1 Spirit On-Line Newsletter
Troika Celeste St.Germain, Editor
November/December 1999

Happy Holidays and joyous end to all years beginning with the number 1! This is our last newsletter of 1999. We wish you good health, love, joy, abundance, and most of all, peace for the holiday season and the New Year! Some believe the New Millennium begins with this New Year, others the following New Year. Which is correct is not the issue. The fact that MOST people believe it is now and expect a shift is what is of importance. The collective effort is what will facilitate a shift, so please focus your prayers, attention and energy in whatever manner feels appropriate for you. See you in the new and improved year 2000!

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

THE EARTH NEEDS HER PEOPLE
by Komra Atiri Cheyene Moriko

Recently I have been wondering about the transformation we are approaching in the near future. Wondering what the nature of it will be.

From listening to dear friends describing their preparations, their hopes, their fears, their dreams, and from considering my inner responses ranging from despair to enthrallment, I have come to believe we may not be able to imagine what could be possible.

Imagine that the pollution on our dear planet is an illusion, that the transformative power to come is so strong that the "poisons" we created are simply tools for our awakening.

Imagine that instead of an angry Earth, we know a loving, vivid Earth who supports us in our growing awareness because she expands and evolves as we do the same. Imagine drinking her water without fear, eating without fear, being in the sunlight without fear, breathing the air without fear. Imagine being loved without fear by our dear mother Earth.

We need our Earth, for far more than just our physical bodies, we need our beautiful home planet for our soul. Maybe each of us has had our heart ripped by violence in this life or another. Trust is broken. And still, we are here. We are alive. We breathe and we feel and we aspire.

So, we have tools, to help heal and transform our yin/yang, connection/disconnection, hurt/heart. Earth Mandalas are like seeds, seeds that bring you blessings for your dream come true . . . plant the seeds and let them grow.

MAIDEN VOYAGE
by Mount Shasta Magazine

This is our first issue. We have left old, limited thought forms and conclusions behind us and stepped off the precipice. An exciting unknown­the future­lies white and clear before us. We're excited, exuberant and, frankly, exhausted. We can't wait to see how all our effort is going to turn out. Yes, we do have a pretty good idea what's going to happen. We've done the work and the manifestation has taken shape. But we'd be less that truthful if we didn't admit to a little anxiety about that wondrous unknown!

When you think about it, we're all in the same boat. January, 2000 is only a couple of months away. The entire planet is mesmerized­entranced by the Hookish ticking of a cosmic clock. Does it portend the crocodile of our doom, or the Pan of our redemption?

Everyone has his or her own opinion about the Millennium. Some say nothing will happen and the world will go on as usual. Others say the Ascended Masters will make themselves known to Earth¹s entire population and a Golden Age will begin. One group is stockpiling food and automatic weapons, while another is building temples on sacred mountains, anticipating the arrival of space brothers. We humans are indeed a creative, diverse lot!

Mount Shasta Magazine contains articles we feel are most in alignment with our own take on the big event. We hope you enjoy them.


ASCENDED MASTER MESSAGES
by Patty Finlayson

Many questions have been asked of the Masters during our monthly Meetings with Them. The Masters have a singular theme running through Their answers, and that is to go within. They urge you over and over to pray and meditate, especially to meditate. They advise you to ask your Higher Self or I Am Presence, or to call upon Them, to help you make decisions and the answer will come to you in a way you will understand.

Dwahl Kuhl and Mother Mary advise you go within, go within, over and over. When fear arises, Mother Mary emphasizes to go within, meditate, ask Them or your Higher Self for guidance. When you listen to your inner voice, you will be in the right place at the right time. If you will listen to your intuition you will guided perfectly.

Kuthumi repeatedly emphasizes to meditate, and to call upon Him daily to blaze the Golden Ray through your four lower bodies in order to have the wisdom, illumination and understanding to recognize your path and what you need to do at any specific time. As your wisdom is increased and you understand things better, the illumination comes and you can see the big picture. Kuthumi says it is most important for light workers to call upon Him at this time so that He can help you.

In these exciting and changing times it is good to that know your answers are so close, and will come easily and understandably when you ask. Click here to visit us.
THE GIFTS WE BRING
by Susan Renuka Dubin

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, lived a most beautiful fairy princess named Allah. She dwelled in a place full of lush forests, fragrant flowers and highly royal devas. The animals of the forest cared for her gently. The squirrels made sure that she was never wanting for nuts and the birds brought her beautiful flowing ribbons for her tumbling, golden hair. The Great Brown Bears brought many varieties of fresh berries, and the sparkling crystal clear waters of the waterfalls and streams lapped gently near her feet.

It is one of Allah's jobs to bless passing strangers. She wondered why so long ago people had stopped bringing her garlands and sweet cream, but she still blessed them and sent fairy dust with pure magic to lighten their journeys.

One day Allah found a small child alone by a pond in the woods. The girl was crying and Allah sat close to her, watching with concern. To her surprise, the child saw her and exclaimed, "I wish I was a fairy princess!"

"Why?" asked Allah, "You are a perfect child as you are meant to be!" "Everyone wants to be a fairy princess," said the child, whose name was Sara. "Everyone wants to be special."

"You are such a very special child, that you have come all this way to see me! Perhaps that is what is wrong with people today. They no longer feel special. They do not use their gifts."

They sat together silently for some time. The winds were gentle and warm. All the animals watched respectfully and waited.

Then Allah said, "Go home and BE special! You have the special gift of seeing things clearly. Remind everyone you see of what their gift is and soon they will use their gifts. Then the world will be alive again with gifts and people will feel special. They will remember to bring me sweet cream and garlands again". They embraced.

Now Sara is turning to you. See your gift. Make it your present to the world. Feel the gifts brought by others. May we all feel like a special fairy princess (or prince) and may we always remember to share our gifts.

Have a most Merry Christmas and a sparkling new Millennium!


DO ANIMALS HAVE SOULS?
by Catherine Lynn Ceci

When I was a little girl I was told that Animals do not have souls. In Sunday school the teacher told me that spending so much time with Animals and Nature would "interfere with my relationship with God." She also preached that we were to live our lives on Earth waiting for Jesus to "come back" and take us all to "heaven."

With that religious teaching, the plight of the Earth and her Animals (and some people) did not matter.

These ideas and some other misinterpretations of Biblical scriptures is what is partially responsible for the lack of a sense of responsibility for the Earth and her creatures. When humans believe they are superior, their ego can drive them to enslave and oppress others. When decisions are made by a society based on the perception that we are separate from, rather than a part of Nature, the results are the current conditions we have today, where we are faced with insurmountable problems that include depletion of our natural resources and countless numbers of homeless and neglected Animals. Only a world where people have lost a vision of sacredness of life could produce such dramatic results that are in desperate need of healing.

People that allow the needless suffering of Animals or see Animals just as a commodity for human use, are usually not in touch with their own emotional and spiritual nature. They may have been deeply indoctrinated with traditions that prevent them from perceiving Animals as sentient beings. Often a person will first become aware of their own spiritual nature and feelings of connectedness through a Love bond they experience in a relationship with their pet. This is one way the Animals are still willing to serve us and help us heal these feelings of separation from the natural world -- despite the beliefs and difficulties we have often mindlessly inflicted upon them.

HARTSONG AND SOUL
Soul Centered Creativity with Celesttina Hart

We are living in great, shifting times. We are being called to be aware of how we are creating our life on Earth. In a conscious way we can choose to connect with a far Greater Self that is in alignment with who we really are. In this place of Soul Connection we are capable of creating Heart's Desire.

My work is a marriage of the Healing Arts and the Creative Arts. In my experience as a performer I have acknowledged that the "work" is about clearing oneself through exercises to reach "neutral" and then inputting attributes, and/or character essences to radiate out through performance. I find this a great parallel with the healing arts; to release that which is truly not "ours" then to input into our being qualities in alignment with our "higher self". Thus has followed a natural link to my present work, Soulenterformance®.

I work with groups on creative projects (theater, music, film, visual art). A combination of Individual and Group work helps to integrate the individual within the group; aspects of the group are then worked with in a balanced way, achieving greater Integration and Unity.

Indigenous cultures experience Intention and Creation as Medicine for the people. This Creative Process is totally embraced in Soulenterformance®.

In my own creativity, I work by clearing and opening myself as a “Grail” to fill with appropriate Essences to radiate out through performance. The resulting performance is uplifting, multidimensional and inspirational. The spiral journey continues . . . Please come visit.


GOD'S COMPASSION IS INCONSISTENT WITH A HELL
by Sirrom

In my recent appearances on radio talk shows throughout the country, I was surprised at comments of Christian listeners in the Deep South Bible belt. I was told that if I am right, and there is no Hell, then "all the sinners of the world would end up in heaven, with us good people, and we don't want them there."

In the October 1999 issue of the Smithsonian magazine, the author tells of the hellfire preachers who make a specialty of describing in detail the horrors of hell. They formerly preached that one of the joys of being in Heaven would be to look down and watch sinners twisting and suffering agony at the hands of the Devil.

Think about that intolerance! It shows that some "religious" people feel justified in despising others and actually hoping that they spend eternity screaming in torture forever and ever. That creates the "us" versus "them" mentality.

That is not a healthy mental attitude for the human race in the new century with so many countries obtaining nuclear weapons. As long as one believes that some people will be tortured forever by God Himself, one becomes more likely to join in mob action to bring genocide to those for whom God apparently shows no love. That is why so much of what we find in this Newsletter is encouraging because it truly advocates love, forgiveness and compassion for all. Please visit me.

 

CONNECTING WITH CRYSTALS
by Barbara LaRocca

In this time of major changes, Spirit is manifesting stronger each day within us and we need to connect more deeply with Spirit. Crystals are a powerful and efficient way of doing this.

Star friends seeded this planet with very special crystals. Along with these special seeded crystals, ancient crystals are being mined and cut to metaphysical specifications making them powerful transmitters, connections to information from the astral and other dimensions, as well as accessing our Higher Powers.

Crystals cut using ancient metaphysical blueprints are being used for meditation, personal healing, and to contact and receive messages from the main guardians of Earth: the Sirians, the Pleiadians, and Andromedians. Also, the Triple Goddesses have begun to work more closely with us: Quan Yin, Mary, and the Nameless One. Crystals make these connections stronger and enable you to bring the specific flavors and blessings of our helpers into focus in a more useable form.

Various cutters are making Ancient Healing Tools in forms that enhance your ability to heal and connect with Spirit. The different Dream Crystals (double terminated with various number of sides) heal the inner matrix of the individual, reconnect with the Spiritual Sources, and download information from other dimensions. Vogel cuts and combinations of clear crystal with amethyst or citrine help heal past lives, emotional trauma, and physical problems, as well as working with your matrix and the planet grid. All of these crystals are friends that can align you with the coming spiritual changes. Visit CrystalWings.com for more info and availability of crystals and workshops.


BLESSINGS!
by Josiane Antonette

Year ago when I was doing my apprenticeship with a kahuna shaman from Hawaii, my teacher used to say, "If you need to transform a pattern or send a wish to the heavens, go to a well attended concert or church and use the concentration of energy to send your request to spirit and watch what will happen." Throughout the years I have used this techniques and I am still amazed by the results.

We invite you to join us of The Bernadette Foundation to celebrate the new Millennium in a safe and sacred way using ancient shamanic tools of dissolving the old and recreating the new under the powerful presence of our beloved Mt. Shasta. We will then enter the new millennium with a renew connection with the world of spirit, a new vision for our future and those of our children and a deeper love for ourselves, our planet, and for everything that is alive. See our website for more information on joining the celebration. May the new year bring to you the fulfillment of all your dreams and may you always remember to honor all lives and the oneness of all lives. --With love, Cedar Woman.


COLLECT THE GIFTS OF YOUR PAST!
by Joanna Cherry

This is the lifetime to wrap up all our loose ends: not only to clear all karma, but to benefit from any greatness of former lives. Where have you come from to serve Earth, and who have you been? Though this is of zero importance to the ego, it is helpful to realize what we can call back into present consciousness. If you came from Sirius, for example, with perhaps a stop off in the Pleiades to learn more about Earth, that means your soul carries the Sirian master you were. If after you arrived here you were a master a few times, such as an Egyptian master or a Zen or Taoist master, these too you can recall.

It also helps to know the master friends you have known along your way. Through reading Autobiography of a Yogi when I was opening in this life, I reconnected with the great immortal master Babaji, and my entire life changed in an instant. It may help you to look at pictures of the masters, and read about them, to remember one who is an old connection for you. You can find some of these in the AMI website.

Through meditation, you may ask your spirit these questions, and gain more and more clarity about them. From there, you can consciously re-call and welcome your old master consciousness, to synthesize in a new and greater way than ever before! Happy millennium to all!


FROM THE GALACTIC CETACEANS
from Sananjaleen with Love

For three years I received a monthly message from the Cetaceans. On this occasion it was a discourse from the Whales, on anchoring the new reality by living it.

“Who are we? We are your Galactic Selves, an identification that should not bring surprise, for have you not been told - time is collapsing, time is condensed, realities are merged. There are bleed through on all levels, and to those who can reach through into the so called higher realms, all is available and ready to be of assistance in helping you raise your entire being, your life, your world, your reality, into our existence - rather than just projecting or extending your mind, and symbolically - your hand.

God bless. We are your True Selves, and each may know us in a variety of forms. To you, we are the Galactic Cetaceans - the Elohim, Archangelic forms of Light and Purity Divine. For another, we are Creation Itself, Supreme Creator, Divine Oneness known simply as That Lord Thy God. And so we say to each Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish, Adonai Sabayoth. Amen. Amen. Amen and Amen.”

Seasonal special. Six copies of The Dolphin Ones for $22. Includes shipping. Great Christmas gifts! Please visit my site - but I will be away in Australia until November 29.


CHANGES
by Colin Hanlen

We have all heard about Earth Changes and Dimensional Shifts for a long time now. My usual reaction has been, "Yeah it's about time some things shift because there are a lot of things not really fun about Life On Earth." And as my body has gone through aches, pains and shifts I finally realized that since my body is just about 100% earth it is also going to change with the Earth Changes. And as my body shifts I have shifting moods and out of the usual thoughts. And I have realized I can let external events change me - OR - I can pay closer attention to my internal processes and see where and how I am opinionated, hard-hearted or otherwise getting in my own way and causing me/ME to have unpleasant thoughts and feelings.

I have found that watching my handwriting - which always changes with our moods - to see if I am flowing with change or resisting the flow of change. A nice fluid look to writing says that I am flowing. If it looks a bit jerky, a little bit rigid than I am resisting some changes and shifts. If there are little hooks, some uncomfortable angles, some jabbing lines it is time to see how making some shifts will make me more comfortable. At some level we all know what to do. HOWEVER we have been taught so many bad habits and other conditionings that often we can't see the forest for the trees. No matter how brilliant we may be it is always wise to check the opinion and knowledge of others. A wise person can be of great help but never overlook the wisdom that can flow from the mouths of babes and fools. And remember that only your graphologist knows for sure!

The other reports I offer can also offer some insight. Very often they tell us nothing new but I have certainly found it comforting that something so impersonal as a report tells me my hang ups are not all my fault. I figure that wherever we bought into this merry-go-round of life that we get the fun stuff - and some challenges to find our way around. My favorite is the Aztec Astrology. The Edgar Cayce Past Life Report is also excellent. As a therapist I - and others - frequently recommend these for personal insight. Find out more at my website.


SACRED SONG OF MAYA
by Mary Lightning Locke

The Maya said that the word is Music (PAX) and Song (KAYAB), and, in turn, vibration, color, heat and sound. They listened to the Sacred Songs of the Maya priests.

Today Man looks to reestablish a new equilibrium with Nature. We must transform Malice, for Hatred is nothing to practice in the Golden Epoch. Maya Wisdom is left wanting as long as we do not practice this among ourselves. In Maya Authenticity, neither ambition nor vanity exists.

Ceremony is the most important act that a group can perform. The Maya have participated in ceremony for hundreds of years to honor Mother Earth, to find an answer to a problem, to raise their hearts with others, and to become a HALAH UINIK, a true human being.

For the 2000 Spring Equinox, K’u-Kuul-Kaan Academy has been invited to join with traditional Maya shamans performing ceremonies in local villages to attain a balance with Nature, ourselves and the Cosmos. This trip is open to up to 25 sincere participants who wish to perform ceremony, be welcomed in a Maya pueblo, and talk with local Maya priests who are respected for their sincerity and heart by the Maya themselves.

K’u-Kuul-Kaan Academy also has Mayan Sacred Site Elixirs for Chichén Itzá and 16 other sites. The Mayan Masters of Light commissioned these vibrational essences. Now everyone around the world can use them to connect with the energy of the sites. For more information on the trip or the elixirs visit our site.


DIVINE LOVE
by Ashalyn

I find Divine Love in many places, places some people wouldn't even think of looking. Walking through the slums of the world one might think that God is nowhere to be found. But upon taking a closer look, one can see Divine Love shared in the most intimate of ways.

It is by opening up our ability, and indeed our desire, to see love in all situations that we are showered with the blessings of Divine Love in each moment of our existence. This opening also involves letting go of past beliefs and fears which have imprisoned us in our own personal hell on Earth and kept us in a holding pattern where we experienced more and more of what we believed to be true. "Believed to be true" is the key phrase here, and the main reason for the seemingly endless suffering of mankind.

How many of you:
• feel the eternal beauty of Divine Love in each and every cell of your being?
• respond to all life?s situations from a place of eternal Divine Love?
• walk upon the earth with Divine Love and respect in each blessed step you take?
• wake up each morning with Divine Love singing in your heart and inspiring your every move?

To me, this is the ultimate challenge we are all faced with, not only at this pivotal moment in time, but every single day of our lives. How many of you are willing to be the Divine Love that you always have been, with each precious breath you take? Drop by and visit my site.


ORIGINAL MIND
by Irma Kaye Sawyer

Greetings all! I hope this column finds you well and happy. The fall season is indeed upon us, and the energies are changing along with the leaves! I have been working with the energy of the Ascended Master, Kwan Yin for some time now. She is the mother of compassion who hears the cries of the world. She is the eastern version of the Holy Mother. She has a very tangible and beautiful energy for those who seek her. Her qualities are hopefulness, graciousness, and beauty.

Recently, she revealed to me a powerful meditative/empowerment process called "The Flower of Awakening." There are three gifts given: knowledge, healing and power.

She said, "It is the ego (grasping) that keeps one from the higher states of love and the bounty of spirit." Bounty of spirit….I just love that! It is indeed true. These times, while wonderful and exciting, can also be disconcerting with all the changes taking place. Kwan Yin gently reminds us to turn within and rest in the beauty and calmness.

I am happy to share this empowerment process with you. How are you faring this year? Please drop me an email, I would love to hear from you! Let me know how I can be of service.
May all beings be well.
May all beings be happy.
Bright Blessings to you. Please visit my website.

EGOS, THE ILLEGAL PASSENGERS
by Aluna Joy Yaxk’in

Contained within the ancient esoteric science of the Inca masters is 3 steps that help humanity master the limiting human condition. The first step is to know the self and overcome the effects of the negative egos. The second step is master kundalini energy and to manifest the light body. The third step is to offer sacred service/Dharma and live from unconditional love.

The first step, mastering the ego, is considered the hardest and the most difficult to master. Humanity as a whole tends to deny its negative side. We don’t want to admit to ourselves that we are less than perfect. It is this deep but unconscious desire to be perfect that pushes us toward self mastery. The challenge is to be conscious about this process and to not judge ourselves for being less than perfect, after all, judgment of ourselves or anyone else is also from the egos.

Societal programming makes it difficult for humanity to master their egos. The mass media tells us how to think, feel and act. Ego, and its excesses, are not only encouraged, but honored by mass media. In this society, large egos rise to the top like demi Gods and have the awe of the masses. So the path of discovering oneself, mastering the false egos to becoming a humble servant of the creator, can be quite a task.

Ego worship is a major difference between our culture and the ancient traditions. In Inca teachings an inflated ego is not honored, but considered a sign of a person less evolved. Fostering a quality like humbleness, acting and living in truth and willingness to work hard without thought of reward is considered honorable. This simple teaching is also mirrored in Tibetan Buddhism and many other ancient cultures of the world.

Why do we want to master the ego? Continued HERE.


THE DIVINE MARRIAGE
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

The Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine Polarities of God are being brought into balance within ALL Humanity. This Activity of Light is a Sacred Marriage that is taking place within every persons Heart Flame. Through each of our God Presences, we vow to love and honor that Marriage.

Let us now invoke the Legions of Light throughout Infinity to assist us in fulfilling that vow.

Legions of Light, cleanse, purify and transmute all experiences of imbalance we have ever been through that have caused us to fear, doubt, distrust or resist the Divine Balance of our Father-Mother God within us. Open our Hearts to full breadth and allow us to FEEL and KNOW the Truth of Reverence for ALL Life.

Through this holy process, we are each born anew. We are able to "see with new eyes and hear with new ears." We hear the voice of our God Selves, and Awaken to the Divine Guidance that has always been there for us.

We now realize with a new clarity that we are creating our own realities through our thoughts, words, actions and feelings. We are NOT just the victims of circumstances beyond our control.

We are Beloved Sons and Daughters of God. We are co-creators in our Earthly experience and ALL that our Father-Mother God has is ours.

And so it is. I Am, I Am, I Am.
