DAILY "INTEGRAL" PRACTICE TELESEMINAR (FREE)

"Greetings!

It's been a long time since I've sent an email to you as a part of my "own" email list (apart from Beyond Awakening, which, together with what I'm announcing here, has kept me very busy!)

But I want to make sure invite you to tune in to something I've been working on for the last 7 years, and really, the last 3 decades of my life. I believe it will be of deep benefit to you and our whole community.

What would our world look like if many of us were actually doing a heartfelt, deep spiritual practice that reconnected us each day to our hearts, our bodies, Life, and the Mystery of existence?

I'm convinced--and I hope to share my radical optimism with you--that the only way to truly evolve ourselves individually, culturally, and as a planetary civilization...

... our best bet, and also the simplest and most immediate action we can take today, to gradually, yet profoundly, change the course of our lives ...

... is for each of us to have a daily, do-able spiritual practice based on integral principles.

And, I believe I've distilled the essence of what such a practice looks like.

After over 3 decades of doing my own practice, after teaching Integral Practice for 7 years, and after a year of interviewing over 30 of the brightest and deepest spiritual teachers of our time--I am ready to share with you my essential synthesis in a FREE special teleconference:

The 3 Essential Practices of an Integral Spiritual Life: How to Gradually, Yet Profoundly, Deepen Your Life while Serving the Evolution of Our World

I'm so fired up to share this FREE teleconference because I know that spiritual practice is alive--and it's evolving--and it will continue to evolve because that's what it loves to do... and because it must.

And it makes perfect sense.

We are living and doing our practices in a world that would be totally unrecognizable to the great enlightened luminaries of ancient times.

Before the Buddha awakened under the Bodhi Tree, he wasn't dealing with spam, computer viruses, voicemail, insurance claims, credit ratings, childcare, coordinating busy schedules, or fears over global warming.

But we're not passive victims of our circumstance. Not at all.

There are simple yet powerful ways for us to rise to these unprecedented challenges, and this is precisely what I will be talking about in my free teleconference.

I invite you to listen to it live, or hear the recording afterwards.

Sign up here to get on the notification list and receive free instant access to the telesconference details right away.

Truly, I am excited and honored to share with you what is in many ways the culmination of my lifetime of work and research.

I look forward to being with you on the teleconference!

With love,
Terry

PS - Please feel free to invite your friends and loved ones to attend this teleconference. Simply forward them this email."

SPIRITUAL WRITERS AND CELEBRITY IDOLIZATION

I have met some top names on the spiritual writer/teachers circle on the Spiritual Expos/Fairs. It still amazes me to meet stuck up spiritual writers. What's going on there?
I approach no one differently, stranger or friend, I act as if there is no difference between us. Brothers or Sisters, same family, same bodies, same ultimate goal of Unity.
It's probably due to this view that I find it so odd that some people build a quick brick walls between us at first meeting, especially after writing such grand ideas on books, ideas they don't seem to be following.

Is it due to celebrity idolization of our time?

If you write a great book, people buy it, take it to heart and praise you, you can easy lift your nose a little right. Sneaks up on you.

Finland is a small country, but we have our share of "celebrities", and I see few of them once in a while living in the capital - and I still get the 'nose up, look away' treatment if I smile at them. Well I am odd for smiling at strangers I know, but they don't give me the cold shoulder quite like 'famous' people.

So are our spiritual writers and teachers getting snobbish? Well some are, even my favourite angel lady has this lesson to learn on her list. I expected a different feeling from her few years ago, and was so to say disappointed.

Why am I writing about this? Well I suppose I still don't understand how some people can view themselves better than others. Seriously can someone give me one good, kind, constructive reason for thinking some people are better than others?
How does this fit to us all being sisters and brothers, all divine by origin, all here to learn to find our way back to divine love? How?

One of the things that puzzle me about humanity, but explains our current state of discord.

Love, Light and Joy!

QUOTE ON RESENTMENT/GRIEVANCE

"Having a grievance or a resentment is like drinking poison and thinking it will kill your enemy."
~ Nelson Mandela

MEANING OF MY TAROT READINGS

What is the meaning of me giving these Tarot readings?

Ten of Cups - SATIETY - Cups represent the reality of our inner emotions, they rule over Love, Emotions and Interaction in Relationships. They rule the Element of Water.
Satisfaction, Mars in Pisces, Fulfilment, Radiation.
The ten of cups have arranged themselves in the shape of the Tree of Life, everything is in their right place in perfect balance, this symbolises deep fulfilment. At the top the Lotus flower is a sign of Love's abundance received, this love is so over flowing it gives to all participated, anyone willing to accept it can be participating in receiving it through this current on flowing Love. The Cup handles are made of horns of Aries which represents Mars. The golden color tells of total transformation that can now access the energies of Mars. Mars in the spiritual Pisces does not express itself by being crude or rough, toxic or snobby. Mars in Pisces expresses itself by bringing what seems a fragile creature with determination that this needs to express the deepest beauty carried inside. This needs no dramatic expression of emotion. Person fulfilling their purpose radiant these qualities. A tree is known by its fruits.
Life will give me what I need to be Happy.

~

Well, those of you who have contacted me know I always begin the reading relationship by stating this...
First I have to tell you few things about how I read the Tarot. I do not operate through fear or shady metaphors. Those have no place in a Lightworker. I also do not read reversed / "upside down" cards that interpret through / cause negativity. The Tarot are meant to be tools of Unconditional Love and connection to our spirit guides and ascended masters - and it would be silly to think they would try and scare us. So, in my reading you will not get bad news or scary threats, all of my readings come from Higher Power, our Higher Self, these cards are the way of interpretation through Love, and it's Wisdom.
Perfectly at balance with the Mars in Pisces energies, and who are you calling fragile, huh? Well, suppose that applies as well, not that I like admitting it.

I do get a deep sense of fulfilling my destiny as I do these readings - I have forever wanted to help and heal with all my power that has been granted to me ( by me, by I AM,  I might add ;) ), I've used Reiki, I've used the power of words, and now I use the Tarot, which has brought me in close contact with so many people who have needed guidance, and I have been given a chance to give what naturally comes from me.

I like how it is said through the card, the over flowing love, because that is how I feel it as well, I have so much to share and give that it overflows. People who are willing to accept it, by asking for a reading, will always receive it through me. The divine wisdom coming through from our I AM, yours and mine, the Universes.

I'm glad I did do this reading, a great Confirmation.

Love, Light and Joy!

WHY DOES EATING LOCAL, ORGANIC FOODS MATTER?

Why does eating local, organic foods matter?

You can't really start a conversation about this with intelligent person without the topic of pesticide and genetically modified foods coming up. Thank god for that! I'm sure people are aware, they know for example that eating MSG ( monosodium glutamate ) potato chips isn't good for you, drinking aspartame ( poisoning and side effects ) diet drinks isn't good for you.

It is unfortunate that all this crucially important information comes through conspiracy theorist - it tends to loose momentum at least ten fold due to it. If a raving guy on youtube presents these facts of what is in our food, and how oestrous it is to give this to us, by the time he mentions "The Elite" or "New World Order" ( what is NWO ) people huff and puff and look at something else.

I believe in Integral point of view. Each and everyone has truth some more than others, but we all have truth in us. Conspiracy theorists know because it comes naturally for them to search news and books on details of how mankind is getting sucker bunched. They run into things that pass through main news like water through sieve, without much of a look from the public. So the news reaches a small amount of people because of the ravings including what ever is popular at the moment.

What Food and People need is a serious documentary ( writing this I wonder has Michael Moore delved on this yet ), we need a serious channel to tell us what is going on so that most people can be reached, without people telling them Bush is new satan. A documentary of substance, of hard facts, news articles, studies.

There is so much information out there for people to see if they would just look.
I've had to train myself to watch some of these exposé videos on food, drugs and controlling our living environment, I've had to learn to listen to the facts and block out the conspiracies just to keep up with what's good for me and what is not. ( this is why you see me post these videos on psychological drugs, chemtrails, genetically modified foods )

Which is where I get back to the original point - why eat local and organic foods?
Because you know how it's grown, you know if it's genetically modified, you know it is purest you can get, best for your body, mind and soul.

Do your best to buy clean normal foods, organics when you can, local and close by - and say no to genetically modified seeds and cancer inducing pesticide through your vote on who takes a seat in your government.

Love, Light and Joy!

INSTANT KARMA, INSTANT GRATIFICATION AND ACCELERATING TIMES

Accelerating times, I'm sure we have all heard that in one form or another, either spiritually or plainly put as not having enough hours in a day. But as this blog is about Spirituality in everyday life I'll focus on the first.

I was reminded of this again at the I Am Fair, when Michelle Karén spoke of it in her lecture, she used the Instant Karma point, much like instant coffee all you have to do is stir a little and you got a whole new brew. It's like that with Karma as well now, you stir up your life and like magic it changes in record time, you cannot hide behind delays and time anymore. One action doesn't have a long reroute system anymore but direct connection. I noticed it best last year in the beginning, I said something derogative and whole hell broke loose within three weeks - well it taught me as well as old fashion thrashing - I'm not doing that again. And I haven't, I have no desire to cause karma, especially now on this accelerating time before 2012.

It seems to have been pointed out a lot that times are accelerating as we get closer to 2012, Instant Karma is one of them. The other perhaps bit gentler is Instant Gratification.

Perhaps an example of this would explain it better.
I booked a dentist check up on Wednesday, later realizing it left me about ten minutes to get to work to a Spring Party for the kids, so deciding I needed to change it I thought of calling them, never got around to it that day, so next morning they rang telling me they were closed on Wednesday and would I like Thursday instead. :) I did of course.
Another was mix up about dinner, I had told my hubby that he should have the soup for dinner on Wednesday as I was working till eight pm. Well coming home on Tuesday I suddenly though on the road, oh crap I have to fry his dinner as he doesn't like it micro waved I don't wanna do that, but submissing myself to do it anyway with a sigh, so I get in and smell soup. He got days mixed and had made the soup, sparing me the frying.
Latest was of different kind, I was home heading for a evening meeting to work, and just before heading out I pouted saying I don't want to go about six times, the day was too cold to peek my nose out again. Well I get to the bus stop, first bus doesn't come at all, and I stand there freezing my butt off, next one drives by with the driver hand signalling me, no not the finger, he did a 'T' for Täynnä (Full). So I stomp to the metro, cursing under my frozen breath, get to work do the meeting and on my way home realize, wait I "asked for this". Then there is "the a-ha" again.
No these happen so often now that I cannot recall more because they are my daily routine.

You got to be careful what you wish for, there is no time interfering here because the Universe always knows what you want, like easily removable wallpaper during renovations or one four day week. That one was funny, btw, I was getting off the bus at going to work and though how four week workdays would be better for general effectiveness at work, and hour later I am offered that Friday off. :)

It's harder to spot these in relationships as they tend to be sneakier to indentify as something you created because we have learned it's always the other that's wrong or causing trouble right, not me. ;) This is something I want to focus on now in identifying.

World is full of miracles! See them, enjoy them, thank for them and be careful what you wish for on these accelerated times!

Love, Light and Joy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG! YOU'RE AN AQUARIUS!

I was going to work this morning, riding in the metro thinking, what the sign of my blog is as it is it's 4th Birthday?! And how cool would it be if it were Aquarius, helping bring forth Age of Aquarius - any way decided to check what my Blog's Sign is when I got home after a work day... well can you guess what it turned out to be? An Aquarius! Kismet right. ;) Well I sure think so! Here is what being Aquarius means for my Blog.

Traditional Aquarian Traits:
Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual

Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to "Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes," and are prepared to learn from everyone.

Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.

They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these with the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research to fulfill their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind. When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health.

Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama.

In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to them.
They do not give themselves easily - perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life. However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not forgive.

Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them. They have a feeling of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. They may excel in photography, radiography, electronics - anything connected with the electrical and radio industries - aviation and everything technical. On the arts and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare workers and teachers. Some have gifts as entertainers and make good character actors (having an ability to mimic) and musicians. The more psychic among them possess healing gifts, especially in curing the mentally sick.

( and for LOLs :D )

Possible Health Concerns...
As Aquarius is said to govern the legs from knees to ankles and the circulation of blood, its natives are susceptible to ailments particularly in the legs and ankles, such as cramps, and are also liable to spasmodic and nervous complaints, as well as wind, catarrh, diarrhea, dropsy, goiter and delirium tremens - so that the avoidance of alcohol is important for those Aquarians who have a taste for it.

LIKES
Fighting for Causes
Dreaming and Planning for the Future
Thinking of the Past
Good Companions
Having Fun
DISLIKES 
Full of Air Promises
Excessive Loneliness
The Ordinary 
Imitation 
Idealistic

Happy Birthday 4 Year Old Aquarian Blog!

Love, Light and Joy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG! ☆ YOU'RE FOUR! ☆

My phone peeped to life this morning, reminding me of something.
I've run this blog for 4 years now!
Four years of blogging about Spirituality in my Everyday Life, looking back, man all the typos! ;D LOL! Well I have gotten much better in expressing myself and my english has greatly improved during these four year living with my husband who's a great teacher by being an example of american dialect.

My first blog entry = Youth of the Planet which I transported from my early neglected blog at bravesomethingnet. I was 21 when I wrote it in 2004. 17th of February 2007.

This blog has seen it all! My change of jobs, my work related burn out, my inner struckle to win over moral condauct and rules related to living.

Be Happy which is where I stopped watching the news and the immercing myself in chaos and gossib on tv and internet.
Between Two - Deciding wither to stay at my old job or not.
Resigned - Trusting my angels and guides I simply quit and got a job immediately.

With 417 Entries, kind of equals 100 entries per year, but there was year two that wasn't very active, so it's probably been closer to 300 entries last year 2010.

This blog as witnessed the most important change in my whole life in April 2010.
The Now - Realizing life is only in the now. April 10th 2010.
Peace by Forgiveness - delving more into the peaceful life.

This blog has been an amazing way to seeing myself in a whole new light! Seeing where I come from Kings of Finland, and where my finnish spirituality is taking me, Kalevala Studies.

Happy Birthday BLOG! You're 4 years old!

Love, Light and Joy!

NEUROPLASTICITY & DOING, VISUALISING AND SEEING OTHERS DO PROBLEM & ASCENSION ASTROLOGY

Time to go over the Minä Olen Fair, Day One, that was yesterday. I personally always go only on Saturdays, because I need a day to recover before having to head back to work. This year was slightly different from other, first there seem to be more people, especially teenagers, which is good, but I gave a slight giggle at their hip glasses and  retro stylish clothes. I am sure when I was eighteen and went to my first fair I was just as bad, well perhaps not quite so stylish. I saw a lot of people I remembered from last year, especially on the sales stands. Now the program this year, I have to say I sort of expected more but got less - the absolute best were David R.  Hamilton, a Scotsman who I originally didn't plan to see but turned out to be the best performer as well as giving most of new information in the field of scientific studies on the neuroplasticity of the brain and our DNA.

But let's start at the beginning!

Mom and I waiting for the first lecture to begin, the "Healing Powers of Light and Vibration" by Cosme Castanieto.



As it turned out this lecture couldn't hold our attention, it might be because of the interpreting that threw off his flow of speaking or what, but we decided to leave after 20 minutes to go shop around a little.


We looked around the second floor first, me staying by my books a whole lot of time, but eventually I asked mom if she wanted to go take Aura Photographs, which neither one of us have taken in a long time, me about 5 years, her in 3 years.
In my photo, the man interpreted was a lack on physical (lower part of the photo) which he was completely right, I've stopped working out, which will have to be picked up again. The orange here is healing energy and there is a lot of it, and it's surrounding the blue and white that is my spiritual and intellectual aura, which automatically made me think of my blog and the free readings and healings I give here. At the very top the red orbs are stress, which I can tell are due to my uncle in the hospital, but they are at the edges with spiritual knowledge between them effecting my body. ( I put the photo away too quickly, still bit wet, which caused the few pixels being pulled off, the white)

Now this was the point that mom left, and I staid to go to the rest of the lectures. I lasted few minutes on the Health lecture before heading out to hear David Hamilton's "Mind and Visualisation Healing the Body". I walk into the Hall and he telling about Viagra and how rhyming  it with Niagara conjures up  an image of force and power and crushing flow, all righty, then her goes about saying would the drug work less perhaps if it rhymed different, for example the drug be called Flobby. This got a roaring laugh out of everyone.


He continued to tell of an experiment where married couples we studied one couple at a time in a room for 30 minutes where the couple had to talk about something to do with their marriage. There were two extremes the hateful ones who easily got to argument about nailed each other to the walls, and those who were compassionate, loving, reminiscing on some beautiful memory. They had gotten a full physical before the 30 minutes, and it turned out all the people at the hateful end had hardened arteries, their bodies when hatefully living their lives were physically hardening up. The compassionate ones had bigger soft arteries, with easy blood flow. He gave few other examples after this but returned to why this happened later. When you do to others something loving and compassionate, not to yourself but to others your brain produces oxytocin that travels through your blood to your cells, now as they impact with the cells the cell produces off them nitrous oxide which actually opens up the arteries and softens them giving the heart room to pup blood hence lowering your blood pressure. Now - the interesting thing was there was the same amount of fat, smokers and alcohol user in both end of the couple groups. The only difference was that one side was loving and compassionate, the other wasn't.
Article about it  = http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-r-hamilton-phd/can-kindness-cut-the-risk_b_799562.html


He also talked about something I thought was the coolest thing since sliced bread! There was an experiment where a man was told to curl his pinkie finger for 15 mins, 5 days a week for 3 months. Now this stimulated that part of the brain that actually grew 40 times it size in those 3 months (40 times as in more connections, more intricate and so on not all just size) and his finger could lift 35% more weight since the beginning of the test. Now there was also a man who visualised curling up his pinkie finger 15 mins a day 5 days a week for 3 months and his finger was 35% stronger after three months and his part of the brain 40 times larger. Amazing right!? But that's not all. There was a third man who watched the first guy curl his pinkie finger, and guess what? His pinkie finger was 35% stronger and brain 40 times larger on that area! By just watching it!
What do we make of this then? The brain knows no difference between you doing it - you visualising it or you watching someone do it - results are the same! Amazing isn't it. This interested me beyond words.
He also spoke about mediation, and apparently people who mediate regularly have a thicker frontal lobe of the brain, and meditating switches on 1561 genes in your DNA, and shuts off some 600.

Well it was hard to top that! But I left the Hall wiser than I stepped on it, I about ran, as fast as you can run  in a crowd of herrings in a tin to fetch the book I had been meaning to buy, "The Ancient Finland's Forgotten Kingdom" by Jukka Nieminen, a great book so far, talks about Finnish Ley Lines, sacred sites and more, it boggles the mind that most people know nothing of these things!


This next one I had truly been waiting for the angel lecture! Maria Zavou's "Healing Energies of Angels". Which I am sad to say didn't suit me, she seemed only to promote her books and workshops with few tid bits of information on angel surgery. Me, as many others as well, left mid way with a bit of a pout. She simply stayed behind the speakers box, looking bored and strict, no smiles no connecting to the audience. I expected much more from it, information for one hand, perhaps angel mediations, but it was all a plug to attend her courses. Well perhaps her books are something else. But it seems Diana Cooper will continue to be my angel lady.

 


Now Michelle Karén was different. I saw her by her booths before the lecture and she was kind enough to offer me to make an offer on her astrology reading when I told her I was on a tight budget this month, that was truly kind and would have taken up on it had I not been on the super tight budget that only allowed the fair for this month. But to her lecture next! My second favourite of the day! She was very engaging with the audience, smiled a lot and walked on stage, similar to David Hamilton's performance. She managed to laugh at herself and the current state of the world a bit, which always relaxes the audience. She talked about the Mayan calendars, 9 steps, days and nights, which I knew, thought this:


But she also matched astrology with her calendar interpretations. On the photo below she talked about Jupiter (money, finances) moving to Pisces (sharing freedom silence) and how from Jan 17th 2010 to Jan. 22 2011 was all about the beginning of new money, responsibility, sharing, giving for free, trading. It was time of loosing bad money and figuring how to make more of what we already have, recycling.
Then Saturn moving into Libra on July 21st 2010 to Oct 5th 2012 is all about Love, loosing inadequate relationships, finding true love, not settling, this is a time when true relationship, soul mate and twin flames getting together. Uranus entering Mars may 27th to Aug 13th 2010 was and now again is all about corruption being shows and bad companies collapsing, negative energies being wiped out, she mentioned Thailand tsunamis due to drugs and prostitution, Haiti due to corruption and  one more I cannot call right now.
Chiron entering Pisces April 20 to July 19th 2010 was all about ethics, and morals, a sort of silent knowledge of what is right.
She also spoke of time accelerating, it feels like it because karma is instant we cannot hide behind karma anymore, you do it and it is for all to see, there is no more delay where you can hide. And it will pick up more speed as we get closer and closer to Dec 21st 2012.

I AM FAIR TODAY + BOOK FINDS AND HISTORY

Like I blogged before, today is the day. The Minä Olen Fair, the I Am Fair in Espoo!
It's only 5:40 am so I still slightly sleepy but I should be awake nicely by ten.

Doors open at 10, but I'll head for 11 so I have few things I get to see before the first lecture I'm going to starts at noon, the "Healing Powers of Light and Vibration" by Cosme Castanieto, followed by "Healing Energies of Angels" by Maria Zavou, and then  "Introduction to Astrology for Enlightenment" by Michelle Karén.
 
I love the energy of this place, and the people, I mostly go just to see the lectures but I usually end up spending about fifty euros there everytime, small amount, but then again I don't need that much.

I do need some real Sandalwood Incense as it is hard to find the shops near me. As well as the new book on the Forgotten Kingdom of Finland. :) I hope there is copies of that left!
 
I have been obsessing over this book series lately, unable to set the books down, The Oulander Series. All seven books are luckily over thousand page bricks. I read book three of the series first and am now over haldway through book one. I would not get them if I were you unless you like romance and medieval history, and well-- time travel.
If I have vices it might be historical novels, I absolutely love them, I miss the period somehow I imagine, the simplicity of it, not so much the grimy parts - bit romantic view isn't it. ;) Taking into consideration I know very well how hard the other side of the time was, well we all have our little escapes, mine is reading.

Now having picked up the next book on the series from the library I also picked up three other items.
The Keys to the Universe which I haven't even had a change to skim through yet but by few exceprt my husband read to me when he picked it up it seem the Cooper standars. "Isn't Megatron a Transformer?" He quizzed me. "What?" "I'm sure of it Megatrons a Transformer!" He repeated. "Gimme that." I read sentance. "It says Metatron... not Megatron." "Oh." "That's the voice of god not a transformer...."

I also picked up 2010 collection of Rumi's poems... now these I really enjoyed my husband quoting me, I told him to finds a love poem and read that one.
"Intellectuals try not to drown,
while the whole purpose of love is drowning."
His poems are something else, I've only read them online so it'll be a pleasure to read them from a book without squinting at the bright computer screen.
Perhaps it will inspire me to write a poem again.
I very rarely write poems but perhaps there will be an occasion now.

And the last but not the least a DVD of Deepak Chopra's called Happiness Perscription - I watched the first chapter, What is Happiness? and I really liked it. I haven't seen him lecture, speak before so it was a nice suprise to see him walk about instead of just sitting put.
I'm sure when I have a moment I'll watch all of them in a row but as mentioned above I am all booked for today with Fair!

I'll hope to see you there!

Love, Light and Joy!

DEATH AND UNCERTAINTIES

I can't help but to think of death at the moment, at least momentarily at some intervals. The reason is my uncle was found unconscious yesterday and rushed to the hospital where he was still unconscious and had to be put on life support. I got a call from my aunt who was trying to get in contact with my dad, and ever since that call I've been feeling slightly out of place. First thing I did after the call was send Reiki and the Archangel of healing Raphael to him and Archangel Gabriel and his Angels of Peace to his family, feeling their presence myself.

Not knowing if someone is going to die is very different from the day to day life where you know how fragile life is and how easy it is to die just crossing the street.
Which is probably why I dreamt of death all night. I dreamt the Queen had died in London, her funeral cart pulled across the streets followed by thousands turned into Michael Jackson's casket, pulled by three horses which rains I held, when we reached the park my husband and I walked the through it to the crowd of people, of which one tried to stab me and kill me four times.

I know what death is, and I know what it is not.
It's continuation, not the end.
But I also know what it is to people who are still here, alive. It's a point in our life when we consider death and all the uncertainties that come with it, there is many what ifs and hows.
I personally thought what it would be like to loose a father, even if we aren't as close as say my mother, I thought what would it be like if I lost a sibling, a sister or a brother.
Knowing that after death is divine and blissful before rotation to Earth again, and that they are on the other side of a veil that we all cross to forget "heaven", and life - or I should say existence - there is much better than here. But there is still us humans down here rooted to the Earth and it's experiences, rooted to feel, rooted to learn.

I lost my grandmother last year, and as sad and emotional as it was, it was also something that brought me closer to my father, and when I think of her these days when I wear the heart necklace she gave me I feel her spirit, her joy and as happy as that is it is still sad I cannot touch her, as much as I can feel her around and feel her happiness I can't touch her which is such a human thing to do - to touch - I feel disconnected from her. As connected as I am to her even now.

To me death has never been about the loss of people, I can have connection to people that have been close but my body feels the loss, if that makes any sense. Unable to hug, hold hands, feel the physical presence of them is a loss I do feel in the body level - even when I know better. But perhaps such ultimately physical experience is something of a constant on this Earth.

Death, much harder for us who are left behind, no matter how wise we are on the passing on of souls, one way or another there is always loss.

Love, Light and Joy

I AM FAIR ON 12TH AND 13TH - THIS WEEKEND

 Minä Olen (I AM) Fair is this weekend! It's my start up for a year of Spiritual Fairs.
More information can be found here in Finnish http://www.minaolen.com/messut2011/
And the PDF. of the program  here http://www.minaolen.com/messut2011/Messuliite.pdf

I really enjoyed last year, but as it was before April I couldn't quite reap all the benefits. But I'm sure it will be an experience to enjoy as well this year.

I will have to see what purchases I will get this year, but I am tempted to buy another Tarot deck to compliment my Aleisteir Crowley's Thoth Tarot, I have to say if they have Ciro Marchetti's The Legacy of Divine Tarot I will have to get it.
But I will probably walk out with a book of some sort, a gem necklace, CD and incense.

The lectures I plan on seeing, ( this year mom is coming with me! She has missed the past 3 years ) :  
"Healing Powers of Light and Vibration" by Cosme Castanieto  
"Healing Energies of Angels" by Maria Zavou
"Introduction to Astrology for Enlightenment" by Michelle Karén
And perhaps if we have time Jonette Crowley's "Awakening Kindness is the Flow of Life".

I hope to see you there! Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th!

Love, Light and Joy!

DREAM = FAMILY MATTERS, SISTERS, HUMANITY

As always the dream brought up an insight on the human state of affairs, you can skip the dream if you wish and go straight to the Interpretation.

Dream = I was with my two sisters in a white apartment, an we talked about a gig we were going to go see, my older sister wanted to shoot the show with her video camera, so I said I could take the snap shots. We went to the place where the gig was going to be held, it was in the woods but the ground was sandy with long pine around, the pre-show was in a log house and little bit of a show was going on there but after photographing some things there my sisters told me it was actually outside. There was some talk with them saying they didn't want to be in the front, so we went in last. I remember taking a picture of them running in front of me before I woke up.

Sister = Siblings are a fantastic source of dream material. Our siblings are important to us emotionally and psychologically. We are bound to them on some level throughout our lives; thus, they will appear in our dreams in may different forms. We learn important lessons about ourselves through our brothers and sisters. They are a reflection on us, and we can not escape their presence and their love, hate or any other emotion . If you have many unresolved issues with your siblings, it is likely that they will frequently appear in your dreams. ( both of my sisters were in my dream )
White = To dream of the color white is symbolic of exclusivity, the new world, appeal, protest, reform, purity, simplicity, justice and innocence. ( reform and simplicity )
House = It is common to dream about houses. They usually symbolize our emotional and psychological selves. All of your experiences, stages of development, and parts of your conscious and unconscious life may be represented by that house. The house may be representing issues concerning a particular dilemma in your life, or it may be more general and comprehensive. Either way, if you pay attention to the details in this dream, you may learn a thing or two about yourself. ( I love house dreams, they are usually the most powerful in telling deep subconscious thought of our own )
Camera = To dream about a camera indicates a wish to hold onto and not let go of your past. It may also indicate that you must focus more tightly on a current circumstances that has arisen within your life. You may need to have a better idea or more focused notion on this situation. ( true, I know as they grow from being kids to adults the bond we have is changing - as much as I'd love to have my little sisters I have to acknowledge they are their own unique persons and not only my baby sisters to protect )

Forest = They may represent your unconscious or your "mental space." If you are lost in the woods, it may be a reflection of feelings of confusion and lack of clear direction. The dark and threatening woods may represent the dark and unexplored areas of the psyche. ( the woods were clear, I knew where I was and with who and I was having fun, I think my sub-consciousness and psyche are telling me this isn't a bad change )
Sand = To see sand in your dream indicates that you are having a change of heart or your position on a certain issue has been altered. It may also mean that you need to shift your outlook to something more productive or significant. ( perfectly in line with before, something changed in my state )
Pine trees = The tree in your dream is you. The health, size and overall quality of the tree is indicative of how you feel about yourself. This interpretation is to be made only when the tree is the focal point of the dream. Also, consider whether the tree is alive with leaves, flowers or fruit, or if it's barren. You may see trees in your dream as a part of a landscape or as a secondary symbol. At those times, consider all of the details as they may have different interpretations than the one just given.  =  To see lush green trees in your dream symbolizes new beginnings, development and desires, It is also indicative of your uniqueness and maturity. ( the pines were full grown and in very good health. After this dream, sub-conscious message a new beginning begins )
Band = To dream about a band symbolizes feelings of acceptance and togetherness. It could also involve a pun about "banding together." ( suits well as the final note that with this change in attitude should bring acceptance and togetherness )
Running/Race = If you are competing, you need to consider your competitive drive and realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running in a race and win, your unconscious may be expressing confidence that you may or may not feel in the wakened state. ( it was in a way race but we made the conscious choice we didn't need to be at the front of the show - there before others. perhaps something don't need to be rushed.

Interpretation 

This dream was about me and my sisters and a simple reform in our sub-conscious relationship with each other on my end. The camera said it all, small note on not wanting to let go of the past I have with my sisters. Having approximately ten year difference in age, I have always looked at them from a point of protection, I have always been old enough to realize they are little and need me differently than my brother who is same age as me. In our youth there hasn't been so many years that we have lived together under the same roof having only one parent shared. And the older we get the more there is separation, I have to say I always enjoyed it how when I came by that they still loved me and thought I was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but as we get older we all start to build the ( don't know why ) necessary walls adults have. And the relationship changes. I sometimes think if I am too much gone from their lives, even though I think about them daily. I have always, as long as I can remember, been a hermit so to speak. I immensely enjoy being alone with just my mind, my soul and spirit world. And when I do raise my head from that I wonder if I am alienating myself from my family.

While in the dream time we accept some great truths about ourselves, in dream time while we sleep our mind has a moment to truly bonder and create change where it is necessary, without the interference from the daily routines and work.

This change last night for me was the change in how I see my sisters, instead the same protective edge reserved for children with blood relations, I now recognize they are their own individual people, not just my sisters. It is hard to explain the change, and I don't mean to sound callous, but I think each person born on this earth has the right to be view as the unique, ultimately different yet alike person they are.
After all we are all brothers and sisters are we not?
I bet people would feel far more connected to each other on this earth if we would now the infinite amount of other life in the multiple Universes around us, we would truly see ourselves as much brothers and sister as if we were joined by blood. Think how closely us all share our dna, compared to life we find one day away from Earth.

This part about seeing my sisters with more than protectiveness reserved for family applies to all my sisters and brothers on this Earth. Are you not allowed to be your unique manifestation of humanity? Of course you are, of course I am. We are all entitled to that love we currently only give to blood, and sometimes not even them.
Entitled to be recognised as our unique self, each of us.

Funny how I granted this to everyone first and now have to remind myself to include my family in this bargain. ;) Of course sometimes it's hard to see the forest from the trees, huh?

It is amusing how your mind works, isn't it, and how you automatically know which dreams truly need interpreting. This one reflected me through my siblings who I connect most to as part of my family, to show me what I had missed.

Have you noticed how sometimes it's hard to see the humanity in the family, see the forest from the trees?

Love, Light and Joy!
