An act of kindness

Yesterday I was in a queue at the checkout in the supermarket.  I had shopped particularly carefully, conscious that money has pretty much run out until I am paid in a couple of week’s time.  In front of me was a tired and harassed-looking woman with three quite odd-looking, greasy-haired children, one with a hare lip and misshapen face. I watched as the cashier asked her to fill out a form and saw her obvious discomfort as she was asked which Mairie (French town hall) was paying for her shop. There is obviously some system in France of which I was previously unaware, probably designed with the best of intentions, to enable people in a really desperate situation to buy food in an emergency. I was shocked that the poor woman had to humiliate herself in front of the long queue that was building up behind me in order to feed her family, and could see the children visibly cringing as their mum tried to cover up her shame with bluster and bravado.

As I followed them out I could see her dividing up the contents of the trolley between her children in preparation for a long walk home.  One of the children started to complain and ask why their mum couldn’t afford to fix the car like ‘real’ parents could.  I saw her shoulders sag even further. The sky was black and it was obvious that they would be in for a real drenching on the way home.  ‘Go on’ said that little voice in my head.  ‘I’d love to but I can’t, what would she think, I might embarrass her even more’ I replied to myself.  ‘Go ON’ I thought again.  So I did.  I walked up to her and said ‘I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help overhearing that your car has broken down. It’s going to pour with rain and your shopping will get ruined.  I’m sure you can’t be going that far out of my way.  Can I give you a lift?’

She looked at me in total disbelief.  ‘I’ve blown it’ I thought. ‘She’s going to think I’m an interfering busybody’. And then she accepted, saying incredulously, ‘That is the first kindness anybody has shown to me in years’.  Inwardly my heart leaped and I gave thanks for the fact that I’d experienced extreme hardship in the past and so had been able to pick up the signs, to see through her bravado.  On the way home she explained to me that she had seven children and that her husband, who had worked to support them all his life, had been handicapped.  Their ancient car had broken down and she couldn’t afford to get it fixed. As she got out of the car I gave her half the money that I had in my purse (it wasn’t much!!!).  I will be getting paid eventually (I hope!) and I still have some food in the freezer and tins in the cupboard.  She didn’t know where the next meal was going to be coming from.  As I did so, her eyes filled with tears of joy and relief and she hugged me hard, saying that she couldn’t believe a total stranger would do that for them, when her own family had turned their backs. This was not a sponger, this was a woman who was desperately, desperately terrified about the future for her family.

I’m writing about this, not because I want you to know how magnanimous and worthy I am, but because I want you to know that that one small act brought me unimaginable joy.  That one tiny act of giving lifted me, made my heart sing and I felt an indescribable lightness of spirit.  It wasn’t much, but I really had made a huge difference to someone. I thank God that I discovered Reiki and have finally started out on my spiritual journey, because I know that twelve months ago if I had been stood in that same supermarket queue I would have judged her and done nothing.

Anticipation

All around me in my ‘ordinary’ world all seems to be crumbling; the entire financial system is perilously close to total collapse LINK, Fukushima is continuing to spew out its vile pollution into our seas and air and is clearly having a far wider impact than first thought LINK, civil unrest is breaking out all across the world, there seems to be violence and corruption everywhere, there have been an unprecedented number of unnatural weather events, many people I know seem to be falling ill with life threatening diseases, losing their children, struggling financially, to the point of poverty. Yet in my ‘other’ world, where I can talk ‘openly’ about the changes and emotions I’m feeling; in the closed groups on Facebook, the online communities of healers and people fascinated by the meta-physical, the Reiki shares, there is a very different atmosphere.  Despite the fact that the majority of the people in these groups seem to be struggling desperately in one way or another, there is a quickening, a feeling of anticipation, of excitement and exhilaration.  There is a collaboration and a co-operation, an exchange and a sharing between people across the globe that I have never before experienced.  We sense, we know that something huge is about to happen.  And we understand what comes after chaos.

I feel like I shouldn’t admit this, but I am almost hoping that the financial system will crumble, that whole governments will fall, and that we will finally wake up to how much control the huge corporates have been wielding and the total corruption practiced by many of the super-wealthy.  It is a shame that we have to be pushed so hard before we react, but now that more people are opening their eyes we can start to build something wonderful, something fair, something sustainable.  The guidance I have received in recent days has been more practical than spiritual; start a vegetable patch, plant herbs, get some chickens, energise the drinking water and food eaten by my family, make sure the (previously injured, now Reikied!) horse that has stood idle in the field for what seems like forever is well handled and starts to come into work.  I’m listening carefully. These days I have total trust in my inner guidance system. 

Human antibodies

An excerpt from my latest readings.  This time, it’s The Biology of Belief by the wonderful Dr Bruce Lipton:

‘When an immature immune cell produces an antibody protein that is a ‘close’ physical complement to the invading measles virus, that cell will be activated.  Activated cells employ an amazing mechanism cell affinity maturation that enables the cell to perfectly ‘adjust’ the final shape of its antibody protein, so that it will become a perfect complement to the invading measles virus. (Li, et al, 2003; Adams, et al, 2003).  Using a process called somatic hypermutation, activated immune cells make hundreds of copies of their original antibody gene.  However, each new version of the gene is slightly mutated so that it will encode a slightly different shaped antibody protein.  The cell selects the variant gene that makes the best fitting antibody.  This selected version of the gene also goes through repeated rounds of somatic hypermutation to further sculpt the shape of the antibody to become a ‘perfect’ physical complement of the measles virus. (Wu, et al, 2003; Blanden and Stelle 1998; Diaz and Casali 2002; Gearhart 2002)

When the sculptured antibody locks on to the virus, it inactivates the invader and marks it for destruction, thus protecting the child from the ravages of measles.  The cells retain the genetic ‘memory’ of this antibody, so that in the future if the individual is again exposed to measles, the cells can immediately launch a protective immune response.  The new antibody gene can also be passed on to all the cell’s progeny when it divides.  In this process, not only did the cell ‘learn’ about the measles virus, it also created a ‘memory’ that will be inherited and propagated by its daughter cells.  This amazing feat of genetic engineering is profoundly important because it represents an inherent ‘intelligence’ mechanism by which cells evolve. (Steele, et al, 1998).’

And herein lies my point.  I feel cannot help but feel that many lightworkers are a human version of the same system, here to help Mother Earth and her inhabitants rid themselves of a multitude of ‘diseases’.  In my case, and that of hundreds of thousands of other lightworkers at the moment, I’m pretty sure it’s lack, or poverty, or however you want to language it.  Maybe it’s even the whole damn shooting match of money and the financial system. Perhaps this post will compound a situation that is already pretty dire because it doesn’t exactly have me resonating at the vibratory level that I’d like to.  I know that for the past few years I’ve lived and breathed virtually every law of attraction work that has been written, I’ve followed spiritual guidance from the greatest teachers to the letter, I’ve cleared lives past and present in every form imaginable, I’ve meditated, I’ve prayed, I’ve had other people doing the same for me, there can’t be a root cause of pain that I haven’t uncovered, analysed and tried to do something about, I serve and do good wherever I can.

But when you get that call that says that the sale your family has been counting on to survive has been pushed back another few weeks that fear, that terror, jumps right back into position and starts gnawing a big hole in your gut.  How will you feed your family and your animals? How will you pay the electricity bill and keep the phone and Internet turned on? What will your children have to do without? What is wrong with me that I can’t do anything about this?

This fear in turn triggers other emotions and situations and leads me to become judgemental of others; I’m angry with the notary who has held up the sale, I wrongly judge my husband for not having done more to protect his family, I alternate between frustration, depression, despair, desperation, I feel an overwhelming lack of choice, envy of those who are better off, indignation because I deserve better, shame that I have to ask others and am not a better parent.  One thing, lack of money, caused all those feelings, and a great many more.  What is interesting when I examine these thoughts and emotions is that my feet and lips vibrate furiously, the energy rushes up my spine, and my crown chakra really tightens.  I somehow have an innate knowing that I’m somehow communicating this back.  And then I light a candle, I centre myself, I let the emotion and the fear just move on through, I move back into the moment and I know that everything is absolutely perfect.  Everything is as it should be.  All will be well.


I note too that I seem to have triggered an ability to access universal energy in a good number of the people I have given Reiki treatments to. To 'activate' others if you will.  Others I have treated may not actually be using energy, but I notice that they are posting more compassionate or spiritual content  that is out of character for them.

You don’t have to look too far to know that there are thousands of others, recently awakened, recently ‘activated’ as I was, who are feeling like me, experiencing the same issues, the same fears. The question is, what should we be doing to inactivate and destroy what is causing them?

An endless knot

Yet again, another night, another piece of sacred geometry sent to me at a quiet time when I was most definitely not asleep.  I really must start keeping a pen and paper beside my bed so that I can capture them when they are still really clear in my mind.  It came right at the end of the session with Panache Desai that I had nodded off through the night before, just as the theme music was playing and I saw it as clear as a bell.  Although this time I didn’t feel like it was particularly a ‘message’ for me, more that it was some sort of ‘download’, a bit like when you upgrade a computer programme. My entire body was absolutely buzzing with energy both before and after, and sleep was pretty much impossible.

This one was a version of the endless knot (or eternal knot).  How do I know that? I didn’t! But on waking I Googled sacred geometry in the hope that I might see the image amongst the symbols that the search would invariably throw up and it was the very first one I came across!

Information seems to be coming thick and fast to all of us affected by these changes of late.  Many of the spiritual and personal development teachers and speakers who I have been listening to recently are claiming that their latest ‘package’ was a complete ‘download’ from the Divine (Rikka Zimmerman, Panache Desai, Kenji Kumara, Anne Taylor amongst others – Anne Taylor even goes so far as to incorporate requests for God to ‘use his new technology’ in her healing prayer sessions).  Channellings via sources I have grown to trust for their incredible accuracy seem to be coming on a more regular basis and are becoming increasingly more specific.  The intuitive horoscope I receive each day always seems to be bang on the nail.  Each day I have a daily message that pops into my in tray and it is always, always, perfect and exactly what I need to read at that particular moment.  I have no idea how I subscribed to it, or what the source is, and for once it never tries to sell me something or get me to visit a certain website.  New relationships, both virtual and real, seem to be forming at an incredible rate, as pertinent information flows back and forth between the various communities.  I wonder if cells communicate in a similar way, receiving downloads of the information they require so that they can go on to develop into the arm or the leg they were designed to become?

I would stress that what I have been listening to and reading has not all come from the same source.  I’ve been blessed to find incredibly rich and intriguing variety of material from around the globe recently.

So what does the endless or eternal knot represent? According to Wikipedia it is an ancient symbol, one of the eight auspicious symbols and is found in places significantly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism such as Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Kalmykia and Buryatia.  There are many variations, however, to be found throughout numerous other cultures such as Chinese knotting and the Celtic knot.

The endless knot has been described as ‘an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the Spiritual path, the flowing of time and Movement within That Which is Eternal. All existence, it says, is bound by time and change yet ultimately rests serenely within the Divine and the Eternal. (source Wikipedia)

Amongst the various interpretations offered, several of which ‘speak’ to me are:

• Eternal Love and Friendship
• Samsara (the endless cycle of suffering or birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhisim.
• The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion
• Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe
• The mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs
• The union of wisdom and method

I was also prompted to Google ‘Symbolism Illuminati’ this morning, which is really not ‘my thing’. Leaving aside (or at least, mentally filing for future reference) the usual warnings that these symbols are inherent in our modern society and the many links to Freemasonry, what stood out for me was how powerful these symbols seem to be energetically.  And it once again leads me to wonder about their significance in crop circles found near Leylines around the world.

I also received a very interesting update this morning from the ever-wonderful and talented Elizabeth Peru advising us to be very conscious of being responsible for our energy.  She suggested magnetising the food and water we drink.  One reader replied that they have recently felt compelled to regularly charge their water and that they can taste the difference in their 'Reiki water'.  They said it seems softer, cleaner and seems to have the cellular memory of waterfalls.  I wonder if it is simply to power up our energetic field or if it is also to negate the effect of all the additives, hormones etc in the food & water we buy these days, over which we currently have little control.

Part of a global 'immune system'?

Over recent weeks my ‘Ascension symptoms’ have continued unabated so I was intrigued to come across this article: spiritual awakening quiz and to find that I’ve been regularly experiencing around 45 of the 51 spiritual awakening symptoms.  I’ve grown to welcome and love them; I find the whole experience incredibly exhilarating and exiting.

Yesterday a friend passed me a channelling about the Earth Star chakra that I found particularly interesting: the2012scenario.com/melchizedek.  Ever since I did my first Reiki initiation I have had tingling in my feet and in recent weeks they have vibrated powerfully on a pretty permanent basis – in fact, if my feet aren’t tingling these days I start to wonder what’s wrong! The channelling made quite a lot of sense to me, as you’ll have gathered from my postings on this blog that I sense very strongly that we are somehow linked to an energy network that runs through the earth. The idea that we should become more aware of the flow of energy beneath our feet seems perfect to me at this moment in time.

I dropped off to sleep last night listening to Panache Desai (not that he was dull in any sense you must understand, I plan to listen to the rest later today!).  He said that we were never designed or intended to hold on to our emotions but that they should flow, like all other forms of energy.  I awoke in the wee small hours to a thought to which my initial reaction was fear.  Instead of laying there mithering about it, as I would have done only a few months earlier, I acknowledged the emotion, and then simply observed it.  I felt it, I experienced the sensations it created in me and then I focused on my Earth Star chakra and the most incredible thing happened. The fear immediately vanished, out through my feet.  In its place I felt the most wonderful feeling of love and comfort rising upwards through my body.  I can’t tell you how excited I feel by this new (to me?) technique! I had the feeling that I had just formed part of an emotional anti-viral/immune system for consciousness and the planet.  Almost as if I was monitoring and sharing information about a particular emotional response in order that it could be effectively ‘dealt with’. I shall try it again next time I feel a strong emotion and let you know how I get on.

Another development I have experienced on four occasions now, is seeing strong geometric shapes whilst healing or meditating. I use the term meditating loosely because these days I feel connected pretty much permanently and so meditation has recently consisted more of a bit of quiet time for the inner me.  These have been particularly clear and like nothing I have ever experienced before.  As usual, this has been the prompt for me to explore further. It’s all well and good me receiving these symbols but what the heck are they supposed to mean? Are they even supposed to mean anything, or am I just getting the latest download? They are very similar to the sacred geometry shapes that are regularly found in crop circles.  After a fair bit of research I found that the latest of these was not dissimilar in form to the symbol for the heart chakra, although I’m fairly convinced that there was an Egyptian eye of Horus symbol in the middle instead. 

What wonderful synchronicity then to go to our monthly Reiki share and find we were doing a session on the heart meridian using the various acupuncture points.  When it was my turn to give the treatment, I saw clouds of green (the colour linked to the heart chakra) whilst my guinea pig reported a blissful sensation and seeing bright white light.  When it was my turn to receive, I was very surprised at the strength of the energy that one finger pushing lightly on my arm could generate.  My right arm felt as if it was very constricted and engorged, like energy was being pushed through my arm (like squeezing a tube of toothpaste, or having a blood pressure cuff all the way up my arm).  I felt the energy powerfully from the very tips of my fingers, right the way up my neck to the top of my head.  That night I was so wired with energy I couldn’t sleep at all.  The following morning I had a few emotional moments when an incident of loss that had caused me much grief in my childhood (a horse that I’d looked after for several years at the local riding school was sold without me having had the chance to say goodbye), and which I haven’t thought consciously about for years, came to the forefront of my mind.  And then it simply left, leaving me feeling light and fantastic as it went; almost as if yet another block in my subconscious that had been removed.  This is just one example; all around me old issues seem to be rising to the surface in order to leave.

Struggling with money?

Yesterday a Twitter and Facebook friend and fellow lightworker, who I love to follow and who is clearly struggling financially at the moment posted:

http://pipmiller.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/the-law-of-attraction-and-recognition/

I duly posted back with a variety of techniques for manifesting.  ‘Have you read the 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor or Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success?’, ‘Give freely what you want to receive’, ‘Visualise what you want to achieve with the money rather than the money itself’, ‘Think about what you are going to do with the money that will help others’, ‘Ask the right questions such as ‘What is right about this that I’m not getting?’, ‘This is not working for me, what needs to change?’, ‘What do I need to do today to change my business/life?’.’  All of which are great techniques…

…but it got me to thinking.

I have hung out on an incredible number of calls and teleconferences recently, and I’m pretty sure that the majority of people on the calls are other like-minded and awakened folk, or healers, mediums, spiritualists in their various guises.  The one thing that has really, really stood out for me is how many of us are in dire financial straits at the moment.  Not just a bit broke, but that gut-churningly, can’t sleep at night, how will I feed the kids and keep a roof over our heads, making ourselves quite literally physically sick with worry, living in total terror type of broke.  It seems that on every call there is a deluge of people asking for advice about how to manifest, and as if to widen the gap, a host or speaker who is doing amazingly well at it.

As a matter of fact, I’ve stunned myself in recent weeks with what I’ve managed to manifest.  An unexpected offer on a house from a client who I’d written off, a client who wanted to pay me for my time and petrol to take them viewing, neighbours turning up with fresh vegetables, buyers making purchases on a website that has not yet gone live.  But what I’ve come to realise is that no matter how much I manifest a corresponding amount seems to ‘slip’ out of my grasp a day or two later.  The big house sale was immediately followed by an obscene tax bill, which left my husband with shoulders sagging and a look of sheer desperation etched across his face again.

Strangely enough, I have gone beyond caring.  I have become remarkably apt at living in that place inside of me where there is no fear or worry, and where I am able to look around me in awe and wonder at all the amazing things that surround me and be glad that I am loved and am of service.  I know that the universe has my back.  When I do get money I give gladly to help others out of a spot, and I have felt compelled to get rid of the ‘Tariffs’ section of my website, replacing it with a ‘Donate’ button which enables people to give what they can afford and if they want to.  I am doing around 15-20 healings a day at the moment, the vast amount of which I do free of charge.  I am making a difference to their lives and know I receive back in so many other ways and I am glad.  But it doesn’t put food on the table, and I think I now know why.

I hesitated before writing this, because I questioned whether it would increase my negative vibrations and put me ‘out of alignment with abundance’, yet another example of ‘I can’t’ which will ultimately drag our family to rock bottom.  Believe me, I’ve thought positively for months on end, I couldn’t begin to count how many affirmations and releasing statements I’ve made and have done everything humanly possible to get rid of ‘karmic debt’.  And yet I find myself wishing with all my heart that someone would come up with a better solution to money; that there would be no taxes (much of which seem to be used to fund greed and war), that half the world wouldn’t be living in poverty to the point of starvation, that we wouldn’t have to pay to educate our children, for health services, our old folk unable to heat their homes and feed themselves. 

And that, my friends, is my point. No matter how much we manifest, I have come to the conclusion that, for the time being at least, it will all go straight back out again because it is meant to be that way.  Because if enough of us are yearning, and I mean truly, powerfully, yearning, for another way, then the power of collective consciousness will somehow make sure that way is found.

The power of cooperation

I haven’t blogged for the past few weeks.  In keeping with the ‘coming out’ theme, I told one or two close family members about this blog and had such a negative response from them, or more precisely, no response at all that I felt unable to post with complete honesty.  It was almost as if they think I’ve gone off the rails a bit, and if nobody ever mentions energy work again then I’ll just go back to being ‘normal’.  Boy, have I got some news for them, energy healing is well and truly integrated into my life (in fact, I struggle to understand how I’ve made it through the past 46 years without using it on a daily basis), and I can’t imagine a future where it isn’t a part of what I do.

Over the past few weeks I feel so much clearer about Reiki and have become fascinated by many other energy healing and intention related modalities.  The ‘ascension symptoms’ have gone on unabated – over the past few weeks I have felt like I’ve had ants in the crown of my head and the small of my back between my shoulder blades tingles pretty much permanently.  I’ve grown to welcome these sensations, and feel so constantly ‘connected’ that on the rare occasion I don’t have some sort of tingling, vibration or buzz somewhere in my body that there’s something not quite right. I don’t feel ungrounded, quite the contrary (and my feet seem hardwired to the earth these days), but I don’t feel I need to ‘call’ the Reiki, it is just continually part of me.

I had planned to use this blog to describe and record various treatments that I’ve been involved in, but it would be a physical impossibility.  In the weeks since I started I have seen so many of what I previously thought of as ‘miraculous’ healings that there simply wouldn’t be the time to document them all.  I can’t say I’ve become blasé, because I am in continual awe and gratitude, but I have had so many emails, texts, and phone calls of thanks that I have pretty much come to ‘expect’ the Reiki to work.  But of course, why would it do anything else? I trust the energy so much. I’m quite overawed by the sheer volume of requests for treatment, and the amazing and consistent results. I’ve treated friends, family, neighbours, people I’ve never met, people who I only have a pseudonym or an email address for, dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, situations.  I’ve done hands-on Reiki and treated people and animals from all around the globe for all manner of illnesses or emotional problems; in France, the UK, USA, South Africa, India, Germany, Ireland, Canada – the list goes on.  And pretty much without exception, the recipients have reported an improvement.  At one point I had too many requests to manage, so decided a group healing for an assorted mix of animals and humans with various ailments across the globe would be better than doing nothing at all.  I sat outside in the garden with a cup of coffee on a glorious spring day and simultaneously sent 19 different treatments (needless to say, it was a longer session than usual).  18 of the 19 noticed a shift (and I haven’t heard from the 19^th, so have no idea whether it worked or not). Truly incredible. And if I can do it, anyone can do it.  It is a basic human right and ability.  I’m not specially gifted, we are all more powerful than we ever knew.  Why aren’t we teaching this stuff in schools?!!! Can you imagine how much taxpayers’ money could be saved?

I have also been experimenting, combining Reiki with intention statements/prayer, to see if the results are more powerful and have been participating in a number of intention experiments for peace.  I can’t wait to see the results; I sort of already ‘know’ what the outcome will be.

One thing that I have noticed is how much energy there is when a group of like-minded people come together, whether physically or in a virtual place.  I have recently started a project to see how effectively Reiki can be used to aid in the recovery from various addictions (if you have previously done any similar work, please get in touch, I’d love to link up) and as a result have sat in on a couple of 12-step meetings.  As someone who now physically feels, and often sees, energy, whether those present in the meetings were consciously aware of it or not, the loving, healing energy in the room was tangible, my entire body was vibrating, and the evident joy in the faces of the recovered addicts helping others back up on their feet was incredible to witness.  There was an amazing sense of connection in the room, and I have no doubt that everyone present sensed that there was something truly wonderful taking place that was far greater than the sum of individuals.  And without exception, everyone felt the ‘buzz’ that I suspect is what many addicts in their various guises have been trying to recreate, but in a far more profound and powerful way.

I have also sat in on many calls in Shifra Hendrie’s Quantum Healing and Touch series and Darius Barazendeh’s Youwealth series (both of which I can’t recommend highly enough) where people from over a hundred countries have come ‘together’. Without fail the energy generated is like nothing I’ve never experienced before, and it’s clear that many seasoned healers on the calls feel the same thing.  So much so that there have often been issues with the technology dropping out as it can’t handle the increased energy at certain key moments.  Interestingly, even if I can’t make the live call, the energy still seems to remain accessible in that virtual ‘place’ and I feel every bit as connected as if I’d been listening to it in real time.

I’ve watched quite a few of Dr Bruce Lipton’s videos on YouTube and each time I have an overwhelming urge to shout ‘Yes, yes, yes’.  The notion of a fractal universe is compelling and I can’t help feeling that it’s at the root of this current shift that many of us are experiencing; the next step in the evolution of mankind.  If 60 trillion cells in our body can cooperate and function in harmony and ease, what would it feel like if approximately 7 billion people on the planet could do the same? I also love Richard Gordon's concept that the more people learn to self-heal specific illnesses or ailments, the easier it becomes for each subsequent person to self-heal, almost as if the collective consciousness has benefited from the previous learning experience.  The love and energy in those physical and virtual meetings was tangible and uplifting. Each time I spent the following day with a silly grin on my face, literally buzzing with happiness.  Imagine it magnified and multiplied. It might be a cliché, there may be very many people who think it’s impossible.  I’m not one of them. In fact I was listening to Donna Eden, an exceptional healer whose gift is to see the earth’s energy, only last night and she was saying that the colour of the earth seems to be changing from violet to indigo and/or opalescent/crystalline as the vibration of the planet is being raised (Donna Eden interview).  I hear many people say that we’ve been here before as recently as the flower power sixties, but nothing changed.  I believe that the many violet people on the planet at the time were a step in the process.  They didn’t have the technology that we do today in the sixties, the Internet, mobile phones. I believe we have reached a tipping point, a critical mass of people who are alive to the possibilities. And that yes, our version of heaven on earth is entirely possible.
