Making and Empowering "Moon Cords"
Dr Raven Dolick MsD

Moon Cords
The idea behind moon cords is to embrace and preserve specific
attributes of moon power which are available during a specific moon phase. These attributes are directed into a length of cord and held there by knots; thus the attributes are available to the witch at any time.
For example: you may wish to perform some magick which is
appropriate to the waxing moon. Ideally, you would be wisest to wait until after the moon is new to utilize the most compatible energies for your work. But what if you have good reason not to wait, and what if in linear time the moon is actually waning? No problem, if you have prepared a new moon cord, you can draw upon the new moon power at any time of any month.
You can prepare a cord during each phase of the moon, and thus, have available to you the power of each phase. However I strongly suggest that you use the cords only when absolutely necessary, and try to work with the phases of the moon in the sky whenever you can.
TO PREPARE A MOON CORD:
Use a length of colored wool, or embroidery thread about two feet
long. You can have five different colors if you prefer and prepare
five cords: new, waxing, full, waning and dark. Or you can simplify matters and use three colors for three cords: new and waxing combined, full ( alone ), waning and dark combined. I find it sufficient to work with three.
To prepare a cord during the appropriate Moon phase, Light your
goddess candle and sit at your altar or work table- or go outside.
State alignments, and call on that aspect of the goddess who rules the phase you wish to put into the cord. This is called charging the cord.
Thus for the new and waxing call upon Diana; for the full call upon Selene, for the waning call upon Hecate. It's a good idea to use your athame for this, as the process is related to drawing down the moon.
In a sense, you are drawing her down for each phase to enter your cord, so you may draw a pentagram over the face of the moon, or over the candle flame which represents her, and trace a line of power from the moon or flame into your cord, stating words of power. EX: (fill in appropriate Goddess name for each moon phase) State alignments then add:
"By the one power.
working for and through me
I hereby call upon you, Diana,
To enter this cord with your power
to charge this cord
enter this cord
for the good of all
and according to free will
for the work of positive magic only
To aid me in my work
at the appropriate times,
According to your will
as these knots are tied."
Then tie nine knots in the cord, placing them equidistant from one
another and use the ninth knot to tie the cord into a circle. then add:
"So mote it be"
Place this circle on the altar encircling your Goddess candle, and
leave it there for awhile, meditating if you wish on the phase of the moon with which you have charged the cord. When you feel your work is complete, wind the cord into a compact little entity and enclose it in a tiny pouch or box. This is kept on the altar. It is best kept near your own tools. When you work with a moon cord either hold it in your hand or place around your goddess candle, as you do specific magic for which you need it's aid. When you are finished, put it back in it's holder. You may take it out and hold it under the moon during it's name phase, to recharge it, but this is not absolutely essential.
There is no drain on moon power, such as with a battery. The power is in the moon cord to stay.

FROM RAVEN'S NEST Feb 25, 2015
We Are All Spirit Communicators—All the Time
We are all Spirit Communicators—all the time unconsciously broadcasting all kinds of "messages" to the Universe, and all the time unconsciously receiving messages from the Universe that is everything and everybody, including you and me. It's not just the visible "out there" Sun and Moon and distant Stars, nor the invisible spirit...s in higher dimensions; we too are spirit. Inner and Outer, we all are made of the same stuff, at the foundation of which is Spirit, the universal "subtle element" that is the source of all the other elements manifesting in both visible and invisible dimensions and both inner and outer levels. We, and everything physical and non-physical, all possess "spiritual" qualities and are, in fact, mostly composites of physical/etheric; astral; mental; causal; and spiritual substance, spiritual energy, and spiritual consciousness.
You Are—Potentially—A Power House
Each living person incarnates Body, Mind, and Spirit, and Feeling, Will, and Purpose within a single multi-level vehicle. Each person is a "power house" of near infinite potential, but, most people are barely "awake" at the physical level of conscious awareness, and have little control over the non-physical levels of feeling, thought, and will. Our bodies are alive at the deepest and most minute quanta levels, where we are constantly broadcasting messages from and between body cells and organs, and radiating it all from inner selves to all selves everywhere.
In addition to receiving these messages from all other people, and the natural and spiritual worlds around us, we also receive and automatically respond to a constant flood of physical stimuli and radiation, inducing emotional and unconscious mental "meandering," generating nerve impulses, producing stress hormones, and compounding chemical agents that lead to reactions in the tri-level brain (one part of which is divided into two halves). The brain is all lit up, but for what purpose? Without intention those messages serve no purpose—they are a waste of your energies and injurious to your long term health (and "wealth").
Reacting Without Thought
Mostly, if not entirely, we react without thought or full awareness to physical events. Our attention is drawn to news stories of crime and disaster, to political and "religious" grand-standing, celebrity-studded entertainment, crowd-thrilling spectator sports, and the bizarre antics of young people in search of their personal identity—all tending to produce unintentional emotional reactions with unforeseen consequences to our own health and well-being and in our immediate family and social environment, and the world around us.
We react unconsciously rather than acting consciously with understanding and intention, and don't even know the difference. We react because most of us are "asleep at the switch" and don't know it—and don't even know where the switch is. We're like a hot race car: all gassed up, engine roaring, and no driver, no map, no guidance, no flag to drop. Our physical self is up, the potential for greatness is there, but the only direction to go is nowhere. You have to wake up, understand who and what you are, discover and activate that switch, and take charge of your own life. Don't let others—not their institutions nor their automated systems—rob you of purpose and your precious assets and life energies for their self-serving benefit.
Know, and Take Charge!
It's all very complex, yet you are the one who can understand and must take charge, and the fact of reaction vs. action results from what little you really know about yourself and the Universe in which we all live and have our being. But you must decide that you want to know about both, accept the facts that you are more than a physical body, that your real self is the actor, that you live in an interrelationship between your whole self and the whole universe and all there is.
Your acceptance of this defines your Attitude towards Life and your relation with the Universe, and your attitude reflects and incorporates your knowledge and becomes your own inner Belief System. No belief system imposed from without by Church or State, or Parent or School gives you the knowledge and strength to be an active partner with the Universe around you and thus enabling you to become more than you and all you can be. You, each of us, is the Microcosm to the Macrocosm; we are all that the Cosmos is, but on a different scale and still lacking the whole knowledge and awareness to become full partners in this universe.
It's the Small Things That Count
The modern world is a New World of Mind & Spirit in a New Age of Higher Human Consciousness. It is a New World of what we increasingly know of our own Body, Mind, and Spirit, of the world about us and within which we live, and of our role with the Universe. The "World" is bigger than we are, but it is the small things that control bigger things. Modern Quantum Physics reveals a fundamental dimension of smallness that switches back and forth between manifesting as Particles or Waves, Matter or Energy in response to human attention and intention. In other words, each person does have the power to introduce change at the most fundamental levels of Reality as she or he lives it.
Every cell in your body has consciousness and awareness of its purpose within the structure of your physical body. That consciousness is a manifestation of Spirit, and through the disciplines of Mind and Emotion you can willfully communicate through Spirit to heal the body and extend its lifespan. But, the more you know the deeper you can go and the better you can do these things, and more. That's the value of the full range of the Yogic Sciences—not just the Hatha Yoga of gym studios. It's not just physical control, but emotional control, mental control, spiritual control, and life control that must become your goal. That's the value of gaining the full range of psychic empowering skills, and the value of gaining the full range of self-empowering knowledge and understanding.
All Big things are built from small things. Big things may be beyond your control and direct influence, but small things are not. Small things are points of leverage from which you can influence and change Bigger things. No, you can't change the entire world all by yourself, but you can plant seeds that can grow and perhaps reach other people and "start the ball rolling" to bring about corrective changes in those big institutions that are out of harmony with the natural world in which we live and the fundamental cosmic purpose of individual growth and evolutionary development.

Meeting Your Twin Flame
When World’s Collide
Meeting Your Twin Flame
Meeting Your Twin Flame
Many of us know who our Soul Mates are. But do we recognize our other half? Our Twin Flame?
This is a new concept to many of you I am sure. But as 2013 gets underway and your opportunity for growth and spiritual evolution expands, it is time to get ready for the ride of your life.
Your Twin Flame awaits. But be warned it ain’t necessarily gonna be a picnic.
Each of us has between 6 to 12 Soul Mates ranging from siblings to spouses to teachers to lovers to friends. Our Soul Mates in this life are the people who support us and whom we are closely connected with. They probably have a lot in common with us and are always there for us, understanding, encouraging and sharing every step of the way.
Our Soul Mates feel familiar to us and this is because more often than not we have had several life times together. In each life time we meet up again and replay our connections, sometimes more successfully than others. We cannot avoid our Soul Mates. Indeed our lives would be pretty empty and meaningless without them. These deep friendships and bonds are what makes life worthwhile. Together we always have the opportunity to transform ourselves and clear the karmas and controversies of previous times.
The purpose of connecting with Soul Mates is to learn, share and grow together. We would find it hard to manage without them. Yet as our spirit develops and changes sometimes we are tested with a letting go process which can be quite difficult and painful. The good news is, these trials and difficulties often pave the way for the real humdinger of a connection – our reconciliation with our Twin Flame.
So if you have been having a hard time of tests and changes in the last couple of years, take heart that a very worthwhile relationship is more than likely just around the corner. As the Year progresses, all roads lead to this magical point. It is where we should all aspire to get to and this is now what many of us will be lucky enough to experience.
Of course many people are in established and happy relationships with their Soul Mates and young families and they do not need to be reading this with a hint of panic. Sometimes the Twin Flame thing is too much for some. This is okay. If it is meant to happen it will do so and if it is not then life roles on, no harm done. What will be will be…

But the reality is that the times ahead will accelerate our lives in ways we have not yet anticipated. There will be unpredictable and unanticipated changes as the energies change. The planet does need more and more spiritually conscious people to get busy on its behalf. This why the Twin Flame thing really could stir the pot and take you by surprise.
Just remember you have free will and you have choice. Even when confronted with your other half, you can just say no if you are happy in your current situation. Just be very self aware if this happens to you and double check that you are not in some kind of unhealthy denial about who you are and whom you should be with.

Twin Flame will stir you up to look deep within. Can you handle it?
Our Twin Flame unions have the potential to be a whole world apart from what we have experienced to date. Other worldly in fact! These advanced spiritual soul mates shine a light on us and reflect all our issues back to us in spades.
Twin Flame relationships are the ultimate challenge. They inspire great healing within but if you are not ready to shift all of your nonsense, dramas and negative patterns it is very unlikely you will ever be lucky enough to fully connect. The Universe only tends to allow this union when both parties have gone through a whole lot and are ready for a whole lot more!

So have you met your Twin Flame yet?
The chances are you have not. These are rare connections and many Twin Flames are in spirit rather than walking the earth plane. Or at least this has been the way of it for aeons.
Up until the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, it was very common for your Twin Flame to support you in spirit. You see your Twin Flame is a completely independent and autonomous unit. Yes, they are your other half; the other part of you. But equally they are whole in themselves and can get by without you.
The chances are you will only connect with your Twin Flame when you have reached such a level of independence within yourself that you can actually manage quite well without them.
This might not sound very romantic. But the Twin Flame connection is so powerful that it is about spirit and soul much more than a mere physical connection; though that is all included if you are lucky enough to hook up in this life time.
Many people connect with their spouse or main Soul Mate during childhood. But it is really not very typical for Twin Flames to connect during childhood. Typically both parties have to have evolved to a certain level of consciousness or vibration before the universe allows the connection.
You do not happen upon your Twin Flame in a casual way, nor do you go out of your way to find them. It is quite simple, when the time is right you find each other.
It is very common for a Twin Flame to be in another country or another continent and very unlikely they will be living in your neighbourhood. Because this is primarily a spiritual connection, the universe likes to test things by keeping Twin Flames apart for quite some time. This is the union of two mature souls who have probably been to hell and back and who have finally found each other and suddenly it all makes sense.

This union is everything you have wished for and more. It is mutual and reciprocal; not unrequited or one sided; not dysfunctional or co-dependent. There is really no separation from your Twin Flame. They are a part of you, even now. Chances are they are waiting to find you even as we speak.
So how will I know if I have found my Twin Flame?
The beauty of this connection is that usually there is a strong telepathic link that dispenses with the need for words. You do not even have to be alone in the silence. Tune into the universe and see what impressions you start to get about your Twin. Do not assume that they are a lot like you. Often times their role is to compliment you, so they may well have had quite a different life path up until the point when you connect.
The universe will start to give you very definite clues in the form of synchronous coincidences. There will be subtle signs which you may well resist at first because you will not quite believe what is happening. There will be magic in the air and yet you may feel some resistance too. Sit loose to it all with a wry smile on your face because of course there really is no panic. You will feel quietly confident and assured deep within. This all makes complete sense as they are your twin. They have been wanting to connect with you just as much as you with them. so why sweat it?

So what are the odds of connecting with your Twin?
God only knows: literally. After all they are one soul in a sea of souls. It is possible to put too much emphasis on finding your spiritual Twin.

Twin Flames? IF we are meant to connect with our Twin Flame in this life time we will cross paths soon enough and both parties will just ‘know’. There will be no doubts. Like magnets drawn together in a compelling, unavoidable way the nature of the Twin Flame relationship is undeniable. It leaves no room for analysis and doubt. All the ‘will he or she’ torture is nowhere in sight.
The down side is that your Twin Flame may indeed be in Spirit in this life time. But as we are in the new groove this is less likely to be so than it would have been aeons ago. As the magical energies building towards 2019, many people will finally connect with their Twin Flame. This is all part of the divine plan and encourages the spiritual evolution of the planet. The babies born from these unions will be something else!
Remember that connecting with your Twin Flame may well be challenging. When you initially connect – after the inevitable fireworks – you may feel some resistance and adjustment. This is only natural. Hooking up with your Twin Flame is a major reality check that can be more than a little bit uncomfortable. It is often like dealing with a part of yourself you have chosen not to look at for quite some time.

This all makes sense in a way. Connecting with your Twin is like looking squarely in the mirror and seeing the naked truth warts and all. No one is pretending that this kind of connection is going to be plain sailing. There is also quite a high chance that your Twin may be coming out of a relationship in which they have had to fulfill certain karmas. So, there will be adjustments on all sides.Of course the things in the way of this magical connection ultimately work to confirm its validity. The challenges heighten mutual determination but only if it is the right TIME for this connection. Bravery is required on both sides.
Connecting with your Twin Flame does not usually follow the same pattern as the straightforward romantic falling in love process. It surpasses the traditional romantic images of strolls on the beach hand in hand, candlelight dinners and gazing at the stars - it is much more of a crazy rollercoaster ride. Enjoy!

Practical Tips To Attract your Twin Flame into your life:
1) Eliminate clutter and create space.
2) Create the right conditions to magnetize your mate both within and without: Enhance your living environment with attractive decor.
3) Ditch the past within and without: Let go and embrace the void for a while if needs be. You need to be strong and independent to attract your mate.
4) Clear Obstacles: Release all evidence in your environment that you might be hanging on to the past.
5) Identify and Clarify: Tune in and get a sense of what your Twin Flame might be like. Feel what it would be like to be with them. Magnetize your feelings and trust yourself to draw the right person to you.
6) Love connections: Fully appreciate and experience your Soul Mate connections first. Sort out issues with your nearest and dearest.
7) Forgive yourself past mistakes and do not anticipate you will repeat them. With your Twin Flame you definitely will not do so.
8) Maintain a vibration of love, spirit and openness to all. Prepare your heart and be ready.

What many of you are looking for in another - compassion, understanding, and love - you will find first in your connection to your Higher Self. You will be able to create rapid positive changes in your physical body, and gain greater skills in healing yourself. Your Higher Self is limitless. It is not pulled down by the denseness of the earth plane, and therefore when you meditate
AS your Higher Self you begin to receive much inspiration, love, oneness, and guidance.
Your higher self is a dynamic, growing life force consciousness. It exists in a realm where all beings are united as one multidimensional consciousness.
Your higher self knows why you have the challenges that you have, your higher self is the essence of who you are. It is the wise teacher within you.
I will now type out a meditation of how to meet your Higher Self. For this meditation you can be sitting or lying. It is preferable if you lie on your back with a book under your head and your knees slightly bent towards your body. If you wish to sit, the make sure that your feet are firmly planted on the ground.
Then Close your eyes and take a deep breath. (Into your navel). On the in breath imagine a clear pure white light entering your body from above and exiting (going through your body) into the ground. This is a very general cleansing, you can adapt this so that you clear each chakra at a time if you wish.
Then move your awareness to each body part individually. IE, toes, individual toes, sole of foot, calf muscles, thigh muscles, back, arms , fingers, palm, etc. Make sure that when you become aware of the body part that you consciously relax it. The chakras are energy points that allow you to link to your spiritual side. there are 7 major chakras, and several minor, (IE your hands and feet)
These major chakras are, Base, Spleen, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Forehead, and the crown / top of your head.
The base charkra is at the bottom of your spine. Its color is red. The spleen chakra located neat the spleen is color orange. The solar-plexus chakra is just above your navel, and is color yellow. The Heart chakra is at your heart and is green (or pink). Your throat chakra is at the base of your throat and is blue. The brow / forehead, third eye chakra is purple or indigo. The Crown chakra is at the top of your head and is color violet.
When you become aware of each body part, make it relax. If you find that it hurts then breath light through your mouth and into the body part. Allow total relaxation. Do this until you feel peaceful, focused , and physically comfortable. Total relaxation is dependent upon how aware you are of your body and how easy you find it to let go of each body part. Adjust your posture if you
need to, so that you feel the light that I pulled into your head flowing more easily through your body. up and down your spine. Straighten and lift your upper chest on an in breath, do not push this, do this so that your back is slightly straighter. this aids your emotional body and thinking in higher ways.
The next step is to ask your spiritual guides to be present. To do this you can say it aloud, or think it. Ask that their presence be felt so that you know they are there. Feel the joy, love, and peace surrounding you, they are here to help you. If you feel uncomfortable or blocked, just relax a while longer until you feel the negativity going away. Breathing the light is essential to help your energy flow.
Now, its time to meet your higher self.
Imagine your higher self in the distance, beginning to come toward you. You can picture your higher self in what way feels most comfortable to you. Greet and welcome your Higher-Self, invite it to come closer. Mentally ask your Higher-Self to assist you in making your connection to it stronger. Feel the radiance of its love surrounding you and embracing you. Feel lines of light
coming to you from your Higher-Self, and as these lines touch you,feel your vibration increase.
You and your Higher Self now begin to merge and become one. Feel your molecules and atoms merging with your Higher-Self, as if your reclaiming a part of your energy. Let your Higher-Self merge with you even more until your energy patterns are taking on the radiance of your higher self. You and your Higher
Self are now one.
As your Higher-Self, open your breathing to create a greater flow of energy in your body. Adjust your posture so that you are sitting as your higher self.
As your Higher-Self, adjust your shoulders and chest to reflect your confidence and your wisdom. Think of a situation you want guidance about. As your Higher Self , you can give yourself advice about any situation. Imagine that you are a wise teacher, consultant, what advice do you give your self. You may want to speak out loud, or write down your answers. Ask you Higher-Self,
(you) if you have any other messages, maybe on your spiritual growth, your higher purpose. You have effectively met your higher self now.
This is a place where you can do many many other things. You can send energy to friends, create new positive situations around your self, you can heal your body. In this state you may see many forms of light around you. You may speak with your guides, and ask them if they would like to give you a message.
You guides can take you to places of learning that are not on this earth, and you can learn much. To come out of this state, it is best to do it slowly.
You must become aware of each body part but this time move it a little. Breath deeply and just accustom yourself to your environment again! You have done it! You have been and met your Higher Self.

Science Mysteries
Are The Realities of our Future
Science mysteries are, by definition, phenomena that are known to exist but cannot be explained sufficiently enough to be classified or understood by science. There are many things that exist or occur outside the realm of our understanding or even our ability to formulate ways to try to explain them, yet they are there before us. Unlike science, spirituality does not have the requirement to define itself through factual method so we tend to sense and feel our way around the spiritual aspects of the world, and this sensory awareness becomes an experience that acts as its own proof of something beyond us. On the other hand, science puts itself in the difficult position of having to acknowledge the existence of certain phenomena without having the ability to prove the how and why of that existence and it cannot rely on belief or faith in order to do so.
We rely upon science to act as our gatekeeper to reality and when we come across these science mysteries that defy our ability to neatly catalog and classify them, the realm of spirituality begins to shape the reality for us in defining science mysteries. When we reach the limits of what science can explain we enter a realm where subtle nuances define the meaning of things and we tend to understand through perception and awareness in the absence of factual data. For instance, science does not know what it is exactly that makes us the person that we are. We understand that there are a multitude of elements that make up life and our personality, but we don’t understand the interaction of these elements within the unconscious processes that influence who we are and how we interact with life around us. We have identified multiple neural networks that move information and instructions throughout our bodies and there are multiple systems of such networks operating within us to give shape to who we are, but we have no way of measuring the details of how these networks and processes work, let alone isolating where they exist, how they came to be and exactly how they interact to form our unique being. When we allow ourselves to understand that these things do in fact exist within us, regardless of our inability to actually define them, we can begin to feel the process of acceptance occurring, and through this process we can sense and know that these networks do exist and the requirements of tangible proof give way to our ability to know through our sensory awareness, which is something that cannot be measured scientifically. In this way, spirituality has a definite value when it comes to defining certain science mysteries.
It must be said that even though science might not have the ability to explain all the science mysteries that exist around us, it is not an indication of failure on the part of science, but merely a realization that we must continue to grow and advance ourselves along in order to discover solutions to the challenges that present themselves now and in the future. This can become daunting when we realize some of the challenges that await us. We do not yet fully understand what the meaning of life is, and this is a reality of both science and spirituality. We cannot begin to come up with answers to this puzzle because we must first define what the actual questions will be that we will search for answers to. Science cannot solve an equation that will place the formula to the meaning of life on a chalk board for us to study. We cannot define the meaning of our lives in concrete terms that can be cataloged and memorized because life doesn't work like that. Science can well determine the physical elements that make up life, but the sum of these elements cannot define the meaning of their existence as a whole any more than a group of single cells can define the entire makeup and personality of the body that they belong to. Life remains a certain mystery that can never be solved in such a manner because it is more of an enigma to be wondered over and awed at rather than dissected and categorized. Life and its ultimate meaning for each of us is not a puzzle to be solved but rather a journey to make. Scientifically, we really don’t even as yet fully understand how life came to be and our theories are evolving as more information makes itself known to us. Our concepts of how the universe began are even now being challenged and reshaped as information and our beliefs evolve. The Big Bang theory is being challenged as well as other explanations as to how many of the things around us that make up existence actually came to be and why. We don’t know what Dark Matter is, but we know it exists and we also are aware of Dark Energy, but that too also remains a mystery. These are fundamental blocks of our existence and our best scientific theories still fail to adequately explain either their meaning or why they exist or even how they exist. You cannot put Dark Matter on a slide and place it under the microscope and you cannot hold Dark Energy in a jar and observe its nature. The question is how can you ever determine what these things truly are when you can’t even determine ways to measure them? In this sense, it is not hard to understand just how difficult it can be for normal, everyday people to delve deep into the mysteries of the meaning of life or the formation of the universe and our context within that vastness when our best scientific minds have difficulty reaching consensus on such matters.
Again, these scenarios are not a failure of science to discover fundamental truths about life or a lack of spiritual maturity in understanding these concepts, but perhaps they are a phenomena that has no solution as of yet. Perhaps these science mysteries and spiritual puzzles are things that exist and can only be defined in our future. It is a notion similar to traveling by car at night on an isolated highway. Off in the distance, the lights of a city can be seen in the night sky long before we ever come close to it. We cannot see the city in the darkness yet we are assured of its existence by the aura of light that is projected into the night sky. We cannot define its size or true location or its appearance until we progress down the road and get closer to it. The city is there but we cannot define it as of yet because it remains something radiating from our future, and only our journey to it will answer those questions. If we think about the path to discovery in this manner, we can theorize that certain science mysteries will remain outside of our understanding until we progress further along the path toward them. Perhaps we are not yet ready to receive the secrets of the universe because we still might be in the infancy stages of our ability to understand the things around us and our science mysteries are merely cities in the night waiting for us to discover the road that leads to them.
The inability of our science and spirituality to define all things is by no means a failure on our part nor is it an indication that the universe and its mysteries are something that we can never fully understand. Our search for the answers to these science mysteries are a call to acknowledge the steps we have taken and build upon them and grow and learn as we progress along, and this becomes a challenge to the generations who will follow. It is a sign post that warns us against becoming complacent with what we know and reminds us to constantly move forward in our quest for understanding. The mysteries of today will be the realities of tomorrow as long as we always continue on the journey toward discover, always aware that we discover what we are ready to receive.

Secrets to Spiritual Awakening
Nov 11, 2013
All rights reserved
In response to our many clients and the present earth energy I felt compelled to post this.
"God is there only if you surrender. Surrender makes anything God.
Surrender gives you the eyes, and everything that is brought to these eyes becomes Divine." ~ Osho
To be enlightened is to be aware of the Divine within yourself. To be lost in life is to forget that you are sacred, holy, and an exquisite being of light who is deeply loved.
To remember this sweet succulent paradigm is not hard to do, in fact it happens easily and naturally when we become radically honest with ourselves.
When we decide to realize that this is the real truth and it is available right now, we peel back the layers of lies and fabricated beliefs we have about ourselves and create instant access to our natural enlightened state.
At the core of every atom is God, and we cannot ever be separate from that. To argue against this idea is to resist having perfect clarity.
To ignore it is to ruin your chances to draw upon the unlimited possibilities eagerly being born for you in each moment. Your greatest potential you have is awaiting for your acceptance. It is already here now.
You simply need to invite it in and integrate it into your life.
When it comes down to describing it's very essence, the Universe you live in is a highly sensitive super intelligent field of pure conscious energy.
Your level of connection to this field is ultimately responsible for whether you struggle through life, or learn how to sit back and really enjoy the journey all along the way.
The Universe has already established a very deep and intimate connection with you. It already knows everything about you.
The Universe knows what you crave, what you resist, what you habitually avoid, what you're addicted to, and what you truly yearn for yet don't allow yourself to have.
This conscious Universe knows what you want, the very instant your desire is formed.
The Universe is soooo attentive, constantly here by your side, assisting you in every possible way to manifest those practical results you desire, guiding you towards the sweet dreamy life you are destined to have.
When you can fully accept this idea that you're living in a highly intelligent divine conscious Universe that loves you, stuck in a playground of divine proportions, something magical begins to happen.
An ocean of possibilities starts opening up all around you, and you realize how amazing life actually is!
You understand how EASY it is to manifest ANYTHING you desire. This idea seems to get you very excited about simply being alive.
Through your deepest connection to this super conscious loving Universe, you naturally begin paying more attention to who and what you are.
You start noticing that you have an exquisite awareness inside you, that is watching, listening and paying attention to every single moment of your life.
You start to become aware of awareness itself, becoming a more conscious awake person, who listens closer to what your innermost thoughts and feelings truly are.
The wonderful thing about increasing your state of awareness is that there is an inexhaustible supply of it. The more you can tune into it, the bigger it becomes, and the more amazing your life gets!
With more awareness, the critical judgmental condescending mind cannot continue.
It begins to fall away because you stop entertaining it and believing that it exists at all! You start paying more attention to the things which only make you feel good on the inside.
You begin noticing that your life is ripe and ready for you to pounce on it, and experience it in its grand totality. You see there are no "shoulds" or "should nots" in life.
You fully accept others the way they are and yourself as you are.
This attitude blossoms a profound, peaceful understanding that things are divinely perfect just the way they are.
Waking up in life simply happens the more fully you are being in this moment.
The more aware you become of this moment, the more you realize that life is happening for you, and not to you.
You begin to become "pronoid" which is the opposite being paranoid.
You truly feel that the Universe is conspiring in your favor, and you know how intimately the Universe cares for you.
There is an acceptance that every thought sailing through your head is a sacred mysterious gift for you to unwrap and unravel.
In the awakening mind, there is a finely attuned awareness of your listening.
Your ability to hear the deeper message increases, and you know each message you receive is the perfect feedback you needed to hear to assist you.
You realize that all the thoughts which come out of conversations with people, emails, media, and "random events" in the outer world are all awakening gifts from the divine.
"Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind,
and it will be flooded with light." ~ Nisargadatta
One of the most powerful ways to instigate this spiritual awakening is to take on the challenge to simply relax and enjoy each moment of your life completely.
I know this sounds ridiculously simple, yet there is a constant push of tension and intense energy coming from the modern world. Acquiring the ability to remain in a relaxed receptive body and mind all day long is extremely powerful.
The more deeply you can relax into it, the more specific information you can pick up, and the easier it becomes to manifest the life of your dreams.
The more you can relax into this divine conscious energy that's abiding in your awareness, the deeper becomes the knowing that you are a super powerful manifesting being.
If there was a first step for everyone to truly "wake up" in this lifetime, it would be an outrageous surrender to our pure state of awareness in this deeply relaxed body.
This is a deep dropping into who and what we really are. We have to give up wanting, needing and yearning for life to be different, to free the mind enough to simply drop into the divine core of our being.
It is deeply peaceful and powerful and will change the way you see everything and interact with everyone.
At some point in life, the suffering will stop happening to you.
Life will change it's game, and you'll be forced to release your constant longing to do more, be more, have more, and find a way to simply be content with each experience of your day as it is.
Everything becomes interesting from this place.
Yet, the most interesting thing is that this non-achieving mindset contains the most magnetic, attractive and powerful manifesting energy available. It holds the power of pure creativity and realize we can manifest anything our heart desires.
The deepest transformation of our lives cannot happen from pure will. It occurs naturally and spontaneously by simply remaining curious 24 hours a day.
Remaining conscious that this divine and powerful awareness that is merged with the whole forever expanding Universe is what's here now.
When there is a deep relaxation into the core of your awareness, into the center of your being, this huge shift simply happens.
You become vigilantly aware of the type of habitual thinking that you've had for lifetimes, and are able to shift out of it. You become a supremely conscious being who is aware of your biggest truth and what beliefs you need to release to radically expand your experience of reality.
You become extremely receptive and open to new ideas, people, and places, knowing these help form new insights as to the specific actions you need to take for your soul's greatest spiritual awakening to occur.
When the "waking up" process begins, you feel as if you're falling in love with life, your Self being the center of it. You are deeply intrigued about yourself, paying very close attention to how intelligent, loving and guided you naturally are.
This natural state of self love changes the greatest thing of all. Your mind naturally and effortlessly starts entertaining ONLY the positive thoughts, and gently ignores the negative ones.
You are soooo wide awake that you couldn't imagine believing a negative thought to be true.
Through your awakening you become a gratitude factory for life, constantly overflowing with happiness, trust and kindness.
You find your mind naturally decides to be grateful about the food you're eating instead of complain.
Your mind tends to trust that things will work put perfectly in your future, instead of worry.
You choose to be honest about the tiniest little things, instead of pull out a white lie.
You naturally appreciate others for who they are being, and tell them this to their face. There is a fearlessness about life, and also a more humble undemanding approach to life as all your relationships become your greatest teachers.
You simply become a happier more satisfied human being as a result of this constant expansion of consciousness, and as a natural by product, you become an even stronger manifesting magnet for what your heart longs for.
"I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing.
I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give itany name you like. " ~ Nisargadatta
The more aware we are of our awareness and how its connected to the entire conscious Universe, the faster and easier we wake up.
We come to trust in the amazing consciousness within us and know it's guiding our every move.
There is this perpetual letting go and "letting in" experience, which is the foundation of trust in it's most raw form.
This is the final key to unlocking the spiritual pathway for the Universe to enter your heart and guide your life in each moment.
This level of trust is amazing, as it will deliver every desire you want to have in life with effortless joy and ease.
The more you can trust in your own power and connection, the more you'll feel and know yourself as pure creative conscious energy who is unstoppable in anything that you decide to take on.
Yes, you are unstoppable! Take this thought in deeply. Rest with it deep inside yourself. Allow the calm quiet awareness that's connected to your breath inhale this idea all day long!
Let yourself feel unstoppable in everything you desire in life. You CAN have what you want, yes you deserve it!
This is how powerful this connection is to the Universal source. Try it. You'll quickly train the mind to let go of any old fears, negativity and lower vibrations that may be lingering deeper inside you.
When we are truly awakened beings, we seem to be not of this world. We can simply visualize what we want, feel we are receiving the physicality of it, know it's coming our way, and it magically manifests into our lives.
There are no real limitations or boundaries unless the mind believes in them to be there. Instead, we find there is this natural enjoyment of every moment of our journey.
The awakened being is piercing through the mind's judgments about others, and receiving warm fuzzy feelings from the Universe in it's place.
There is a knowing that we are all divine and totally loveable human beings exactly the way we are, and have truly nothing to fear.
There is a relaxed mastery over the mind, a feeling of oneness with all of life, and we find that life itself is the greatest miracle!
All of this and much much more is discovered by simply enjoying each mysterious new moment of life, exactly as it is.

If there was a first step for everyone to truly "wake up" in this lifetime, it would be an outrageous surrender to our pure state of awareness in this deeply relaxed body.
This is a deep dropping into who and what we really are. We have to give up wanting, needing and yearning for life to be different, to free the mind enough to simply drop into the divine core of our being.
It is deeply peaceful and powerful and will change the way you see everything and interact with everyone.
At some point in life, the suffering will stop happening to you.
Life will change it's game, and you'll be forced to release your constant longing to do more, be more, have more, and find a way to simply be content with each experience of your day as it is.
Everything becomes interesting from this place.
Yet, the most interesting thing is that this non-achieving mindset contains the most magnetic, attractive and powerful manifesting energy available. It holds the power of pure creativity and realize we can manifest anything our heart desires.
The deepest transformation of our lives cannot happen from pure will. It occurs naturally and spontaneously by simply remaining curious 24 hours a day.
Remaining conscious that this divine and powerful awareness that is merged with the whole forever expanding Universe is what's here now.
When there is a deep relaxation into the core of your awareness, into the center of your being, this huge shift simply happens.
You become vigilantly aware of the type of habitual thinking that you've had for lifetimes, and are able to shift out of it. You become a supremely conscious being who is aware of your biggest truth and what beliefs you need to release to radically expand your experience of reality.
You become extremely receptive and open to new ideas, people, and places, knowing these help form new insights as to the specific actions you need to take for your soul's greatest spiritual awakening to occur.
When the "waking up" process begins, you feel as if you're falling in love with life, your Self being the center of it. You are deeply intrigued about yourself, paying very close attention to how intelligent, loving and guided you naturally are.
This natural state of self love changes the greatest thing of all. Your mind naturally and effortlessly starts entertaining ONLY the positive thoughts, and gently ignores the negative ones.
You are soooo wide awake that you couldn't imagine believing a negative thought to be true.
Through your awakening you become a gratitude factory for life, constantly overflowing with happiness, trust and kindness.
You find your mind naturally decides to be grateful about the food you're eating instead of complain.
Your mind tends to trust that things will work put perfectly in your future, instead of worry.
You choose to be honest about the tiniest little things, instead of pull out a white lie.
You naturally appreciate others for who they are being, and tell them this to their face. There is a fearlessness about life, and also a more humble undemanding approach to life as all your relationships become your greatest teachers.
You simply become a happier more satisfied human being as a result of this constant expansion of consciousness, and as a natural by product, you become an even stronger manifesting magnet for what your heart longs for.
"I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing.
I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give itany name you like. " ~ Nisargadatta
The more aware we are of our awareness and how its connected to the entire conscious Universe, the faster and easier we wake up.
We come to trust in the amazing consciousness within us and know it's guiding our every move.
There is this perpetual letting go and "letting in" experience, which is the foundation of trust in it's most raw form.
This is the final key to unlocking the spiritual pathway for the Universe to enter your heart and guide your life in each moment.
This level of trust is amazing, as it will deliver every desire you want to have in life with effortless joy and ease.
The more you can trust in your own power and connection, the more you'll feel and know yourself as pure creative conscious energy who is unstoppable in anything that you decide to take on.
Yes, you are unstoppable! Take this thought in deeply. Rest with it deep inside yourself. Allow the calm quiet awareness that's connected to your breath inhale this idea all day long!
Let yourself feel unstoppable in everything you desire in life. You CAN have what you want, yes you deserve it!
This is how powerful this connection is to the Universal source. Try it. You'll quickly train the mind to let go of any old fears, negativity and lower vibrations that may be lingering deeper inside you.
When we are truly awakened beings, we seem to be not of this world. We can simply visualize what we want, feel we are receiving the physicality of it, know it's coming our way, and it magically manifests into our lives.
There are no real limitations or boundaries unless the mind believes in them to be there. Instead, we find there is this natural enjoyment of every moment of our journey.
The awakened being is piercing through the mind's judgments about others, and receiving warm fuzzy feelings from the Universe in it's place.
There is a knowing that we are all divine and totally loveable human beings exactly the way we are, and have truly nothing to fear.
There is a relaxed mastery over the mind, a feeling of oneness with all of life, and we find that life itself is the greatest miracle!
All of this and much much more is discovered by simply enjoying each mysterious new moment of life, exactly as it is.

FROM RAVEN'S NEST Feb 20
BEING HUMAN
Consider a time when we as human beings knew it all, experienced it all and then consider the need of the human soul for variety!
Thousands of years ago, humanity made a decision; a decision to live with a sense of inner separation.
At that time, spirits had become tired of incarnating as fully-aware spirits-in-physicality. They
wanted more challenge in life. They wanted to turn life into a mystery; a true, stand-alone human experience, not just an extension of spirit into matter.
Bear in mind that, in the natural state of spiritual living, as free spirits in the mental realms, there are very few limitations. People can manifest anything they need, relocate instantly in space, shift to a different position in time, all at the speed of thought. In the mental realms, people can visit friends or go along with them, exploring the universe, all through the power of thought. That's why they're called the mental realms.
To be more specific, the mental realms exist in fifth density consciousness and are the domain of your soul or inner being. Between third-density physicality and the fifth-density realm of your inner being lies the fourth-density spirit or astral realm, populated by people in the early to main stages of the afterlife. In the late stages of the afterlife, people move into fifth density to consider their options for further experience.
Physical incarnation is always voluntary. Nothing compels your soul to incarnate into another physical life. It is always a decision at the personal and soul group level whether to come back into physical life on Earth.
Thousands of years ago, physical experience was a fully-conscious extension of spirit into matter. People knew who they were as spirits, connected to their inner selves and to the universe as a whole.
"What if," they said, "we came into physical existence and didn't know who we were? We could devote our whole lives to searching for the answer to the mystery. Imagine what a challenge it would be!"
Humankind then made the joint decision to immerse itself further into a denser, more focused reality. Their focus was directed upon the physical senses, along with a detachment from the superconscious and subconscious levels of thinking. By maintaining a tight focus upon the "outer" world of the senses, humans could even believe that they are fixed into one location in space and locked into a time continuum.
Imagine, physical life would become so intense, so real, so convincing. Now, most people love exhilarating rides, like the ones at amusement parks. And, if the ride seems scary, so much the better. Roller coaster rides are scary. The old Ghost Train rides at U.K. fairgrounds were scary. Disney's Haunted Mansions at their theme parks in California, Florida, Paris and Tokyo are all very scary. So scary that, when the rides end, people say,
"That was great! Want to go round again?"
Life can be scary, too. A life spent without a constant, conscious connection to your true inner nature is always a challenge.
Today, the amusement park ride of inner separation is coming to an end. The Shift to the New Reality is happening today. We are becoming more and more aware of our inner nature. Those who grasp the idea of the New Reality will actively develop that inner connection, and not just wait for it to surprise them as it slowly unfolds.
And remember, this ride through intense physicality was always a choice. We may not remember as far back as when the choice was made, but, at a soul level, we've been willingly hopping on and off the theme park ride of physical life on Earth ever since.
We incarnate for the experience of physical life, and to help transform this reality towards its ultimate state; one which, today, is looming very near.
These are the days of transformation, the time of The Shift. The scary ride is coming to an end. As a culture, we are about to find ourselves and reconnect within.
