When you have the deer as spirit animal, you are highly sensitive and have a strong intuition. By affinity with this animal, you have the power to deal with challenges with grace. You master the art of being both determined and gentle in your ap-proach. The deer totem wisdom imparts those with a special connection with this animal with the ability to be vigilant, move quickly, and trust their instincts to get out the trickiest situations.

What is the meaning of the deer totem?

The meanings associated with the deer

combine both soft, gentle qualities with strength and determination:

• Gentleness• Ability to move through life and obsta cles with grace• Being in touch with inner child, inno cence• Being sensitive and intuitive• Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly• Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries

Dear spirit animal, symbol of gentle-ness and heart energy

When you have the deer as spirit ani-mal, you are able to bring gentleness and grace in every aspects of your life, even in the most challenging moments. By inspiration from the deer’s qualities, you can achieve ambitious goals and tackle difficult situation smoothly with a touch of gentleness and grace.

The deer spirit animal will remind you to be gentle with yourself and others. The grace and gentleness charac-teristic of this spirit animal echo the qualities brought forth when living from the heart. For example, the traditional symbol used for the heart chakra has the deer (sometimes also represented as an antelope) as emblematic animal of the energy of love and harmony with oneself and others.

The power of the deer: Grace & de-terminationThe deer horns are great means of de-fending and asserting yourself. Being gentle does not being being defense-less. With the deer as a power animal on your side, you can be strongly de-termined and gentle at the same time.

A mystical totem animal, symbol of regeneration of life and heart energyThe deer’s antlers can grow back once they fall. Because of this characteristic, this animal has been revered in many traditions as a symbol of life regenera-tion. There’s a cloud of mystery around this ability that gives the deer a magi-

cal and mystical quality. If you have the deer as power animal, you could tap into life’s magical ability to renew itself.

A spirit guide to develop sensitivity and intuitive powersIf the deer has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, you may be called to use or develop your sensitivity at vari-ous levels in your life. This animal pow-ers guide you to refine your intuition and psychic abilities. You can refine your re-ceptivity and use your senses and intu-ition to reach farther out.

The deer spirit and vigilanceThose with the deer as animal totem may be inclined to be constantly on the move, being on the look out for the next opportunity. By affinity with this spirit an-imal, you may also be watchful of your “predators”, which translate into a ten-dency to be sometimes overly cautious. It takes time for you to trust someone or feel safe in your environment.

You can invoke the power of the deer to guide you in getting accustomed to new surroundings and people. This spirit guide might show up in your life to warn you encourage you to trust your instinct. The deer spirit animal will also show up in your life to encourage you to take some time by yourself in a quiet en-vironment to rest or in nature. It invites you to find rest and peace in silence.

Spiritual Growth Checkpoint: Planning for

www.sherricortland.com

Page 11: May issue 2014

I’m an author, but I’m also a businesswoman. When I’m not writing books and articles about Spiritual growth, I’m the Di-rector of Specialty Sales for a large vaca-tion ownership company in Orlando, Flor-ida; and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years it’s that whether a goal is personal or professional, detailed plan-ning is what will get us there. And wheth-er we’re setting a goal for a promotion at work, or a goal to add meditation to our daily routine, the planning is the same: Set your goal/objective and work backwards to where you are now. Here are the three steps I take when setting a goal—see if they resonate with you:

1. Identify Your Goal/Overall Objective and plan for multiple successes along the way

Goals and objectives must be specific, and we must set a date to fully accomplish your goal. Sometimes it pays to set mini-goals along the way to achieving our ulti-mate objective; for instance: If meditating for 20 minutes, seven days a week is the goal, start out meditating for five minutes a day, three times a week, and gradually work up to 20 minutes/7 days. Create a calendar as a guideline for increasing the number of minutes and days over a set amount of time and celebrate achieving each mini-goal along the way.

2. Measure your success and evaluate where you are with your plan. If your current plan isn’t working, adjust it ac-cordingly

To know if we’re successful, we must mea-sure our progress, and the easiest way to

do that is to look at our plan and see where we expected to be, and where we are now. If we haven’t met our ultimate or even our mini-goals, then we need to take a hard look at our plan and adjust it. Maybe we tried to reach our goal in too short a time, or maybe something came up in lives that precluded us from being able to reach our goal. When this happens, re-work the plan and back to the business of working on your goal.

3. Never beat yourself up; always con-gratulate yourself for what you’ve ac-complished

Conventional wisdom is that it takes do-ing something forty times to make form a new habit. Reaching an important goal is similar to creating a positive habit be-cause we need to continually take certain actions before we can enjoy success. But If we stumble on our way to the goal post, so what? We can always re-evaluate and adjust our plan. The important thing is to continue and not give up. It’s also im-portant to congratulate ourselves for the progress we have made, and to give our-selves a pep talk so we get back on track.

Get started! Grab a piece of paper or get on the computer and start building your plan today: Determine a goal or objective that you want to achieve, decide when you want to complete your goal, and what steps you need to take to do so. Use a calendar to keep yourself on track. If you use mini-goals to stay on track and some-thing happens to keep you from you hitting one of the steps, evaluate what happened, and re-work your plan to get yourself back on the path to success. Namaste.

Health Benefits of Sea Saltby Helena Reimer

12 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

Page 13: May issue 2014

There are many health benefits of sea salt, which include a healthier mind-set, improved muscle functions and di-gestion. However, sea salt can easily be taken in excess amounts, which can have adverse health effects. Therefore sea salt should always be consumed consciously, and in moderation in order to enjoy the health benefits.

Sea salt is obtained naturally from the ocean waters. At high tide the ocean waters are collected into large ponds, which are then closed off, and the wa-ter is allowed to evaporate naturally from the sun and wind. Listed are a few of the health benefits that sea salt can offer.

AntihistamineSea salt is a natural antihistamine, which can reduce the production of phlegm in those who suffer from aller-gies and/or asthma. It helps to clear up the lungs and nasal congestion, which helps to make breathing easier.

Anti-DepressantIt has shown to be able to lift the moods in those who are depressed. It can help to reduce anxiety and stress by main-taining healthy levels of serotonin and melatonin in the brain. It also helps with sleeping, which in turn can help the body and mind to cope better in stressful situations. Therefore sea salt is a great natural antidepressant.

Muscle Regulator Sea salt is also essential in helping to regulate the muscles such as the heart

and all other muscles in the body. It helps them to open and contract ef-ficiently in order to prevent muscle spasms and cramping.

In addition, it helps to maintain a steady heart rhythm, and reduces high blood pressure when taken with water in the correct proportions.

Helps with DigestionSalt is needed in order for the body to be able to digest any type of food. It helps the digestive system to excrete an enzyme that is needed to break down the proteins in food. As a result energy levels can be increased.

Helps with Weight LossSea salt can also help to prevent a layer of excess fats and proteins from building up along the intestinal walls. Any buildup in the intestinal tract can lead to constipation and other diges-tive problems that eventually can lead to weight gain. Therefore adding sea salt to the diet can help to maintain a healthy weight.

Helps with DiabetesSea salt naturally helps to reduce the insulin needs for those who are diabet-ic, as it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Thus adding salt in moderation can be of benefit for those who suffer from or are at risk for diabetes.

“Peace is a Gift the Soul gives to a heart that is Sincere”

It is a loving thing to care for another’s welfare---however, one must not go out into the night and “tug” on the young shoots in the ground, to help them “grow” faster---Remember, why didn’t Jesus heal the whole world? He could have....But as a Master, he knew that everyone was on a certain path to God, and to intrude, when one was not ready or did not wish for it, was imposing on their free will, and on their personal mission and journey....A true Master knows this...never to intrude, unless asked....

One must trust the process. Everyone and Everything is ready in it’s own time. This accounts for a spouse that may be doing or ‘being’ something that the other spouse would like to see changed.....or....in a child who is not interested in the same things that a parent feels they “should” be; or, even,and especially in oneself...pushing and pushing to be something we are not really sure of, have lost enthusiasm about, no longer interested in, or ready for.

Letting go, is letting the Universe, (God) into our life...letting the abundance, truth, Love, to be the experience of our lives...it is always there; like a moun-tain or tree that you have walked past a thousand times, and then, just that day, noticing it was there, for the first time! God....Love...is always there, al-ways, in all ways...it’s about us notic-

ing....which once again, comes back to all about being Aware...being Aware-ness....and as stated before, it begins with being aware enough to experience gratitude...to find something to be grate-ful for, ...remember....

And once again!.....just breathe.....Love asks for nothing else.

The truth is, ‘we do without doing, and everything gets done.’

And how to rid ourselves of impatience? The answer is acceptance.

“To accept the things I cannot change..”....sounds like a powerless statement when first hearing it....cannot change? But can’t we change every-thing? Or is the questions really, ‘Should We?’....,Looking deeper we find that the peace in this statement is to understand that the REASON to accept is because everything is in perfect order, but that realization usually is evident when look-ing at it from The Universe’s point of view. And yet, from a personal point of view, given any situation, looking back on it you will find that acceptance of whatever had occurred...horrific or joy-ful...it’s always about acceptance that finally brings peace and closure....even the joyful experiences need acceptance in that they then can transform into oth-er experiences...some Grander, some not so grand...but all in all, acceptance brings about transformation, and that is the true path of the Master....transfor-mation leads to Enlightenment.

Page 17: May issue 2014

17 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

How to be in a state of acceptance?

Once again, Gratitude. Being grate-ful places one in a state of least re-sistance...remember, what we resist persists.....Practicing Gratitude keeps one in a state of acceptance because it stops resistance...Remember, resis-tance keeps acceptance away.

Sounds like this is all about a circle? Well, it is, for Love is reflected in Love, is reflected in Love, is reflected in Love, and the circle continues....Life everlast-ing, world without end...sound famil-iar? The truth is simple, and appears everywhere, all the time, whether we are aware of it or not....for Love, which is God, is always there...world without end....always in all ways!

Once again, the circle is complete.

Blessings!

My Beloved Children,

“It is with joy that I greet you this day, for even just the thought of you brings me such delight! The message I wish to share with you today is one of hope, for your days of now and your days of tomorrow are filled with great promise.

What do you see when you look upon a budding flower? Do you just see the bud or do you see the flower in its beginning of fully blossoming? You see within the bud is the beginning of what is to come. The flower will bloom as things flow in the ideal will it not?

Think of yourself as similar to this beau-tiful budding flower. You have already been planted as a seed, taken root, developed your root system, poked your head above ground and have begun the process of becoming the sweetness of the flower blooming in all of your glory.

You may have had some issues along the way, perhaps some storms to weath-er, or rocks that seem to block where you would like to be. This has been part of your journey, your adventure in living life.

Today let us ponder together on you and your life. Look upon yourself in wonder and amazement. You have been liv-ing in a world that has been experienc-ing polarity, or resistance energy. This has offered you many opportunities to live and express and yet perhaps you feel you have not been able to fully live

the dreams your heart calls out to experi-ence.

As we ponder on this, I wish for you to see you as I see you. I see you as the children of great promise with unlim-ited potential. You consciously chose to come and experience life on Earth know-ing that the time would come when you would be able to move beyond all that seemingly was holding you from your dreams.

This is that time My Beloveds, for you are at the precipice of great change for yourself and for Beloved Mother Earth, Gaia. You are remembering more and more of your truth of light, and as you embrace this truth, you shine ever so brightly into the places that have perhaps seemed in the shadows or unreachable, lighting the pathways of your dream to-morrows into reality.

As you begin to recognize and accept your divine truth, you can begin to feel the hope that shines every so brightly. Hope for your life experience to move into greater joy, free of pain, sorrow, struggle or what seems like lack.

These have perhaps played roles in your experiences, and now you desire to have some new experiences of a life that is filled with joy, comfort, vitality and abundance of all kind. Yes, your dreams of heart are budding.

Page 21: May issue 2014

21 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

You might ask, how can I move beyond the experiences that are less then de-sired into the promise of a life filled with all my hearts desires? Let me share with you first and foremost that you are great masters of light in the process of remem-bering your brilliance. It is only a matter of choice and timing, for it is your destiny to remember and experience this truth.

It is a time of great excitement as you prepare to move into a new way of being, a new way of living and expressing that perhaps you have not yet experienced or even dreamed of. If you choose you can find the pathways to greater a free-dom, learn master principles and devel-op your innate gifts and abilities. There are many wonderful tools and teachers available to assist you when you are ready.

You can begin to ponder how, when, what are the steps to my freedom to be my truth, what is it that I desire for my life? With your intention of heart, the ways and means will open up for you to guide you to your hearts desires. Be patient and kind with yourself as you develop and grow, just as you care with tenderness for a budding flower prepar-ing to blossom.

Spend some time each day doing what brings you joy, recognizing your wonder, feeling gratitude for your life as it is and as you are choosing it to become. This will assist you in opening up your mind and your heart into greater acceptance of the sweet vibrations of joy and ap-preciation. These lighter vibrations can

open up so many doors leading to the opportunities you have been longing for.

This is your time to blossom and shine your beautiful truth. This is the hope that I share with you today for now is the time you can dream of your truth and your hearts desires. Dream them into being your reality. You can my beloveds, for you are my children of heart shining with such brightness, filled with infinite potentials and limitless possibilities. It is only for you to choose and allow yourself to open to a new way of being and living. In truth, it is the divine way of your true self. It is your destiny.

I am here beside you cheering you on, lighting pathways of joy. Chanulanaha, remember who you are, for you are my Beloved Children of heart. You are love. You are loved.

Hope shines ever so brightly, lighting the pathways of your heart, the pathways to home.”

With great love, Your Beloved Mother

Life Is But A DreamPart 1

Art by Maryam Morrisonhttps://www.facebook.com/maryammarts

Page 26: May issue 2014

26 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

We use the same word to describe the mystical phenomenon that happens during sleep and the aspirations that we hold for our unfolding lives. I had a dream. I have a dream. Additionally, we are told of a spiritual principle that invites us to view life itself as a dream, unfolding magnificently in a way that re-flects the notion that anything can hap-pen and probably will.

I have noticed that the idea of lucid dreaming is gaining more traction out there in the zeitgeist. When we become more consciously aware of our dream-ing experience while we are sleeping, the more we can bring that conscious awareness to our dream-like waking life and the aspirations that we hold dear as we create our magnificent futures. I feel quite blessed to have devoted my practice to holding the dream as sacred and powerful. And never before has it been quite so clear that we must treat all three of these dream states with the exact same reverence.

There is a mystical text that most peo-ple in the Western world are quite famil-iar, even if they don’t recognize it as a mystical text. I committed it to memo-ry when I was about three years old. It goes like this: “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream!” This may sound like I am trying to be funny or clever, but truly, this is a piece of wisdom that we all learned at a very young age and everything you need to

know about how life works is held within these four lines.

As you might imagine, it is the last line that interests me the most, as life is indeed but a dream we are dreaming up as we go along our way. However, the entire piece can be interpreted to both understand the journey on a deep and profound level. At the same time, do-ing so can offer insight into the principles of interpretation that inform all of the work that I do in my own spiritual practice and that which I teach to others.

One of the most powerful tools in in-terpreting a symbol is the principle of implication. Much like a detective survey-ing a scene for clues, the landscape of an image offers an enormous amount of information. Firstly, we recognize that we are on a journey as represented by being in a boat on a stream. This is symbolic of how we are to move through life. It is, ultimately, a navigation of emotional territory for water repre-sents the emotional body and a stream is a small current, individual-sized flowing of water, much like our individual selves. When we connected in large numbers, we form a river and we are all head-ing toward the ocean of the collective. When examined more closely, we are part of the ne3ver-ending cycle of water flowing, evaporating, being redistributed to flow again. The stream is the fluctuat-ing path that our life is to take and the boat we are in connects to our individu-ated sense of self.

Page 27: May issue 2014

27 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

We are given an instruction right off the bat. We are to row. We do the rowing and we are to row our own boat. Not each other’s. Not someone else’s boat; just your own. Row YOUR boat. And there is going to be some effort involved. How do we know this? The instruction is repeat-ed three times. Clearly, there is going to be some effort involved.

Now just in case we are overwhelmed by all that rowing, we are given a power-ful qualification. Several in fact. The first one I’ll point out is that we are moving down stream. It won’t always feel like it, but we are to know that even when the going is the most strenuous, we are still going down stream. To me, this is akin to the principle that consciousness is always expanding and that everything that occurs happens for your benefit. Even when it looks like anything but this, the truth still remains. We are expand-ing at every moment of the journey. And it’s a gentle ride, which is a very clear suggestion to lighten up and go with the flow. Row gently. Stop fighting. Resis-tance is pointless. When it doubt, choose the gentle path.

And here is my favorite part. It’s sup-posed to be fun. We are told to do all that we do with a sense of merriment. This is such an important principle it is given a lot of emphasis. It is repeated four times; one more merrily than there are rows. That means no matter how hard it gets, it’s STILL supposed to be more joyful than effortful. It’s supposed to fun, so do

everything you can to cultivate joy.

And of course, the best part of all. Life is but a dream. And what are the quali-ties of a dream? It is a magical land-scape in which anything can happen and probably will. It is a time when we are profoundly creative, causing the seemingly impossible to happen just by using the power of our thought. It is a state in which we get to see our blatant humanity while simultaneously becoming acquainted with our precious divinity.

An Excerpt from Shiva Speaks by Rashmi Khilnani

Art by Maryam Morrisonhttps://www.facebook.com/maryammarts

Courage

You cannot be a true Shiva devotee if you are not prepared to walk

on the razor’s edge, if you are not prepared

to face your fears one after the other,

and thereby overcome or transcend them.

Page 29: May issue 2014

Babaji, I find the world over that even people on a spiritual path of one kind or another, still try and please others in the name of so-called unconditional love. I observe that many of your devotees and the devotees of other powerful en-lightened beings chant mantras, perform yagnas, and participate in satsang, and yet continue to be afraid of offending their friends and families, even when this servility on their part leads to a total com-promising of their deepest truth, love, and integrity.

Sometimes, a spiritual aspirant walks their talk in one area of their life, while they continue to sacrifice their integrity in the name of keeping the peace, which shows a total lack of courage.

I find that few people will speak their truth in a crowd, particularly if their expression of integrity is in conflict with the views of the mob. We are past December of 2012, and yes people are waking up and great miracles of con-scious connection are occurring, but this lack of courage that I am pointing out, here now, continues to be chronic and widespread. How can we shift out of this fear of being and embracing who we are, or of loving others through having to say no to them, or even at times oppose the views or behavior of the people we love?

Babaji: Dear humanity, I have come to you through the ages, and each time I have taught you about the tremendous power of the energy of courage. You can-not be a true Shiva devotee if you are not prepared to walk on the razor’s edge, if you are not prepared to face your fears

one after the other, and thereby over-come or transcend them. In esoteric wisdom you are often taught about the path of the peaceful warrior, the spiritual warrior. This voyage through darkness to light is where the sadguru can help greatly. The word guru means from dark-ness to light. The outer guru takes one to the inner temple, in which resides the in-ner guru principle—the “I AM” Presence, the “I am Shiva” presence, the “I am All That Is” energy, and the void of a deep state of meditative consciousness.

I AM THE GURU OF GURUS

It is imperative for human beings now to take responsibility for their lives, their words, their deeds, and their co-creations. The ability to respond from conscious-centered awareness comes from keeping a part of your attentive consciousness in the center of your be-ing which is empty, silent, and in the un-manifest realm.

The energy and the invocation of Durga Mata, of Lord Shiva, of Lord Hanumanji, or of Archangel Michael instantly bring you into a state of courageous moment-to-moment awareness and intuitive, cen-tered knowingness.

Once you have accessed this state and become firmly anchored in it, you no lon-ger have to worry about when to speak and when to be quiet, when to fight the good fight and when to harmonize withothers through gentle silence or peaceful discussion.

In each moment of now, you just calmly or forcefully, as the case may be, follow your inner guidance and wisdom, and you will not be afraid of the opinion of others or offending others, or trying to please or manipulate them into your way of being or thinking.

THE TRISHUL SYMBOL

Meditating on the trishul will take you to a deep place of courageous right thought, word, and deed. When looked upon as Lord Shiva’s weapon of awareness, the trishul destroys the illusion of the three worlds: the physical world, the world of our ancestors, and the world of the mind. All three are transformed by me through the so-called “destruction” into single non-dual plane of existence, which is bliss alone. ow you see dear ones, that there is no true love from a profound spiritual point of view without embracing the energy and practice of deep courage. Love is not for the weak-hearted. The Shiva path is not for the weak-hearted. Samadhi is not for the weak-hearted.

Especially now, as we move beyond 2012 and the great changes that we all face. At the same time, I feel that so many of us, even the so-called spiritually

enlightened, are clinging to the past, to the sorrow and sadness of the past.

Babaji: I observe that most of humanity is feeling a vast amount of fear, stress, and worry in this ending of the Kali Yuga, which involves tremendous change. I en-capsulate the energy that triggers deep courage in your hearts and minds, here now, in these words as I speak them to you. You cannot cross the bridge of fire and water and endure the storms of ac-celerated transformation without incul-cating deep fearlessness in your mind, body, and soul. Your Atma (soul) is es-sentially fearless. Move forward as a spiritual warrior with peace and love and find the energy to speak your truth with courage and to be silent when neces-sary, with an equal amount of bravery and single-pointedness. There will be no self-realization and moving into Satya Yuga without a total and absolute level of integrity, where your thoughts matchyour words, which then match your deeds.

Babaji, I always love your energy of in-tense razor-like truth that cuts through conditioning, secrets and misinformation on the spiritual path. Thank you for am-plifying the energy of bravery and love in our hearts through this dialogue, in this now time, when we are all being in-tensely challenged to let go of lifetimes of samskaras, memories, attachments, desires, people, and places that cannot come with us, as the light we be and are becoming undergo accelerated trans-formation into higher unified conscious-ness.

It is exciting that apparently Muniraji has said that you have once again manifest-ed in a physical body on earth, here now, to guide and lead us, your sincere devo-tees, to a higher octave of our oneness with all that is. I know that, ultimately, you are not a body even though you mate-rialize and dematerialize in one or sev-eral physical forms on earth, from time to time. Could you share with us any in-formation about how to access your en-ergy more powerfully here now, whether it be a bodily form of the oneness that you represent and are, or your energy in its transcendental state, so that we can reduce our fear and come into our know-ingness, with the serenity of moving for-ward in trust and moment-to-moment awareness.

Babaji: My children of the light, you know very well that the darkness, the fear, and the ignorance are illusionary. However, you continue to be completely mesmer-ized and caught up in the drama of Maya: of polarity and the demons of fear-based living and being. I have taught you to re-peat the Maha Mantra, “Om Namah Shi-vaya.” It is there to purify your mind and bring it to stillness—a centeredness that exists at all times, even as you interact with the world.

You know also dear ones, if you allow yourself to connect to an image of me that makes your heart sing, or even in some cases one that may be frightening, you will be able to access my energy with the purity of your heart’s intention with ease and grace. Just chasing after my body form as the ultimate truth is miss-ing the point of that which I am. As you

know dear ones, I am not the body; I am Supreme Being containing the energy of the manifest and the unmanifest at the same time. Ultimately, I am beyond time and space and the truth is that “you and I are one.” I have full consciousness of unity, of my I AMness, which you have forgotten. You now are beginning to re-member, once again, as you wake up to whom you are. I am the mirror of who you be.

There is no point in saying that you are a devotee of Babaji, of Lord Shiva, while being out of integrity in thought, word, and deed. It is useless to talk about practicing universal dharma while not having the courage to stop clinging to those things, ideas, and people that your inner know-ingness, through me or from within your-self, is asking you to release from your reality. Whether I appear to you in bodily form or transcendentally or symbolically, it is all the same. It is ultimately you con-necting to the deepest part of your “I AM” presence which, as you know, is withinyou.

The cave in which I manifested miracu-lously as an 18-year-old youth (not born of a woman), on the gufa (cave) side of the Guatami Ganga in Haidakhan, is symbolic of the deepest part of your inner space. This is your “temple of the within,” which is at one with all that is manifest and which is ultimately supreme, unman-ifest, “isness,” and silence. Ask me and I will answer.Call me and I will appear.Be sincere and my many gifts shall un-fold in your life

Page 32: May issue 2014

Heartfelt sincerity is a key to accessing me.Your purity of heart will determine how much of my presence you will be able to bear without going into total terror. The terror only arises from a heart and a mind that are moving indifferent direc-tions to truth, love and simplicity. If you only pray and do not work for the service of mankind, you are not a true devotee of mine. If you only work and do not bring in the reverence of the divine (which is All That Is) through sacred conversation with the divine (which is prayer), celes-tial singing to the divine (which is Kirtan), ecstatic dancing in gratitude and praise to the divine (which is celebration), then you are not really following that which I have come to teach you.

Thank you, Babaji. It is so easy for us to forget the simplicity of your wondrous teachings. I suppose what we have to remember, Maha prabuji,is that we eat every day for the whole of our lives and so why should we forget to chant every day, to show praise and gratitude every day to the sacred elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether, and to achieve unity consciousness from an ocean of devo-tion through repeating the Maha Mantra, “Om Namah Shivaya,” or for that mat-ter any mantra that resonates with our hearts.

Babaji: My little chelas, devotees (a little joke since there is no one leading and no one following at the highest level of truth), the biggest fear, in third-dimen-sional reality on earth, is the demise of the body, the physical form. This is also caused by a deep fear of change.

For some of you, through the ages, I have recommended actually meditating at the cremation ground until you begin to have the realization that ultimately you are not the body. You are a transcendental be-ing and becoming, and your soul energy continues its journey in another form and then another and another.

If you want to transcend deep fear, then be with the fear, accept it, release denial, and look at it in the face.

Keep meditating on the cause of the ter-ror or anxiety, or keep looking at it and you will find that, if you breathe into the experience and allow it, you will tran-scend this angst and come to a place, on the other side of the fear tunnel, of great peace and in some cases, bliss.

The only way to overcome the fear of the unknown is to face the unknown, step into it and have a thorough experience of it. It is rather amusing for me to observe this phenomenon amongst my human children.

For of course when one experiences the unknown, it transforms and becomes the known. I, Babaji, find this extremely fun-ny, don’t you? One observes that many of you, like my dear Rashmi, are at times captivated with making themselves to-tally frightened through their supremely vivid imagination as a form of excitement and entertainment.

Rashmiji, you and your fellow brothers and sisters may continue this egocentric form of behavior as the divine grants you full free will.

Yes, yes, “the Rash one,” I can hear your mind asking me how to break this so-called bad habit; for as you have seen for yourself, my channeling angel, once you co-create creative excitement in your life,your need to manifest chaos as night-mares, in your case, is automatically re-leased. Ultimately the supreme silence that you be is neither excitement nor a lack of it. It just is.

P.S. So with fear, remember to accept it, embrace it and let it become one with the light which you are within, and there-by transmute it. A great example of the fear becoming bliss is my beloved che-la, Leonard Orr’s cold water rebirthing. Rashmi, Amravati, and many others have experienced immersing themselves bit by bit into freezing cold water, and going through pain and terror and then coming into states of bliss and ecstasy—the po-larity. Powerful practice!

If You’re in Control of Your Life, Stop! Don’t Read This!

Things don’t always turn out for the best. You can cross all of the t’s and dot all of the i’s and still things don’t work out. Two days ago I was six weeks pregnant. Today I am not. Miscarriage is the absolute an-tithesis to things working out. A pregnancy promises joy, laughter and love, and dur-ing a miscarriage life itself falls away from you. For me it was a slow trickle, a gentle waning from full to empty. Yesterday was the worst; every hour announcing in slow unwavering progress the inevitability, the finality of death. And how undignified to experience this misfortune in the realm of the toilet bowl! It all seemed so wrong. Yes, I cried. I had all the normal emotions we go through when in grief. Most of you know what I mean because things don’t always work out.

It can’t be denied, this is very dark territo-ry; but I’m intrigued by the notion that we can move through dark moments in per-fect peace, though we may experience a torrent of emotions in the process. That is because life is not about what’s happen-ing around us. It’s about what’s happen-ing within us. So, yes, we may not get our dream job or our kids might not get into their chosen college. What’s important, though, is how we move through these struggles. It’s not that we should perse-vere or bear our crosses bravely. Howev-

er, in happy times we can cultivate peace of mind and strength. Then in darker times, we can lean on these steadfast pil-lars.

I’ve worked out a method towards that end. Part one – allow your life to unfold. My goal with my spiritual practice is to develop a state of mind that is always allowing. In resistance, I don’t only push away the bad. I stand in opposition to life itself. Life is ups and downs. There is no avoiding that; but you can avoid the emotional eddies. We get stuck, thinking things must be just so or we’ll be unhap-py. This is a weak position. No one can conquer the unconquerable. You won’t always avoid suffering. Yet we persist in our techniques to manifest abundance, health and wealth in our lives, never rec-ognizing the blunder: that attempting to manifest is attempting control and at-tempting control is resisting. With our constant outward focus, we remain un-conscious of the vast and potent energy that courses through all of us. Why not let this divine intelligence take over? Can we find the courage to experience life with-out meddling in the outcome? It takes a great deal of trust - things might not work out. True! They might not. Or they might work out far better.

Last night I was talking to my husband about this very subject. “How do you know that things will work out in the end?” he asked. “I don’t know that they will.” I said. “What I do know is that I am always cultivating peace and working towards an attitude of allowing. So, I hope that ‘in the end’ I have developed this attitude to such a degree that it is a habit. Then, no matter what happens, I can approach it with equanimity. I will always see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

If we can manage to do this, through med-itation and spiritual practice, then even as we move through painful situations, we will have a wonderful foundation upon which to lay our sorrows. Peace will be our companion. Sadness might be there too; or anger or guilt. But remember, and here’s part two, we are not our emotions. Emotions are transient. They come and go. Some stick around longer than oth-ers, but eventually everything passes. Knowing this, we can find the courage to move through any situation with peace in our hearts, even as we experience grief, anger or fear.

Last night I had a dream. I was propelled into the clouds from a vast and chaotic ocean. As I broke through the surface, all was white and peaceful. Resting on one of the clouds was a little gray teddy bear. I reached for the toy and gently returned to a green and luscious earth. When I awoke in the morning, I knew: there will be other babies. Life is wonderful. We can revel in its splendors and rejoice in its beauty. Do it when you can; and when happiness eludes you, remember: all things pass.

We will find our way again. I just know it. Sara Chetkin was born in Key West, Fl in 1979.

THE LITMUS TEST: FOLLOWING THE WINDING

TRAIL OF OUR CORE INTEGRITY

“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.”

Spencer Johnson

Many years ago, when I was in high school chemistry lab, I was assigned to do a litmus test to determine where vari-ous chemicals fell on the continuum from acidic to alkaline or other base compo-sition. I now view that litmus test as a metaphor for learning to discern how to live in harmonious alignment with my in-dividual and relational core integrity from moment to moment. I have found that relying exclusively on analytical reason-ing and apparent factual information of the mind, along with sensory data, can-not always provide me with the best possible insight into the experiential truth and energy flow of the moment, and how to appropriately function or flow in flexible, dynamic, rightful attunement with it. Instead, I have found that sometimes I feel intuitively guided to go beyond basing decisions entirely

on available factual information by dis-cerning what options of perception and action seem relatively consistent or in-consistent with an invisible subtle en-ergy pulse of rightful integrity, involving nonselective integrated openness to my whole experiential truth and my naturally self-consistent indivisible whole real be-ing, recognized as a distinctive energy tone of inner peace, warmhearted car-ing, empathic compassion, regenera-tive life energy, and lightness of spirit, in contrast to an antithetical energy tone of queasiness, biased presumptions, se-lective viewing, lack of self-consistency with the intrinsic wholeness and rightful goodness of my being and everyone’s being, inner agitation, coldhearted cal-lousness, degenerative discord, as well as heaviness and darkness of spirit.

Page 42: May issue 2014

42 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

When my perception and action is right-fully aligned with my heartfelt intuitive core integrity, then I feel that I am truly honoring the intrinsic goodness and pre-ciousness of life or reality in myself, oth-er individuals who I encounter, and the all-inclusive whole of being, rather than distorting, degrading, or cheapening my own truth and the truth of others by di-vorcing or distancing my perception and action from the real energy and experi-ence flowing within and around me. Our core integrity is naturally inclined to be empathically understanding of and com-passionately responsive to the legitimate needs and concerns of others because it is a relational self, a relational center, in contrast to the ego as an illusory, du-alistically separated, divisive, narcissis-tically self-preoccupied sense of self or inner voice.Attunement with my intuitively discerned core integrity heightens my receptive openness to limitless expansive pos-sibilities and flexible creative insights, whereas my energies, options, and re-sources feel more blocked, fixated, con-tracted, constricted, and restricted when I permit myself to be distracted by nar-cissistic ego mind chatter, biased pre-conceived presumptions, demanding expectations, as well as rigid, fear-ori-ented modes of perception and action. Core integrity makes me feel more alert and grounded in real life energy experi-ence, like following an inner GPS, com-pass, or beacon, whereas preconceived presumptions make me feel cut off from the actual flow of energy experience.

We intuitively know that we are living in core integrity when we are willing to relate to, and cherish, what is actually experientially real in self and others rath-er than pursuing some kind of presump-tive “ought to be” or desired “should be,” distorting our view of self and others by projecting various kinds of extraneous definitions, interpretations, idealized or disparaging images, and judgmental de-manding expectations, and exploiting others to aggrandize our own narcissis-tic egos, as in Martin Buber’s distinction between I-Thou and I-It relationships.

When I am expansively connected to the relational flow of energy experience within and around myself, then I experi-ence greater caring warmth of heart and vitality, whereas when I step out of that connective relational flow into narcissis-tic mind chatter, then I experience more inner coldness, inner numbing or dead-ening, and more blockage, constriction, or contraction of my own energies. This reminds me of melting/defrosting ice in my refrigerator, many years ago, (when the refrigerator needed to be cleaned out in preparation for the next tenant of a rented apartment that I was vacating), by repeatedly pouring hot water on the ice until large chunks of it suddenly came loose, all at once. Metaphorically speak-ing, I find that the warmth of expansive, empathically caring connection to other individuals and undistracted attentive-ness to situations happening around me melts away much of the fearful, con-tracted, coldness and heavy denseness of my energies.

Page 43: May issue 2014

43 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

When I am abiding in the flow of my own core integrity, then I sometimes become more attuned to the joyful “song” and “dance” or vibratory rhythmic pulse of my own essential being, my own heart and soul, my true “perfect pitch.” However, resistively trying to escape from the natural imperfections or “rough edges” of life experience only produces an unhealthy process of inner and outer conflict, whereas I find that inner and outer healing naturally takes place when I show flexible loving compassion for the stuck and sticky places within and between us. I find that the best way to bring healing to my own inner pain and negativity is embrace it with love so that it can be consciously restored to the natural wholeness of my being and thereby healed, whereas when I nega-tively judge, blame, reject, and oppose my own fear, pain, and negativity, it fights me back, exacerbating disruptive inner and outer discord. I believe that the best way to compas-sionately transform for the better our individual lives, personal relationships, local communities, particular social net-works, and the whole world, is to select options that reflect alignment with our own distinctive, dynamically flexible, energy pulse of core integrity and ethi-cal responsibility. For example, this in-volves selecting or developing lifestyles, careers, shared relational activities, consumer spending patterns, and vot-ing behaviors that promote compassion, equity, sustainability, and expanded op-portunities for everyone, rather than de-pleting individual and shared resources,

opportunities, and freedoms in an un-sustainable, contracting, manner. Like exercising a muscle to strengthen it, the only way to develop our intuitive core in-tegrity, so that it will be available for us when we really need it, is to gradually practice tuning into the distinctive energy feeling tone of the “heart” core, center, depth, or essential level of our own be-ing when the analytical calculations and apparent factual information of the mind and the sensory data of the body do not seem able to provide us with sufficiently clear, penetrating, and reliable insight into a particular situation, encounter, or decision that we are considering.

Wher-ever I reside, I play Sacred Mantras and other types of Sacred Sound continually, throughout each day and night. While engaged with a full schedule of activities, I chant out loud with my favorite mantra recordings when it is possible...and when that is not possible, I sing along silently. The Power of Mantras is so Benevolent, that even through simply listening to them, your mind, body and spirit are be-ing Purified, Uplifted and Strengthened.

Healing Mantras are Illumination Tools...

they are charged with Light and by re-peating the Sacred Sounds, you spark your inner Light. Constant Mantra repeti-tion infuses the mind and physical body’s many systems with Light. This wise prac-tice heals us mentally, emotionally, phys-ically and spiritually, moving us towards a permanent state of Perfect Balance.

Imagine this: each repetition sends waves of Light through the 72 million channels that exist within you! Through repetitions of these Light-filled mantras, you are ac-tively dissolving negative karmas and the psychic impressions those karmas have installed into your psyche. Chant-ing Healing Mantras is such a Compas-sionate Gift from the Universe! As you chant Healing Mantras your increased Light disintegrates the pockets of karmic darkness that produce your personality’s neurosis.

How does such a simple practice such as chanting Healing Mantras accom-plish so much? Sacred Sound by-pass-es the limited mind, which has energies attached that are hostile and arrogant towards the Light. The tormented and tormenting mind is not the hub of Peace and Wisdom...the Heart is. In order to experience Peace, Clarity, Trust, Intuitive Wisdom and your Cosmic Self, you must reside in your Heart space, instead of the overbearing mental state. To connect with your Heart Wisdom, it is necessary to have a dependable vehicle and chant-ing Healing Mantras provides you a con-sistent Sacred Vehicle.

Through the soothing, inspiring rhythms of the music accompanying the Healing Mantras...and the Power of the Sacred

Sound/chants, you can purify the nega-tive mind, replacing fears, worries, inse-curities and frailties with the Golden Light of the Golden Virtues. For this reason, in every Shamanic Training Intensive and during every Shaktipat Limpia Soul Re-trieval session, we play our Shamanic Trance Chant album. The Potent Sacred Sound waves in our Shamanic Trance Chant, quickly moves the listener into a deep connection with their Higher Self, opening doors to a vast array of Cosmic Experiences.

The Greatest Cosmic experience is Divine Love. As the mind is purified, and you connect with your Soul Essence, your Heart blossoms with the fragrance of DIVINE LOVE. All revered spiritual qualities can be expanded within you through the chanting of Holy Mantras, so ALL personality types can improve the quality of their being. I especially En-Courage those beings with perfectionist natures and overly active minds to en-gage in the constant chanting of Healing Mantras, to avoid becoming obsessive or bitter perfectionists.

All places also benefit from your emana-tions of Sacred Sound. To protect places and spaces, you can write the Healing Mantras on paper or poster board and post them in any space, along with oth-er prayers, affirmations and power-full quotes. You can close down negative portals by reciting Mantras at doorways or any place that has a negative pres-ence to it.

If you wish to create a strong shield of Spiritual Protection for yourself and the

spaces you reside/work in, it is wise to have a music system that has a repeat function so you can saturate your mind in the Healing Vibration of your favorite Sacred Mantras. It is best to never stop the flow of Healing Mantras in your at-mosphere, so I recommend that when it is time for resting or engaging in certain activities that require a lower volume, simply play the Mantras at a subliminal level, where you barely hear it, but it is still circulating in the atmosphere. Every note of Sacred Sound is feeding the atmosphere of your living and work-ing space, so I recommend you make it a priority to collect a large selection of Sa-cred Sounds, so you can play Mantras that suit your various moods or the needs of the Invisible World that exists around you. By remaining astute to your Divine Guidance, you will All Ways be clear as to what energies you need to nourish and the Mantras the Invisible World is re-questing from you. Energy Transformation and Soul Heal-ing is a science and we must have the proper tools to maintain our power at the optimum level. For this reason, when the Global Peace Team Musicians and I re-cord Mantras in albums such as the Mys-tical Protective Shield, Kali Durge Namo Nama and Peace Is Triumphant, we in-clude tracks which relax the body, oth-ers to support your medium level activity and high-energy tracks to empower your dance movements and clearing work whenever you must engage in intense battle against dark forces.

I EnCourage you: Dive into the Ocean

of Divine Healing and Transformation...SING…CHANT Healing Mantras with full GUSTO! By chanting, you flow Joy through your entire being and your Bliss also nourishes the Legions of Light and Forces of Compassion that illuminate your Path.

The formula is simple: as you offer Sa-cred Sound to the Universe, the fire of your Gusto…the Enthusiasm of your ac-tions…and the Devotion that will burst within you, will deliver to YOU waves of Happiness! On top of that, your Radi-ant, Faith-full chanting uplifts every sen-tient being, every reality and every plane of existence. The Law is that whatever emotion or intention you radiate, ema-nates from you, then returns to you in a multiplied Strength. Imagine the Bless-ings that will return to Bless you as you sing out to the Universe!

Repeating prayers in normal speaking voice or in silence can fill us with Seren-ity...and chanting/singing our Prayers in full voice, propels us into a Bliss-full state! When we sing Sacred Sounds with deep emotion, we are filled to the brim with the Soul-Satisfaction of doing what our Divine Self cares most about: Serv-ing all Creation by existing as a Flame of Radiant Love, Bliss and Peace.

Bliss-full chanting! JAI JAI MAAAAAA!

I discern our world as divided. Two worlds. Two altered,

inherited and applied worlds. Two class-es or species.

Duality subsists everywhere.

We live in a peculiar “Metropolis” cos-mos, or simply… we live in what this sort of “Metropolis” cosmos has cre-

ated.

Authorities still remain enraptured alike values in the system – a system of additional values that have been

shaped (or even better ... manufactured) through the labyrinthine mental creation (Ancient Greek :γιγνεσθαι/gignesthai) of

a decadent humanity.Mutations look like solar activity, not dis-

tinguishable from the fermentation happening on the physical level, on the

material assets.

Time is lost and we recede along with it from the old regime, carrying with us the

Luggage of the Past.

Since when ?

I feel like Jack Kerouac in an endless road , as an observer of events and de-

coder of hidden myths.

I create my own Luggage of Knowl-edge and Memories.

Only that the luggage grows and the world shrinks.

Where to deposit and preserve this ma-

terial?Who will guard the Luggage of Knowl-

edge, when departing to the other side?

The luggage will be left behind the Star-gate.

Only the full of Love and Compassion Soul will be crossing through

this gate.

The innovation of a good mindSometimes I remember Kevin Trudeau

speaking on his “Law of Attraction” dialogues for the world that we live

upon, how we could use the power of the mind, the Law of Attraction, the will-ingness to learn and evolve in such en-vironment, and how to change for better our lives and the world surrounding us.Many great minds spoke of this world

and the strength as well.

I myself wrote a whole book (my Greek fantasy novel) about faith and strength.I believe that both essences sustained

me to get up here through an earthy abyss with many ramifications .

The abyss resides within us (in a literary way) and governs us as long as we carry and not care to overcome it.

Even worse is the fact that this abyss lies beneath our feet, and unfortunately

the world succumbs within it.Only changing could we overcome this

dark pit, and move into Light

Personally I do not expect anyone to fol-low me. I started walking on this trail

and continue it alone.

If anyone wants to continue must dis-close his path, and move accordingly.

Regarding the talent ... it’s just a single gift. Carry and share it as Christ did with the bread for the hungry world.

As long as you offer and share it, the gift comes back.

Only through innovation could you exist and share.

And just handing out gifts you could ex-ist.

But if you cannot meander, you cannot possibly survive. And when not survive

charisma is lost.

Unfortunately many Charismatic people allowed their charisma become the

Wolverines’ food, for they did not fore-see or never loved themselves and this

charisma as well.

The self - esteem is boldness. A true revolution in a dreaming, misleading

and manufactured world.The accusers are many and so “He that is without sin, let him first cast a stone”...

The true revolution is made within us, discovering ourselves and defeating our personal demons or accusers who they

are fed upon our brains .

Without this victory over those who are fed on the flesh and energy, we should

not speak about revolution.

Only discovering Self - Love we become better, and essentially make this world

even better.

Because we re-make the world of our truth by loving ourselves!

Climate Change: Another Perspectiveby Douglas Stuart, PhD

Page 54: May issue 2014

54 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ May 2014

Like the old joke about the weather, so with climate change - everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. We feel helpless… but are we?

Let’s look at it from a systems perspec-tive. Consider the Earth as a complex living system, Gaia, and human activity in this Anthropocene age as the greatest continuous influence on Gaia. Further, suppose that consciousness is 1) the ba-sis of all life and 2) an unbroken quan-tum field. It’s everywhere at once, all the time, as illustrated by the mysterious phenomenon of quantum entanglement. A quantum particle can be entangled with (infinitely many) others, so that whatever change happens to one entangled par-ticle anywhere is reflected instantly in all its entangled partners wherever they are, even at the farthest reaches of the universe!

Consider the global entanglement of human beings; someone flaps his big mouth here and a war starts on the oth-er side of the world! As physicist Brian Greene says, “…our universe is not local.” (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/spooky-action-distance.html) If the universe is not local, then conscious-ness is not local. And, if consciousness is not local, then everything is intimately entangled. Everything is one big system, interconnected, interdependent and in terrible disequilibrium. Science has es-sentially confirmed a version of Jung’s collective unconscious, and realizing this opens up a new discussion.

Since human consciousness is collec-tive, non-local, then changing how I think affects, in some small way, how you think, and vice versa, and how we all think affects Gaia, of whose conscious-ness we are each a part. (Clearly, how we act affects Gaia; there is no longer any question of that. Is it such a stretch to extend this to the thoughts and emo-tions out of which our actions spring?)

Each of us is essentially a microclimate, with an obvious effect on our immedi-ate environment and a small but real ef-fect on the total, the macroclimate. It is quite impossible to separate the billions of microclimates from the macroclimate. That is, the macroclimate is essentially the sum of all that happens on and in the earth, its atmosphere and its oceans. The mind, the consciousness, of Gaia is traumatized by the thoughtless destructive actions of its anthro-inhab-itants. And this is reflected in its earth-quakes and volcanic eruptions, in its storms and its changing seas, its warm-ing atmosphere, melting glaciers, shrink-ing rivers, and deteriorating soil.

And this is what the indigenous peoples have been saying for a long time, much more simply. We’ve made our mother sick.

So, the greatest impact we can have on climate, to correct the imbalance, to heal Gaia, is to change our own thinking (and actions), to change the microclimate of ourselves and radiate out in healing waves to correct the macroclimate. Each of us has the same power and the same responsibility.

Gaia is very strictly a reflection of the mental and emotional climate of human-ity, responding to and mirroring the tur-moil of our lives and cultures, our per-sonal, national, and global conflicts, our anger and hatred and greed and violence against ourselves and against our Gaian home, the Earth.

Forget the governments, the global cor-porations, the international organiza-tions; our survival is up to each of us.

Change your mind; change the world!

Reiki is an omnipresent divine invisible form of energy influences living and non livings creatures. The universal energy resides in every micro particle of the uni-verse. Reiki is a simple yet divine tech-nique of healing body/mind /spirit. The reiki works on three dimensions of frame working in the whole, complete and cor-rect manner. Reiki works as an atom-ic reactor it raises the frequency of all heavy, negative and discordant energy into divine vibration of healing and har-mony.

“Divine mother reiki heal me whole complete and correct’’ is a very power-ful and genuine invocation used for ef-fective healing-sessions. This invocation positively declares and affirms that the

healing is done according to the divine mother reiki will and is therefore unstop-pable and inevitable and the final result is in the accordance with the divine will.

Whole:

Any disease manifests itself in three lay-er of existence physical, etheric, casual. Reiki energy works on physical, etheric and casual levels. Reiki rebalances the energies in each body.

When all the energies in each body are balanced health occurs. When the mind focuses continually on one object or idea, the thought form becomes crystal-lized in the body.

The natural flow of cerebral spinal fluid is arrested in the physical body when there is a blockage in the correspond-ing are of the etheric body. The struck thought or emotion manifests first in the corresponding part of the etheric or elec-tronic body, if not dealt with, eventually causes disease in the corresponding or-gan of the physical body.

The reiki works on the physical, ethe-ric and casual levels. Reiki helps each person to release energy blocks and the connected emotions which in turn helps the release of casual level of disease

Complete:

A human being has a soul, mind and body. The soul is spirit, mind is con-sciousness and body is matter. All sickness is due to blockages of soul, mind and body. Soul blockages are due to bad karma, mind blockages are due to negative thoughts, beliefs and atti-tudes and body blockages include ob-structions in physical and energy chan-nel systems, nervous system, lymph system and.

Much of time the physical illness is caused by the mind being out of syn-chronization with the soul. Insight into the causes of certain illness shows that various parts of body harbour certain types of emotions, and can thus cause corresponding illness.

Reiki works on all levels of existence; it is able to work on the specific level which needs healing, which in fact is connect-

ed with other levels. When our all levels works in harmony real healing will occur.Correct:

The man is the sum total of the body/mind’s experiences in all previous and present incarnations. Some people cre-ate mental/physical diseases for them-selves on subconscious level and they do so to learn some lesson, the past lives experiences will manifest itself as karmic debts in man’s physical, mental and spiritual plane in due time. There is always some good hidden in misfor-tune, no matter how unapparent. If some other person, who is not well versed in higher levels of healing, tries to inter-fere /correct the karmic debts of other person, he may face some dare con-sequences related to the negativity at-tached to that karmic debt.

Reiki is a potent karmic debt dissolv-er device. Reiki has an intelligent and correcting energy of its own, it already knows what you have done in past lives and where your karma needs correction or some karmic lessons should experi-enced by you for your spiritual growth.

Some karmic debts which are causing problems in this life and are not linked with any lesson are completely dissolved in the unconditional love of the reiki.

Reiki as a divine mother treats its baby as a complete entity and heals him at all levels. Mother Reiki removes all the blockages of all levels by her uncondi-tional love, compassion, care and for-giveness.

Sacred Space, Mer-Ka-Ba and the Ancient WaysBy Huda Musa

Page 60: May issue 2014

Have you ever wondered how you can live your purpose? Could our dreams be the roadmap to our goals? We sometimes question how accurate our “gut” instincts are and how we can follow our inspira-tions. We wonder if they are silly dreams or if there is something higher guiding us. Can we humans communicate without the use of words and with the language of the sacred space in our heart?

Ancient texts says, humankind was blessed with a sacred language that all peoples of the earth knew. Afterwards, we were split into hundreds of spoken lan-guages, creating SEPARATION, keeping each of us in our own little world. As time went on, the ability to enter the SACRED SPACE of the HEART and communi-cate with our fellow brothers and sisters was lost- we simply forgot we had this ability. We have always had this space within our heart, and it is still there NOW. This space allows for CONSCIOUS CREATION. It allows us to live a reality of LOVE, wisdom, joy and understand-ing. Every night when we sleep, we enter this sacred space in our heart. Do you RE-MEMBER who you truly are?

The sacred space of the heart, is a time-less dimension of consciousness where all things are possible, in this moment. When a baby is conceived, the human heart begins to beat before the mind is formed. Scientists at the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California, which is connected with Stanford Uni-versity, have discovered that the heart has it’s own brain. That’s right- an actual brain with 40,000 cells. Further, scien-

tists at HeartMath have proved that the human heart generates the largest and most powerful energy field of ANY organ in the body. This electromagnetic field is is about eight to ten feet in diameter, and resembles the form of the TORUS, which is a unique and primal shape in the Uni-verse.

The ancient Melchizedek tradition (as taught in the School of Remembering), helps us to remember who we truly are, for we are much more than this illusion-ary reality. We are to Re-remember the Ascension process and awaken to a high-er state of consciousness. These ways remind us of our innate ability to create and manifest things from our heart effort-lessly, for we are all creator/god within. This allows us to unleash our HUMAN POTENTIAL and inner Human PSYCHIC abilities. Further, we learn how to live life with accordance to the true under-standing of how the Law of the Universe works.

These teachings allow us to remember our intimate connection with the Creator who lives within the sacred space of our heart, and to live this connection here on earth now. The Mer-Ka-Ba or the light body that is around us, is a counterrotat-ing field of light that affects body and spirit simultaneously. It allows us to create our reality and move through various dimen-sions. The Mer-Ka-Ba needs to be con-nected within the body (on Earth) for hu-man potential to reach the levels that are necessary for ascension to higher levels of consciousness. By itself, the Mer-Ka-Ba is incomplete.

It is the heart that contains the original instructions of life and when the heart is again in control of a person’s life, life responds with joy and power. When the Mer-Ka-Ba is directly connected to the sacred space of the heart, one’s life be-comes interconnected to all life every-where and moves into higher conscious-ness naturally.

Ascension into the higher spiritual worlds is not a process that only the saints and holy ones can achieve. It is for all of us who choose this path of the Heart here on earth right now. Ascension can be realized without leaving this world and while being awake to all that is in our reality. The outer world is but a reflec-tion and creation of an inner world that has long been forgotten within our own Hearts. This power is your birthright and your heritage.

“In the fortified city of the imperishable, our body, there is a lotus

and in this lotus a tiny space: What does it contain that one

should desire to know it?

As vast as this space without is the tiny space within your heart: heaven and earth are found in it,

fire and air, sun and moon, lightening and the constellations, whatever belongs to you here and

below and all that doesn’t,

all this is gathered in that tiny space within your heart.”

~Chandogya Upanishad 8.1.2-3
