			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>These include feeling like the world is spinning (which it is of course, but in this case, the world spins or tilts at<br />unusual angles).</p></blockquote></div><p>Two weeks ago, We went to Cornwall (Mount of St. Michael, Tintagel, Lizard Point,etc), and at Mount St.Michael, we couldn&#039;t go up to the top, because we had Doggie me with us, so we meditated at the bottom. Mrs me went dizzzy, she said we was spinning in a vortex, she was real emotional, afeared, and when she came out of it, she said St. Michaels mount was glowing red ( I couldn&#039;t see that). She saw us going through a castle and seeing a blue &#039;stargate/portal&#039; open, and we went through it (again into the spinning vortex).&nbsp; We went to Tintagel next day, but couldn&#039;t see/feel this energy there. I always feel Mrs me is the part of us that picks up on the psychic stuff.<br />Since then, Mrs me has been waking up in the middle of the night, with the whole room spinning round, last night she was sore afraid, and thought she was having heart attack, we took her to the doctors and she has diagnosed &#039;gall stones&#039; (classic symptoms, apparently).</p><p>I haven&#039;t been getting these spinning feelings (and strangely,that worries me, am I &#039;out of it?&#039;), but then I have been practising this Holon energy balancing /gratitude for quite a few weeks now. Albeit, I have started to come under psychic attack again recently, after a long quiet spell, from doing the &#039;Power of Now&#039; exercises. I think I will try to persuade Mrs me to give the Holon balancing a go tonight (if she is feeling better).</p>]]></description>

The more subtle aspects of this prison structure/control matrix are now in the process of being cleared. It is now possible for the highest levels of spiritual energy to reach humanity and Earth.</p><p>Before this event, such direct access to such higher levels of consciousness was extremely limited and short-lived. Last year through early portion of this year, these very high levels of Original Source have been probing and testing, trying to find the least risky way to reach us and effect the desired and needed changes.</p><p>Now it is possible for this to occur - and in a BIG way.</p><p>The energetic &quot;skies&quot; are now to a large part cleared and open.&nbsp; The possibility of global awakening has never been greater.</p><p>Now the big task is the clearing of the worst that has been literally imbedded into the matter and energetic framework of humanity and Earth. Many dark entities who have been &quot;calling the shots&quot; from their Earth platform have been removed. The primary bulwark that has made up the control matrix is gone.</p><p>More of the &quot;bad guys&quot; and control matrix backup plans/codes/etc. will continue to be removed. Permanently.</p><p>This is still a dangerous time for people since there are very terrible plans in the works by those individuals who have in service to the dark force to make their power plays and grab all they can of the Earth and deny to the forces of Light whatever they cannot control.</p><p>Those who are conscious Lightworkers need to be aware of these dynamics and the likely events unfolding so as to best keep their wits -- and to be better able to help others through this most challenging time.</p><p>PLAN B:</p><p>I wrote sometime ago about &quot;Plan A and B and C&quot;. Some aspects of Plan B will be needed to prevent the worst from occurring by these terrible individuals. I am referring to certain solar, atmospheric, oceanic, and tectonic events that will cause some physical misery for some, but will have the effect of sparing so many more the horrors of global conflicts and planned (man-made) harsh living conditions. Remember, the goal is global awakening/ascension.</p><p>777 (July 7)</p><p>Much has been said about 7-7-7 - The weekend of July 6-7-8 will indeed be a very powerful opportunity to &quot;land&quot; more of our higher planes of existence and make qualitative shifts. The more individuals who can do this, the more they in turn will be able to help many more.</p><p>There are also some attempts at counter efforts by residuals of the dark force that are timed to counter this powerful shift. These attempts will be to try to reinforce part of the old control matrix energy pattern. Hence, the best discernment is needed here.</p><p>I for one will be giving my attention to the 7-7-7 period and the development and strengthening of the New Earth higher dimensional grids and matrix - and welcoming in the new. Then we shall what is unfolding and what is next.</p><p>Alex</p></blockquote></div><p>[center]<strong><span style="color: red">[size=16]Mists[/size]</span></strong>[/center] [center]<strong><span style="color: orange">[size=16]Of[/size]</span></strong>[/center] [center]<strong><span style="color: yellow">[size=16]Fire[/size]</span></strong>[/center]</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>From:</p><p>[Lights_of_RA] Digest Number 349</p><p><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lights_of_RA/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lights_of_RA/</a></p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Posted by: ‘Janis’&nbsp; <br />Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:26 am (PST)</p><p>From: ‘Tom and Judi’ To: Janis <br />Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:10:18 +1000<br />Subject: Hathors, April 18, 2007</p><p>From Tom Kenyon</p><p>The following message was given by the Hathors on April 15, 2007.<br />The ‘extreme wave activity’ they speak about began on April 12,<br />2007. </p><p>The information relative to the Holon<br />of Balance, and the message about Ecstasy and the Heart.</p><p>If you prefer, you may also read the information online:<br /><a href="http://tomkenyon.com/hathors.php">http://tomkenyon.com/hathors.php</a></p><p>Wishing you the best,<br />Tom Kenyon and Judi Sion<br />May all beings be happy. May all beings be free.</p><p>The Planetary Creatrix</p><p>From the Hathors through Tom Kenyon, April 15, 2007</p><p>You are on the brink of an escalation of intergalactic energies<br />coming to you from deep space. As we have indicated in previous<br />communications, this wave activity, related to the expansion of<br />consciousness, is on the rise. Specifically, the expansion of<br />consciousness has to do with a greater awareness of the subtleties<br />and complexities of your life as terrestrial beings, but also as<br />intergalactic and interdimensional beings.</p><p>One of the effects of these waveforms of energy from deep space is<br />an increase in volatility, emotional volatility. As these waveforms<br />increase in both number and intensity, they will increase<br />irritability, sleep disturbances, irrational thoughts and<br />behaviors. These will most likely be acted out between<br />individuals, but also collectively.</p><p>These waveforms of energy from deep space are both a negative and<br />a positive. They are negative from the standpoint of your status<br />quo, of your habitual ways of being and operating, for these<br />waveforms will break these structures down at the most minute<br />subatomic and quantum levels. And they will create changes in your<br />physicality and psyches. These challenges to your psyches are a<br />result of your holding on to old ways of perceiving and being. The<br />collective effect of this can be quite devastating to the old ways<br />of living in this world.</p><p>The positive of these waveforms of energy from deep space is that<br />they create an opportunity, a choice point in each moment as the<br />waves pass through your solar system. The choice points occur as<br />the waveforms strike the very energetic structures of your body,<br />your mind, and your interpersonal relationships. The choice points<br />are a collapsing of your old habitual patterns and an opportunity<br />to rapidly and radically move in new directions.</p><p>In very real ways these waveforms of energy from deep space are<br />like messengers that unlock and throw open the doors of your<br />personal prisons. For a moment there is the opportunity for<br />escape, escape from your own self-made prisons, whether they are<br />personal, interpersonal, collective or global. The challenge, when<br />the prison door is thrown open, is to recognize the opportunity<br />for freedom. When the old ways of being collapse, when the charades<br />that you have been living are revealed to you, don&#039;t shrink from<br />the experience. The old ways of hiding will not work, for a new<br />energy is being released into the cosmos.</p><p>Your freedom lies in abandoning old ways that do not serve you.<br />Again, this is true at the very subatomic structures of your<br />being, through your ‘psychologies,’ and through your relationships.<br />As the waveforms become stronger, which they will, and as the period<br />between the waves becomes shorter, it will feel like the pressure<br />waves of consciousness are relentless, and in the face of such a<br />pounding, it can feel like insanity or madness. Feelings of<br />desperation will be on the increase.</p><p>But we wish you to clearly understand that your desperation is<br />self-created and self-generated, as it is a resistance to the<br />pressure waves of evolution, specifically spiritual evolution. If<br />you seize the opportunities, the choice points, when your prison<br />doors fling open, you will find a new freedom, a new way of living<br />with yourself and with the world.</p><p>Those of you who are most sensitive to energy will feel this first.<br />Those who are mired in the material experience of life and in<br />their animal nature will seemingly, at first, be less affected.<br />But as the pressure waves increase, so will their sense of<br />desperation. And nothing feeds desperation quite as clearly as<br />perceived threats to one&#039;s survival.</p><p>In previous communications we gave directions for how to use the<br />Holon of Balance. We strongly suggest you master the ability to<br />create them at will. Your experience of life, in so many ways, is<br />changing at an unprecedented pace. How you move through the narrow gate of chaos is determined not by the outer events of your life,<br />but by how well your internal compass operates, your inner<br />intuitive sense of direction.</p><br /><p>In previous communications we have given suggestions for how to<br />create ecstasy or bliss. Our reason for imparting this information<br />is that ecstasy and bliss are vibrational fields that allow you to<br />escape the lower vibrational field perpetuated on your planet.<br />Residing in ecstasy and bliss, or at the very least, joy or<br />happiness, independent of external factors, allows you to slip<br />through the doors of your own prison.</p><p>From our perspective, which is from other dimensions beyond your<br />third dimension, your Earth is engaged in an acute struggle<br />between the forces that would imprison you and those that would<br />liberate you.</p><p>We say this to you with greatest clarity, you are in the midst of a<br />battle for your very souls, your very spiritual essence. For this<br />is the greatest treasure that exists upon your Earth, not the gold<br />or silver or diamonds, but the very ephemeral spiritual spark that<br />each of you possess. Whether you are aware of your spiritual spark<br />or not is immaterial; it is still of immense value. The forces<br />that have imprisoned this planet for thousands of years are<br />threatened by these waves of energy from deep space. They can be<br />expected to do everything in their power to continue their<br />domination of the human spirit. And yet, in the great dance of the<br />cosmos, there are others who wish to free you, for in your freedom<br />a great renaissance of consciousness can take place that will be a<br />great benefit to the entire universe; and so it is that many<br />beings from many realms, who hold human life as sacred, are here to<br />assist you. We are just some of them.</p><p>Because you are at the brink of this massive increase of<br />evolutionary pressure, this moment is a critical opportunity to<br />increase the strength of light, spiritual light, upon this Earth.<br />And so it is that we present to you our plan for the immediate<br />future, and if you feel called and aligned with our vision, we<br />invite you to join us.</p><p>We call this the Planetary Creatrix. It is based upon an<br />interdimensional physics by which we can, with your assistance,<br />send highly coherent and benevolent forms of energy into the<br />energetic matrix of your planet. This work is made possible by<br />something that occurred this last Easter when Magdalen called the<br />seven great Archangels, and they, through this invitation and the<br />co-creation of many people across the globe, descended from the<br />realms of light into matter imparting their highly elevated<br />vibratory fields of energy into those who participated and into<br />the Earth itself. Within the Earth they planted innumerable seeds<br />of light. They are scattered throughout the world. Some of them<br />are time-coded and will increase their amplification of spiritual<br />light over time. Some of them will be activated when specific<br />waveforms of energy from deep space pass through your world. They<br />are designed, intended to create choice points, opportunities for<br />increased illumination and spiritual awareness. They are a direct<br />counterpoint to the forces that would control, manipulate and<br />imprison all life.</p><p>For three days, beginning July 6 through July 8, 2007, we are<br />calling a gathering in Seattle, Washington we call The Creatrix.<br />At this event we will impart fundamental understandings and<br />techniques involving interdimenional physics and the ability to<br />manifest into the third dimensional world. On Sunday, July 8, from<br />2-4 pm Pacific Standard Time, using the techniques we have<br />imparted, all who are gathered will activate the Planetary<br />Creatrix. We shall be assisted in this by the two earth healing<br />sites we have established and by those individuals throughout the<br />world who feel aligned with our vision. During this time, Sunday,<br />July 8, 2-4PM, Pacific Standard Time, we shall activate many of<br />the light seeds that were planted by the Archangels this<br />last Easter.</p><p>Preparation</p><p>For those who wish to participate with us in the Planetary<br />Creatrix, but are unable to attend the event physically, some<br />preparation is needed. Essentially, what will occur during this<br />time period of Sunday, July 8, 2-4 PM, is that you will use the<br />central column of your subtle energy body to serve as a conduit<br />for higher dimensional light and energies to pass through you and<br />into the area of the Earth where you are located. This will<br />provide the entry point into the planetary matrix, for you are<br />standing wave patterns of Earth energies; and because your body is<br />of the Earth elements, you possess, by your nature, the right and<br />the inherent ability to impart energies to the Earth.</p><p>The more individuals who participate in this, the stronger the<br />imparting of these highly beneficial energies will be. During this<br />time period we ask that you set aside outer activities and for<br />this two-hour stretch of time, focus upon the central axis, the<br />central column of your subtle body and allow the higher<br />dimensional energies to enter through your crown and proceed<br />through your body into the earth. It is important, during this<br />two-hour period, that you create an alignment of your own energies<br />with the higher dimensional energies. This is done most<br />efficiently by placing yourself in the Holon of Balance and by<br />generating feelings of bliss and ecstasy using the methods we have<br />given previously. For your ease, we will place the information on<br />how to create the Holon of Balance and how to create ecstasy<br />through the heart at the end of this communication.</p><p>If you feel called to participate with us from wherever you live<br />upon this Earth, we ask that you begin to train yourself in<br />mastering the Holon of Balance and ecstatic states, so that during<br />this two-hour period in July, you shall reside in a state of<br />balance and joy or bliss as much as your current evolutionary<br />state allows you. For those of you who feel called to join us in<br />the Planetary Creatrix, we bow to you. We bow to the many<br />spiritual lineages that you represent and to the many<br />intergalactic beings that you are, and we challenge you to step up<br />to the higher vision of planetary service that this requires.</p><p>Practice and master the Holon of Balance. Master the ability to<br />create gratitude, joy and bliss instantaneously, without the need<br />for any outer condition. With these two dynamic fields of energy,<br />balance through the Holon and ecstasy through the path of<br />gratitude, you will be able to assist the imparting of these higher<br />dimensional energies to your Earth for the benefit of humanity,<br />and you will have a most interesting and compelling experience<br />during these two hours.</p><p>This is a great experiment, a bold action involving the<br />coordination of many realms of being. Nine days prior to the<br />Creatrix, on June 29, 2007, we will give further and more detailed<br />instructions for how to operate during this two-hour period of the<br />actual Planetary Creatrix.</p><p>The Hathors April 15, 2007</p><p>Thoughts From Tom on this Planetary Message</p><p>I thought I would share some information with you that is not in<br />this Hathor message, but which they (my group of Hathor guides)<br />gave Judi and me upon further questioning.</p><p>For one, as they say in the Message, the consciousness-inducing-<br />waves coming to us from deep space are now increasing in both<br />frequency and strength (amplitude). The current wave that prompted<br />them to give this message began to arrive in our solar system late<br />in the evening of April 12th. This wave will last for<br />approximately nine days (until April 21st). They told us to watch<br />the news during this period, as there would be increases in<br />irrational behavior, destructiveness and anomalies in our weather,<br />and indeed there have been. Shortly afterward, a new series of<br />waves will pass through our solar system and our Earth. According<br />to them, each successive wave (with a few exceptions) will be<br />stronger than the previous ones. In other words, we are not off<br />the hook on April 21st. There will be wave after wave of<br />consciousness-stimulating-energy that will pass through our world<br />for years to come, that&#039;s years to come, not months.</p><p>There are many ways to look at the effects of these messengers<br />from deep space. On one hand, they are evolutionary catalysts that<br />can free up immense personal and collective energy. The Hathors<br />use the metaphor of opening the doors to our personal prisons,<br />prisons being defined as our ways of living in relationship with<br />our selves, with each other and with the Earth. If we are going to<br />survive as a species, we must change how we are living. Period.<br />End of sentence.</p><p>This is a great potential being unleashed, but it is also<br />extremely disorienting. Perhaps you have experienced some of these<br />side effects for yourself, sleep disturbances, an increase of<br />irrational thoughts, unusual feelings of despair and/or<br />desperation, extreme sudden and unexplainable fatigue, as well as<br />emotional volatility. Important Side Bar: Some of these symptoms<br />can also be indicative of clinical depression, which might need<br />professional help. If these states of mind and body are not a<br />constant, seem to come and go quickly, then they are probably not<br />related to clinical depression, but may be due to the energetic<br />effects the Hathors are talking about. If, however, these symptoms<br />seem to have settled in, so to speak, do not come and go quickly,<br />you might indeed be suffering from clinical depression, in which<br />case you would do well to consult a mental health practitioner.</p><p>The Hathors don&#039;t mention it specifically in this message but<br />there are also feelings of physical disorientation occurring for<br />many. These include feeling like the world is spinning (which it<br />is of course, but in this case, the world spins or tilts at<br />unusual angles). In addition, one&#039;s usual sense of dimensionality<br />(our perception of physical space and interdimensional space)<br />seems to be changing or morphing somehow. If you don&#039;t know what I<br />mean by this, don&#039;t give it a second thought.</p><p>While it is probably good to know about these waves from deep<br />space and their challenging effects, that is not the main reason<br />for this message from the Hathors.</p><p>They are putting out a Clarion Call to the world spiritual<br />community. They are calling together in spirit, thousands, perhaps<br />tens of thousands, around the world to join together in what they<br />(the Hathors) are calling the Planetary Creatrix.</p><p>For those who join us in Seattle, Washington for the actual<br />gathering (July 6-8, 2007), the Hathors will prepare us for two<br />and a half-days with specific sound meditations and instruction in<br />the use of multi-dimensional awareness as a key to manifestation.<br />This knowledge of how to manifest will, I believe, be of immense<br />value to all of us, but on Sunday, the focus shifts from the<br />personal to planetary service during the actual times of the<br />Planetary Creatrix, which will occur on Sunday, July 8th from<br />2-4PM Pacific Standard Time.</p><p>My Thoughts On Preparation</p><p>For those who cannot attend the event in Seattle, the Hathors ask<br />that you train yourself so that you can create the Holon of<br />Balance at will (see instructions below). They also ask that you<br />begin to train yourself in creating states of bliss or ecstasy. If<br />you are unable to generate feelings of bliss or ecstasy at will,<br />then the Hathors have given a method for creating ecstasy through<br />gratitude and focusing at the heart (see instructions below). This<br />union of gratitude and focused awareness on the physical heart<br />creates a shift in awareness that eventually leads to ecstasy (if<br />you stay with it along enough).</p><p>Now here&#039;s the rub. For some people, due to unresolved emotional<br />conflicts held in the heart, focusing on the heart with gratitude<br />will often first bring feelings of sadness, anger, etc., to the<br />surface of awareness. If this occurs, I suggest continuing to work<br />with the method until the feelings are resolved or transformed.<br />Repetition is a key to mastery. Eventually, this method will bring<br />you to ecstasy, but you may have to work through some unpleasant<br />personal material first. This situation reminds me of the story<br />about a boy who was given a donkey for Xmas. He entered the barn<br />where the donkey was, but all he could see was a big pile of<br />manure. He said, ‘I can&#039;t see it, but I know there&#039;s a donkey<br />around here somewhere.’ So in other words, if you get a bunch of<br />shit coming up for you when you focus at your heart, know that<br />ecstasy or bliss is around there somewhere.</p><p>You have two options, depending upon where you are in your<br />training when the actual Planetary Creatrix arrives. If you have<br />discovered the pathway to bliss or ecstasy, then you would be<br />resting in these highly pleasurable states of body and mind for<br />the two-hour period. Most likely, if you are like me, you would<br />create it for a few minutes and then your mind would wander off,<br />and you would be out of it. Then you would just recreate it and do<br />so as often as required during the two hours.</p><p>If you have not discovered how to create ecstasy or bliss at will,<br />that is not a problem, so long as you have, at the very least,<br />learned how to create gratitude. Then during the Planetary<br />Creatrix, you would hold these feelings of appreciation or<br />gratitude as much as possible during the two hours.<br />Essentially what you will be doing during the Planetary Creatrix<br />is to allow higher spiritual energies to ground into the Earth<br />through a central energy channel that runs through your body, from<br />the crown at the top of your head down into the Earth. In other<br />words, you act like a tuning fork, anchoring these highly<br />beneficial energies into the region of the Earth where you live.<br />(As the Hathors mentioned, we will be assisted in this process<br />through the two Hathor sound temples, one in New Mexico and one in<br />Costa Rica). In order for this to work, you have to be in a<br />balanced and coherent state of energy. The Holon of Balance<br />imparts a sense of balance, and coherency is created by feelings<br />of ecstasy created through gratitude. If, when the time comes, you<br />can&#039;t create ecstasy through gratitude, then you can go into<br />gratitude. If you are unable to generate feelings of appreciation<br />and gratitude at will (see the instructions), then all that will<br />happen is that the descent of spiritual energy will not be able to<br />anchor into the Earth through you. Good intentions are not enough<br />here. A basic level of mastery is required for those who desire to<br />participate with us in spirit. And so, if you feel called to join<br />us, I ask you to begin practicing the methods below. I certainly am.</p><p>This invitation is being extended by the Hathors to all persons<br />who share a common vision as to the sacredness of life, regardless<br />of personal belief, religion, philosophy or life-style. If you<br />feel the truth of this undertaking, and feel called to participate,<br />we invite you to join us. As they said in their message, final<br />instructions for participation during the Planetary Creatrix will<br />be given at this website on June 29th.</p><p>The Holon of Balance</p><p>From the Hathor Message of February 3, 2007</p><p>We suggest you experiment with this; play with this, and master<br />this very simple geometry. Carry it with you in your conscious<br />awareness at all times so that you may create it at will, as<br />needed, both for yourself and those you are connected to.</p><p>It is called a Holon, and the specific one we refer to is the<br />Octahedron, or the Holon of Balance. Imagine yourself surrounded<br />by a pyramid of light that extends above you and a matching<br />pyramid below you. These are square-based pyramids, one pointing<br />up, and one pointing down. You are in the center of this. If you<br />are lying down, you are on the square, where the two halves of<br />pyramids touch, and the pyramid above you matches the pyramid<br />below you. You make this as large or as small as you wish, so long<br />as you are completely enclosed within it.</p><p>If you are standing or sitting, the axis of the octahedron<br />extends through the center of your body, so that if you were to<br />draw a line through the apex of the pyramid through the center<br />down to the apex of the opposite pyramid, this line would pass<br />through the center of your body. This octahedron balances energy.<br />It is the balancing of the male and female aspect of consciousness.<br />Do not let its simplicity fool you. It is a powerful tool for<br />balancing subtle energies.</p><p>The Hathors</p><p>Some Observations from Tom</p><p>The octahedron is one of five three-dimensional geometric shapes<br />known collectively as the Platonic Solids. The octahedron has a<br />total of eight sides, thus the root octa, meaning eight. The top<br />pyramid has four sides and the bottom pyramid has four sides, and<br />the bases of both pyramids meet to form a square. The Platonic<br />Solids can be found occurring naturally in nature, especially in<br />the form of crystalline structures, as well as atomic and<br />molecular configurations. Esoterically speaking, each of the<br />Platonic Solids has specific energetic effects. Some people have<br />emailed us and asked if the octahedron is the same as the star<br />tetrahedron, and no, it is not. The star tetrahedron consists of<br />two triangular based pyramids, and they are not joined at the base.<br />They merge into each other. The star tetrahedron also has<br />different energetic effects from the octahedron.</p><p>When I first received information about the Holon of Balance from<br />the Hathors, I thought it was pretty simplistic. But sometimes the<br />simple things are the best. There is no doubt in my mind that this<br />Holon imparts a feeling of balance and protection when it is engaged.</p><p>Further Elucidation on the Holon of Balance</p><p>We have received several emails asking us to clarify the Holon of<br />Balance. First of all, this information is for those who have said<br />they need a more basic understanding of this particular Holon (the<br />octahedron). It is not intended for the advanced student of sacred<br />geometry. I have purposefully kept this simple. And the reasons<br />are two-fold. For one, you do not need to have a complex<br />understanding of the Holon of Balance in order to use it. And two,<br />many people are turned off by complex geometries. Since this Holon<br />is highly effective and simple to use, I have chosen not to<br />complicate matters. In other words, I choose not to go into detail<br />about the subtleties between the various Platonic solids or the<br />intricacies of working with them esoterically.</p><p>An octahedron is basically two square-based pyramids joined at the<br />base. The Holon of Balance is created by forming an octahedron of<br />light around you through the power of your imagination.</p><p>It doesn&#039;t matter what color you make it. The color may change<br />spontaneously, depending upon your state of mind. Personally, I<br />make mine clear white light, but that is a personal preference,<br />not dogma. In fact there is very little dogma around this, thank<br />God, thank Goddess.</p><p>The main thing is to make sure that you are completely enclosed in<br />the space of the octahedron. If, for instance, you are lying down,<br />the base of both pyramids (where they meet at the middle of the<br />octahedron) will most likely be right underneath you. But you<br />could put yourself anywhere inside the geometry. You could hover<br />up at the top, or sink down to the bottom, or slide over into a<br />corner. It doesn&#039;t matter. And you don&#039;t have to orient yourself<br />to any direction in particular, like north, south, east, west, etc.<br />There are also no prayers, incantations or special breaths<br />required. The whole affair is quite simple. And this may be one of<br />its many saving graces, besides the fact that it works.</p><p>If you are standing or sitting, the axis of the octahedron (i.e.<br />the imaginary line that runs through the top of both pyramids to<br />meet at the center), would, most likely, pass through the central<br />axis of your body (running through the crown at the top of the<br />head, through the perineum). But you could imagine yourself up<br />near the apex of the top pyramid or down at the apex of the lower<br />pyramid. In other words, the central plane of the octahedron, the<br />place where the two pyramids meet to form a square, could be<br />aligned anywhere on your body. Perhaps you will have it aligned<br />with your heart, or maybe your head, or perhaps your feet. It does<br />not matter, at least as far as its balancing effects are concerned.<br />In actual fact, some alignments of the center square with your<br />body (i.e. where the square passes through you) may affect you<br />stronger than others. So I say, experiment! Find out what works<br />best for you. Although I am being redundant, let me say it again.<br />It doesn&#039;t matter where you put yourself in the octahedron, where<br />you orient it, or what color you make it. The main thing is to<br />make sure you are completely inside it.</p><p>One final point about the geometry, since some people have emailed<br />us with this question, is the octahedron the same as the star<br />tetrahedron? No it is not. They are distinctly different<br />geometries. Since I am purposefully not going into the details of<br />the differences, if you are interested in further information I<br />suggest using your Internet search engine to explore the<br />fascinating worlds of geometry and its complement, sacred geometry.<br />There&#039;s a whole world of information out there just waiting to be<br />discovered. And it&#039;s all at your fingertips with just a click of<br />your mouse!</p><p>In the message of Jan. 18, 2007, the Hathors gave some information<br />about sending the Holon of Balance to places or persons in<br />distress, in order to impart a balancing energy. In this instance,<br />creating the Holon of Balance (octahedron) is very similar except<br />for the fact that you are obviously not inside the Holon, the<br />person, persons or area of the world you are sending the Holon to,<br />is inside the Holon. In other words, if I send a Holon of Balance<br />to an area of the Earth, I imagine this area inside the Holon.</p><p>You can send these Holons of Balance anywhere on the Earth you<br />wish, or anywhere in the universe for that matter (if your belief<br />system takes you there). Sending Holons of Balance is a kind of<br />benevolent act, but there is a caveat, don&#039;t mess with other<br />people&#039;s reality. In other words, everyone has a right to his or<br />her own suffering. Just because you or I would like someone to be<br />in a more resourceful state, doesn&#039;t mean that they want to be. We<br />all have a right to be sad, angry, confused or whatever, for as<br />long as we want. Sometimes it gets a bit fuzzy. Maybe we have a<br />friend or a family member in distress, and we want to make things<br />better. But to project our intentions on others when it is not<br />what they desire, is, I think, a misuse of subtle energy. And so<br />my suggestion is to send the Holon of Balance not as an imperative<br />or an imposition, but as an invitation, a breath of fresh air so<br />to speak. If we send a Holon as an energetic offering of balance<br />to those who choose to accept it, without attachment that they do<br />anything, then we are, I think, sending Holons into the world in<br />the right manner.</p><p>My suggestion is to make learning how to create the Holon of<br />Balance a game. Play with it. Spin it maybe. Make it different<br />colors. Find where it feels best to you to place yourself inside<br />the geometry. Practice it at odd times in the day. Create the<br />Holon of Balance in all types of places. No one will know what you<br />are doing. Do it when you are shopping, taking out the trash,<br />feeding your pet, taking a walk, or during those damned<br />commercials when you&#039;re watching TV. The list of where and when<br />you can take a Holon break is virtually endless. The thing is to<br />practice it enough so that when you feel off-centered, emotionally<br />or energetically off-keel, you can, without thought, create the<br />Holon of Balance. Then it becomes a great ally. It will be one of<br />your best friends, and unlike a dog, you don&#039;t have to feed it, or<br />take it for a walk, and it won&#039;t chew up your newspaper.</p><p>Ecstasy and the Heart<br />Hathor Channeling 4/18/05</p><p>We wish to speak with you in this section concerning the<br />generation of ecstasy through focusing on the heart. We do not<br />speak of the heart chakra in this instance, but rather we refer to<br />the physical heart, the heart muscle itself.</p><p>This technique involves your focus, or attention, joined with the<br />emotion of gratitude, or appreciation, which ever you prefer to use.</p><p>As soon as you focus your attention on the heart, you may notice a<br />flow of subtle energy.</p><p>From our perspective, your focus of attention operates much like<br />the central point of an energy vortex. This is especially true<br />within your physical body and the field surrounding your body, your<br />energy field, what the ancients called the aura.</p><p>Your ability to create a focus of attention is not just a cerebral,<br />or brain, activity. It is an activity on many levels of<br />consciousness. Wherever you place you attention within your body,<br />or within the energy field of your body, there is an immediate<br />flow of subtle energy to that point, or area, which has an<br />enlivening effect upon the cells of your body, and/or the luminous<br />light fibers that comprise your energy body.</p><p>Your focus, indeed, creates a warping effect at the subatomic<br />levels, what you might call quantum field effects. These field-<br />effects create distinct flows of energy, geometry and harmonics<br />within you.</p><p>To alter the quantum field through the power of your focus is an<br />important ability we urge you to master. Its applications are<br />numerous, the cultivation of ecstasy being just one of them.</p><p>In this method, you use this ability to hold focus or attention,<br />joined with the emotion of appreciation or gratitude. These two<br />emotions have a coherent effect upon your energy field and upon<br />the rhythmic magnetic emanations of your physical heart. This<br />combination of focus and coherent emotion can be used to generate<br />high states of ecstasy.</p><p>As we have said previously, the generation of ecstatic states of<br />consciousness is an important evolutionary catalyst. We strongly<br />suggest that you learn to create states of ecstasy throughout<br />your day.</p><p>We realize that, for many of you, your daily life may not be<br />conducive to the cultivation of such states, but we urge you to<br />find times throughout your day where you can practice attaining<br />these states for at least a few minutes at a time. A little bit of<br />time spent in ecstasy is better than no time at all.</p><p>This practice will set up a harmonic or a relationship with the<br />Earth, as a conscious living being, and with the harmonic waves of<br />catalytic evolution that are flowing through your galaxy.</p><p>In this technique you focus your attention on the physical heart.<br />As you focus your attention on this area, you generate the feeling<br />of appreciation or gratitude. It is not the thought of<br />appreciation or gratitude, but rather the emotion. In this method,<br />thought will not activate the subtle energies needed to generate<br />ecstasy, only feeling is capable of activating the energy vortices<br />within you.</p><p>As you focus on the physical heart and generate the feeling of<br />appreciation, or gratitude, a waveform of energy begins to flow<br />throughout the body, carried by the magnetic fields of the heart,<br />which emanate outward from the physical heart to encompass your<br />entire body. As the flow of energy begins throughout the body,<br />there is a spontaneous arising of ecstasy, cellular ecstasy.</p><p>Experiment with this technique. Sense what happens in your body as<br />you focus upon your heart and generate these feelings of<br />appreciation and gratitude. Physically feel what seems to be<br />happening at the cellular level as the one trillion (or so) cells<br />of your body receive this coherent energy of gratitude<br />or appreciation.</p><p>Once you have established the ability to create ecstasy as<br />described above, and once you are able to generate ecstasy<br />whenever you desire it, at will, begin to experiment with your<br />energy field, what some call the subtle energy body.</p><p>In working with this method your attention is, again, on the<br />heart, generating feelings of appreciation and gratitude. And as<br />you sense ecstasy beginning to arise in your body, you shift your<br />attention to the field around your body. This field of energy<br />looks very much like a luminous egg when viewed clairvoyantly. The<br />wide part of this luminous egg shape is up around the shoulders<br />and the more narrow part is around the feet. There is a central<br />line or axis that runs through the center of this field, and it<br />happens to also run through the center of your physical body,<br />through the top of the head and down through the perineum. This<br />line is the central axis of the magnetic field that comprises the<br />subtle energy body. This body, or field, extends above the head<br />and below the feet a few inches, to a several feet, or even yards.<br />In certain highly charged energy states, the axis and subtle<br />energy body can expand much farther than that.</p><p>By shifting your attention to this central axis and to the field<br />surrounding your body, you allow the ecstasy to move out from the<br />physical body into the field. This is very positive and creates<br />powerful harmonic patterns that bring you into resonance with the<br />waveforms of accelerated evolution that are flowing through<br />your galaxy.</p><p>Do not underestimate the power of this technique. Though it is<br />very simple, it is profound and effective. It will bring you into<br />a higher state of resonance and vibration. And this is, from our<br />perspective, crucial in order to pass through the energetic<br />portals and transformational energies that your Earth is now<br />experiencing and will continue to experience.</p><p>There are things we would like to say to you about your nature and<br />your destiny, but they would, most likely, not be understood by<br />you unless you are, at the very least, in a state of ecstasy.</p><p>This is because the reference point for consciousness is<br />established not only by belief, but also by one&#039;s emotional<br />harmonics. And without you being in a state of ecstasy, it would<br />be like trying to describe a sunrise to a blind person who does<br />not have the ability to directly perceive what you are talking<br />about. To such a person it would be a make-believe world you are<br />describing. But if suddenly this person could see, he or she could<br />sense the sun directly and verify that your description of the<br />world was accurate. And what was once deemed to be in the realm of<br />myth will now be seen as real.</p><p>And so we leave you in this moment with what may seem like a myth,<br />but which we hold as self-evident. You are creator beings in the<br />midst of creating your future and the future of generations yet to<br />come. You hold within your heart a key to the Mystery of Mysteries.<br />And the threshold, the opening into this mystery is through your<br />capacity to enter ecstasy. Be bold and find your path, your way of<br />living upward into this elevated state of being. Do know, however,<br />the ecstasy is not the end of the way. It is simply the beginning.</p><p>Try the method we have laid out for you here. Experiment with the<br />methods we have given earlier and that we will give in the near<br />future. Enter ecstasy whenever you can. Know that when do so, you<br />enter into communion with all the elevated beings and masters who<br />have served and who are serving humanity. Know that when you do<br />so, you enter into communion with your Self.</p><p>In joy and laughter, The Hathors</p><p>A Few Thoughts From Tom For Those Learning To Create Gratitude</p><p>Some people can immediately go to the feeling of appreciation or<br />gratitude, just by recalling these feelings. However, some<br />individuals are unable to experience these feelings without an<br />outward ‘reason.’ Nevertheless, almost anyone can self-generate<br />these feelings, at will, with a little training. If you know how<br />to re-create the feelings of appreciation and/or gratitude,<br />experiment with creating them at various times throughout the day<br />so that you can use the method the Hathors have given for<br />producing ecstasy.</p><p>If you don&#039;t know how to create the feeling of appreciation or<br />gratitude at will, here are a few pointers. First of all,<br />gratitude is just a stronger feeling of appreciation. We are also<br />looking for the feeling here, not the thought about appreciation<br />or gratitude. Thinking about it will not create the required<br />energetics, only emotion will. Some people prefer one term over<br />the other due to their personal history. Go with the one that<br />feels more comfortable to you.</p><p>The first method of creating appreciation/gratitude involves your<br />memory. Recall something, someone, or a situation from your past<br />that made you feel appreciative. It doesn&#039;t have to be something<br />big. Anything that made you feel appreciative will work. As you<br />recall the memory in detail, the feeling of appreciation or<br />gratitude will arise. Then let the memory drop away and you will<br />be left with the feeling. Focus on the emotion and sense how it<br />feels to you. Repeat the process many different times so that you<br />get the hang of it. Eventually, you will be able to recall the<br />feeling of appreciation/gratitude without having to resort to a<br />memory.<br />For a few individuals, there is nothing in their past that they<br />feel appreciation or gratitude for. Believe it or not, this is not<br />a problem. Simply create a fantasy of something that makes you<br />feel appreciative. The odd thing is that your nervous system will<br />respond to both imaginary and real events in similar ways. And the<br />goal here is not to have something in your life that makes you<br />feel appreciation, but rather to be able to just create the<br />feeling (without having to have a reason). If you have chosen the<br />right fantasy, you will find that feelings of<br />appreciation/gratitude arise spontaneously. Then, just as with the<br />memory method, you let the fantasy drop away, and then focus on<br />the emotion. Practice this many times throughout the day, and<br />eventually you will be able to recall the feelings without the<br />need of the fantasy.</p><p>There is one more pointer in regards to the fantasy method.<br />Sometimes, a fantasy of having something to feel appreciative<br />about will bring up not just appreciation, but also feelings such<br />as sadness or anger at not actually having anything in your life<br />to feel good about. If this happens to you, then you must engage a<br />degree of mastery and allow the ‘negative’ feelings to be there,<br />while allowing the feelings of appreciation to arise. In other<br />words, allow whatever comes up to be there, while focusing your<br />attention on the feelings of appreciation.</p><p>For most people, one of these methods will eventually allow them<br />to create feelings of appreciation/gratitude at will. Practice the<br />method that works for you as often as you can. The attainment of<br />an appreciative or grateful state of mind and heart is the minimum<br />that is required to join us energetically in the Planetary Creatrix.</p><p>A Final Note About Workshops</p><p>The Hathor Creatrix, July 6-8 and The Sound Healing Training,<br />August 20- September 3, are the only two major workshops left in<br />2007. Right after The Sound Healing Training, we leave to teach in<br />Europe and plan to be out of the country for the rest of the year,<br />and well into the next. Tom will not be teaching the Sound Healing<br />Training in 2008.</p><p>In addition, we acquiesced to a strong request from Mary Magdalen<br />to take the work to the East Coast before we leave the country. We<br />will join several presenters at a Magdalen event in Norwalk,<br />Connecticut, July 27-29. Please note that we are not the<br />organizers for this gathering. Direct all inquiries concerning<br />this event to the contact person listed in the Calendar section of<br />our website.</p></blockquote></div>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey Lyra. I am glad you mentioned the Shawshank Redemption because I had a major synch with it. I have never even seen this movie but the mere fact that you mentioned Morgan &quot;Freeman&quot; makes everything make sense.</p><p>About a week ago I was really tired and fell asleep during the middle of the day. At the end of one of my dreams, I see Morgan Freeman smiling and then he points towards something as if there is something going to happen like something heading towards me. Just then I wake up, my Dad opens the door with his keys and enters.</p><p>I believe my Dad is free now and he doesn&#039;t know how to cope with this freedom. He was married for 30 years in a dysfunctional relationship. My mother would always nag at him and scrutinize his every move (she was very upset with his drinking because she thinks it screwed the family up and her marriage, but having an uncompatible relationship is enough to screw up a family as well.) In turn he escaped it all through alcohol. At one point he made a sincere effort to try and make things work, by quiting drinking for 10 years. They both finally got a divorce, but my Dad still drinks. He&#039;s been drinking 10 years straight now. He rarely goes a day without drinking. He&#039;ll drink between 6-12 beers a day, sometimes even more. He has cut back a lot since him and I moved out together into an apartment, but he still drinks. Almost everyday for 30 years, he would go to work, go to a bar, then come home and drink himself to sleep. On the weekends he would have a routine he&#039;d follow as well (it usually involved being away from the house as much as possible.)</p><p>His life is so different now. He once told me that he&#039;s barely hanging on. He is still functioning quite well at his work. He is so used to the nagging and hatred that was present in our last household, that I&#039;m sure he still has those conditioned responses to them in his thoughts even though noone is nagging him. He doesn&#039;t get hang overs, but I know his liver is probably very unhealthy. His and my higherself have both been communicating to me to save him. I know miracles are going to be possible in the future, so I think what needs to happen is I just need to help keep is vehicle in good condition. I called my uncle and he called someone he knew that could help council our family for free. I&#039;ve been rounding up my siblings and were all going to work together.</p><p>I think the best thing that can help anyone when they are confused and overwhelmed with too much freedom is to give them love and positive reenforcement. People have so many insane preconditioned thoughts that once they become unplugged from this matrix there is going to be a sea of chaos. This is when us leaders need to come to their aid.<br />Anyways, just thought I&#039;d share my synch and example of a freed prisoner finding it hard to cope with freedom.</p>]]></description>

This difficulty is aggravated by fragmentation of the process by which information is gathered and evaluated. The specialization of intellectual inquiry carries with it certain risks when assumptions within one discipline rest upon prior assumptions in other disciplines. No one can be an expert on everything, and when considering possibilities outside one&#039;s personal expertise, it is only natural to defer to what specialists in other studies claim to know.

Lovecraft did not realize that the ‘terrifying vistas’ are but a mirage seen through an open door. The truth is always unified, and as such it can only be friendly to those who seek the truth first.

Each night he has chipped away.......</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Red is eventually paroled and sent to a halfway house (the same used by the late Brooks). While Red is initially as despairing as Brooks, he decides to take Andy up on the offer made to him in prison. Red finds a box, hidden by Andy in a hayfield, that contains enough money for him to leave Maine and join Andy in Mexico.</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Hope</p><p>A major theme of the film is hope, symbolized in the music, but contained throughout the story of the film (even more so than the novel). Using a subdued messianic motif, Stephen King uses Andy Dufresne to bring hope and redemption to the fallen world of Shawshank Prison and its convicted felons –&nbsp; especially to Red.</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>The character of Brooks is in contrast to Red because the former had become ‘institutionalized.‘ Red says when discussing Brooks:</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; ‘These prison walls are funny. First you hate &#039;em, then you get used to &#039;em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That&#039;s institutionalized. They send you here for life, that&#039;s exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways.</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Brooks had lost all hope and accepted life at Shawshank as normal, was unable to integrate into society when he was released, and consequently committed suicide. (Symbolically, the novel represented this concept with a bird that was raised in captivity but was found dead in the prison courtyard when it was released into the wild; a scene that was in early drafts of the movie.)</p><p>In fact, Red is headed down the same path as Brooks until Andy changes his course by bringing him hope. Andy is thus Red&#039;s redeemer (in the religious sense of the word) because he saves Red from the sad end that Brooks met.</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p><strong><span style="color: green">As long as the inmates can remember what it is like to be free, and to feel the world on their own terms, they have hope. If someone is in the prison too long, like Brooks, the knowledge of freedom is lost, and a sort of dependence on the walls is formed that leads to Brooks&#039; tragic end. Red initially resists Andy&#039;s admonitions and testimony in the power of hope, but by the end of the film he is convinced. The last line has Red confessing, ‘I hope,’ and the film (but not the novel) shows that his hope was well-founded because he finally rejoins his ‘redeemer’ in paradise.</span></strong></p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Integrity</p><p>Roger Ebert suggests that the integrity of Andy Dufresne is an important theme in the story line, especially in this environment (prison), where integrity is sorely lacking. Andy Dufresne is an individual of amazing integrity (integrity, here, refers to adherence to a code of morality) among a host of individuals without integrity. It is his deep-seated belief in integrity that provides him with the moral fiber to be uniquely distinct from the other characters in the prison. This character trait is absent from both the inmates and the staff of the prison at Shawshank. Many believe that it is his integrity that provides the foundation for Dufresne&#039;s hope, persistence, courage, and self-esteem.</p></blockquote></div><p>_______&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;_______&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;_______&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;_______&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;_______</p><br /><p>The Shattered Self</p><p>Those Aspects Of Soul that have given up hope or even died.......</p><br /><p>Somewhere, Somewhen An Elixir, So Potent And Rare, Was Prepared</p><p>Then:&nbsp; &nbsp;Carried To All Levels And To ALL</p><p>The Blue Liquid Was Given.......</p><p>Deep, Healing Sleep And Dreaming</p><br /><p>They Enter The Chamber And Gently Swaddle The Sleeper They Hold So Dear</p><p>Then, To A Clearing In A Beautiful Forest Of High Magic</p><p>The Sleeper Is Laid Upon A Stone Alter</p><p>Dawn Is Approaching</p><p>And As The Light Grows</p><p>The Swaddling Veil Begins To Dissolve.......</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>For some reason, during the transitional months of spring and autumn I tend to go on a lot of &quot;journeys&quot; when I sleep.&nbsp; The other night I took a weird turn in the astral planes and I ended up in what looked like a school setting or meeting room. About 100 people were there, looking very anxious.</p><p>I walked around asking them, &quot;Where is this? What&#039;s going on?&quot;</p><p>And the people looked very frightened and told me &quot;We were told to wait here. We&#039;re going to be going to hell.&quot;</p><p>And I looked around a little more, and I got the sense that these were dead people who were &quot;new arrivals&#039; in the astral planes, and they&#039;d ended up in a zone created by their belief structure (the sense of judgment of being in school and waiting for their &quot;grades,&quot; after which they would fail.)&nbsp; And that they were awaiting an authoritative/outside/negative being or force to pronounce the fate of their eternal soul, only something was way off, because it all seemed to be about THEIR fear, not a true place of judgment.</p><p>Anyway, true to form, I stood up and attempted to gather people around.&nbsp; I told them that I knew how to get them out of here and that they didn&#039;t have to go to hell if they didn&#039;t want to.&nbsp; And I asked how many people wanted to come with me?</p><p>And people sort of looked scared and startled and overcome, like, &quot;How could that be? We were told that we&#039;re all going to be going to hell soon.&quot;</p><p>About fifteen or so people shyly came forward to hang out with me and asked me what they needed to do. And I led them through a very brief energy shifting process where we lightened our vibration, and they could see a doorway to a beautiful, love-filled dimension, and I guess we left after that because that&#039;s all I remember of the dream.</p><p>Now, the people we left behind didn&#039;t LOOK like they had rat snouts......but you never know. <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>LipstickMystic aka Jennifer</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The same can be said about prisoners in jail too.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know if you read or watched &quot;The Shawshank Redemption&quot; but the character played by Morgan Freeman doesn&#039;t want to be released from prison.&nbsp; &nbsp;He&#039;s been in there so long that it&#039;s become all he knows.&nbsp; &nbsp;He can&#039;t handle the outside world.</p><p>I think I&#039;m seeing the &quot;bigger picture&quot; meaning to this thread though <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /> concerning how would humans as a whole react to the idea of being shown the door of freedom out of this reality........</p>]]></description>
