This is a copy of one of the latest class transcripts from our DK Group where many of us participate in whatever means possible to learn and help each other grow in our spiritual lessons. DK is a kind and delightful energy, channeled through Rev Terri Newlon and I've been aare of the work of the group for quite some time now with incredibly healing and positive results. Knowing that many in this world have been challenged through this year of 2006 I thought it good to post this here for those of you who might benefit from even just a snippet of what's offered in healing transmissions and guidance. I tend not to post these to the blog for they are quite lengthy and I often hear people think blogs should be short and to the point.
Should there be sufficient interest though I will begin posting these transcripts - new ones are available regularly - for any to enjoy. I will however state that this is done only in support of Terri's and Djwhal Khul's important work with lightworkers around the world and in no way is my own work. I have been invited though to share them and this blog is the best, most auspiscious place to do just that.
I'd like to add; In life we all have many teachers, I too have been blessed by the guidance and insight of people and spirit and Terri and DK are two that I highly respect. Know though that no one teacher or idea is infallible and therefore take what resonates with you and leave the rest for surely it is there for another searcher like yourself with a different favourite flavour of the truth! I do hope you enjoy the ride!

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi delek.
All right! Mercury is direct as of last night, however, it takes a while for all of the energies to finish filtering through, so I would give it another three days or so before all of the communications really clear up. The good news is that if you celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday that by the time all of the family is gathered and the travels have taken place and what not that the communications should be much more direct and much clearer.
All right, for 2006, we had a very strenuous year for light workers. As you know, probably, those of you who are seasoned at this and have been working in self-improvement for a number of years, etc., that usually there are at least three waves through any learning process. The first of which is the light workers, usually just a handful of the trail-blazers sort of go through a challenge of some sort and they work out the major traumas and what not that are associated with it.
Then the second wave comes and that is pretty much the group of world servers at large with a stable support team of those that have already been through it to support the rest of the group. And then as the group of light workers sort of comes out of that wave and work through the lessons and is stable, then there is a bit of a respite, not much. There is a respite between each wave where light workers sort of regain their composure. They have a little time to recover, a little lull or down time quite naturally because the body and all of the other components of the consciousness just need to relax a little bit. Then we get into the third wave, which is humanity at large.
Now sometimes the waves are extended. It might hit a certain sector of humanity first and then the bulk of humanity and what not, but the third wave in general, which has sub-waves within it, has the effect upon humanity. The good news is that usually it does not hit humanity quite so much with impact because the bulk of the lessons learned by those walking the path of consciousness.
Now that being said, be careful about signing up for the front line in this type of work. It takes a very sturdy, very aware (type of being). In other words the aspect of denial needs to be minimal in the consciousness, very aware, very in tune. Someone who studies the waves and who understands, “Oh, this is the next wave. This is the next process.” And it connects, because it is the thread or the connector because it connects to the previous wave or, “This is the continuance of the same pattern that I saw 12 years ago.” Or, “This is that eclipse coming back around and the focus is going to be on a certain element because it is in this Chinese year” and what not.
So there are ways to map and read. I would combine a number of things, a number of tools, because all of the tools together, when you can see how they all work together. In other words, astrology is one puzzle piece, numerology is another puzzle piece, your personal ray composition would be another puzzle piece, the biorhythm, personal and planetary would be another piece of the puzzle. And then we have all these other studies, Kaballah and what not as we look to that greater weave, it will unfold the complete map of creation.
For those that are still focused upon, “Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where do I fit into the overall plan?” Well, I say, study. Get in touch with your positioning of Pluto in your natal chart, learn as much in depth about that as you possibly can because it will reveal in part why you are here. Study your ray readings whether you get them through this channel, or internally, or just by looking round and saying, “You know I seem to always paint the walls yellow. I need a yellow kitchen; I need a yellow bathroom. I need yellow around places where there is water.”
In Feng Shui, your ray chart, your Chinese year, maybe do a little tarot reading for yourself periodically or use the I Ching periodically, all of these tools are there. Runes work, but also paying attention to the dreams and listen to the subconscious and the personality and the soul, the monad, or aspects that you might refer to as higher self or inner self. So, it is about awakening and sort of detective work, if you will. Study the clues because all of the clues show you exactly the map of creation.
Now transcending the challenges of 2006. One of the key elements there besides being very aware and awake and paying attention. Now this includes the outer world, because it reflects back within. And that means a healthy cross section of the outer world, not just one viewing point, for example if you were to listen to only Al Jazeera or listen only to CNN or only to ABC or BBC or what not so you are getting one viewpoint. So that means really a cross section and paying attention not so much to what the media might determine, but rather what people are saying. It is about the relationship.
The Age of Aquarius is about relationship. It is about communication and keeping communications open and healthy at all times. So if you shut out communications you are not in that flow of creation. You have sort of isolated yourself as sort of a tree stump and the water flows around you or a rock that does not tumble with the water. You want to be flowing with creation and aware and awake and at the same time not drowning with the information, not getting distressed or emotionally involved in the information.
We are back to one of my Mastery exercises which is, you might see that tall post or maybe you are a bird with wings or an angel, and somehow you can perch up high in the sky and just look at what is going on. Be an observer, neutral, a masterful observer, and study the play beneath you without getting caught in the drama.
Now, light workers are here to do this exactly. Go up, look, say, “Gee that is an old co-dependent pattern playing out.” It plays out even in politics if you say you want to build bombs and we say you shouldn’t, it is a parental control pattern. So how do we break that within? How do we go to the inner parent and say, “All right, children should be allowed to explore in a safe way.” Or, “Children should be allowed to explore and if they don’t do it in a safe way they suffer the consequences, and yes, it is painful, but that is what happens.” So there is sort of an internal connection.
It always comes back to the self. This entire reality as you view it is only the journey of the self. Always been about the self, and it will always be about the self. Self-improvement is your cornerstone. When you look back at 2006, it is about reflecting consciously on what areas of self-improvement arose and again the effects of Pluto and Saturn. If you need help from an astrologer, find someone that can read your chart without the drama, trauma parts, but just looking at it as light worker in world service, what are your tendencies, what are your strengths?
The other thing that is extremely important, I have been talking about it through most of 2006, can’t stress it enough, is that you focus on the positive. In other words, that you focus on your strength, look toward the strength of others. Do not dwell on weaknesses, do not dwell on the down side, do not dwell on the worst thing that could happen. Put your energy still, even now, only on the positive.
You might say, for example, “Well, I’m highly creative, have psychic tendencies and I seem to spontaneously give people advice that they say is helpful to them. So those are my strengths. However, I am sick a lot and I don’t have a very strong bank account. Every time I read for someone I get exhausted and so I won’t serve.” That is letting the undercurrent or letting the weaknesses have all the power rather than focusing on the strengths. If you go back to, “I am dedicated to serving the Light, absolutely unshakable. I enjoy that people feed back to me that the advice is helpful and I am certainly able to tune in. I am sensitive. So given those strengths, how can I stay in service? How can I protect myself from getting drained? How can I shore up my health? How can I begin to build in such a way that I have a lovely structure? How can I start, let’s say, a nice strong pyramid base and build up a healthy structure there so that I can in turn serve in this time period?”
So, look to the strengths, especially when looking at others. Now this could even be a political figure. It could be the war in Iraq. Unfortunately there are genocides going on in several places on the planet and it could be any one of those. It could be hungry children. Any aspect that you want to tune in, this is the time to say, “What is the positive outcome? What is the good that will come out of this? What strengths are being administered in here?” Maybe it is, “Well, people are promoting the conscious or people are gathering to make changes or it is inspiring others to maybe make sustainable resources or stop polluting the planet or what not”. Start focusing on the positive because what happens then to the laws of attraction is that all of humanity begins to focus on the positive.
Remember, you are the lead group. You have got some front line. Sorry to connect that to a war term, but trailblazers, if you will. You are the ones in the jungle with the machete doing all the work to clear a path and then the group behind you comes through with their machetes and they clear a much wider path and then humanity just saunters through often. And that is the way it is designed to occur. Do not be resentful that you worked so hard cutting away the jungle to make room for others.
Really I don’t want anyone to misconstrue my stories to believe that it is all right to cut down jungles. It is just a story. The truth of it is that you are cutting through cords of consciousness. You are cutting through old beliefs, cutting away belief systems to make way for the Divine. That is literally it, recognizing, “Ooh, that is one unhealthy pattern and I am not going to partake in it any more”, and you sort of snip it off and say, “I refuse to play.” And then you realize that, “Ooh, that little statement that just came out of my mouth is based on old programming about prejudiced behavior or something and I don’t want to speak that way anymore, and I don’t want to think or speak that way anymore. And I certainly don’t want to act that way anymore,” so (sound of exhale), out it goes. You are the self-improvement crew that is working because you are aware and conscious and can spot these things to clear it.
Now in 2006 that transcending process was all about the awareness of where does Pluto impact you. Again, read up. There are books upon it; there are astrologers that can work with your chart in that way in specifically. If you want to get a reading about it through this channel, that is not her strength. It would be better if you want to work with one of my other channels that have a little bit more knowledge of the astrological components, that would be good, or again an astrologer that is not typed so much to the old way of reading but reads more esoterically, or shamanically. Either of those would be appropriate.
So Pluto and then Saturn. Now we did a thing on Saturn and you will find that on the transcripts on the web site and you can go and read about that. Basically, what you want to do with Saturn is make this your friend, your confidant, your legal advisor, your higher advisor, someone that warns you, like an investment advisor might say, “All right at this time of year, you can put this much money in this kind of an account or you are going to have to pay this much in taxes” or what not. So you look to Saturn for council, very, very valuable council coming in.
Rather than the way it has been programmed to think of Saturn as this harsh teacher and basically it is time to get clobbered. Once again, we want to not focus on the negative. What you focus on is what you will attract, so you focus on the strength, the positive only in relationship to Saturn. “Saturn, my dear friend, give me a heads up, what can I do to create consciously? What can I do here to continue to clear my path? What can I do? Help me. Show me in a dream.”
Now the dreams have been showing you. If your dreams have been heightened in the last week or so, especially since you were committed or about to commit to take this particular workshop, then good, I’m glad you noticed. I was working quite strongly with each of you showing you what was going to come up. So some dreams were childhood ones, some current ones and some future ones. You might remember just the childhood ones or just the ones later in life or just the ones that seem to be contemporary. I will keep working with you.
Again, with the influence of Mercury, let’s take a look here. This is Saturday, and we have got Sunday, Monday. Those are the strongest times. Tuesday a little bit as well, especially Monday night and Tuesday morning or Tuesday nap time. The other thing is that you felt that you needed mandatory naps for the last week or so, also mostly my influence and some of you have had health concerns as well, but that sleepiness is when the subconscious strongly needs to clear. And then you might go for a nap or just sit down and meditate or whatever you do.
It feels like everything is very busy. That is because psychically there is a lot of congestion around and again, a lot of light workers, front line and second line, are usually called at that time to go in and do some clearing work. So this first order of business on that, and this will help you to transcend in 2006 as well, is go into a dream state and ask that everything be cleared. You can view yourself literally in the flow of creation. It is like an umbilical cord coming straight from source and runs right through you. When you are in the umbilical cord you will feel the energy flowing from the crown all the way through the feet and on through eternity. You just feel it is in the stream and there is nothing to do and then what happens is everything that needs to shake loose - - it would be like putting say a potato that has a lot of dirt or earth around it and putting it in stream of water and watching the dirt flow off of it and watching it get purified there. That is exactly what happens.
So little images will flash up like that time on the playground when you got mad at someone who wouldn’t let you use the equipment, or that classroom, just that image of the classroom as a child. Maybe it is that walk home from school. Little memories, little snippets, usually they start with younger and then they go in sequential order because the subconscious tends to catalogue in sequential order or what it perceives as sequential order. It may not be in fact the years as you recall them, but the subconscious files are held in such a way that it will start with the oldest file and then work forward.
Now, let’s go into Pluto for a moment. The quickest way to look at Pluto influences is to ask yourself, “What is my worst fear?” And even just phrasing the question, “What is my worst fear?” may provoke a sensation somewhere in the body. It might be in the gut, or suddenly your knee aches or your hip bothers you, your shoulder is annoying and your neck is stiff, your head hurts, your eyes go bleary. “What is my worst fear?” Ask it and then sit for a moment and notice what happens and then ask it again. Now I mention different parts of the body so you may get a rotation going on because the natural thing for consciousness to do is to explore. “Well, do I have something here or not?” And so the basic question that will guide you to Pluto is, “What is my worst fear?”
Keep in mind that you may have a worst fear. Like as a child it might be the darkness and then you grow out of that and you have another worst fear like getting injured or whatever. Then you have another worst fear like not passing an exam or something. So you go through a sequence of worst fears. So we are looking for the current what is my worst fear. Again, look at where is Pluto in my chart now or where has it been this year and where has it been in the birth chart.
Sometimes you don’t know your exact birth time. Usually you can figure it out by looking a little bit throughout that day and you will find a chart that actually resonates with you. If you are not sure of your exact birth time that is something that I can get through this channel in a private session if you know the day and the approximate time. If your mother thinks that it was just around dinnertime or sometime in the middle of the night, I can zero in through the soul and this is what the soul considers birth time. That will give you a good chart to work from. Whenever possible, of course, find the records and go with that.
Pluto influence will reveal generally that maybe your fears are around doctors or authority figures or around surgery or they are around money or they are around people not loving you, or around your not loving yourself. You will get the general theme of what that corresponds to. Then, we look at Saturn, and as a friend, the dear trusted advisor, someone that gives you the head’s up, and we say, “Saturn, well Pluto too, I adore you and I am so glad that I have your influence. How lucky am I to live in this solar system and be able to relate with you. I am seeking your advice on how to easily move to the other side of the current fear. Can I move through it, can I walk around it, burrow under, jump over, hurdle it? Sometimes it is move through it, but again, the most delicate way possible is what you want to do when you are on that path and especially this last year. I know not everyone commanded that delicate side of it, but I did hear a lot of invocations for grace and ease and most of you did get a lot of grace and ease and you are still getting a lot of grace to get through.
You can always invoke a state of grace for your life in general and you can choose the path of ease. Programs in the subconscious that say, “Only the worthy do it the hard way”, purge those. Those are not necessary. You know there still are the patterns that say, “The toughest soldiers are the most elite.” Or, “The families that go through the most trauma are the best” or whatever. It is an erroneous program. It is a comparison project and comparison will always get you in trouble. Rating, this one is more worthy, or I am more worthy or they are less worthy or vice versa. It sets up a competition that is not about Oneness. Competition and comparison are about separation.
Now 2006 was, in general, a lesson about Oneness, especially see that politically. It is calling for people to bond as one and co-create something different. Now even in family units and this is still sort of filtering down through family units, to bond together as one and create something different. Now it might be one side of the family bonding together to propose a change like, “Let’s let brother Al back into the family”. Or, “This particular family member is always causing pain, let’s get rid of the family member. Let’s just ask them to go to their own family, whoever that might be, people with whom they resonate more.” So there are changes, big changes going on. Now if you are in fear about your family kicking you out or being ousted or something, that is a good one to address right now since I sort of flushed it out into the open.
Acceptance, you know, if you resist creation, if you kick against the stream, it is a valid exercise, but it takes a lot of energy and it wears one down and sometimes causes a lot of repair in between lifetimes or through the whole next lifetime. The type of person that is often born into a family where self-esteem will not be promoted and they have to learn it later through a lot of therapy and what not.
The time now is to surrender to the flow of creation and accept what is. So within self, I accept my strengths and weaknesses, I accept my world the way it is, I accept my family, my friends, the balance in my checkbook, the state of the housekeeping or whatever it is. I accept it just the way it is. Co-workers and their quirks and what not, I accept everyone and everything just the way it is. It takes all the charge out of resisting creation. It puts you automatically in that flow of that energy that is quite divine.
Now I am bringing in a beautiful golden white color, just bathing you in a beautiful golden color. It is the Cosmic Christed energy. The tendency of consciousness is just to sponge this in, soaks it up and sponges it in. It says, “Oh, yes! That feels good! I remember this vibration. The Cosmic Christed or universal Christed energy is a very strong healing. Rather unusual color in the healing spectrum. You see a lot of other colors used for healing, but you rarely see that beautiful golden color, for example, inside an auric field. So we want to bring this into your aura to help transcend any unfinished challenge of 2006 at a very personal level. Any challenges you have left, we are very gently bringing in that Christed energy. Soak it up, literally see the bones turning gold and the marrow turning gold and every little blood cell turning gold, every hair on the body, gold, the skin, gold. Light coming from the eyes, gold. Energy emanating from the toenails a gold color. Just going through the body and really invoking as much gold color as you possibly can….
All right now, what we are going to do is to invite Pluto, almost like it is a baby, like a precious babe, something we can rock in our arms and cradle and just absolutely enjoy. We are looking for this very loving, nurturing relationship with Pluto, rocking Pluto like a baby and really enjoying the presence of Pluto. And the request is, “Gently please, show me any unfinished business.”
Again, rocking Pluto like a baby. You can see that as a symbol or you can see the planet or just the word Pluto on a baby blanket as you are holding it and rocking it. “Gently please, show me any unfinished business.”
It might have shown you a couple of physical areas that need attention. It might have given you a picture. It might be no awareness yet but it will come, so trust that it will come. Those of you that have been practicing voice channeling or automatic writing might get more information on this later.
I would say first go to the body because we have really been practicing that, “If you can’t feel it, you can’t heal it.” So you want to be able to feel in the body. You want to be in touch with the body as an instrument. It is housing all aspects of creation. It is housing, of course the physical body, but the emotional, mental, spiritual, all levels of consciousness are integrated into the physical body. Very important to feel it so you can heal it no matter what level it is on. Don’t think of the physical body as this thing that you discard periodically that doesn’t really matter and spirit is what really matters.
The physical body matters the most and especially so in the Aquarian age. What we have done is reached the flip point. I like to see the egg timer flipped up side down. So rather than energies coming from the spiritual down to the physical, they are coming from the physical upward, so that is the Ascension dynamic, from the physical upward. So your starting point is always with the physical.
Again, Pluto, study certain segments, certain generations are born with Pluto in a certain sign and then a whole stretch of you will be in that sign around the same age group. And then it will be in whatever house, and then look in your birth chart and study which house it is in and study a little bit about that. You can find enough information I think to give you some good clues even if you are a novice in astrology.
Then you look exactly straight across the chart and see what is over there, exactly the opposite side. If you drew a straight line like you were cutting a pie in half, from Pluto to the other side of the chart, what is there or near there, what is in that house because what is there usually catapults over to the other side of the chart or can be the undercurrent of that energy or it can be the way out. The passage, it will reveal your passage. So take a look there, and it might be nothing. That is a really fun one. That is a really fun one to be with because you get to conjure up what it is going to be.
Now, let’s thank Pluto and place Pluto in its heavenly and its revered spot. Yes, it is really a planet and I don’t care what the astronomers call it. We love Pluto. It is interesting that they are trying to take it to a sort of surreal status while it is presenting a lot of challenges for humanity. Isn’t that very interesting? Well, let’s see, if we don’t call it a real planet maybe it won’t have too much real effect upon us. Maybe we will sort of put it in the ethers instead of reality and see if that works. Well, it didn’t work.
Now let’s go with Saturn, our friend Saturn. This time we welcome Saturn as a grown up, kind of like a teacher or a mentor or advisor, a very good old friend, one of your dearest old friends. So we greet Saturn, full size, looking like someone of authority, might be wearing a robe or a nice suit or a beautiful dress or whatever, however you see Saturn. It does not need to be in a particular form. We greet Saturn coming to us sort of holding hands there, face to face, smiling. This is your dear friend. This is one the best helpers you could ever have.
Let’s invite Saturn to sit down and have a nice cup of tea and maybe offer a scone or some ladyfingers or juice or whatever you, crackers and cheese, have that you are going to offer to Saturn, some refreshments. And then an interesting thing happens there with the communion over tea, tea and crumpets, tea and food. You can tell that I did get some English influence along the way here. Let Saturn sort of scoot right in as close as possible, maybe knees to knees, forehead to forehead or maybe even a sense of completely merging and ask Saturn, “What is it that I need to learn next?” Or, “What is it that I am ready to learn next?”
“What is it that I am ready to learn next?”
All right, good! Let’s focus next upon that flow of creation, golden light flowing in through the crown, all the way through the feet in the umbilical cord of creation…. All right.
Now, let’s bring a different angle in here for transcending. This is one of my favorite exercises. I don’t believe I have ever given it to the group before. It is quite a lovely exercise. First of all, we view ourselves by a stream, a beautiful stream. It is not a river, it is a little stream, maybe at the most one-meter wide, or about three feet wide. Beautiful stream, green grass, animals, creations, trees, sky, sun, so we see a beautiful place in nature abundant with creation.
We pick an object out of the stream. We reach into the water and pick a rock or a piece of driftwood about the size of the hand, something small. Pick it up and assign this, like let’s say, for example that one of your traumas this year was a health challenge, so you assign that, whatever you went through, maybe it was a surgery, cancer, exhaustion, whatever it was, and you assign that object that challenge. So this rock, or whatever it is, now represents my health challenge in 2006. You can be specific about it if you want to.
And then it turns into a large bubble; it looks like a large soap bubble. You literally transform it from a dense object to a big bubble or globe. Literally you can feel sometimes in the palm of the hand the changes occurring as it turns into this bubble.
Then, at some point it sets free. It just lifts off of the hand heading up toward the heavens and it bursts. Good.
Take another one, a lot of financial challenges for the light workers. Now what does that tell you about what is going to happen in the next wave and what is going to happen to humanity? This is the time to conserve, to pool resources and conserve because a much larger wave is coming, and it is coming hard. So pay attention to what is going on. Ask Saturn for some advice and get ready for some lean times because they will be coming. Now, it may not for you personally, but be prepared. When there is a global wave it does effect everyone in some way. It is be prepared. Don’t put your head in the sand and try to pretend it is not going to happen to you and what not. Eyes, wide open, alert, pay attention to what is going on all around you and take precautions or whatever it is that you need to do.
So let’s take another rock out of the stream. I prefer the rock. That was always my favorite because it was heavy. Literally this was a physical exercise. I would sit by the side of the stream and sometimes stand on a large flat rock, hold a smaller rock in my hand and meditate upon it until it turned into a bubble and floated away. So it can be done in physical presence as well. You can also do it for the world, so you might want to start with a smaller rock or something as you are practicing. Again, let’s pull up that financial challenge or if you are choosing another one that is fine; literally ask that it be transcended, gone for good! Gone for good! It is changing into a bubble. Again you will feel energy moving around in your hand, you will feel creation altering even if you are just symbolically working with an object.
Now if you do this exercise out in nature, please do not take your own crystals with you or something and then take them back home or leave them in the stream. Literally use what is already there in nature in that spot. That is very important. You don’t take baggage with you or take baggage there and take baggage back home. That is very, very, very important.
The financial challenge is taking quite a bit longer as a group exercise. See that in a bubble flowing upward. See it float upward and at some point the bubble simply bursts.
All right now, let’s work with one more which I think is very potent for 2006 as I saw it manifesting everywhere, and that is Control. Control over finances, control over politics, control over one’s own destiny, control over what job next, where you are going to live next. There was a lot of lesson giving on not being in control and watching the struggle of others vying for control and what not. So the control issues for 2006 were quite strong and again the basic lesson in that is, “I surrender to the flow of creation” rather than, “ I try to control things.”
Let’s reach into the stream for another rock, put that in the hand, either hand. Generally I use the left for dissolving, but if that one gets tired, switch it to the right and you can use both hands if you prefer. Let that rock that represents control, let that begin to dissolve. Let it dissolve and it is transforming in the hand and it becomes a large, really beautiful bubble, iridescent on the outside, really very pretty, clear, and there is no more dense rock, just the bubble that naturally gravitates upward, heavenward and then bursts.
Let’s take another one similar to that which is Not Knowing, either Not Knowing or the Unknown, which ever way it makes more sense to your consciousness. Let’s pick that rock up out of the stream and again let it begin to transform. If we practice this enough, you will dissolve rocks into bubbles. Let that continue to go there.
Good, now let’s modify the exercise a little bit where we find the object inside the body. And this one, we want to go back to that core question, “What is my worst fear?” And where is it located in the body. Pull it, literally like you would reach into the stream and pull out a rock, reach into the body and pull it out. Now feel the weight of it in the hands, just let the flow of creation go through the body, that golden stream and that golden umbilical cord with this worst fear sitting in your hand. It will begin to transform. Transcending that challenge, that worst fear, the challenge, we are transcending it now.
Now we give no weight to these things. Let us focus next upon the positive. What are the strengths that you have? What are the gifts that you have? It does not matter whether you are giving them or not. What do you have as a gift? That is what we are looking for here. Looking for that beautiful gift and many, many, many of them. Focus on the positive. “I am here to serve.” “I am working on myself. I am clearing up consciousness by working on myself.” Realize if that is a true statement that you are in a very small minority. Less than 5% of humanity works upon themselves. So that, in and of itself, “I am a seeker” “I want to serve. I am attracted to spirituality.” That, alone, is unique, extremely unique on this planet.
What other gifts do you have? You are as aware as possible. You are listening to angels and higher guidance. You desire, maybe, world peace and you want to bring healing. You want to see education. What strengths do you have? Really focus in on that and amplify those energies now.
Then whatever you wrote down as your worst current fear, what is the exact opposite? Make a positive statement for whatever is the exact opposite. Now, a hint here, if, for example your worst fear is that people won’t like you or won’t love you. Rather than saying, “Everybody loves me”, the proper positive statement there would be,
“I deeply love myself, and therefore it matters not what others think or feel.” “I deeply love myself, and therefore it matters not what others think or feel.”
Others are irrelevant. It is always about the self. The journey has always been about the self and it will always be about the self. So it all comes back to inside, not out there. If it is a health concern, “I am in radiant optimal health.” If it was a concern about not doing what you think that it is, “I am serving my path.” “With every breath I am serving my path.” Find a positive way, something positive which you can focus on. We want to amplify that as much as possible.
One that I think is most common among light workers and among humanity at large is, “I feel worthy.” You can try that one and see if you like it or not. “I feel worthy.” Not I am, I FEEL worthy. It is a feeling. The strength of emotion is what magnetizes to you the creative process. “I feel healthy.” “I feel worthy.” “I feel abundant.” “I feel wealthy.” Whatever it is, try I feel and then your positive influence. Keep focusing on that. The more you say it the stronger it gets and the more the cellular response will accept the command and say, “Well, yes, I do feel that. Oh, my goodness, I really feel that.”
This is such a time to focus on the positive, focus on strength, ignore weakness, straight across the board. So if you are going to be with the relatives for the holidays and so and so is always whining, or what not and you do not admire that about them. Erase, erase, erase. Find the strength that person presents. Well, they always know what movies are good. They know where to get the best deal on winter boots. Find the strength. Zero in on at least one strength that you can hold as a focus rather than projecting the weakness. This is extremely important right now.
Good. All right, now, what we are going to do is go back to our stream and now we are going to tune in to humanity. Lots of other people gathered by that stream and a lot of bubbles in the air floating upward and transcending the challenges of 2006. There have been many of humanity, many light workers sort of in on the process with us. Now we are tuning in to their energies seeing all those bubbles floating up and clearing. Now in the body you may also feel bubbles floating up, kind of an effervescent feeling. Gas or gaseous energies is one of the ways of transforming. One of the ways that creation works, liquid to gas and ethers and what not. So allow bubbles of energy to come up and just leave the body.
Now I know where some of you got that one, and I think it is rather comical too. I am trying to stay in the channel because she is laughing. That is not the way I meant it, but the translation is interesting.
Effervescent energy, please, moving up through the body. For channels that are practicing, what we do is pause here and I drop down a little bit deeper into the chest. There we go. All right, so we want to see humanity at large transcend willingness to say, “Let’s put all of that behind us and focus on the positive and move forward from here.”
Along the way here, and this is another world server technique. Let’s see the fellow travelers, fellow travelers of the light and if you see them carrying a lot of bags, maybe they are tangled up and are dragging bags behind them, you can show up with your handy little pocket knife or your little scissors or your angelic sword and ask them, “Would you like for me to cut that away for you so you can be free?” And if they say, “Yes” go ahead and release the baggage. And then I like to inform them, “You can pick that back up if you want to and drag it onward with you, but just take a moment to feel what does it feel like not to drag it around.”
If they are a little bit tangled up in the strings and what not there you can just help them get untangled quickly before we go on to the next one and say, “Would you like for me to unhook you there just so you can feel?” Just the offer, nothing threatening and certainly nothing judgmental like “Oh you should get rid of the baggage.” Because what you are going to get back is resistance. So never use that term. Just say, “Hey, I happen to have this pair of scissors. It works great. Do you want me to try this for you? Would you like to experience this?” And if they say “yes” then you can go ahead.
Always remind them that, “You can pick that back up if you like. If you really prefer to pull that weight around, go right ahead, but you might just want to sing and dance and skip around for a while first.” Oftentimes they get so distracted in the joy that they forget all about that they were carrying the baggage. So this is a service we are doing here, and again, more bubbles floating up, more consciousness being transcended especially around Pluto and Saturn.
All right dear ones, we are actually going to continue to work for a few minutes, so please stay in your altered state for a little bit longer, in the silence, and enjoy feeling as things leave your body and going up. The work was quite deep, so come back slowly.
And, as always, thank you and my love to you.

Above all else the bubbles just made me do it! I loved the meditation myself and the stream I visited was one I'd made a video at earlier this year, when filming a lovely snapping turtle laying eggs at the side of a country roadway. The image of her stream was still vivid in my mind and made the exercise quite a pleasure for me!
The thought of transforming rocks to bubbles, and of transforming the ills of our world to bubbles so that they can float away to burst on the winds and be gone forever are a great comfort to me at the moment!
Namaste all!

Why the bubbles on this background you ask?
Well it was inspired by a transcript I'd read some time ago which included a meditation that led our group through a series of exercises in realms beyond this fair earth's surface. Through the lead of the meditational teaching we were taken to various levels in the etheric world, levels that we were instructed to become familiar with, so that we'll be able to recognize the sensation and find those levels again in the future, should we wish to explore further, and as a guidepost in our travels. There it was suggested we imagine filling these areas with bubbles of all shapes, sizes and colours.
The bubbles we filled the realms with don't pop and disappear but continually float through these ethers and were imagined to bump up against other bubbles from within our group. With practice perhaps the bubbles I have created can bump up to the bubbles of my friend in New Zealand and pass on a bubble hug to her, should she need or desire one! Perhaps a bubble could roll around and into another friend in Arizona and give her a sense of support in a time of need - or vice versa should I find the need. Then there are our friends in the middle east, in india, in virtually all corners of the earth and a wide variety of cultures can still touch one another and give comfort or support or encouragement or thanks!
I also considered the colours I'm using here, to suggest certain colour rays that have an influence on the human form and the spirit. Gold is a colour associated with healing energy, some call it "Christed Energy" but some aren't comforable with that term. For me I see and sense energizing forces in the colour and so it makes no difference what name it may go by - it reminds me of the life energy we and our world recieve from the sun and that suggests something vibrant and healthy and therefore it works for me! In addition, the paler bubbles backing the writing here on the blog page are to suggest another energy level; also a health giving and invigorating type of energy, aligned with the angelic world. With these in place there is much that can be accomplished and a connection is made with a higher level of human understanding.
Here in these realms is where work is done to assist us in feeling comfortable with traveling the etheric environs. Perhaps to meet with divine masters and teachers in a dream like world would be the analogy for some. (Perhaps Buddhist techniques are what most come to mind here.) In truth it is as real a world as the one on which we walk; it is simply a different dimension of existence that overlays our world.
I will work, over the next few weeks, on discovering some examples that might help give anyone who may be wondering, an idea of what I am describing. That seems to be the "latest" assignment for me; finding the examples and the clues that I can pass on. Just as I have been this summer, with the other messages from nature I have been attempting to display.
The rest is up to the reader to explore because this isn't something I have any personal lease on. It is a human ability, plain and simple, and soon we'll all learn how to apply it more effectively in our lives as a means to feel safer, more secure and far more satisfied with life. There's plenty more that can be achieved through practice and people in general will see it's vast usefulness with time.
Currently friends in Israel and Lebanon, another I've known in Iran, and others who are friends of these friends practice similar meditations that assist them in maintaining a balance in very stressful areas. It has been one of the most precious things I have learned this year; that the desire for a peaceful, loving and supportive environment is desired by most everyone on this planet and many of us are doing what we can in etheric terms to support those aims!
Wish us luck... and... enjoy the bubbles!

Three Star One or "Nek Hak Nol" - An Invocation
Thought I'd share something very special to me. And given the world's current situation it is timely.
I participate in a spiritually focused discussion forum with people from around the world and part of our work includes studying tthe works of "The Tibetan" also known as Djwhal Khul. In our conversations I asked for some information regarding something I had heard a bit about but knew very little called "Three Star One". The reason I was prompted to ask had to do with my attraction to a flower I'd photographed in my garden that had three stars in it's "design", when people shared with me transcripts which touched on the subject I was very moved and inspired. I had "known" there was something special about the photo and it seems this consciousness wanted to have itself be known to me. For no reason more than for me to be able to share my inspirations with others! The wording for this invocation is credited to Terri Newlon Holistic Consulting Co. LLC, and her website link for classes and transcripts is; (this page design doesn't show links well but what follows is a link!) Djwhal Khul.net
Do come check it out if you're curious!
The Invocation artwork that was developed came through the inspiration I experienced through the synergy of the flower and the intent behind the words;
Maybe it's a bit heady for some people, but it is an interesting sentiment just the same!

parts of conversations; people are discussing the middle east; opinions vary!
Some of these are copies of things written by others, mine is at the end...(And the whole thread with A LOT of interesting, provocative links Here, the "Call for Peace" Group at Flickr.) Some are things said in the discussion thread by others from very different backgrounds. While it isn't easy to speak freely with such a mix and everyone has a very different opinion, it is still good to discuss these things and learn where we might all have some common ground, on which to build a foundation for peace.; (I think it may be helpful for people to have an exposure to all the angles in these issues and remember the human aspect of current affairs around the globe...)
One expression came through like this, in exasperation, regarding other people's discussions in the same thread; So keep in mind it is a little out of context here from the original discussion thread....
"You are getting all upset and are trying to find a solution and all that is commendable but how about we think logically? The leaders we deal with all over the world are not pacifists. they want money and wealth and power and will do anything they can to get it. You cannot see the arab/moslem side of all this since you have not lived in it or have been effected by it since none of these countries mean anything to you. I am Iraqi and my country has essentially been ruined and I can never go back. You say its bin laden? may i ask what bin laden has to do with it since he didn't invade Iraq or kill thousands of people or turn people against each other. let me give you some proof. Did you know that in order to establish any party in Iraq it has to be politically driven towards a certain sect and you cannot open a sect for the benefit of ALL Iraqi people due to the fact that the US has forced the rule that no one can do that and if you try you get beaten up. Now how do i know this? first of all most of my living family lives there and i lost my cousin and many other family members to the brutality in Iraq lately and if they even tried to open a peaceful party they would get SHOT at if not killed. their dead bodies are the proof of this. Another thing is that most of my family were in the army and so they get their news from the people and they see it for themselves. the US has no right to take over Iraq and this whole democracy camoflauge is simply so stupid and silly that not even a child would believe it. democracy doesn't mean killing people just because they don't look too friendly. well if someone came and took over my house and raped my sister i would be pretty upset don't ya think?
About Palestine: please stop acting like talking will solve thousands of years of conflict coz i simply won't. i'm a realist to the bone and with all the atrocities i have seen over the years and have felt the bombing on top of my head and the fear that you see and feel for the rest of your life. stop being so naive about something we all know won't work peacefully. we want the land and so do the isrealis. both will fight to the end for it and this is what is happening.
****** Please before stating anythng which you thing is "HOGWASH" how about you ask what it is and then sit there judging something you don't know about.******
If you read the Quran and read the meaning of the verse God does not imply that he will give each man exactly 77 virgins. It was a number used in the old days when the number 77 was seen to be a big number, just as we use 100 or 1 million. its simply a symbolic number meaning a lot. Why its a virgin because its also symbolic for purity and innocence.
The next time you have a question regarding the Islamic religion i suggest you ask me instead of getting all upset and insulting my religion and over 5 million other peoples religion. I dont go around making fun of your beliefs or religion so please treat people equally and justly and you shall be treated likewise. you don't sound like you want to solve anything but it seems to me you're mad and want to take it out on some group of people without even trying to understand what it is.
I have lived with people of different races and religions. I might not necessarily agree with what they believe in but nevertheless i RESPECT it. i have my opnions as they have theirs. please understand that and don't act so close-minded. its a discussion and we are here to discuss not to insult. if you wanted to insult all you have to do is be a politian.
**about the suicide bombers did you ever try to think why they do this? i'd appreciate it if you sat there and thought what it meant to be a palestinian, to loose your land, your family and friends and have no weapons and still be treated like an animal. you would feel angry, betrayed, used and even more angry. now as we all know anger dispells from pain and suffering. when i'm in pain and i'm hurt and i cant do anythng it changes to anger. i'd be angry if i lost my land and my family and my friends. wouldn't you be? when i'm treated violently i react violently, natural human reaction. after all this killing and all this anger over thousands of years don't you think that each side will do anythng to keep their land? if my whole family was fighting for thousands of years for this land i would do the same too.
The lebanese story is similar to the palestinian story. they have been torn to pieces by the israelis for so long hey what is another 20 years if its already ruined. i visited lebanon not far back and i was shocked to see it. the buildings were old and torn down. you could still see the evidence of war everywhere. try and be a little more understanding to pain and suffering, they were exterminated several years ago by the isrealis. they're not about to forgive them now.
Just like the isrealis aren't going anywhere neither are the palestinians. each side thinks its ok to fight for their land. its their right. did you know that its legal in any part of isreal that if an israeli saw a house he liked and there were palestinians living in it that he could kick them out and live there? is that fair too? is that peace-loving too? do you think its fair for them to walk onto your land and take it form you just coz they said so? do you think its fair for them to walk ito your house, assault you, insult you and take away your house? i dont think so, not for a minute.
I would also like to give you another peice of information that might be useful to you. Islam is the arabic word for peace. If you read about our teachings and beliefs you will find its beauty in its pages. Don't stereotype Muslims as hate-loving, war-loving terrorists that just want to take over the area. just like we dont stereotype Americans as violent rapists and murderers. the people of a country are different from the leaders. correct me if i'm wrong. and more importantly this is our land and we will fight for it. just like if it were your land you would fight for it too with all that you got. we will keep on fighting till we get our land back, the land our forefathers lived on and they fought for it with their blood as we will with ours. if they want peace then we are all the better for it as long as its fair. we are all for peace. we are tired of war and fighting just like anyone else is. who wouldn't like to live within a white picket fence and feel safe in their own country? STOP THE STREOTYPES, STOP THE HATRED. "
Another viewpoint expressed;
" You have touched the tops of so many points,and much of this I agree with.
I really cannot defend any one side on this issue of Isreal/palestine. It seems that both sides are hell-bent on dragging the whole world into this.Hezzbollah is getting a lot of money and some missiles from Iran. Israel is getting a lot of money and fuel from USA.This is the way of things,and it sucks in the worst way.
It is in the best interest of the USA if Israel would ease up on its bombing campaign against Hezzbollah.Lebanon has been trying to free itself of Syria for awhile , now. This is only going to make that more difficult,if not impossible.
It has been said,and I am inclined to believe that this action of kidnapping by Hezzbollah of Israeli soldiers is under direction of Iran,which has been acting in a threatening manner for some time now. The fact that Iran gives Hezzbollah 10 million US dollars every year,coupled with the fact that many of the missiles falling in residential areas of Israel are Iranian,leads me to accept this as a possibility.
Do you refuse to accept that Bin Laden has stirred up a civil war in Iraq? This is a dirty thing to do,and is not done for the good of the Iraqi people,but rather,for Bin Ladens own good. Many people are dying,and the USA is getting blamed.This is Bin Ladens' idea. Step back and look at it. If the newly elected Iraqi government can be successful,then the USA will scale back operations,and eventually pull out.
Does anyone remember Nick Berg? An engineer who went to Iraq to help rebuild the infrastructure? He was beheaded alive while being recorded? This is not the act of a peaceloving people. This is a very brutal thing. This kind of thing only increases the hate factor. Hate is a very powerful motivator,and to do something to intensify the hate of the USA will not make things better for anyone.
Just as "Islam" ,in translation ,means love and peace,the swastica of the Nazis,originally had the same meaning.. The symbol or the translation doesnt mean anything. We are judged by our works. By what we do.It is what we do that defines us.
The jews and the Palestinians BOTH wandered this area for thousands of years,fighting and hating for the duration.Sometimes the palestinians were winners,and ruled,sometimes the Israelis were. The rules of war have changed over time,but thousands of years ago,or even hundreds,the spoils of war were yours to keep.I'm not saying this is right or wrong,but that is how it was done.
Remember Yassir Arafat? he was instrumental in brokering a peace plan that would have given Palestinians a real government,borders,and recognition as a state.That managed to get screwed up because of the will of a few.I saw this as hope for a future for Palestine,and really COULD have been a very good thing.
And in response to the STOP THE STEREOTYPES, STOP THE HATRED, I submit this.

Someone is TEACHING this young man,and the young men who comment here to hate. It appears that some would have us think that this is a rule for everyone but themselves. These young men apparently don't know the Arabic word for " Peace"
Maybe you could talk to them? "
and another voice, here;
"..The jews and the Palestinians BOTH wandered this area for thousands of years,fighting and hating for the duration. You have repeatedly made this assertion as some sort of justification of what is occurring now. The fact is that the Palestinians 1000 of years ago were completely different from today's people using that title. They were not Arabs or Muslims (Islam is not 1000s of years old.Mohammed was born in 570 CE and the revelation which was the start of Islam came to him in his 40th year - 610 CE, nearly 1500 years ago.) What is more, there were many many years where Muslims and Jews lived in peace together, notably under the Ottoman empire. Even in recent years in Israel there are Jews and Muslims co-existing. And today's Israelis are very different from the ancient Israelites (even the name differs).
And if you want proof of my statement "Unfortunately GWB and the Israel government have one thing in common - they believe that political problems can be solved by military means." see today's news. The Bush administration is stalling to allow Israel to mop up Hisbullah before actively working for a ceasefire. Meanwhile innocent civilians on both sides are being killed or maimed. (Other people's) lives are cheap for the US government."
Recommended reading for everybody on this thread and elsewhere who want to get a balanced view of how Jews and Arabs can live together and, beyond that, be friends.
City of Oranges - Arabs and Jews in Jaffa by Adam LeBor Bloomsbury Publishing, London, New York & Berlin. 2006. ISBN 0 7475 7366 2 or ISBN-13 9780747573661.
Not only is it a revelation of how people can live and work in a stressful situation - some of them in an occupied place - but it is a fascinating insight into aspects of the human condition and a good read into the bargain."
This wasn't posted to the thread in question, these were the thoughts that helped me find a response within my heart. (it follows in a little bit!)
Ah-h-h-h to think a book has been written about such things - Yay - there is hope. In Canada those who are Jew or Muslim share the same country and don't bomb one another, thank goodness. The country is shared with Catholics, Christians and many other groups including many who choose not to belong to an organized religion. The same is true of the US, of Great Brittain and other countries. While they, each country, has it's own problems to deal with, thankfully neighbours bombing neighbours is not a reality in our regular experience.
And then to the posting of a photo of a peace sign in the thread someone suggested, mistakenly was for churchill's "victory" V sign; I wrote simply;
True victory over oppression can only be had when all people of the world can live freely and safely - regardless of where they are from, regardless of their sex or preference, regardless of their political or religious affiliations! Regardless of history or herstory!
I choose Peace, I choose a level head, I choose a kind and compassionate heart! I choose to endeavor to maintain that stance in all I do! I choose to believe people will rise above their differences and seek instead their similarities and revel in them!
I am so sorry there is war in the middle east, and in my heart of hearts I work to heal my pain in knowing of the suffering of all the people (all sides) in this and other conflicts. It may be little, but; I love you middle east - as much as I love the ground below my feet at this very moment.
We all breathe the same air, we all sit under the same sun and moon, we share the stars. We share this world intimately, we cannot separate ourselves from that - can we not live in such a way as to celebrate these things and allow the human spirit to flourish everywhere? ;-)

**about the suicide bombers did you ever try to think why they do this? i'd appreciate it if you sat there and thought what it meant to be a palestinian, to loose your land, your family and friends and have no weapons and still be treated like an animal. you would feel angry, betrayed, used and even more angry. now as we all know anger dispells from pain and suffering. when i'm in pain and i'm hurt and i cant do anythng it changes to anger. i'd be angry if i lost my land and my family and my friends. wouldn't you be? when i'm treated violently i react violently, natural human reaction. after all this killing and all this anger over thousands of years don't you think that each side will do anythng to keep their land? if my whole family was fighting for thousands of years for this land i would do the same too.
The lebanese story is similar to the palestinian story. they have been torn to pieces by the israelis for so long hey what is another 20 years if its already ruined. i visited lebanon not far back and i was shocked to see it. the buildings were old and torn down. you could still see the evidence of war everywhere. try and be a little more understanding to pain and suffering, they were exterminated several years ago by the isrealis. they're not about to forgive them now.
Just like the isrealis aren't going anywhere neither are the palestinians. each side thinks its ok to fight for their land. its their right. did you know that its legal in any part of isreal that if an israeli saw a house he liked and there were palestinians living in it that he could kick them out and live there? is that fair too? is that peace-loving too? do you think its fair for them to walk onto your land and take it form you just coz they said so? do you think its fair for them to walk ito your house, assault you, insult you and take away your house? i dont think so, not for a minute.
I would also like to give you another peice of information that might be useful to you. Islam is the arabic word for peace. If you read about our teachings and beliefs you will find its beauty in its pages. Don't stereotype Muslims as hate-loving, war-loving terrorists that just want to take over the area. just like we dont stereotype Americans as violent rapists and murderers. the people of a country are different from the leaders. correct me if i'm wrong. and more importantly this is our land and we will fight for it. just like if it were your land you would fight for it too with all that you got. we will keep on fighting till we get our land back, the land our forefathers lived on and they fought for it with their blood as we will with ours. if they want peace then we are all the better for it as long as its fair. we are all for peace. we are tired of war and fighting just like anyone else is. who wouldn't like to live within a white picket fence and feel safe in their own country? STOP THE STREOTYPES, STOP THE HATRED. "
Another viewpoint expressed;
" You have touched the tops of so many points,and much of this I agree with.
I really cannot defend any one side on this issue of Isreal/palestine. It seems that both sides are hell-bent on dragging the whole world into this.Hezzbollah is getting a lot of money and some missiles from Iran. Israel is getting a lot of money and fuel from USA.This is the way of things,and it sucks in the worst way.
It is in the best interest of the USA if Israel would ease up on its bombing campaign against Hezzbollah.Lebanon has been trying to free itself of Syria for awhile , now. This is only going to make that more difficult,if not impossible.
It has been said,and I am inclined to believe that this action of kidnapping by Hezzbollah of Israeli soldiers is under direction of Iran,which has been acting in a threatening manner for some time now. The fact that Iran gives Hezzbollah 10 million US dollars every year,coupled with the fact that many of the missiles falling in residential areas of Israel are Iranian,leads me to accept this as a possibility.
Do you refuse to accept that Bin Laden has stirred up a civil war in Iraq? This is a dirty thing to do,and is not done for the good of the Iraqi people,but rather,for Bin Ladens own good. Many people are dying,and the USA is getting blamed.This is Bin Ladens' idea. Step back and look at it. If the newly elected Iraqi government can be successful,then the USA will scale back operations,and eventually pull out.
Does anyone remember Nick Berg? An engineer who went to Iraq to help rebuild the infrastructure? He was beheaded alive while being recorded? This is not the act of a peaceloving people. This is a very brutal thing. This kind of thing only increases the hate factor. Hate is a very powerful motivator,and to do something to intensify the hate of the USA will not make things better for anyone.
Just as "Islam" ,in translation ,means love and peace,the swastica of the Nazis,originally had the same meaning.. The symbol or the translation doesnt mean anything. We are judged by our works. By what we do.It is what we do that defines us.
The jews and the Palestinians BOTH wandered this area for thousands of years,fighting and hating for the duration.Sometimes the palestinians were winners,and ruled,sometimes the Israelis were. The rules of war have changed over time,but thousands of years ago,or even hundreds,the spoils of war were yours to keep.I'm not saying this is right or wrong,but that is how it was done.
Remember Yassir Arafat? he was instrumental in brokering a peace plan that would have given Palestinians a real government,borders,and recognition as a state.That managed to get screwed up because of the will of a few.I saw this as hope for a future for Palestine,and really COULD have been a very good thing.
And in response to the STOP THE STEREOTYPES, STOP THE HATRED, I submit this.

Someone is TEACHING this young man,and the young men who comment here to hate. It appears that some would have us think that this is a rule for everyone but themselves. These young men apparently don't know the Arabic word for " Peace"
Maybe you could talk to them? "
and another voice, here;
"..The jews and the Palestinians BOTH wandered this area for thousands of years,fighting and hating for the duration. You have repeatedly made this assertion as some sort of justification of what is occurring now. The fact is that the Palestinians 1000 of years ago were completely different from today's people using that title. They were not Arabs or Muslims (Islam is not 1000s of years old.Mohammed was born in 570 CE and the revelation which was the start of Islam came to him in his 40th year - 610 CE, nearly 1500 years ago.) What is more, there were many many years where Muslims and Jews lived in peace together, notably under the Ottoman empire. Even in recent years in Israel there are Jews and Muslims co-existing. And today's Israelis are very different from the ancient Israelites (even the name differs).
And if you want proof of my statement "Unfortunately GWB and the Israel government have one thing in common - they believe that political problems can be solved by military means." see today's news. The Bush administration is stalling to allow Israel to mop up Hisbullah before actively working for a ceasefire. Meanwhile innocent civilians on both sides are being killed or maimed. (Other people's) lives are cheap for the US government."
Recommended reading for everybody on this thread and elsewhere who want to get a balanced view of how Jews and Arabs can live together and, beyond that, be friends.
City of Oranges - Arabs and Jews in Jaffa by Adam LeBor Bloomsbury Publishing, London, New York & Berlin. 2006. ISBN 0 7475 7366 2 or ISBN-13 9780747573661.
Not only is it a revelation of how people can live and work in a stressful situation - some of them in an occupied place - but it is a fascinating insight into aspects of the human condition and a good read into the bargain."
This wasn't posted to the thread in question, these were the thoughts that helped me find a response within my heart. (it follows in a little bit!)
Ah-h-h-h to think a book has been written about such things - Yay - there is hope. In Canada those who are Jew or Muslim share the same country and don't bomb one another, thank goodness. The country is shared with Catholics, Christians and many other groups including many who choose not to belong to an organized religion. The same is true of the US, of Great Brittain and other countries. While they, each country, has it's own problems to deal with, thankfully neighbours bombing neighbours is not a reality in our regular experience.
And then to the posting of a photo of a peace sign in the thread someone suggested, mistakenly was for churchill's "victory" V sign; I wrote simply;
True victory over oppression can only be had when all people of the world can live freely and safely - regardless of where they are from, regardless of their sex or preference, regardless of their political or religious affiliations! Regardless of history or herstory!
I choose Peace, I choose a level head, I choose a kind and compassionate heart! I choose to endeavor to maintain that stance in all I do! I choose to believe people will rise above their differences and seek instead their similarities and revel in them!
I am so sorry there is war in the middle east, and in my heart of hearts I work to heal my pain in knowing of the suffering of all the people (all sides) in this and other conflicts. It may be little, but; I love you middle east - as much as I love the ground below my feet at this very moment.
We all breathe the same air, we all sit under the same sun and moon, we share the stars. We share this world intimately, we cannot separate ourselves from that - can we not live in such a way as to celebrate these things and allow the human spirit to flourish everywhere? ;-)
Slideshow testing... RockYou is a cool application!
What fun! Saw the slide shows others have done - DotCom's - WOW! Top Notch work!
and thought I'd give them a try for a special project I'm working on and MindSay may be the safest, most accessible place to put it for viewing. (not all my friends can access these types of features but I'm learning it depends on where they're loaded too!)
But, hey, here goes; Note I have a few more colours to add to this show so bear with me as I continue to develop it... In the meantime... this is a test.... this is only a test...a colourful one at that!
