Towards That More Benevolent Life

Over the years people have asked, with the best of intentions, "How can we speed this up." Meaning how can we speed some process, some trend, something up so that a desired benevolent conclusion can take place. And while I understand and appreciate these feelings it's not about speeding it up.

How many times have you tried to rush something - to make something happen and this or that happened and it just didn't turn out right. Or maybe it seemed to turn out right and later you noticed that something was missing and over time things just fell apart.

It's not about speeding up. I know it seems like that. After all when we want something and we get a sense of its presence and we even feel encouraged by something that we notice even for a moment there's a desire isn't there, to build up a head of steam and move towards it in whatever way feels best in the moment but you see it's very much like attempting to produce something when all the ingredients are not in place yet and perhaps not even all the chefs needed to produce that perfect meal or any other metaphor you'd care to substitute here.

I'm here to suggest that it is important to allow the pace, which is inexorably moving forward, to remain slowww. A slow pace means that everyone and everything is moving towards that goal with no one and nothing being left behind.

This pace of moving all the occupants of this planet towards a more benevolent life, that we all experience on a full-time basis when we're not here in Earth school and we're in our soul selves in other lives in other places, cannot be stopped.

It's just like...you can't stop the orbit of a planet going around a sun. You can't stop what is natural. Though you might try to delay it and there are those who are doing that for what ever reasons make sense to them.

I just want to remind you that the reason the pace is as slow as it is, and I agree with you - at times maddeningly slow, is that no one is to be left behind. Of course during this time people will come and go. Babies will be born, old folks will pass over and that's part of the cycle of life as we know and understand it.

There will be things that happen that we will abhor and other things that we'll celebrate. Life goes on, not always to our liking but it does go on.

I'm here to remind you that as slow as it's going, and how much faster we'd all like it to go towards that benevolent place, it must go at the pace that includes all beings.

Towards that end I'm going to suggest a simple living prayer. If you feel up to it you can say it but don't say it if you don't feel it has value. First ask for all the most benevolent energies that are available to you to be all around you and all about you and wait a moment and then say, "I am asking that I be able to live in the moment to be present in my physicality, to have my spirit with me at all times and my soul in attendance and that I am able to enjoy the moment as well as possible and live my life in the most benevolent way that I am able."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Finding That Steadiness Within

I know many of you are concerned about the situation in the Middle East but it's really part of a larger picture isn't it.

There are too many demands on too many people. Some are being expected to give things up that are near and dear. Some are expected to take on more and more and more until the breaking point. Some are simply ignored, others are shunned. This is, to a large degree, happening all over the world in many places and in many circumstances.

Sometimes it doesn't get reported but people in various areas know somethings going on and it amounts to this simple fact - that people are not being allowed to be people. They're not being allowed to be their normal natural selves. They're being discouraged from showing their actual personalities even though their opinions one day might be completely different the next day.

It's being demanded of many people that they be one thing all the time. Partially this is due to the fact that other people who may be making these demands are so overwhelmed themselves that they want to have something external to themselves that is absolutely the same that they can latch onto and say - okay, this is my rock for these shaky times.

We need to find that rock other places. I recommend finding it as something that is literally a rock, a boulder, a mountain. It is something from time immemorial that when people are overwhelmed for this or that reason that they always return to nature.

Find a place wherever you live that you can say - this is the land of Mother Earth and stand there if you can or look at it trying to keep as little that is man-made between your eyes - meaning your point of where you are standing yes, your point of view - and what it is you are looking at that you can say, "This is Earth" and nothing else.

You don't have to consider it scientifically, just look at it as something that is real. That rock and that natural thing.

If you are out on the land, perhaps you're able to drive out or someone takes you there, that is even better but if you are someplace where you cannot go past that point then look at the land. If you can't see the land then as a last resort it is perfectly alright to look at the sky, at the clouds. That's part of Mother Earth too.

Say, "This is real. I can depend upon it and if I am ever at a loss to find that rock within myself I will look at some part of Mother Earth and know that this I can count on. It will be there and I can believe in that."

I'm not saying to give up your religion, your belief in Creator in what ever way you have but as human beings we need something physical - something we can count on. Something yes, that we can touch because our beliefs no matter how dear to us are not always physical are they.

They are thoughts we may hold dear to ourselves - spirit yes, we love and cherish and yet we do need that physical contact with something that we know is there and that we can count on to be there.

Towards that end when those moments of overwhelm come up or when the opportunity to be in contact with Mother Earth or look at Mother Earth is presented lets remember to say this simple Living Prayer, first asking for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around you and all about you.

Then say, "I am asking that all within me that is in tumult be calmed by the physical presence and eternal physicality of Mother Earth and that my status as an Earth Person makes this a part of my being that I know I can count on and that I can release my friends, family, loved ones and those I admire from being this rock for me - that I will be my own rock united with Mother Earth to keep me steady and to remind me who I am, that I am of value and that Creator supports my existence with Mother Earth and eternity."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Acknowledgment

I've been talking for some time now on this site and on several of my others about Living Prayer, Benevolent Magic, True Magic and other forms of requests and interactions with all life.

Remember when what you have asked for, for yourself or for friends or family or for people in general or others, when these requests are even partially fulfilled and especially if it is noticeably so - meaning it comes to your attention in one way or another - be sure always to pause when that realization touches you and to say thank you.

Remember who you asked and who it might cover. You might be thanking the tiniest particles or the most massive beings. So make your thank you a heartfelt demonstration of your actual feelings. Wait until you feel thankful and then say - thank you.

You can keep it simple. You can perhaps at times have pictures that come up or simple cognizance of what may be eligible for your thanks. Other times you will simply say your thank-yous to the world of all beings at large - that's alright too.

It's not that you owe anyone anything - it is a matter of politeness not unlike opening a door for someone and them casually saying thank you and going through or having dropped something and someone rushing by stops, picks it up and hands it to you. Of course you say thank you. Sometimes they've already rushed by but you say it anyway. It's a matter of being polite.

It's not necessarily for them, it's an acknowledgment by you about something that is a good experience that you've had and you're acknowledging it to life at large. So this is always good to do when it is something you are thankful for.

I'm not trying to teach manners here, just a simple suggestion and perhaps as you might say - a follow-up. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Swine Flu

I know many of you are concerned about the Swine Flu. This is what I want you to do if you would.

Relax someplace for a moment where you are standing, sitting or laying down and ask for all the most benevolent energies to be all around you and all about you. Then pause for a moment.

Then say, "I am asking that all those beings who are exposed to, experiencing or otherwise interacting with Swine Flu now be insulated and protected from harm in the most benevolent way for them and if I should be exposed to this in any way that I am also insulated and protected from harm."

Stop now and pause for a moment and say, "I am also asking that the organisms responsible for producing this disease and discomfort now reform their existence into something more benign and benevolent for all beings."

Pause for a moment and then say, "I am asking that all these things I have asked for just now happen in the most benevolent way."

That's what I suggest. Remember if you feel energy come up at any time let it be there and pause in the words you are saying because that's the energy going to work - the beings, the benevolent light beings, guides, angels - yes perhaps Creator - and just pause even if it happens before you begin saying the words or after you have stopped saying them.

Just pause and allow the energy to be present. Don't send it anywhere, don't ask for it to go someplace, don't push it anywhere. Recognize that you are the transmitter as a physical Earth human and its passing through you so as to co-ordinate with the being type that you are so that the energy focusses on assisting that being type and of course will also help other beings.

Goodlife.

Mother Nature is Prepared to Help You

Some of you have been wondering how to handle the extremes of day to day life. Sometimes you're put into a position where you know you're supposed to express happiness, perhaps at this or that social event, and other times you know you're supposed to express seriousness and you don't always feel serious.

In this day and age so much is expected of the individual that we were not trained for. Times are changing but people at their core remain essentially the same.

So I'm going to suggest a couple of things. One - when you feel that you've just had too much and can't take it anymore, find a big tree - alright? It has to be a tree that's really quite old and sturdy, been there for a while kind of tree you know, not a young tree or if there's not a lot of trees where you are there might be a mountain or something close to a mountain - okay - as long as it's not man-made and part of nature - okay?

Then this is what to do. Just go out or get as close as you can to that tree or that mountain and look at a portion of it where as far as you know there's nothing man-made.

So if it's a tree but there's wires nearby look at some part of the tree where there are no wires but don't go up and touch the tree. Same thing about the mountain. If you know there's houses on it don't go and stare at that part. I've brought this up before but I need to bring it up again. And just, while you're looking at it, take 10 deep breaths slowly not quickly and just exhale naturally.

I've used this before when I've spoken about the sun in order to give you energy but I'm bringing this up now because the social demands of life sometimes either catch us unawares or put us into a position that's awkward for us and we just need some extra energy or something to calm us.

Of course you can't rush out to your tree very often when these social instances take place but here's what you can do. Once you've had that experience once or twice with the tree or the mountain you can close your eyes for about 30 seconds - you see - and during that 30 seconds even if you're in a crowded place where you're safe alright - an office, something like that, just turn away from everybody.

It's alright if you're facing your computer or whatever you need to face and if you can close your eyes for a moment - that 30 seconds or so - imagine that tree and try to remember exactly where you were standing and how you were standing. Remembering that situation as best you can breathe in and out again. Not deep breaths where you are puffing. Just remember how you did it before and be conscious of your breath in and out.

If it was to get extra strength such as looking at the sun or if it was to become calmer and more grounded such as looking at the tree or the mountain then this will help.

So you see very often, as I've said before, one thing is built on another and one thing leads to another. Goodlife.

Worry and the Present Moment and More

I'd like to share something with you that I wrote to a friend of mine in Europe. This is a portion of an email that covered topics about worry, inspiration and other:


I want to share something with you that I received as an inspiration. Did you know, perhaps you do, that it is possible to hear from portions of your body combined with other beings which gives you a more personal and intimate encounter with yourself. Here for example is a quote from my heart that I needed some time ago that is apropos to your email, "The best thing for me is to remain in the present moment where I will almost always feel safe and if I don't I can feel the warmth and enjoy what I have now." This of course refers to my worrying about something that I don't even remember now.

You are right my friend that when our minds are attempting to serve us, that in association with a issue that we may not even be able to resolve because perhaps it has to do with others or events that may simply be happening around us you know, just sort of worrying in the background that our mind will engage with worry that our mind apparently feels - no doubt we were conditioned to feel this way by the adults that raised us or others - our mind will worry as a substitute for analyzing and solving. You understand this.

So what I have been doing over the past day or so is to make the effort to stay in the present moment. There's something I do to accomplish that. It's not quite physical but it has a physical counterpart. I will reach around with one or both of my hands and contact a space that's in front of the center of my heart area - by this I mean the center of my chest.

I just sort of reach around and touch my auric field with both my hands or just my right hand or just my left hand. This brings me into the present moment as my auric field is strong there.

An alternative version is to very gently use your fingertips of either your left or right hand and touch that same region in the center of your chest and this immediately brings me into the present moment and when this occurs for me I notice that all worrying stops.

I am hopeful this will help for you my friend as it has helped me. The nice thing about it, as you said that you noticed that you were doing this, is that when you notice it (worrying) you can immediately do that even if you're doing something else. If you're riding on the train or on the bus or if you are even driving it may be possible to do that without even glancing down because you can do it by feel and your driving skills and observation may even be heightened because you will be giving your full attention to what is happening in the present moment.


Now I'd like to add a little more for you:

Now about hearing from portions of your body. Start small - meaning don't necessarily go to your heart. Try your left or your right hand and if you're using your hands then just one or the other.

Move your hand around, touch the fingers together and so on and look at your hand. Don't ask your hand a question or anything like that but ask in this way.

First ask for all the most benevolent energies to be all around and about you to assist you in this communication process. Wait a moment and then say the following, "I am asking that all those spirit beings, guides and others that help me and assist me and guide me that they help me now to receive a word or two that will steer me towards an understanding of what my hand wants me to know."

Wait a moment. You might get a word or two. If you don't get a word right off - don't assume - wait. It might come through just after a dream or it might come through just before sleep. Don't assume that it's accurate right away - write it down and follow this same process 3 or 4 times a week for the next 2 weeks. Then look at all the words you've acquired for that portion of your body and see which one feels the best.

For those of you who feel warmth you will notice that the warmth comes up to a degree for one or more words, these are the words to pay most attention to. Then if this works for you and you are able to take in the fact that portions of your body can speak to you, once you have engaged further with the statements from your hand you can if you wish proceed with the next hand or leg and in time but not immediately work towards inner portions of yourself. The most important being your lungs or your heart.

That's what I recommend for now. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Your Feelings Wish To Speak

I've been talking about feelings here on this blog and on my others for a long time now and I'm sure you notice that feelings are up and things that might not have otherwise affected you so much in the past now seem very pronounced and your feelings come up strongly. This is meant, I believe, to guide us towards living more instinctually which I have discussed here and on some of my other blogs extensively.

I want to give you something short that I recommend you do for yourself, your friends, your family and your community. It's a living prayer and I feel that it's something significant to do now.

First of all as always I recommend that you ask for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around and about you and then wait for a moment or two until you can feel the energy or you feel a greater sense of relaxation.

Then say out loud as always, "I am asking that all those I know including myself and in the greater community here and beyond be able to experience and demonstrate their feelings now in the most benevolent way for them and have those feelings received and acknowledged by others benevolently as well."

It is a time now that our feeling selves, our feeling body if you would, must express itself. I believe that the suppression of feelings has caused a great deal of mischief and even harm in the past even though many times those who taught to suppress feelings had the best intentions. Still now I feel that our feeling bodies wish to speak, so to speak, and I believe that ultimately this will be a good thing. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Creating Clearly

Have you noticed? We are being challenged by something right now. You may be considering, at any given moment, something good. Perhaps making plans, perhaps in the process of something and then all of a sudden comes a stray thought after which you'll identify it as a fear and your body will get a kind of sad or depressed feeling.

At that moment you must make an effort to refocus yourself in the thing that you were doing initially especially if it's benevolent so that you can recapture that feeling.

Right now we're all being tested on how well we can create and in order to create well for ourselves and others we must remain, to the best of our ability, focused in a benevolent plane for ourselves and for others.

We don't have to think about it so much but rather it's a feeling. So assume, it's really important now to assume that feeling. This means to take it in, to feel it, to familiarize yourself with the feeling in your body.

To that end I'm going to recommend this. Bring yourself to that feeling. Find a way that you would be feeling benevolent about something. Think about something that you've experienced that felt wonderful to you or think about something that would feel wonderful to you so that you can get that good feeling in your body - and then just stay in that feeling or go into that feeling and see if you can feel it more in your body. That's your homework.

It's important to do this so that you will be able to more easily identify when those other feelings come up that have to do with fears or worries about something that could happen - maybe something that did happen some other time - so that you can have the energy of benevolence, that good feeling, that you might be able to more easily create and have those benevolent results and outcomes.

I'm not trying to test you. I'm trying to encourage you to practice this thing. It's not complicated and I have complete faith in your ability to do it.

Goodlife.

Being More Of Yourself

Where in the world can you find a state of being that will help you to feel more of yourself within and externally as you demonstrate your personality to others and at the same time to feel safe to show it.

I'll tell you where. It's important for you to have a sense of yourself. This is hard to find sometimes.

The older you get the more you're conditioned and experiencing the consequences and effects of all your exposure to this and that or this or that person but in the center of the Earth there's a great deal of reserve of everyone's heart energy.

So if you can, to do this, sit on the ground outside. If you can't sit right on the ground than sit on a low slung chair so you can reach down with your hands. Don't touch the ground with the palm of your hands or your fingertips.

Rather just let your arms hang down either side of the chair and relax your fingers so they're curled a bit and touch the backs of your fingers to the ground.

Then extend yourself - meaning allow your energy, your awareness - alright - of your physical self to flow down your shoulders into your elbows and into your fingertips and then straight on down into the ground. Try it through both arms.

If one doesn't feel good then pull the energy back up both and lift up the hand that didn't feel good doing that. Leave the other hand down there or put the other hand back down there and extend your energy. Stay in your body but extend your energy into the ground so that you get to a point where you have a good feeling. It may not be all the way to the center of the Earth, it may just be a short way.

You'll probably get that feeling in your solar plexus. It may be warm, it may just be a good feeling. When you get that feeling - wait until the feeling fades - alright. When the feeling fades then remove your hand from the ground and relax for a moment.

After you've relaxed for a moment, which could be anywhere up to a minute or two, then you can get up and go on about your life.

You can do this up to 3 times and there is no great timing involved. If you do it one day don't do it until the next day or you can do it a week later or a month later or a year later but it won't have the same effect if you do it 2 or 3 times the same day - alright.

After you've done that at least once and you get a quiet moment sometime then say this - first asking for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around and about you and pausing for just a few seconds.

Then say, "I am asking that I have all the portions of my personality that I need now to express myself as myself in the world in which I'm living which will result in the most benevolent outcome..." pause for a moment "...for all beings."

That's what I recommend now. I hope it helps you. Goodlife.

More On Acquiring What You Need

Now I want to give you a little reminder. I know that you know this but reminders are important when there are so many tensions and nerves are frayed.

So...remember what you need is best to be asked for directly. Of course we all want to have more money, more income, more reliable support - this is natural. We also need certain things don't we.

Sometimes these needs won't wait - it's pressing. It's important though to generalize these requests in some ways and to be specific in other ways - meaning if you need a more reliable car to not be asking for a new car.

Remember that when it comes to Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer or True Magic what words you use are taken absolutely literally. Therefore if you ask for a new car it might be a long time coming to get a brand new car but if you ask simply to have a better car, one that's reliable and that you can count on, that might come much quicker.

I'm picking cars even though that's not the most frequent need. After all we need to eat, we need to have a good place to sleep that's safe and comfortable. Pick any of these or other things that you need and I'm going to give you a True Magic for that today but first I want to give you a basic request to ask for something.

You might say, "I am asking that I now receive..." then fill in what you need "...in the safest and most benevolent way for me now and that my use of this will result in the most benevolent outcome for me."

It's important to add that last part because sometimes we might request something that we consciously or unconsciously feel is not the best thing for us or others so we add that last part in case it turns out that having that thing would not be as good as we think. It's important so I'm adding it.

Now the True Magic is simple - okay? Remember to find that best place* for you. When you are at that place for yourself again find the spot on the land that's just right, just comfortable for you.

Stand and face the north and first before you do anything just with your arms at your sides fully relaxed... (if you have a hat on that's okay, you don't have to take it off. If you're in cold country it's alright to have on whatever you need to stay warm.) ...first say, "I am asking that the provisions I am asking for now will be delivered to me in the most benevolent way for me."

Wait for a moment after you say that. You might feel some energy or some warmth within. If you're feeling that wait until it passes because this is part of the manna used to receive and to acquire and to be assisted.

When it passes then make one complete rotation to the left - alright - and stop (end up) facing north. Then raise your arms straight up over your head and have your palms facing forward. Then move your wrists so that your palms are facing each other and move them slowly towards the center over your head so that your palms touch very lightly.

If you must wear gloves or mittens that's alright but try to make sure that they are not made of rubber or plastic - that's not the best way.

Then you may slowly bring your arms back down to the sides of your body with your hands first moving back out to that position they were in before they were over your head, then moving your arms back down slowly to the sides of your body so that your palms are facing the sides of your body.

Make one more complete rotation to the left - end up facing north. Pause for a moment. Then ask for what you need.

Simply say, "I request that..." then fill in what you need "...come to me now in the most benevolent way for me and that my use of..." and then fill that in "...be benevolent for me and for all beings." Pause for a moment. Again if you feel the energy let it be there - if you feel the warmth let it be there and wait until it completely fades even if it takes a long time. It probably won't take more than a few minutes at most.

After that happens look down at the ground. Then look up towards the sky. If the sun is shining brightly you can close your eyes when you look up. Then look down at the ground again and wait for about a minute - your best guess.

Then take 3 side steps to the left. Make a quarter rotation to the left and take 6 side steps to the left looking down paying attention where you're going. Pause for a moment. Then take 3 more side steps to the left in the same direction you were going. Then turn to the left so that you end up facing whatever direction you need to go to leave. Then you may leave and get on with your life.

This is what I recommend. Goodlife to you all.

---------------------------------------------------
*Know that as a general rule of thumb, as people say, it's important to care about that which you are performing true magic for. This way you do not have any inner conflicts or feelings in conflict in your body with that which you are attempting to do. This could not only cause you to feel uncomfortable but it would generally impact the true magic so much that it may not do any good.

This is what I recommend. Go outside if you can and as always try not to wear shoes that are insulating you - keeping your energy, you understand, from moving into the ground. If you need to wear shoes try to wear something that is made of a natural fiber - even leather, that's fine but not plastic or rubber - not an insulating material.

Then go out on the land someplace. And remember - always to go someplace where you feel safe including your own backyard if that is a place to feel safe but if you go out in the country or someplace else always do these things someplace where you have permission - that's important - so that you can feel safe and so that those who may have some claim to the land upon which you are standing will be comfortable with your presence.

It's always good to do true magic in a place where there is no conflict - outer or inner. This way it is more likely to work in the most benevolent way. You can of course wear insulating shoes to get there if you have to drive there or have to go in a vehicle of some sort but once you get there put on non-insulating shoes or go barefoot if you feel comfortable there and then stand out on the land.

Support During The New Moon Cycle

Originally uploaded by kimbar

This is for some of you who are very sensitive to the cycles of the moon.

At this time of the month that I refer to as the New Moon Cycle which is 3 days before the new moon, the new moon and 3 days after the new moon you may be particularly sensitive.

You might notice that your feelings are a bit more edgy or ragged and this is because you are not receiving your normal nurturing from the moon. The moon does nurture your feminine side and it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman.

Therefore for those of you who are particularly sensitive to moon energy this is a time when you need to have an alternative. This is the best alternative and the simplest one that I have to offer.

I recommend that you go out sometime during the day. It doesn't have to be noon or any specific time but it would be helpful during the New Moon Cycle if you can go out and close your eyes but look towards the sky where the sun is.

Keep your eyes closed so your eyes are not affected. If it is a cloudy day but the sun is bright behind the clouds you can keep your eyes open but if you wish or if the clouds are thin and present sometimes over the sun and not present other times then close your eyes and look at the sun and just breathe in and out normally - 10 breaths ought to do it. If you're a little rushed for time you can take 3 deep breaths and slowly let them out.

Generally speaking this is something that will give you more strength but it will also give you more light. You can do this once a day during the New Moon Cycle and it will help your strength, your balance, to a lesser degree but present your co-ordination - yes - and it will nurture your spirit. That's what I recommend. Goodlife.

Translating Cautions

Something has come up and I want to bring it to your attention.

Recently my publisher has put up another website devoted to my material. It is Benevolent Magic.com and with this series of websites my publisher has put up including Shamanic Secrets.com and Explorer Race.com there are page translations available in various languages and while I appreciate the thought and the consideration behind that there's something that needs to be clarified.

The material of course does not easily and simply translate. This is especially true of the Benevolent Magic wording and of course of the True Magic wording and also with the wording of Living Prayer.

I do not wish to complicate your life in this complicated world for those of you who are following, studying, reading about and putting into practice the things that I've suggested here on Benevolent Magic blog but I do feel that elaboration will be helpful.

So here goes, okay? In order to get the words exactly right in any other language it will be necessary for people who do deep channeling, also known as deep trance channeling, who are either native speakers in their language - meaning born to a culture that speaks that language or someone who is well versed and totally fluent in that language who is also, as I said, a Channel who can study this material I've put out here on the blogs and in the books about Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer and True Magic and then channel in their words and in their language their version to get the words exactly right so that they will work.

I am not trying to say that somehow English is superior for of course that's not so but the words are very precisely chosen not only to help you to bring about what ever the goal is of the moment in the practice but also to keep you from accidentally creating something that might be annoying. It's set up in such a way so that harm cannot be done but when translated by a mechanism, a programed translator that has been carefully put together by those who create such things, nevertheless the nuances, the innuendos and the fine points of any other culture or language would not be included especially when we're talking about magic and prayer.

So I'm bringing this to your attention now on this blog in hopes that you will take that into consideration - those of you who are students of this material and/or practicing it in your own way and adapting it to your own culture and language. Remember that if you do so you must check it out thoroughly to make certain it works and works in the most benevolent way. If you do come up with such material, specifically the wording of the Living Prayer, Benevolent Magic and True Magic in your language, please feel free to share it with those who speak your language.

You can always refer them to these blogs or to the book Benevolent Magic and Living Prayer if you like but the most important thing is to help in your best way with the language you are familiar with and the cultural aspects of your country or society.

Please bring through the words though, when you are channeling without any influence by your own thoughts to the best of your ability. Those of you who can do deep channeling, or also called deep trance channeling, know exactly what I'm talking about.

This may be a bit more difficult in what is known as conscious channeling where ones own thoughts, feelings and matters of importance of the moment may be more influential but with deep trance channeling one can get completely out of the way and allow the spirit you are bringing through - the being or the entity you understand - to speak and bring through as much of their personality as possible through you the Channel.

I've covered a lot of different topics in this post today but I feel it's important to bring out the fine points of the material.

I appreciate very much my publisher making the effort to distribute and disseminate this material to as wide an audience as possible and I also feel that my comments are also relevant. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Helping Those Who Need

Greetings. I'm going to ask your help today. This is a day that is celebrated many places and it's, as you know, Valentines Day.

Nevertheless it is also a day when people remember what they don't have as well as what they do have and most of the things that they remember that they don't have are things that might be good for them like a good and loyal friend or companion or lover.

So...especially for those of you who've been reading and studying these blogs for some time I'd like you to do a little True Magic if you don't mind.

It's not complicated but it will require you to stand up if you are able. Stand up with care if it is a difficulty for you but if you cannot stand up then do what you can sitting down or laying down - that is also acceptable but I'm going to give the instructions for those who can stand.

Now...I'd like you to stand up then and face whatever direction feels the best for you. Then make one complete rotation turning to your left and end up facing that direction that feels the best for you. It might be slightly different than where you started, that's alright as long as you've made at least one complete rotation. If you haven't then make a second rotation and stop where it feels the best for you.

Then say these words, "I am asking that all whose hearts are strained feel love, support and kindness from their environments even if their environments do not seemingly extend those feelings towards them - that all the spirits of love near them exude such energies so that these individuals can feel that love and support and that that energy gives them hope and sustenance to ease their way through life."

After you have said this make one more complete rotation to the left and then you may go on with your life.

Try to remember that on occasions especially any occasion celebrated in your country or culture where many people are happy with something that there are always those who are left out and they may need such support as you can offer in your best physical and magical way. Goodlife.

A Short Delay

Greetings, just a note to let you know that I have not been posting so much here lately because I am working on creating videos for my You Tube site and Explorer Race blog with Conscious Goddess Production now at this time.

I will resume here with some posting soon. Goodlife.

"Oh I Wish I Had..."

I decided to write a tribute to a gentle man who was also an artist, a teacher, a goodhearted person who passed away unexpectedly recently. His name was Steve Panella and someone I met as a fellow blogger.

He was always so very enthusiastic about things. If he was doing something, he was completely doing it. There wasn't any - oh yeah, maybe so. That's one of the things I used to really like about Steve.

I'm bringing it to your attention now because I only recently heard about his passing and I know that many people in the blogging community, especially people I know in that community, were shocked to hear about it.

I'm talking about this today because I want to accentuate how much I appreciate Steve having visited here on Earth for the time that he did - for I feel that we're all actually visiting and we have things to learn - yes, and we have things to teach - absolutely, and after we visit we go on.

This is what I believe and I have experienced a great deal of evidence to support that. I haven't told you this before but sometimes I can hear something briefly from people after they've passed over. I don't do this with everybody, of course, because sometimes it is not appropriate - of course. Usually I do it when I'm trying to help souls who have died suddenly and are a little confused. This sometimes happens at the scene of an accident or something where the person dies essentially instantaneously.

I've been taught how to help them to move on in a gentle and benevolent way. This of course was not the case with Steve but it's how I began to learn that brief encounters with someone who has passed away, almost always with their Guide present, are possible in some cases.

I had this experience with Steve simply because I was checking to see if he was alright. He was with his Guide and they were conversing about his life and I was able to tell that he is, of course, okay.

This probably comes under the heading of - don't put off till tomorrow what you can say to someone today. So - if I had to do it all over would I write to Steve and say, "Hey buddy. I sure did appreciate you while you were here." No, because I could say that to him after he passed over plus our last emails were friendly. He was upbeat and I had no reason to expect that anything would be changed in the future.

Still - it does give one pause to think does it not. How many times have you said, "Oh I wish I had..." or "Oh I could have..." So here's my suggestion, don't beat yourself up about these things.

Rather I'm going to recommend that you do this. First ask for all those most benevolent energies, Guides, Angels and others who support you on a regular basis to be all around and about you energetically and then have a picture or a remembrance in a benevolent way of that person that you wished you had had a chance to say something kind and friendly to and then say this, "I am asking that..." (then fill in the name here) "...know how much I love and appreciate them and that that love goes beyond life here into their soul and immortal spirit in the most benevolent way for them."

Then relax and just let it be. This will help you to feel better. Many of you will have a sense of energy after this that will feel good and I have every reason to believe that this energy will move on to them benevolently, gently and nurturingly. Goodlife my friends.

Sharing Advice To Another With You

A You Tube friend recently asked a question requesting something personal and while I answered it in a way, I wanted to share the theme of the answer with you today.

I explained to him that because of the nature of doing personal sessions for people which is something I have done in the past is exhausting for me now and that I rarely do it as a result these days, that I still wanted to acknowledge the value of his question. It shows interest and also a broader world view.

So what I mentioned to him is that I encouraged him to come to this site and read the blog from the beginning, study it and apply what he could to himself and his life benevolently.

Also I reminded him that this blog is about empowerment - not power over people but self empowerment and intended to help you all to remember who you are in a most benevolent way as your natural selves, your natural spirits and the natures of your being. I believe he will benefit from the message.

I wanted to bring this up to you today however because there is general things that you can recommend to people. Perhaps people sometimes ask you why you are interested in such things if you come here often.

To paraphrase what I said to this young person, who is perhaps going to make a worthy contribution in his life and may have done so already, is that there are things you can do to improve the quality of your life.

One of them I recommend is to go out on the land somewhere and try to stand not on the concrete or pavement but if possible stand on the dirt, grass or soil and make contact with the Earth that way. Ask for all the most benevolent energies to be all around and about you that are available for you.

Pause for a moment and then say, "I am asking that I have the opportunity in my life to perform deeds worthy of the spirit that I am and to have others provide for me as the spirits that they are - each of us to each other in the most benevolent way and that I ask that this happens for all beings in that fashion resulting in the most benevolent outcome."

This is something that you could do if you like. It is also something that you can recommend to others if they are interested in what you are doing. It's a beginning.

I'm not campaigning for you to do it but I thought I would share it with you today since I feel that the future of our country and the future of our world is entirely interdependent - each one of us to the other. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

All One

Do you remember Hide and Seek when we were very young and either you or somebody else was "it?"

My feeling is that so many of today's problems can be traced back before that game but I'm mentioning that game because it symbolizes so much of today's conflicts between people. "They're it." "She's it." "He's it."

Really - you know in these blogs I talk about how we are all one being in various ways and in these times when things are - I feel getting better, though it is not always obvious is it, there is still that prevailing desire to say that "He's it." "No, she's it." "They're it."

We're really going to have to be on our guard not only because we've all been exposed to this or that prejudice, sometimes completely without our knowledge - meaning that it was either so institutionalized or so disguised that we didn't realize what was being said to us but we're also going to have to be alert for it in its subtle forms coming from others who also may not even realize they're being racist or prejudiced in some way.

I don't normally speak to you about these things here because I know it is not my job to blame anyone. Rather it is my job to help all of us - no exceptions - all of us to get to our natural real selves and wake up to the fact that we are one - but I want to ask you for your help today especially those of you who've been reading this blog for a long time to say a living prayer for us all in this world as we go through these times.

I'm going to recommend that you first ask for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around and about you. Pause for a few seconds and then say, "I am asking that all human beings on this planet now will become crystal clear right now that we are all one being, all one family and all one togetherness - that we have much more in common and our differences are only here to make life more interesting in a benevolent way and that this realization will help us to feel more of our true natural heart selves."

After you say that wait for a few moments and remember always, if energy comes through when you are saying it to pause and then complete the words. Remember always when I give Living Prayers here or Benevolent Magic to copy down the words or have a copy of the words and say them exactly as I've written if you can.

I believe it will help. The more of you that do this the better but even one or two of you doing this will help. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Aha

I know I've given you a lot of homework especially on this site and on my other, A Mystical Man's World. I do not expect you to do all this homework all the time but I am going to suggest that you look over the homework, especially those of you who've been reading these blogs from the beginning. If you haven't been doing that then go back to the beginning, look it over and find something you really like.

Practice it and get good at it. What I'm saying is to get good at at least one thing that I've put on this blog or on my other or even any of my other blogs or places where I post and choose one thing and get good at it.

Over time, perhaps in the next year or two, you'll find a way to meet others who read this blog. I do not know how but those of you who want to I'm sure can find a way - and even if it is simply to communicate in some way on the internet then do that if you can.

On this planet there are many ways to bring about greater benevolence. There are also many ways to rediscover who you really are in your full natural native personality which goes beyond this planet and includes your entire being from this universe - all the places you've been, all that you've done and all that you could do.

I have made the effort on these blogs so far to give you homework that would lead to or give you a glimmer of that total being that you are. So most likely whatever it is that you pick will be something that you like or something that comes easier to you and may very well have something to do with who you really are.

I'm recommending that for you now and assure you that I'm not done giving you these reminders, these ways of doing things that will strike a resonant chord in you - and that's the whole purpose you see.

As you do something accomplishing the homework or even a facet of the homework very often you will feel something within you that will remind you of something you can't quite put your finger on but the whole point is to have enough of these chords happen within you so that when you begin to remember who you are you will feel, not overwhelmed by it but just that moment of - aha, that's what all that was about. And that's the intention here.

Goodlife.

Dreams And Visions

Now some of you have begun to have dreams that are otherworldly and this is associated with another world. As Earth and all its beings upon it and within it move towards its more natural place of being and as you as peoples move towards your more natural place of being in a focus that is associated with a different version of Earth thus you will start to have dreams that may seem strange and bizarre.

Odd things happening, things that appear to be symbols rather than realities but sometimes symbols can be realities. There is a great many people who observe and study what the animals do, what the plants do, what Earth's elements do - wind, rain, lightning and so on - what all these things do and what it means.

Sometimes these things cannot be interpreted mentally. Sometimes it takes a little more inspiration even though the mind is used at the very least to compose.

What is happening now is that the wind is connecting the world that we are upon to the world that we will be upon. Oh it will be Earth but it will not be an Earth like we have known in our lifetimes nor that has been known in the past. This is why some of you are having dreams that seem to be very strange.

One of the symbols that is more frequent is that animals who might normally be mortal enemies are no longer enemies and this is showing up in one way or another in various sequences, pictures that you will have left over from your dream. Do not be alarmed and startled, it is a good sign.

It is associated with the reflection that animals dance to illustrate the behavior of human beings. Sometimes animals fight or consume each other - less because they are hungry or less because they have disputes with each other than to demonstrate what human beings are doing.

And when you'd have dreams and visions of animals being at peace with each other and doing things that might remind you of what human beings do to show friendliness, co-operation and happiness together this is almost always a prophetic vision that human beings no matter how long and how difficult their fights together, no matter how much people who might have a stake in things remaining at the stage of battle, that people who have struggled together and been unable to accept each other as they are for any reason will now begin to get along.

They'll find their common ground, they'll bring each other the best of their worlds rather than the worst. I know you feel worried especially about battles in the Middle East where people do feel the cradle of your civilizations continues to rock but be of good cheer.

These dreams and visions you are having brought to you by the wind which unites these two worlds and is the same in our world as well as the other is bringing us good tidings. So don't be alarmed, be of good cheer. There is reason to be this way.

In the coming years when people tell you that these people did this or these people did that, it's just not going to work. When someone says, "Look what they're doing now" you're not going to believe it because you're not going to feel it from those people whoever they are. When someone else says, "Look. Here's the evidence of what they did" you'll shudder and look at it and yet you'll know when you consider those people, when you look at those people, when you are with those people that they could not have done this.

It is important for you to know this now as the times are changing. Right now we're in rapid movement towards a better world. Pay attention to your dreams. Pay attention to Mother Earth's elements and remember - that which looks strange and bizarre from dream world might be a herald of something good. Goodlife.

More On The Lifting Of The Veils

Now comes the time of the lifting of the veils but what is to be revealed? Some terrible disaster? No. Rather it is the continuance of the revealing of your own gifts, talents and abilities.

The whole purpose of the blogs that I've been putting out here for some time is entirely about reminding you of who and what you are. Oh it's true I do not say, "You there George you are this" and "You there Molly you are that." Okay but we all have so many skills and abilities that are just below the surface. We are souls. We are a portion of Creator gifted by Creator with many of Creator's capacities.

It is our job to remember who we really are now and one of the best ways to remember is to do the homework that I've suggested on these blogs of which you'll find from the very beginning or almost the very beginning of every one of the blogs that I have up here especially Benevolent Magic, A Mystical Man's World and many of the others.

If you read the material and you do the homework what happens is that as you discover things that you do, things that you try, the experiences that you have with them...oh you may not get it all right away but as you discover what happens you are reminded not only of who you are now but of what you can be.

I am not saying these blogs are the be all end all of the pathway to discover your inner talents and abilities exclusively here. I am saying however that in order to lift the veils of who you are I have given the homework that you find here because just as much will be discovered by your performing the homework and experiencing even little bits and pieces of success as total success itself.

When you show yourself that you can do something - it's not a trick, nothing like that. These are all bits of homework designed to help you to accomplish good things for yourself and others. I wouldn't be sharing these things with you if I thought in any way that it could be misused. Built into all the things I've shared with you are ways so it cannot be misused - be assured of that.

So don't be afraid when you hear, "Oh meteors are coming. They're going to crash into the Earth and destroy all life." A great many of the things I'm teaching you here will help you to deflect those meteors.

I have not tried to teach you how to move hurricanes so they would not be so destructive if I wasn't trying to encourage you and give you the basic ways - the foundation, the building blocks to deflect in general. The same thing could be said for the tornado work.

Weather patterns on Earth represent the energies, the forces - yes the physics of the universe and it is my intent here to help you to be prepared to act in ways that will benefit all beings including yourself, your friends and your family. So just know that.

Don't be afraid when people say that horrible things are going to happen. The entirety of the material I'm putting out is intended to help you to remember what you can do, who you can be and to understand that we are all truly one. You don't have to do everything all by yourself. Different people will do different things and they will all be helping. I just wanted you to remember this, to know it, to understand it and to appreciate the value of who you are. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Supporting A Speedy Recovery

How to support a speedy recovery economically for the world. There are many ways but I wish to discuss one today. It may seem to be simplistic but I feel it has value.

For one thing I feel it is most important that we let go of the belief that it's natural for people to fight or do battle or take it to war. I don't think this is true.

I believe that people in our greatest need socially are meant to understand, sympathize, be compassionate and act in support of each other.

I believe that we have a connection now, each and every one of us, to each other. We've always had this since we are all a portion of Creator but that awareness has been asleep in us for some time.

I believe it's possible for the world and all portions of the world, not just some parts, to recover rapidly economically yes but I also feel that this can be done in such a way as we don't have to fight about it.

I'm going to remind you of something I brought up in the past called 100 Points of Agreement.

I feel it's important to speak amongst yourselves, wherever you are, and find the things that we agree on. They may be very simple at first: we need to eat, we need to sleep, we need to have friends and so on but then it's also possible to say, "We need to be understood, we need to be appreciated, we need to be valued, we need to be honored." And we enjoy perhaps doing these things for others - yes?

I feel that our global economy is making a shift now that involves us socially not just involves us after the fact - meaning that economics changes and we must follow like sheep. No - I feel that the global economic is changing now and it's changing as if we all mattered which we do.

The global economic will change in the lifetime of many of you who are reading this so much so that it will be entirely supportive of people and even our definition of people will expand to include many non humans that we love and admire. Yes - dogs and cats but also others that we might admire from a distance: butterflies, deer and so on.

This comes about I believe, from the opening of our hearts to ourselves and to each other. I feel that this is happening now and will be known much more so this coming week because spirit, the spirit that supports us all in our being, is encouraging us to wake up a bit more.

Many of you will have an experience over the next few days, if you haven't already had it, where you will suddenly feel like you have to sleep. Don't worry, it's not going to happen while you're driving or doing something that requires your attention but it will happen in an in-between time. If you possibly can - lie down, sleep or lean back in your chair or wherever you are and sleep. For some of you it will just be for a few minutes, for others perhaps a couple of hours.

During this time you will be supported by Creator, by spirit as I often refer to Creator because Creator is a portion of us all and as spirit we are a portion of Creator. Spirit supports us through this awakening in a way that is completely safe for us and safe for others.

We don't have to change our minds, we don't have to change our politics, we don't have to change our thoughts but this change will help to transform us so we will feel safer with our fellow beings and our fellow beings will feel safer with us.

I'll say more about these things in time but there is also a video that supports this and that may also provide some information for those of you who have not seen it.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

A Watershed Year

Many of you, like me, are hearing dire predictions from well intentioned individuals, news services, friends and others about 2009. I feel differently however. I feel 2009 will be a watershed year in the sense that there will be a great many wonderful things that happen.

I believe many of these things will happen inside of us - spiritual things allowing us to awaken to our natural abilities which I've been speaking about on these blogs for some time and also there are other aspects that cause me to have a more positive outlook for 2009. Some of these you might note in the material I've put out from Grandfather on my You Tube site of predictions for 2009 but something happened yesterday which caused me to feel that I am not alone in this belief that 2009 may be a good year - and of course I know many of you believe this as well.

I had a talk with my old friend A.H. We have these chats at various times of the year and usually we have one around the new years time. She is an astrologer and she has informed me that there are many very good aspects supporting this year and that's good to hear. She does not go into these details of the aspects because she knows that I need to stay focused on my own material but briefly mentioned something about Jupiter and I'm sure you can look this up or consult your favorite astrologer.

I have also heard that numerologists feel that this is an 11 year which has to do with spiritual mastery and is also a very good sign.

So I'm feeling very good about this year and I felt that since there were so many voices on TV, in the newspapers and us when we get worried and upset that suggest that 2009 is going to be a year of struggle that I feel differently. I feel 2009 will be a year that we will all recognize either during this year or looking back on it as that watershed year that changed the way we feel about ourselves and each other and as a result life took a turn for the better globally.

I am hopeful that you will discover that this is the case for this coming year. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Our Own Value

Have you ever considered that in order to live our lives on Earth we must actually perform many many tasks for others. Even when we are inside mother we are performing a degree of fulfillment for mother and father and perhaps other family. All throughout our lives we continue to fulfill either expectations or needs of others.

Now needless to say others do this for us as well. However I'm bring this up because at this time of year many of you question your own value. I'm not saying that this doesn't come up as an issue at other times but at this time of year when we are very sensitive to things we have and things we don't have it's very typical to question our own value.

I'd like to say right now that aside from doing what you can to be kind and benevolent with others it's important to remember that we are all united at a deep level and very often we are doing something for someone else that we don't even know about.

So...I'll have more to say about these things in time but I'm just mentioning this now so that you can consider something - a little homework, not complicated.

I'd like you to write down a list. It might take you a day or a week to just notice okay...you can make notes, it doesn't have to be formal - I'm not going to come around and check your papers :-) Write down a list of something you felt you might have done for somebody that day. Something good.

Don't write down things like - I told him off or I put her in her place - not that. Write down things that you feel you might have done for somebody - you open a door for somebody - you don't often think about that or you help somebody carry something and then you forgot about it.

The reason I want you to do this is to remind yourself that you do good things for people.

Alright, that's all for now. Goodlife.

Helping To Resolve Regret

Someone has asked a question: what to do about that vague feeling of regret that you might have. Perhaps you have a quick image and then it's gone and you can't quite remember it.

This is possible because sometimes we imagine that what we regret is worse than it was in its impact on others. Other times we downplay its impact on others and still other times it is only a feeling because we are unable to tap into the pictures or anything else that reminds us of why we have this feeling.

I want to give you something you can do today about that. It is gentle and not demanding but it may be of some comfort.

First, this is something that can be done at night or day - it doesn't make any difference. If it is daytime then try to look towards the sun in the sky, always closing your eyes so that it is safe.

If it is nighttime then look towards the moon in the sky - and you can glance at the moon of course with your eyes open - but regardless of what time of day it is also connect to either the sun or the moon so that you connect to both of them you understand?

And thus you can ask - after you make that connection to the sun and the moon - ask for all the most benevolent energies to be all around and about you to support you that are available for you in that moment. Then pause with your eyes closed trying to picture nothing else than the sun and the moon.

Then say the following words, "I am asking that all I regret in thought and feeling be resolved now in the safest and most benevolent way for all beings and that as that resolution takes place benevolently that these feelings and thoughts fade from my mind and body so I can be reassured that all is well."

That's what I recommend. Goodlife.

My New Christmas Story

Greetings. Just a note to let you know that my new Christmas story is up on my Nice Little Stories blog.

I get asked every year when my new Christmas story will be ready and so I've taken to putting up this notice. I hope you enjoy it.

Goodlife to you all.

Contributing

Have you ever wanted to be able to help in a situation but there was just no way you could do so directly. There's any number of reasons why this might be the case but simply put - if such a situation does develop then this is what to do.

First ask that all the most benevolent energies available for you be all around and about you and then wait. Then if you can, also ask that the most benevolent energy of the sun and the moon also be with you and wait. Some of you might feel some energy during this time but if you don't just wait for about a half a minute or so but don't look at your watch or clock.

After that simply say, "I am asking that..." (then you list the names of the people or as briefly as possible the circumstance - if you don't know the names of the people then just list the circumstance or possibly even a news event) "...receive all the help, love and support they need now from all those beings who can help them in the most benevolent way for them."

Wait because there might be energy that comes through and always remember if at any time when you're going to begin - even before you say a word you feel a lot of energy just wait for that energy to pass. It's probably acting on this living prayer you will be saying and if it comes up during the time you say the words - again wait till it fades and then you can continue to the end.

After that there's another important thing to do and that's just let it go. If there is no way you can help directly you see, this is what you have done. This is what you can do. Let it go and go on with your life. That's just as important because it allows you to have your life and you've still contributed the best you have to offer to the situation. Goodlife.

More On Supporting Benevolent Change

This is a time now when you have the opportunity to incorporate all that you've learned here on these blogs and things you've learned other places and be able to create a movement within your self of your true desires that would be beneficial for all beings.

This is what I recommend. Find someplace out on the land. This is not exactly True Magic but is a blending of other things and when you find that place on the land* create a space for yourself on it and stand there.

Then begin to think and picture of all the changes the world would be in were your most benevolent desires for it fulfilled. Hold those pictures and those thoughts only. Try to focus only on that.

Then while you are standing in any direction that you choose to face to begin with, put your right arm straight down at your side with your palm facing the side of your body and take your left arm and bring it across your chest so that it is horizontal with your chest and turn your left wrist so that your palm is facing outward.

Take a deep breath and hold on to those thoughts and pictures and slowly turn to the left in that position as you move your palm forward in order to make 1 complete rotation slowly blow out that breath. After you've made the complete rotation stop and breathe naturally, take 3 sidesteps to the left and make a one quarter rotation to the left and then take 6 sidesteps to the left and go on with your life.

This is a modified form of True Magic that incorporates motion, breath and illustration within your mind and heart, you see, when you're picturing these things that you feel would be good for all beings to help to create a more benevolent world and a more benevolent society.

That's what I recommend you try. Try to do it some time before the end of the year. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*It's important to care about that which you are performing. This way you do not have any inner conflicts or feelings in conflict in your body with that which you are attempting to do. This could not only cause you to feel uncomfortable but it would generally impact the best outcome of that which you are about to do.

This is what I recommend. Go outside if you can and as always try not to wear shoes that are insulating you - keeping your energy, you understand, from moving into the ground. If you need to wear shoes try to wear something that is made of a natural fiber - even leather, that's fine but not plastic or rubber - not an insulating material.

Then go out on the land someplace. And remember - always to go someplace where you feel safe including your own backyard if that is a place to feel safe but if you go out in the country or someplace else always do these things someplace where you have permission - that's important - so that you can feel safe and so that those who may have some claim to the land upon which you are standing will be comfortable with your presence.

It is good to do this in a place where there is no conflict - outer or inner. This way it is more likely to work in the most benevolent way. You can of course wear insulating shoes to get there if you have to drive there or have to go in a vehicle of some sort but once you get there put on non-insulating shoes or go barefoot if you feel comfortable there and then stand out on the land.

In your lifetime you will find that a great many things will change. Sometimes these changes are welcome. Other times the changes are not so welcome.

I'm sure you know what I mean in both cases but there are other times when the changes that occur are uncertain. At moments you think that this could be a good thing and then at other moments you're not so sure.

I want to give you something brief today that you can use to temper that - meaning to moderate the impact of it so that while it may not be spectacularly good it won't be so terrible either. That's what I mean by tempering it. You will have to be specific so I will leave a gap in this Living Prayer.

If something comes up like that and you're not sure and it might take time to find out whether it's a good thing or a not so good thing then this is what I recommend.

Relax into that benevolent energy or ask for it to be all around and about you. Pause for a moment and then say, "I am asking that these..." (changes or circumstances that I'm going through right now - be specific but use as few words as possible) "...be accommodated into my life now in the most smooth and easy and benevolent way for me resulting in the most benevolent outcome for me."

Now if it's some kind of change that's going on for others you may or may not be able to have an influence but you can try. Do the same thing but change the words that refer to the specific situation and say, "I am asking that all those people or beings who are going through..." (state clearly with as few words as possible what they're going through) "...be able to move through this time of change in the most benevolent way for them resulting in the most benevolent outcome."

I know I've touched on these things before but I felt that given the swirling change moving around our planet and the move towards a greater homogenization of businesses, corporate lives and yes even countries that this might come to be a comfort for you as something else you can do to create as much ease as possible. Goodlife.

Inertia?

Have you noticed the inertia? I have. It's hard isn't it. It feels like - oh there's so much to do but it's so hard to do it and when you make the effort to do at least some of what you have to do, it's so tiring - like you're working uphill.

It will pass. This has happened before and it almost always takes place during a time when we are unconsciously involved in assisting people, places and things all over the world. We hear about some things going on here and there in this part of the world, in that part of the world and we are of course concerned and those of you who have been reading these blogs for a time might be saying living prayers or even benevolent magic or doing other things to help more directly if you can.

And yet it will pass. When these times of inertia happen it is almost always, not every time but almost always associated with our souls and spirits combining together in a greater sense than usual to support and sustain something somewhere involving people and others. It's happened many times and it will pass.

So...a living prayer you can say if you like to support in general. You might say, "I am asking that all those people, places and things that I have been supporting whether I am aware of it or not all receive now the most benevolent help, support and love that is available for them from all those beings who can provide that help, love and support. I am also asking that the sun, the moon, the stars and all beings everywhere help us and support us through these times towards a better life for all beings."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Living Prayer for Transitions

Recently a regular reader of this blog mentioned that he was going through a transition that was particularly strenuous in some ways for him. I'd like to share some of my response to him for you here since you yourself may be experiencing such a transition or shift or change in your life.

Even without such intensity of experience I do recommend that if you are passing through such a time - especially now when the world around us is changing, perhaps in some ways for the better eh, and things are moving and may not be what they have been - then you could if you wished consider the following living prayer as something that might be a comfort.
----------------------------------------------------------

...I recommend you ask for the most benevolent energies available for you now to be all around and about you and then pause. After that I recommend you say, "I am asking that I be able in the most benevolent way for me to move through this time of transition in a way that is benevolent for all beings and that the result of this transition I am passing through result in the most benevolent outcome for me."

This is what I recommend you say now. You only need to say it once so pick your moment and say it when things are as calm and quiet as possible and you can relax into the good feeling that will follow. Goodlife.

A Special Clearing For Halloween

For those of you out there who feel a little bit overwhelmed by Halloween and some of the energies that circulate around that holiday time I'd like to suggest a clearing. I have put types of clearing up here before but this one's a little different.

It is something that you can do that engages with the sky and with the moon. It's not exactly a true magic but it's a form of purification that can be done quickly if needed. I do recommend that it is done however during the daytime ideally when it's clear and the sun is out but if it's cloudy and even rainy you can do it but please do it during the day for the best effect.

I recommend you go out and stand on the land someplace, not on pavement, and preferably without rubber soled shoes or plastic soled shoes. You can use leather soled shoes if you like. Then standing on the land look up towards where the sun would be but close your eyes alright, and glance in that direction. If it's very cloudy you can glance in the direction with your eyes partly open if you choose.

Then close your eyes and look down at the ground and picture the moon, even though the moon would not likely be out you can picture it in your imagination, and then while imagining the moon take a deep breath and blow firmly towards the ground where you are picturing the moon.

Make sure that when you blow you miss your feet and that your breath is not aimed towards anything but the ground and definitely not towards other people or animals. This is only to be done in this fashion if you are able to imagine the moon in your minds eye.

If you are unable to imagine the moon, as some people have a hard time picturing, then you can blow firmly towards the sun with your eyes closed.

This will help to clear some of those energies that are uncomfortable that may be associated with excesses or disagreeable energies from Halloween. Goodlife.

True Magic To Support The Sustenance Of All Beings

I know a great many of you are worried about the economy globally, however I feel that things will smooth out sooner than people expect. It is not my job to be the economist here nor do I claim to be one - I know you don't come here for that. I do recommend however that you consider the following true magic. It is meant to support and sustain but also meant to generate.

You'd be surprised how much magic is involved in maintaining, balancing and sustaining this planet as well as other planets. I'm not talking about slight of hand or "pulling a rabbit out of a hat." I'm talking about something that is real - not "pie in the sky,"...real. It's not my job to convince you, I - know - this - works.

This is what I recommend for now. Find that special place that works for you out on the land.* When you get there this is what to do. When you're standing on your spot face the north, then after about 20 seconds turn and face the west, then again after about 20 seconds (just your best guess) face the south and then after that time face the east - pause 20 seconds and then back to the north.

Then I'd like you to, if it's daytime, close your eyes and look to the sky where the sun is. If it's cloudy and overcast you can keep your eyes open but look generally where the sun may be. Then open your eyes and look down towards the ground in front of your feet. Then turn around a half a turn so you are facing the south. Again glance towards the sky using the same precautions if it's very bright out. Again glance towards the ground. Then turn towards the east and do the same thing again. Then towards the west and do the same thing again. Finish up - turn towards the north.

Then with your arms down at your sides, raise your arms slowly so that you end up having them out in front of you with both your palms up and say the following words. "I am asking that the Sun, the Earth, the directions and all beings support now the most benevolent life, love and sustenance for all beings on this planet forevermore."

Remain in that position for about a minute, just your best guess - what you feel is about a minute. Then return your arms to your sides with your palms facing your legs.

After that take 6 sidesteps to your left. You can look at the ground and make sure you're stepping someplace safe. Then make a quarter of a turn to your left and take 6 more sidesteps to the left. After you do that you can turn - try to turn towards the left even if you have to go right, you might have to make a partial rotation to do that, and go on with your life.

This request is a special prayer blessing as well to encourage the best from all beings and the best that can be given from all beings. This is what I recommend.

Know that the true magic I'm putting out here on this blog and on A Mystical Man's World and occasionally on Explorer Race is designed to train you for more advanced work but this is pretty advanced in its own right. I will give more as long as I am able. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Know that as a general rule of thumb, as people say, it's important to care about that which you are performing true magic for. This way you do not have any inner conflicts or feelings in conflict in your body with that which you are attempting to do. This could not only cause you to feel uncomfortable but it would generally impact the true magic so much that it may not do any good.

This is what I recommend. Go outside if you can and as always try not to wear shoes that are insulating you - keeping your energy, you understand, from moving into the ground. If you need to wear shoes try to wear something that is made of a natural fiber - even leather, that's fine but not plastic or rubber - not an insulating material.

Then go out on the land someplace. And remember - always to go someplace where you feel safe including your own backyard if that is a place to feel safe but if you go out in the country or someplace else always do these things someplace where you have permission - that's important - so that you can feel safe and so that those who may have some claim to the land upon which you are standing will be comfortable with your presence.

It's always good to do true magic in a place where there is no conflict - outer or inner. This way it is more likely to work in the most benevolent way. You can of course wear insulating shoes to get there if you have to drive there or have to go in a vehicle of some sort but once you get there put on non-insulating shoes or go barefoot if you feel comfortable there and then stand out on the land.

Seeing Angels And Guides

Do you know that on our planet angels and guides will take forms that are comfortable to those who, on occasion here, perceive them. You might see someone who looks human but there is a great deal of white and gold light emanating from them almost like they're in a cloud of such light and it seemed to be flowing off of them but they do appear to be in human appearance.

Their actual appearance might simply be as a portion of light but when accommodating the needs of our fellow human beings on this planet they will be seen in the form in which we feel the most comfortable.

On other planets a similar situation occurs when an angel or a guide is needed - it's different you see when they're needed as compared to when they simply visit. When they're needed there's some urgency isn't there. Comforting, help with a transition and so on and then of course they take the form of what the beings look like there on that planet...but there is more.

We are not the only beings on this planet and I have been taught and I believe from my experience that we are all on this planet - all beings - ensouled by Creator which of course one would expect since one cannot imagine eh Creator creating anything that is not a portion of itself...therefore it is ensouled.

When other beings, other than humans, need or require the help of an angel or a guide of course the angel or guide will appear in the form of that being.

So if you should happen - out of the corner of your eye perhaps or more directly - happen to see even a beloved pet, perhaps not you own - maybe someone else's, passing over you will often see a light and light effects and if you are very fortunate you may just see angels and guides of light that look very much like the being who is passing over.

There are certain individuals who, because of the nature of their work or because of who they are, might see these things on a regular basis but nowadays I believe that we will all have the opportunity to see these things. Not because there's going to be so many deaths - not that but rather because our abilities to perceive are becoming stronger and more integrated with our daily lives.

So if you do see these loving light beings who almost always seem to be glowing with light coming off of them that is white and gold and occasionally even a little pink or a little light green then you will know that your abilities, which you naturally have off of this planet in other lives and in other forms, are integrating with you now to remind you that everywhere you go there is love, there is life, angels, guides and beloved teachers.

We, I believe, are being reminded of this continuity more and more these days. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

A Request For Inner Calm And Strength

I know some of you are not feeling safe and secure so here's a short living prayer you can say to support your sense of personal security and inner calm especially.

You know...at times when the world changes, even what simply human beings do and how they do it, it can often feel very unsettled. I can understand this too.

So if you wish - you could first ask for all the most benevolent energies, angels and beings to be all around and about you in the most benevolent way for you. Remember to say this out loud and if there are others nearby you can whisper it if you like but it must be made physically since these requests are about ultimately - our physical experience in our physical world.

After you pause for a moment and perhaps even feel something that feels benevolent or a tingling perhaps then I recommend you say the following living prayer. "I am asking that I have the strength, calm and energy within my heart and body to feel safe and stable during these times of changes of perception and actions by the populations on Earth and that these shifts I am requesting within me will result in the most benevolent outcome for me."

Goodlife.

Lend A Hand Where You Can

Now I know you're all concerned about financial matters. Perhaps your concern is based on a personal situation but since I know a great many of you are compassionate it may also be based upon a broader situation - perhaps the global circumstances.

There are circumstances yes but there are solutions in progress not only by governments and business but by individuals. Still I know you don't come here for that so this is what I have to offer.

For those of you who do true magic and for those of you who have not really felt like you were ready for that but would like to try I'm going to offer some simple true magic today. It does involve standing up. It would be best to do this outdoors but if for any reason you need to do it indoors then simply find a place that is open enough so you are unlikely to bump into anything.

First ask for all those energies that are available for you in the most benevolent way and in ways that will enlighten and support to be all around and about you. Then wait for a moment or two.

Then stand and face the north. Make 1 slow complete rotation and finish up standing facing the north. Raise your arms up, straight up, so that your palms are facing up. Then relax your arms and lower them back down so they are by your sides.

Then say the following. I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those means available for all people and all beings work to support each others needs now in the most benevolent way and I also ask the Sun, the Moon and Earth to co-operate in this in the most benevolent way."

Then look down at your feet on the ground (if you're outside - or if you're inside just look down at your feet). Then look straight ahead.

Then make 1 more slow rotation to the left and stop while you are facing north. Then take 3 steps to the left, sidesteps you understand. Then turn left again and take 5 sidesteps. Then you may go on with your life.

You can see why this is best to be done outdoors so if you have a place to do it outdoors that you will not be disturbed that's the best way. You can if you like bring a friend to keep all well and safe and if you prefer you can do this at night but if you do make sure you bring a light so you can see where you're going.

So that's a more simple true magic you can try if you like to do what you can spiritually for the world situation. You notice in the words I did not actually mention money because money is a medium of exchange but as you know it is not necessarily the most direct medium of exchange. Barter precedes it but even before that people just did things for each other.

So do what you can in the most benevolent way, I have faith in you. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Balance For Mother Earth Leads To Balance For Us, Part 2

How to encourage all peoples to move past such disparity as I referred to in my last post.

It's not about the people with more having less though it looks like that on the surface. Rather it is about the people with less having more and you might reasonably ask how is that possible.

There is only so much to have - and yet I beg to differ. There is so much more to have. Not to grab, to hold and to bind to you but rather to encourage, to welcome and to embrace heartily with all beings.

A second living prayer is called for and then there will be more. I recommend you say, "I am asking that I have the strength and courage now to receive all those things, all those friends, all those capacities I need now to generate and create the most benevolent outcome for all beings."

It's important to say that, first of course always asking for the most benevolent energies to be all around and about you - as always, because in order to have what you may be missing in your life - though you may be confusing who and what it is that you want - to replace that gap of what it is that's missing - in order to do that you will need to be open to receiving that which is available very specifically for you as an individual as well as for all yous as a group on this planet.

We must learn how to welcome, not just welcome to friends and family for we must learn how to feel welcome, how to know when we feel welcome as compared to when we simply feel shy when we are exposed to this or that situation and how to offer true welcome.

I recommend you begin in this way. Find something, or someone in the case of a beloved pet only - dog or cat - something like that - a horse perhaps, that you love very much and that you are reminded of by their reactions to you that they love you.

For those of you who do not have a pet perhaps you have a favorite tree or even a place where you like to go. If it is a place where there are no other peoples then you can use that.

If it is a feeling that you always welcome - not because it is of revenge for that always harms yourself as well as others - but if it is a feeling that is comfortable, happy, safe, calm or benevolent or all of those that's alright too.

Interact with that by going there or being with that in any way you can safely and tell it that you love it if it is a feeling, if it is a place.

If it is a pet then you can say their name. Most likely if you say it and feel it at the same time - it's not enough just to say it. Regardless of what you've been told, the mind is not the ruler of the planet nor is it the supreme being. Feel it first, that love. Then say it, and after you do that - you can whisper if you need to - after you do that feel it more for that love is the path to welcome. After you're feeling that love for a time, a minute or less is fine, then ask to feel welcome with that love. This will help you to prepare to welcome that which you may need to continue this process.

In time I will say more about these things but I'm bringing these reminders to your attention because in troubled times such as these we might react first out of fear rather than use what we know. Practice these things so that you will immediately automatically use what you know rather than adding to the fear energy.

I know you can help and many of you are. I am here just to remind you - no more than that.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
