“But what if there is no right or wrong? How then would you decide your reality?”

What The Bleep… J. Z. Knight

We all grew up programmed to follow the Golden Rule and always do what is “right.” The problem is that these perceptions of right or wrong are not are own. As Spiritual seekers it is time to drop our opinioned minds and make space to create a new, more expanded reality. Between the duality of right and wrong, black and white, good and bad, lies our ability to create a new reality that embraces rather than judges us with every thought.

For example, I have a client who is immersed in her daughter’s life, expecting “good” behavior all the time and demanding great grades because this is what she feels her daughter is capable of. In this case she has made her daughter’s behavior often wrong and herself right. They are now both stuck in this loop of anger and resentment. There is no way out except for compliance, which would then create such anger for the child that the relationship would become adversarial. A powerful step for her would be to set a standard she follows in her own life and allow her daughter the journey into finding her own truth using her mother’s behavior as a foundation not a limiting box.

This is often a scary step but find a place in your life where your judgment of someone close to you causes a continual loop of frustration in your relations and take a step toward trusting and allowing. Trust is not about the other person, it’s about trusting your heart to change a wrong into a new creation that works for everyone involved.

“Heart Reflections” is a weekly form of sharing I have been guided to initiate, a kind of thought to ponder to start your week. Please allow it to move your feelings and spur your thoughts.

“Perhaps you have been hiding behind the shield for a long, long time to keep from being hurt and all the while hurting yourself.”

“The Wounded Heart” by Nancy Joy Hefron

Recently my husband Mark and I had our world turned upside down and in the throws of the emotional rockets that exploded, our shields and walls cracked apart to reveal the pain in which we had encases ourselves. We are still healing but one thing we know for sure, we are happy to have reconnected with the magic of chance we had been hiding from. There are always the gifts.

Today, identify a place inside your own emotions where you keep a pattern in place because you think it protects you an experiment with dropping your usual response when threatened and trying something new. Perhaps soon we will not need to keep creating the emotional rockets to explode us out of our cages.

“Hold onto nothing and you have everything!”

By Jelaila Starr www.nibiruancouncil.com

On my first trip to Egypt, I met a wise man who took me into the caves under the great pyramid to meditate with him. We sat on stone ledges deep inside the heart of the pyramid in silence for a long time. I felt every thing changing in my cells. I was then given the image of taking my gold Aquarian cross off my neck and placing it over his to honor his gift to me. At first, I resisted because that cross represented a spiritual awakening in my life and I had not taken it off once since August 17, 1992.

Finally I stood up and as I thanked him, I began to place the chain over his head. He reached up and took my hands, cupping the cross within, he placed them on my heart and said, “You only had to be willing to let go, Nancy. This is your lesson this day. Always be willing.”

Since that day in December, 1994 I have learned to keep letting go. Sometimes I forget and hold on and this is the place I feel pain and this is where I remain stuck. Find one place in your life today where you are holding onto something (a thing or way of being) and be willing to let it go.

Right now, offer it to someone else or see yourself on a mountain, hands spread wide with all those things you covet floating freely away from you.

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”

“The Prophet” by Kahill Kibran

This, at first, sounds contradictory but the more you think about your own life the more truth you discover in this prophet’s wisdom. For me, I first thought about the sometimes-painful journey of my Spiritual career and I could clearly see that it is the greatest joy in my life. Knowing there is more pain ahead would never turn me away from my passion. Then of course there are my sons who bring so much joy in my life and have caused me so much stress and heart ache (not to mention child birth!) The onto to my husband who I adore even after I recall all the growing pains and roller coasters we have created together on our journey. I could not imagine any joy without him.

You get the point. Take some time this morning to think of all the joys in your life and then remember the times each one caused you pain. Once we stop trying to label everything and make things good and bad we will be so much more joyful even when the painful times come. Once again, both things are true and that is integration, the only way home.

“Joy and sadness can live together in the same heart and dance a beautiful dance of healing integration. And, that is the only true joy.”

From “The Wounded Heart” by Nancy Joy Hefron

An Email came the other day from a stranger who had read my book. She quoted this line and she said that this one statement finally gave her permission to begin to understand that being happy one moment and sad the next is really very ok. He told me that she feels as if she has been given a huge key that allows her to accept her feelings instead of trying to feel something she doesn’t.

This connection came at just the right time for me, during a huge winter storm that has left Iowa frozen in inches of ice with no power. As much as this upset me and even scared me, I found it incredibly thrilling because it allowed me to brake free of my routine and my dependencies and find the gift on the feelings of helplessness. The light and the dark of the experiencing were dancing in my heart.

Find a place of sadness in your heart today and allow it to be very OK to join your joy.

“Why should people bother to love if all they’re going to get is a broken heart?” she asked.

“Because,” I said, “Loving is what we do best.”

From “The Lessons of Love” by Melody Beattie

I thought a lot about this quote today from this famous author about the loss of her 12 year-old son in a skiing accident. I can’t imagine much of anything in this world more emotionally devastating than the loss of a child.

Yet after reading Melody’s story, I came to what I have always known…the worst thing of all would be to stop loving for fear that loving often leads to pain.

It is time to truly embrace the integration that joy and pain are not separate but two experiences of love. Both have value and meaning and both emotions were designed by creator to help us find our way back home to the oneness of all things. Can you open your heart a little more to love today?

“Fear can be a gift of great magnitude,” Rose explained. “Think of it as a beacon calling you to step into, not away from, the very thing you are afraid of.”

From “The Wounded Heart” by Nancy Joy

This can be a difficult shift because we have been programmed to think of fear in terms of duality. Love is good. Fear is bad. Choose love over fear. The time for duality on this planet is rapidly ending. It is time to realize that we are one being and every part of our experience is part of us. Anything that separates us in any way is keeping us from advancing in consciousness. So, the more we choose to ignore fear, the louder it must make its presence known. Think of the most fearful people you know and observe how they continue to create what they resist.

Name a fear that has been chasing you in your life like a shadow and choose to stop, turn around and face it. Seek to understand fear’s message and feel the relief of no longer running from part of yourself. Once you face a fear, it no longer has any power to control your life. All fear ever wanted was for you to seek the wound you have been running from.

“I don’t have to forgive you and you don’t have to forgive me. Now is the time to look at why you and I, as souls, chose this journey together.”

From “The Wounded Heart” by Nancy Joy Hefron

This is poignant and potent. There is never anything to forgive if you truly believe that you created your journey on earth to heal your wounded heart. Today, find a relationship or friendship that is stuck in the duality of finger pointing and move it into your heart, asking your soul to help you understand your part in the drama. Then take responsibility for your role. There really is no right or wrong. It only exits in the separation which keeps us from unconditional love.

“Veronika finally allowed her negative feelings to surface, feelings that had been repressed for years in her soul. She actually ‘felt’ them, and now they were no longer necessary, they could leave….She sat in silence, enjoying the present moment, letting love fill up the empty space left behind by the hatred.”

Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho

If we never allow our negative feelings to surface or suppress them so deeply we pretend they do not exist, how can we every empty the wounded spaces in our hearts so we can fill them with love? Allow yourself to allow a negative feeling to come and really feel its pain. Very quickly you will begin to feel peace and then finally a love that goes beyond the surface to be your real truth.

…Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility…

“The Prophet” Kahlil Gibran

A client sent a beautiful, personal Email this week detailing some of her pain and her journey into self-discovery as she follows the threads of this pain. It continues to be so healing for her, not easy, but beautiful. She reminded me of Gibran’s words and when I checked my copy of “The Prophet” I see I read it in l986! I never would have dreamed that 20 years ago when I read his message that I would be so deeply connected with pain’s gifts.

I could write for hours on the subject of pain but instead, I choose to just sit in stillness this morning and allow it to just be my healer rather than “think” about it at all. I feel better.

(This client has given me permission to share her thoughts on pain, so I have included them below.)

A Client’s Journey…

As you know I am going through some sort of growth time. For me, that has always seemed to involve facing the past, the pain and old messages inside of me. A major stage was after my father died-I was 35. There were so many unresolved issues. So much longing and hurt and sadness still inside of me, unbeknownst to me.

I started having flashbacks to my childhood; scenes that I had forgotten were there. Time of pain and humiliation, times when I tried so hard and it hurt so bad that it was never good enough to stop my father's rage and putdowns. Times when my mom would say, do whatever he says, try not to make him mad. I didn't realize at the time that it wasn't what I was doing that caused his rage. I had felt so powerless and helpless and confused and hopeless.

Melody Beattie says that when it isn't safe to feel the emotions that are attached to an event in our childhood, we freeze the feelings and store them inside of us. Our healing comes from becoming strong enough and safe enough so that we can 'open the freezer door', so to speak, and face the event and actually feel the emotion that we needed to when we were a child, but weren't able to.

I went through a stage of doing that in my 40's. Without Melody Beattie's books, I would have thought that I was going insane. Words cannot describe the incredible intensity of pain I felt when memories opened up. I would feel the overwhelming pain and sadness and hurt. I would cry out in pain. Then it would pass and I would feel peaceful and cleaner. Then another wave would come. It happened over and over and over during months and years. Part of me was so grateful to go through this, so I could finally become free. But part of me resisted because it hurt so bad and was so hard to feel the feelings from my childhood-the aloneness, the pain.

In a way, I wished everyone could go through what I did because on the other side it was so much better. The minister I counseled with said for him, it was like slogging through the sewage in the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption". Filth and yuck to get to freedom. But I also understood more why people avoid facing the pain inside of them. When I realized how much pain is there and how much it hurts to face it, I could understand why some people would rather live with the pain. I'm not sure it is really a choice. For me, it was a gift. I didn't ask for it or initiate the process. I think I just reached a place where I was strong enough and healthy enough to handle it-not my opinion-but God knew. I had known for a long time that something wasn't right inside me. I had searched, not knowing what I was looking for or how to get there. I was guided.

I realize not everyone needs to go through what I did. There are many paths to health and healing. But if that old stuff is there, it needs to be dealt with, I have found at least for me. Even now I can feel it build up. Sort of like knowing you need to throw up. Not a fun process but better after you get it out of your system. Or lancing a wound to get the pus out. Or pulling out the splinter so the healing can take place.

I don't yet know how what is happening now inside of me fits together. I feel like a big part of it is realizing that my concept of God needs to be a lot bigger, expanded.

It is definitely a process-stepping from the past into the future. Figuring out what you need to take with you and what you need to get rid of. Trusting-whew, that is a huge issue for me, learning to trust God and trust myself.

Right now some more old crud-shit is more accurate!! :)-is coming to the surface. It is clearing out, making room for better stuff.

Thank you for your integrity and openness that makes me feel okay about sharing this.

Throughout 2007, the Waves of Love will wash away our hiding
places, both within our selves and without. These are the tiny,
cramped places where we have crammed ourselves to stunt our growth
and avoid embodying our true vastness and magnificence. The places
where we stuff our most precious dreams and most intimate desires
so we won't have to face the potential heartbreak of their possible
failure. The places where we hide under a blanket of empty excuses
to avoid stepping into the responsibility of fulfilling our true
purpose and doing what we really came here to do.

Solara’s Surf Report for 2007

WOW! This moved me. I could feel those “cramped places that stunt my growth.” I am very aware I am in one right now. I have written an article about that pattern called “Dreams and Failures.” It holds some great insight to help you through the coming challenges. http://www.heartlights.net/html/articles.html

I am already feeling the “waves of love” and yet I am not fooling myself. As they wash away the blankets, armor and veils in which I have been hiding my self, there is work to do. At least now we now have access to the most advanced emotional consciousness ever available on earth to help us heal…Conscious Compassion.

“When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good, not your friends, relatives, co-workers, boss, children or your mate.”

From the movie “The Secret” www.thesecret.tv

This is universal law and also sums up my emotional healing journey over the past decade from “To Love It All” all the way to “It’s All About You.”

Yet, even though I breath and teach this truth and have found it has an ability to change my life, I still struggle with my ego that’s wants me to believe it is about someone or something else.

Just for today, take one person close to you who is triggering you and find that still place inside of you that can take a step toward owning your own feelings and taking responsibility for your experiences. Find the value in your creation and change your feelings. Easier said then done perhaps, yet the more you work with it, the more you will succeed and the happier you really will be. When you change, everything around you follows.

“Success in the world is about getting a lot of heads wagging in agreement, but, the truth doesn’t get people’s heads wagging, it shocks them!”

David Icke from The Truth Shall Set You Free

As we welcome in a New Year, it is time to take stock of our personal truth and look at all the places we are afraid to share it because those we love and even those we don’t even know will ridicule or argue with us. Perhaps one resolution for the first week of 2007 would be to intend to find a single place where you are afraid to share your personal truth and do just that. Allow the reaction to be what ever it is and then find your center within the reaction. What a great way to start a trend for our shifting world this coming year.

Merry Christmas! No matter where you are this day; how you are celebrating; or what religion you practice; it is a special day. It is special because it is a day that much of the world is focused on family, friends and feelings of the heart. As we all know, some of the feelings are joyful and filled with harmony while others are sad and sometimes tinged with grief of times past and emotions unexpressed. Whatever you are experiencing this Christmas, it is perfect. Embrace all your feelings and experiences and bring them into your heart. There is nothing wrong if this day isn’t a vision of your perfect expectations. The truth is, it is a reflection of your journey. Embrace it all.

Eventually you will come to see anything you do to make a living as an illusion to support you in the illusion you have created without supporting the illusion.

The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary R. Renard

That quote just grabbed me this past week. As quantum physics teaches us, all we see around us is created from our thought forms and beliefs and does not exist outside of our minds. I don’t know about you, but that takes a huge weight off of the struggle we all engage in constantly. As my husband Mark is fond of saying, “I choose to be observing the chess game rather than be one of the pieces being played.”

To apply this practically to your life, where in your life can you identify a game you are caught in. You can decide to change the thought and emotional patterns that imprisons you and shift to a more pleasing illusion.

This is a very powerful week! Time to bring the light into the darkness and focus on your inner truth. Breathe into your heart and know who you are.

“Our enemy is our gift, there to test our grip, our will and our handling of the sword. He was placed in our lives, and we in his, with a purpose. And that purpose has to be met. So to flee from the battle is the worst thing that can happen. It is worse than losing the fight, because we can always learn something from defeat; if we flee, all we do is declare that our enemy has won.”

“The Pilgrim” by Paulo Coelho

For me it is easier to think of my enemy as my lesson. Whether it is a situation or a person that angers me and frightens me, I know I created it to push me into myself. If I run, I will only recreate my enemy in another form, to challenge me to grow.

Find an enemy in your life today. Feel the one thing that arouses your anger and your fear. Then, begin to take a step into the conflict instead of away from it. Do some inner investigation and identify the fear connected with this enemy and then face it.

“Tonight we celebrate what is, Rose. Look always to the present so what exists can catch up to you,” Javier offered.

From “The Wounded Heart” by Nancy Joy Hefron

I have discovered that when I am always operating out ahead of myself, I end up running in circles. While we are busy multi-tasking and already living our next step before we have even fully grasped where we are, we create contradictions and blocks. Many native cultures create a space sometimes called a vision quest where they stop seeking the answers and pushing the river and simply become still for three days (72 hours) and wait for the resolution to unfold. It is already being created but if you run too fast ahead of yourself, you often miss the outcome entirely and circle back again where you started, only more frustrated.

As your week unfolds, allow something you have been pushing for or concerned about to present itself and then just stop your busy mind and breath into your heart creating a place of stillness. Whether for 72 seconds, minutes or hours, watch the resolution unfold. It often does. There truly is no way to push a river but it can carry you quite far if you just lay back and float.

“It’s all about balance”

We’ve all heard this one. Just like two children on a see/saw at the park. They must shift around and struggle to obtain the perfect state of balance and then they can, for a moment, just hang there in the air…until one of them moves again.

While, I do believe in the universal principle of balance, I have also come to understand that rather than continually struggling to keep something in balance, I can integrate them instead and the struggle ends. We live in a world of opposites and duality…right/wrong…negative/positive and so forth. When I am teeter tottering between two ideas, choices, or behaviors and cannot come into a comfortable balance, the best thing to do is to consciously choose to integrate the two. Bring both together in your heart and create a new reality based on both the conflicting forces.

After all, if we were always in a state of perfect balance, life would be very still and boring. Today look at a place in your life where you are out of balance and bring both ends of your extremes together in your heart. Sit with this until your heart helps you create new, integrated way of being. The neat part is, once you truly integrate two conflicting truths, they will no longer be able to throw you off balance.

“But…they’re not real,” Jo said uncertainly.

“Of course they are. People make them up. They make them up because they are really there.”

From the novel “Merlin’s Mound” by Nigel Bryant.

I have always felt that imagination is often times very real. After all, I have wondered, where do these images and stories we create come from? Years ago, when I was teaching people to channel and see spirit guides and angels, I would instruct them to just make them up and then, sure enough, they began to feel an emotional response to their creations and wisdom began to flow. I taught people to understand their innate psychic abilities by first encouraging them to use their imaginations.

Have some fun with this one. Ask a friend or small group of friends to all write down the address of someone they know and you do not. Then just close your eyes and start creating a story about this address and the people who live there. Often times you will be surprised to hear the parts of your imagined scene actually will have meaning and recognition, perhaps even a message, for the person who gave you the address.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you do with them is up to you.

Richard Bach from “Illusions”

It seems to me that this is a place of true power rather than the disaster journey into victim hood we have often falsely conditioned ourselves to believe. When we own our creations and choose to change how we respond to them, we will begin to create more pleasing realities.

Today I chose to take one situation I am not delighted to be experiencing and change my feelings about it. How? Just cross your hand over you heart and breath deeply until you feel love and heat begin to expand from that space. Breath in the experience you don’t like and feel gratitude for its journey. Keep breathing until you feel it shift.

Below is a story from a Reflections reader about her journey into a shift a few weeks back. Enjoy her healing steps and consider sharing your own.

Personal Story:

For many years I have observed destructive patterns of my very dear
friend, patterns of procrastination, avoidance and denial. I offered
many times to help her step into and work through the lessons, but she
just wasn't ready to go there. And I ultimately always ended up rescuing
and enabling, and telling myself that I was being a good and loyal
friend.

In today's high frequency we all know that our lessons are coming up
fast and furious, one after the other, for clearing and healing.
Avoidance only makes them intensify. And a situation developed this
summer involving my friend, our beloved animals, and myself. At the
very first sign (anger!!) that this situation was not healthy, I
communicated my feelings to her and told her what my boundaries were.
For four months she avoided dealing with the situation and I felt that I
had no choice but to keep "filling in the gap" for her. I was injured
physically, and harmed financially and emotionally, but still continued
to enable and to harbor anger. (I did also continue to express my
feelings to her.)

I watched the animal suffer with pain and social withdrawal; I watched
the other animals turn aggressive and angry, and knew that they were
acting out and reflecting their owners! Finally I was able to define my
own behavior and owned the fact that I was afraid of losing love, afraid
of losing my dear friend, afraid of being labeled selfish and uncaring,
and angry at being betrayed by a friend. But my actions, or lack
thereof, were inflicting the same betrayal to my soul and inner little
girl.

Yesterday I honored the vow I took eons ago to cherish my soul, to
connect to the Christ consciousness grid and to be who I truly am. I
"evicted" the situation from my daily life and ended my enabling
behavior of this friend. I asked for her to come over to talk this
through, which she agreed to do. But, alas, she did not show up and she
did not call me.

I am allowing my pain to come up. And I am also allowing the good
feelings to come up...the honor and strength my soul has carried and
made available as fuel for all transformations. I thank my dear friend,
I thank the animals that acted out our roles, and I thank God for this
step forward towards Oneness.

At the end of Reflections, I have copied a short article I was guided to share about an energy field opening on our planet Tuesday, October 17.

“Why are you afraid? Because he’s different? Don’t you see that’s our only hope, that he is different enough to see things differently?"

The Return of Merlin by Deepak Chopra

This speaks to me of the value of living, responding and thinking out of the box at times. Often those around us see this as threatening which only means that they are afraid and blaming you for their fear. Or, perhaps, you are the one seeing someone else’s differences as threatening to you.

Today I chose to see things differently. Can you find a place where you feel boxed in and trapped? Respond to this in a new way. Perhaps even by doing the opposite of what feels right for you but has kept you stuck. Try it and see where it takes you. This good be really fun.

“Heart Reflections” is a weekly form of sharing I have been guided to initiate, a kind of thought to ponder to start your week. It will be sent most Monday mornings. Please allow it to move your feelings and spur your thoughts. Feel free to pass it on. All comments and responses are most welcome. To sign up for Heartlights Updates, click on the web site below.

COSMIC TRIGGER EVENT on 17th of OCTOBER, 2006

A cosmic trigger event is occuring on the 17th of October 2006. This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will remain approximately within this UV beam for 17 hours of your time.

This beam resonates with the heart chakra, it is radiant flourescent in nature, blue/magenta in colour. Although it resonates in this frequency band, it is above the colour frequency spectrum of your universe-1 which you, Earth articulate in. However due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands it will have an effect.

The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensley one million-fold. Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one millions time and more. Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength.

What does this mean? Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would. For those that do not comprehend. Your thoughts, what you focus on create your reality.

This UV beam thus can be a dangerous tool. For if you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be.

Mission-1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame. To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle.

All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitiude be focused on. This UV beam comes into full affect for 17hrs on the 17th of October 2006. No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17am on the 17th of October to 1:17am on the 18th October. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10pm) on the 17th October.

You do need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 pm). Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves.

Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive thoughts of loving nature. We call this UV beam trigger event, "818" gateway.

Please forward this message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger event to focus positive, good willed thoughts. We require approximately 1-million people across globe to actively participate in this event. Please use whatever communication mediums you have at your disposal. Reach out to as many people as possible. We require 1-million plus people at the least to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to one of unification and oneness.

This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours i.e. Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind. This is a gift, a life line from your universe so to speak, an answer to your prayers. What you do with it and whether or not you choose to participate is your choice.

One of many cosmic triggers is occurring on Oct 17th, 2006. These events rarely occured in the past but as humanity approaches 2012, the frequency of the triggers will be on the increase. What is unique about the cosmic wave occurring on Oct 17th is that it is a magnifier and accelerator fo thought to matter. Thought to Reality. You have an opportunity hear to make a change to love and peace if you choose to do so.

In every process of growth and expansion, energy is assimilated and released. That which can not be released is termed un-resolved and has to be stored until further in your time where the energy can be resolved and released. As above so below, unresolved energy is stored / accumilates in the body as waste matter or as dark dense matter. The longer it is stored the more energy is required to release it.

Your physical in one sense is stored unresolved matter, so as is your earth, solar system, galaxy and essentially your universe. Unresolved matter accumilates and becomes toxic, physically, mentally, emotionally as in your body so to your Earth.

You came here to learn the art of transmutation and articulation. Your Earth is stretching and re-aligning herself in days to come in your time. So as is your solar system and universe. The cogs and keys are all beginning to line-up as you make the transition from separation into oneness.

Since the fall of your Mu or as some call Meru that which you know as Mars to the Jehovan war lords 1.8 million years ago in your counting, and again the fall of Lemuria to the Jehovan strong hold Atlantis 500,000 years ago, humanity has been governed by false perception and a frequency of fear. As you approach the frequency of love of peace and oneness, have you not noticed how the fear machine ramps up, revs-up with another fear, another distraction.

This continual projection of the fear of life, of love, of articulation, of creativity through various mediums has turned humanity into a ready made sweat shop. Your religions ignore to tell you that your intent of thought is what creates your holographic reality. To change your reality your must first change where and what you focus your thoughts on.

Again we re-iterate that the cosmic wave occurring on your October 17th, be used wisely to assist you and Earth make the shift, the transition a harmonious one, with less suffering and more peace.

The choice is yours. The wave is going to occur whether you know it or not or whether you choose to believe it or not. Which ever you choose to do, let it be known that all thought and intent will be magnified a million-fold as explained in previous post.

The frequency of love is far more efficient than the frequency of fear or hate. Thus it takes less energy and effort to perpetuate love and peace intent than it would to perpetuate fear and hatred intent.

It is important that if you choose to participate in this event of October 17th, that you begin preparation beforehand, practice focusing your thoughts, your hearts your intent for this day.

Imagine at least 1- million people laser like focused on love and peace intent and good will on the October-17th, 2006. Use whatever medium comfortably available to you to spread this message.

Many laugh or ridicule the above notion. Some have even accused that Mission 1017 is some kind of ground work laid for some money making scheme. No where does Mission 1017 ask for any donations, nor are we peddling any books, videos or merchandise of the sort and nor will M1017 ever do so. Any one peddling such merchandise is not related to nor supported by Mission1017 and we suggest you buy nothing of the sort from them.

Very soon in your time there will be scientific break-through which will reveal/find this cosmic wave. In any case the choice is always freely yours.

Mission 1017 is a gift. Whether you choose to open it and use it is your choice.

Change is the rich blessing life offers us. It knows not the old and familiar but only the offering of the now. It richly blesses those whose courage answers its call. Change invites us to allow vulnerability and risk to be our playmates as our souls delight in the Dance of Life.

Taken from the poem “Change” by Carol Canova

It seems we all want to be settled. Yet, the minute we perceive we are, we begin to feel boxed in our caged. Safe? Perhaps. But at what cost? When we stop fearing change and understand that it too, offers us the opportunity to create new and expanded dreams, we will continue to unfold and sing our song. Imagine a world where the flower never bloomed because it feared the storm or the bird never sang for fear someone would hear its song.

Find one place that is calling you to change and take a step into that change before the sun sets on this day.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling is true.

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal not to betray your own soul.

From “The Invitation:

By Oriah Mountain Astrologer

This is a tough one! I would have to say; sometimes I can disappoint another (one whose love is important to me) to be true to myself. I am learning what it means to be true to my own soul. I can’t always do it but, only a decade ago, I didn’t even realize I was betraying my soul. This is progress.

This week find one situation in your life where you are running over yourself to be loved. Then, don’t stop there. Pick up the phone, write a letter or have lunch with this person and compassionately embrace yourself. It will feel so good. Write me and share your experience. I will post some in next week’s Reflections. We can shift as we support one another on our journey back into ourselves.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!! Please click on my Email address above and send a reply. I have had lots of trouble with my list and receiving your responses. I am hoping this is fixed but would appreciate one second of your time to test my new system. Click now. Thank you so much.

We are taught by society that imagination isn’t real but actually, it is. If you practice being fictional you will soon learn that in some ways you become more authentic.

From “The Wounded Heart”

By Nancy Joy Hefron, 2006

Exercise: Sometime this week, imagine how you would most like to react or respond to a situation you are presently experiencing and then…act that way…no excuses. Just do it.

We are taught by society that imagination isn’t real but actually, it is. If you practice being fictional you will soon learn that in some ways you actually become more authentic.

A fool once stumbled upon the truth, but getting up and dusting himself off, continued on as though nothing ever happened.”

Author Unknown

In memory and memorial of all those touched by the 9/11 tragedy five years ago today (that would be ALL of us!)... No matter what beliefs or truth you hold about that event, taking responsibility for creating all you experience has to put some responsibility on you. I once knew a Master who told me, “Nancy Joy, if you are standing in garbage, pick it up, it is yours.” I have never forgotten those words and they seem to apply today as we remember. We can uncover all the plots and probabilities but to me, the truth is, if I experienced this and it is in my reality, I also have the ability to respond by shifting my own consciousness and creating a better experience.

Thoughts to ponder this Monday morning.

Blessing on your journey.
