Editor's Corner: Today is 10-10 as I create this issue. The world's financial structure is crashing. I am choosing to watch it all with amusement, as a motion picture, and not buy into it as a reality. The 8-8-8 was about creating NEW Divine Manifestations and Abundance! The old must fall away before the new can appear. This is what is happening -- Be happy and rejoice! Remember that YOUR thoughts will create HOW the changes play out in your life. Remember that God and the Universe is the supply of all abundance and flow -- not the government. Remember those two things and you will be fine. I am going to repeat my words from the last issue because they ring even truer than they did just a short two months ago.

"08.08.08 is a portal of manifestation, expansion and power supported by structure and discipline. We need to be fully in our truth and our power without compromise. We must focus on that we wish to create in positive terms. The clearer one is, the higher one can soar to the heights of their true destiny. This is no longer a dress rehearsal -- It's Show Time!"

"We need to be extra aware of our thoughts as they are creating realities at light speed. Don't be surprised if negativity or fears, once thought gone, emerge as if out of nowhere. During this roller coaster ride, it might become impossible to function normally. Just go with the flow, spend time alone in nature (if possible), choose love over fear, use the Violet Flame to transmute all negative thoughts and they will dissolve almost as fast as they appeared. Fill your bodies with the Golden Light of the Christ Consciousness. This is an amazing time when we can clear many obstacles standing in our way to personal and planetary Ascension."

"By the end of September, you'll notice a clear line of distinction before August 2008 and after 08.08.08. It is in your power to become a totally different person and manifest your dreams . . . exciting isn't it?"

Travels: I leave soon for Europe. My original trip has morphed into a focus of the Divine Feminine. I have been instructed by Saint Germain and ArchAngel Michael to visit sacred sites with strong connections to; Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Joan of Arc, St. Bernadette and St. Teresa of Avila. I will share my experiences when I return.

The energy has evolved and it is harvest time. With the autumn equinox coming, we are poised at a time of letting all the old programs fall from our trees and the challenge is to stand firmly in our power. When we do this, we will harvest the fruits of our work of carrying light, being present, and intending good to occur.

The main program that must go is the one that says something is wrong with you. The second program to release is the one that says there is something wrong with your life. The third program to banish, is the one that says there is something wrong with the world.

There is nothing wrong with you. As you learn to stand firmly in your power, you are not expected to be perfect, you are expected simply to be. That’s right! There is nothing that you need to do or to change. Simply “being” is the way to stand in your power. This does not require doing anything great or anything strong. It does require breathing, the consciousness of breathing, and a lack of self criticism or any other self reference. Simply being means just that, just be!

The second program of releasing the concept of something being wrong with your life is easily released if you are doing the primary directive of just being rather than trying to change. When you see your life as perfect, then you can also keep moving forward into the wonderful aspects of life. This happens not because you are trying to improve, it is because just being allows for unfolding and that is what leads to the forward movement.

The third program to banish is that there something wrong with the world. This program causes stress, grief, anger and more. Even though we might not like or agree with how things are happening, when you see the world as perfect, you became a source of good energy that actually assists the world in transforming toward the beauty that is innate.

The harvest this year is about the true joy of experiencing your presence, and just being there.

I suggest gathering all kinds of quartz and healing tools around you this year to celebrate your rebirth into a this oneness with everything. Light a candle and holding your healing tools, allow this centered healthy, luminous energy to radiate around the world.

When I was growing up I believed that I had within me something that was special that only I could provide to the world. As I entered my teenage years that vision got cloudy and I began to feel uneasy about my place and wondered if I even belonged here.

I'm sure you can identify times in your life when you felt alone, when you didn't "fit in" or questioned why you were here. Feelings of depression, alone-ness or abandonment aside, just trying to make improvements in relationships, work situations and spiritual growth can feel overwhelming and difficult.

Luckily, there is a hidden gem within this tangled web of emotion and limiting circumstance. I'll tell you about that gift, but first I'd like to tell you about a system that has assisted me to "un-tie" my inner knots that kept me stuck and frustrated.

Now, before I fully embraced my spiritual path and purpose several year ago, I had an inner knowing that something was not quite "right" in my life and that things needed to be going in a different direction. I knew that I had a purpose and I knew I was here to help other people—but how?

I kept seeing and reading about an amazing system, a new modality that could radically change your beliefs about yourself, your genetics and accelerate your spiritual path. The series of events that led up to my ability to learn this modality was nothing short of miraculous, but that's a story for another time.

Through this modality I was able to step into my authentic Oneness with Source, and found a place of clarity to identify and release anything that was holding me back from actualizing my purpose and transform everything that I was holding onto that was not for my highest good. I could finally feel myself stepping up to my spiritual purpose and my sacred reason for being.

A Course in Miracles says that we each have a light within us that is not meant to be hidden. I know that you can feel that light and you sense it's presence within you. I would like to extend an invitation to you to activate a deeper level of that Light and a greater presence of the Light in your daily life.

How do you do that?

You do that by stepping into your point of Oneness with your Soul and with Spirit. From this awareness point you can easily shift and release anything you're holding onto that is acting as a form obstruction of the Light you hold within. The Light you hold within is Truth, Love and Oneness.

This is where your gem of tangled emotions and limiting experience come in. Simply by creating an intention to release them begins healing on many levels. When you partner with your higher consciousness and Source, you begin to bring deep and lasting healing and change to your life. Your problems, road bumps and set backs become a sign post for deeper, authentic healing, spiritual acceleration and manifesting greater levels of your light.

Manifesting greater levels of your Light will not only heal your life and accelerate your personal goals and desires, it will allow you to hold that Light for others, who are still trying to find it within themselves. You will also begin to live in sync with your uniqueness and your personal Sacred Purpose.

So, what was this miracle modality that I found? It's called Serenity Vibration Healing and Enlightenment Technique. This unique system let me take my issues, my blocks and see them in clarity and finally let them go. Spiritually I went from the speed of a horse-drawn carriage to the speed of a rocket ship (if not faster). The spiritual growth and personal empowerment I've found using this system has been incredible.

When you hear the word 'change', does it bring about excitement or fear? Is your reality based only upon your own beliefs? Can you release your ideas to allow something new to enter into your space? We are about to provide you with an opportunity to receive new information that could change your reality. How many of you will actually read any further?

Guess the question becomes: How many of us listen to the information we receive from our Higher Self? It would be great to say that we all sense our Higher Selves. The truth is, it appears that many of us really don't. Each of us is a unique being with our own set of life situations, past history, lineage, culture, heritage and much more. Each one of us individually have become our own vibration based on our own life experiences. This frequency brings us more information that resonates within that vibration. Anything outside of that band of energy would feel foreign - or possibly even empty, for a lighter vibration would actually feel like 'nothing' to us. For many people, this is not something we would choose to explore. In some way, our own 'awareness' might be the very factor that limits new insights or new information. We come to believe our own beliefs, our own ideas so strongly that often, another belief, a new philosophy appears strange, perhaps even outlandish and therefore, we reject it without exploring. We think our knowing is our connection with Higher Self. That locks us into the same vibrations that resonate with other people reflecting our beliefs back to us. We connect with certain communities, feel comfortable and settle in. There is nothing right or wrong about any of this - it is just the way that it appears to be, the way that we appear to form our opinions, beliefs, ideas and judgments.

The other week, I contacted the publisher of an important spiritual magazine to share what we feel is important new information that could be available to anyone who chooses. The publisher asked me: 'Where did this information come from?' I replied: From myself'. Since the information was not 'channeled' from a greater being, a more well-known power, this publisher could not allow the information to hold any credibility. So she rejected the information, chose not to even see it or read it. She judged it within her own limited awareness. What makes us do this? Why do we automatically turn away from something that could help us when it does not fit into the 'channel' of our knowing?

Have you done it too? Watched, observed, noted, even studied the conventions, the speakers, the speeches, the delegates, the moods, the people? What have you seen? To me, the differences are striking, even startling. Dimensional shift is upon us, and the conventions provide the evidence.

Rewind and look at the Democratic National Convention. Feel the energy? The energy and excitement of newness, of freshness…in the back of my mind, I kept hearing “all things new, all things new.” The people were extremely diverse, like we really are here in the U.S.A. The faces had a look of brightness, awareness and imagination. There was hope. Yes, there was Republican bashing, but the speeches generally centered on creating peaceful resolutions to our many pressing problems.

Now take a look at the Republican National Convention. Feel any energy? Feel tired? How about that diversity? I didn’t see it either. The average age of the audience was probably 20 years above the average age of the audience attending the massive DNC. With the exception of Sarah Palin’s brilliantly delivered speech, every time the camera panned the audience I saw someone yawning. The speeches were very heavy on Democrat bashing and centered on protection and defense: in a word, war.

Something fundamental is changing right before our eyes. One party is awakening and becoming aware that the old ways of war have never worked and never will and it’s time, now that we’re awake, to try a new approach. There is excitement and LIFE shining from their faces. The people feel that they have purpose again; that they count in the scheme of things. The Christ in us is arising!

The other party wants desperately to hang on to the old ways of war and greed, touting the honor of war records and their voting records regarding war efforts. Did you see all the soldiers in the audience? All the veterans? Absolutely these people served with honor, and they deserve our service for the remainder of their lives. But the new approach, the awakened thinker, asks “Why these wars in the first place? Why Viet Nam? Why Iraq? What has been gained?”
