LOVING YOUR HUMAN EGO INTO THE LIGHT
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

Your human ego knows that once you open your heart and the love of your Mother God is balanced within you, it will no longer be able to control and manipulate you through fear. Your ego knows its reign will be over, and it is terrified.

When the Divine Authority, Will and Power of the Father God and the Divine Love, Adoration and Reverence for Life of the Mother God are brought into perfect balance within you, NOTHING can prevent the opening of your Crown Chakra of Enlightenment and the rebirth of your God Self.

When your God Self reclaims your Earthly vehicles, the only option your ego has is to move into the Light. This is a gift of Divine Grace, but it is beyond your ego's comprehension. Consequently, your ego is doing everything it can to prevent the Mother God from opening your Heart Chakra to full breadth. Your ego will not succeed, however, and as you love it into the Light your life will be transformed.

The world religions and the prophecies of old have all indicated that there will be a time when Humanity will experience a shift of consciousness and deliberately change our course of direction. Even though the terminology varies and the scenarios differ, the end result is the same. The prophecies all proclaim that during this auspicious time, Humanity will stop our self-destructive behavior and join together to co create a life-promoting world of peace and abundance--Heaven on Earth. This is that time! Do not be distracted from your mission by outer world events. You are powerful beyond your knowing, and you can be an effective catalyst to turn the world around.

ASCENDED MASTERS MESSAGES
February 2003

WORDS FROM EL MORYA

The Masters are doing all in their power to talk with and radiate all the world leaders. They are contacting the world leaders, each in a way the world leader can understand. Some of the world leaders (and do not ask who they are) can tangibly speak with him; others tangibly speak with His helpers or deputies; others are influenced by their physical aides or other people who have contact with the Masters or Archangels. The diplomatic channels are very busy; El Morya is trying very hard to (He says He knows They don’t have to “try very hard” but this is your language and we are meeting you where you are), working diligently with every leader of the world to defuse this situation in the Near East diplomatically.

These efforts cannot be seen because it cannot be put in the news because people misunderstand. Humanity right now is very excited and likes to jump up and down to protest almost everything. The diplomatic channels need to be able to operate in a discrete, quiet, you would call it secret manner, in order not to be distracted and have the message distorted until the mission is accomplished. They want you to know that all is being done on all levels to avert a catastrophe, because of the situation in the Near East; more than one, there is a lot going on that is not published and a lot going on that is not known; especially by the public and even by some of the government and diplomatic entities.

COMMUNICATION WITH HORSES
by Catherine Ceci

The most important aspect of training with any animal is to establish trust. I personally do not require my animals to jump through hoops for me - I do not like to be treated that way from people and I do not expect my animals to have to show their affection for me by doing the same. If I find there is an activity they enjoy - that is fine - but they are my friends. I am the leader in the sense of only being the responsible one to take care of them and guide them. But that relationship changes moment by moment. There are times when I trust my animals to take the role of alpha!

I remember when I was a child I had a best friend in a bay gelding who's name happened to be Dan. Most of the time I was in charge of where we went and what we did - if he balked at crossing something - I urged him on through it. But as I grew closer to him I began to understand that there were times when his being in charge was life saving. The time we took a ride up an old dirt road and he balked when I urged him towards an abandoned house. I looked up the road to spot a rather large rattlesnake - as Dan did a spin and tore out in the other direction -I said to him - "Hey get me out of here too!" and off we went. This kind of thing happened more than once and I began to have a better sense of the relationship with my horse. Friendship and understanding each others perceptions and and respect for each other became the foundation for our relationship. What if I had not listened to Dan - what if I had used "tools"- whips, pointers and such - to urge him on?

Recently my new horse, Jazz and I were out deep in the woods riding. We came across a rather deep ditch although the water was not that deep - but the ditch was, and with slippery mud. Jazz balked. I looked around and did not sense or see any danger. Since Jazz and I have spent considerable time in getting to know each other - I felt he was just leery of the unknown. I got off and without looking at him in the eye, took the lead rope and trotted thru the ditch with Jazz following right behind me - he did not hesitate at all. He trust me and he figures if I don't see any danger then - he will go along. So there we stood in the middle of the water - I remounted and we walked around the in the ditch, thru the stream up and over it several times, playing the water - and now it is no longer a problem for him.

Trust, in any relationship takes time, but more than time, it takes honesty! I am always honest with Jazz and I get that back from him in return.

  THE EASTER LILY
by Sananjaleen with Love

L.longiflorum, is described in garden books as a midsummer lily that is forced to bloom early for Easter display. I still remember my excitement that first Spring at finding their fragile, tight little clusters of pointed green leaves pushing up through the old dead leaves. Seldom remembering exactly where I plant things, and never being able to find the maps I draw of where they are, I couldn't imagine what they were, and checked their progress daily!

Eventually, one glorious summer morning, I stepped outside and beheld a stalk full of exquisite creamy white Lilies blooming right outside the kitchen door. 'The Easter Lily for joy and clarity of intent,' rang clearly through my mind. 'The Lily, gentle queen of the summer garden, presents the wonders of Creation with simplistic elegance. In elegance and silent joy, the Lilies reign supreme within their own domain, and would assist their brethren and sisters in light to do the same'.

Easter Lily is one of the Sananda Ascension Essences. Take it any time one could do with a little more joy and clarity of intent! Call for the renewal and resurrection of every cell in your being - for Easter Lily bears the essence of Purity, and resonates with the harmonics of the Resurrection Flame. It is a lovely essence to use in sacred ceremony or at the beginning of any new venture. For Joy and Celebration, new beginnings and elegance in daily living.

A NEW SONG FOR THE NEW AGE
By Andrea Arrowsmith

The music I play is a gift from beyond the human octave that sends out a cosmic call for selfless humanitarian workers. Sound used this way is a gathering note for people to hear inwardly, identify with and base a community on. The power of harmony in the music is the keynote for the foundation of the new age. The New Song of Spirituality is sung from the voice of the Cosmic Christ in tune with the Father Within.

This may sound like what has been said before, but it is not. I am speaking of a complete identification with wholeness of the One. This is identifying oneself as Love of the most High (whatever one thinks that is). I am not speaking of a world wide religion. No. I am speaking of a common ideal for humanity. . . a common goal. . . a common standard of being in which ALL life is considered sacred. With that tone of harmony, everything is automatically done for the good of all. . . in the spirit of service. In this tone, people have the right to freely adhere to their chosen dogmas or national beliefs. Yet, they work together as instruments of service sharing whatever gifts, talents, and resources they have. My music helps to stay centered in this feeling tone during the shift.

I would love to hear from you about your work. Remember. . . You are Lights! May God bless you all. Please visit my web site. Back to T of C.
SURRENDER
By Leiah - Bobbie Bowden

Few people know how to surrender. The words in this journal are shaped into articles whose writers – like me – want to help all of us – ourselves included - find and flow through that gate. The muscle we use for this is not as physical as etheric.

Like all muscles, this one works better with practice. It’s not mental, although you may – as I do – need some words and repeated phrases exhorting you to trust, allow, have faith in and surrender to the love that is the only immutable truth of your being and all being.

So here are some words to help you fall in love with your life again without trying. Go back to the play you got lost in as a young child, the sounds, scents and textures of those moments. The moment when you realize you’ve passed through the sphincter you keep squeezed shut to avoid disappointment and hurt is the one to notice. Notice it. If you have an animal, ask the animal to help you notice the moment.

Go back to fantasies and memories that put you there and feel yourself opening. And opening. The you whom you are in this open place is the you that cannot pollute the stream. You are safe here because that you holds you safe. Your aura expands, becomes brighter, lighter. Your spine straightens and relaxes. Your eyes open wider. This is the way to heaven.

TRADITIONAL MAYAN MEDICINE OF THE CHENES
by Mary Locke

In the majority of homes in the region of the Chenes (situated in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula), medicinal plants continue to be the primary medicine for curing common maladies, because it is known they are effective, economical, and within the reach of all. That is why this is one of the most valuable manifestations of cultural heritage that our ancestors gave us.

In the region of the Chenes the indigenous Mayan people still conserve a great quantity of millennial knowledge of medical practice through:
the use of animal and vegetable species, wild as well as cultivated by herbalists (hierbaberos)

the attention on the part of midwives (parteras) to pregnant women throughout the process of gestation of the fetus through birth

the attention on the part of the bone healers (hueseros) to articulated dislocations caused through accidents, etc.

To disseminate this knowledge, the Center of Development of Mayan Medicine of the Chenes (Centro de Desarrollo de la Medicina Maya de los Chenes) was formed by the Local Council of Indigenous Doctors of the Chenes (Consejo Local de Medicos Indigenas de los Chenes) and is affiliated with El Consejo Nacional de Médicos Indígenas Tradicionales. Although the Centro is fulfilling a great need, its future is in jeopardy. It may close due to lack of funds. To find out how you can help keep this vital center open so that it can continue to offer this knowledge to even more people, contact Miguel Angel Vergara Calleros at miguelangelnazul@yahoo.com

THE ROAD TAKEN
by Debra White Burch

The day had hardly begun, when I was already being bombarded with problems from all directions and I began to question what it was all about. Lately, it had seemed as if everyday brought more problems than the day before. Whether it was the possibility of war, friends and relatives contacting me about loved ones and pets passing on, things breaking unexpectedly and large bills that followed, major issues at the workplace, unusual weather and on and on. I was beginning to feel like a human peg in a toddler's wooden pounding bench - stuck in a hole that was too tight and being pummeled again and again by some unseeable hammer. I was feeling squeezed tighter and tighter with each pounding and was to the point of exploding or screaming.

As I cautiously headed off to work in what was virtually a white-out, due to the endless snow falling, I called upon the Divine to give me some help and insight as to what was going on. The message I received basically said to increase my awareness - just like the snow falling all around and seemingly blocking out all vision - the road - my path - was still there - just as it had always been. I just had to become more focused and with faith, hope and trust - I would be brought to exactly where I was meant to be.

As I listened and recommitted myself, the vision of the human peg disappeared and was replaced by an all encompassing Light and I felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. Peace spread throughout my being. The further along the "road" I traveled - clarity slowly increased and I relaxed and breathed more and not surprisingly, the day went much better than any recently or at least it "seemed" so - perhaps due to my refocusing and recommittment and my peace spread to others and smiles followed.

If you too are feeling overwhelmed, try refocusing, relaxing, asking for assistance and don't forget to BREATHE and may peace come unto you and surround you. In Love and Light - Debbie. Please visit my website. Back to T of C.
LET PEACE BEGIN WITH ME

Six great enemies to peace inhabit with us: vice, avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
