Happy Full Moon!

Spirit Voice, is the bimonthly newsletter through which 1 Spirit members share their stories, insights, and projects.

Well, Sue Jones has done it again! She offered me one of her new Power Animal readings and it was sure a surprise! I have been told before that my animal was several of "the usual ones". Wolf, hawk, snake, hummingbird and elk have all been mine. Sue came up with a very different one for me. One not ever mentioned. Definitely not an "Animal Card" type reading. Are you game?

BEYOND THE MATERIAL PLANE
By Sabra Jenny

I offer readings that can help you move beyond your day-to-day life and explore both the larger reality of spiritual unfolding, and your own multidimensionality. You may be interested in one of the following readings:

Self-Mastery Reading: Underlying the reality of our busy lives is a larger reality: that life is a process of spiritual unfolding. And each time we awaken to the next higher principle or call forth more of our own innate divinity, we step into a whole new field of greater understandings. Along with this new awareness come more lessons and responsibilities. Fortunately, we have access to the vast experience of guides and teachers in the higher planes who have gone before us and have mastered these challenges. I will bring forward their messages and offer you additional suggestions to help you succeed in your quest for self-mastery.

Alternate Realities Reading: While we are primarily focused in the physical world, we are in fact spiritual beings who interface with other realities. As we begin to experience our own multidimensionality, questions often arise around such things as mysticism, astral travel, soul travel, profound dreams and various other inner- and inter-plane encounters. An Alternate Realities Reading can shed light on these questions and how they relate to your inner expansion and your place in the "real" world.

I give readings that help people achieve more success in their lives. For information on other types of readings I offer, including Relationships, Career Path Guidance, and Creativity Enhancement, please visit my site. Back to T of C.
THE FORMULA FOR LIVING LIFE
By Terri Wiebold, R.N., Certified Holistic Nurse, Medical Intuitive

Is the formula for living life our own creation? Many believe we live our lives by what we have created. What is the meaning of “create”? In the dictionary create is defined as: to cause to come into existence, originate, to bring about. In our daily living we create who we are, what we want to be, how we want to do it, how we respond to circumstances, how we feel, how we make others feel, etc. But where does it start and how can we change our circumstances?

My spiritual mentor, Harold Barlow, explained The (simple) Formula For Life. The Formula For Life is 4 easy steps, each step building on another, in this order, to produce the end result.
The Formula For Living Life

Thought
Act
Habit
Character
Destiny

Plant a thought and harvest an act
Plant an act and harvest a habit
Plant a habit and harvest a character
Plant a character and harvest a destiny

This never deviates; it never changes. As an individual thinks, that thought creates an action or an act. As that individual acts and reacts, he creates a habit. Habitual actions and reactions create an individual’s character. It is the character of every individual that pronounces his destiny.

If you do not like your destiny, which is always with you in every now of your existence, then change your character. If you do not like or do not feel comfortable with your character, change your habits. If you do not like your habits, change your actions and reactions. And if you do not like your actions and reactions, change your thought. This is the final act that brings us back to:

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.”

Thought is the controlling interest in manifestation. These five words (listed above) are of the greatest importance over anything else you may ever learn.
--From “Heralding of Spirit” by Harold Barlow

YES, The Formula For Living Life is our own creation. We can create something new anytime we choose!

ARCHITECTS OF OUR OWN REALITY
By Rev. Maria Lupita Martinez
Channel for "Melchior"

(continuation)
We go back to relearn the lesson of "ONENESS" allowing us to be "ONE" with all there is in the Universe, especially with our brothers and sisters of the Light. At the same time we merge with many parts or aspects of SELF called on earthen terms as personalities.

May we point out to the reader that in the Csomos no one takes credit individually for a healing or what we called in our language a "miracle". We must learn to resolve the issues of "ego", and allow the Universe to do the work through us in perfect harmony participating in the Universal Consciousness of Wisdom. As a collective consciousness of LIGHT, we do the work as co-creators for the well-being of the higher consciousness with humility in our hearts and minds.

As time passes we begin to identify ourselves with the 'ONENESS' of everything that exists infusing ourselves at the same time with the most precious perfect light, which becomes pure, crystalline and powerful. It is the Light and Power of the I AM THAT I AM. All this is accomplished by using our minds the right way to manifest the healing that our hearts desires. It is so simple and yet so difficult to some to comprehend and practice in their lives.

We must have peace in our mind to allow the Universe to assist us in our goals to expand our awareness. The Light Beings are always willing to give us a hand if we have the intention to ask for assistance. We are in command of our own reality regardless where our conscioousness might ber at the present time.

Our return home starts when we pass the mid-point beyond the stars. We mean to say beyond this Solar System. We can assure you that beyond the stars you will not find other stars. The stars we see in the sky represent each of us, and are one of us. We can choose our own star any time in the knowing that the star that speaks to us is us, and that this star magnetized us allowing us to become one with same.

We would compare our reality to the detailed work and plans that an architect desires to create to manifest, in perfect harmony and balance, the plans that he has so carefully sketched himself after spending many hours of laborious concentration and effort. Well, if we would only be as careful as the architect to create detail by detail what we desire to manifest in our lives, following the spiritual plan we have conceived, our lives would be easier. This would enable us to create what we desire to manifest in our lives.

We must admit that at times it is a little difficult to go through necessary lessons presented to us. We must also consider that all situations are presented to the student in the path to benefit his/her spiritual growth in communion with numerous aspects of SELF throughout the Universe, and this includes aspects of SELF that are "Celestial Beings" from higher realms beyond the stars of our own universe. Everything in the Universe is alwys evolving to new levels of consciousnes in an eternal rotation. This is ascension. Be Love and Peace.

BELIEF SYSTEMS
By Cathy Chapman, Ph.D.

I was listening to some tapes by John Veltheim, the founder of the BodyTalk System. He made a comment which caused me to do some deep reflection. "Any belief system is limiting." Once I stopped and listened within me I realized that his comment is one of those "insights into the obvious" that I missed until pointed out. I "missed" the insight because my present belief systems about God, religion, life provide me such freedom compared to the belief systems I left behind after great inner struggle. I am now in the process of examining how my present belief systems limit me. The following are some questions I'm asking myself that I pass onto you in case they benefit you.

What, exactly, is my present belief system? What type of structure does it provide to my life? Since it is a structure, some things (ideas? beliefs?) are within the structure and some are outside of the structure? What are they? How do the beliefs outside of the structure limit my thoughts, actions, feelings and life? In what ways do the beliefs within my structure limit me? What do I want to change? How do I change it?

As I work though these questions I will identify core beliefs that are part of the fabric of my life. If I don't want them in my fabric I will release them and replace them with what I want. I now know that I need to perform such an examination on a regular basis.

Cathy Chapman, Ph.D., works from the mind/body/spirit perspective integrating spirituality, hypnotherapy, energy work and psychotherapy into a form of brief therapy. She also channels Amma who is frequently featured in the Sedona Journal of Emergence (www.sedonajournal.com).

THREE HEARTS ONE SPIRIT
By Elizabeth Herzog Wefer

Each of us has three hearts. We all know our first one--our physical heart which beats steadily and keeps us alive in this third dimension. The second one which is located just above that one is our heart chakra. Our third heart is just above the heart chakra and is called our Sacred Heart. This Sacred Heart is our connection to All That Is. Even though we each have three hearts, we are all still part of One Spirit.

Please visit my site. Back to T of C.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the World. There is nothing enlightneing about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our pressence automatically liberates others.   ~~Nelson Mandela and/or Marianne Williamson

SPIRITUAL ARCHEOLOGY
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO KNOWING ANCIENT WORLDS - Palenque, Mexico

By Aluna Joy Yaxk'in

Often times when we enter a sacred site we feel separate from it, as it is from another time and place. We think in terms of "that was then but this is now." Our feelings of separateness are far from the actual truth. We can become deeply connected with the ancient wisdom of past cultures. Oddly enough the precious wisdom of the past is NOT in a "then" moment, it is in an eternal one. So if this ancient wisdom is eternal… what do sacred sites and the wisdom of ancient cultures say to us now? How can we understand the whole picture of what these ancient cultures where saying to us with only a few pieces of a very big puzzle? How can we learn to hear the messages they preserved for us? How can we apply this wisdom in our lives?

We could try to understand what the ancients are saying to us the way modern archeologists do, by jumping to many conclusions. Famous guide to Palenque, Mexico for over 4 decades, Moises Morales, said "Archeology is not history, Archeology is assumptions.". Morales boldly states that 90% of archeology is based on understanding of the Maya that is wrong. Morales believes we are not much closer to the truth of the ancient Maya than we were when the site was uncovered decades ago. A new picture is of the Maya is arising, most specifically a new understanding of Palenque. Maybe it is time that our understanding changes into a holistic approach to archeology… a Spiritual Archeology.

Many archeologists assume that these past cultures thought, felt, and acted as we do today and base their assumptions on western perspectives and programming. We could do the same OR we could approach the limited remains of any sacred site as a doorway into a living energy where no information has been lost. The past is not separated from us by the passing of time as we might assume. All the wisdom of the past is still available to those who listen. Over the years I learned from Mayan Elders how to listen to the present, to understand the past. The present is a reflection of the past, a ripple of history washing upon the present shores of our consciousness.

Learning to hear the wisdom and history of a sacred site is as simple as getting out of our over active minds and get back to listening with open hearts. This is easier said than done, especially if we have studied a lot about a site. When we enter a sacred area thinking we KNOW things about the site or culture or have expectations about what we might learn there, we become closed to a multitude of messages. Also what we hear may directly contradict what authorities have been telling us. To hear a sacred site we must enter a site in a state of not knowing, innocence with childlike curiosity.

The best way I can convey this idea about this new approach to Archeology is though a few key points I’ve learned over the years.

WORLD GRID OF LOVE
By Dr. Barbara LaRocca

Recently I went to Brazil to participate in Medicine for the Earth (it is time to transmute pollution) and see John of God. When I landed there, I could feel the quartz radiating from the earth and in the air itself. I felt the connection to the World Grid of Love at a new height of completion.

Brazil provides such profound energy for the world grids. With the quartz from this passionate and beautiful country, we are able to more successfully connect all the points on the grid. The Grid is meant to provide a current of love and healing throughout the world and quartz is a major conductor of the energies needed.

While there, I experienced John of God, who has created a healing center in a city built on quartz. John of God is an internationally known healer who incorporates entities that are extremely powerful. He has also founded a center that is modeled after healing centers in Atlantis, using quartz and prayer (energy work with intention) to carry out the large number of healings done daily.

Whenever possible, send your intentions and prayer to those who need it. Also, spend time being open to receiving the prayers of others. By doing so, you are enhancing the "World Grid of Love." Use quartz friends whenever possible, they make life easier and help to increase and direct energy. They are natural healers who can be there anytime.

New! POWER ANIMAL READINGS
By Sue Jones

Do you know who your Power Animal is? If you're not working with a Power Animal (Animal Guide), you're missing one of life's most exciting adventures. Your Animal Guide can energize and empower you at the deepest levels of your being, instruct you in the ways of magic and help you build intuitive muscle.

I am now offering Power Animal Readings (for a very modest donation through August 31st). This one-of-a-kind psychic reading makes a nice gift for anyone who is not now working with an Animal Guide but who might like to, or for any young person who is ready for it.

The Power Animal Reading isn't a "Native American thing," nor does it represent any other singular mindset. It incorporates ALL the world's Animal Guide traditions -- from Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, etc. Why? Because the Age of Synthesis is upon us. Television beams stunning images of the world's animals -- along with stories and information about them -- right into our homes. Animal literature once associated with a specific country now belongs to the entire planet. Worldwide, technology is dissolving boundaries, blending traditions, making us a global village. And for the first time in history, humanity is beginning to experience a collective animal mythology.

This global focus is one of the things that sets these Power Animal Readings apart from other Animal Guide retrieval services out there reflecting only one tradition.

Gems + Essential Oils = STONAROMA
by Marie Allizon

“By combining two medicines, we make them stronger! Gems (wisdom) and plants (healing) are both Earth medicines. Put together, they strengthen each other. By blending the two, we create a third medicine, more powerful than either one by itself.“ --Jean Reddmann, “Strong Walking Woman”, a Mohican who worked with Mikael Zayat to create our Native American Set.

Each bottle contains two specially chosen stones or gems. The choice was made by tuning into the subtle energy of the oils that corresponds to the energy of the rock.

Here are a few examples:
CLEAR removes any issue, unwanted vibrations. It allows you to function with all your power.

MERKABA is to come in harmony with the full scope of vibration, the full spectrum of colors.

SPIRIT OF THE GRANDFATHER is a powerful energy with a piece from the Giant Rock in California that split in 1999 where Natives gathered and pray for eons. We add the energy of the Oceans (aquamarine) and obtain new wholeness.

STRESS OUT allows you to function better in daily life. It removes the stress we all carry from living on Earth at this time.

VOICE OF OUR ANCESTORS: When the Voice of the Ancestors join with the pebble of the water spirit and add the medicine of the Turquoise, the Ancient Wisdom returns.

WARRIOR SPIRIT With the medicine of the Warrior, we combine silver of the Earth for strength and the Garnet for the blood of the warrior.

WHITE LIGHT Only those things of the highest vibration can communicate or come into your energy field when one drop is anointed upon the crown chakra.

WOMEN WISDOM Combines the elements of the Sun (gold) and the Earth (Peridot) to create a Universe within.

CHAKRA 1 grounds Spirit forces in body. Gain ability to work lovingly on the physical plane.

CHAKRA 2 allows the creative forces into all aspects of being.

THE KALI SWORD IN RELATIONSHIPS
By Joanna Cherry

We are likely to find ourselves, here and there, in outworn relationships. The friend in question may be the sweetest of people (or not), but we find that our together times no longer serve us. They are moving more rapidly than we, or vice versa. The beloved may be a friend of years, even a mate; but this impasse brings the necessity for honest communication. The result may be a changed relationship, or a released one.

Karma may be at issue: are we together for karmic reasons? We can ask spirit about the depth and history of our relationship, see what's going on and what is best for us now.

We know how hard it is to release a close relationship, even an abusive one. (If abusive, I say get the h out of there and do the healing work later!) What's most helpful to me is to recognize my friend as the enlightened one, knowing exactly what s/he is doing and in exactly the right place.

When the impasse happens with a family member, it's a lot more complicated. We may live with family, take care of an aging parent or a disabled sibling. Our relationship may be karmic. Still we need to look deeply, allowing spirit to give us options better for both. If we stay together, let's also engage in resonant, true peer relationships.

To stay together out of a misguided idea of love serves no one. Love is kind and sweet, and love is also Kali's sword.

Seated in a desert place, exempt from passion, master of his senses, let man represent to himself this spirit, one and infinite, without allowing his thoughts to stray elsewhere.

Considering the visible universe as annihilated in spirit, let a man, pure through intelligence, constantly contemplate the One Spirit, as he might contemplate luminous ether.
-- Sankara (c. 900 A.D.)
