Ho'Oponopono

Being that it is now the season of gift giving... Perhaps the greatest gift that one could bestow upon another, is the ultimate form of forgiveness and personal responsibility called Ho'Oponopono. Give it to yourself and you are giving it to another. Nobody lives in a vacuum. We are defined by that which is reflected back to us and called 'the world'. We live only in relationship and the ultimate relationship is Love. We give to you today the words of an ancient Hawaiian prayer and it is completely free with no strings attached. BUT... you must be the DOER of it. Nobody else can do it for you.

 About ten years ago, I learned a light-trance, hypnotic technique called Ho'oponopono. It is a nice visualization and reconciliation process, but I was fascinated with the name and I Goolgle'd it. The only thing that came up was the article I am posting below which has very little to do with the hypnotherapy technique, but I am grateful for it leading me to this understanding. Below the article we have taken the liberty to more accurately define the four parts of the prayer. We also have discussed this on our most recent radio show, Casual Conversations on Consciousness . This is a practice of using the highest level of consciousness which is called the Seventh Eye of God which comes from a lecture that we posted "The Seven Eyes of God" .  Joe Vitale, of The Secret, wrote a book about his experience with Dr. Hew Len and Ho'Oponopono called Zero Limits which is worthy of your time and attention.

So, with all our Love, Happy Holidays

HO'OPONOPONO by Joe Vitale

Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.

When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane? It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.    

However, I heard it again, a year later I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called Ho'oponopono I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more. I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does--but that's wrong.

Spiritual Enlightenment... The Damnedest Thing

The heretic in me just can't wait to post this about Jed McKenna. We have read these books several times and have to admit that the first time through was a bit discombobulating. You will be transformed for the reading... and in a good way. If you are invested in the GURU business or New Age Philosophy... you will be like some of our friends and treat us as a bio-hazard and keep your distance. And I think this is really the purpose of these books. Not to make people friendless, but to dynamite ANY notions of Spirituality, Reality and Truth that has not been stripped bare, like bleached bones in the desert sun.

These books are fun and transformative and take the reader well beyond the warm and fuzzy concepts found throughout the New Age arena. Jed McKenna is a pen-name and most people believe that they are written be spiritual teacher Adyashanti. We have viewed many of Adyashantis videos and like them very much and can see where he could be Jed McKenna... perhaps we will never know but it is only interesting and not really important who wrote it... just what it says and how it impacts humanity for the better. Here is a fantastic video interview of Adyashanti for your in-joyment

Einstein Debunked?

Like you, I did not realize that Albert Einstein needed to be 'debunked'. The icon of modern, scientific achievement surely must be beyond questioning? Alan Watt has some interesting info to share about a lot things that make sense at a certain level of understanding and openess. If you are new to any material from Alan Watt (Not to be confused with the deceased '60's hippie philosopher Alan Watts), you can look him up on YouTube. In the spirit of questioning ALL things that we, as a culture, have accepted as true... Even I found what he says about Albert Einstein extremely difficult to accept. However, 4 things I have learned over the years that have allowed this alternative view, of the great mind called "Einstein", to take some roots, are as follows:

1. Light does not travel.  HUH???   Walter Russell (see www.philosophy.org) claims that light does not "travel". This from a man who mastered all of the arts; music, painting, sculpture, architecture, and science with NO... Zero... education or formal training!!! and he has left us an exhaustive accounting of his tireless workings... the guy was no slouch! If it does not travel, then using its speed as 'The' universal constant is useless and the evidence through the field of quantum physics proves its inaccuracies by all of the unexplained contradictions that surround that theory.

The God Fractal...

Inspiring to see consciousness expressing through the younger generations.

"Thy will must be being done"

Consciousness, Health, and Restoring Faith...

We received this email today from Bob Stevens. The truth in his words are worthy of your attention here. You can review more of his work by clicking on the Mastery Systems link in the right column. We have reviewed much of his work over the years. He has studied one of our favorite teachers Neville Goddard and has masterfully incorporated his teaching into his works. We have never attended any of Bob's workshops, although would have liked to. "I AM called to share the wisdom I have gleaned about Herbal and Natural Healing. To do so requires me to stay with my Truth, our Body/Mind/Spirit is all one and must be supported as ONE. Here is a short version of my awakening…   I noticed something early on in the 70’s, which has taken me years to fully understand.   Any outside remedy only works IF the individual is in agreement with their health, wealth, and success. For years I marveled and struggled with the 1000’s of examples where 50% of my clients would transform quickly with the health upgrades, 50% would not.   Since this was not anywhere close to an acceptable success ratio, I kept looking deeper. What I found is Consciousness is the root Cause of every situation in Health, Wealth, Relationships, and All Life Situations....

Balloon Madness...

Here is a nifty collage of our pictures and videos of the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. InJoy!

Lumination on Steroids!

As much as the "Mass Ascension" brought us into a giddy mind of awe and wonder, the "Evening Glow" and "After Glow" blew our greatly expanded brains into oblivion. This is an evening event that starts at sunset and suddenly hundreds of balloons begin to come to life and rise up in the dark. This was so exciting that we ran back to the Merka-Bus to get warmer clothes, a little wine and a snack. Not much time for the snacks as we couldn't stop taking pictures. You are walking around and underneath these giant shapes and colors with the occasional eruption of volcanic fire and light coming from the burners that are the engines of the monsters. A voice over the loudspeaker would countdown and suddenly hundreds of dark balloons burst to life in sound, light and fury!... it's overwhelming!

Then came the "After Glow" fireworks display. WOW! We were wandering around the launch field under the glowing behemoths when they all started coming down. We stopped and put down a blanket and in about 15 minutes all the balloons were down and we find that we are right in front of the two areas of fireworks launch, which are perpendicular to each other.  We hope the pictures and videos give you at least a little bit of an idea of what it was like... but there is really no way to capture the whole of the experience.

The next morning the wind calmed just enough to start a mass ascension and we were downwind from the launch field, in the Merka-Bus, waking up to the sound of balloon burners. When we arrived to the RV parking field on Friday we followed the signs and waited in a long line to register. It was very organized and it wasn't long before a volunteer guide lead us to our spot among 3,000 other RV's. Our guide lead us to... get this!... the second row from the front and closest to the launch field!!!  So, the balloons are launching and floating right over our heads as we make a little hot beverage and toast. Some of the balloons landed in the RV parking area... which used to be the launch field years ago.

One word of advise... Do whatever you can to get there next year. seriously!!!!!

SEE MORE PICTURES!!!

Awe and Wonder...

If you have forgotten what it is like to have the Awe and Wonder that you felt when you were a child, then you must experience the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, in New Mexico. As it happened... we were visiting our good friends in Santa Fe when they mentioned this festival was starting the next weekend and we couldn't wait to jump into it!

This is the largest Hot Air Balloon gathering in the world and the most photographed event on the planet... with over 500 registered balloonists all take off in a carefully orchestrated launch event called "The Mass Ascension" that starts in the dark wee hours of the morning and lasts for several hours. This event  is 10 days long and the Mass ascension will bring an estimated 80,000 people to watch.

We arrived on Friday with the event starting on Saturday in our "Merka-Bus" with car in tow and joined a rally of over 6,000 RV'ers all within walking distance of the Launch Field. No hook-ups. Everyone "dry-camping" and there to enjoy the excitement and friendliness that only such an event can evoke. It truly brings out the best in people!

It brings back the feelings of being at the very first Space Shuttle lift-off where a million people gathered to witness the very best of Man's technological achievement. And here we were, in the dark, with 80,000 people walking around among 500 balloons that were slowly coming to life. It is a Slow-Motion event and these balloons are HUGE! You can walk in between them and right up to the gondola's (baskets the passengers stand in) and be overwhelmed with AWE & Wonder. Our faces hurt from smiling! When they are leared for take-off by the "Referee", they slowely rise and drift UP, UP and AWAY! It is SURREAL... And we trust that you will InJoy these pictures:

No Way to Know...

There is no way to know-your-way out of this current reality... The only knowledge that is possible, is self knowledge. It is not possible to know any more than self, and that is true on every level of creation and every dimension of the Imagination. This includes ascended masters and etheric beings, and Aliens, who seem to be greater than what we believe that we are. We are made 'Grasshoppers in a land of Giants' but at the end of the day, only one thing is actually happening and that is that consciousness is seeking its own self-definition.

For some time now, I have been suspicious about science and it's limitations, particularly when it comes to the mind. I found this video the other day and I like the way this topic is presented here. I think you will as well.... and you can't beat the presenter's credentials.

YOGA Inspiration from Disabled Vet...

The power of yoga on the Body/Mind system should never be underestimated. I employed a lot of yoga instructors in my past occupation and when I was freed from it, I actually had time to start exploring yoga regularly. The first instructor that I started working, was a tiny, Vietnamese woman who was like a liquid human, physically, and her story fits well as additional evidence for the following inspirational video. Before she was a Yoga instructor, she was an engineer for manufacturing company. She grew up in Vietnam and was intelligent and driven to succeed. After years of success in that field, she woke up one day with the doctors telling her she needed both knees replaced. The cartilage was completely deteriorated and according to them, irreparable. Years of poor eating habits and lifestyle had taken their toll on her only 50 year old body. Surgery was the ONLY option according to the doctors. She knew better and looked for alternatives, then found Yoga. She did Yoga obbsesively and got to the point where she could do 6 Bikram (the hot yoga) in one day! Her knees are completely healed, without surgery or ANY medical intervention. Her doctors dismissed her recovery and just said they must have misdiagnosed it. HA!!!!! I have written more about Yoga click here http://lifestyleluminaries.blogspot.com/p/real-yoga.html

YOGA HEALS! Period!
YOGA is Union
YOGA is Health

DO it!

The following video is FANTASTIC. This disabled veteran went from 300 lbs, unable to walk unaded, depressed, given up... to standing on his head!!!!

The Bible is all about the Mind...

Today we are posting this video from Bill Donahue... LOVE this guy!!!! Just happened across it on youtube and love his understanding and his common sense... and his PASSION!.

We have come to our own understanding of this through the teachings of Neville. A good place to start creating a different picture in your mind about the stories in the Bible is http://i-am.cc/Neville/lesson_1.htm.

One must remember that the Bible is written in a very unique way. It will reflect the mind of the reader. In other words, it means different things to readers in different levels of consciousness. The left-brained literalists see it in the only way they can... with horrendous results.

Watch this video and InJoy a quantum leap in understanding perhaps one of the most important books in history.

Find Out for Yourself!

The video below is a good example of why one must "find out for themselves". We can share with you that based on our experience with chlorine dioxide, that the story described therein is VERY likely to be true. Now, chlorine dioxide is also known as MMS as coined by Jim Humble, www.jimhumble.biz and is created when sodium chlorite is activated with food acid such as citric acid. This is a VERY controversial subject because any substance that costs pennies per dose and can really CURE a zillion things, is bound to come up against some formidable resistance from big-pharma and big-medicine. You can read more on our post, Something Dangerously Useful.

It is sad that the International Red Cross would lie and cover up this important discovery... but there it is!
