Sharing a journey without losing the thread…. ~ Kathleen Ann

All who look to their hearts have the answers…The
key that ends search…..begins the hope of peace…………One Earth..
 

Sharing a journey without losing the thread….. 

My reason for the purchase of a computer, simple. I had a desire to write…I
acquired the basic skills which was all I needed in order to make writing easier. My
life had at last reached a place that gave me physical time needed to commit to
writing…Time which previously had been dominated in the search for my youngest
son, who for for reasons of his own had disappeared for almost nine
years….Christmas 2006 he arrived at my house…Knowing he was safe is not an easy
emotion to put into words.It almost felt like the pinnacle of my life had been
fulfilled…My desire to write was not to write my life story but more to share
something of a journey in life….My son stayed with me and for him I acquired the
internet. As I started to write a strange and mysterious thing happened, It was as
If the words that I typed were not just my own,  but a guiding force helping me…I
started to type words in google and felt instinctively drawn to having an
astrology/numerology report done, both of which has never either interested me or
even entered my head before.I am a cautious person and not easily led but the urge
was to great for me to ignore… The journey from that day showed me the path to
many answers needed..So that I could understand the various changes I was
experiencing…And to many spiritual people who had much knowledge to
share…………
 
As a spiritual person seeking answers I always felt a void in life, no matter what I
achieved in the material world nothing satisfied the void, nothing of this world
made sense..or..not in the human sense anyway…Nature, mother Earth, the skies,
that was a very different matter…I worked hard and achieved the goals that society
had installed in me…Still the void loomed …It was only when I was true to myself
I found answers and inner peace…and you….I now understand and listen to the
guidance of my inner voice …All who look to their hearts have the answers…The
key that ends search…..begins the hope of peace…………One Earth..
 
The luminous Garden is a wonderful peaceful haven. Where thoughts can be planted and
watered..I sometimes close my eyes and listen to the music of the flutes and feel my
spirit lift in new hope…
Many thanks Rainy for giving us the opportunity to plant many thought seeds…………
My prayer today is to plant the seeds of kindness to all life, for all
life……..kak……………..

EARTH: ASSISTING IN HER TRANSITION ~ Kiara Windrider

By Kiara Windrider (February 2000)
tc “18. Earth Work and the Dragons
One of the things I keep hearing from the ascended masters and the councils of light is how important we are to them. They keep reminding us that without us to serve as anchors in physical form, they could do nothing. In fact, they go on to say, many of us have ascended in other cycles, and are here now to promote a planetary ascension. We are already part of the planetary councils of light, participating in these councils in our higher bodies, then acting on our own behalf in bodies of matter.
A major passion for me is facilitating planetary healing work. Many pieces have come together over the years as to how this can be done in an effective manner, some of which I would like to share briefly here.
The first thing I realized is that if I wished to speak on behalf of the Earth and assist in her healing, I needed to develop a relationship with her. I needed to experience her as a conscious, living being. Indigenous people everywhere have always known this. The Earth was their Mother. They were part of her body, and knew how to attune to her consciousness, the “spirit that moves through all things”.
The split created in modern civilization between spirit and matter, or Heaven and Earth, underscored by the ancient roots of religious orthodoxy, effectively cut us off from this profound realization. Much of my earlier spiritual seeking was influenced by this misperception. It did not really matter what happened to the Earth or what happened to my body. In fact, I believed these were an inferior aspect of creation, an obstacle in my path of enlightenment. It was all “maya”, or illusion. From this point of view, ascension was simply an escape from the burden of having to incarnate in the wheel of karma.
How sad that I could not allow myself to enjoy nature’s beauty for its own sake! How unfortunate that in my quest for the ultimate I cut myself off from the greatest of life’s mysteries, which were right under my very nose! I had no concept of the fairies and nature spirits that surrounded me everywhere, of the great dragons that lived in the deeps, of the mighty elementals and mountain spirits, or of Mother Gaia calling to me in her infinite gentleness and beauty to wake up and smell her roses.
As I started to realize how much I had missed, I began to spend time in nature, and allowed myself to be taught. I learned in solitude and silence. I learned about balance and about harmony. I learned about the cycles and seasons of creation. I learned about the mystery of my own body, and to communicate with my body elemental. And I learned to communicate with the elemental consciousness of nature, with Gaia.
I learned that communicating with nature was about developing a relationship with my own body elemental, for he is always in communication with all other elemental consciousness in the intricate web of life. I learned to ask questions, and then listen as the response formed itself in the language centers of my mind. I learned to trust these responses and act on information I received, even when it was sometimes different from what I expected with my rational mind. Above all, I learned that communing with nature had to do with holding an attitude of appreciation and quiet joy, of open-heartedness and wonder, and of gratitude. For this is the attitude that our gentle Earth Mother holds for us, patiently waiting for us to grow out of our childish ways.
Earth speaks to us through the body elemental. Elemental consciousness is unified throughout nature, and so as we get to know our elemental, we realize that we are not separate from the Earth. There is a holographic unity. Our chakra systems and acupuncture meridians reflect the chakras and meridians of the Earth. The Ka channels and axiatonal lines of the human body also have terrestrial and celestial analogs. Our emotions are attuned to the emotional body of the Earth. Our thoughts and intentions are linked with the consciousness fields of Earth.
We are not only holographically linked with our planetary bodies but also with our galactic bodies and our cosmic bodies. When we align with our unified presence on the vertical axis, we find that we also begin to link up to these alternate holograms of ourselves. We find that the stars in the far-flung galaxies become the cells of our galactic body, and conversely, that each cell within our physical bodies is an entire universe in itself. Not only is this true on a single timeline, but we begin to experience how we are connected to past, future, and parallel aspects of reality as well.
An ascended master lives in this awareness, and I caught a small glimpse of it while swimming with the whales. We can each have access to these holographic states of awareness as we come into unification with the various aspects of our being.
So how can our work benefit from this information? On one level, as we each come into unity within ourselves, we begin to transmit a frequency of light that brings everything around us into higher resonance. We do not even have to be consciously aware of this. Wherever we go, whatever we do, there is an awakening to greater light. One strong coherent intention can overcome much weak incoherent static. I believe that if there was only one soul incarnate on this planet who held absolute purity and coherence in his or her being, the entire Earth would instantly be healed!
Another thing we can begin to do is to consciously unify our intentions and our energy fields, linking up in circles to create a unified group soul, then expanding this in larger and larger circles until we have linked to the planetary soul. We each have energy fields, which holographically link with the energy fields of the Earth. The tube of light that runs through our bodies connecting Earth and Heaven is the same tube of light that runs through the Earth’s polar axis connecting galactic and solar forces. There are specific ways we can learn to link these fields and then seed the consciousness fields of the Earth with higher codes and intent.
I spoke earlier about the chakras and meridian flows within the Earth’s body. In ancient England these were known as ley lines. Australian Aborigines called them song lines. In ancient China they were known as the dragon paths. The Hopis referred to them as cobwebs within the Earth. When these lines of force flow freely, the planet’s vibrational frequency is strong and she experiences balance and vitality. When they become congested she gets sick. Needless to say, she has seen healthier times.
Our planetary meditations and ceremonies, our activations of sacred sites and portals, our intentions for peace and beauty, are all helping to open up these congested pathways. Some time ago, I was also shown another way to assist Earth in her clearing process.
Eons ago, when Earth was young, there were beings of vast elemental consciousness who helped in the creation and maintaining of our world. They were the dragons, not to be confused with the mythical caricatures of that same name which Western Christianity has produced. One day, in a planetary healing group that I was facilitating, one of these dragons made an appearance.
I shall never forget this first time that Dragon asked to come through. It was a young dragon. As he stepped into my energy field I experienced a massive jolt of pure elemental power which was at the same time surprisingly gentle. He said that the dragons had been asleep for a long time, and that now they were starting to wake up. When the “Elohim” or creator gods first designed Earth, it was the dragons that helped direct the vast energies of earth, water, fire, and wind into the cauldrons of creation. Then they retreated into the deeps and went into hibernation, knowing they were to wake up at the end of the Age to help birth the next one.
Well, they are waking up now. Experiencing this dragon was like rubbing a magic lamp and finding a genie. He took his time checking our energy fields before deciding we could be trusted. And then once he made his decision, he told us that we could ask for anything we wished, and he would make it happen. He spoke of his love for Mother, and that his mission was to protect her and to see her transition into the Age to come.
As we continued talking with Dragon, we asked him how we could best assist him in nurturing the Earth. He said we could instruct him to clear the dragon paths that were congested, particularly the ones that had been used with harmful intent. He also said that many dragons were still feeling quite lethargic, for they hadn’t quite woken up yet, and we could assist them in this by calling them awake, and also bringing in the rays of the Sun (solar flare activity?) He said that as more Earth-lovers began to communicate with the dragons, the transition into the next Age would be smoother and quicker. He said they were capable of clearing electromagnetic and astral pollution in ways we were not aware of, and would welcome the invitation to do so. He said that their ability to assist us in healing the Earth was immense, limited only by our own ability for creative intention. I got the feeling they were truly genie-like, and was grateful for the deep heart connection I experienced with Dragon.
I share this here because I believe it is time now for us to be working together. We can call upon the dragons of fire, earth, air, and water as we do our planetary work. The dragons have been exploited by those with harmful intent in the past, and they will no longer allow that. Therefore, they will check out our hearts and intentions very carefully before choosing to ally with us. If we do ally together, they can be allies indeed! I also feel I need to convey a warning on the dragons’ behalf for those who would use them for intent other than love. Their power for good is great. But you don’t want to mess with them.
There is an interface between the planetary grid, Christ consciousness grid, and the ascension grid, which correspond to various dimensional realities of Mother Earth. These three grids are axiatonally related, and as we work with the “dragon points” that comprise the major nodes within these grids, we assist in clearing out negativity and activating the “merkabah” or lightbody vehicles of the Earth. This in turn raises the vibrational frequency of Earth in preparation for the Shift that is to occur.
As we move towards the fourth-dimensional Shift we can call on the assistance of the dragons, whales, nature kingdoms, angels, ascended masters, and galactic federations of light to energize these dragon points for a minimum of disruption during the transition. As we might expect, many of these are located at planetary “hot spots”.
May we continue seeding the light grids of the Earth with our highest intentions for her healing and ascension.

Conversation with Time ~ Essence

Conversation with Time
A Gift

Time came for me
But I did not go.
I told him, “You limit my beauty and the things I should know”.

He spoke words of illusion
He held fast to his lines
He said, “You have no choice; I am your Master. I am Time”.

I retorted, “I agree, Once you held rule;
but vibrancy changes, I’ve outgrown you.
With respect I do thank you; as Master you have taught me well.
But I stand now at the Door of the Void, so I must bid you farewell”.

The corner of his eye instantly held a soft tear. “How will I exist without you?
No one will remember I’m here”.

“Great Teacher,” I queried, “Why do you weep?”
There are still so many who worship at your feet.
I am only one of the masses serving you.
My presence can mean nothing to someone with as grand and expansive a view”.

The Grand Master Time, wiped away his tear,
then related knowledge beyond the illusion in his care.
“I have known since my inception this juncture one day would appear.
Yet now with its passage, I find, I’m saddened it’s here”.

“Is this not what you have worked for these many eons past?
Is the reality of your illusion not something we should recognize and allow to elapse?”

This…
 of the Master of Time I did ask.

“Oh yes dear one, what you speak is all truth.
Yet know you this;
When you turn from me, I will miss the presence of you”.

“Great Teacher, you know very well,
from here to infinity do all things dwell.”
“I see now this is only a trial.
You play with my emotions, hoping my journey I’ll forget
and continue here at this point, for yet another while”.

My teacher smiled then gave his reply,
“My Glorious Student, you have studied hard and unraveled my myth.
Equals we are now;
and my pleasure it has been, this Universe to traverse through you with”.

He continued,
“Is true; past, present and future never existed in kind;
they simply appeared as thoughts held in each beings mind”.

I nodded in agreement, then offered my hand,
“Thank you my kindred for seeing me to this new land”.

“Pass through the door into the Void and on to your next learning realm.
For there too”, he assured me, “sits a dear friend, manning the helm”.

I turned, and then…through the door into the Void I stepped;
My consciousness expanding as from Universe to Universe I leapt.

“Follow me; come with me my kindred,” was the message I sent back from the source.
But Time stood guardian at the entrance, of course.

My once faithful teacher answered my joyful plea.
“You were not the first to pass through.
Find the others like thee”.

He advised me;
“Take my word, worry not of your kindred you see trapped with me here.
For they are still swaddled in my Illusion; as you now see very clear”.

“In their proper space they will exist wholly with you there.
Yet not until they too discard the Veil of Illusion of Time they still wear”.

Ben Stein on God’s presence in America

 The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning  

 Commentary:  My confession:     

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.  And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees..  I don’t feel threatened.  I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are:  Christmas trees. 

It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, ‘Merry Christmas’ to me.  I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto.  In fact, I kind of like it  It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn’t bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .  If people want a crèche, it’s just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. 
I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.  I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.  I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country.  I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren’t allowed to worship God as we understand Him?  I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too.   But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:  This is not intended to be a joke;  it’s not funny, it’s intended to get you thinking.
 
Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her ‘How could God let something like this happen?’ (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, ‘I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.  And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?’

In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.  I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.  Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.  The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.  And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock’s son committed suicide).  We said an expert should know what he’s talking about.  And we said OK.

Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.  I think it has a great deal to do with ‘WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.’

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell  Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.  Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.  Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.  If not then just discard it… no one will know you did.  But, if you discard this thought process, don’t sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. 

My Best Regards,  Honestly and respectfully, Ben Stein 

I decided to post this commentary by Ben Stein because it addresses another way the American culture has gone out of balance. Probably anyone getting as far into this site to read the blog will agree with his view.  I do, but I also think about the “founding principle of religious freedom”, where was it when it came to the people who already lived here? The human behavior of conquest, annihilation, suppression of other humans and other life, it still goes on. What are we going to do about it? What are we willing to give up, to change, in order for it to be better for future generations?
Today I was thinking about John Lennon’s song Imagine, every line is great. This stanza calls to me right now:   
Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for,  And no religion too,  Imagine all the people, Living life in peace…
The Luminous Garden site is about visioning a better world, visioning is good however ACTION is needed too.  Please consider what you/we can do, Lets share it and lets do it.  I’ll post a page for ideas send them to rainy@theluminousgarden.comThank you, Namaste, Rainy
