The Flip Side (Part 2)

A friend called me recently and asked my advice. Her 15 year old niece had come home from church feeling  despondent and fearful. The pastor's sermon had been about the financial upheaval, crime and natural disasters that are constantly in the news. He warned that 12/21/2012 was going to be a  fiery, nightmarish, agonizing end of the world. Being an impressionable teen, the girl was scared out of her wits and could see no hope and thus no reason to live. My friend was in a panic because her favorite niece had been suicidal in the past. I immediately asked about the girl's mother- trying to figure out what resources we could get into place. "She's scared too" "You mean about Michelle?" "No - about the end of the world." 
The year 2012 is past the half-way mark. Some people are stock piling supplies and weapons. On the other end of the wide arc of public opinion, 2012 is just another year and all this "end time' stuff means nothing. Most people land somewhere near the middle.Certainly as the calendar pages turn, tension is rising, even for those who are "pretty sure" that no world ending disaster will take place. 
At the close of my most recent blog I shared the reply of John's angel: man has created this with his mind - but there is always hope. Where might we find evidence of that hope in something that is beyond wishful thinking? Allow me to share with you from Gregg Braden's book The Isaiah Effect:

Clearly, we are entering a new era of understanding the inner sciences

of prayer, prophesy and the agents of change that Isaiah and others

acknowledged in their writings. Deceptively simple, Isaiah's prophecies

remind us of two things. First, through the science of prophesy we may

glimpse future consequences of choices made in the present.

Second, we embody the collective power to choose which future  we

experience. It is through our consideration of others in our daily lives

that we piece together the experiences that bring our futures into focus.

This is the Isaiah Effect - the expression of an ancient science stating that

we may change the outcome of our future through the choices we make 

in each moment in the present. 

So there you have it. The prophesies may seem confusing because they often tend to flip from scenes of disaster to peace and tranquility. Nostradamus, for example foresaw earthquakes and perpetual darkness. But he also saw a peaceful, happier time of spiritual renewal following it. Edgar Cayce, John in Revelation, indigenous writings including those of Native Americans, all seem to suggest two quite different possibilities which include a message of hope. That  hopeful message is revealed in both ancient writings and modern science - both essentially say the same thing. The outcome, the future is up to us and it is based on what we say, think, believe and do. It is beyond the scope of this article to go into detail, but some of my other blog entries will give you more information as to the laws of the universe and how we create, whether we realize it or not. I invite you to explore.

Basically, life is what we make it. Our future is based on what we do now. Cause and effect.  This is true on an individual as well as group level. What we think, say, believe and do speaks to the matter that makes up the Universe. We would be accurate if we described our universe as reflective. What we send out comes back to us eventually.Call it karma if you would like. But it is about more than learning life's lessons. It is about learning how life operates and how powerful we truly are.  Allow me to share an interesting example.  In modern science the placebo effect has been well documented. Some research studies about the power of our mind are so amazing that they are almost unbelievable. One of the most simple yet inspiring is a report of research which involved trying to alleviate morning sickness. 33 pregnant women in the research project were so relieved when their doctors gave them a special syrup being tested to calm their volatile contractions and vomiting. To validate its effectiveness they swallowed a small instrument which gave an internal picture of the reaction of their body.

Sweet relief for all 33 women! And the cameras showed beyond a doubt what they reported: no more discomfort- not a twitch!  However, all 33 of the test subjects had been given a well known syrup to induce vomiting.  Syrup of Ipacac is often given to poison victims.  How did it end up doing just the opposite? The power of the mind and what they believed to be true! 

It is becoming more clear that ancient prophets were trying to deliver the message that our choices, in how we think, feel, act and believe as well as our intentions create our future.We might indeed be living during a time when a lot of fear and negative occurrences and possibilities surround us. However,  we are fortunate to live in a time when realistic answers for help and healing are right at our fingertips. Perhaps science can make believers out of even the most skeptical person. It shows us the proof, as well as lifting the veils of knowledge as to how seemingly miraculous outcomes  can occur. Ancient scriptures were perhaps more poetic and sometimes confusing, but if read with this new awareness, we may all discover that we do have the power to create a new world and new, positive way of life.

Perhaps what might be more accurate of an interpretation is that it is the end of the world  as we know it....we have the individual and group choice and responsibility to create something better, more peaceful, just and loving. It starts with you~

Namaste~ see the Light in everyone...you may be the one to help bring it out!

The Flip Side of the Coin

 2012  End time..... or beginning? 

 When you think about 2012 what comes to your mind? Certainly there are many opinions on this controversial subject. Ancient writings including the Bible refer to this as the "end of time" or "end days" in what is known as apocalyptic prophecies. Destruction is a common theme in the works of Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and various  indigenous cultures .And  let's not forget that the Mayan calendar runs out ---ends, kaput...nothing! Pretty scary stuff. It has some people stockpiling supplies for survival, including weapons.Like I said, pretty scary.

How do you feel when you read or hear about this kind of stuff? It scared the dickens out of me. Holy cats, if the oceans rise due to the melting of the arctic caps, then  according to the maps the area I presently live in will be under water. Deep water. And what about the "pole shift"; what's that all about anyway? Do I need to move, warn people, find a group of stock pilers to take me in?! Make amends? Beg for God's mercy?  Talk about feeling helpless!

My "default mechanism" when faced with a problem is to gather information. And there is plenty out there; the real work is wading thru it. As I explored I found an interesting and hopeful pattern. I would describe my discovery process as being similar to flipping a coin. However ,for the most part the literature seems to describe only one side of the coin- it's always heads...Disaster! But certainly we realize that with any coin you pull out of your pocket  and  flip, you would eventually see "tails" as well as "heads".  And that's what has been missing or at least more difficult to find in all the writings that give us hints of our future .With that two headed coin we have not been getting all of the information. Perhaps we see the stuff that frightens us into helplessness and just stop looking. 

 Like I said, my default mechanism is to explore and once I find the information I am compelled to share it. I don't consider myself an expert, but I  have traveled my way thru many books, articles, videos, CD's, web sites and anything else I could get my hands on. In this blog article and others planned down the road, I plan to share what I found.

In a nutshell ~ there is hope. BUT we have choices to make - life altering choices. We cannot afford to sit by idly. What we think, say, do and believe affects our future in profound ways.  Those who have attended my seminars have a head start on knowing what I am talking about. Everything comes together like a giant puzzle. When we step back from it we can see the pattern. This time it is a pattern which reveals hope as we pull together both the old and the new.


We live in an exciting time when the often mysterious writing of seers of long ago comes together with modern quantum physics.We have come to realize that our individual responses to life's challenges do not impact merely  our personal outcome. Together we create a collective outcome. What YOU do, the choices YOU make have real power. "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. ...We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter" (Gregg Braden).
And one day the eyes of your spirit shall open, and you shall know all things. (The Essene Gospel of Peace)
It is no accident that at this time in history the literature has been flooded with information about the "Divine Matrix" (Intelligent Mind or God, Holy Spirit, Creative Energy) and the Laws of the Universe and in particular the "Law of Attraction". In my opinion the Law of Attraction got a bit glamorized and over-simplified. Think "Lamborghini" and it will come to you. A more educated explanation of the Law of Attraction comes from the ancient texts: You shall reap what you sow. (More on that in another article- we truly DO create.)

Getting back to 2012.  Is the state of the world we live in the playing out of a collective cause and effect? Have we plundered the earth and  disrespected its resources to the point of getting the natural backlash? Are we personally responsible for what is happening?  I say yes and it's a good thing. Before you judge me harshly please read on as I tell you why it is a good thing. What it means is that there truly IS a cause and effect. If you, I or we do "X" then "Y" will always follow. In other words the outcome is predictable. That being said, we are not blind toward nor helpless in regard to our own future.A Universal law states: "Life is the experience of your choices." Our combined choices as a group,(whether a family, circle of friends or co-workers, neighborhood, community, nation or world)  result in increased power, or larger impacts.think about that in a positive way. A woman refusing to sit at the back of a bus, joined by others who felt the same created astounding change.


The ancient scriptures are absolutely loaded with hope. If you look closely you will see that. The word apocalypse for example has its root in the Greek word apoklypsis which means simply and nicely "to disclose or reveal." The ancient prophets were trying to show us possible outcomes which were based on the conditions of their time.
When John in Revelation asks his angel guide why these things are happening in his vision of a possible future here is what the angel replied:
Man  has created these powers of destruction. He has wrought them from his OWN MIND. He has turned his face away  from the Angels of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother, and he has fashioned his own destruction.
John asks if there is hope ~ here is the reply: There is always hope, O thou for whom heaven and earth were created. (The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book Two)

 More to come...there is hope!
Namaste my friends
