PAGE VI: More musings of an Amer. Indian Woman/Celtic Crone. Continued from Page V.
*I suggest you read from the top of the page down, and the pages from last to first.
*A crone can be any age toward middle age recalling that in the days of the Ancient Druids, the average life span was only to about 45; therefore, she is merely a mature woman with wisdom and the powers of nature. Just thought I would clarify in case someone was visualizing me as a bent and wrinkled old woman with next to no hair and a very big cane. LOL )
* Red is for correction with proof reading. Violet is my Guide Waban. Black is just me... well, sometimes with the intuition of my Spirit Guide, Waban. In fact, I think most of the time. Sometimes I wonder where I am getting this information. I believe it, but most I have never tried to verbalize. So I think I get a lot more help than not. Thank you, Waban.
*Oh, Waban refers to me as Peachbird. It's an Indian named given to me long ago. It comes from the Chippewa Nation in Michigan. The Peachbird is the large Barn Owl. Waban says it is a name I have used in many incarnations.

My predictions
Tea Party
Pizza as Vegetable?
Occupy movements
Wall Street… or Capitol Buildings
Rick Perry
A Message from Waban
Jobs Jobs Jobs: It is no secret that jobs bring revenue, revenue is what we need to run the country, AND pay the National Debt!
Sometime ago I started predicting that young people across this country were going to come out into the streets like they did back in the 60s. I said they are a sleeping giant waiting to find a voice, and they have. There is merely a time when people are open to what is happening in the world by the very energy we pick up. And that is how I knew this was coming. The Tea Party was a first effort, but a failed one. It played right into the hands of politicians: cut taxes, get government out of our lives, and most of all get rid of Barack Obama. Well, Barack Obama is the only politician who is trying to fight those very politicians who are trying to pass the Tea Party goals from destroying our country in order to usher in a complete take over of the government by Big Business and the 1% of the very wealthiest of this country. Right now we have a dictatorship but in name only by Wall Street and the Fat Cat Big Business moguls out there running this country through their lobbyists and money.
Case in point: We have been trying to make school lunches healthier as a way to fight obesity in children. That is the best way to begin. We were advocating more fruit and vegetable in school lunches and less carbohydrates and starches. The bill was before congress. But, the Fat Cat food venders in the schools lobbied against that effort. And you know what? Big Business in the Food Vender Markets WON… not us, not our children, but frozen pizza companies and French fry companies. So how did this come about? Tomato sauce on Pizza is a now a vegetable and French fries are as well. Very frustrating, We, the People, for what it says about our children and their school lunches! So they are saying that we have to kowtow to the Lobbyists who are running this country through our elected officials.
Now, the occupy movements are growing in number and directions. This was not anticipated otherwise the police all over this country would not be the bad guys clearing the growing numbers out of public spaces. And the police are merely following orders; they do not make these decisions. By physically removing the occupiers they have moved to other areas and greater numbers.
Here is my suggestion: If you want to protest for change, be aware that your power is not in fighting Big Business and Wall Street Fat Cats, but in hitting them where it hurts, and that is their political voice. We have got to get them out of our politics. The way we do that is to move the occupiers to places where we make this point. And that is were the politicians live! Move to Pennsylvania Ave. If you cannot do that, then move to the capitol buildings in your individual states. Once these politicians know that we recognize the power behind the doors of Congress, then things will begin to change.
We are always stronger than we realize because we do have Freedom of Speech and the Freedom of the Vote. And, We, the People, we have to make sure that they hear our voices for change loud and clear.
The NationalJournal online fact checkes political information for the public. Perry is saying that Obama called We, the People lazy. The NationalJournal says that the President said basically “Industry has been lazy…” that he was discussing job creators and industry, not individuals. That comment was taken out of context for a Perry Ad against Barack Obama. Therefore the Rick Perry political machine simply lied, no getting around this fact. But will the Right check this out? No, I doubt very seriously if they will. Too many people are too trusting of the facts. Be vigil, We, the People… be vigil.
Very well said, Peachbird, so many say that they have no real power as an individual; but this is far from the truth especially in a forum such as this. One person speaks a Word, and it is passed from mouth to mouth faster than you can possibly imagine. And one of the reasons for this is that you are all part of Soul Gestalts. As soon as a mass number is reached all or at least most of your gestalt individuals are feeling the change in mood. When this happens, people begin to become agitated enough to start moving for change. And then they more or less infect the minds of other Soul Gestalts and the Word grows stronger and stronger.
And that is where Guides and Teachers on this side can make a difference without taking away your free will. Our nudging is always for the highest good of the individual and the collective consciousness. When individuals open themselves to Good, then Good is the outcome of any situation. Never feel that you are alone far from it, there are entities on this side that work tirelessly for the Good of Mankind.
Some have been groomed for this process for change. Our Bird here is one of them. A bird carries a message, yes? So it is…

Obama in Autrailia
GOP "Emporer is wearing no clothes"
President Barack Obama just gave a beautiful speech in Darwin, Australia. Damn... he’s a rock star! *LOL* The Aussies and our Marines there love the man! It makes me proud.
It is sad that he is respected all over the world and we have a vocal minority here who criticize everything he does and refuse to give him credit for anything. I am personally so sick of the “just say no” congress that will do anything including hurting the rest of us to defeat him next year. I don’t mean fighting hard; I mean doing down right evil deeds. People better listen to what they do, not what they say; because that is 2 different things entirely.
But if all they have is the motley crew they have drug out so far, I’m not worried too damned much! I’m just counting on the average voter out there being able to see that the GOP “emperor is wearing no clothes” when it comes to these would-be Presidential candidates.
November 16, 2011 (proof read and added to)
Well, much has been on my mind of late.
Politics: Newt Gingrich is becoming the star of the Republican Party. He asked his first wife for a divorce when she was in the hospital fighting cancer to marry the woman he had been having an affair with. This third wife was his mistress before he divorced his second wife to marry her. I really don’t care what politicians do in their private life to a large degree. But Newt’s love life has a poor track record, and I know there are those out there who feel that these inconsistencies speak to his moral fiber. At the same time that Clinton was being hounded over the Monica debacle, Newt was going through his own aduletress affairs. And he was the major voice against Clinton.
I’m much more upset about Newt's political career. I just hope that people recall that while he was the Speaker of the House, he lobbied for Freddie Mac Home Loan Institution to the tune of 1.6 million dollars (30,000 a month for 5 years). He actually claims that he was a History Consultant to the organization. Freddie Mac says he was paid to “court” the Republican Party in order to create a more friendly relationship… In other words, he was "influence peddling." Since when do large lending institutions care about “loving relationships? with congresssmen... I say it is when they are lobbying for their own highest good, and nothing more.” He was censored 80 times while the Speaker of the House, frequently for out and out lying. That’s right, Newt does not flip flop, he just plain lies. I’m struck by his statement that he thought everyone should have health insurance. Then that very same day stated that his comments were false and could not be quoted as fact! LOL Oh, God, I laughed…
Herman Cain does not know anything about Libya, can’t recall sexually harassing four women, swears that his 9-9-9 tax plan will even the tax field and save the middle class and the poor money. Actually what it will do is allow that 1% of those at the upper echelon level to pay even less tax than they do now. I don’t know what they will do about Corporate Welfare where the richest amongst us get paid NOT to work! That is a fact.
Michelle Bachmann is one of those who gets paid not to farm her land. To me that doesn’t sound like a woman who really wants the government out of her life! As well she thinks the founding fathers fought long and hard against slavery, when in actually they owned slaves themselves. Kick me if I’m wrong, but I believe it was Abraham Lincoln that fought long and hard to end slavery.
Rick Perry is doing a good imitation of Geo. W. on drugs or else he fancies himself to be a stand up comedian. I think he has the IQ of a newt, and I don’t mean Newt Gingrich.
Willard “Mutt... ooops, I meant Mitt” Romney has flip flopped so many times on issues that one does not know what he stands for except he is saying now that he is promising… “promising” that he will attack Iran over nuclear weapons, if he is elected! Does he really have any idea of the implications of this statement? Is the man losing his mind!
Now Speaker Bainner (I do hope I spelled that right...LOL) says the Republicans have always been for jobs and are fighting tirelessly for jobs. The fact is that they are preparing to put through their balance the budget act. It is so radical that it will cost us 50,000 jobs at the least. Not to mention cutting Social Security and Medicare by billions and even trillions of dollars. We the People need to be very sure that we are not just listening to their campaign promises, but their actions! They speak much louder than words.
It is not rocket science, jobs creation reduces the deficit! And we have needs all over this country for making jobs. Number one for me is infrastructure. 60,000 bridges need to be repaired and that is the least of it. Highways all over the country need repairs and expansion. And then clean fuels like wind and solar should be strongly financed. All these people working will pay TAXES to pay for these things along with the wealthiest few who should be paying taxes as well. Again it is not rocket science that people working pay taxes. Those who are not working cannot!
Republicans are in an all out war against the middle class and women through the destruction of the Planned Parenthood act which includes birth control and cancer screening. Do you know that women paid more for insurance before Obama “so called” Care. The same bill that was defeated in Mississippi is now before the congress! Now where will that go? 63% of minimum wage earners are women! Women until 2008 earned only 77% of a dollar paid to men.
They are fighting the Environmental Protection Act tooth and nail for the oil and gas industries mostly to allow Fracking of oil sand to remove gas without care for our water or soil. There are places where people can light fire to their water, one of those being in Ohio andTennessee. Fracking is being done all over the country. Everyone else has to follow the EPA laws to protect not only the environment, but the Human Beings who live on the Earth Mother. Not to mention this, they now want to run a pipeline from Canada to Texas for Natural Gas recovered from Sand fracking. This is supposed to make jobs, I laugh at that. It does not take that many jobs to run a pipeline, once it is run there will be hardly any new jobs, and almost all will be laid off. We have nuclear power plants built on fault lines all across this country. So, I ask you, will this monster pipeline be crossing through highly populated areas and will it be built over fault lines?

Remain vigil, We, the People… Alright, enough on that.
Molestation of young boys at Penn State, I am still so appalled by this story that it hurts to think about it. I am so glad that it is being aired by the media. I think most people know that 1 out of 4 girls are sexually molested and 1 out of 6 boys. The only way to get rid of this travesty is for people to get up in arms and say that this will not be tolerated. Every single one of those connected with that situation should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. One of the things about this case that is frustrating is the very fact that Penn Stare did not investigate, the State of Pennsylvaina did not investigate ; it is the Federal Government that is investigating this criminal behavior. And Republicans want to get Government out of our lives? Very often the government is the only thing between us and the rest of "them." We want government to regulate all kinds of things for our protection... and this is just a sample of that fact.
I’ll speak of religion another time. This is exhausting!
Yes, Peachbird, it is draining, but you are well aware of the collective karma of Nations, Politics, and People. These are the issues that must be addressed if mankind is to stop this downward spiral into Karmic Darkness that we on this side of the veil are fighting as best we can without interrupting the freewill of those of you there. We are well pleased with your efforts here.
November 11, 2011 Americans won't do dirty jobs? That is not the issue. (proof read and added to 11/13/11)
A short time ago this day on the Dylan Radigan Show on MSNBC I watched a debate about a study that implies that Americans will not do dirty jobs. The example given was a Trout Fish processing company in Alabama. I heard on NPR driving to work one day a year or so ago an article about the Guatemalans who were brought in to work at that plant. They were working for next to nothing 16 hours a day and living in substandard living conditions provided by the Company. One of the women interviewed said that there was barely room for everyone to find a place to sleep on the floor with the dirty mattresses provided by the Company. These people were recruited and brought here by the Company with promises of decent pay plus living conditions. I could not believe this was happening here in the U.S. Most just wanted to save the money to go home, but could not. Finally someone checked this out and the Guatemalans were sent back home. I suspect they were grateful!
I get so tired of hearing that the unemployed won’t take dirty jobs. They are the ones that used to do the dirty jobs, but business found that it (I say it, because corporations are not people contrary to some popular belief.) could get cheap labor from illegals. Those people could be worked long hours with substandard living conditions and no benefits.
Now they want Americans to do the same. This is not a third world country and I hope the 99% of us continue to work to see that we are not turned into one. I know I would rather pay a little bit more as we did in the past so that we have decent working conditions, benefits, and good pay for all. Raising the minimum wage did nothing to help. The Illegals work for whatever they can get.
I am not against immigrants, not in the least. They should be legalized through some kind of process and allowed to work like the rest of us. Then they will be decent productive members of society who pay taxes and buy homes and consume the same goods as the rest of us. This country is a land of immigrants. We came from all over the world to this "land of plenty" with freedom for all. Only when those outsiders are absorbed into the greater community, then and only then, will we enjoy the richness that comes from diversity. History teaches us that if we educate their children within about 2 generations, they will be productive members of society. But as long as we hate them and marginalize them, they will be a drain on society.
America, open your armes to the richness that comes from diversity. We have so much to learn from one another. And if we want our country back the way it was, we have got to foil the attempts to keep us a divided country. Politicians would like nothing better than to keep your attention on illegals so that you do not concentrate on what is more important. And that is the economy, and jobs! We have to stand together... all of us.
Remember: "Together we stand... divided, we fall."
November 10, 2011 ( proof read - quickly)
One of the reasons I hope we are listening to what is happening in the country the last few days is for what it says about We, the People and the direction in which we want our country to go in this 21st century. The meaning of the votes for me in the different states on the 8th is that we fought for rights that we have had for over a century in some cases; the right to bargain with employers for decent working conditions and a fair wage for a good days work. We fought for Unions to remain Unions. This is what we are battling; not new rights, but old ones that our ancestors fought long and hard to get for their labors. Surely we are not at the place where we want to go backwards instead of forward. There is always room for change, but that change should improve our lives not take us back to the past.
The same is true of the Abortion laws. Only about 50 years ago women were getting abortions from quacks in back allies and in the middle of the night in some shack with a coat hanger when they could not afford a baby for one reason or another. And trust me as any woman can tell you there are legitimate reasons for an abortion. No woman wants to kill a baby, but women in desperate straights will do desperate things. Many died or were disfigured and unable to bear another child should they want to. Do we want to go back to those days? Because trust me, if the extreme right gets their way, birth control will even be banned. If a child is born at the moment of conception, then Birth Control Pills will be banned because they keep the fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine wall. And no one will be able to lose a child to miscarriage without being investigated to be sure that she did not secretly abort her child one way or another. Even if your life depends on aborting a fetus, the fetus wins out. And if it does not, both you and your doctor can be accused of murdering a living human being. That, my friends, is colonization, the take over of women’s uteruses. The far right is trying to colonize the bodies of women. Next they will want us in Burkus (I hope I spelled that right, bee suits… you know what I mean.) like Muslim women of the Middle East. In other words, let’s get the little woman back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. I could go on and on about the import of this legislation, but I think I have hit the hot spots and you can imagine from there.
In other states politicians were recalled for doing exactly what they said they were going to do in order to get elected. The Tea Party was so sure of what they wanted that they just followed along with the GOP candidates who were promising to give them what they wanted. Once these guys were in they realized exactly what they got, and they did the wise thing to get rid of them. But the point is that they did not even seem to know what they were voting for when they went to the polls the first time. I have often wondered why people will vote against their own self interest because a politician says it is the thing to do. They were outraged over the 1% of the wealthiest amongst us being threatened with tax increases. That 1% were paying next to no taxes due to loop holes! Instead of being outraged that they are the ones getting obscenely rich while the rest of us are paying the bills, they voted to spare that 1%, because they were told their taxes would be raised. If all you listen to is extreme right wing news programs, you are going to be fed their agenda... and trust me their agenda is NOT your agenda!
We do not want government out of our lives. We want excess and waste out of government, but we want the protection of our government to see that things are carried through in a right and responsible way. We want politicians who represent We, the People, not the richest 1% of the richest in this land... the so called job makers who are taking their jobs to third world countries.
*note: now I want once again to touch on the Penn State Crimes of Child Rape. Joe Pa. (I never heard of him before!) and everyone connected with the cover up of those rapes needs to be fired and prosecuted. That is my stand. We have got to stop sugar coating these atrocities and the cover up there of. The teaching assistant who witnessed the 6'4" coach raping a child saw that baby against the wall with his hands up being anally raped… sodomized; and he did nothing to stop it. That is criminal. Like a teenager, he told his dad. And they told Joe Pa, and he told someone else until they punished the perpetrator by taking away his keys to the shower room! That is criminal. And the only way to stop such horror stories that ruin the lives of children is to call it out into the open and take legal action! Immediately! The police should have been called immediately. I am sure that the child was injured enough to prove the case not to mention an eye witness! This is hard for me to get out of my mind. My outrage is complete.
Every time I hear of children or animals or women or gays or weaker human beings being abused, I am horrified at man’s inhumanity to man and to the creatures that the Creator put in our care. We were made stewards of the Earth not destroyers of such. If there is a hell, it is what is done to the weak and innocent on this Earth; and we will pay our own kind of hell in retaliation. And I have gone over these things in my spiritual entries, so I will not go over them again.
Okay, enough said. I need a forum to get this sort of thing out in the open…at least to my mind. I just hope that others share my outrage so that we can begin to realize that we are not put here to damage and run wild unlike even the most wild of animals. No animal does the things we are hearing of these past few days. It just has to change. One reason is that those perpetrators were most often abused themselves in the way they abuse. For some reason it is passed from generation to generation. The cycle has to be broken… for the sake of our children. And for the sake of Mankind.
I’m climbing down off my soap box now...
November 9, 2011 (not proof read)
Well, well, well… I’m proud to be a member of We, the People, today! The Middle Class has spoken all over this country, and I believe we sent a clear message. And that message is “you can no longer walk over us. We know what you are about, and we have had enough. The scales have fallen from our eyes, and we see the emperor is wearing no clothes!” All across this country people are on the main streets of cities letting it be known that a sleeping bear has been awakened. The elections across the country shout that message loud and clear. Now we need to stay awake and fight for our rights.
And unlike the GOP who fights for that 1% who has been running everything and screwing it up for the rest of us, we do have a party that is on our side. And that is the Democratic Party led by President Barack Obama. Without his leadership, I believe the congressional democrats would keep right on marching in lock step with the Republicans because they're all in the back pocket of that 1% we are protesting against all across this country.
Last night I listened to President Bill Clinton on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show talk about measures to get this economy going again. And he made perfect sense, I hope everyone is listening; because he is the President that did balance the budget and left a surplus for the GOP to use up cutting taxes for their elite few. Then they put us in debt with senseless wars and more tax cuts for their elite base. And now they believe that they have us convinced that they could pull up some stupid side show like gay rights, don’t ask-don’t tell, (By the way, Gays are not hurting us; Gay is not contagious.) abortion or burning the flag to keep our minds off the fact that we don’t have jobs and we are going hungry! Then the Tea Party tells us we need to get Government out of our lives so that we can make more jobs. That is trickle up economics... NOT trickle down!
I just listened to some bozo saying that if we don’t have jobs, we should blame ourselves! Over 50,000 Factories closed during G.W.’s reign as President. And I say reign because it was like a dictatorship or a monarchy as he did whatever he and Dick Cheney wanted and if people did not like it they were called Anti-American! All those workers from those 50,000 Factories did not ask to lose their jobs, it was not their fault. Now they're starting to realize that the GOP is not on their side. Government is not all of the problem, Unions are not the problem, Teachers are not the problem, Fire Fighters are not the problem, nor are the Police Departments across this country the problem. Those of us who lost our jobs due to budget cuts are not the problem; we are the symptoms of the problem.
The problem is that we have been functioning in a Corporate Dictatorship. Wall Street, not Main Street is the problem. We have been hoodwinked into believing that tax breaks for the wealthiest so called job makers are the only chance we have for recovery. Well, we tried that. And the job makers most surely did make jobs… in third world countries. Yes, they made jobs so that their pockets are full and ours are empty. And we are giving them corporate welfare to take those jobs into those third world countries.
It’s time to try a different tact and that is the message that We, the People, sent in those elections across this country yesterday. We have spoken, and I hope we have been heard by more than just the President who has heard us all along. I think he has been doing the best he can to work with Washington for over two years. Now he is taking his message to the People. I hope we are listening to him.
Just a note: if you want more insight into the news, watch the political humorists, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher. You don’t have to agree with them all the time, I don’t; but they can give logical insights that the main stream media cannot. Humor is a wonderful voice for the people, it always has been. I haven’t watched SNL in a long time, I think I need to take a look again. I like to watch Reverend Al Sharpton' Political Nation, he has a laser eye for nonsense in politics. So does Rachel Maddow. And they do it with a touch of humor, but they are dead serious! Watch everything about politics. You don’t have to watch all the time, but sometimes. Then compare what you hear. Listen to the political humorists just for fun; and you will find an astute sense of what is really going on in this country. Just me sayin…
*Now, just a note on the Penn State mess over sexual abuse of children: How anyone with knowledge of this disgrace could ignore the fact is sickening. These were children from a charity foundation... how could this happen. Someone even witnessed Sandusky in the act and did NOT even stop it! I keep hearing poor Joe Pa. Well, he let his best friend get away with this disgusting behavior for years.... not once, but years! All I can say is Damn all of Them who knew this and ignored it for the reputation of a University.
I'm listening to The Ed Show while I type. He is the first person in the news that I have heard address this issue from my point of view. Those boys will be marked forever from their experience at that University claiming to be helping those poor unfortunate children. Everyone connected with this nightmare should lose their jobs... not after the last football game; but right now! And I believe they should be prosecuted. They are as culpable as the perpetrator in my book! This is not just a moral issue; it is a criminal one as well!
When will mankind drag itself out of the ignorance of such occurrences and say, “This is enough? We will not tolerate such behavior.” These men should receive severe punishment for their crimes. It is common knowledge that sexual offenders continue to offend. They should be locked away from children for the rest of their lives. Do I sound extreme? I don’t care. Enough is enough! And all the others associated with the cover up should pay the price as well. No one should walk away from this atrocity unscathed.
November 6, 2011 (proof read)
Yesterday was my birthday. A birthday is a good time to take stock of who a person is and not a bad thing to share. Especially when one is writing the kinds of things that I am. I feel that it is important to know a bit about me to understand me so that you might more easily understand my belief system. I do this frequently to make points, but now I’m just doing it to do it. I want to assess where I am in my life right now. And I’m not afraid to share it.
I’m Scorpio Sun and Moon with Cancer rising. Interesting combination, it actually means that I think and feel like a Scorpio, but I project and have Cancer traits. So I think that means that I can seem very sweet and nice, but turn ugly if I have to… *LOL* I have worked hard in my lifetime to control a quick temper. I’m opinionated and I tend to be slow to trust people. And I am a loner. I feel and love deeply. My emotions can rule me if I allow it. I’ve worked long and hard to control my emotions, but they still get the best of me now and then. My late husband used to joke that I could cry over a TV commercial. And he didn’t mean the sad ones about animals or children needing help to survive that we have now. So he was really being facetious. I can cry at those sad commercials and often have to change channels while they are on. I can't stand to look at road kill either.
I can lead. But, I don’t have to be a leader. It does not bother me to follow as long as the leader is a good one. But if said leader proves to be inept or slow, I am very likely to take over without much thought partly because I am a first born and was responsible for siblings, but that is not all of it. One, I think fast, and two, I have a good intuition. And last but not least, I’m intelligent. It’s a good thing to know who you are. I have been very, very judgmental in my lifetime. I am finally conquering that trait, but it still crops up at times. I have a lot of patience with children, not so much with adults… especially if they are acting like children. And I have very little patience with my own flaws of character. I am a nurturer by nature. And I have a tender heart with some deep wounds that are still healing.
My Spirituality is very important to me. It always has been. I’ve studied one way or another spiritual pursuits all of my adult life. I started with a keen interest when I was about 12, by 14 I was becoming thoroughly disillusioned with the Protestant faith. It all sounded like faery tales to me much like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I listened to Preachers talk about Heaven and Hell and I felt like my intelligence was being insulted. If there was something as powerful as a God, why would He act like a demon and throw people into a pit of fire. That was ludicrous to me. Like wise, how could a baby be judged as a 70 year old adult? Or even a teen judged like an adult who had a lifetime to live and grow and learn. I found that both Protestantism and Catholicism both had those two things in common. Ten Commandments? That sounded better at first. Then I began to pick that apart simply because I was intelligent enough to see the inconsistencies. And I wondered that the adults all around me could not. Then I branched out into other religious study.
Some one once said to me that the more one studies religions the less one begins to believe in them. I guess that was true for me. As I have mentioned in other areas of this dialogue, I finally found that religion per se held little interest for me. Then I began to study spiritual issues along with a continued interest in religion. Finally I gave up on religion all together.
Now after a long journey I consider myself only a spiritual being. I describe myself at times as a tree hugger and an animal lover. I walk with the Wolf Clan and I talk to Thunderbird… and all that implies.
Do I believe in God? Oh, yes, but not as an entity that I will meet face to face one day. To me God is the Great Mystery of my Amer. Indian ancestors, and I believe my Celtic relations as well. Creator, All That Is, to me is a better name for a Deity than God. I believe that the Creator is in and through all things be they alive or dead as we think of them. The Creator is in a Tree, a Rock, Water, an Animal, a Bird or a Flower. The Creator speaks to us in a baby’s laughter, the wind that ripples the leaves of a tree or a of body of water, a thunderstorm, and a song or melody. Creator speaks to us through all those things, if we but learn to listen. That energy is all around us and to give thanks to The Creator, All That Is, is entirely right and proper. When I seek guidance I call on my Guides and Teachers.
This prayer that has been attributed to many different Indian Nations and speaks most clearly to my spirituality.
OH, GREAT SPIRIT, whose voice I hear in the winds,
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold THE RED AND PURPLE SUNSET.
Make my hands respect the things I have made and ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but fight my greatest enemy... myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades as THE FADING SUNSET, my Spirit may come to you without shame.
-Ojibwa Prayer
Enough about me. I just think that it is a good thing to take stock of who you are every now and again. You learn a lot about yourself that way. I often wonder how others see me. Then, again, I say… never mind. Your opinion of me is none of my business. If I let it be so, then I give away my power. Who I am is only between myself, Creator, and my Guides and Teachers. I'm doing the best I can with what I have to work with... and I believe that is what we all do.

Now, I am hearing on Rachel Maddow about all the 40 year old nuclear power plants that are having problems to date. As well, that they are just going to begin testing to see what would happen if one of these plants was subject to an Earthquake. This decision coming in light of all the problems Japan is having with there Nuclear Power complex due to their last Earthquake. One of their plants is right now in serious trouble. So, we are going to look at our 40 years old nuclear plants all over the country ... just in case. Just in case! This news is making my hair stand on end!

The GOP at present time as I see it is evasive to incredible in their potential candidates for President.
Herman Cain had amnesia about his sexual harassment charges. Today his memory is beginning to return though he is still evasive. Now we have GOP pundits’, Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh defending him. Coulter declares that the Left feels there is something wrong with “their” Blacks. And then “our” Blacks… hmmm… *LOL* Does the GOP have ownership papers for “their” Blacks or is she insinuating that “we” do? Limbaugh says that we are attacking Cain with an “internet witch hunt.” He would not be surprised to see Cain portrayed as a cartoon character eating watermelon on MSNBC. *LOL* Well, he was the one who said that… not my side of the table! At least the Left has not painted a Hitler mustache on their Presidential wannabees.
Rick Perry did a speech that could only be described as incredible. Perry when speaking of our inalienable rights put his fingers up for the four I assume he was preparing to address. Then it was obvious that all he could remember was the first one, “Life.” He paused to get his thoughts straight, and then he said, “It’s strange it always begins with Life!” That’s when I did a double take and exclaimed, “What?” *LOL* The man was like George W. Bush only on drugs! I have said from the beginning that Perry is merely G.W. in a Rick Perry suit! And I stand by that. When asked about his inebriated attitude during said speech, he replied that he thought it was a good speech. He got his message across and he felt good! *LOL* I felt good just watching the pieces of his speech and laughing hysterically! Laughter is good for the Soul.
I think Jon Stewart said it best, “This guy is either hammered, or every other time we have seen him before; *pause* he was hammered.” I love the fact that Jon Stewart (the Daily Show) and Steven Colbert (The Colbert Report) hone issues down to the bare facts with humor. Now I must say in his defense, Perry did an excellent imitation of a stand up comedian! *LOL
Another political pundit I really respect and enjoy is Rev. Al Sharpton and his show ‘Political Nation.’ Rev. Al is not afraid to grab the Beast by his red pointed tail, then jerk him around to look the Devil in his face! Don’t preach the Bible when you have Christian Preachers out there listening especially when they have Political Talk Shows! Good for Rev. Al. He brought up the issue of a wasted $260,000 on a GOP congressional Bill to “keep” the phrase “in God we Trust” as our motto on all our currency, not to mention the time could have been better spent on the Job Bill Obama is trying to get passed. There is no dispute over this phrase on our currency, none whatsoever. The original bill was passed in 1956, and covers the entire future of our currency and our motto. Rev. Sharpton, a Christian man of God, expounded on the hypocrisy of using God’s name and ignoring His messages. I won’t miss his show or Rachel Maddow’s, if I can help it.
Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney has flip-flopped on every issue. Sadly he does not seem to think that anyone is keeping track of his flips… or his flops. Thank God there are those in the News Media who are. I’m so impressed with the coverage of most of the MSNBC news that I really go there to get the “whole story” after having listened to the others.
Michelle Baughman... Michelle who? This is the lady who will cut all taxes, and repeal all laws. What she wants to do is give the Country to Big Business. Perry also wants to deregulate? Well, everything. Along with Michelle, he wants to hand over our country to Big Business. I stand by my remarks about a Corporate Dictatorship looming on the horizon, if We the People do not stay alert!
The argument that most GOP folks seem to tout is that Reagan was the GOP God of the Past. Reagan raised taxes 6 or 8 times during his administration. Why? No doubt to make the country run. That’s as I recall it. You cannot run the country without taxes! It just all depends on who is paying the taxes. Is it the 99% of us, or is it that 1% that really controls everything and pays nothing? You know, the job creators who get corporate welfare to make more jobs... which they do, in third world countries that is. The GOP has borrowed from China to run the country. I think there is a better way. Raise taxes on the wealthiest of us who have been paying nothing for the last 30 years and even more I am sure.
The Republicans talk of entitlements. We spend +40 million on food stamps amounting to $30 a week for food for each individual! Let’s see our congressmen live on that! If a man or woman loses their job and cannot find another, food stamps is a literal lifeline. Everyday we hear of factories closing, 50,000 factories, not people, during the Bush administration. All the employees of those factories were laid off and we begrudge them food stamps? I’m not talking about that less than 1.5% who possibly abuse the system. I’m talking about hard working people who have never asked for a handout in their lives applying for food stamps to keep food on the table for their children. Food Stamps are today’s Soup Lines!
40.5 Million dollars was spent on food stamps last year. At the same time, we paid 12.7 Billion Dollars for corporate welfare… the 1% of GOP job makers. And the GOP is fighting tooth and nail over giving 4 billion for the poor. Why is it that Corporate Welfare is more important for the 1% than for the poor and needy? Jesus said, “take care of these, the least of mine.”
Wall Street is sitting on 2 Trillion Dollars that they could be releasing for job creation. Are they? Will they? It appears not. It appears they will use a large portion of this money to get GOP candidates elected. I can only call this Trickle UP Economics; I believe that came from the Ed show. But it is 100% true. The average Congressman makes over 1 Million Dollars a year. It costs them a fortune to get reelected. Therefore, they are in the back pockets of Big Business… both parties!
I stand by my claim that we are in danger of a Corporate Dictatorship. In fact, I put forth the proposition that we already are, but in name only. These people have no reason whatsoever to think of We, the People! The only person between us and that inevitability is President Barack Obama. How many of those democratic congressmen do you see supporting our President who is the only one out there fighting for us? Do you know who I see supporting him? Hillary Clinton! And only Hillary Clinton. The rest of those +millionaires are the silent ones. Hold on, I do see some heads beginning to poke out from under the rocks of their protectionism? Seems the Black Caucus is stepping up to the mic... thank you very much.
I highly suggest that our Elected Democrats take a hard look at what is going on, because I will vote for my President, Barack Obama, again. But nothing says I have to vote for the Republicans OR Democrats in Congress. Nothing says I can’t vote Progressive, Independent or even Liberal. It would damn sure send a message to our representatives in Congress! I wonder how many others out there are thinking the same thing?
This is how out of touch the GOP is; I received a political poll invitation. One of the questions was, “Did you vote for the current President? Would you vote for him again?” My answer to both was yes. Then I was given a multiply choice question. There were several things listed as what was most important to me for the coming election. These were things like Tax Cuts, Repealing Obama Care, the National Debt, etc. What was glaringly absent was The Economy or Jobs! I said that was what I was most interested in. You know what I was told? These are the only choices, you have to choose one. My reply, “I don’t choose any of them.” My most important issue for the coming election is JOBS and the Economy! That is it… the bottom line for me! And I assure you, I am not alone!
Oh, sh…I mean, darn, now there is a large Coal Ash spill on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan! Pollution like mercury, arsenic, and other equally poisonous materials is being dumped into the Lake as I type. If you don’t or have not lived on one of those Great Lakes, you have no idea what that means. It is drinking water, fishing water, recreational water, and yes, JOBS for millions. We had one of these in Tennessee about 4 years back, and they are still trying to clean that mess up. And the GOP wants to Deregulate? These are the nightmares we face with a GOP controlled government.

Now taking note of Peachbird’s intuition that she was letting go of her self consciousness in order to be a better channel. This is entirely the truth. As mentioned earlier once she became more comfortable, this process would go much easier.
Many of you may wonder what it is that has allowed this little bird to do what it is she is doing. Well, it is the result of a lifetime of effort on both her part and ours. She often as a child thought of going home. And that was because she knew that this was not her home, but a reincarnation experience. She wanted very much upon entering this plane of reality to remember her true identity. We worked very hard to help her in that endeavor. And we have succeeded very well, but it was not an easy road. I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say that she has had her emotional ups and downs. But always she struggled to hold onto her spirituality and allow it to blossom.
In many incarnations she was considered a Holy Person, A Dreamer, and a Healer. Not always was her reincarnation so divested with a spiritual purpose, however. This is difficult work, and even the best need a respite. And there are other karmic situations that a multidimensional being sets up in many different planes, dimensions of reality not to mention alternative realities.
But these lifetimes of spiritual service in the society in which she was born was more open to these kinds of endeavors; therefore, she was able to influence large numbers of people within her circle of acquaintance. In this time, it is difficult because her skills… or powers… are not accepted as the norm. In the primitive societies where she worked in this way, it was understood that some could do these things. In her reincarnations in advanced societies, this was not a problem either. Now it is not so common to have such a person part of every community. The leveling factor here is the very instrument by which she is communicating at present. This word can be spread much more rapidly than ever before. However, there is still the obstacle of common belief systems. Of this we do not really care as those who are meant to understand will; and for them it will be the beginning of an awakening process. And they in turn will spread the words read here.
That’s enough. This bird has been ill with upper and lower respiratory infection, and we do not mean to stress her present condition.
Correct at another time. I think you will find again that there will be little need for proof reading, but you are free to do so at your discretion. Good evening…
October 30, 2011 (well, once again no mistakes... I think that means I'm letting go of my egotistical need to for others to believe these words, and I am merely allowing myself to be an open channel.)
Now as you can see by the text below there is room for many misunderstandings through your earth’s history. Primitive man needed guidance to move above the role of two legged animals. There was intelligence there, but it was clear that it would take thousands, if not millions of years for them to progress to anything with the slightest semblance of civilized creatures. Thus we began the time consuming process of elevating these ape like creatures into the humanoid types your archeologists have dug up all over the world. There is a missing link. And that missing link was the work that we on this side of your reality accomplished to speed up the development of mankind.
We were for the best part well pleased with our progress, but always there are flaws in any process. What these primitive peoples mistook for Gods and Goddesses were the teachers that we sent. We allowed them to keep the misinformation as it would have been impossible to explain multidimensional personalities or soul gestalt theory. So it is that we planted the seeds of progress into you primitive ancestors in order to lift them up from the mire of ignorance and begin to move them in the direction of civilization.
I think you can see how easy it was for primitive man to imagine that we were Gods, ghosts, space travelers, and the like. So now mankind has a basis from which to work. But still we watch your planet move from high intellectual periods to the darkest ignorance; and then we see that you have created a renaissance and drag your selves up from the mire of ignorance once more with our help. And we are pleased.
It is always our goal and that of those who return through reincarnations to aid in the process and to keep the whole of mankind on an upward spiral. Not always an easy task, as there is always those who forget their purpose as soon as the veil is drawn over their faces. But all and all we struggle forward along side you as best we can. It is now our hope that some few can begin to face reality as it is. It is our hope that you will remember this knowledge, because you do know it. You left this side of reality knowing exactly who you are and why you are there. It is now the focus of all here and there to awaken you from your sleep and help you to remember who you are and how to be in the world in a right way.
But my dear readers, it matters not one whit whether or not you believe these words or no. They are reality. And they are your reality.
October 29, 2011 (amazing... not one error that I could find in proof reading)
Now then, I can see that we never got to the topic of heaven and hell. The idea of a heaven and hell was developed as nothing more than fear tactics. Somewhere along the way primitive man needed something to believe in. Therefore, the natural wonders of the world could be attributed to some higher power, a God who could control things beyond simple man. Thus began the birth of religion, an idea that was struck from this side of reality and then moved into the physical through the realm of dreams. This was much farther back into your history as a planet than you can even imagine.
The idea brought a certain amount of law and order so to speak. This angered the Gods, this appeased them. That was the idea. Through many, many more incarnations than you could imagine this idea was rebirthed and nurtured. As mankind progressed more and more complicated answers to reality was born into the world as you know it. Well, not as you know; because you truly cannot envision the beginning of man nor religion with any degree of accuracy. The reason being that it is far too complicated as well as ancient. Suffice to say that mankind needed a check and balance system, thus the beginning of religious law.
Now as we move forward in mankind’s spiritual history, we come to a place where more order is needed. These early humans were far more primitive than you could possibly imagine. So it was decided that Souls with the memory of their purpose would be introduced into the world in order to speed up the growth of man. These Ones were holy to those who knew them for their very existence was new and complex. They had strengths and power that mankind could little understand. Each of these, shall we say Prophets brought the message of Creation, Good and Evil, Heaven and Hell for it was obvious that man needed some strong incentive to behave in a… well, shall we say more civilized manner. Thus the Laws for your so called Holy Books or Tablets were passed down. Heaven and Hell merely gave the incentive to behave more appropriately in the world.
Now you ask, what of stories of Mu or Atlantis, what of the Ancient Greeks, Ancient Egyptians? These were highly advanced civilizations. What happened that mankind was driven into the Dark Ages? Sad to say the onset of Christianity is much at fault. The basic tenets of the teachings were misunderstood despite our best efforts from this side and that. Christianity proceeded to throw out all the ancient wisdom as somehow evil. The only thing that could be accepted was the word of God through the religion of Paul. Much as your political Right wing extremists do now in your political scene is in direct correlation to that period in history.
Here again, we have the reincarnation of an idea; the goal to see if mankind has learned its lesson… or not. So far that is an unanswered question. However, we do all that we can from this side, but interfere with your free will. Free Will is a vital part of existence in your reincarnation realities. How else could you grow from your experiences if you do not have the free will to manipulate within them? It’s a slow process, but mankind gradually spirals upwards. Sometimes those spirals stretch out and even circle back before knowledge is learned. But that knowledge is passed to everyone of your Soul Gestalt.
I hope this clarifies things a bit...
October 28, 2011
Now, we are going to look at the idea of heaven and hell, but only briefly as an example of how an individual, this one in particular, is guided into directions that will most surely enable her to fulfill her purpose in this reality. At a very early age, Peachbird began to become disenfranchised with the nature of religion that she was exposed to in her physical life. She went to church with relatives and her parents very infrequently. Despite this fact, her parents did the best that they could to instill in their children a Christian ethic. This Bird was always very opinionated and able to look much more deeply into issues than her peers even as a child.
(An aside, it is strange to Peachbird that I referred to her as Bird. I can’t help but laugh. It is for that purpose that we have stopped to make this comment. The lifetimes that bind us so closely are those from the Indigenous Peoples of not just this land, but many. And in most of those incarnations, her name had some connection to Birds. Therefore, it is very easy for me to abbreviate that title to Bird. Now I have made her laugh. And that is not a bad thing.)
As she matured spiritually in her childish way, she became truly skeptical of the stories taught from the Bible. At first it was just a nagging idea that it sounded very much like the fantasy books she had been reading most of her young life. Now the reason I bring that point to the fore is to show you how things are related in the process of guiding a Soul. By opening her mind in one area, it was very easy to move onto the next. By the time she finished High School, she felt a real desire to find a religion that she could feel was more than just faery tales. So she switched from Protestant interest to Catholic. There she did find some solace, but not for long. She met and friend and began going with her to church. And then she began to study the catechism. In the beginning it was all well and good. Then she found that just as the stories in the protestant faith made little sense, it was no better in Catholicism. In her youthful experiences with church, she was so well aware of the hypocrisy or division between the socio economic levels of the church bureaucracy and the members who were supporting that same bureaucracy.
Now do you note the comparison between her feelings on present day political issues and this early awareness of the same on a spiritual level? Very soon she was aware that there was the same hypocrisy in the Catholic Church. Rome was rich, and people all over the world made it so. But, those same people got very little real help in their lives. People who were struggling to take care of their families were told that if they tithed 10% it would come back 10 fold. She saw very little evidence of that. So that now I believe you can see that she had this deep awareness of not only religious structure and inequality within the hierarchy of all the religions she had thus far been exposed, but the unfairness of the distribution of wealth that would most naturally evolve into a political ideal. Our Bird was very displeased with all she saw around her. The very religion that was supposed to give her hope and purpose was failing her abysmally.
Thus she began to study other world religions. In them she found beauty, but not the kind of substance that she could adopt from anyone of them. What she did find was that all religions had common denominators; a belief in one God, the law of do unto others, and life after death. These things she could readily accept. But no one religion would fill all her demands.
She began to look in completely different directions, namely metaphysics and spirituality. In these areas she began to find her spiritual base belief system. And she could feel that she was finally beginning to understand the nature of reality. Little did she guess that she had just put her foot upon a path that would lead her not only to her own purpose, but to a peace of mind that she could not have imagined.
It was not however until she became exposed to Amer. Indian Spirituality and the metaphysical teachings that led her to hypnotherapy that she began to find her connection to a Creator in her life that she could accept and understand; one that was not presented as a kind of myth. All her core beliefs seemed to be met in the teachings of the Amer. Indians, a very Nature based spirituality that felt like home to her. Then as she became immersed in the study of spirituality for many years, she began to open her mind to a new world order so to speak. She worked with past life regression to enable her to find another way to find meaning in her life. Through all these endeavors, she opened her mind; with the aid of Guides and Teachers on this side of reality, namely myself.
And now you have a very little and much simplified version of the journey that led this personality to her present state of spiritual and political belief systems. Can you follow the progression of her awakening in both areas? We will discuss further her introduction to me as her Guide and Teacher at another time.
Little Bird, you may proof read another time. However, you can go ahead and publish this rough draft so that those who need to be exposed to these ideas will be… even if they need to return to read the corrected version.
We are well pleased. And a fond good evening to all…
October 27, 2011
We have two subjects to touch on this evening. Peachbird is very disturbed by resent political issues. So we will begin there. Yesterday she heard the news that the top 1% of your economic population has in the last 30 years had their income increase by 276% in the past 30 years. While the rest of the population has increased by a mere 40% at best. This is very disturbing to her. That is the worse scenario since the 1930s before Unions. There was peaceful demonstration in the large cities then as now. They were led by WWI veterans. Food lines were the order of the day. People were starving. Those Vets had been promised a bonus for their service, but it was not supposed to be issued until much later. The Vets and there families were starving, and they decided to peacefully demonstrate for the early release of those funds.
Just as happened in California yesterday, police were sent out to clear the areas where these veterans were camping out in a sort of cardboard city. Police on horseback moved systematically to drive the people out. They were followed by military tanks. The make shift camp ground was set fire. Yesterday a Marine Veteran joined the march. He tried to reason with the police officers sent to move the people out of the camp areas. He sustained a head injury which left him in critical condition. The people had been chanting the day before that Police needed raises as well as all of the 99%. The soldier had tried to reason with the Police officers sent to drive them back. He spoke to the wrongness of firing on unarmed people who were protesting peacefully.
Last night before last Peachbird did not sleep. She accounted this to the stress of dealing with insurance and benefits packages for her forced retirement. There seems to be an unending amount of paper work and red tape. This does disrupt her peace of mind. But the lack of sleep is directly accountable to the events happening yesterday. This she would not even have thought. She is aware that she will experience heightened emotion and or restlessness before Earth Change activities. But she has not been aware that she is much attuned to the political climate in this country. In any case she did not find sleep until almost midnight. She was frustrated that she was missing one of her favorite TV programs. She watches little commercial television, but there are some programs that spark the creative process in her personality. She slept until 3 p.m. this afternoon. That is 15 hours, but not so much as she missed. She had been awake for over 24 hours. She was not especially sleepy, but she was tired.
Now during that sleep period we had a lot of territory to cover on this side of her reality. We needed to make her conscious mind aware of the multidimensionality of not only her relationship to the Earth Changes, but the political climate as well. She is well aware now that she does play a part in these things whether or not she is physically involved as are many of you without your knowledge.
There is a collective consciousness that is very active in all areas of your development and Karmic responsibility. It is no accident that she is drawn to not only the present political and earth change climates, but the history of the world. She, as many, knows that if you do not know your history, you are doomed to repeat it.
Now on the second topic we will touch on here today, is the nature of your reality. As mentioned before, you are a multidimensional being expressing in many different realities at the same time as this one you are now a part. These realities are all interrelated. You have a purpose in each one that is personal, and you have a purpose in each one that is collective. You are constantly assessing these connections in the sleep state, some of you much more than others.
Peachbird is of the opinion that she has a strong connection to Nature and Nature Spirituality, which is absolutely correct. And, she always has through all her incarnations. She has experience in all levels of the social stratosphere. In some existences she has played a very public role. In others, she has been more reclusive as she is in this incarnation. There is still a similar purpose in all her actives. The more public one is, the more time your focus is into the physical realities. The more that you are working on an intuitive emotional level, the more chance there is that you are working more actively on this side of reality. You are in constant touch with both sides of reality as well as focusing into your physical reality. We are beginning to introduce Peachbird to the reality of her role in what is happening on this side of reality as well as her role in the present events and those in your so called future. She is just beginning an awakening process that is very much like the one connected to her Spiritual reality and her connection to Nature. This other is completely new territory for her on a conscious level.
Now there is a hurricane building just outside the Gulf of Mexico. Our little bird is perched right on the edge of one of those coasts. And she was as well as focused into the political disruptions also working directly with that storm. She is a busy person. But this is the path that she has chosen in her Soul Growth. We are well pleased with her progress.
Do you read those words, Little Bird? (here a deep rumbling laugh echoed through my mind… seriously) We are well pleased. Go now to lighter endeavors, and rest assured that there is nothing random about your experiences just now. Proof read at another time. There are some few areas that need correction, but you will easily be able to do it at another time.
Until then, know that you are well loved.
Thank you, Waban. I do feel as though I am at peace now, something I did not really feel for those waking hours.
October 23, 2011 (proof read)
Briefly I would like to touch on the Christ Consciousness which should be the basis of your Christian religion. Jesus embodied the secret of life as it should be lived so as to encourage the greatest amount of Soul Growth. And he preached this throughout his life time. The Christ Consciousness was much too great an idea for one entity to encompass. There was a triad of entities that embodied that understanding. The one was John the Baptist, and of course, Jesus of Nazareth, and Mary of Magdalene. These three encompassed the message that was to be added to the teachings of Judaism.
When Jesus spoke his Word, he did not ever claim to be God, nor did either of the other two. He spoke the knowledge he was meant to bring to this existence. John came before him to indeed make the Way. And Mary Magdalene came as the hand maiden of Jesus and his contemporary.
Never was Mary a whore, but so the powers that be within the church removed all trace of her spiritual connection to Jesus in your Bible. This was the work of a patriarchal church who worked desperately throughout the years to take away all that pertained to her. There are ancient manuscripts that will prove these words spoken here in time. The knowledge is well known, but the powers that be believe that it would be so contradictory of your Bible so as to cause major disruptions through Christendom.
These three entities came into this reality with the knowledge of which they would teach. Judaism had become beset with rules and laws that limited growth. As well there were many who were simple people and took for face value all that was told them. Much like some in the world today who follow there religious leaders into befuddled interpretations. So it was in that day. There were those who were unable to read; therefore, needed the spoken Word which was the primary goal of the Christ Consciousness. They very much were here to guide and teach, but not to create a new religion. Suffice to say that this is enough of this subject for now.
There are those who will say, “what about the crucifixion of Jesus?” That, my friends, was enacted on the other side of this reality. Recall that I have mentioned that there are many different ways to view your lifetime for self examination before entering another life time. One of those ways is to visit different portions of your lifetime that relate to one another. In this phase, you can revise and enter into only those portions that were of most interest to your soul growth and there you can correct and add to the experiences.
These three have worked together in many, many incarnations. None of the three needed to return to this plane of reality, but they agreed to do so in order to elevate mankind. They still work as Guides and Teachers for that purpose for they have dedicated themselves to that purpose. They work to rectify the misconceptions in the Religion of Paul in the name of Jesus. As I have said before, we set up circumstances in which to grow. And at times we set up situations to help the largest portion of the Soul Gestalts. And, I would remind you that all time is now here, so that your concept of time that we have lost is not such a concern here.
I believe this is enough information for most to digest. Do not be afraid of knowledge. It is not what you know that hurts you. It is what you do not know. Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.”
Well done, Peachbird, and a fond good night to you. Proof read at another time and enjoy your evening…
Thank you, Waban…
October 21, 2011
This morning I awoke to the good news that we are withdrawing from Iraq. I'm very proud of our President. He has "walked softly carrying a big stick." LOL This is what you have when your President is so smart he was President of the Harvard Law Review! We cannot afford another Bubba Bush, and that is Rick Perry. He's Geo. W. Bush in a Rick Perry suit and that is all he is. Romney will say or do anything to get in office. He is just a more polished Geo. W. Bush. The very fact that he is a Morman rubs me the wrong way. Joseph Smith stole his tablets from the Iroquis Nation. And they will not give them back. There were twelve. When they are all together again, there will be peace on Earth, and the Nations will return.
I’m eager to see our President in action this next year. He has my vote. I voted for him in the beginning, and I will again. We’ve had enough of trickle down economics that only trickles down into the pockets of the wealthy. Obama came from a middle class background. He understands the struggles of the middle class. He may be black, but he does not have the Ghetto background. Like myself, he sympathizes with the plight of the poor, but he is not a “Black” president. He is mulatto, half white and half black. He was raised with White grandparents. And he gives thanks for them as they helped to mold him into the man he is.
Someone said to me that in response to people asking why he voted for him and speaking derogatively about his race; he said he did not vote for him because he is half Black. He voted for him because he is half White. And I had to tell my Black colleagues and students that I did not vote for him because he was Black. I voted for him because he was the best man for the job. And he is still the best man for the job, IMHO.
October 19, 2011 (proof read with little or no corrections at all! This is one of the clearest channeling that I have been able to facilitate. I'm proud of myself.... and I thank you, Wabon!)
As mentioned below there is much that you do not know about your life after death experience from the dogma of your religious groups. The knowledge that was put forth in say, the Bible, was most relevant at the time of its conception. Throughout history, the Creator Energy injects into the physical plane spiritual/religious concepts. These concepts are such that the population at the time can comprehend. These concepts do not as popularly believed come straight from the Source. The teachings are brought into your reality by very advanced Guides and Teachers of Humanity who for lack of a better word specialize in the growth of the entire population as opposed to individual Soul Gestalts. So, these ones are at the pinnacle of a multitude of Soul Groups.
The entity embodied in the Christ Consciousness of the man Jesus was in actuality one of those very evolved Teachers. His goal was to enlighten the population of the day. But his message had to pass through the minds of men so that it did indeed contain distortions that emerge from the very fact that his message would have to pass through their own belief systems. Women of the day were much more able to understand his teachings, but as mentioned before, they were relegated to the level of followers as the religion grew. So no matter what you call the Source, He/She/It , was conceived and planted into physical reality to be a guide for living.
Just as any story that is presented to individuals becomes distorted, this was the case with Christianity and all of the major religions with perhaps the exception of Buddhism, where the message was kept more pure. In any case, Christianity was a set of religious ideals that was passed from mouth to mouth for 300 or more years. Very little of the recorded history has been found to this date. There are some documents that are still being translated in the possession of some those who are trained to do so. These are not being shared with the general public due to the fact that they do contradict to a large degree teachings that are being expounded today as gospel. In any case, Christianity is the religion of Paul, not of Jesus. Paul never ‘walked’ with Jesus as a matter of fact, again he was going by ideas passed down from mouth to mouth. From these teachings he built his religion in the name of Jesus.
Jesus did not come to change the law, but only to add to it as he proclaimed. If one reads the words of Jesus in the Bible, one will get a closer idea of its meaning divorced of the teachings of Paul and the modifications made by the Nicene Counsel when Christianity was named the State religion of Rome. There in it was decided if women would even be considered human beings. They won by a very small margin. This should give you the idea of the primitive concepts that were being expounded and decided upon by the Church. Much of the teaching was thrown out whole cloth. And much was distorted to suit the purpose of Constantine the ruler of the Roman kingdom at the time. Christianity moved from an egalitarian religion to a patriarchy at that time. All you have to do is look through the history from that time to even today to see the discrimination against the female gender.
I can hear some questioning, how could this happen with a religion that started out so differently. I imagine you are wondering how your Guides and Teachers could allow this to happen. Well, we do not allow it to happen per se. We do what we can to guide, but you collectively have free will to choose your path once you have moved into your physical reality. And we do not interfere in your growth once you are here. We do what we can. But you set the perimeters of your experience, and it is your job to manipulate them in such a way as to fulfill those said goals. And so it always has been and always will be. We watch humankind pull itself up from the depths of ignorance into an intellectual renaissance only to repeat the process again and again. The issue at hand is that you progress in an upward spiral, but we cannot interfere if you do not. Only after you leave this reality can we begin to aid in your growth process.
Now, much of this process is decided by those who are coming into a reincarnation situation. Again, on this level all time is now. The physical reality must function in linear fashion in order to make sense. Here you are so much more than you can possibly imagine. There, you are limited to the constraints of your reality. Some entities prefer the constraints required of a reincarnational existence for progress. They have been moving through this level of soul growth for times untold.
Those who choose this method of growth do so until they have exhausted all they can garner from this reality. Then they have the choice of either progressing to a different level of soul growth where there are no constraints such as the linear element of your physical reality. This is a much more complicated situation as you move back and forth through emotional and intellectual situations with others who choose this direction. You learn to manipulate your reality in completely different ways than where you presently exist. This is in some ways a more complicated reality, and in others a faster process where emotion and intellect are the governing body of reality.
If you have chosen the reincarnational path, then you must exhaust all avenues of learning from this experience to a level that you can choose another direction. Those who cross over to this side of reality, your so called death reality, must after some time mentioned below move into a sort of in-between space where you begin to plan your next experience. You may choose to go back and forth between alternative realities in order to garner as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. You are even now doing so to a degree, but not to the degree that it can be experienced. There are so many realities at your disposal even now, but you have chosen to focus in one direction and this holds true for the vast majority of entities. There are many different levels of existence that are functioning right as you sit here reading. If you can allow yourself to open your consciousness, you can get glimpses of these other realities.
Peachbird has mentioned that she hears voices like a radio coming from another part of the house on occasion. These are only brief seconds, but what she is picking up on is an alternative reality in which she is focused as a multidimensional entity. Other times, she catches a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eyes. And she has on occasion seen a long dead pet sitting in a familiar place very briefly or moving through her periphery vision. This is again her recognition of parallel realities in which she is focused as well as here. Her alternative realites are just as vivid as this one. Now that she has accepted these principles, she begins to experience them. At times she feels her late husband, daughter or father quite near her. The feeling is almost palatable. And that is because she is experiencing a reality where these ones are still in the physical realm with her. She is becoming very sensitive to these experiences. And as she trusts their validity, she will experience more such encounters.
There is constant bleed through between your alternative realities. Most often you experience that bleed through during your sleeping states. And that is a place where you can change your present reality, and often do. How often do you hear someone say, “I don’t know why I made that choice? It is so obvious to me now that it was not the best decision.” At the time it was indeed the best choice as it presented the most soul growth. Recall that is all this reality is… soul growth.
One might consider these existences much like playing some of the computer games and many other technological games that are springing up faster than an individual can fathom at times. Especially one as technologically challenged as our Peachbird here. *LOL* Are you surprised that I might LOL? We on this side are just as inclined to see the humor in situations as you there… in fact, much more so as we have a much broader sense of the why of things. I must confess that I do have a wicked sense of humor at times, and therefore, so does this little bird! Together we see the humor in most things though she is little aware that I am so close a part of her personae. In some ways, I Am she as we are part of the same Gestalt. She is my most personal incarnation at this time in her existence. In some ways, I brought her into being by ‘imagining’ her personae for the purpose of my own soul growth. All do this all the time. Then that expression of my personality will become an individual experiencing just as I do through her. You have no idea the wide range of realities and situations within those realities that you will experience. Your existence as well as my own is a grand adventure of which we quite literally agreed upon.
Enough for this time…. Good day to all…
Peachbird, you may post or save for proof reading as you so desire. Relax now and take care of personal business. We have covered a lot of ground and will do so again soon. A fond good day to you, my dear…. ;)
October 16, 2011 (10/17/11 proof read) I am not surprised that this original entry was hard for me. It is my late husband's birthday. Always these sorts of dates are hard for me.
As discussed in the previous entry you will face a judge, jury, and defendant and all those will be you, yourself through your entire Soul Gestalt upon crossing over to the other side into what you now call death. In reality, what awaits you on the other side is so much more than you can even imagine it to be. You might compare it to watching a movie in your local theater, and then watching that same movie in 3D. The difference is startling. Suddenly you are seeing dimensions you could not even imagine. The 3D seems even more real and alive than your everyday waking experience. Suddenly you are in the picture rather than just watching at a distance. This is just a rough idea of what you may expect on the other side of your present reality. There you will find that you are much more than you were in the physicality of your present world. You will meet yourself head on so to speak and you would be astonished at your perception of reality if you had not been in constant contact with this so called new reality for this is indeed your “home.” It will be as though you have stepped off a TV screen and into a world that is beyond your comprehension now just as the metaphor of the 3D screen is in contrast to normal screen. You will meet others with whom you have shared many lifetimes and you will rejoice in seeing them.
Now in the face of the common belief system many of you may be thinking of the Christian idea of a judgment that you feel sure you will be facing immediately after the cross over into this other reality that seems such a mystery to you now. You are expecting to be judged promptly and deposited either into a heavenly realm or cast into a fiery pit of hell. Let me assure you that this will not be the case unless it is so written into your core belief system that you cannot accept anything else. Then briefly that may be your experience, but you will awaken to “reality” long before you would be cast into anything that is not of your own choosing.
This question of right and wrong and good and evil will make all the difference as to what you experience initially. The reality is that when it is time to begin looking at your life’s experience, you will be fully aware of what you are doing and why. Then without fear you will begin your journey. Some of you will choose to view your lifetime as a rewind quite literally. You will look at and assess each incident good or bad from the stand point of the growth that you hoped to garner in the lifetime just experienced. Others will choose to pick out certain incidents moving back and forth through your life’s experience. You will want to see how a particular goal was accomplished as to the success or failure of that growth situation. You may only view those things related to that context. Then upon completion you may choose to explore another issue of importance to you. In either case, you will be facing yourself with complete honesty. There will be no rose colored glasses so to speak.
Many of you may be thinking that you have lived a pretty decent life. You are not afraid to face yourself with complete honesty, and you may well be right. The only probable here is that you have another criterion than living a decent life. You came to this physical reality in order to grow and learn. You set up perimeters in which you hoped to achieve these goals. Your task is to meet adversity and take risks within the perimeters of decency. You set up certain situations in which you could choose the right or wrong of a situation from previous incarnations. Your out come to be more than just an abstraction of right or wrong or good or evil. You made agreements with others to test your mettle in dealing with them in your own reality as you had done previously in other incarnations as well as the reverse. You put road blocks in your path and you created temptations that you were testing again and again. To test your resolve in a given situation… to prove your mettle, you set up situations for your own growth and that of all involved with said set of issues. You come into this existence with that outline and you cannot use the excuse that you do not know... that you are innocent of the right or wrong of your behavior. There is not one of us who are not aware of the truth that they are going beyond the boundaries of decency when it is happening. For that we have a conscience. And for that reason you cannot use ignorance as an excuse for your behavior.
There are exceptions to every rule, however. But on some level merely living in society has taught you right from wrong. Every single thing that you are experiencing is a growth situation. Unless, and I mark the word, unless… you are abusing another. It is not your destiny to add burden to another soul here for the same reason you are, and that is their own personal soul growth. Woe be onto those who obstruct another entity from accomplishing their own growth perimeters. Often you are part of their growth pattern as mentioned. You are supposed to learn your lesson and not burden others, but because you refuse to accept responsibility, then you will pay the consequences and very directly.
You are already facing yourself continually in the dream state. Dreams you recall are often distortions of that very activity; and therefore, give you very little insight into said activity as a rule. We will discuss this issue later on. Suffice to say dreams play an important part in your present reality, but differently than you might presume.
For most you will receive on the other side exactly what you expect. If you do not realize that you have crossed over, you will be aided in the realization. Often those who die unexpectedly are confused. For a time you may find yourself in the situation from which you have come. And then slowly over a period time you will be lead into the realization that you are indeed dead to your physical reality. Gradually you will be made aware of your situation so that you are not traumatized when you are ready to accept that reality.
Many of you will be expecting to meet old friends and relatives who have crossed over to the other side. And you may be surprised that some of these ones will be from other physical realities as well your Guides and Teachers. You may also realize that you have spent many experiences with others whom you are not aware of in your physical existence and these ones may be more important to you in the beginning. As I said before, you will spend a period of time in healing if that is what is needed. Those who are more aware of their experiences say in dreams and their spiritual awareness, will find the adjustment much easier. But whichever greets you, it can and will be a process without fear.
If you are expecting a heaven or hell situation, you may find that you will experience that. But only for as long as it takes for you to accept the reality of the situation as stated. There is no hell per se. The hell you experience may be the realization of as well as facing your failure to live up to your learning agenda. And it may be very difficult to realize that you have held back your Soul Group. Far worse, of course, will be those instances where you impeded the growth of another soul group. When you have passed through this period of realization then you will begin the assessment period in which you will decide where to go and what to do with your past experiences. But please do not think that death holds fear for you or anyone. It does not. You are in good hands for they are the loving hands of your entire gestalt whether or not you have “passed or failed your life’s lessons.”
I do stress as did the Christ Consciousness through the man Jesus, that you will receive what you have earned. And that decision will be made by you and your Soul Group as well as your Guides and Teacher. You will then follow into a period of contemplation where you assess your previous experiences against your goals. If you have injured another, your first order of business will be to make retribution for the damage done so to speak though it will not be thought of in those terms. You may choose to go back into physical reality very quickly in order to begin your retribution as quickly as possible.
Often an abusive person for example suddenly appears to turn over a new leaf and work very hard to repay the harm that has been done within a lifetime. Frequently individuals have this epiphany in the dream state and rectify the situation while still in the lifetime. One merely awakens and the realization comes to the individual that s/he has been committing a sin against a child or spouse or even a complete stranger or society at large and chooses to change right then and there. This does happen and can happen at anytime that a soul entity is able to face them selves squarely in the face. Remember, it is all about soul growth. It is much easier to rectify injustice during your life time here than after. So it is that one should strive to do so.
As the man Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” It is never too late to change.
Now I hear many of you saying, “What of a man like a Hitler?” Well, such a one will go through a similar process until he can accept that he has indeed left the physical plane. Then he will begin with his soul group to assess his life’s experience. If he is indeed the evil we think him to be, then he may spend hundreds of years in your time remaining dormant and alone with him self in contemplation of his errors. After this period of contemplation then he will return to the Soul Group to assess his advancement. He may very well choose to go back into the physical realm or he may choose to remain and work toward advancement on another level. This decision will be made with the consent of the entire soul group. There is no worse pain than to live with your self when you are completely aware of your transgressions and the effect it has on your entire Soul Gestalt. But fortunately for all here, there are as many different paths as there are individuals. You are all part of a Soul Gestalt and as such individual within that group. But we will not progress without the others. So it behooves one to go gently into this physical world and try to be a servant rather than an oppressive master.
This is jumbled a bit, but we have laid the ground work, and this can be proof read at another time. Publish if you wish, or wait until you feel comfortable. Either is fine. It may be that for some readers it is interesting to see the beginning and then the changes as they come in proofreading. In any case, I leave it to you, Peachbird. A fond good evening now…
I believe I shall publish without proofreading and return to that another time….
Now, dear readers, you see that we have made heavy revisions. In the dream state, Peachbird (This is the name that I have used in previous lifetimes with this entity, and it embraces more of her true personae than does any name she uses in this reality.) and I have worked to clarify this information. On some level she found herself confused and feared that she was "preaching" fear and guilt as the old time "holy rolling" gospel teachers she so disdains. In the dream state we were able to work together to ease her physical mind. Today she awoke with the resolve that she could and would allow herself to let this information flow through her and not of her... so to speak. With her complete agreement, we began the proofreading process and both feel that we have made steps to clarify the above material. I hope that you, the readers, will find it much more clear than our previous attempt. A fond good day to all...
October 8, 2011 (proof read) I had no idea I had typed so much in this approximate hour's time with some pauses for spelling errors and collecting myself. There is a TV program, Dr. Phil, on that I have been half paying attention to as well. lol Sometimes that helps me to let go and just give into the process. It also helps me to rest my hands a bit.)
Now, on the subject of sin, I do indeed hope that I have not given the impression that one can merely invoke the name of Jesus and be forgiven. The name of Jesus has no more power than the name of George. There is no power in invoking the name of anyone. You and only you are responsible for your so called sins or indiscretions. The Creator or Divine Source from which you come does not judge nor condemn. That energy only Loves you as a spark of that energy is within each one of you and all that surrounds you in Nature.
You were created perfect with all you need to be successful in your life; you need only to trust that.
When you wrong another, please do not believe that you can count on invoking the name of any of your so called Gods or prophets and receiving forgiveness. The only forgiveness is on the other side of this reality. There it does not matter who you are or what you have done, you will be judged. The judge, however, is the Soul Gestalt. In other words, you, yourself and no other will judge you. With this knowledge you must realize that there is so much more to you than just this personae that you assume in this existence. You are part of a Soul Gestalt that includes many, many souls... more than you could ever imagine. Upon crossing over to this other side there will be those there that have come to greet you and help you to make the transition from physical reality to this other dimension. That is the basis of the saying that the Souls of the Dead are here like the sands of the sea. You are only blinded to them by choice and the choice of all who are connected with you. And there are more than can be named.
Now it is good that you are repentant of your sins or indiscretions for lack of a better word . The only way to redeem one self in your present existence is to make amends and to never repeat the behavior. Making amends may be as simple as saying to yourself that you will never repeat a behavior, never allow yourself to take that road again. For road it is as in your path of life. You are here for one reason and one only and that is for Soul growth. And if you misuse this time, then you will indeed reap what you have sown. And it may be so many more times than you can even imagine.
The only way to stop the worst of these indiscretions is to stop the behavior in its tracks so as not to pass it down to the next generation. That is the power of the Soul Gestalt that you change so that all of your Soul Group is no longer moved or plagued by a certain behavior. Ten fold is the law that you acknowledge as the power of redemption for sin. I am saying to you right now that it is far greater a number and it will be repeated over and over again until the Soul Group has made the decision to stop the behavior. Notice I said to the stop the behavior not forgive. There is no forgiveness per se, there are only lessons. Some learn more slowly than others. That is the punishment for indiscretions depending on the power of that indiscretion. The only way a Soul group can grow beyond those indiscretions is for one to stop the behavior dead in its tracks. The power of that act is that all the Soul Group will learn that the behavior is inappropriate on one level or another. Upon acknowledging that fact, the Soul Group begins to change completely. That is the power of one soul.
There is a lightness of Spirit that may be experienced. Let me put it this way, if you awake to a day where you feel light and free and you have been feeling unexplainably afraid or weary of life; it can be that a portion of your Soul Group has learned and taken a leap into another set of values. I say a portion because no one is just someone. You are all many more Souls than you realize all inter-meshing like the cogs on a wheel. What one does effects the entire Group for either Good or Evil. So, it behooves all to follow the conscience or that part of you that is Holy and connected to the Source of all things. This great Universe is as small as a grain of sand, and the souls connected with it are as many as the sands of the sea.
Mark me well; no one will progress without the entire Soul Group. That is as it works. Everyone must rise above negative behavior or the entire Soul Group is plagued with the consequences. And again, for good or evil. But in this entry we are discussing indiscretions or so called sins. It is imperative, dear readers, that you understand the consequences of your action. And that you strive to raise your entire Soul Growth, because in the end you will be confronted by all of these. And they and you will be the judge, jury, and defendant. And the process will be very difficult if your sins have been many or deep for you will decide what if anything will allow you to progress. Perhaps you may make the conscious decision to start again and once more have the opportunity to raise your entire soul gestalt from the pits of ignorance into the light of renaissance.
No one progresses alone on the Soul Journey to perfection and then transition to another level of existence. This you need to understand. You can spiral in large loops or you can spiral in small elongated spirals, but you will not make it without the entirety of your Soul Group. It behooves you to think of that as you go through your days. Return love with love. For you most surely will return negativity with negativity for your entire Soul Group if you do not.
There are many of you here who have made the conscious effort to progress your entire Soul Group. You, of course, will not be consciously aware of this momentous decision perhaps. But these are the ones who are aware of their progress and strive to purify themselves, not unlike the Christ Consciousness. That Consciousness chose to return for the Karmic growth of all, not just his Soul Group, but all Soul Groups. That Consciousness came into this reality knowing all these things of which I am merely touching upon. The sad part is that like all religious disciples their teaching must move through the minds of man using the knowledge and conditions of said individual/s.
Rarely do we acknowledge that women have been spiritual teachers for the masses. Early in the Christian Church the work of women was nearly erased from the holy books to support the goals of patriarchy. Thus the female Consciousness has been subjucated to the level of pagan worship. I ask you, why would it be less likely that a woman could be a spiritual leader than a man? There is no reason whatsoever, but by the smallness of the minds of man. The majority of spiritually minded followers of all Christian denominations are women. That is common knowledge. But she is most frequently relegated to the level of follower, not leader.
Even as I speak through this channel, there is some distortion in the translation. There are times when she has trouble spelling a word for example. She most frequently types at a high speed, the only time she questions is when she does take note of a spelling error. Then she must stop and look closely at the word and try and correct what she sees as a mistake. If she would merely give this endeavor up to that chance then she would continue right along, and the errors would really be minimized. And they could be checked later when she is rested. This is her little bit of doubt in her ability to be a clear channel for this work. She types so fast that she is most often completely unaware of most of what we are saying. I say we because we are in collaboration. My communication must pass through her belief system. However, we have been working together for her entire life to prepare her for this moment. All these beliefs have been brought to her consciousness and she has accepted them as real. We have given her many, many validations for this belief system. And we are well pleased with her progress. What she has typed now is largely not within her memory at this time. But when she rereads it she will see that she agrees completely. This is the work that she has come here to accomplish.
There are times when she questions what she is doing here. She is amazed at the following she has. And I assure you that each person who reads these words is beginning a transition into another level of Soul Work. Even if you have minimal belief in what you read, the seed is planted. And that seed shall grow fruit. And you will begin to find validation all around you in ways that you have not in the least expected.
Alright, so as to let my Channel rest her fingers, we will stop for this time.
I know, Little Bird, that you thought that you had nothing to say. You started anyway, and then you opened yourself to my direction quite unconsciously, but I could not communicate without your agreement on some level. And I and we are well pleased. And I say we, because there are more than one Guide and Teacher for each of you. Just as you have many, many alternative soul realities, so do you have many Guides and Teachers. As do we all. I Am and always will be with this entity. As she grows, so do I as no one is ever finished with Soul Growth, we merely progress along the spiral of life each in our own time.
Rest now, Little Bird, find something that you enjoy and devote yourself to that. This is a tiring process as she is not quite trusting herself yet. With time she will become more and more confident. As well, she has arthritis in two of the joints of her right hand. That does become tiring. Good night…
Well, I could not resist coming back to see what we had done. And he is right that I do not recall much when he is in complete control of the discussion. I am vaguely aware, but that is it. Sometimes I remember what has been said, in others I simply do not. Though as he said, I do believe what has been written, and I have for a very long time. I’ll leave it at that.
October 9, 2011: It is always better if I wait until the next day to proofread, then it is easier to trust the intuitions that come through my mind and onto these words.
October 4, 2011
It may be very difficult to imagine how this works perhaps, the all time is now element. All lives are happening right now. We agree to the illusion of linear time here in this reality. As well we are all the captains of our own ships no matter how we feel we are at the mercy of the events transpiring, we are not. This is especially hard for me to say in the light of child and animal abuse. But we all have free will. The crime is when a person takes advantage of another as in child or animal abuse, because they will reap the fruit of their labors be it good or bad; which may very well be that they themselves are the very entities that they are damaging. When the helpless are abused, they have little choice in the matter. But in "time" that will change dramatically. It makes my heart ache to even think of such things, but then to put it here in type; it is even more traumatic to accept. But since all time is now, we are often taking the role of all those close to us so that not only are you torturing another, but yourself. I have never understood abuse on any level. And still I do not. But at least I feel that there truly is a sort of divine balancing system.
"Whatsoever you do unto these the least of mine, you do it also unto me." Jesus is attributed with this saying. And I can believe it to be so. But in light of my spiritual growth now, I know that the idea of Jesus is the Christ Consciousness which is within all of us. Therefore, whatsoever you do unto another, you are doing it to yourself as the Consciousness of the Creator. So indeed you are doing it unto the Spirit of Jesus the Christ that is in each one of us. I know that I have that Spark of the Creative energy that fuels the universe in me.... and it is as well in all things in Nature and the Universe. And it is in each of us writing or reading here. It's the pay back that's hell.... ten fold. I believe I will work very hard to correct my negative ways now, here, while I can. And the reason is that as I raise my consciousness, I raise all those within my Soul Gestalt which includes uncountable numbers of ME. For lack of a better phrase.
One Step for Man.... one Giant Leap for a Soul Gestalt! LOL I like that. I think it was inspired. Recall what I said earlier about all our realities are in flux? So it is. When you lift yourself, you not only lift your personae here, but all of them everywhere from one degree or another! That's worth fighting for...
(To be continued)
October 3, 2011 (not proof read)
The point I was trying to make in my last entry was that we think we are in control of our lives, especially our Spiritual lives. Or anyway, I thought I was in control of mine. As I was reading what I wrote below I was struck by the fact that rather than seeking my spiritual path, it seems to have been seeking me all of my life. And the way that it does so is from my conscious decision to allow it to be so. As well I am consciously in my sleeping state revising and correction my Path. We put on blinders here so test our Soul. And from this experience we decide if we are successful or no.
From the time that I was a small child I would look up into the night sky at all the stars, and I would wish that I could go home. I am sure that probably sounds a bit strange to most of my readers. But it is very true. I always found myself seeking the constellation, Orion, the belts in particular. It was not until much later that I learned that many of the Indian Nations believed that they had come from the stars. And many believed that it was directly from that same area that I was drawn to find in the night skies as a child and then all of my life until now. I can still get out of my car or stand outside for any reason, and turn and look directly at that constellation as though it was seeking me. It does sound strange to say it like that; I don’t think I ever have. But so it feels in this moment. I was also surprised to learn how important that same constellation was to the Ancient Egyptians. I found that it is included in many places as ornamentation (not without meaning) as well as a mosaic floor in one of the temples. I wish I had paid more attention to recall which one. My head is full of bits and pieces of things that I have garnered over the years! *lol* I have many life times in Ancient Egypt. In fact, I was told that one of those life times most closely relates to this one.
Perhaps my interest in that constellation would explain my interest in Science Fiction at an early age. My friends were all reading mysteries and love stories, and they held no fascination for me at all. In fact, I found them quite boring. And I never minded expressing myself even though I was very shy. I had a horrible time getting up in front of a class for any reason. Frequently, I would end up in tears. I’m not quite sure where that came from, but it did. I was very opinionated nonetheless, and could be moved to passionate defense of any of my many strong opinions. It was always hard for me to make friends. I had casual friends, but none that I was any more than casual with. In my later life, I learned I was very well liked and might even have been considered popular by some standards. I dated only the most popular guys in high school for example. That was a matter of principle to me. I would rather have not dated anyone than to settle for some one just so I would have a date. Fortunately, I was pretty, so it paid off in the end, I guess. I had to go all the way to California to find my husband, however; and he was the love of my life. I'm a widow, by the way. My husband and my oldest daughter died all too young. I'm thankful that I had two children left with me or I assure you, I would not be here now.
In any case, my fellow students seemed to understand my personality and accepted me as I was. It’s strange to say that now, because I never realized it when I was in public education. I never felt like I fit in anywhere. I felt like a loner then and I still do.
I’m very reclusive now, and I have been for sometime. I was exhausted from trying to keep up with my life, my continued education, and then my work. I ended up with a nervous breakdown just a few years ago. I was hospitalized and I nearly lost my job over it. But I hung in there. I’m not a quitter. It took all I could to keep myself going to work and doing the best I could to be a good teacher with the constant stress from the administration one way or another. I kept telling myself that I was not there for them; I was there for the students. They were what brought me there and kept me there. I know I made a difference with those kids. I loved them, and they knew it, most of them anyway.
For all the years that I was at university and teaching, it was a struggle dealing with Chronic Depression and the stress of an inner city school. I left a lot of people along the way, friends and family for the above stated reasons. After the hospitalization for the Depression, it was even harder. But now, I am in forced retirement. And I’m getting used to the idea, and slowly beginning to cope with my problems, depression being the greatest of these. Thanks be to the Creator for good doctors and depression medications. I would not be here, but for them.
I did leave a lot of people behind through those years. Now that I have time to begin to pick up where I left off, and I do stress 'begin,' it is tough. You really learn who your true friends are. They are the ones who take you as you are, and do not judge you for the past of which they know very little but from second hand knowledge. Family, well, family, God bless them, just don’t give up on you for long. And this I have learned. As well I learned that it is very so with Amer.Indian peoples to do just as I do in regard to friends. We don't say good bye for ever, we merely say it for this time. And when we meet again, we easily take right back up from where we ended. When I learned that I realized that it was my way. I never expected that my friends would be otherwise. I always thought we would meet on the same terms as we parted understanding that life works that way; like a spiral that meets and passes through time.
Those of my family are my best friends. And now I am going to get my act together and begin visiting again. My brother has been inviting me for years to come and visit, he lives in a small town near where I live. No matter how busy I am, no matter how many times I beg off; he dos NOT give up! God bless him. My sisters are very precious to me as well. One lives far away, and the other near. The one that lives the closest was always my best friend, not just my sister. We are very close in age. I treasure her love very much as well. And of course, I have nieces and nephews I love very much living all over the place. And my mom, who lives across the street from me; we are mother and daughter and best friends. She never ever gives up on me either. And we have shared that relationship all of my life through good and bad. Of course, my children are my first priority; and my beautiful grandchildren. They all light my life. All of these have stood by me through thick and thin. And I do love them all for it.
So now it is that you understand a little more about me. Of course, there is so much more than these things, but there is no need for them to be dwelled upon. I’m here. I’m doing well. And I plan to make the best of this retirement situation that is as soon as I get it all in the works and begin to adjust.
Besides this I am writing a fictional book and I plan to go back to painting. And all of these things shall be part of my spiritual journey. Everything we do here is part of our spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings, and we are here for spiritual growth; and spiritual growth only. Once we realize that then our lives are ready to change. And I guess that is what happened to me with work.
I realized in the last 3 years since my hospitalization that I was on a spiritual growth streak. I began to find that I could easily do things that never could I do before. Things that I thought only very spiritual people, like Indian Elders, and Tibetan Monks could do! Once I mastered some of those spiritual advances, then and only then, did I begin to see that I had been moving in that certain direction all of my life. I realized that I had reached some sort of pinnacle of growth. And strangely, I realized that I could have been doing the things I do at any time that I would have trusted and believed in myself enough to do them. And I am grateful that I finally figured it out.
Remember Jesus said that the disciples could do what he did and more, if only they believed that they could. This after a bout of walking on water that put the disciples in awe of the Master. As I said, I have no trouble whatsoever with the teachings of Jesus. It is what the churches from the first until now have done with that knowledge that I cannot reconcile with my spirituality. Christianity is the religion of Paul, not Jesus.
Some of the things I told you in the last entry may very well seem like bragging, I suppose. But they are not I assure you. I hope to be able to show you how I was able to do these things and how they relate through the Karma of alternative and parallel realities. I really don’t like the word Karma, because it calls up images of lifetime after lifetime of suffering for your sins in a linear fashion. And that is not it at all. We are as I have said over and over as well as my Guide, Waban; we are living all these times right now. Nothing is frozen in time. It is all and always has and will be happening right now. Exactly right now no matter how it seems otherwise. So that what I am doing right now is part of that intricate puzzle that intricate web of souls all around and through us, our Soul Gestalt. We are always in flux... always in growth patterns. We put blinders on and go on our merry way down a Path that at the time seems the only direction in which to travel. Sometimes we take fast and furious detours or turn back and begin again, but always we are dancing that spiral that leads us to the Source which is only onto the next level of our Path.
Right now, I’m running down. So I will stop for now. Thank you for reading…
October 2, 2011 An introduction to my spiritual journey. (Proof Read)
I recall my first real experience with reading for pleasure was in the 3rd grade. We read a story, “The Troll under the Bridge.” It was the first time that I really thought of reading as something that I would do for pleasure. I had a hard time learning to read as well as to speak clearly. I had speech classes for an entire year during my 1st grade.
Later as an adult I learned, quite by accident, that I had a hearing disability. My hearing was being checked as part of the application process for a job. I was only 18. The woman testing kept going back and forth with sounds and I was to push a button when if I could hear the sound. Several times she said, “Are you sure you can’t hear that?” I told her no that I could not hear anything. She continued to test. It became obvious by the way she was looking at me and the blank spaces between sounds that something was up. I had no idea and did not think anything of it really. Finally, she asked again verbally if I was sure I could not hear the sound. I told her that I did not hear anything. She then told me that I missed a level of sound at voice level, but that I heard much lower sounds than the average person. She said that it was probably not unusual just that she had never encountered it before. She said it was just an accident that she happened on that level of sound as the testing was random. As well she said that it would be like a learning disability because it was at normal voice tone level. “I’ll bet you had a hard time learning to read?” was her next comment. I agree that I had. And that I had taken a full year of speech classes in 1st grade. She said that would make sense as well.
In those speech classes, I sat in front of a mirror with a teacher. I had a mirror to hold in my hand as well. When I faced the mirror I was told to watch how her lips moved and try to copy that expression which I did. Some of the time she would have me face her and watch how her lips and tongue move when she made certain sounds. I was to copy the movements of her lips and to try to make it sound like her voice. By the end of that year I could speak plainly, but I did notice that I moved my lips differently than most of the other children when talking and enunciated differently. I became very adept at reading lips. Between the lip reading and the low register of sounds that I heard, I was able to hear and understand people that others could not. That was like a form of a handicap as well, because People say things about you that they would not say if they knew or even thought you could hear and or read their lips. On the one hand, I would have to ask someone to repeat something that everyone else heard, but for me. And on the other hand, I was hearing things that most people did not hear. It wasn't until I learned about the hearing situation that I started to put things together.
So about 3rd grade I began to enjoy reading for the story, not struggling over learning the words and how to pronounce them as well. I will never forget that story about the "Troll under the Bridge." It frightened me and excited me; because I also learned that I could visualize the story as well. So the story was much more interesting to me than my classmates, it seemed. It was at that time that I also learned I could draw. The teacher wanted us to draw a picture from a story about a frog on a Lily Pad. I asked if I could copy one of the pictures, and she said she did not see why not. I did, and it looked just like the picture; so much so that she took it around to all the other teachers to see how talented I was.
Those two incidents changed my childhood. Suddenly I was good at not one thing, but two. I read voraciously; and I could draw very well. By 5th grade, I had pretty well devoured all the books in our classrooms and those the teachers got from the library. We made a trip to the School Library, which was at the high school. All grade levels were located in that one place. When I got into junior high, we had a library in the school. Anyway, I was going to say that I got a special library pass to get books from the main library during 5th grade and on. So once I devoured all the books that interested me at our jr. high library section; I started back to the high school. If I ran over to the high school, I could have time to find a book and keep watch for my bus coming there to pick up the high school students. I was reading Junior High level books in the 6th grade and would have gone into the high school section, if I would have been allowed. When I got into High School, I was in book reading "hog heaven!" *LOL* I carried a book everywhere I went. And when I was reading a book, I took on the attitude of the main character. My sister said she used to notice that I was different some of the times, but she never thought about it too much. As well I was considered the class artist. Any time there was anything to be done artistically, it was given to me. I was quiet and shy, so it was my pleasure to be thought the best at something!
Another interesting thing came to my attention during driver’s education taking tests with a learning device much like a video game now. From that experience I learned that my vision was 20/15, so I saw what the average person saw at 20 ft. when I was at 15 ft. As well I learned that my reaction time was much faster than the average person. It was hard for me to learn to drive despite these nice exceptions from the norm. Later in life, I would learn that my body temperature was lower than normal as well as well as my blood pressure. As the years went by and I did more research into my Amer. Indian roots, I learned that it was probably directly related to that ancestry.
Okay, okay… as usual, I’m getting off track… that’s easy for me to do.
The main point I was going to make was that most of my life I have read everything I could get my hands on. My subject matter was varied, but I always enjoyed different time periods than the one in which I live. I never cared for simply a love story that seemed like a pure waste of time and did not challenge my mind in the least. Past or future was much more interesting to me. In high school I became interested in the paranormal and supernatural subject matter, an obvious jump from Science Fiction. Once I devoured that subject matter, I moved into the metaphysical literature which I assure you was limited in a high school library in a small town. From there I began comparative religious study along with the spiritual metaphysical subjects.
Once I started exploring book stores, which meant I had a job; my interests seemed to change. I still loved all the subject matter I always had, but now books began to jump out at me. And invariably those books that literally grabbed my attention often even before entering the bookstore were spiritually orientated. I devoured everything that jumped out at me. And always it was like it was something I needed to know right at that period in my life. Sometimes it would be that I had been wondering about a subject or an idea relating to spiritual matters or other growth subject matters. Other times it would be an introduction into a completely different thought process. I still liked novels and still do, but most of the time the ones I read seem to endorse a belief system or idea that I have been pursuing mentally and or spiritually.
I have grown used to what I need to learn becoming available to me even through garage sales or thrift store visits (wonderful source of all kinds of things for a reader and an art teacher). I began to take it for granted that if it was something I needed to know, it would be made available to me without much seeking. And it is still this way. You cannot begin to image the Art and Art History books that have popped out at me during all my university period and as an art teacher.
I do believe that this was my source of “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Sometimes a teacher is a stranger or a relative, sometimes a formal teacher, and other times they come in the guise of books. After a time, now precisely, I find little of the metaphysical spiritual genre that I have not already read and internalized in my lifetime. So, I was told that there comes a time when you have learned to a degree that it is time to begin to give back. So that is what I have been doing for the past years as an art teacher and now as I write these entries. I am merely passing on what I have garnered from all that I have found over the years... those things that speak to my soul in a right way so that I have a "knowing."
Now I spend my time communing with Nature for the same reason. And I don’t mean that I sit in meditation for long periods, I don't. Though there was a time when I did. But I do talk to the Thunder Beings and hug trees for the same purpose. *LOL* I have taken the way of the Amer. Indian to guide me in this practice. And I feel as well that my Celtic heritage is as influential as my Indian heritage. Grandma always said, “The blood will tell.” It took me a long time to realize that she meant Indian blood and without her knowing, genetic memory.
As an adult I spent a long period of time going to seminars and trainings in all kinds of metaphysical, spiritual subjects from Indian spirituality to healing techniques. I listened to Indian Elders and I worked with hypnosis for about 10 years before I began teaching. So these are the things that have made me who I am as a spiritual being.
And I continue to learn, but as I said in a different way than I had for most of my life. Now I hear my name in the winds. I hear messages from the Thunder Beings, and I can ask for weather changes or modifications, and I will be answered most frequently. Sometimes there are things that just cannot be changed, but they can be lessened. And I know that I am one of those who works in this way. So I listen to the wind, I listen to the lightening and thunder, and I listen to the messages from trees and rocks and animals as well as birds. It is like all of Nature speaks to me now. And I am full....
And so it is, Little Bird, so it is….
September 27, 2011 Politics as Karma (proof read and corrected Sept. 29, 2011 ~ more proof reading and clarification Sept. 30, 2011... I should have just begun a new entry; but it seemed that the clarification needed to be right here with these words.)
Are politics subject to the laws of Karma? Yes, most surely they are. Karma is the law of do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In other words, if you hurt someone with intent, then you are doomed to repeat the offense in a way that you are not the perpetrator, but the victim. Many of the Bible truths are made much clearer in light of the Gestalt Soul Groups and parallel and alternative realities.
I know this is a different take on the Bible phrase, but my Guide assures me that it is making the meaning more applicable than our current definition. I have made note here in my entries that you cannot love anyone else if you do not love yourself. So, in other words you cannot love thy neighbor, if you cannot even love yourself. And one nation cannot help anyone else if it cannot help its own. And I do believe that is some of what we are seeing now in this country.
You cannot buy the world's favor with money and other kinds of aid. They don't respect us. They know we have our own problems, and we were too proud to accept assistance after Katrina when other countries offered. It's an insult to not gracefully accept what is given in charity and affection. You insult the giver and those who need the help. As well, you say that we are better than you, and therefore, don't need your charity. It makes us foolish.
We are no longer the richest country in the world. Own it, Politicians. If you don't like it, then do something about it instead of merely feathering your own nests; and then watching this country deteriorate in the name of the almighty dollar.
We send aid and our military all over the world to help others when we have 46 million… yes, million people living here in poverty. I’m sure I hear some of you saying this is impossible. But, no, it is not. 400 individuals make more money than the rest of us ALL combined! And yet, they do not believe they should carry their weight in regards to taxes. In fact, they don't think they should pay anything at all which is what they are doing now. I’m appalled to think that 46 million Americans are making $22,000 a yr. for a family of 4, and less! It’s the “less” here that really bothers me. We are supposed to be the richest country in the world; and we have these statistics hanging over our heads? 46 Million People, try to imagine that.
Charity begins at home. And by that I don’t mean that we should not help others in need, but I do believe that we should be helping our own first. We could easily educate every child in Amer. right through college, if we made that our priority. And that alone would bring up our economics, because those highly educated minds would bring back our economy merely with the force of their combined knowledge. We should be making jobs here, not sending jobs over seas. We should be proud of our country, which would mean that we want us to be the strongest and the best in the world. We surely cannot do that when we have 46 million people living in poverty. That's a third world country within our own.
What happened to American Pride? I don’t mean your average guy out there wearing an American Flag pin. I mean what happened that the more affluent of our country did not care about what happened to the rest? What happened to loving your country no matter how wealthy you are? Right now Corporate America owns our politicians, both parties. And they are working desparately for a Corporate Dictatorship. They almost have one now, but in name only.
I hope most are familiar with the phrase that ‘if we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it.’ What is that but Karma in action? If you consider that we are experiencing many different realities, some of which are alternative to the one we are experiencing here and others are parallel realities that we would consider other life times. So, Karma takes on a much broader meaning. There is the karma of individuals, nations, political groups, religions and any other group you can think of in this country. And that includes gangs. Image the karma some of these guys are racking up.
We are all here for one reason and one reason only. We are here for Individual Soul Growth and the advancement of our entire Soul Gestalt. And we are not going anywhere without the rest of us. So it most surely behooves the wealthy to recall that they are more than just a rich man trying to enjoy his wealth. But some where in the scheme of things they are also a man living in poverty. And if he wants that reality to change; the place to begin is right here, right now. And I say that because negative karma is the hardest to pay back. I think it is something like 10 fold. I think most religions say that. That is why a rich man has no better chance of getting into heaven than through the "eye of the needle."
(An aside, this eye/needle business refers a small opening in the walls that surrounded cities in the time of Jesus. You could go through the Main Gate, or you could pay and slide through the small hidden gates called the "needles eye" due to the relative size compared to the Main Gates and the Wall itself. A rich man could not even sneak through those gates. The rich man could not even find them as they themselves were very well known for being wealthy and would be recognized as such. They would lose their lives to the thieves there who would gladly take their money and anything else they could get. Interesting, yes? Remember what I said in earlier entries about knowing your history as well as the idiom of the day? If you do not know your history, if you do not know the meaning of words in the time you are referencing... in this instance, the Bible; then you have no chance whatsoever of truly knowing what it says or means. And you are doomed to make the mistakes of the so called past which now we know to be right now as that is all there is.)
So, my prayer to All That IS, Great Mystery, is that we learn to love our fellow man. Truly, so that we might love ourselves if not here then in so many more realities that we cannot even conceive in our wildest imagination. (That does not mean that you should love the serial killer who slaughters complusively or the terrorist who sends a youth into a well populated area to blow up and kill as many as possible. But what is does mean is that you must love and respect yourself so that you might be able to deal with those individuals in a correct way without so much hate and anger yourself. All of my life, I have been for the death penality, but now I see that it cost more to apply the death penality than to keep a man in prison for all of his life. And some of those men on Death Row have been proven innocent with the DNA techniques we have now. A time will come when it will not be the case that a person innocent has not the chance to prove himself so. But until then, we must administer justice in the best way we can to insure that those who are truly guilty are punished appropriately. And I have to confess that I feel there has to be a proper punishment for a proper form of criminal behavior. And that justice should be the same for all. And again, this goes back to karma.
Karma is alive and well, but not in the way we once imagined. It’s in a much broader scope, and it affects all of us. No one is immune anywhere in the Universe. As a matter of fact, we are all experiencing it as I type and you read. Everyone of us have alternative personalities who are experiencing many many different aspects of this same one we are living right here and now. I don't know about you; but I sincerely hope that I am spending more alternative and parallel realities experiencing good karma over bad.
I am not religious. I refer to those touch stones because most are; and I want to give a basis for understanding and I have spent a goodly amount of time in comparative religious study. I consider myself spiritual. I believe in God, but I do not believe that I can put a face on that Power. I think it is so far beyond my conception as to be a total mystery. Thus we say, Great Mystery. I believe Power from that Entity is within everyone and everything. And it is a power for good. But we have to be open to the Direction that Power leads us. And most surely, it is in the direction of good; not evil.
My prayers are in Nature to that All That IS, Creator, Great Mystery. But most usually, they are to my Guides and Teachers that I may be a more perfect channel in my life for the good of all. I try not to deliberatly hurt anyone. Sometimes we do without realizing, but I hope that is less than more. And as I grow older, I become more and more reclusive. More time do I spend in communion with Nature. More and more do I listen rather than question. And all around me Nature is ready to speak. I always get the answers I need talking to a Tree or the Thunder Beings. And of course, from my Guide, Waban.
And yes, it is time to share, Peachbird. We are well pleased. Indeed we are well pleased.
September 27, 2011 (proof read and almost completely rewritten)
(I hate talking politics so much, but what is going on in this country is scaring me. It's really getting strange... if you ask me, and even if you don't.)
Well, here I am for political discourse again. I admit I did not seriously watch the GOP debate. But I just heard that when asked who believed in Science, only one man raised his hand; and he is NOT one of the front runners. For God’s sake, they do not believe in Science? What about Math, do they believe in Math? How about History? Do adults in this country really believe that man was riding dinosaurs 6,000 years ago? If so, I think I know where they got it! *light bulb moment* It must surely have been from the old kiddy cartoon show, The Flintstones! It certainly was not from School Science classes!
How about global warming? I prefer to call it Earth Changes. I don't think a single person in this country cannot see that something definitely is going on. Drought with forest fires here, Earth Quakes there, Hurricanes bringing torrential rain with flooding, and more rain with more flooding. I don’t see how anyone could mistake this for normal weather in this country, not to mention the rest of the world. 98% of the world's scientists agree with this assessment. That means only 2% do not, in case you don’t believe in math. And I suspect those 2% are being paid royally to say just that.
I’m sincerely worried about a country where a large percentage of its inhabitants do NOT believe in Science! Our archeologists and scientists have carbon dated this planet to be not thousands of years old, but millions, and maybe more. What is this… chopped liver? Are 98% of scientists playing a wicked game on the rest of us. Are they getting some kind of sick pleasure from making us believe these incredible things? I don’t think so! It makes no sense at all. This is like being told that the world is flat! We have come a very, very long way since then... one can only hope. And the average human being should have the commonsense to think beyond that concept. But apparently, our GOP candidates do NOT! And what is even more insulting is that they think they are representing a large number of our population! That means you and me, We, the People!
I know they don’t believe in education, because they have been dumbing ours down for over 20 yrs.! It’s just insane. Even now when they are touting the TAKS test as the be-all for education, they are still dumbing our children down. What gets taught is how to take the TAKS test. When our children are tested against the world in content not only do we fail; we fail dismally! So this is still dumbing down our students in the name of helping them catch up. Where did this test idea come from? Right here in the Lone Star State of Texas! And who is in power in the Lone Star State? The GOP! In fact, they have this state gerrymandered until the only way a democrat could win in order to change things is if almost everyone in the state votes for him or her.
And Rick Perry, he is just George W. Bush in a Rick Perry suit! If I wanted someone to go to the corner bar and have a drink with, I MIGHT like it to be him. I doubt it seriously though! If I want a man for President, I don’t want him to go to the corner bar to have a beer. I want him to be so damned smart that the corner bar would not be on his mind! Because when I am voting for a President that is not what I am looking for either, I’m looking for someone that would be too damned busy running my country to go have a beer with me, a rank stranger.
We definitely know that Perry has not been the Job Czar he claims. His jobs have been government jobs at minimum wage and other minimum wage jobs. I hope most of us are dreaming of more than a minimum wage job, because in this state they are talking lowering the minimum wage! Chew on that. This is the nominee that wants to get government out of all our lives. In fact, he plans that for immediately. And that means lowering the minimum wage for the whole country. They are working desperately to break the unions, and that's the only thing between us and unscrupulous Big Business. And if they can break the unions, then they will not worry about us. They'll do whatever they want. We need bargaining rights. They're trying as well to get the child labor laws changed so that teens can work longer hours for less. I don’t know about you, but I find that appalling and third world country thinking. And I don't know about you, but I also want to know that my water, air, and food are safe. I want to know that my drugs are a good quality. I want federally funded schools. I want my post office just the way it is; I don't want it privatized. I don't want insurance companies managing my health care instead of my doctors. I pay taxes for all these things, and I want them! And everytime we privatize anything, it becomes more expensive not less!
In other words, I’m not willing to turn this country over to Big Business to run. We know how they do that. The bottom line is profit, not people. This kind of talk is insanity! And it is carrying us down the road to Corporate Dictatorship. And trust me, that is exactly what they want. Then we will be a third world country. And don't think it can't happen, because it most surely can. All we need is Dick Cheney (Halliburton) or a Rick Perry (Big Oil) in the White House to see that happen. Cheney ran the country; Bush was a figure head for powers much smarter than he including his own father. They put the ball in motion, now all it needs is a good nudge over the edge; and they will be running everything just as quickly as they can legislate it. And trust me, they will legislate, but it will be take away our freedoms rather than add to them. The only reason they want government out of our lives is so that they can get into them big time!
We have the GOP asking for one thing in one state as far as voter propositions and exactly the opposite in the other! In other words, they want to legislate whatever will get them elected not their platform for anything. In one state, they want gerrymandering, in another they do not. The first one is gerrymandered in their favor, the next one is not! Gerrymandering is the reassigning of voting districts to favor one party over another, in case you don’t believe in History either. Texas voting districts look like impossible blobs of not unlike a very elaborate puzzle. Not that easy one, but the ones that have such weird shapes that it is almost impossible to find by the pictures.
I just pray that people wake up and listen to what they are saying… and then think about what that really means! This gets frustrating. And I do believe that almost all Americans are smart enough to believe in not only math and history, but science as well!
Listen closely, Children, or you risk being fooled by the carpet baggers (Civil War History) of our political system. Over the periods of our history, humanity goes from periods of intellectual superiority (renaissance) and then plunges back into darkness (the medieval or dark ages). Always we are in control of this process by giving up our power as individuals. We must learn from our history or we are doomed to repeat it. I hope we wake up in time for I see us moving back into the darkness once more.
And I don’t want that for my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I want to leave them a clean planet in which to live. I want them to become more and more educated until no one can say that they did not learn to read or write. I want a world for our children that we can be proud to leave them. But this will only happen if we remember who we are and how to be in the world in a right way.
This is our Karma, children, we must remember who we are, and we must leave this world a better place…not worse! Or we watch our world disappear into the darkness of ignorance.

I have been busy sleeping for the last couple of days. I’m sleeping for about 6 hours, then waking for a couple of hours and going back to sleep again for about 4 or 5 hours. That makes a 10 - 11 hour sleep period, and sometimes more. I credit the need for extra sleep as recovering from a stressful working period.
I taught in an inner city middle school. There was enough stress with the children where discipline was concerned. More support from vice principals would have taken care of that problem. Indian or no, I was simply another white face as were the Hispanic teachers. And though nothing was ever overt, there was a lot of the other kind of stress. I always said that I was not at my school for administrators or the faculty. I was there for the children. Even so the last few years were very stressful. I had a 4 year Art Grant for which I was the liaison. I brought a lot of things to my school through the grant, but I needed support from faculty for documentation. It was like pulling hens teeth to get it. Everyone seemed resentful that I was given the position. I was the only Art teacher, and had much more time than the theater or band teacher, so I was the logical person. When I was the just plain Art Teacher I got along with everyone. But as the Liaison, I was suddenly “the red headed stepchild.” With the extra work, faculty attitude (thanks be to Creator, not all teachers; but the majority), and my regular duties; I was very stressed out.
So, though this retirement is forced due to budget constraints at my school, I’m glad for it. Fine Arts teachers are expendable. I could find another job, and perhaps in time; I will. But for now, I feel like I am recovering from a long illness.
Now, in talking about the sleep periods, I have read somewhere than sleep specialists say we do better with a divided sleep period. And my Guide, Waban, says the same. It gives the body time to recuperate at healthier rates. As it is we are over sleeping due to our societal constraints for work periods. Keeping the body at rest for too long is actually injurious to the health of the body. When I have been off work in the past, I find that I fall into this sleep pattern mentioned above. I feel certain that I will reduce my hours of sleep in time. But on the other hand, I know that I am doing work in stabilizing areas of the planet. That work transpires largely during my sleeping state. Although I do work in my waking period, it is not as intense.
Have you ever awakened feeling like you worked all night? I think sometimes that is the case. But more often than not, we are not at all aware of the work we do on the other side of this reality. Nor the plans and changes of course that are accomplished in the sleeping stage. Though we come into this life with a rough plan, everything is subject to change. We have free will. Free will means not only here, but on the other side of this reality. We are in constant flux as to our life’s purpose. I am sure every one of us has had a plan, and then suddenly we reject it completely for what seems like logical reasons or none at all only that it feels better suddenly to do something else. That is often a conscious decision made with the aid of our Guides to bring about what we are here for; and that is Soul Growth not only for the individual, but the entire Soul Gestalt.
There we go. That is enough for now… I’ll proof read another time.

Wow… I was on a roll there Tues. LOL I can get very uptight about politics. I don’t mean to offend. But if you come here and I’m talking politics; then you need to know that I am a progressive and proud of it. I don’t know when it became a dirty word to care about people and the planet.
I see as well that I channeled a lot of changes to the Sept. 17th entry and it is much clearer as a result. I understand what Waban was saying about the visions in the corner of my eyes. It does seem to happen when I am very focused in something. It will be like a flash as though someone moved in my peripheral vision. Most of the time, I don’t pay any attention. But of late it has been mostly out of concern that I might be having eye problems. *lol* Yeah, that’s it. But I am always aware that I am sensitive to many things. And I have opened my mind spirituality to so many things that I should have thought it might have been related.
For a time, I would be very focused into watching a TV program or a book, and it would look like a small shape ran across the room. When I would try to focus on it, it would disappear. At first it seemed weird. Was it literally my fears disappearing in this reality? I was not sure. But recently, I have seen that shape move quickly, and I have really gotten the impression that it is one of my pets who died. Well, more than one, but several. I think those cats and dogs sometimes want to be near me… or they are alive in an alternative reality. And now after what Waban said about these streams of consciousness and the fact that we can tap into them, I'm believing that might be the cause.
It’s like if I am not thinking about what I’m seeing, like watching a TV show; I let down my guard and I am not so focused into just this reality. I guess it is like I am so focused into the entertainment, that I can allow those other realities to bleed into this one. Could it be that I am watching the same program in another reality, and that pet is still alive there? There is a lot of food for thought in this area. It’s all new to me, but I’m going to try to relax about it. I’ve learned the harder you try, the harder it is. You have to relax and just let it happen.
Okay, enough... I'm tired, and may not be making good sense! LOL
