Suns of God: The Orion Revelation

By Dr. John Jay Harper -  a clinical hypnotherapist, futurist, medical research scientist, public-speaker and writer with the non-profit corporation American Delphi Academy. A former computer specialist, electronics engineer, and senior mental health counselor with the Department of Defense and a disabled veteran of the U.S. Army, today he is a radio/tv talk show guest in Canada, USA, and UK speaking to our worldwide changes in climate, culture, and consciousness over all else. 

The following article is based on the author’s new book Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century. 

“Man is the Measure of all Things.” — Protagoras of Abdera (c .480-410 B.C.)

“The workings of the human body are an analogy for the workings of the universe.” — Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519)

Introduction 

Once upon a time in the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, creatures calling themselves homo sapiens, a Latin term meaning “wise or knowing man,” lived in one of its smaller solar systems on a very small planet they nicknamed “dirt” or Earth.

Ironically, they were not wise, knowing — or unique.

They had simply forgotten their birth origins and destiny as celestial beings of the Orion Nebula, the birthplace of stars, the Suns of God on Earth.

So over the course of centuries, as they gazed into the night sky sitting around campfires yearning for clues, a sign from on high, they told each other creation stories, myths, and performed acts, rituals, to explain why they were in this predicament.

Some religionists said they sinned against a god, in one form or another, a being that had returned to the sky.  That they were now quarantined on Earth until a “savior,” in one form or another, returned as promised at the end-of-time.

Others of these so-called “wise men” known as scientists taught humans were accidents of a blind and dumb gene-generating universe; freaks of nature, that gods and saviors did not even exist.
But then these myths and rituals, especially the ancient symbols used in astrology began to make sense, add-up, with the modern observations of astronomy. One of these homo sapiens named Carl Sagan even mused:”Some 25 million years ago, a Galactic survey ship on a routine visit to the third planet of a relatively common G dwarf star, our Sun, may have noted an interesting and promising evolutionary development: Proconsul, the ancestor of homo sapiens, or modern man.”

Archaeologist, historian, and mythologist also known as D. M. Murdock, conclusively documents that major world religions are in fact founded upon an astro-theology: the story of stars as gods sent down from heaven to earth to save men from ignorance.

The larger realization based upon the overwhelming evidence suggests these humans represented the gods as action heroes on the ground to the people, as she catalogues in her book Suns of God: Krishna, Buddha, and Christ Unveiled. Of course, we have Jesus himself saying: “I have said, you are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”

Nonetheless, once we saw the creation story focused through the lens of Galileo and later Hubble and Herschel telescopes, the lights came on to full-star power again across the entire spectrum of science and religion theories of origins.

And a whole new way of seeing ourselves not as freaks of nature but as a planned family of genetically engineered, star seeded, celestial beings emerged. Clearly, the occult, or hidden, records collected by esoteric societies were beginning to pay rich dividends too with respect to our relationship to stars.

One of these pioneers, Alice Bailey, reported: “In the secret of the Sun Sirius are hidden the facts of our cosmic evolution, and incidentally, therefore, of our solar system. The Sirius System is always beaming helpful rays to the poor people of Earth who wallow in appalling ignorance, violence, and oppression.”

Suddenly the musings of mystics, shamans, and prophets of every culture made more sense, fit a pattern mirrored by stone structures at sacred sites worldwide; in particular Asia, Egypt, Mexico, England as well as the Hopi Nation in North America and Inca Empire in South America.
Egyptologist Wallis Budge, and others, linked the stars in Sirius, Orion, and Pleiades with emitting spiritual rays of light that “vivify gods, men, cattle, and creeping things … out of the seed of the soul.” Budge even declared, “The mention of Orion and Sothis (Sirius) is interesting, for it shows that at one time the Egyptians believed that these stars were the homes of departed souls.”

This rediscovered truth is straight-forward: We humans were designed to operate on a cosmic larger-than-life scale, as a “superman” mystics called Adam Kadmon, and artist Leonardo Da Vinci portrayed as perfection personified in The Vitruvian Man. That is, our human body was the mathematical mirror-image of the Phi ratio Fibonacci series spiral, the golden mean of the Cosmos.
Overall, we see our self-image in a new light as that of a “superstar,” the Sun of God, in fact, what theologian Matthew Fox calls The Cosmic Christ.

Plato was very clear in his treatise, Timaeus, that God made “souls in equal number with the stars and distributed them, each soul to its several star, and he who should live well for his due span of time should journey back to the habitation of his consort star.”

“Consciousness is King,” proclaimed philosopher of Rome, Plotinus, in the 3rd century A.D.
This then is true hidden knowledge: Stars are conscious beings of light and co-create planets for the development of infinite Christs-in-potential!

Gregory Sams, co-founder of the Harmony/Whole Earth Foods outlets in the United Kingdom, chaos theory expert, and now bestselling author of Sun of God: Consciousness and the Self-Organizing Force that Underlies Everything has it spot on: “This is the greatest cover-up in history!”

In other words, human beings are created to live eternally as physical beings made of sunlight. We are Children of the Sun, and the Sun behind the Sun, the Mother Star Clusters in the Orion Nebula of our Milky Way Galaxy.

The Orion Nebula is the birthplace of our Sun’s solar system and its lifecycle known as World Sun Ages.  The Maya, for example, saw the rebirth of Earth as beginning the Fifth Sun Age on December 22, 2012.

Ancients saw how species are seeded and mutated by starbursts, supernova explosions, solar flares, and Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs, as well as advanced civilizations. They saw cross-breeding between gods and men potentially helped evolve new cosmic creatures in an infinite loop of creation, destruction, and recreation: the life, death, and rebirth cycle of Suns of God.
This was hinted in the Holy Bible that such was the case as in Genesis 6:4: “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
Now scientists agree: we are Star Children:

“In a very real sense,” says University of Illinois astrophysicist Larry Smarr, “we are the grandchildren of supernovas.”

Harvard professor of astronomy, Robert Kirshner, says, “Generations of supernovas created the elements we take for granted-the oxygen we breathe, the calcium in our bones, and the iron in your blood are products of the stars.”

Fascinatingly enough, these sacred site ruins that we have turned into tourist traps can now become star map repositories of invaluable star seed information to reclaim our origins and destiny according to many scholars of them today.

And as we dug deeper into the forensic evidence of sacred sites, examined the blood, bone, and stones, so to speak; we decoded the meaning of the 12 signs of the times: the houses, mansions, or constellations the Greeks named Zodiac, or Circle of Animals. Again, it was Jesus who said: “In my Father’s house are many mansions, I go and prepare a place for you.”

So Zodiac signs were used to assign specific energy signatures to stars in the night sky with stones carefully crafted on-the- ground to create a mirror-image of their consciousness traits. This maps the 12 characteristics of constellations. Our own star’s lifecycle through time and eternity in what we know now as a 26,000 year precession of the equinox of The Great Year.

Naturopathic health practitioner Amalia Camateros, proclaimed in her book Spirit of the Stones: A Revival of Earth Wisdom, based upon insights into the Anasazi of the American Southwest: “This knowledge was stored in the rocks as living libraries and kept safe within until a future time.”
Stones are in effect sponges: they absorb and store consciousness that is carried by 12-rays of sunlight. Our human brain has 12 cranial nerves and earth 12 major tectonic plates to process light energy through them too. Needless to say, 12 is a key number to life, death, and rebirth as it defines, partitions, or sectors space itself into 12 signs of the Zodiac.

Perhaps, that is the greatest insights of so-called pagan cultures; they saw space is alive, conscious, with the ebb and flow of subtle solar radiation energy pulsations permeating everything forever. There isn’t anything new under the Sun other than a cosmic recycling program of celestial beings through a mixing and matching of star systems within galaxies.

Pyramids are The Word of God written in Stars and Stone

Distinguished writer Adrian Gilbert, stated this much in his book 2012: Mayan Year of Destiny: “By building a gigantic scale model of Heaven on Earth, they were establishing a psychic link to the stars of Orion/Osiris. Then, by carrying out certain funerary rituals, such as the ‘Opening of the Mouth’ and ‘Weighing of the Heart,’ within the confines of the pyramids, they could assist the pharaoh’s soul in its journey to the land of Osiris: the stars of Orion.”

Alan F. Alford of Walsall, England declares: “Ancient sages believed that the future destiny of mankind lay in a return to the Source, i.e. to God and Heaven. The death of the body, they said, did not mark an end but rather a critical mid-point in the human existence. Those who had the secret knowledge could retrace the path to the Heavenly Source and enter the gates to the lost paradise. The knowing soul would then unite with its primeval body-double and materialize in a remarkably Earth-like world.”

Ultimately we have rediscovered the secrets to reincarnation that were embedded in The Great Pyramid stones at Giza and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. They and other related sacred site structures all seek to help us recapture our roots in the stars and point us back home to our Twin Earth in the “star nursery” of the Orion Nebula.

What we’ve learned is pyramids were not burial tombs, but time bombs! They speak to the end-time of the Earth’s Shift on its polar axis realigning us with our home among the stars in the 21st Century now.

Indeed, our “god fathers” or Higher Selves are alive in a twin binary star earthlike system of planets defined by star clusters in the vicinity of the Orion, Sirius, and Pleiades constellations.
Robert Temple, the highly-acclaimed investigator of the Dogon tribe cultural myths in Africa, and also a member of the Royal Astronomical Society in England stated forthrightly in his classic text The Sirius Mystery: New Scientific Evidence of Alien Contact 5,000 Years Ago:

“Sirius was, astronomically, the foundation of the entire Egyptian religious system. Its celestial movements determined the Egyptian Calendar, which is even known as the Sothic Calendar.”
Sirius, the Dog Star, is the prime candidate for our Sun’s binary, double, or twin star system.
This insight is shared by archaeo-astronomer Walter Cruttenden, the Executive Director of the Binary Research Institute in Southern California in his book titled Lost Star of Myth and Time and DVD The Great Year.

The Orion Revelation

First and foremost, we look to the Orion Nebula to get oriented in the night sky, as did all the wayfarers on the ground that created the major sacred sites worldwide we have rediscovered.
Indeed NASA has named its new fleet of spacecraft replacing the space shuttle series in 2010, Orion. “Many of its stars have been used for navigation and guided explorers to new worlds for centuries,” says Orion project manager Skip Hatfield.

Orion, “The Hunter” in Greek mythology, is one of the largest constellations of star clusters visible everywhere from Earth. It straddles the celestial equator and is a navigational beacon, a lighthouse, to ships at sea and outer space.

This much we know: Orion, Sirius, and Pleiades are calling us to look up again, but pay attention to the Pyramid Text messages typed in stone on the ground at the Giza plateau outside of Cairo. 
Many scholars have blazed a trail for us to follow back home to these stars, in particular Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods, and Heaven’s Mirror. Also Adrian Gilbert and Robert Bauval, the sojourners tracking Orion’s “three belt stars” in the landmark book The Orion Mystery.
And Zechariah Sitchin in The Earth Chronicles Handbook.  He is an authority on the ancient Sumerian language that predates writing to 3500 B.C. with manuscript fragments speaking to the existence and significance of a Planet “X” that may be in a cycle of eternal return, or binary orbit with Earth.

In his text The 12th Planet published in 1976, Sitchin wrote with respect to extraterrestrial genetic engineering and the human race: “Man is the product of evolution; but modern Man, Homo sapiens, is the product of the ‘gods’.”

Quite clearly we are witnessing a common theme: We are not alone and never have been but we have been lost in outer space that we could not see through with our third eye open. That is what all the mystics, prophets, and shamans have declared as the truth throughout the Dark Ages: We are blind and dumb to inner space now. Philosopher of religion Jeremy Naydler stated in Temple of the Cosmos: The Ancient Egyptian Experience of the Sacred:

“In ancient times, by contrast, inner space was regarded as objective and as existing independently of the human psyche.”

However, it was Egyptologist John Anthony West in his book Serpent in The Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt, that solved the riddle of the Sphinx for me with his symbolic insights into the Temple of Man at Luxor.

For in its crumbling ruins, we find carefully crafted stones harmonically calibrated to the sacred geometry of stars and our subtle energy chakra system; and thus our bones and blood are tuned to music of the spheres by them to Orion Nebula.

West confirms that it is dualism, our split-vision between the unconscious and conscious minds that blinds and binds us: “Duality as the call to unchecked chaos and multiplicity is symbolized by the ‘serpent fiend, Apop,’ who devours the souls of the dead and thus denies them reunion with the source [or God].”

Thus we learn that the supreme purpose of pyramids was to open our mind’s eye to starlight.
By example, I include the testimony of Greg Roach, an accomplished computer scientist who had a profound out-of-body vision triggered by a shaft of light in the “immaculate conception room” at the Temple of Seti I in Abydos, after viewing the Flower of Life images for the first time at the Osirion, an underground ceremonial chamber compared by some archaeologists to a Amerindian Kiva in the U.S. desert Southwest.

In his own words, Greg tells us:

“While on an Egyptian Tour visiting the Osirion in Abydos, I had a psyche-shattering experience in the form of a spontaneous, all-encompassing out-of-body vision. After a brief meditation in this Temple, I stood up into a shaft of light that came from an opening in the ceiling. This triggered the most massive change in consciousness I have ever experienced. My sense of the external world fell completely away and I stood in the presence of an ineffable, unexplainable, glory. To my inner eye it took the form of an infinitely recursive living electric fire. I was laughing and crying at the same time. My mind was filled to overflowing with the most remarkable awareness-a glimpse behind the veil and a true experience of the fundamental unity of life.”

Of course, Osiris is the Egyptian Lord of love and the god of the afterlife in Orion and Sirius.
And I had a mountain top experience with the starlight sparkling in Orion’s Nebula in the winter of 2006.

While spending time in the old mining town of Republic, Washington, I happened to gaze up to the three belt stars in Orion. These stars were crystal-clear basking in that below-zero mile-high setting, and I immediately became mesmerized by them. I soon sensed a magnetic power flowing into my mind’s third eye and was stunned by this simple rhyme playing in my head: “Twinkle, twinkle little star how I wonder what you are, like a diamond in the sky?”

Clearly, star alignments coordinates, if not creates, our states-of-consciousness on earth with respect to location and the receptive condition of our whole brain and central nervous system.
In fact, the major point I share in this article is credited to Professor Frederick Mills in Atlanta, Georgia, a man who dedicated 35-years of his life to decoding the Geometry of Divinity (or G.O.D.) symbols employed at sacred sites on Earth and Mars.

Fred had a spontaneous out-of-body experience while a graduate student at Texas Technological University that he attributes to his intense preoccupation with geometric symbols used in human communications theory. In many ways, it was the classic kundalini awakening of cosmic consciousness, yet he found himself looking back at Earth from the distance of our moon.
However, he observed the step-by-step sequence of events and knew that what was happening to him could be replicated for everyone that wanted it. Thus Mills launched into a lifetime search to find the golden mean, the dividing line between consciousness and unconsciousness, the key to trance phenomenon. For he knew that his technique can be used as the template for world peace: The experience of oneness with man, nature, and God.

Overall Mills’ work bridges the gap between inner and outer space through opening the third eye with a unified field of cosmic consciousness as does the work of Roger Penrose in The Emperor’s New Mind and Richard Hoagland in The Monuments of Mars respectively seek to do as well employing a fifth or hyper-dimensional model of physics.

Most recently, Robert and Olivia Temple captured this sacred wisdom of the golden section, the Phi ratio and Fibonacci series, in their textbook The Sphinx Mystery: The Forgotten Origins of the Sanctuary of Anubis, confirming what Mills and I have discussed for a decade. Specifically, the Logos, or the Word of God to the Christian community, is really a reference to this idea the Temple’s and we share in common: “The Logos must be crucified to give the promise of eternal life by his resurrection.”

Previously the Temple’s had asked themselves: “But what is the meaning of the crucifixion? This is the remaining piece of the puzzle. The fact is that the crossbar of the cross represents the major of the upright of the cross divided in golden section, and by combining them … one was portraying the golden section by a symbol, a cross. Early drawings of crosses often had footbars. So the footbar is the minor, the crossbar is the major, and the upright is the sum of the two together. The minor and the major are in a ratio (logos). Crucified on the cross is the Logos himself, Christ.”  
In other words, Christ is the code of consciousness, the keyword, ratio, logos of the golden mean line segment sections of the Cross that Mills experienced consciously during his own crucifixion. His out-of-body “ego death” that is the feeling as one with Christ himself or Osiris to Egyptians or Quetzalcoatl to the Mesoamericans, and so forth. What Mills rediscovered is that we do not die at all because our limited sense of self becomes unlimited in that “Consciousness is King!”

From a science of soul perspective, the larger realization is that pyramids operate on this exact basic geometry set of principles unifying outer and inner space within one’s third eye complex. And this is what the sacred sites were doing by aligning a mountain of stones with specific stars while performing initiating rituals during the seasonal crossings of the equinoxes and solstices: That is, they were crossing themselves in order to resurrect Cosmic Consciousness within them.

They were seeking to yoga or unite in a personal relationship with God again as it was in the Garden of Eden Golden Age.

In a real way, it is possible to build a communication device using earth stones much as we do in an electronic printed-circuit board in our laptop computer only with silicon chips as micro-stones yet configured in the same crystal-lattice matrix. Over and over again we see a Master Technology Plan in Pyramids: a satellite communications network linking sacred-stone sites to starlight solar-power sources overhead to self-empower them with information.

To be clear, the Egyptians were calibrating pyramids to very precise alignments with the Sirius star system, Orion’s belt stars, the “Seven Sisters” of the Pleiades and the four fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius in the Zodiac. But especially was the Great Pyramid at Giza complex coordinated with the pole star Polaris in the 21th century-and we will soon see why: To alert us to the coming pole shift.

Therefore, this orientation of sky-to-ground is not a coincidence, a “trick of light and shadow,” with respect to Orion in particular as well as Sirius.

Native American scholar of the Hopi, Gary A. David, has also mapped Orion to the high desert mesas in the State of Arizona, as he reveals in his books The Orion Zone and Eye of the Phoenix. In a recent article titled Seeing Red: Will Betelgeuse Go Supernova in 2012?, he speculates that “beetle juice,” or Alpha Orionis, may have already in fact exploded with its light impacting our solar system and Earth only now.

Then Moria Timms described the effects of cosmic ray showers in her book Beyond Prophecies and Predictions: “In an instant, quicker than the eye could blink or the phosphene flare in the inner dimensions of the mind, the consciousness of the planet was encoded and imprinted. A superluminal transfer of extragalactic frequencies from deep space impregnated the Earth with the starseeds of neutrinos and radiation. Penetrating to the heart of the Earth’s magnetic core, this jump-start of cosmic energy served to accelerate the vibrational frequency of the life force, preparing us for an unprecedented evolutionary leap.” 


And here is where we add that star-power fuel supply to the fire kindled in the pyramids, literally. For we now have the engineering data analysis report of Chris Dunn provided in his book titled The Giza Power Plant. Dunn found unmistakable residues in the King’s Chamber of hydrogen gas combustion; that is to say, solar power.

But why we must ask; to do what for who and where?

I mean we find no residues of electric power pole lines used to light the cities in these regions; there are no airport runways, no interstate highways, or high-rise office buildings. There are no excavations unearthing an underlying asphalt jungle, in other words.

It is becoming obvious that our ancestors worshipped the stars for a very wise reason then: DNA tune-ups! They were fine-tuning their subtle energy “soul” body matrix, what Egyptians knew as the Ka and Ba twins, to the very same stars from which they came originally and therefore had a natural organic resonance.

Naturally, we are all made of stardust and we process sunlight through our solar-powered cells. We call that cycle of sunlight-processing in plants “photosynthesis” and in fact that is why we eat the plants, and the animals that also eat those plants, to extract the trapped photons of light from them.
Of course, water, H2O, is the supreme source of life, and it too is made of the hydrogen plasma filaments cooked by suns and later condensed into green gaseous atmospheres by living planets. 
So the evidence left behind by pyramids attests to a lifestyle that is organic, shamanic, and one in complete harmonic balance, or resonance, with the solar sunspot cycles of stars in the night sky.
Clearly these stone structures were solar collectors of sunlight, as well as celestial clocks, sunstone calendars calibrated to a 26,000 year cycle of the solstices, and equinoxes, with respect to the Zodiac.
In no uncertain terms, I’m saying sacred sites were designed in accordance with the star chart map of eternal life portrayed in the symbolisms of astrology and alchemy.

One example that speaks to this solar timing-pulse precision in Egypt is The Denderah Zodiac and we know the Mayan Calendar also had a similar purpose, forecasting the future on a galactic, solar, planetary, and personal scale of prediction.

So did the I Ching, the Book of Changes, in Asia.

It may also be the case these oracles, divining tools, were used to track the angle of tilt to our globe between World Sun Ages.  Perhaps, a pole shift is a natural organic cycle, akin to how farmers rotate crops between seasons, leaving one section fallow and seeding the other section. Though this would place one land mass or continent underwater and bringing another up to dry land planting status again.

Author of Pole Shift: Predictions and Prophecies of the Ultimate Disaster, John White, has counseled as early as 1980: “Spiritual traditions warn that we shall reap what we sow.  Psychic traditions offer an explanation of how and why this must be. The many ‘crimes against nature’ that people are perpetrating-over-population, environmental pollution, wasting of nonrenewable resources, nuclear testing-along with ‘crimes against humanity’ such as war, economic exploitation, the imposition of inhumane living conditions, religious persecution, political abridgement of human rights, intolerance and bigotry toward minorities, etc., are all pouring negative thought forms into the planet’s energetic foundation. The result will be geophysical cataclysm: earth changes and a pole shift.”

According to all indigenous cultures, the common denominator that triggers a pole shift is the Sun and its resonant relationship with the Suns behind Our Sun, our Mother Stars within the Galactic Center.

Even human illness is triggered by radical changes in the Sunspot cycles, in particular, viral pandemics brought on by atmospheric changes in climate, that alter jet streams, creating extreme weather patterns and susceptibility to disease.  In the final analysis, life is all about the feedback loop of cosmic consciousness that exists between Earth and Sun.

Sunspots shape the Sun’s own atmosphere, its corona and solar wind; the short-wavelength solar radiation pulses from ultraviolet to X-ray. They regulate frequency of flares, coronal mass ejections, CMEs, and other solar eruptive phenomena, and modulate the flux of high-energy galactic cosmic rays entering our solar system from the Orion Nebula.

So, ready or not, space weather soon becomes earth weather.

Thus the purpose of Egyptian, and Mayan Sun-worship myths and rituals were scientific-not superstition-based upon a well-calculated survival strategy to routinely bring balance back to the North-South polar axis of The World Tree. In plain terms, pyramids are built to the Golden Mean Phi ratio spiral and the Fibonacci number series standards in order to align The Vitruvian Man with The Galactic Cross.

The Vitruvian Man

The Vitruvian Man is one of Leonardo da Vinci’s signature creations that is dated to about 1487 A.D. The design is based upon the notes of Marcus Vitruvius Pollio; a Roman writer, architect, and engineer living 1500 years earlier.  The image captures the human body as perfection in nature, the “measure of all things.”

Da Vinci himself said, “The workings of the human body are an analogy for the workings of the universe.”

We are speaking to the perfect man living in the perfect place called paradise: The Golden Age.
Mythologist Richard Heinberg reminds us in his book Memories and Visions of Paradise: Exploring the Universal Myth of a Lost Golden Age: “As human consciousness lost contact with its internal, heavenly source of power, technology emerged as a power substitute. Its first appearance was as sympathetic magic and as the invocation of spiritual beings to change Nature for human benefit. However, as human awareness became increasingly restricted to the material world, purely mechanical technologies appeared.”

Indeed, sacred site stone megalith monument technologies are all constructed employing the Golden Mean Spiral. Jill Purce, author of The Mystic Spiral says, “The universal spherical Vortex is perhaps the most complete symbol by which we can map our cosmic journey.”

My colleague, Fred Mills, in fact pointed out to me many years ago that The Vitruvian Man held a key insight into mapping the flow of cosmic consciousness through the double-helix spiral of our DNA macromolecule as well as the pyramids on Earth and Mars.

That is, the so-called Face on Mars and the pyramid complex on its Cydonia plateau mirror the Great Pyramid complex on the Giza plateau as the same geometry is encoded in these structures and The Vitruvian Man. You can overlay this man to the monument; those same angles, ratios, proportions, of the buildings are the human body in all its extraterrestrial glory in other words!

Clearly, there is a message in the fact that Cairo translates to an Egyptian word for Mars as well.
It seems that once we connect-the-dots we witness that we are being invited to a family reunion of star-seeded children of the Suns of God.   

Investigative mythologist William Henry wrote an article titled Christ’s Cosmic Wormhole. In this third eye-opening treatise, he surveys the history of an instrument of space-travel known as the “djed column” or “Pillar of God.”

He says that this is a forty-five foot tall golden-colored device located in “Temple complexes throughout the ancient world including Egypt and Solomon’s Temple.” Henry speculates the Pillar of God was used in a magical way to open up a vortex spiral, a tunnel into space-time realms throughout the universe.

Now a British academic writer in religious studies and classical philosophy, Dr. Jeremy Naydler, author of Temple of the Cosmos and Shaman Wisdom in the Pyramid Texts, an expert in deciphering Egyptian glyphs and scripts from a mystical, shamanic perspective, says virtually the same thing: “The raising up of the djed column also symbolized the rebirth of the soul. For the Egyptians, the flow of life-giving forces into the world of nature was dependent upon the resurrection of Osiris ‘on the other side’ in the spiritual realm of the Dwat.”

That spiritual realm is centered upon, as is the Great Pyramid, the belt stars of Orion Nebula.
Overall, we are looking at life-enhancing rituals that invoked the sensations of oneness, unity or cosmic consciousness here and now; the heavenly state-of-feeling connected testified to by all mystics, prophets, and shamans as the end-goal of creation: bringing Heaven to Earth.

Again, Richard Heinberg speaks to this desired state in Memories and Visions of Paradise:
“The Hopi legend of the First People says that they ‘felt as one and understood one another without talking.’ The original mind seems to have been a kind of living, pulsating web of telepathic interconnectedness, through the strands of which flowed a current of universal love.”

In what the Egyptians called “Zep Tepi, the First Time in Orion,” they could communicate telepathically with our mirror-image Twin Earth until the electromagnetic poles of the earth shifted, flipped the light switch off in our pineal gland, and we found ourselves in the Dark Ages-once again.
That is, our earth’s ground-to-sky orientation to the Orion Nebula lost its calibration timing-signal, knocking us off the celestial equator centerline with it and out-of-touch with home base. We then suffered a catastrophic “fall from grace” and a failure to communicate with Mission Control!
We have been in the dark ever since unless a mystic, prophet, or shaman would share insights with us. This fact is illustrated convincingly by anthropologist Jeremy Narby in The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge.

That is why this multi-dimensional vision of reality was sought after in every culture using substitutes such as alcohol, tobacco, and potent mood-modifying as well as mind-altering drugs made of mushrooms, medicinal herbs such as ayahuasca tea vines, and marijuana plants.

Today this third eye open vision is triggered clinically by using hallucinogens containing DMT, Dimethyltriptamine to flood the pineal gland as has been well-documented by psychiatrist Rick Strassman in his text DMT: The Spirit Molecule.

This then is the spaceflight mission of The Vitruvian Man: To restore heaven on earth consciously in a renewed Garden of Eden. But as we know evolution is a brutal process and it will take our best and brightest efforts to survive the Polaris pole shift of the ages into Aquarius.

Indeed, Our Global Brain is being initiated into the mysteries of cosmic consciousness today as geo-scientist Gregg Braden conveyed in Awakening to Zero-Point: The Collective Initiation and Dr. Jose Arquelles alerted us in The Mayan Factor: The Path Beyond Technology: “The octahedral crystal-two tetrahedra joined together-is the radio-gyroscope holding the harmonic resonance of the Earth in its orbit. The crystal core catches or traps the galactic beams attracted to Earth by mutual resonance.”

However, we remain blind and dumb as to the coming Earth Changes for the most part. Politicians and the mass media have our guts all twisted-up into knots over saving the economy when it’s the ecology that will save our soul stupid!

We are the geometry, the ratio, Logos of the Word made flesh in the accelerating evolutionary spiral of a galactic-level mutation; biologically this is called a genetic “transposition burst” that is rewriting the non-coding or “junk” language of light codes within DNA.

This is a time of galactic genetic engineering, a cleansing cycle of enhancement as our sense of consciousness is reprogrammed by radiant bursts of star light energy in a new World Sun Age. Again, we call these magnetic pulses of information biophotons; they are signals from stars that communicate cell-to-cell throughout the entire lifecycle of our light body and beyond to the zero-point field.

In other words, we are immortal celestial beings of light right now made of microscopic drops of DNA that are liquid-crystals of sunlight! But when we cannot see creation firsthand at the level of the biophotons through the lens of our third eye, we see only shadows of reality as portrayed symbolically by the images seen on the walls of Plato’s Cave.

Hence, we see the severe clashes of cultures during these times of major earth changes in consciousness today especially. For we truthfully cannot see third-eye to eye because the language of the birds-the telepathic symbols used to communicate-have been scrambled by the last pole shift, the metaphoric collapse of the Tower of Babel or Pillar of God.

Thus we have to resort to reports from the mountain-top experiences of mystics, prophets, and shamans as our saviors: From Meru to Olympus to Sinai to Mount of Olives to the Oracles of Delphi.
Yet there is hope because not only are the pyramids and sacred site ruins still resonant with this truth but the crop circles seek to revitalize our “dead” memories as elegantly retold by graphic design artist Freddy Silva in Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles.

More and more these cryptograms in cereal grains speak to our birthplace among the stars. Whether we examine Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyphs, the myths of Hopi Nation in the Southwestern United States, or crop circle images, we find a common theme in them all: the Hero Twins as binary star companions.

Indeed the idea that we are mirror-images of Christ is a major unifying theme of the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. In that original text it is written that Jesus, a son of the Sun of God, had a twin brother named Judas Thomas Didymus, and even that is a play on words for twins. For both Thomas and Didymus mean twin, so Jesus supposedly had a twin brother named “twin-twin.”

That is a dead give-away from religion as to the fact that we are clones of Christ and come from the same star seed source in the Orion Nebula.

Robert Temple learned this truth from the Dogon tribe in Africa with respect to Nommo: “The parallels with Christ are extraordinary, even extending to Nommo being crucified on a tree, and forming a Eucharistic meal for humanity and then being resurrected.” The genesis legends of creation are focused on salvation, thus begin and end with a divine pairing of Hero Twins: One saved and one sent to save the other’s twin soul brother from a life of hell.

Indeed, the evidence is overwhelming for a Binary Soul Doctrine, or BSD.

Foremost authority on BSD, Peter Novak, documents in a trilogy of texts how he has rediscovered The Lost Secret of Death, Our Divided Souls, and the Afterlife: that if we live without “knowing” the reality of hells and heavens and how to navigate through these realms we get trapped in them once our soul-our conscious and unconscious mind-divides, separates, or splits from our physical body again at its time of death.

This is of course the focus of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The chants, prayers are to awaken the soul to its situation post-mortem and send it to its eternal home in the sky, or heaven, or as I am suggesting back to the Orion Nebula: our original birthplace that we seek to mirror on earth with sacred site structures, myths, and rituals.

This truth then is what the Gospel of Thomas declared was the meaning to the admonition of Jesus “to make the two, one again.” Our reward for doing so he said was clearly worth our best efforts for in the end “Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings shall not taste death.”

That is, upon death our soul’s mind will not split itself in two again. Our intellect and affect, our thoughts and feelings, or memories, will not fragment and need to be retrieved from the “pit” we call hell. We can focus our whole integrated mind on returning to Twin Earth through the tunnel-of-light that will open to us as those near-death experiencers that I have interviewed have in fact shared with me is true.

The difference in life, and death, is all about Gnosis: Knowing the truth that will set us free!
In fact, the “pit” in the bottom of the Great Pyramid recreated the dark unknowing of hades, the hell of unconsciousness; its aimless, mindless, soulless wanderings in the after-death realms, claimed author of the comprehensive text on this insight, Decoding The Great Pyramid by Peter Lemesurier.
So the rituals that took place in this specific pyramid complex with its pit, and the ascending Queen to King’s Chamber were focused on resurrecting the “initiate” into remembrance. It was, in no uncertain terms, a shamanic soul retrieval or reincarnation technology that we also need to understand now.

Nor we do not want to lose our way in this earth’s heavens that are floating-freely within the magnetosphere, its fields of dreams, and forget to travel through the looking glass time-tunnel of light consciously that opens upon death into our mirror-image earthlike twin world in the Orion Nebula.
Once more we see that our “failure to communicate” honestly with our selves and each other as well as our binary twin star soul double is the larger plan of salvation.

For we star children can use our life-line to phone home telepathically!

Itzhak Bentov, a biomedical researcher, writes in Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness, “We may say now that in deep meditation the human being and the planet system start resonating at a very long wavelength of about 40,000 kilometers. It is the ideal medium for conveying a telepathic signal.”

Our mind is the Mind of Mother Earth, but what happens to a planet and its people that do not link-up telepathically fast enough, achieve a unified field of mind, co-existence and harmony?

We suffer a severe electromagnetic pole shift due to the “unnatural disasters” we’ve created militarily that unbalanced the organic flow of light energy pulsating around and through the trunk of The World Tree. In the end, we find we have weakened the protective sheath of the magnetosphere that shielded our globe from the lethal doses of gamma-radiation mutations.

That is, we experience the purifying fire of the galactic and solar killing field. Indeed, we must restore environmental balance or we will be recycled in large numbers due to a nuclear catastrophe that triggers a war-ending pole shift is what the scriptures and shamans of every civilization tell us in one way or another.

This worst-case scenario has happened before according to the Sumerian scholar Zechariah Sitchin, declaring “The audacious idea of protecting a planet thermally by creating a shield of particles in its upper atmosphere is not as revolutionary as it seems. It was, I wrote in my 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, exactly the reason why the Anunnaki-‘Those who from Heaven to Earth came’-had come here some 450,000 years ago from their planet Nibiru.”

He adds: “On Nibiru — ‘Planet X’ of our Solar System – the problem was the opposite one: Loss of internally generated heat due to a dwindling atmosphere, brought about by natural causes and nuclear wars. Nibiru’s scientists, I wrote, concluded that the only way to save life on their planet was to create a shield of gold particles in their upper atmosphere. It was in search of the needed gold that the ‘gods’ of the ancient peoples had come to Earth.”

For Earth, the showstopper is of course an all-out nuclear war, WWIII, known as the Battle of Armageddon, and that is why we focus on the City of Peace, Jerusalem, to see if the global scales of justice will be rebalanced by 2012-or we allow the wheels to fly off the axis of The World Tree.
Time will tell the tale once and for all very, very soon.

There are indeed many reliable sources not the least of which are the near-death experiences that dovetail with my research into Amerindian, Biblical, Egyptian and Mayan End-Time prophecies correlated with massive Earth Changes. One of the pioneers into NDE visions is Dr. Kenneth Ring, a social psychologist, who summarized the message of them to us as follows:

“There is, first of all, a sense of having total knowledge, but specifically one is aware of seeing the entirety of the earth’s evolution and history, from the beginning to the end of time.”

“The future scenario, however, is usually of short duration, seldom extending much beyond the beginning of the twenty-first century. The individual reports that … there will be an increasing incidence of earthquakes, volcanic activity and generally massive geophysical changes.”
“There will be resultant disturbances in weather patterns and food supplies. The world economic system will collapse, and the possibility of nuclear war of accident is very great but respondents are not agreed on whether a nuclear catastrophe will occur.”

“All of these events are transitional rather than ultimate, however, and they will be followed by a new era in human history, marked by human brotherhood, universal love and world peace. Though many will die, the earth will live.”

In fact, according to some near-death experiencers that I have consulted such as Ned Dougherty, the cause of earth’s catastrophes is consistent: “Every act of destruction of God’s environment on Earth multiplied into destructive forces of nature-earthquakes, floods, pestilence.” Equally, he was shown by a being of light in an Egyptian Temple while in what he saw was the Orion constellation that our planet’s poles will shift or tilt. He reports, “a shifting of the Earth’s axis will create dramatic climatic changes.”

Dougherty says further, “During my ‘death’ experience, I had been told that humankind would evolve into a new and more spiritually transformed race of beings. Perhaps God would bestow upon mankind the ability to communicate telepathically, so that human beings could only then communicate honestly with each other.”

In addition, we have the NDE testimony of Reverend Howard Storm who learned from beings of light hovering outside the center of a galaxy what our new heaven and new earth will be like for those alive then: “Everybody was a student of Nature, which they knew intimately and with which they could communicate, knowing the sensations and vibration of every part of creation. People explored outer space without moving an inch. People communicated telepathically with everyone on Earth and had relationships with intelligent beings on other worlds.”

Yet Mayan scholar John Major Jenkins understands my immediate concerns clearly and forcefully, commenting in Pyramid of Fire: The Lost Aztec Codex: “The Greek writer Seneca … gives more details on the Babylonian World Age doctrine, saying that the world is alternately destroyed by flood or fire when the planets line up in Capricorn or Cancer. Such a statement implies that global destructions occur at the two extreme poles of the Great Year of precession.”

Russian psychiatrist Immanuel Velikovsky, co-founder of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and author of Worlds in Collision declared destruction comes when “Two celestial bodies have been attracted one to each other. The inner masses of the Earth were pushed to the periphery. The Earth, with its rotational movement disturbed, started to warm.”

Indeed, it is no coincidence that Mark Vidler in his book The Star Mirror: The Extraordinary Discovery of The True Reflection Between Heaven and Earth reports: “All the pyramids of the Old Kingdom have a shaft oriented to the polar region in the sky. This is one axis of the ‘mill wheel’ of the heavens and the arrival of a brilliant star at this point suggests that the heavenly axis is ‘heating up.'”
Vidler adds: “In Hamlet’s Mill, Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Deschend recover an abundance of evidence confirming the ancient preoccupation with this axis on the celestial sphere and its association with a predicted Earth Shift.”

Specifically, Mark Vidler has performed years of careful research into the location of pyramids as gateways to stars. He correlates “stars to mountains,” creating a crystal-clear sky-to-ground map that mirrors the geometry of the Great Pyramid. Interestingly, and prophetically, he reveals, “We are told that Polaris is an omen of global shift and have seen the ancient Egyptian murals depicting the sun taking a violent leap when it arrives on the raised limb of Orion.”

That is to confirm, we will come under the cosmic ray gun of extremely intense Coronal Mass Ejections from our Sun. These galactic gamma-ray bursts are of concern to astrophysicist Paul LaViolette as he put forth in his book rightly titled Earth Under Fire because of interstellar dust clouds that are creating a thermal blanket around the Sun and cause it to overheat and explode violently in spasms of boiling plasma, CMEs, some of these aimed directly at Earth.
Adrian Gilbert understands as well, and reiterates, “As I have said, the southern star gate is of principle importance because it is also aligned with the center of our galaxy. What this means in practice is that on 21 December 2012, any person observing the Sun will also be looking directly toward the core of the Milky Way: the place where astronomers say there is a black hole with a mass some three hundred million times that of our Sun.”

In summary, in the Apocalypse of John, also known as the Book of Revelation, we are warned that our world will be cast into a solar furnace, a “lake of fire” at the end-of-time. This scenario is in fact what Lou Famoso saw during his near-death, out-of-body experience to be true from the perspective of the Orion Nebula. He saw two balls of fire roar past him headed for our Sun. Then a HUGE CME erupted from it and headed straight for Earth. The result is an estimated 45-degree Pole Shift with simultaneous cataclysmic earthquakes, tsunamis, the sinking of old and rising of new continents, and the explosion of volcanoes on the Ring of Fire. So that we are not caught unawares, blind and dumb, an Angel he identified as Gabriel gave Mr. Famoso the following message to take back to us, and in closing I share that with you now:

“Look to Orion and you will know when the new world will come.”
“The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, humankind will have discovered fire.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955)

Every thought is like a kite

Every author and producer must understand that when any one of us receives or meets with images and thoughts that touch them on a profound level, they are incapable of retaining them completely, and they in turn throw them into the ether like a kite. And when someone else grasps the string dangling from the sky, they hold it for only an instant, before releasing it again to be caught by another hand, another heart. 

We are just like a jazz orchestra. A composer writes a piece and then the musicians try to interpret it in the best way they can, until they all play together in perfect harmony.

A friend once asked me if he could use and share the images and thoughts contained in this web site, and the best reply is probably that of the writer Sioux, which goes more or less like this:


"You do not need to ask my permission to cite something that I have said or written. You and I are carrying out the work of the Creator. We are the fluctuating pencils of the spirits. It is our duty to provide information”.

 
We invite you to use any content you wish. 


The concept of possession of anything, words in particular, is a mere illusion. Because, when we share them with others, they enter to become part of the universe!

 

The most important thing is that those who receive them appreciate them for what they are. Then if they or someone else decides to revise them, by changing the text or removing the parts that they do not like, they are free to do so, because they have already escaped our grasp and our minds.

Why and how to develop higher bodies and higher senses

By

Our current evolutionary goal is to step out of our humanity and into our Divinity. Now, in order to reach this lofty goal, part of what we have to do is build higher bodies and develop higher senses.
The idea of building higher bodies and developing higher finer senses may sound like wild fantasy on first hearing, however, evolution being a fact in nature, does it not make sense that as we expand our consciousness and reach up into higher frequencies, as per the law of magnetic attraction and resonance, higher matter becomes accessible to us and out of that higher finer matter we then build higher finer bodies serving as suitable mediums of contact on these higher, finer planes?


The physical body enables us to interact in this physical world; the emotional body enables us to interact in the emotional world and the mental body enables us to interact in the mental world. As we advance on the Spiritual path and manage to pierce into higher dimensions of reality, we’ll need higher finer bodies to move around and interact in these higher dimensions.


I know this may sound rather weird and strange (to some) but maybe this analogy here helps in our understanding:

We built carriages, bikes and cars to move around on Earth. However, to move around on water, we had to build boats and ships. Why? Because carriages and cars don’t drive well on water As we advanced Spiritually, we began to move around in the air. Boats don’t work well for traveling through the air, so we built planes. Now, we are ready to explore space, but planes are not suitable for space traveling. For that very reason, we are now building space ships.

In the same way: We need different vehicles to move around in the various dimensions. We need a physical body to move around in this physical dimension here, an emotional body for the emotional plane, a mental body for the mental plane, an intuitional body for the intuitional plane, and so forth.
The Spiritual path is the path out of matter towards Spirit. To advance on the Spiritual path, by definition, means to become less matter and more Spirit. This is why, in order to advance on the Spiritual path, we need to keep spiritualizing the bodies we have (in this way sublimating them) and get busy building new, higher bodies made of new higher material.

Evolution into ever higher, finer dimensions is a fact in nature; and higher light body building enables us to commune and communicate in these higher dimensions.

ACTION STEP: Get serious about refining the bodies you have and start building new higher bodies. How?

Step 1: 
  • Refine your physical/etheric body by refining your diet and getting lots of sunshine and fresh air.
  • Refine your emotional nature by forcing yourself (by enforcing your will) to perpetually vibrate love, joy, enthusiasm and gratitude no matter how challenging the situation may appear.
  • Refine your mental body by diligently and persistently thinking high, lofty thoughts. Don’t allow any vagrant thoughts or discouraging, negative thoughts to live in your mind. You would not allow a vagrant to enter and dwell in your home, would you? Force them out!
These simple exercises, if earnestly applied, will literally sublimate the bodies you have. To sublimate the bodies we have means to build into our bodies higher finer atoms while at the same time shaking out lower gross atoms.


Step 2: We build higher light bodies by expanding our consciousness into unexplored territory. Never allow yourself to stand still. Always be striving for the higher life!! To strive for the higher life means to advance into the higher life. If we never strive for the higher life, we will never get there. So, always be striving! Think the loftiest thoughts you can possibly entertain. Strive to think in abstract terms. Think about the Divine, look for the Divine in every face, in every flower, in every animal. Think about your Soul and identify with the I AM. Strive to become Soul-aware in the here and now.

7 Steps to Think like Leonardo da Vinci: The Guide to Everyday Genius

By Andrea Balt

Leonardo da Vinci principles

I awoke, only to find out that the rest of the world was still asleep.

— Leonardo da Vinci 

What does it mean to be a genius? Is genius born or made — or both? How do you practice brilliancy? How do you cultivate aliveness? How do you develop your multiple talents, loves and abilities and how can you evolve in every aspect that amounts to the complex equation of You? 

When IQ becomes just a number on a made-up scale, perception changes with fashion, and an excess of information doesn’t equal deeper knowledge and cannot replace experience… is there a more solid, whole and deliberate way to identify and cultivate true brilliance? A model to follow — general enough to include all our multiple types of intelligence, yet practical and particular enough for any one of us to embrace it and work our genius every day?
There might be…
A while back, I wrote about my fascination with Leonardo da Vinci, and why I wanted to have (or be) his baby.
In this article, I’d like to focus on the seven wonders of  his creativity — the dimensions in which his genius could be synthesized, and proactively cultivated by any of us, self-proclaimed wannabe Renaissance people.
In his inspiring classic How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day, on which this article is based, Michael Gelb, asks:
Can the fundamentals of Leonardo’s approach to learning and the cultivation of intelligence be abstracted and applied to inspire and guide us toward the realization of our own full potential?
He goes on to brilliantly identify these principles and teach us how to incorporate them into our modus operandi on a daily basis.

Renaissance means “Rebirth.” And the only way to change your life is by the integrated use of your creative (super)powers.

Reality, as you perceive it, is not the norm. In the quantum field of creative possibilities, there is no norm, other than the fact that you are a creator and as such, only you have the ultimate power to re-shape your life and take yourself to the next level.
You can’t live any other life than the one you are currently creating through your thoughts, dreams, feelings, emotions and overall “life practice.”
You are what you do. But not just what you do for a living. Your life is the sum of everything that you, as a conscious (or unconscious creator) practice with your body, mind, heart and actions. Every second of this life is an act of creation that leads to a specific result, and these results compose your life’s masterpiece.
In order to alter your results, you must first understand the deeper motives and beliefs that lead you to create what you are creating, and secondly, tweak your modus operandi — the way you think, dream, act and ultimately, exist in the world — in order to match your creative purpose.

So how about we co-create a School of Genius where we can collect all the timeless bits and pieces of truth that will help us evolve into a new version of ourselves and experience our own personalized Renaissance?

Here are the seven Da Vincian steps to genius that, according to Michael Gelb, will unblock your creative aorta and unleash your genius. I highly recommend you read the entire book (if you haven’t yet) and slowly chew on it until you become so familiar with the brilliant, holistic and multi-layered Renaissance archetype that Leonardo has set, that you can’t help but to become it. In Gelb’s words,
The seven principles I eventually identified were simply my attempt to write the how-to guide that Leonardo never put down on paper, to codify the principles implicit in Leonardo’s work so that they can be used by others. I feel very strongly that the genius of Leonardo resides not just in what he created by in what he can inspire us to create. Beyond all his stellar achievements, Leonardo da Vinci serves as a global archetype of human potential, giving us intimations of what we ourselves may be capable of doing.
Clear throat. Make more tea. Ready, set, go… Where is that fake Italian accent when you most need it?

1. CURIOSITÀ (CURIOSITY) — “An insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning.”

Leonardo’s intense catlike curiosity and desire to understand all things lead him to develop an investigative detective-esque lifestyle, in a constant quest to discover and absorb the world inside and outside him. He relentlessly believed that “the knowledge of all things is possible.”
Curiosity is a state of mind and a way of living. “Great minds go on asking confounding questions with the same intensity throughout their lives,” says Gelb. Just a taste of Leonardo’s to-do list gives an extra pair of wings to our twenty-first century, tired imagination:
One of the exercises Michael Gelb suggests, in order to cultivate your curiosity is to carry a journal or notebook with you at all times, like Da Vinci did, so you can jot down your ideas as soon as they happen. (A recorder is another option, but nothing beats the written word).
Leonardo’s notebooks amount to over 7,000 pages containing,
jokes and fables, the observations and thoughts of scholars he admired, personal financial records, letters, reflections on domestic problems, philosophical musings and prophecies, plans for inventions, and treatises on anatomy, botany, geology, flight, water, and painting.
Da Vinci's studies of the Child in the Womb

18 sheets of Leonardo’s notebooks were purchased by Bill Gates for 30.8 million dollars in November, 1994.

{Vitruvian Man – International icon of human potential. Leonardo’s drawing of the ideal proportions of the human figure based on De Architectura by Vitruvius, from the 1st century B.C.}
Our education system has slowly replaced our most burning questions for pre-made answers and thus, eliminated curiosity from our heart’s organic dictionary. It’s time to get it back.
As Michael Gelb’s remarks: “If the young Leonardo were alive today and attending grade school, he would probably be on medication.”
Of course he would, with notes like this one scribbled (in reverse) on his examination papers:
Why is the sky blue? I say that the azure that the air  makes us see is not its proper color, but this color comes from warm, damp air, evaporated into minuscule and imperceptible particles, which, being struck by the light of the sun, becomes luminous below the obscurity of the mighty darkness which covers them like a lid.
Here is a practice Gelb suggests, to help you strengthen your curiosity muscle:
You can increase your problem-solving skills at work and at home, by honing your question-asking ability. For most people this requires shifting the initial emphasis away from focusing ‘on the right answer’ and toward asking ‘Is this the right question?’ and ‘What are some different ways of looking at this problem?’ Successful problem-solving often requires replacing or reframing the initial question. Questions can be framed in a wide variety of ways, and the ‘framing’ will dramatically influence your ability to find solutions…
Some people like to muse on the philosophical conundrum ‘What is the meaning of life?’ But more practical philosophers ask, ‘How can I make my life meaningful?’
Another golden suggestion to practice curiositá at work, via Gelb  — one that as an entrepreneur or creator you can’t miss:
Consider any product or service you might offer and ask, what if I: shrunk it; enlarged it; made it lighter; made it heavier; changed its shape; reversed it; tightened it; loosened it; added something; subtracted something; interchanged parts; stayed open twenty-four hours; guaranteed it; changed its name; made it recyclable, stronger, weaker, softer, harder, portable, immovable, doubled the price; or paid customers to take it?
The happiest people in the world ask, ‘What if I could find some way to get paid for doing what I love?

2. DIMONSTRATZIONE (INDEPENDENT THINKING) — “A commitment to test knowledge through experience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes.”

Leonardo was a thorough and critical examiner of his own work and he constantly refined his understanding. As he mentioned in his Treatise on Painting:
We know well that mistakes are more easily detected in the works of others than in one’s own. When you are painting you should take a flat mirror and often look at your work within it, and it will then be seen in reverse, and will appear to be by the hand of some other master, and you will be better able to judge of its faults than in any other way.
Leonardo’s notes are written backwards and intended to be read in a mirror.
Some scholars suggest that this was done to protect his privacy, while others argue it is due to the fact that he was left-handed. But either way, c’mon!
(I don’t know about you, but it took me half an hour to decipher this, and I still needed a mirror.)
Leonardo often referred to himself as “uomo senza lettere” (man without letters) and “discepolo della esperienza” (disciple of experience). His practical approach to learning led him to question the authority and dogma of his time and propagate independence of thought as well as learning derived from experience:
No one should imitate the manner of another, for he would then deserve to be called a grandson of nature, not her son. Given the abundance of natural forms, it is important to go straight to nature.
Although he was critical of the academic dogma of this time, he didn’t discard the scholastic tradition. He kept his own library and he taught himself latin at the age of 42, to gain a deeper knowledge of the classics.
He realized that “the greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.”  And that, as Michael Gelb points out,  “One challenges the world view by first challenging one’s view.”
“Learning to think like Leonardo,” Gelb continues, “requires the eye-opening work of questioning our own opinions, assumptions, and beliefs.”
An exercise to help you practice dimonstrazione:
Long-term studies by Dr. Martin Seligman and many others show that the critical determinant of success in business and life is resilience in the face of adversity. Awareness, deep contemplation, and a sense of humor are your best friends in attempting to learn from difficult experiences. You can also, like Leonardo, strengthen your resilience by creating your own affirmations. In your notebook, write out at least one affirmation to inspire you in dealing with each of your greatest challenges.
Gelb goes on to suggest different affirmations intended to change not just the way you think (your state of mind, cognitive understanding) but the way you feel (state of being), for it is only when our mind and feelings are aligned that true transformation can take place.
When you create your affirmations, start with the words, “I Feel” rather than “I Am.” This forces you to not just acknowledge the thought but to internalize it and align it with your emotions.
Example: I feel like I am channeling Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance spirit right this second.

3. SENSAZIONE (REFINE YOUR SENSES) — “The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to clarify experience.”

Saper Vedere (knowing how to see) was one of Leonardo’s mottoes and it defined the whole of his artistic contribution to humanity. He believed that experience was delivered through the senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.
In a sad remark he noted that the average person,
looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odor or fragrance, and talks without thinking.
According to Gelb, “Da Vinci’s sovereignty stemmed from the combination of his open, questioning mind, his reliance on actual experience, and his uncanny visual acuity.”
Here are two exercises among the many options contained in the book, to help you make each of your senses come alive:
And then, get inspired:

4. SFUMATO (EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY) — Literally translated as ‘Going up in Smoke’ — “A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty.

We can’t make use of our full creative potential without the ability to embrace uncertainty. The more illuminated it all becomes, the more we realize the little we know, and like Da Vinci, we accept our fate as eternal students of life. An open, always questioning mind is our creativity’s best ally.
Leonardo’s remarkable ability to welcome sfumato and embrace his paradoxes and ambiguity, prepared the terrain for the extraordinary to be manifested through his life and work, and led the way to inventions and discoveries that were centuries ahead of his time. This openness is even more remarkable if you consider that the medieval average mind preceding Leonardo, did not even contemplate the possibility of doubt.
Da Vinci’s master representation of paradox is without a doubt, the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda). Many consider her as the Western equivalent of the Chinese yin and yang. Sigmund Freud said that she is “the most perfect representations of the contrasts dominating the love-life of the woman,” while many other scholars argue that she is Leonardo’s unconventional and paradoxical self-portrait.
With precise and sophisticated computer modelling techniques, Dr. Lillian Schwartz, author of The Computer Artists Handbook, juxtaposed the Mona Lisa with Da Vinci’s only existent self-portrait, drawn in red chalk in 1518. She observes,
Juxtaposing the images was all that was needed to fuse them: the relative locations of the nose, mouth, chin, eyes and forehead in one precisely matched the other. Merely flipping up the corner of the mouth would produce the mysterious smile.
What makes the Mona Lisa mystery even more intriguing is that although it took Leonardo four years to officially finish her (age 51-55), he kept on adding to it obsessively through the remaining 12 years of his life. Furthermore, he did not hand his work to his patron — Lisa del Gioconda, the official model depicted in it — but he kept it in his possession until his death and brought it along on all his travels.
Perhaps she represented his alter ego, or became a visual representation of his feminine soul.
Here is an exercise that Gelb suggests, to help you embrace ambiguity and trust your gut:

5. ARTE/SCIENZA (ART & SCIENCE, WHOLE-BRAIN THINKING) — “The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination.”

Perhaps one of the most genius aspects of the Da Vincian modus operandi is embracing whole-brain thinking. We have been educated and nurtured by a society that reinforces an illogical separation between our left-brain and right-brain dominant profiles, and often discriminates against the right-hemisphere driven individuals (the “artistic types”), by favoriting the left-hemisphere (the “practical, scientific types”).
But the truth is that we are whole. We have one full brain, not half a brain, and we won’t be able to experience the full capacity and power of our super-computer mind unless we embrace and start using our entire head — and not just the limited half we are more comfortable with or socially defined by.
Who would you be without your other half?
So, was Leonardo a scientist who studied art, or an artist who studied science? Clearly, he was both. His scientific studies of rocks, plants, flight, flowing water, and human anatomy, for example, are expressed in beautiful, evocative, expressive works of art, not dry technical drawings. At the same time, the plans for his paintings and sculptures are exquisitely detailed, painstakingly analytical, and mathematically precise. (Gelb)
Da Vinci proved that the pursuit of art (beauty) and science (truth) were not just compatible but the best way to get a richer, fuller grasp of our complicated existence. As he advised throughout his life:
To make his point into practice, he was ambidextrous and would often switch between his right and left hand while painting, drawing or writing. His embrace and practice of whole-brain thinking led to another gift he left for the modern intellect — the concept of “brainstorming.” Creative thinking as we now know it, did not exist at the time. Thanks, Leo.
Richard Feynman, one of Da Vinci’s most modern embodiments, finds the blind spot in the narrow, one-sided hemisphere supremacy:
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars — mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination – stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern — of which I am a part…
Hello Wholeness! Where have you been all my life? I’m tired of so much cutting.
To practice whole-brain thinking, Gelb suggests a mind-altering exercise that deserves an article of its own. But since you’re a curious and impatient cat, here’s a preview:
Mind Mapping is a whole-brain practice originated in the 1960’s by Tony Buzan and inspired by Da Vinci’s note-taking style. It is intended to restore balance between your two always-fighting hemispheres. You can use it to organize your ideas on any subject: from personal goal setting, to daily planning, problem-solving or any other thought-processing.

Here is how it works:

Instead of generating your ideas by outlining them in order: 1, 2, 3, 4… (rational, left-brain Grinch) and then getting distracted or stuck after #1 and doodling on the side of your notes (artistic, right-brain Grinch), which will considerably slow you down, consider doing it all, at the same time:
It is just plain illogical to try to organize your ideas before you’ve generated them,” says Gelb. “Moreover, outlining and other linear note-making systems exclude your brain’s capacity for color, dimension, synthesis, rhythm, and image…Outlining uses only half your mind and half a mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
Mind-mapping frees you from the constraints of your control-freak left hemisphere and enriches your learning experience by allowing you to design concepts at the full capacity of your full-brain power. It is a method for transcribing the spontaneous, simultaneous ideas, thoughts, impressions, feelings that float harmoniously in the mind, on paper.

7 Quick Steps to Mind Mapping to help you make your own:

1. Begin your mind map with a symbol or a picture (representing your topic) at the center of your page. Starting at the center opens your mind to a full 360 degrees of association. Pictures and symbols are much easier to remember than words and enhance your ability to think creatively about your subject.
2. Write down key words — information-rich ‘nuggets’ of recall and creative association.
3. Connect the key words with lines radiating from your central image. By linking words with lines (‘branches’), you’ll show clearly how one key word relates to another.
4. Print your key words. Printing is easier to read and remember than writing.
5. Print one key word per line. By doing this, you free yourself to discover the maximum number of creative associations for each key word. [It also] enhances your precision and minimizes clutter.
6. Print your key words on the lines and make the length of the word the same as the line it is on. This maximizes clarity of association and encourages economy of space.
7. Use colors, pictures, dimension and codes for greater association and emphasis. Highlight important points and use pictures and images whenever possible [to] stimulate your creative association and enhance your memory.

6. CORPORALITA (MIND-BODY CARE) — “The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.”

It is also a very good plan every now and then to go away and have a little relaxation; for when you come back to the work your judgement will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose the power of judgement. (Da Vinci)
Intelligence is often erroneously associated with physical ineptitude or poor health habits. But most of the greatest geniuses in history — headed by Da Vinci — did not just cultivate their mind but also enjoyed a splendid physique and cared for their body.
Goethe said it best,
Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded.
And, on Da Vinci, the same Goethe:
Handsome and with a splendid physique, he seemed a model for human perfection.
If the previous point advocated whole brain thinking, this one is about whole-body thinking. The mind — mind you — lives inside your body. The blood running through your veins carries nutrients to your brain.
Your brain occupies 3% of your total body weight, yet it consumes more than 30% of your oxygen intake. More aerobic exercise = more oxygen to feed your brilliant brain; and more oxygen = a higher capacity to function, process thought and increase your problem-solving ability. You are one indivisible, whole phenomenon.
Leo got the idea:
Walking, riding, swimming and fencing were the maestro’s preferred forms of regular exercise… A vegetarian and accomplished chef, Da Vinci believed that a thoughtful diet was a key to health and well-being… He believed that we should accept personal responsibility for our health and well-being. He recognized the effect of attitudes and emotions on physiology… and counseled independence from doctors and medicines. His philosophy of medicine was holistic. He viewed sickness as ‘the discord of the elements infused into the living body’ and viewed healing as ‘the restoration of discordant elements.’ (Gelb)
500 years before the Wellness Revolution of our day, Da Vinci offered the following timeless pieces of advice on holistic health and healthy living:
To keep in health these rules are wise:
One of the exercises proposed by Michel Gelb I found especially valuable to asses your body and embrace your vulnerability, was the Mirror “Test:”

7. CONNESSIONE (INTERCONNECTEDNESS) — “A recognition and appreciation for the connectedness of all things and phenomena. Systems thinking.”

Whole is the new black. It’s always been the black, but we got severed from ourselves along the way. Fragmentation and specialization have cut our Renaissance heart into little pieces and split our inherent multiplicity.
In this reductionist Matrix, we’ve been trained to pay more attention to the immediate and particular, the pixel rather than the whole picture, and we often forget that nothing (no man) is an island, but everything and everyone is interconnected beyond our limited perception and domesticated logic.
Five centuries before our modern butterfly flapping its wings in Tokio, and causing a hurricane on the other side of the world, Leonardo observed, “The earth is moved from its position by the weight of a tiny bird resting upon it.”
Da Vinci’s sense of wholeness and interconnectedness could not be less relevant and urgent to adopt, had he lived today.
A mind-blowing comparison made by Gelb:
Foreshadowing by five hundred years physicist David Bohm‘s theory of the holographic universe (which posits that the ‘genetic code’ of the universe is held in every atom just as a strand of DNA holds the entire genetic code of an individual), Leonardo wrote,
‘Every body placed in the luminous air spreads out in circles and fills the surrounding space with infinite likeness of itself and appears all in all and all in every part.’ He added, ‘This is the real miracle, that all shapes, all colors, all images of every part of the universe are concentrated in a single point.'”
Bohm’s thesis includes the concept of an ‘implicate order’ a ‘deep structure’ of connectedness that links the universe together. In 1980 Bohm wrote, ‘Everything is enfolded into everything.’ Five centuries earlier Leonardo had noted,
‘Everything comes from everything, and everything is made out of everything, and everything returns into everything…’
How do you practice wholeness in your life? Do you ever experience the totality of the universe inside your own veins? Do you hear your heartbeats in the rhythms of nature and the rest of life around you?
William Blake just texted me one of his most quoted stanzas:
To see the world in a grain of sand,
and to see heaven in a wild flower, 
hold infinity in the palm of your hands, 
and eternity in an hour.
A few suggested questions worth asking yourself:
Among several exercises Michael Gelb proposes to help you re-experience wholeness and interconnectedness, is the SMART method — achievement of goals with the end in mind — something that became more obvious to Leonardo toward the end of his life.
Make your goals SMART. 
S — Specific: Define exactly what you want to accomplish, in detail.
M — Measurable: Decide how you will measure your progress and, most important, how you will know that you have achieved your goal.
A — Accountability: Make a full commitment to be personally responsible for achieving your goal.
R — Realistic and Relevant: Set goals that are ambitious but achievable…Check that your goals are relevant to your overall sense of purpose and values.
T — Time Line: Create a clear time line for the achievement of your goals.

Finally, if you don’t believe you can think and feel and live like Leonardo da Vinci yet, the 7-day exercise detailed at the end of the book — guiding you into creating a Master Mind Map of Your Life in a week — will convince you.
Artist biographer Giorgio Vasari (Lives of the Artists) recalls that in his final days, Leonardo apologized to “God and man for leaving so much undone.” But he also claims to have said: “I shall continue,” and “I never tired of being useful.”
A true revolutionary in thought and action, the Maestro could not be content with one-thing, when his soul called out for every-thing.
But wholeness goes both ways. If you attempt and demand it all from life, you also have to offer it your all. Leonardo understood that the way you do one thing is the way you do anything. So he became a master of himself and this translated into the masterpiece that was his life.
In Michael Gelb’s words,
One of Leonardo da Vinci’s favorite images was the rippling, repeating circles of water emanating from the point where a stone is dropped into a pond or a lake. I see Leonardo’s own life as a gem tossed into the pool of time that became known as the Renaissance, with his genius rippling on and on into eternity.”

Are we the ripples?

Jumping Timelines

Timeline jumping refers to the shifting of awareness from one series of possibilities to another. If you are in one timeline and you do not like how things are unfolding, then you can move to another timeline in which your dreams are more attainable. That’s because life makes use of all possibilities. Simply put, every version of events plays out. The options you didn’t choose in this timeline are being explored in others. The eternal, formless, limitless Being that is your soul knows no Earthly bounds. Your spiritual self is highly adept at the art of multilocation. That means you exist in multiple timelines simultaneously.

For the linear, sequential brain, this concept can be overwhelming. Your soul, however, exists outside space and time. Your expanded consciousness can see all possibilities in all directions of time.

What purpose does this serve?

Your eternal soul requires novelty, along with opportunities to learn and create. The restrictive nature of linear timelines presents a wonderful challenge. Truth is time is artificial. All things happen simultaneously. We simply choose in 3-D to experience them in a linear, sequential fashion. It’s like wandering blindfolded through a maze.
As our 3-D experiment is winding down, our awareness is awakening to the existence of parallel, concurrent creations. The people who are wandering blindly through the maze of life are soon going to be able to see. That will help us to solve the puzzle faster and to move on to other dimensions of creation. Part of our awakening process is remembering how to access parallel timelines.

Examples of Timeline Jumping

You can see this happening in interpersonal connections as well as on the world stage.
Have you ever had an upsetting disagreement with someone, only to have the conversation mysteriously shift in your favor mid conversation? Chances are you shifted timelines in order to reach an agreement.

Do you find your version of past events differ, sometimes radically, from your friends or significant other? We often chalk up these discrepancies to having a faulty memory, but again, it may be that you are recalling events from a different timeline.
We also shift timelines en masse, thanks to collective consciousness. Just look at forecasted world events that did not manifest.
 When we are passionate about changing something, for better or worse, we flip into a parallel, but different, timeline. The greater the desire and the need for change, the bigger the leap.
For those of you who are old enough to get the reference, it’s like a scratched record. When the turntable needle hits the scratch, it jumps out of its groove. The larger the scratch, the more the needle will skip.
The advantages to this spiritual practice are obvious.

Manifestation Simplified

If you’re like most people, you have probably struggled to master the art of manifestation. Now, instead of creating your goal from scratch, you can align with a timeline in which your goal is fully manifested. This takes far less time, effort and energy.

Gone is the need to petition higher vibrational beings for help. The power has been in our hands all along. Thanks to the thinning veil, we are beginning to reincorporate many of our forgotten abilities.

This is Nothing New

Did you know that you’ve been jumping timelines all along? The only difference is that we are steadily becoming more conscious of the truth. That means that you can do this. The only thing you need to learn is to jump timelines whenever you wish.

How to (Consciously) Jump Timelines

  • The first step is to own your power. You must consciously reclaim this ability to jump timelines by recognizing that it is indeed possible.
  • The next step is to recognize that everything is made of energy. That energy has a signature vibration. Your thoughts, feelings, words, actions and creations must all match your desire in frequency. Every part of you must be focused on your intent.
  • As your vibration changes, you will automatically shift timelines.
  • If you like what you experience in the new timeline, hold your vibration by continuing to feel the emotions which aligned you with your desires.
  • To change timelines, change your thoughts, words, feelings and actions to align with your new goal.
It will probably take more than a few attempts to get it right, but once you experience success, you will be motivated to try again. Eventually, this practice will become second-nature.
Happy jumping!

A Practical Guide To Manifesting Using the Akashics

By Teri at www.akashicreading.com

Most people learn to manifest a bit like an athlete preparing for competition. They use their mind to envision exactly what needs to happen, what the end result should be, and what their life will be like after it's happened. They engage their will power to keep those thoughts present and avoid any thoughts to the contrary as well as wrangling their emotions away from doubt and into positive affirmations and assent. All of which swings the odds of success in their favor. It's not a guarantee but it removes all the barriers which are within the control of the individual whether athlete or manifestor. Conscious effort and actions try to narrow down external negative factors and smooth the way for success. Then it's a matter of showing up and doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done. If things don't work out then it’s back to the drawing board. In corporate terms there’s a need to do a postmortem to see what went wrong and what can be done differently the next time to get the right result. Wash - Rinse - Repeat.

This is a valid method of manifesting and some people have a great deal of success with it, however most people get very frustrated because it's efficacy is spotty at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and often there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. They do everything right and still get no, marginal, or disastrous results.

Often the reason is because this model of manifesting is mechanical. It sees the external world, all other beings, all other involved parties, as static objects or materials to be used or manipulated into compliance. It's as if the person was on a deserted island where they are the only conscious actor and everything is at their disposal. Reality is quite a bit more interconnected and interactive than that and so manifestation needs not only to take into account everyone and everything involved with a project, but also the fact the project is entering into a symphony of manifestation already in progress.

A more integrated approach to manifesting is what I like to call the surfing method. Like the athletic model, a person needs to decide what it is they wish to manifest, envision exactly what needs to happen, what the end result should be, and what their life will be like after it's happened. However, once they have clarity on these things, they need to move their awareness to the world around them. In order to surf the surfer must first be near an ocean or surfable river system. If they aren't then attempting to surf will be a waste of effort unless frustration and/or comedy are your goal.  One of the initial steps in manifesting is making sure you have access to the resources you need to get the job done. Then the weather needs to cooperate. If the waves are too flat then you can be on the board but it will go nowhere without being paddled. If the waves are too large then it can be dangerous or even deadly to attempt surfing them. If on a river the water flow must be enough to create the right current and rapids so trying to surf during a drought or a frozen winter would be contraindicated.

The surfing model of manifesting requires we be aware not only of our desires and our efforts, but the world around us. This makes things both easier and more complicated, but improves the success rate of any given manifestation project exponentially. Once we are in the right place, have clarity in our thoughts and purpose, and the conditions are right for us to go ahead, then and only then does it make sense to exert ourselves spiritually/energetically/physically to manifest our project. When we do, like surfing, we will not only achieve our goals but be supported and propelled by the world in a ride which is both delicious and exhilarating. And once we've arrived we'll be ready to turn right around and start over again.

The Akashics can be a key component for helping sort out not only what we really want and what would work best to achieve it, but all of the external factors involved so we can determine when and where is the best way to start manifesting.  We can then use the Akashics to aid us in the physical manifestation, turning Akashic energy into the surf board we use to get up on the waves.

The First Step is to get clarity on all the moving parts necessary to manifest your goal. This can be daunting if you don't know what all might be involved or if you know in detail and find it all overwhelming. In the Akashics each person has their own personal room. For my students, this is the first room you enter when going into the Akashics for the weekly meditation. In the room there will most always be a table. Usually, although not always, this table will be dining room size with chairs around it. This is the perfect space to work.

To begin, enter into your personal room for the express purpose of working on your manifestation project as if it were a craft or art project. Each aspect of it, whether it be a new job, a new relationship, a move, a car or a house, will be represented in some form on the table. When you arrive, like always, you should first take stock of the room in its entirety. The room is you and reflects who you are in the moment and things which are important for you to know, learn, and become. If you're working with the room quite a bit it's good to just note what has changed, if anything. If you haven't spent time in your room before, take time to explore as facets of it might enlighten you or inform the manifestation process.

Then move to the table and inspect what is there. For some people there will be a myriad of objects for others just a few and still others might have none.  This is not a judgment on the project or the person necessarily but a starting point. For those where the manifestation project was set in motion last year or even years before, then there will be a lot to work with as many decisions have already been made and efforts have already moved things in that direction.  Those with a few objects will find they are starting from a new, vulnerable, raw and empowering place where things are ready to begin but there are also aspects to explore. And those with nothing on the table are faced with the need to enquire as to why and the frustratingly marvelous gift of having to choose each aspect. When there are no right or wrong choices, no mandated direction to go, then each step along the way is a choice. The real challenge is not to let the blank canvas overwhelm you.

The next step is to determine what all of the symbols or pieces mean. Some may be obvious or already known to you. Others might be puzzling. Your personal guide or animal guide can tell you in detail what they mean and why they are there. Personal guides and animal guides work on a "speak when spoken to" rule in your room and take their cues from you. So if you don't expect them to talk they won't. If you expect them to act like a mime they will and if you assume they will speak to you in fortune cookie riddles they are more than willing to do so. However, none of this is necessary. Speak forthrightly with them, be respectful but clear, and assume they will be as well. This then indicates, and even gives them permission, to do so in return.

Once you know what you already have on the table, this is when the fun begins. More than likely, even with a plethora of items, you won't have everything you want or need. As you think of things you want but don't have, your personal guide or animal guide can bring them to the table or you can invite the item to come join you and they will appear. If they aren't what you had imagined or quite what you want, ask your guide why. It may be because you simply weren't specific enough in your request or it might be a clue to other factors which are influencing the situation. Keep going until you have everything there you wish to work with.

Then, before you begin, make sure to ask your guide if there is anything external (weather conditions, ocean, river) which you haven't thought of but which needs to be accounted for.  If there is they'll bring it to the table. You may be surprised at what appears as often we are unaware of external factors influencing the situation. Or they may make suggestions about things you could consider adding or removing before you begin. Sometimes these suggestions are like peers making sure you've considered all the angles and other times they are like the partner in a game trying to give you as many clues as possible to help you find the answer to the question. It's up to you to find it, but they are doing their best to give you every chance.

So now you can begin. Somewhat like a puzzle, all the pieces will fit together. Unlike a puzzle there is more than one way they fit. This is a major component of the manifestation. Like surfing, the pieces and the table are the ocean and the waves. It's up to you to surf them the best way possible to have the best ride possible. So you start moving pieces around. Many will make obvious sense how they fit together and once connected they somewhat lock to become one unit. Others might not. Sometimes, like with Ikea furniture, there is this one piece missing or one piece too many. *sigh*  However, the more pieces which fit together the more the items start forming one cohesive whole. It's like they start to come alive, glowing a bit brighter with each piece that fits into place.

Finally there will be a point at which you just know it's done. Some projects will even give you an audible *click* when the last piece fits into place. The entire thing will look and feel right to you even if it's not pretty or hat you expected or think it "should be". When it is done, this is your roadmap, your template for how to manifest the project.

Within your room should be a place of honor, a coffee table or the mantle over the fireplace, where objects of important are placed. Yours will more than likely be empty at the moment. Move your project there. The act of making it the focus of the room activates it so this energy is now radiating into every area of your life and becomes a primary focus of your spiritual energy.

The Second Step is to set up this project in the real world. Yes, I know, the whole point is for this to manifest in the real world, however, to aid you in doing this it is helpful to have the Akashic energy anchored not only in you, but in your living space. You know, bringing it from your Akashic room to your living room. Like how having a statue of Buddha or Kwan Yin brings the energy of these beings into your space, recreating your project brings the energy, your surf board, into your space.

There are many ways you can do this as there are people or projects. If your project ended up looking like an actual puzzle you can draw the puzzle or make a collage which matches the picture and then draw the puzzle lines on it. Hang it up prominently where it will infuse your space. This should be in a public area, not where you sleep as you want it to become part of your physical life and not just infuse your dreams.

If your project was a vignette designed from various items, then you can recreate the vignette as an altar with a beautiful cloth. You might want to light a candle in front of it each evening or put fresh flowers by it or add items to it to reflect progress. If a significant milestone gets met this should be reflected on the altar with something symbolic like a coin for money earned or debts paid. Let your intuition and the connection with the project be your guide in this. You may wish to simply draw a picture of the project and have it on the refrigerator where you can keep track of it. You can add to it throughout the process or adjust it as things change and become. 

As things progress, check in with your project in your room. You will notice that it shifts and changes as things come into being in the real world or as the situation changes. The project is responding in real time so you might want to take it back to the table and inspect it to get a better insight into how things have changed and if there is anything further you need to do in the moment. These changes should be reflected in your physical representation as well so make updates as necessary.

The Third Step is to carry something with you which embodies and supports the manifestation process. It can be exhausting constantly monitoring our thoughts, feelings, actions and intentions to keep them on track so a manifestation project gets done. We're human beings interacting in a complex world and we have more going on than just one project.

To support us in this part of the process it is helpful to carry something which we have infused with our manifestation project. There many examples of this from mala beads in Buddhism, to misbaha in Islam, rosaries in Catholicism, worry beads from Greek culture and so on. These beads carry our prayers, reminders of who we wish to be and how we wish to live and help us to focus our thoughts and intentions during our daily round.  A more contemporary version is the friendship bracelet. Children represent their relationship to one another through braiding it into a cord which they then wear until the braid breaks. Various cultures use this method in ceremony, braiding cords or ropes together to infuse them with the intention and essence of the ceremony, then knotting them as a means of keeping the working active and present in their lives until the goal is achieved.

On a side note, this is one reason why people in indigenous cultures will unbraid or unbind their hair during healing or ceremonial work. They need to be completely available and unencumbered for the working, but also not take any part of it away from the participants by binding it into themselves too intimately through their hair.

You should choose whatever works best for you and your lifestyle. I tend to use thin cording or string in various shades which represent the factors involved in the work, then braid them together infusing the strand with the energy of the manifestation project. I knot both ends with pretty beads just to make sure the ends are secure then carry or wear the piece as a bracelet.  This way both I and it can be responsive to the moment and yet I can focus on my day.  However, it is just as efficacious to buy or create a bead strand specifically for this purpose. You can charge it up on or near your altar when you're at home and carry it with you throughout the day. If you're guided to use something you already own, that's good too.

Once you have all these things in place, you'll find the project moving forward and you being called to move forward with it. Sea and board, water and wave, you'll be on your way. The going might not be straight forward, but it will definitely be a positive move in the right direction.

Happy New Year,

Teri
