Requiem for 2011, welcome 2012

2011-12-30T17:44:00.000-08:00

As 2011 winds down and slithers I into the dark and dismal past…I am realizing that many that I have lost touch with for whatever reason, have sent me holiday greetings, which are greatly valued and much cherished. The list is long, and due to the difficulty I have in manipulating my fingers to type appropriately, I determined to just send a notice of my blog-post and trust that you can learn what you wish to from the posts I have been making for the past several months.

The challenges of 2011 for me have been emotionally intense, both fiscally and physically. To rationalize them as a balancing of the learning of life lessons triggered by mistakes of my past ignorance is little comfort, however learning to separate balanced vs. unbalanced behaviors or responses to inappropriate choices (now or in the past) is a way to develop integrity and responsibility, which are delicately intertwined..

In order to become impeccable in integrity, requires being responsible to the inner voice that guides your choices toward balanced or unbalanced thoughts, words, deeds, asking for guidance in recognizing your errors instantly. When an error in judgment of what is right or wrong is made, it is not comfortable to the ego to become instantly accountable for a misdeed, but by paying careful attention you may find that you will seldom if ever have to repeat that error. The corollary is that by not paying attention, you will be presented with the lesson again and again, until you do get the message!!!

As 2011 finished its final days, for millions of American families, there was no Christmas this year. The sad truth is that an increasing number of families simply do not have money for Christmas presents or any other luxuries right now. The number of Americans that fell into poverty set a new all-time record last year and extreme poverty is at the highest level ever measured in the United States. This Christmas, a lot of American families had to decide whether to spend the little money that they do have on food, heat or medicine. All over America, the poor are getting poorer and each year the economic pain seems to get even worse, making Americans aware of a sinister, usurious process by which wealth has systematically been funneled into fewer and fewer hands.

Some predictions of the end-times include warnings of famine, pestilence and plagues, dramatic weather and earth changes of a disastrous nature, etc. and this past year has had more than its share, even in my little corner of the world… from snow changing to spring-like days back to snow again and again, from January through April, killing nearly all of the blossoms on the fruit trees along with excessive rain from January through May that apparently leached out all of the nutrients in the garden soil, an infestation of pests (fleas, spiders, mites, mice – the three cats now seem to have them under control!) an unproductive growing year in the garden and orchard – due to leached out soil nutrients from the excessive rain and encroachment of roots into the garden beds by nearby douglas fir trees, one of my kitties dying of old age, my sister having brain surgery for an aneurism, mother giving up her house and moving into assisted care, breaking of two teeth by once biting into a rice cake and a week later a cracker, probably my worst nightmare is dental work both because of the pain and because I loathe having to pay for someone to cause me that kind of pain… to finally being threatened with no internet access by my ISP because of sending out too many emails that were “unsolicited”…. Most of the emails I get are unsolicited also, but apparently communicating with my contacts approximately once a month with a signature line that had a website link was a red flag to someone, so I stopped sending out any emails and have refocused on doing my blog…that way, if anyone wants to knowing what is going on, they will have to go there to find out…our internet freedoms are being threatened, and we really do need to keep this channel open for free access to the real truth, since the controlled media certainly only gives us the “officially sanctioned version”…when I opened my Firefox browser today, the following message was front and center, “Congress is trying to censor the internet. Help Mozilla fight for a free and open web: Get involved today.”

My post of December 22^nd goes into great detail about what is being done to curtail our freedoms, so I won’t reiterate any of that here, you can read it yourself if you choose. Just a few days ago, I finished reading a book by Susan Lindauer, “Extreme Prejudice”.... fascinating, chilling and riveting... took me 4 nights til past midnight to get thru the 500 or so pages, but hard to put it down.. a good education into the mindset that created the Patriot Act, 9/11 and the Iraq war...highly recommend. There are some times when she gets repetitive, but it may be for emphasis on points that are critical. This woman's story is a genuine wake up call for America...reminds me of the attempts to silence any type of dissent or criticism of the functioning of government by anyone who is being heard, I am specifically thinking of Sherry Peal Jackson, Aaron Russo, the people from PQI who were raided by alphabet agencies, etc. we are all considered to be “enemy combatants” and to be silenced or irradicated as quickly and effectively as possible.

Not to leave you with all of the tales of gloom and doom, there were many good things that happened in 2011 as well. A beautiful silky furred Russian blue kitty came to partake of the “sanctuary table” wherein I just can not turn any hungry animal away, and she blessed the household with four beautiful kittens 10 months ago, three of which found good families to provide them permanent homes the fourth has stayed on (yes they are both now “fixed” so there will be no more unexpected kittens…) and these two are now a part of the menagerie of “10 pair of hungry little eyes” that the sanctuary provides daily sustenance for. The two large parrots, a blue & gold macaw and a scarlet macaw (now going through her “terrible twos”) have provided hours of entertaining antics and conversation. After months of special diets and varied approaches that are finally netting positive results, the big white Samoyed dog, Mikasa is finally improving and sleeps through the night without being in distress (thankfully, now I can sleep too!). The black kitty, Ebony is still a bit bent out of shape for being invaded by the two other kitties, but she will just have to make the best of it… and the chickens are happily producing eggs regularly… more than I can eat actually, and they do help keep the bugs at bay, at least outside..

The good family news: my sister, even though she had extensive brain surgery, with an incision going from one ear to the other - her scar is hidden in her hairline, is now doing very well with only one small residual issue, that she has lost her sense of smell… of all that could have been lost, I suspect this is probably one of the best one could hope for. My mother seems to be happy in her new environment and there is less concern that she could fall and be injured without anyone knowing. My grand-daughter graduated from college this summer and is now working as an administrative assistant in the department of Agriculture in Washington, DC.(knowing my views, it’s a bit unnerving, but so many new graduates are unable to find work now-a-days), my grandson just turned sixteen and is doing well in both school and sports, and both of my children are doing well in their careers and have been a great help to me during these lean times, in that I know I will always have a roof over my head, warmth, food and have a place to sleep, so I know that even though times seem difficult – I am aware of the many blessings that are bestowed on me…especially as I reflect on those who have lost their homes, due to the egregious actions of the few that have made them into collateral damage in their quest for wealth and power.

All of that said, with the coming of this long awaited year, 2012, we will now see what it brings. My belief is that, if enough of us focus our thoughts and energies on bringing forth a world with clean air, clean water, clean food and peace, we can make it happen, and this is the time to bring it forth.

I will leave you with these thoughts from Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn, who comes as a Teacher, Friend, and as a member of the Host of Creator God, so that those of you who wish for understanding may find it.

Never underestimate the power of the Human Spirit to survive and create wonderful things—even if they come from the rubble and ruins of a once great civilization. More often than not, the ones on your world don’t appreciate what they have until it is stripped from them in a cold and heartless manner. However, the value of the lessons learned from such experiences is quite priceless in terms of REAL (soul) growth.

Please remember: the REAL treasures are what you take with you when you leave the physical. May your “coffers” be full of all the Joys that come from expanding the awareness of self and helping others to do likewise.

Will we thrive or merely struggle to survive in 2012?

2011-12-22T18:37:00.000-08:00

2012 the shift to a new paradigm. Will we thrive or merely struggle to survive?

Now that the US congress has passed the egregious National Defense Authorization Act all of us are subject to detainment at the whim of some bureaucratic enforcer... it is time for us to JUST SAY NO and realize that our Constitution and Bill of Rights are not going to protect us from these insane power mad politicians...

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

-Martin Niemoeller

Perhaps when more people realize that when the National Emergency Act was passed in 1933 WE THE PEOPLE became "enemies of the state", we the People will begin to awaken and take back what is ours, the God given inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In 1973, it is said that Henry Kissinger (a key player of the global elite) stated the following:

Who controls the food supply controls the people.

Who controls the energy can control whole continents.

Who controls the money can control the world.

Unless the American people wake up and resist the global elite power brokers, (GEPB) – [defined as: the powers-that-be, The Committee of 300, Club of Rome, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, proponents of the New World Order – NWO, International Bankers, Zionists/ Illuminati/ Freemasons/ the Matrix, etc. ] control over our lives and their goal of World Domination, it may soon be too late to reverse the course of events. As more and more people are becoming aware of this agenda, the controllers are becoming ever more insistent upon maintaining their position and more aggressive in their agenda, which is to consolidate, commercialize, classify, claim and control EVERYTHING!

The “reality” of our earthly experience is based on a plan that was not conceived on a moment’s notice but has been put together over eons of time. The intent of darker/heavier energies who have engineered the experience of this 3rd dimensional existence into a pattern that puts us at the lower end of the scale in which the human body can exist, making it difficult for the body’s spirit to connect and communicate with its Soul, allowing the separation of these two energies. .

Those darker energies, the controllers that have designed the disconnect have the perception that by disrupting this flow of energy’s return back to its source, will cause a chain reaction which will allow for chaos to such a degree that they will be able to reorganize the chaos into their own matrix, thereby capturing that energy for their own ends, a very ambitious and arrogant undertaking. This need for control at all costs is a clue that their abilities and control are fragile and that their fear is even greater than our own.

The Elite controllers (GEPB) are few, we are many. They are sucking our vital energy dry and using it to further their purpose of world domination, population control, the control of food supplies through genetically modified seeds, control of energy sources, creating war to keep us fighting with each other rather than uniting against them (divide and conquer) generating fear to feed off of the negative energy it provides and to convince us to give up our freedom in exchange for security, make us dependent on their “benevolence” so that we will beg for the sustenance we require, enslaving the masses for their benefit (problem, reaction, solution).

Along these lines, the use of the internet is now being threatened, as this is one of the few remaining sources of freely flowing information.

So how do we opt out? Start by taking back control of whatever we are able to… As long as we are dependent upon “them” they have us on a leash. Dissenters are kept in survival mode by withholding of necessities via scarcity. Keep us in fear, broke and without the means to resist… as was stated as an axiom in George Orwell’s 1984…. “Resistance is futile”. However, those who obediently comply with the agenda are rewarded with success and prosperity.. …

The elite cabal exerts control by using GMO foods, fluoride/aspartame/splenda and other toxic chemicals in our toothpaste/food/water putting toxins into our bodies; electromagnetic fields (EMF) bouncing off the ionosphere and using our electronic devices (cell phones, GPS, smart phones, etc.) to send frequencies that interfere with the normal electrical patterns of our brains, using HAARP, Chemtrails, and vaccines thus debilitating our physical regeneration ability. The constant barrage of fear inducing stimuli in the news and media helps them to control our thoughts, thus they they maintain control of our actions. They have the problem, reaction, solution formula, the divide and conquer formula and the generation of fear formula (via terrorist false flag scenarios, control of media and education, etc.) down cold.

The classic treatise of Sun Tzu, “The Art of War” has for more than 25 centuries allowed generals and commanders to prevail against overwhelming odds to win tremendous battles using these strategies. In it Sun Tzu advises, that we must “force the enemy to reveal themselves that we may know where they are abundant and where they are lacking” and that we “position ourselves in high places so that we may observe the enemy”. We must know our enemy, how they think, what they plan, how they accomplish their objectives in order to win this war for our very right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” vs. the enslavement that is planned for us

The methods they have chosen to use for this control system which have been developed over millennia are the following:

· Money – the medium that is required in order to exchange goods, services, necessities.

· Energy – fuel for heat, transportation, electricity, agriculture, etc.

· Law – the Uniform Commercial Code which regulates all commerce, and since most judges and elected officials are attorneys, the court system and government as well.

· Information – by controlling what people are allowed to know, they can control what they think and how they behave.

· Health – the medical/pharmaceutical cartel which controls access to health, enforces vaccination, and has developed a plan to enforce CODEX alimentarius which will make it impossible to obtain supplements in effective doses with out prescription and remove access to any alternative form of healing modality that is not recognized by the medical establishment. By so doing they control access to health.

· Sustenance (by controlling all food, water, and even the quality of the air we breathe)

We must take back control of our body temple, and it all starts in our mind and heart…

Rescue without our participation is not an available option. Purposeful focused intention is an all-powerful tool. Commitment to a goal will attract the assistance required to allow its completion

We have to be able to see through their game, and stand back not allowing it to have an effect, on us. There are rewards to be certain, although, this is much easier said than done, at least in my own experience. The process of growing my own food, raising chickens for eggs, using wood for heat and generally staying as far away from the mainstream as much as possible is both labor intensive and daunting, creating an abundance to sustain my needs, while living in a state that can quite often be described as one of poverty - which makes the downside one of being in a constant state of survival mode and isolation, just from the lack of participation in what many people consider normalcy. .

Our system of “education” has served to dumb us down and train us to be compliant, not rock the boat or make waves, to be “politically correct” (the term came from the Russian period of being brought under communism, then from the Nazi regime long before it was ever heard here in our country). There is an important distinction between allowance and indifference. The only way they can maintain their position of power is to keep us dumbed down. Our current public education system is designed to generate workers for corporations, wherein the students are trained to be on time, do what you are told to our specifications and don’t ask questions. An educated, informed populace is difficult to control.

For most of us here, this begins very early in life. Show up – be on time – do as you are told – DON’T ask questions! This begins our training to think only the programmed thoughts designed to lead us away from understanding the personal quest for remembering and reconnecting to our Source. We are taught to acquire things, escape from self directed thinking and to follow the opinions of authority figures, through entertainment, sports, pursuit of sexual experiences movies and TV. There are many layers of false information that are designed to produce intimidation and fear, making us focus on survival and self preservation.

Humanity does have a choice about its future experience; our power and permission are either retained or are given away as our choice, and as we begin to learn and understand more our desire to experience real freedom grows. There is no freedom without responsibility, these terms are interchangeable. As responsibility is relinquished, freedom dissolves into slavery, no matter how clever the excuse used for irresponsible behavior is encouraged. Obedience and service are the watchwords of “goodness” which is the “ideal of life”, yet commitment to obedience and service allow for cruel and inhumane treatment of fellow humans at the discretion of religion and government.

The great teachers spoke to us of taking personal responsibility and creating our future reality through changing our thoughts, and in this way only will we be able to move through this period of chaos, which is a necessary step in the process of change. Considering the loss of personal freedoms happening in quick succession as evidenced by what is presented to us through the written and spoken information that manages to present us with some truth, we may find that these sources may be silenced as we are placed under ever more strict surveillance and our only real communication can occur by word of mouth. The controllers have studied human psychology to such an extent that they know all of the possibilities of our ability to resist, and those that are allowed to exist are because they serve a purpose for their plan, and these can then be used as graphic examples for others of what they will not allow.

The above is a compilation of research based on information from several sources, including notes from the Handbook for a new Paradigm, The Great Deception, and information presented in the recently released documentary, Thrive.-

A lesson in economics

2011-12-03T20:34:00.000-08:00

This came to my email box today. I actually had received it at an earlier time as well, but this time I felt that it has enough merit to post itt....
Whether or not you agree, there are some rather astute observations included, so take it or leave it, from my point of view, it is worth sharing

A lesson in economics

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.

The point that I found most compelling was the concept of # 5, when people realize that there is no benefit to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for...it removes all incentive for those who are productive to produce just so it can be taken away from them. It is one thing to give from your heart to those in need and a desire to be of help and service to others, this is noble. To have your efforts stolen from you and given to others who are unwilling to put forth any effort of their own, results in a loss of motivation to continue to produce. Ponder that for a while.

Until next time,

Merlyn

CAFR Government's Best Kept SECRET!!!

2011-11-27T15:53:00.000-08:00

Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports Government's Best Kept Financial Secret

The first portion of this post is based on information compiled by:
Walter Burien - CAFR1.com
P. O. Box 2112
Saint Johns, AZ 85936
Tel. (928) 458-5854

The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is a very little known, yet detailed presentation of a US governmental entity's financial condition. The CAFR is also one of government's best kept financial secrets, as these reports show that almost all governments have far more money than people would ever suspect. Literally hundreds of billions of dollars are available to governments in investment accounts that are never mentioned to the public, as verified in these publicly available government reports.

What CAFRs reveal is a devious policy whereby taxpayers collectively surrender enormous assets to the government, which then invests the trillions that swell in these accounts. As this money is secreted away, taxpayers are warned of debilitating budget deficits to either squeeze more taxes from them and/or cut public services. To add insult to injury, the state commits a gross lie of omission by never informing citizens of their withheld trillions as they eliminate jobs, reduce education, and attack the quality of our lives.

The American Constitution is a contract of limited government whereby the public informs and is informed by our representatives. CAFRs are damning public documents that expose political leadership from both left and right as a thoroughly corrupt and self-serving oligarchy.

Below is a link to a 10min video on why the government is NOT really broke! Further on is the full length first edition of the video.

Walter Burien - CAFR1 Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy8tnC4xLX8

The way our government can "and" should be.

This first cut is a video that is essential for viewing by every responsible American (1hr 12min). The "Final Cut" should be finished in 2012. (1hr 30) and will be released on DVD.

Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn3hUcmNDdA

Why have political leadership and corporate media not informed American taxpayers of this intriguing option? And why isn't this data publicly submitted for professional and independent economist cost-benefit analysis to consider other options which benefit both government and the people? As we all know, money talks and power corrupts.

According to Mr. Burien, "Any local government can be restructured to meet their annual budget needs "Without" taxes. TRF (Tax Retirement Funds) paying for every City, County, State’s annual budgetary needs!" Probably this is also true even for the federal government, as seen in the video.

Check out this recent 60 minutes discussion of congressional "insider trading" which because of the laws that congress has passed in their favor they have made perfectly "legal". In my estimate, these activities by the "representatives of the people" are highly immoral. See whether or not you agree.

60 Minutes' Blows The Lid Off Congressional Insider Trading
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x95uC_wzUX4

The deceipt about the economic conditions is designed to keep us enslaved, and when financial reality is all but impossible to ignore, we are bombarded with bread and circuses, which invite the masses to lust after the latest electronic gagets, distract them with televised entertainment (think the gladiator sport of football, or dancing with the stars, even the "greatest looser" showing off how our overly obese society has to resort to contests with each other for prizes in order to remove their excess pounds). Truth be told, however, that like Greece and Italy and a good portion of Europe, the U.S. (corporate) government is headed down the slippery slope to insolvency.

Meanwhile, YOU are taxed when you earn (payroll taxes, paid by your employer), taxed when you save (capital gains taxes) and taxed when you spend (sales taxes). You're even taxed when you just sit on a pile of money and do nothing (monetary devaluation / price inflation). And remarkably, some of the more ignorant members of society have been out protesting, calling for more taxes on the People as a "solution" to all this!

The purpose of the federal tax code is to keep us down, heads buried in the sand so that we can never see the light, rise up and get ahead. Taxation is a financial shakedown, used by governments to remind us commoners that we are slaves to the state. In this way, federal taxes are very effecitve, all the while the IRS reminds everyone to "be afraid" and to comply in paying a tax that is technically "voluntary".

The bankster bailout monies went to their Insider pals, while the debt burden was heaped upon the working poor, and their children, grandchildren and future generations... the problems in America are not caused by capitalism, but rather corruption and criminality!

The greater truth of money is that it is created through the energy and creativity of the people. When a society begins to falter, the gaining of money is not by consent of those trading their energy for reward, but by compulsion, and when you find that in order for you to produce any goods or services you need to obtain permission from those who produce nothing, you will realize that when men become richer by graft and by influence than by work, when you see that corruption is being rewarded and honesty is becoming a sacrifice of self, you will know that your society is doomed.

"Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper.This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims..... Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded."

The above is Francisco d'Anconia's reply to the claim that "money is the root of all evil." from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, "THE MEANING OF MONEY".

Money in itself is not the evil, it is the corruption that accompanies the acquisition of it by dishonest means. Ultimately, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!.

CPI changes benefit government income and hide inflation

2011-11-11T15:54:00.000-08:00

Inflation, COLA declines and tax increases

Another change to the CPI is being proposed by the congressional "supercommittee" just as the elderly recipients of Social Security are anticipating their first COLA (cost of living adjustment) in 3 years. It is expected to reduce future COLA increases and increase taxes for most families with the largest pain being felt by the populace with the lowest incomes.

Congressional "supercommittee" proposes new CPI calculations that show a lower level of inflation than currently is in use that would hurt low income earners and elders because it would let policy makers cut benefits and increase taxes in a way that might not be aparent to Americans. Changes would at first be small. Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to preserve Social Security and Medicare stated "I think the thought process behind this is slip this in, people won't understand it." His message to Congress was, "Don't believe that taking this approach to cutting Social Security will not be noticed, you will pay for it".

The eventual effrects of these changes are as follows:

TAXES: By 2021 taxpayers making between $10,000 and $20,000 would see a 14.5% increase in their federal taxes while those making in excess of $1 million would see a tax increase of 0.1%.

SOCIAL SECURITY: COLA adjustments would be reduced by an average of 0.3% each year. At 65 that would mean about $136/yr less but for someone who is 95 the loss would amount to about $1,392. "For someone in the first year, it may not seem like a lot", said David Certner of AARP, "But as people get older and then they get poorer and more reliant on Social Security, the cut gradually gets larger and larger".

Just exactly what is the CPI? The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a time series measure of the price level of consumer goods and services. a Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and a Chained CPI are also widely used measures of consumer inflation. The U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes both a headline CPI which counts food and energy prices and in August they released the statistics for July of 2011 reporting an increase in year-over-year CPI growth to 3.63%, the highest rate of U.S. price inflation since October of 2008. July's official government reported year-over-year U.S. price inflation rate of 3.63% was up from 3.56% in June, 3.57% in May, 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, and 1.1% in November. This means that The official rate of U.S. price inflation has increased by 230% from November of 2010 through June of 2011. http://inflation.us/debtpoliticalcrisis.html

How does this affect you and I? As shown in the chart in my November 6th post, our dollars are able to buy less and less, the purchasing power has declined at an alarming rate due to the quantitative easing (QE) policy of the Federal Reserve (a move to print more and more fiat currency putting it into circulation and watering down the value of what is already in circulation). Bernanke has already given us QE 1 and QE2, with the potential of QE3 coming along as the government tries to raise the debt ceiling and put the current $14 trillion debt on the backs of the children's children's children of our country into perpetuity! (some are already saying it is now $15 trillion). The world is now recognizing the truth about how U.S. price inflation is spiraling out of control with the price of gold rising at an amazing rate -- $230/oz a few short years ago, now hovering around $1,700 - $1,800/oz.

The National Inflation Association (http://inflation.us) went on to state in its December 9th article, "If there is one American who deserves to be charged with treason, it is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke." "It is not humanly possible to betray ones country in a way that is more egregious than Bernanke's despicable acts."

Some economists would argue that as prices increase, consumers will switch to lower cost alternatives, as an example if the price of beef goes up and pork does not, people will buy more pork, and as the cost of home heating oil goes up, people will turn down the heat and put on more sweaters!

Perhaps Bernanke, the congress and especially the bureaucrats of this Supercommittee would like to experience what it is like to live like the rest of us!!!

Till next time,

Merlyn

The MSM is beginning to reveal some truth..???

2011-11-08T16:58:00.000-08:00

In spite of not being much of a TV watcher, nor actually sitting down to read the news paper thoroughly, I have recently noticed it has become apparent that the main stream media press (MSM) is opening up to more truth being allowed to reach the public as there have been a couple of recent items that made it past the smoke/mirror screens. This is encouraging, as it gives a sense that there is an awakening of the sleepwalking public.

The reference the to the occupy movement is only a minor part of this phenomenon. I would like to call your attention to a video from an older presentation by David Icke, referenced below which gives a clear picture of what the MSM is not telling us...worth taking a bit of time to watch, though the quality of the video is less than perfect.

DAVID ICKE -THE CORRUPT MONEY 13 min & 40 sec long, which really explains what is happening behind the scenes of this latest occupy movement (the Tea Party was infiltrated quickly and quickly lost its effectiveness in the process)
THE CORRUPT MONEY & BANKING SYSTEM - ENSLAVING HUMANITY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OgxTuVHlCc&feature=player_embedded

When I heard that Andy Rooney had died and that 60 minutes was going to do a short presentation on his life, I decided that I wanted to tune in, because he did have a wit and way of putting the things we see in life in a humerous if sometimes irreverent perspective. To my astonishment, the first portion of the program addressed the corruption of the elected "representatives" in Washington D.C. by the lobbists, an interview of one who was an insider of K street responsible for easily $1million in influence a year on his own, for which he was convicted and spent several years behind bars. He truly (he said) believed that he was doing no wrong, though now he says that he realized that what he did was evil. The startling revelation though was that although there have been legislative controls put into place, that the lobbying groups just figure out another way around it and proceed with buying influence for their clients with bribes, favors, etc., etc., etc. so in reality, nothing has changed...

A headline in the regional newspaper which originated in the Washington Post from yesterday is another example: "Wall St., bank profits soar under Obama". The opening statement was "Taxpayer bailouts allowed financial institutions to avoid collapse, make huge gains." however to quote Neil Barofslky, the former fed watchdog for the TARP $700 billion bail out used to help the banks remain solvent, "There's a very popular conception out there that the bail out was done with a tremendous amount of firepower and focus on saving the largest Wall Street institutions but with very little regard for Main Street. That's actually a very accurate description of what happened." So although TARP was supposed to encourage the banks to increase lending, which might have spurred spending and growth, instead the banks increased their investment returns by nearly 10% , since lending to prime consumers did not seem to them the most profitable use of their capital... and we are now seeing a renewed slowdown in the U.S. economy. This appears to me to be a direct result of the astronomical amounts of money spent to buy a corrupting influence of the elected "representatives" in Washington D.C.

The final item of note is that there is now a push to create the legislation that would allow entrepreneurs to actually sell products that they have made (handcrafted, homegrown, artisanal - buzz words for gourmets) that regulators are targeting to require an expensive assortment of of permits, inspections and controls that force would be bakers and chefs to go through a rigorous and proihibitively expensive approval process. In recent years state and local ordinances have surrounded do-it-yourselfers with red tape on everything from sales of backyard flower bouquets to restaurants growing their own vegetables to an underground market peddling home baked breads and cookies!! Currently, even bake sales are illegal here (in California) unless they are to benefit a charity. Again, this appears to have been created as a protection for large food producers, preventing any would be customers from opting instead for the more flavorful crusty loaves of home made bread that are made by artisan chefs... This does not even address the recent attacks made upon growers of organic produce, raw milk, herbs and supplements and other products that could contribute to a healthier population... If we are healthy, who is going to support the pharmaceutical industry??

So now that there is a glimmer of light being focused upon some of the control mechanisms that have been placed upon us, based on the 5"C"s of the new world order, global elite's agenda:

     Consolidate
     Commercialize
     Clasify
     Claim
      and
     Control
     EVERYTHING!!!

The truth is finally coming to light. What are you and I, the majority of the humans upon this earth going to do about it? Are we going to allow the current agenda to errode what little self determination we have remaining, or are we going to move in a new and more equitable direction for humanity and the planet? As a starting point, it is critical we become educated to what is actually going on. Here is a starting point, a short excerpt from the book posted in .pdf format on my web site: www.ItsEnergy.com "The Great Deception, Liberty Betrayed!!!

These are the five Cs of the New World Order (NWO). If the NWO is fully empowered, free speech, personality, personal goals and decisions, individual responsibility, private property, private business, morality, Constitutional government, national sovereignty; and religious freedom will no longer be tolerated. Everyone in every country will be subject to the NWO management system.

The global elite power brokers (GEPB) have determined that they have somehow been designated as the controllers of the planet, on the order of the doctrine of the “divine right of kings”. They realize that their numbers are small by comparison with the commoners and in order to remain in power and maintain their wealth, they must be in a position to exert control over the “unwashed masses” or their underlings if you will. They have set up their system of controls in a way that allows them to maintain their power, by controlling access to the things that the masses require in order to be able to survive and function effectively as the labor force that is the source of the value they seek to extract from the rest of humanity. What they have chosen to use for this control system are the following:

· Money – the medium that is required in order to exchange goods, services, necessities.

· Energy – fuel for heat, transportation, electricity, agriculture, etc.

· Law – the Uniform Commercial Code which regulates all commerce, and since most judges and elected officials are attorneys, the court system and government as well.

· Information – by controlling what people are allow to know, they can control what they think and how they behave.

· Sustenance (by controlling all food, water, and even the quality of the air we breathe).

You may want to take note of this: They have set up their system of controls in a way that allows them to maintain their power, by controlling access to the things that the masses require in order to be able to survive and function effectively as the labor force (IN OTHER WORDS THEIR ENERGY SOURCE EXTRACTED FROM US) that is the source of the value they seek to extract from the rest of humanity.

Food for thought... till next time,

Promises, promises, promises...

2011-11-06T14:43:00.000-08:00

This will date me significantly, but there once was an advertising campaign tha went something like this, "promise her anything but give her Arpege" - is that perfume still around anymore? No idea, but it seems that today that marketing is a combination of making promises that either are not possible to keep, over promising/under delivering and doing whatever it takes to convince (sell) your customer in such a way as to extract from them money - whether they need or can afford to purchase your (fill in the blank widget) or not.

Have you noticed the number of telephone sales solitiations, lately... seems that they are calling earlier, later and more often than ever. Thank goodness for caller ID - if I do not recognize the caller I usually do not bother to answer otherwise, I would waste all of my time explaining why I do not want to take advantage of whatever offer they are promoting. A recent article from the National Inflation Association points to in my opinion the reason there is such a concerted effort to separate the people from their money resources. The following quote explains:

"Although we believe the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests are a very positive sign, Wall Street is not the problem. The Federal Reserve and their policies of creating massive monetary inflation are the root cause of all our economic problems, including the destruction of the middle class. Having a prosperous Wall Street is important for the future of the U.S. economy. American entrepreneurs need to be able to access our capital markets in order to raise money to build the next Apple."

"If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve's unconstitutional actions and the moral hazards they create, instead of having massive assets bubbles that constantly blow up to overvalued levels and then burst to insanely undervalued levels, stocks would trade based on their true fundamentals. Companies that took reckless risks like Goldman, Citigroup, and Bank of America, would be out of business."

.

Even though the government claims that the rate of inflation is extremely low, just one look at the prices in the grocery store, and at the items that one absolutely must have to maintain any kind of reasonable comfort level (food, heat, gasoline, necessities, etc. ) have been ratcheting upward at an astonishing pace. What this really means is that the purchasing power of your dollar has declined significantly.

I have avoided posting partly due to the overwhelmingly depressing and confusing tenor of the main stream news - the conflicting evidence of how difficult it is for the people who are either unemployed or underemployed and therefore not in the top earning levels to make ends meet, yet the mainstream news is talking about the "recovery" as if this news applies to anyone other than the top 1% of the populatio. Meanwhile the rest of us are struggling just to make it from pay period to pay period. . . An example is from an article written by Barry Gray, titled CEO pay in US soared 23% in 2010, in which he comments that US unemployment remains at near-Depression levels and health care, pensions and education are being slashed by all levels of the government, the pay of corporate CEOs is soaring. The compensation of the 200 highest-paid chief executives at large corporations increased by 23 percent in 2010 over the previous year, according to a New York Times report in July of 2011. Perhaps it is naive of me to ask, but just exactly what is it that these CEOs do that entitles them to such extreme pay and bonus levels while those that actually produce whatever it is their company sells have difficulty buying the necessities of life???

As we connect the dots, there is little question as to what the "occupy movement" is attempting to communicate to the world, "We are tired of the haves taking eferything from the have nots!"

The Greatest Depression now underway is an engineered event (just like the one in the 30's) . The destruction of the dollar, the increase in the fiat money supply that will create merciless inflation, and the slow withering away of the middle class — all of this is part of the plan to remake the world as the globalists see it. If the Greatest Depression is allowed to continue unabated billions of people will be reduced to serfdom under a global government scheme cooked up by the elite. Another problem reaction solution scheme to further their ends to a one world government with a one world currency, a one world army and a one world court.

The empty promises - of a free lunch, etc., etc., etc. are just that. If a government is powerful enough to give you everything, it can just as easily take everything away, since they create nothing of themselves, they must take it from someone else to provide it to you... Pretty soon there is no one else to take it from. Remember to ask the question, who actually benefits and follow where the money trail leads to find out.

That is about enough for now, till next time,

Undoing our negative programming

2011-02-11T16:36:00.000-08:00

Fear generation via the media, news, movies, etc. has us believing that some and/or all of these items in this list combine to make us sick...including CODEX Alimentariuis (withholding of alternative cures, herbs & supplements), Chemtrails, pharmaceutical drugs, GMO foods, CFL lighting, toxins in the air/food/water, and are designed to induce control and oppress humanity.

WOW!
A very clear explanation by Bruce Lipton of why we have health and lilfe challenges. We tend to think that it is all coming from outside of ourselves, and adopt a victim mentality of how "they" are doing "it" to us....take a little over a half hour of your time to watch this video and see if you can relate to his science. It is mind over matter - we just have to learn how to control which part of our mind is controlling us...

Holidays!!!

2010-12-26T16:18:00.000-08:00

This holilday season, so much is different, so much the same.

I stayed close to home, did absolutely no commercial purchasing, not even the traditional tree... spent the holiday with my pet family, visited with my mother, children and grandchildren by telephone and actually turned on the TV to watch holiday programming.

Several highlighs:
The Mormon Tabernacle Chior
Its a Wonderful Life (1946 b&w movie with Jimmy Stewart)
75th Anniversary Radio City Hall Music program with the Rockettes (amazing correography - though they still all do the high kicks in unison!!!)
A couple of made for TV Christmas movies....

Now most of the time I consider watching TV a waste of time, I rarely even turn it on. The commercials are extremely annoying, of course all of the retailer ads for the products everybody puts aside and never uses, or especially the car ads for just about anything you might never be able to pay off, plus pharmaceutical drugs with their butterfly wings and disclaimers (if you listen carefully to these, it is hard to imagine why ANY one would want to consume them).

However the holiday programming is generally of high quality and leaves one feeling more positive than the typical sex, violence and frightful news programs that are seemingly designed to scare us all into compliance with some agenda or another.

So for this week, my comments are brief, just to wish everyone a peaceful, joyous time with family and friends and all the best for a prosperous new year in 2011!

Till next time,

Merlyn

Liberty or tyranny?

2010-12-05T13:13:00.000-08:00

The house of representatives ... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny. --James Madison, Federalist No. 57, 1788

Clearly we are finally beginning to realize that the system is broken, our leaders are actually leading us down the primrose path to tyranny and destruction. What is our best defense?

In the latest communication from David Icke, he posits:

“FANTASTIC PROGRESS … AND THE CHALLENGES AHEAD”

He sees, “a new stage in the awakening as a whole new and potentially enormous group of people begin to cross the line and see that apparently random injustice is really calculated and coordinated injustice.
These are the people who have observed the grotesque unfairness and inequality in their own communities and the world in general, but have perceived this to be the result of human greed alone, almost a natural state of the greedy and unscrupulous seeking to exploit the masses for wealth and power.
On one level that is true, but more and more people are now beginning to realise that the foundations of this injustice are not ‘natural’, but globally enforced.
They are coming to the vital, perception-changing, life-changing realisation that the forces that manipulate their own communities and countries are the same forces that are doing the same in every community and country. It is a point I have stressed over and over in the last month: those dictating the lives of Americans are part of the same global network imposing its will upon the Portuguese and Spanish.
As ever more people in this ‘sense of injustice’ mindset start to connect the dots and see how it is all coordinated, the potential for bringing down the house-of-cards Control System becomes limitless.
And it is beginning to happen, though this is just the start.”

I submit we must realize that this global network of control has developed a system of “laws”,”statutes”,”codes”,“rules” and “regulations” which were designed to suit and further their agenda, but that have no real relevance to Universal or God’s Law, which in it’s simplest form is to love all of Creation and treat all of it with respect. Once it becomes clear that this is the only Law that must be obeyed, and the rest (“laws”,”statutes”,”codes” “rules” and “regulations”) relate only to those that created them, and have no real bearing upon the children of God if we are living exclusively under God's LAW, we must ignore them as they do not apply to us, and consequently put us into the position of choosing to obey their “laws” instead of God.

In that spirit, since up until now we have chosen to ignore this fact and instead embraced the myriad rules/regulations that involves playing by the rules that were made up by the tyrants and “work within the system”, we will never achieve the freedom and liberty we desire and deserve.

For example, by engaging in praise to the cult of democracy by playing the game of voting (in spite of the revelation that the outcome of many elections were pre-determined and the voting machines can easily be hacked), we are required to concede that we are indeed the property of another (via the 14th Amendment). These control freaks must be ecstatic when they see their victims attempting to petition them to change their minds or vote them out. As long as we slaves are groveling, begging, and demonstrating our angst, the slave masters know that they are still in charge.

The concept of disobedience to the politicians, to “break the (man’s not God’s) law” in order to be free is terrifying to most, some not even daring to think about it. We have been conditioned to be too scared to actually disobey these self proclaimed masters (which may be understandable). We have been brainwashed from infancy for obedience first to parental "authority", progressively to any authority outside of ourselves, especially “government”, - and that it is a moral imperative to obey the commands of politicians (which the controllers call “law”), so we will not allow ourselves to consider "breaking the law" to achieve freedom.

If you still feel a moral obligation to obey the commands of politicians (no relationship with God’s law), then all you're doing is begging the master to treat you less harshly, hoping that you will not be whipped as hard, and even if he agrees, you'll still be a slave.

Civil disobedience to these self proclaimed masters is the only language they will understand, especially by cutting their flow of income to fund their agenda. Instead of begging for taxes to be lowered, just stop paying them, quit providing funding for wars, stop complaining about the brutality that the mercenaries of government get away with inflicting upon the people. If the consequence for a thug who beats the hell out of an innocent, unarmed civilian was death, instead of a paid vacation, it might happen less often.

To quote Larkin Rose, “As long as the final decision of how the people are treated rests with the masters, and their hired thugs, the people can whine, vote, beg, and complain all they want. It will achieve nothing. But if enough people start coming to the realization that they own themselves, and that they don't need a "law" saying so, they don't need "legislation" giving them permission to keep what they earn, or to make their own choices, and if they start acting like people who understand and love liberty, they might actually get some.”

Some recent examples of how this must be determined is the Food Safety legislation that passed the senate and is now going back to the house for consideration... which has little to do with safety and everything to do with control, wresting from the populace the right to produce, grow and share our own food. The senate voted 73 to 25 to pass, and Maplight.org shows that big industry corporate interests that will benefit from its passage funded many of the senate votes in the mid six figures.

Another example is Health care (actually sickness care) reform which denies us the right to determine what we may use as supplementation to ensure the health of our bodies, and forces us to accept what “they” (the politicians, with NO medical knowledge) determine is required, at an enormous cost to us in the form of higher taxation and harm to the economy by regulation and more taxation to business. Both of these benefit corporate interests (big agriculture, big pharmaceutical) and erode our freedom to make choices that we believe are in our best interest.

Most recently in the news is the abuse and invasion of our privacy and right to travel by TSA, conducting radiation of our bodies and/or invasive, lewd, perverted body searches of the private areas of our body in the name of security.

The “just say no” phrase from a few decades past comes to mind.

Can we as a people follow the example of Mahatma Gandhi? Resist, non-compliance, peacefully, doing what we know to be the right thing for our own bodies?

Do not acquiese to molestation of our bodies or those of our children, avoid exposure to excessive radiation, ensure that we have the medicinal herbs and supplements we require, grow our own food to our best ability, from pots on patios and windowsills, to small plots of garden, with whatever small livestock we can manage. In reality, there are so few of them and so many of us, if the majority of the people would resist their rules and regulations, it would be impossible for them to enforce them.

A recent news item from Germany, wherein the “government supplied 5000 troups to guard a train carrying live nuclear fuel across the countryside, the people resisted in force, some 50,000 of them, with whatever they could muster in the way of tractors, farm equipment, etc. and severely restricted their progress to the point where they were unable to obtain food, reinforcements, in a cold forested area – and eventually had to abandon their plans due to hunger, cold and exhaustion.

The point that was made here, is that the forces that want to maintain control are limited, and as long as they are allowed to bully us into thinking we have no power, they can remain in control.

Once we realize that we can unite and throw off the illusion of separation that they have used, their effective technique of divide and conquer to keep us from coming together to assert our will, we will no longer be enslaved – the taste of freedom can again be ours.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity."
-- Wendell Phillips, speech in Boston, Massachusetts, January 28, 1852

Breathe deeply, release the stress!!!

2010-10-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

Have you noticed lately that people seem to be even more stressed out and full of anxiety than they were even a year ago?

This picture came to me in an email this past week, with a blessing and a request to pass it on, and because I thought the picture was actually very beautiful, I did pass it on. I am not aware of the name of the artist. If only I had the talent to create such a work of art!! My interpretation was that the standing angel was keeping guard and protecting the one that is kneeling in a position of prayer.

To my surprise, my wanting to share a lovely piece of artistic talent was greeted with a number of "don't send me these kind of emails any more", one person replied, "did not like it... the angel with the sword and menacing look is standing above and behind the kneeling angel - the classic position for an execution by beheading" another simply stated that she doesn't "send out emails with threats of dire consequences"...

Over the years, I have received literally hundreds of emails suggesting that if they are not forwarded to "X" number of contacts that some evil will befall, and it never has, nor ever does, so in my experience these are empty, meaningless threats to be ignored. If the text is inspiring and/or there is a lovely, or inspiring photo attached, I will forward them to people that I think may be able to appreciate the beauty of the picture, may benefit from being remembered with a blessing as well as a request to our Father/God (by whatever name or label you choose to use) for protection and blessings to the recipient.

What seems to be happening in our society/culture/world is that people are so upset and confused by the chaos and changes taking place with the planet, the economy, their security issues, that they will vent their anger at the slightest provocation, in directions that are totally unrelated to the cause of their distress. People holding on to the ways of the past are frightened by the changes which are occuring which have been predicted and are unfolding basically on schedule.

During the many months I was researching my e-book, The Great Deception, Liberty Betrayed !!!, the current times were predicted, and actually planned out with complete agendas being revealed by those whom I termed, the Global Elite Power Brokers, (GEPB). The book is available at http://www.itsenergy.com/. The GEPB's time of global control is now coming to an end, as declared by Prime Creator, the source of all life.

In the game of dualilty, our third dimensional reality, a part of their role was to help humanity awaken for the process of ascending to the higher vibrational 4th and 5th dimensions. They played their role so well that they got caught up into it, and became addicted to their wealth and power, and have been unwilling to release their strangle hold on the peoples of the earth. In an effort to retain what they have, they are using whatever means they can concieve of to keep the status quo, ever more aggressively as it becomes ever more clear that the "game is up" and it is time to relinquish their ill gotten gains. Much like a cornered animal, they are lashing out and it now seems they will do so until their last breath, as they are unwilling to remember that it was only a temporary role they agreed to play.

Many are aware of the "end time" prophesies regarding 2012, and the fears that are associated - although these times are the end of an era, the process of breaking down the old paradigm in order to make way for a new, more equitable one require the breaking up of the old systems so that the new can be brought forth. We have long been under a system wherein we as people have been manipulated/exploited, and in order to function within the economic system usury has been the norm, rather than a fair exchange of energy for like energy. That is all now being exposed, and the dishonesty, lack of integrity, discussions of depopulation and examples of outright blatant greed are now actually being discussed openly on the internet and even sometimes in the controlled media. The times, they are a changing...

There is a saying among some who are focused upon these times as being the beginnings of a new enlightened golden era, a time wherein we are actually beginning to reclaim our birthright as creative energy beings, that our thoughts are creating our reality, and "what you think about, you bring about", so be careful what you wish for, as you will likely get what you ask for, probably even more quickly than was imaginable up until this presesnt time. Speaking into reality what you are thinking requires that one very carefully chooses the words used, and the thoughts that are behind those words.

So to each one who visits here, may you be protected, in joy, in peace -and in love, with many blessings.

Till next time, remember to breathe!

Mid summer day dreaming

2010-08-12T15:37:00.000-07:00

Summer is half over now, with the cooler weather this year my garden has been providing cool weather veggies, but not much else. Fruit trees are taking a breather this year again after being overly prolific last year, glad I was able to dry much of the fruit from last year, and still have some left!!!

I've had some rather interesting experiences with my little homestead this year. Got some baby chicks in mid March, which I finally got moved out of doors into the orchard in May... then some of them promptly were attacked, not sure what was the problem until I saw a raven actually trying to eat one of them. I rescued her, took her indoors to be taken care of and nursed her back to health, meanwhile doing what I could to prevent further decimation of the flock.

After a month in my kitchen, the skin on the back of her neck had grown back and she was getting feathers again there, though she has a piece of skin that was moved to the side, so now she has a kind of a "pony tail" on one side of her face... kind of cute, but looks a bit unusual, so I call her my designer chick. The other chickens were not too anxious to allow her return to full status in the flock so now in the pecking order she is low chicken on the totem pole, but has managed to be swift of foot and able to fend for herself quite well now, thank you... amazing what love energy will do for the process of healing.

The first eggs are now being laid, pullet eggs being smaller than the eggs of mature hens, but now there will be lots of excelent clean free range egg protein available for the duration of the year.

As usual, summer is a busy time here, so again my posting is catch as catch can and time becomes available.

With all of the happenings in the world right now, I wanted to share a bit of information on how to protect what you have been working for all of your life, so that you can retain the fruits of your labor through asset protection. For your free copy of a free asset protection crash course, click on (or copy & paste into your browser) this link, http://www.keepyourassets.net/?merlyn

So till next time, enjoy your summer and protect the fruits of your labor!!!

Wakeup Call

2010-05-24T13:52:00.000-07:00

Realizing I have been remiss about adding content to this blog for three months, much has been happening that has required my energy and attention since my last post in February.

We are nearly midway through spring, and admittedly some of the weather has been spring-like with the flowers and spring green verdant landscape, and yet it still has the feel of icy winds and cold, and much has not been done to prepare for summer, because of the copious rain mixed with hail and snow this month and last.

Truly the earth is doing many things in ways we are unaccustomed to experiencing, with numerous earthquakes, volcanic activity, storms, floods and unprecedented weather patterns... the earth has been damaged and is trying to heal.

For now, let me just share with you this message from our earth, originally posted here: http://www.freedomclubusa.com/newsletter

Please feel free to share this message in its entirety with all.

Blessings to all,
'Til next time

WAKEUP CALL

Gaia (Mother Earth) has directed this message to the oil industries, bankers, military leaders, subversive agencies, pharmaceutical industry, religious leaders and others supporting darkness on this planet.

Greetings to you all. I will speak slowly and sincerely as you all must hear what I have to say. Some of you will act, some will react and hopefully you will respond from a considered placed. I have tolerated abuse of the air, water and earth long enough. That toleration has come to an end. I will be responding myself. There may be loss of life, massive loss of income, and dire consequences to all of you that continue to put greed, power and control first.

We are coming into a whole new paradigm, one in which conscious choices are needed to be made. It is your choice. Those of you who persist, in raping, pillaging and plundering my oil and other “unnecessary bounty” will be downgraded to a different realm to learn your lessons with others that refuse ascension. It might be what you call, living your worst nightmare. For those of you with the courage to quit your current jobs and move into a new and more green perspective, avenues of personal abundance will overflow. Avenues will open up for each and every one of you. You will create what you focus on and you will integrate it into the rest of this life. So fear and greed will create mistrust and chaos with thousand or millions of others feeling and doing just the same around you. There will be no Lightworkers there to sooth and try to cajole, encourage or shift you into a higher frequency.

Those of you who choose to take the more evolved path will be richly rewarded on many, many levels. We know such a shift is neither easy nor immediate, yet we are at a point to demand a show of which direction you will take. Those of you choosing a higher path, we have to see your attempts to do this. We will be compassionate and yet the time is now. You have an expression IF NOT NOW, WHEN!

This is not a threat, this is simply a heads up. This is what will be happening. You will no longer to be allowed to desecrate the land, oceans or my valuable resources.

My recourses are valuable for me to function efficiently. The oil is unnecessary at this time as you have adequate and superior technology available at this moment to be able to supersede any use of oil. Plastics can be recycled and new products invented that are far more eco friendly. Using my oceans as a trash heap is unacceptable. Killing my wildlife, whether in the ocean or on land is unacceptable. Taking pieces of these beautiful animals, fish or birds for sexual stimulation, adornment, or profiteering will cease and desist now. The big cats are not to be made into fur coats or rugs. Ivory will not be harvested unless caused by a natural death. We understand, it may take time to get this message out to the artery and capillary outflow to all you have created. And yet, we will be intolerant with any who countermand this. If one family is poaching to gain income, that whole family will be at risk. Whether drugs or oil the families will also be put in jeopardy. This must stop NOW. So know that any of you who breach this, will not just harm yourselves but ALL your relatives are at risk.

This will have ramifications, all back thru the arterial system right to the top. This will also go off planet to any of those who are masterminding and string pulling from other galaxies. The galactic federation, the Christ council and the Archangelic realm along with all the Ascended Masters have decreed this.

And so beloved beings, it is YOUR CHOICE. Those who wish to ascend can come and play in the new paradigm. Those who wish to remain with their old status quo may also do that, this is a free will planet. Just know your consequences.

On a lighter note, there are many, many beings like yourselves who are beginning to wake up and to see that each of our thoughts and our actions and our words have a consequence. As more of you choose the light, the higher path or the path to higher consciousness, then all of the energies on the planet will be amplified. So if you have chosen greed and chaos (the consequences) will be amplified 10 fold in the remainder of this year alone. Those that choose a more conscious path and choose live in a positive compassionate and community way which is all of earth as one community will also find peace, love, joy and prosperity accelerating 10-100 fold. You will find those to teach you. Ask and the teacher appears. It is that simple. You may find it is your child… maybe a pet… maybe a stranger or guide from another realm. Pray earnestly and you will receive. Release doubt, choose trust. There is light all around you. You have beings here (on Earth receiving this message) filled with such deep compassion for humanity that have devoted their lives to this pursuit. They are only several of the many on this beautiful planet, providing me marvelous hope making it tolerable for me. I do this for them. I am in honor, integrity, deepest compassion and strength.

Gaia (Mother Earth)

Namaste

You have all chosen to be here on Planet Earth at this time not just to witness these miracles, but to assist in creating them with your hearts intent and your actions. Thank you all for what your have done and will be doing. Now please share this urgent message from Gaia to all you know and heart centered websites.

Almost spring...

2010-02-07T16:43:00.000-08:00

Today I was greeted by a single sunny yellow crocus popping its head up from a backdrop of green and brown... and I saw more green shoots of crocus, daffodil, iris, and tulip sticking their heads up above the soft wet dirt in my garden, plus the swelling buds of the almond, plum and lilac, so I say welcome to the warming, lengthening days and the promise of spring to come. Almost always in February there is a tease of springtime, with more winter to come, and I suspect that today was just such a day as there is snow predicted for tomorrow night.

I am not much of a winter person, I do not much like the cold, wet winter time, nor the ice and snow, except for perhaps the first few hours after a fresh snowfall where the world is pristine and glitters with the glisten of sunlight refracting from the white blanket that covers everything, hiding the mud and making the world new, fresh and clean again.

But, this morning there was blue sky and sunshine for the first morning in it seems like an eternity, though actually only maybe three weeks or a month of heavy skys dropping copious amounts of moisture to replenish the soil and refill the reservours after what people are calling a long drought. (Actually it rains here EVERY winter). Funny how people (admittedly myself included from time to time) take some wierd pleasure in complaining about the heat, the rain, the cold, the sun, global warming, whatever seems to be happening at the time with the weather, but I digress.

I was determined that I would take advantage of the sun and spend some time outdoors in my garden (still VERY soggy) to see what was growing... and decided it was time to harvest the remaining beets and carrots from last years' garden. There is still brocoli growing, and some of the lettuce from last year is struggling, but the snow peas, garlics and the potatoes I did not find when I dug that bed are all showing signs of life. So welcome to spring!!!

There is an ancient Celtic tradition from the lands of the moors and heather, in the time midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, usually February first, a celebration called Imbolic (meaning "in the belly") occurs which calls to mind the stirrings of the embryo in the womb. For people who's world was lit and warmed only by fire for heat, the cold and ice of the winter season literally holds them in its grip which is only relaxed by the coming of spring and for them meaning a return to life. During winter there were pressing questions of survival; will there be enough food for both the humans and their animals that they depended upon for sustenance? Will illness decimate the tribe, especially in the case of the young, the old and the nursing mothers? A burning questiion was what will become of the animals whose lives are so crucial to our own, the cows and the ewes since their milk is needed for food, cheese and curds which might mean the difference between life and death. This time of imbolic is the time of the birthing of the lambs and calves and their mother's milk would be flowing, so it was a time of celebration, because milk was a sacred food to them due to its purity, nourishment and curative powers.

Which brings to mind the time of birthing for all animal species, and the sacredness of the maturnal nurturing that they provide for their young. The young imprint upon their mother at the time of birth (or hatching) and this provides them with the model of how they are to be as they grow to maturity.

For us as humans, the mother is meant to be there to look after the child and its needs, and the father is meant to be there to see that both the mother and the child's needs are met, because when the mother's needs are met then she can give the child the mothering love and energy it needs to grow into a happy and healthy adult. Unfortunately, we have allowed ourselves to become distracted by the problems we have created on this earth. Many times the father must abandon the family to go to fight some far distant war, and the mother who is meant to be there to look after the child must go to a job and leave her child to be raised and trained by some stranger. If we ever want to experience peace in our human family, we will have to find a way for parents to have the time and freedom to bring up their children in a way that will make them feel safe, secure and loved upon this earth, and able to appreciate what it provides to us.

This day had a limited time in the sun, as the clouds and cold settled back in early in the afternoon, but it was a welcome sign of more to come. Next sunny day, I will have to get busy and prune my roses before they get too far ahead of me, but that will have to wait until the sky and earth dry out a bit...

Till next time,

Traditions.....
This is the time of year to wish PEACE, JOY and LOVE to all, and say Merry Christmas!!! It is the time to experience Love, Light and Laughter in the sharing of experiences with family and friends.

In today's newspaper there was a cartoon, (not very funny) that depicted a tree approximately 20 feet tall, decorated with many round "Christmas decorations". There are two men standing nearby and one is saying to the other one,
"Christmas tree?!"
"NO, NO, NO!"
"It's now referred to as the well-lit, highly ornamented holiday plant."

Another item tells of a holiday scam that there is an e-mail virus disguised as an e-card from American Greetings' popular BlueMountain.com that advises recipient to download Macromedia Flash Plug-in to see the full card. Clicking on any part of the message launches a browser window and it could download virus malware that will search the hard drive for bank account numbers and log keystrokes when computer users log into financial web sites.

A sign of the times we are in, we say, and let it pass.

I will be the first to wish a Happy Chanukah (Hanukkah) to you if you happen to have the Jewish faith, Happy Winter Solstice if you are of the Celtic tradition, a blessed Ganesha Chaturti to if you if you happen to be Hindu, or even a Happy Kwanaa to you if you happen to have that belief (whatever religion that is, I am not certain), and I am sure there are many more I have not addressed here...

But DO NOT make me give up my traditions. They strengthen the moral fiber of the family and support loving relationships. PLEASE... Let me have my Christmas tree, my Christmas Carols, the school Christmas pagent, with the children all excited to be able play their part for the parents, the Mormon Tabernacle Chior (no I am not a Mormon) and the midnight service on Christmas eve. The Spirit of Christmas depicts the the Gift of Love that our Creator gives to us, and we can accept it along with the Peace and Joy that is a part of this Gift and share it with our fellow man or we can pretend that it is "old fashioned, passe' no longer applicable to us" - you choose.

I contend that since I was born in a country that claims to be founded upon a faith in Christianity and a belief in God, but because we have allowed the fear of offending someone who may have a different belief, our once great country has abandoned that foundation of faith, and sacrificed our belief in the Christ upon the alter of our love affair with political correctness.
WHAT have we become???

The result I see is that America is now foundering. It has been engaged in endless wars, loss of manufacturing jobs due to corporate greed for cheap labor to increase profits for themselves and their stockholders at the expense of the working but shrinking middle class Americans, resulting in a severe economic decline, while our "leaders" try unsuccessfully to bail out the perpetrators with tax payer money which has only resulted the national debt being launched into outer space - now well into the trillions (they tell us it is 10, no 11, no wait it is now up to 12 trillion... and that is without counting the actual figures that would show it to be actually be well into the 80 trillion area - if the entitlement programs were included - which by the way must be taken into account). Is this the gift that we want to give to our children? Whether consciously or not, it IS the gift we have given our children and grandchildren into perpetuity, the gift of an unpayable debt...

It is time to refocus, to allow our hearts to guide us back to our roots and traditions, whatever they may be - and that for me is the ability to openly and clearly wish to everyone Love, Joy, Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL men and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Till next time,

Abundance and your energy account

2009-09-09T16:34:00.000-07:00

On the left you can see I've added a photo of my garden as I said I would share with you in my last post.

Some time ago, I promised a coming discussion of abundance and your energy account - so now, here it is.

Since everything is energy, and your abundance is a manifestation of your excess energy, then how you manage your energy will reflect in how you manifest abundance in your life.

Consider this analogy: each morning when you awaken you have been given 300 energy credits for the day. During the next 24 hours, you will use the first 100 of these energy credits primarily for the maintenance of your physical vehicle (nourishing, cleansing, exercising your body and replenishing the cells that have become either damaged, destroyed or that die). The remaining 200 energy credits are then available for you to use in maintaining your family and children, living space, your work, your relationships, your emotional state, your possessions, your pets, hobbies and the life work you are engaged in.

When you become angry, fearful, argue or fight with your loved ones, feel out of sorts, have difficult sleep due to worry or physical pain, or your body becomes ill, it is a signal that you are using your energy credits at a greater rate than you are accumulating them, and therefore you will discover that eventually your abundance is diminished. You may discover unexpected expenses that you will face as a result, such as a car breakdown forcing an expenditure of money you may not have available. You may notice that you feel unable to share your energy with others because you feel that there is just not enough for yourself, let alone to any extra to give any away.

When you are aware of being depleted of energy, refocus your thoughts and become aware of where the energy is going… are you surrounded by possessions that no longer bring you joy or are useful to you… If this is the case, you may find that releasing these possessions will free up energy just by cleaning them out of your space. The energy you save by eliminating the clutter and unwanted items in your space, can be redirected toward creating abundance in your life.

Practice an attitude of gratitude and appreciation for what you do have, it will serve to attract to you more blessings throughout your day. Give from your heart what you find you have in excess, and watch how what you give away returns to you multiplied… whether it is a smile, time, or even a small amount of money to someone who is even more in need than you are.

Another way to guard against excessive loss of energy and maintain what you have is to turn off the nightly news! Most of what is broadcast is designed to instill fear and manipulate your thinking to make you compliant and easily controlled by the powers that be who want to keep control.

The recent “swine flu” scare is a perfect example. All over the news lately is found the drumbeat of "get your flu shot, get your flu shot". Before accepting the jab, consider the information that was shared by Dannion Brinkley in his recent book, “Secrets of the Light” where he talks about the visions he was given in his three experiences with death and the mission he was given to come back and share this information with all of us here on earth.

He was clinically dead three different times, and he passed through the tunnel into the “crystal city" where he was met by 13 beings of light and instructed to come back and share what he learned. One thing that he is telling us, is that death is not something of which to be frightened, which he describes at length in this and his two previous books. More, we need to be concerned with what we may have to face while we are still here in life in our bodies. His visions of the future on earth from his first death experience years ago, the outcome of which are truly in our hands and are not “set in stone”. He resisted sharing them after his first death experience for fear people would think him crazy at that time, so he was given two more death experiences to encourage him to share the information. Specifically he tells of:

The manufacture of computer chips to be implanted in people, world authorities mandating the insertion of chips under the skin of every man, woman and child. A chilling message that these chips could contain software necessary to end a person’s life at the government’s discretion. This would be accomplished by radio activation of the chip causing it to dissolve into a deadly viral material of which it was constructed.

There is discussion of the possible medical benefits, etc. then he goes on…

While chips that may be passed off as a helpful or benign innovation of computer technology wizards, he believes all chips that may be implanted need to be considered with great caution – there is a menacing side of these technologies and we must be aware and beware. The chips could not only give away our identities, but also could end our lives. He calls them chips of mass destruction, and there is an intention to implant them as a part of the process of routine administering of immunization in all babies. The more ominous application of these chips might impinge on the autonomy of our children and grandchildren.

Then he discusses the fact that there are nanites in the syringes administering the swine flu shots. The first shot contains nanites that stay in the body, then combine with the nanites in the second shot… beware of the intentions of those who are in control of the cabal known as medical/pharmaceutical/industrial complex.

Additionally, on this same subject, I have included an excerpt from David Icke’s website and directions to access his 9/6/09 newsletter regarding this “coming pandemic”.

From: FLU IS NOT THE BIGGEST DANGER ... IT'S THE VACCINE By David Icke

The excellent work of people like the American researcher and author, Patrick Jordan, have exposed the unfolding plan to kill vast numbers of people through engineered viruses and vaccines. He says that they have long perfected vaccines that switch off the human immune system and US troops have often been used as guinea pigs.

Patrick Jordan's research uncovers a three-vaccine system that the Illuminati have developed. The first inoculation turns off white blood cells (the immune system); the second injects viruses; and the third switches the immune system on again.

In the middle period viruses are expanding around the body, but the person doesn't feel sick because the immune system is not fighting them. When the immune system kicks in again it unleashes such an assault on the virus cocktail that it kills the body.

This is known as a cytokine storm when the immune system is so overwhelmed that it sends too many antibodies at the same time to infected areas of the body and the body kills itself.

http://www.davidicke.com/content/view/25191

The David Icke Newsletter, Sept. 6th, 2009 "A STRENGTHENED VIRUS AND A POLICE STATE " (Note: This newsletter, along with others going back to 2005, is available to view on www.davidicke.com by logging in and clicking on "newsletter archive" on the left-hand side menu)

I highly recommend that you do your own due diligence, research every where and everything you can to determine whether or not you will allow the foreign substances in the syringe carrying the vaccine and all sorts of other unknown substances to be injected into your body and the bodies of the children that were entrusted into your care when you gave them life/birth/physicality.

Til next time….

Summer's Bounty

2009-08-21T18:41:00.000-07:00

It is hard to imagine that summer is 2/3 complete as of today.

My garden, small orchard and two hens are all producing more food than I can consume, and it is time to begin the process of harvest and preserving for the cold months, though they seem to be a ways off -- the feeling of autumn is in the evening air.

It never ceases to amaze me how the lengthening of the days until the summer equinox seems to take so long, while as soon as it passes, how quickly they seem so much shorter!!!

This summer is cooler than the last, and most of my tomatoes have not yet turned from green to red, but squash, beans, salad green, snow peas, onions and the lovely nastursiums to put into my salads are abundant and lush.

My parrot and I ate the peaches from the tree until we had our fill, and now there are three dried quarts which is about the equivalent ten quarts canned... The satsuma plum tree is laden with so many I am not going to even try to estimate how much there will be, and they are just now starting to soften and sweeten, so harvest and drying will begin within probably no more than a week. There is something about tree ripened fruit that is dried at its peak, sweeter than candy and so much more nutritious - drying does not destroy the enzymes or vitamins the way canning does and it is a much simpler process. Next come the apples, which can keep or be dried -- although last year I made several quarts of apple butter that is to die for, so that may happen again this year.

I can only be extremely grateful that Nature tends to be bountifully abundant, especially in the summer. My wish for you is to enjoy the fruits of summer and savor these last few days before the cycle returns to cooler days and the return of winter.

Recently I discovered that someone in Pasadena in Southern California has an urban garden that is producing massive amounts of food. So even in the heart of a large city the joy of being able to grow your own food is possible, and I highly recommend it -- as a hobby, for recreatiion or just for the opportunity to reconnect with the earth. You can actually watch the 10 minute video at this link: http://solari.com/blog/?p=3903 The video inspired me to take a few photos of my garden this morning, so if they come out (I still use an old fashioned camera with film....) I may post one or two here.

Be well, and prosper in the abundance of this beautiful planet that is our home.

Till next time,

Merlyn

Back From the Brink

2009-08-04T15:31:00.000-07:00

Health & Wealth - These two issues are front and center in the news lately.
We think about our health, usually when we notice we are beginning to loose it.
We think about wealth as something that is illusive.

We have beliefs that have allowed us to accept that there is nothing we can do about this. Many have decided that the only solution is for the government to step in and take care of "it" for us. Because of this, we are giving up our free will, in exchange for being told what we can and should do or not do.

The government is discussing health care reform, yet the US has signed onto CODEX alimentarius under the UN, which limits the potency of supplements and the availability of natural health remedies, in deference to the pharmaceutical industry.

Billions of "stimulus" dollars are being spent to "bail out" those who made the financial blunders which caused the current economic crisis and the money seems to be going to those who already have it, with little or none "trickling down" to the average person, and we will all (including our children and grand children for generations) end up paying the price through increased taxation.

It is fascinating to me to realize that these things are occuring right now in this country, and even more so because so few people look at these issues and wonder what went wrong, how did we allow this to happen? The belief seems to be rather, that the government needs to take care of us, and therefore we have sold our birthright for enslavement and "security".

Yet beliefs are simply thoughts that are held to be true. Most beliefs were given to us by others before we were able to discern their validity. Yet beliefs can be changed. Your personal experience can provide new information and old beliefs once held to be true can be changed based upon new data.

If your life is not producing the results you would prefer, look at your limiting beliefs, do they serve you or are they blocking you.

Beliefs generate your thoughts -
Thoughts create your reality -
So to change your reality, change your thoughts and to change your thoughts it may be necessary to change your beliefs.

Be aware of your language, what are you speaking into existence...
If you say "I want to be wealthy", the result is that you will continue to "want to be" wealthy, you will never actually be wealthy. It is more supportive of your desires to intend what you want into being, as an example the statement, "I intend to create wealth".

So step back from the brink of the precipice, let the rest of the lemmings fall off of the cliff and take charge of your own reality by making the conscious effort to intend your life into being, from monitoring the beliefs you hold, which generate the thoughts you think, and experience the reality you would prefer.

Until next time,

Merlyn

Choices we make, the paths we take.

2009-06-23T15:40:00.000-07:00

Choices we make, the paths we take.

Very early in life, we, at least in these united States, are pulled away from the influence and guidance of our parents into the educational system. It was designed that way. There are as many reasons for this as there are parents, but the chief reason is the economic necessity for both parents to be included in the workforce in order to generate money to provide for what we perceive are our family’s required necessities.

So the children are put into day care as early as possible so mom can go to work, giving up her most important job of all – that of teaching her children how to become responsible and creative citizens, passing on spiritual values and morality as much by example as by setting boundaries and guidelines, instead turning these extremely important tasks over to someone who is paid a pittance to manage 30 or so barely potty-trained toddlers.

An ancient teaching states, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, therefore, train up your child in the way he should go, and when he grows old he will not depart from these ways.

In the absence of the mother’s influence, what values are these young minds trained into? Show up, be on time, stand in line (quietly), follow the leader, do what you are told, and don’t ask questions. A child that asks too many questions, is too creative, too energetic is often labeled ADHD or some other condition that basically means that they do not conform to the norm and therefore require medication in order to be manageable by the overly stressed teacher in an overcrowded classroom.

This is how the government sponsored educational system was set up following the Prussian model to train the worker bee mentality into a major portion of the populace to supply a labor force for the corporate world. As Woodrow Wilson aptly put it, a much larger group (of the population) “a majority must forego the privilege of a liberal education in order to fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks”.

So our children are taught to work hard, get a good education, find a good job so you can get a good retirement after forty years…None of which is any longer working, but we are conditioned to this enslavement by the choices we make based on the training we receive from an early age.

We are constantly making choices that further enslave us, or work toward freeing us from slavery.

Slavery?

Yes, we are no longer free to choose other than to continue on the path we have already chosen, because that is how we were programmed, conditioned, of if you prefer the term “brainwashed”.

The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.
~Dresden James

Choices have circumstances and consequences.

We choose to save or spend money. We choose to try to emulate the lifestyle of those who we see as successful, etc., etc., and so forth…

Changing habit patterns takes first being conscious of the pattern, then making a decision to make a change, followed by action. Ask yourself a few questions about your habitual daily routine, then see if there are different choices you could make that would help to break the chains that hold you back from your true freedom.

Consider questions such as:
Am I getting up to the jarring sound of an alarm clock at “0 dark thirty” because I just can not wait to jump out of bed, drive in half an hour of traffic (or more) to go to an office and sit in a little box under florescent lights for 8 hours, then go back via the similar traffic to my home (that I have a huge mortgage to pay for every month just to sleep here)?

When I get home, am I energized from the work that I love doing, or am I too frazzled to want to do anything other than sit on the couch, with beer in hand and watch the TV so it can program my mind to go out and spend more money on something I do not really need, so that I have to stay in this endless cycle?

If you want you life to stay exactly as it is, do nothing. If you would like to see improvements, start to ask questions about the choices you are making and where possible, make choices that can provide different results in your life.

Till next time, when we can explore abundance and your energy account…

beginnings.... It IS Energy, Your Energy!

2009-06-16T12:50:00.000-07:00

As a newbie to the blogging world, I am beginning at the beginning.

You may well be wondering what the title, It's Energy relates to. It is our life force energy, yours and mine, that we use, exchange, and share with the rest of the planet.

During the course of a life-time, we use our energy to create what we require, in the form of shelter, sustinance, and relationships. When our stores are depleted, we sleep and renew our energy reserves from rest, the food we consume and re-creation. We exchange our energy in the form of work for money, which again we exchange for whatever we require. When we deplete our reserves to an excessive degree, our body will exhibit something we call dis-ease, which can become a chronic condition of illness if we neglect paying attention to the body's early distress signals.

Stress, fatigue, pain, hunger, anger, fear, and sorrow all are clear signals to us to step back, refresh, restore and rebalance our energy.

There are a multitude of influences which serve to distract us from managing, maintaining and preserving our energy. We have been conditioned to believe that if we do not "go-go-go" we are inadequate producers or will fail the "success test".

What we fail to see, is that we are constantly striving to achieve a target, often it is a goal someone else has created for us, that may be unattainable. This creates an imbalance, a disconnect with our soul nature or higher self, because we neglect this aspect of ourselves.

Life is a series of experiences which we have chosen to learn from, and when we do not get the lesson, it is repeated - usually with more intensity - until we finally do. Then we go on to the next one. We are gifted with an alarm system to let us know when we are off track, our emotions. The the emotions we label as positive, (happiness, joy, ecstasy) allow us to experience lightness of being, where the ones we label as negative (fear, anger, rage, sorrow, hate) signal to us we are stepping into darkness.

Light is equivalent to information - truth, whereas darkness is equivalent to dis-information, withheld knowledge often for the purpose of exerting control.

Come back to visit and learn how to assert your personal power, and reclaim the life energy that is yours by birth.

Until next time,

Merlyn
