Spiritual love, a gift from the Father, tries hard to shake me free from the mother persona I’ve acquired on Earth. I am female, and a mother of five Earthlings. I trained myself over the course of many years to watch out for these little ones, to hover over them, helping, guiding, and loving them. In this process I gained knowledge of many fears as I struggled to keep my children safe.

I need to relieve myself of these fears, and yet I loathe to let go. I cling to the silly idea that somehow my fear will keep me from danger, and instead, the fear keeps me from total enlightenment.

The greatest fear, and the one I’ve had the hardest time letting go of, is the fear of death. How deeply ingrained has this fear been, to infiltrate my trust in the universe, to stab me with a sword of darkness? When did I receive this fear? When did I allow it in?

Fear of death does nothing for me. It only keeps me from oneness with the Divine Light.

It is a fact that my existence here on Earth (I like to call it Terra) is simply a gift of the Divine Will. If Divine Will didn’t want me here, I could be eliminated in an instant.

The fact that you are still breathing means that there’s still a reason for you to be here. There is nothing to be afraid about. We all exist on the basis of Divine Grace.

I have done terrible things in this lifetime, for which I am deeply regretful and for which my spirit sighs with sorrow. Those things were done out of ignorance. I was not aligned properly with Divine Spirit. I did not know the consequences of my ignorant actions. I beg for forgiveness and know the most difficult forgiveness must come from my inner self.

I asked Divine Light for reasons why I’m still alive. Here’s what I was told.
Reason #1 - You are beautiful.
Reason #2 - We need you. You are a beautiful part of what is.

That’s all I was told. I guess I was hoping for some kind of precognition of some great benefit I’d give humanity in the future. I didn’t get that. I just got Divine Love and Acceptance. For this, I am grateful. I know I don’t deserve to be here. But Divine Grace sustains and keeps me here anyhow. Gratitude is the only realistic response.

Can you relate?

This world, our Beloved Mother, is now being tested by letting more of Father (the God-light) in. This is the result of letting the two merge.

Human consciousness is the result.

So before this, was I unconscious? The errors we make are due to ignorance and lack of spiritual education. The more we spread spiritual love consciousness, the lovelier our world will be.

Human consciousness is generally a much lower vibration of consciousness than is the Divine Consciousness, however we can alter that with meditation on raising our vibrations to resonate with love consciousness… and then expand that outward to share the bliss and joy with all human beings in our home, in our town, in our region… keep expanding outward, ever outward, include all the people of the world. As individuals we can have a positive effect on others involved in discord, even if they be on the other side of the planet!

The earth now rises up to become enlightened - one mind-spirit, one heart, at a time.

I recently listened to an illuminating conversation about Atlantis, between George Noory and Frank Joseph Hoff on Coast to Coast AM, that mind-bending, sometimes illuminating all-night talk radio show I subscribe to via the Streamlink feature.

Hoff stated that the area of the Indian Ocean once was occupied by Lemurian Atlantis, a continent that was the location of paradise (Eden) and which was destroyed by flood 11,600 years ago. This information comes from the studies of Brazilian Dr. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, a scientist and educator whose most recent job, prior to his death, was that of a professor of nuclear engineering.

This information about Lemuria / Atlantis (See Dr. Nunes dos Santos’ book: Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found) brought my attention to ancient civilizations of India and Indonesia, where there are temple and other buildings dating from pre-history, that may very well have been created by Atlanteans either before the cataclysm or afterwards - they may have been created by survivors of the ancient disaster.

It seems clear that if any places contain the markings of a culture so ancient to be created by the Lemurians, it would be India and Indonesia. Dr. Nunes dos Santos stated in his FAQ that “Lemurian Atlanteans colonized the nearby region of India, which became its ‘twin’ and partner. In mythical terms, we can say that Lemuria-Indonesia was the Mother, and that Atlantis-India was the Father of all the other civilizations,” and that “Atlantis created a worldwide empire, and had colonies the world over.” This accounts for locations such as Bimini, perhaps, where a road was found underwater.

Today I came across SarvaShiva, a blog with wisdom from the Rig Veda. In Rig Veda as-is the blogger suggests “it would be worth learning Sanskrit to connect with our ancients in their language and syntax.” I have been considering this for a while now, ever since I listened to that radio show about Atlantis. I’ve been listening to Indian music including the beautiful mantra singing of Deva Premal and Sacred Movement: White Swan Yoga Masters Vol. 1., and yearn to understand more of the Sanskrit.

I have done the research for the best book to start with, and after revealing my intent to my partner, Bob, (surprisingly) he told me to get the book because he wants to learn Sanskrit too! I will keep you posted on how that goes for us.

This is the book I’m buying: Introduction to Sanskrit, Part 1. It is said to be an excellent primer and has good reviews on Amazon. The concept of learning such an ancient language appeals to me. First, it attracts me because I have a desire to know how the ancient people related to one another. Second, it is the language of the mantras and will help me understand and identify myself with them better. Third, I have heard that one way to keep the mind young and active in old age is to learn a language, and I am at that age where this kind of mental exercise could be very, very helpful. So Sanskrit it is!

I used to be very into astrology. I had books to tell me how to create the charts, an ephemeris, and even the special papers with pre-drawn charts to fill in. I got pretty good at it and learned all the houses, signs, and symbols and what they meant. I could tell you what all the planets, aspects, and everything else meant. This was in the days before computerized astrology programs made it easy to get the information.

I’m aware that certain signs are considered to be more compatible than others. And after 55 years of living (my 55th birthday is today) I’ve got this to say about that.

Astrologically speaking, signs of each element are supposed to be compatible with each other.

Fire Element Signs: Aires, Leo, Saggitarius

Air Element Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Earth Element Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Water Element Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Also Fire and Air signs are said to make good friends, and Earth and Water signs, the same.

…

Okay, I’m here to tell you, it isn’t that simple. I was born under the sun sign, Cancer. I have had a number of relationships throughout my life, and unfortunately never found the perfect person for me unless this turns out to be Bob, who has been my boyfriend for just over a year now.

My first three relationship experiences were with Scorpio men. All three of them were supposed to be compatible, yet they turned out to be toxic relationships. After that I quit caring about finding someone compatible. My last three relationships have been with an Aquarius, a Capricorn, and a Saggitarius (Bob).

Each relationship had its good points, and bad, but I can honestly say the relationship with the Capricorn man was the easiest. He and I were almost exactly opposite on the sun sign chart - as he was born January 15 and I was born July 13. Although we got along great, we didn’t have a lot in common and that eventually convinced me to move on to find someone who wanted to do the same kinds of things I dream about doing. My Capricorn friend’s interests were never going to be the same as mine.

The relationship with the Aquarius was intriguing but had to end for my preservation of sanity. It wasn’t an easy relationship, but who said I want things to be easy? And I can say the same about my Saggitarius partner. His way of thinking is much different than mine, and I’m learning a lot by learning from him. I find that when I pay attention and try to take in his suggestions (and philosophical Saggitarians have plenty of them) I benefit. I am changing - not by being with people of my own Element, but by seeking people of other elements to teach me who they are and how they think.

…

Astrological star sign compatibility is much more complex than the chart above suggests. It is based on which houses your planets are in, and how the planets aspect those of your partner’s. And even if you think you’ve got the perfect person, astrologically speaking, you may run into trouble. There are too many variables. Unless you are an expert, or have access to one, astrology is not a good indicator of who to choose as a partner. Remember me with my three Scorpio guys, none of which were good for me in the long run.

…

A better way of choosing a partner is to find someone who has the same hopes and dreams as you do. And know that finding this person is luck. You have to be in the right place at the right time. You can ask the universe to help you, and intend to find the person who is right for you. For example, place yourself into a quiet, centered frame of mind, and say, “I intend that I will find the best partner to spend my life with, someone who I’ll be happy with, who will be good for me, who will encourage me to fulfill my highest potentials in life; insofar as it is for the highest and best good of all involved, so be it - and so it is.”

…

I’ve read a lot of astrology books and guides. My favorites which I go back to again and again are the ones written by Linda Goodman: Sun Signs, Love Signs, and Relationship Signs. Though the compatibility guides can’t tell you whether a relationship will last forever, it will give a pretty good idea of some of the aspects of what it will be like.

This is a simple five-step method for clearing emotional distress.

1. Get some rest. If you haven’t slept recently, lay down and rest for a few minutes. Give yourself a break.

2. Relax. Rest until your muscles start relaxing. Relax them intentionally if need be, by sending the command, “relax” to your various muscle groups starting with your feet and moving up to arms, shoulders, and head.

3. Breathe. A simple 4/8 breathing pattern will do the job. Breathe in through your nose to the count of four, and then purse your lips and breathe slowly out through your mouth to the count of eight. Do this at least five to ten times in your relaxed condition.

4. Rejoice. Breathing leads naturally to rejoicing because you are alive, and the breathing reminds you of that. You are a point of consciousness using a physical body to navigate through an evolving moment of time. Forget all your sorrows as you rejoice in being here now. Center yourself in this awareness of who you really are, and you will be able to make more appropriate decisions about how to feel and react in the situations you’re enduring.

Be grounded, knowing that your physical body is part of Mother Earth, and your consciousness is a gift of Father Spirit, implanted in the part of earth you occupy. You are here for a purpose, alive on earth, and in this, you have the reason to rejoice. You know who you are, and you are equal to and independent of all others, though through Father Spirit and Mother Earth we are all related.

5. Be clear of all emotional struggles. If something doesn’t feel good - it is a struggle. Don’t be afraid to eliminate cording between you and anyone else involved. If a relationship is good enough to keep, it will naturally build new cords of love as time passes. Don’t be afraid to start over with the people you love and are attached to.

To eliminate all old cords, many recommend cutting them mentally, however I prefer to dissolve them. The reason I do this is that cutting cords leaves traces of them wrapped around your emotional body. Instead, visualize the cords dissolving naturally, dissipating into nothingness, and be sure the dissolving reaches to the ends of any cording wrapped around you. In this way you free yourself from all attachments and come back into your own power. You become your own leader and your higher self, aware of its reality and conscious presence on this earth, guides you to appropriate decisions and harmonious emotions.

This came to me in a flash of inspiration and I wrote it down. As soon as I had a need for it - I tried it - and it worked for me. I hope you’ll find it helpful should you be dealing with depression or other difficult emotional conditions.

If emotional distress continues, have a look at a few of my other sites: EFT Joy and EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT has been very beneficial to me and I recommend it for everyone. If I were ever to actually set up a healing practice, I’d be using EFT and dowsing along with my other energy healing techniques.
