APRIL 8 -- the NEW MOON passes across the face of the Sun for a TOTAL ECLIPSE. Mainly visible in the North Atlantic, we’ll all feel its effects.

The mysterious power of an eclipse is compelling, even in these modern, electrically enlightened times. Eclipses line up with the nodes of the moon, called the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail, points of destiny where the path of the Sun crosses the path of the Moon, It was imagined that a dragon was eating the celestial disk. During eclipses we process a round of karmic conditioning, clearing a pathway toward further growth.

In ARIES, a fire sign of initiative, invention and trail-blazing, this solar eclipse aligns with the Dragon Head—heading into unexplored vistas. Invisible in the light of the Sun, Venus sparkles this eclipse with the Color of Love. Imagine Zena, Amazon warrior queen riding the dragon, following the cosmic call, taking a quantum leap in consciousness. She dares you to ride with her. From full integrity direct your energy to what will be most personally satisfying. Heed the deepest desires of your soul. Dare to be Selfish, with the capital S, higher Self. Who else will be YOU!?

It requires a heightened level of self-awareness to fully engage eclipse energy. The dark disk of the Moon outlines old patterns, instinctive reactions that pass across our lives like dark storm clouds, blocking the Sun. Saturn in Cancer can imprison us in fear or urge us to courageously step forth. During an eclipse, the seeds planted at the monthly New Moon emerge from deeper ground.

We look into a circle of darkness, a mirror to our own inner wholeness or lack thereof. What will be revealed? It’s up to you.

I have read hundreds of books about personal finances from both the day-to-day world of financial planning to the New Age gurus of money, but VERY FEW of them even talk about our relationship with money.

THE TRUTH IS that we each have a personal relationship with money EVEN if we do not realize this. AND the healthier your relationship with money is, the more money, success and financial freedom you enjoy.

Some of the keys to healing your relationship with money include:
1. Become more aware of your limited beliefs around money and clear them.

2. Know where you stand financially at all times.

3. Identify what your skills, talents and interests are and find a career where you can use them.

4. Become a savvy consumer and develop a plan to reduce your expenses so that you generate the cash flow you need to invest in yourself and your dreams.

5. Create a game plan for what you want to accomplish financially, set goals, make action plans and go for it.

6. Begin to tap into, harness and apply the unlimited power and potential of your mind to make your dreams come true.

Many of us have heard the expression Merkabah or Lightbody being bandied about in spiritual circles, but it is still regarded as quite a vague term or concept. We hope in this article to show how it is the cornerstone of the very reality which we call our own and the focus of the whole of the Ascension of Humanity and the planet.

Many people ask us who or what is God? God, in the sense of an intelligent being, is in Itself not intelligent in the way we know it. The Divine consists of a single thought, and that thought is I AM. It knows nothing other than IT IS. It is Unity. It is One. It exists eternally, unchanging.

Creation starts when this Unity starts to contemplate itself. As IT is unchangeable, the contemplation of Itself creates a mirror image. This mirror image is I AM THAT I AM.

This is the original duality. It is the mirror image, the I AM THAT I AM, that starts to undergo the process of self-examination in relation to Itself which is unchanging. It continues this process of self-examination and reaction to the I AM until such time as it achieves balance and Unity. The two have become One.

The same process as described above then creates another mirror-image which causes a Triplicity. The interaction of these three forces creates the energy or formulae we know as Phi or the Golden Mean. It is this Triplicity which is Merkabah.

I can hear the coming spring in the puddle-making dripping - a small sound, sharp against the sensitive drum inside my ear that barely notices the traffic's heavy muffle. I can feel it in the shy softness of sunwarmed afternoon air in my snow-bright back yard, can see it in sparkling patches of naked earth under crystal-clear melt.

I can hold these small, faint things as long as I listen for them, open my hands to them, and magnify them as real. Doing so, I know them as sacred icons I harbor quietly, carefully, gingerly shifting them to a primal altar in a sanctuary of promise deep in a cave in my heart hidden from the larger, noisier, more prominent matters of winter: putting more gas in the snowblower; knowing the sound of my winter step as heavy, boot-shod clumping and shuffling; the scrape of rusted blade against ice chunks and concrete.

There are other, more important things that we know will need to fly from us, and we hold these precious jewels sacred, and until the time comes to open our curled and resistant fingers - the giving of a child into another's arms, the release of a secret into another's trusted pulse.

And then, having released, we are alone in the instant of emptiness, a sacred space because here the holder and the held are not distinct. It is the place where the rabbit hole may rise up with dark, loamy hands, pulling us into a darkness where we serve a nether lord, or the sliver of sky on which we stand turn upside down. Suddenly, the world is different. . . To read the rest of this article, click here. Back to T of C.

The idea of convenience, and what we are willing to do, and not do, became a subject for thought the last few weeks. It was triggered by a note I received from a bookstore owner in Chicago. We were discussing the Solar Wave (www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/solarwave2005.html). She was telling me that people would get involved only if it was convenient for them. In other words, people would not participate in events that could have potential to heal humanity and the planet if it was inconvenient.

I began to look at this idea of convenience. In my sessions with clients I began to watch for places that they were willing to settle for less to avoid the inconvenience or conflict created by shifting or changing any given situation. I began to see that a core reason why the consciousness of humanity and the state of our planet is the way it is, is because it is too inconvenient for us to fix it.

Have we become so comfortable, or should I say anesthetized, in our current situations that we are not willing make the changes needed in our lives, communities, countries and planet, to make a better life or a better world? Are we stunting our spiritual and emotional well-being just because it's too inconvenient to begin to live our lifes purpose ? Have we filled our lives up with so much doing, that we are to sedated to consider just being?

There are many children being born today on this Earth – children that are born pure in Spirit, and who hold the pure energy of God. You look into their eyes and you see wise old souls in small bodies. Many of whom when they speak, speak a seemingly “different” language, saying profound and wise things. You may know a child like this, or may even have of your own.

These children are known as “The Indigo and Crystal Children”. In other words, the world is being infused with new breeds of Be-ing – literally, with the Children of Light.

The Children of Light come as complete perfection, by choice, into a seemingly imperfect world, but there is great disparity between the energy of their Higher Knowing and the energy of this world. These children often feel confused, rebel, act out their pain, and some can often feel suicidal or suffer from depression. They feel discomfort being in their bodies, and many have difficulty coping with life. And spiritually, they often feel battered and bruised. The difficulty lies not only in these children not having a full conscious understanding of how to fit in a world that does not necessarily support them at this time in its evolution, but also for parents, guardians, teachers, and friends, on how to counsel and guide them through these “rough” waters.

Coming from within the unique eyes and knowingness of an Indigo-Crystal, it is our mission to assist not only these children, but to help coach them and their families in recognizing who they are and their purpose for being here. I coach people – Indigos and non, to discover and fulfill their contracts with themselves. Acceptance of their uniqueness, and learning to cope and navigate their way around a changing and fluctuating world that currently may not resonate with the knowingness that these children carry within their being, is vital. And these “old souls” in small form, are simply waiting to fully embrace and get on with what they came here to do – to pave the way for a universal paradigm shift in consciousness.

Pick Your Model - Easy or Hard... Long or Short

Have you noticed that just about everyone you know has “issues” about something, or perhaps many some things. It was only a few decades ago when if someone was upset about something major, they went to a psychiatrist and usually kept it to themselves. Don’t want anyone to know that you’re “nuts” or have a “mental problem.”

There are several old schools of thought that support the notion that forward progress in someone’s life is hard, hard work and can take many years, perhaps even a lifetime and then some. Let’s review three popular models that support this first notion.

The Psychotherapeutic Model
The psychotherapeutic model often has people “in therapy” for years and years. They keep digging and digging, often times dredging up old, nearly forgotten slights and hurts that then have to be examined and discussed. People sometimes get into trouble with this model because when we start digging up old issues and start paying attention to them, that is exactly where your energy is going. If you keep putting your attention energy on to these old issues you are empowering them and make them grow. This is not a bash on the psychotherapeutic model, just an observation.

The Christian “Original Sin” Model
Then there is the Christian model of “original sin.” It basically tells us that we are all born with the stain of Adam and Eve on our soul and that the one and only path towards salvation is through the acceptance of the Lord Jesus as your savior. Otherwise, it makes no difference what so ever what you do with your life, you simply will not go to Heaven when you die.

The Question “Why?” is actually a very deep question. If you simply look at the linguistics, it is the second to the last of your Anglo-Saxon alphabet.

A fascinating question indeed, it shows the duality of the human expression - the human mind. And even in its symbology, the ‘Y’, where the two become as one, the two, from above, pointing with their commerce connecting in the very mid-section - mid-heaven, and then manifestation of the one, below. Very fascinating.

The ‘why’ always points to you. It does, if you’ve ever considered… the ‘Y’ is always pointing to ‘U’. Where is ‘U’ in your alphabet? U, V, W, X, Y, Z. Isn’t that interesting, if one could ever just look at the symbology. ‘U’, ’V’, and the double ‘U’, ‘X’, whoa! And then, ‘Y’! And then, of course, there comes ‘Z’. The parallel paths connected by a diagonal bar. Going from the right to the left, from above to below.

Indeed, these are the times of the emancipation of the ‘Y’; where no longer does the “why” need. If you take the ‘Y’ apart - the three little bars – reconnecting, they become a ‘Z’ really quickly. Here’s a true Zen Reality: ‘why’ is a neither question nor statement as it always leads to ‘you’.

In these days that you find yourselves manifest in, moreover, it is not a question of ‘why this is happening?’ but, ‘where do you fit?’ Where does the ‘you’ fit? These are days of the big picture embracing it’s little self: Beyond mind, beyond body… beyond conflict. You know, there is a lot of conflict in ‘Y’. Right at the fulcrum point, where that ‘V’ connects the left and the right intersect; then point straight down. And the stand has to carry the weight of both sides.

Curious… minds! You’re your own worst enemy, and yet, balance is coming. If one could see the absolute mystery of how ‘Y’s always balance! You don’t see a ‘Y’ tipping over, because at the fulcrum point, when the ‘V’ is connecting, the energy is dispersed and grounded. ‘Why?’ It’s why I’ve often said, ‘why not?’ You, humans, in your most beautiful moment, do you realize you never ask: ‘why’? When enraptured and merged, filled with bliss, honor and love, you’re not asking, ‘why?’ You will never find a poet saying, ‘why do I feel this way?’ They just speak reams of the experience.

Yes, maybe ‘why’ is the brush that Creatrix uses to import such magic and madness into your realm. Such beautiful times, indeed. Embrace the ‘U’ that you all are. It’s wonderful if you look at that lettering (of the U), it starts from one side, whichever you choose and they juxtapose. They swoop down, cup and bring it right back to where it started. Different position, it’s not like the ‘O’, circular and forever. It is the ‘U’, filled with experience. May you always have surrender when noticing Why (Y) is just You (U).

Indeed ‘Why’ is an appropriate question. It allows the self to see itself reflected in all things. At the same point, one must be allowing, so that they don’t literally tear away the fulcrum and create separation. You are all well cared for beloveds, whether you are aware of it or not. There is a movement and a journey that is enriching all and everything.

Yes, You are such a fragile species, moving through the wilds of manifestation. Journey well indeed.

For many months, we have all been striving, resolving, and building. The effort seems to be going nowhere and yet there recently has been a sense of accomplishment—a knowing that many of the things we were doing are leading somewhere—growing has been occurring regardless of the levels of stress and depression.

The question is being asked, “Where is the switch to turn this new stuff on?” It feels like “it” should be happening—new relationships, career successes, changes that are beneficial…and there isn’t anything really wrong anymore. But there isn’t anything happening yet.

In the next few weeks, those well earned efforts will start to bear fruit. You have worked hard, whether you are conscious of all the effort and the changes or not. The changes are worth it. The outcome will include more confidence, more well-being and a stronger sense of self.

Simply be ready to throw the switch to the “on” position. You are ready for these changes. It isn’t time to look back—look forward.

It is also time to dust off your healing tools, your positive thinking will be more successful, and your actions will be more fruitful.

If you are a person who loves crystals, it is time to cleanse them (visualize light going through them) and meditate on what is next.

For those of you who are aware of this year’s Wesak event in Mt. Shasta, it is a new and wondrous switch.
