We Are All Related

Journey of the DNA

The Christmas season always invites a connection to one's family, generally biological family, whether relatives are close or estranged.

In the Age of Technology, the quest to find out more about one's genealogy has taken people down some very interesting roads. Through DNA testing, true biological parents are easily determined. Adopted and sperm donor parents are sometimes sought and found online, or through other sources in a quest to answer questions about one's genetic code and more. People abducted/taken in childhood are finding their way home (this is also a metaphor for the human biogenetic experiment).

The more we search the more we understand how far back our roots go and how connected we all are, especially to famous bloodlines. Websites like Ancestry.com is one of many that help trace one's lineage.

Everything in this program is patterns.

Did you know all 44 U.S. presidents have carried European royal bloodlines into office? 34 have been genetic descendants from just one person, Charlemagne, the brutal eighth century King of the Franks. 19 of them directly descended from King Edward III of England. In fact, the presidential candidate with the most royal genes has won every single American election.

George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. president, and Barack Obama, the 44th president, are 11th cousins through Samuel and Sarah Soole Hinckley of 17th-century Massachusetts. George W. Bush and his opponent in the 2004 U.S. Presidential election John Kerry share a common ancestor in Edmund Reade (1563­1623) and his wife Elizabeth Cooke. Bush and Kerry are 9th cousins, twice removed.

How about Obama being related to Sarah Palin? Barack Obama related to Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and George W. Bush, ancestry website claims - LA Times - October 13, 2010

Many celebrities descend from royal lineage. For example Tom Hanks is a descendant of King John of England, who reigned from 1199-1216. Tom Hanks is not alone in this royal lineage. Other famous celebrities who share this bloodline include Ernest Hemingway, the famous novelist and writer, actor Steve McQueen, "The King" Elvis Presley, and actresses Glenn Close and Sissy Spacek.

Here's the thing ... bloodlines and genetics follow specific patterns and attract souls within them to play out key roles in history - or its one soul playing many roles simultaneously, as past history has shown us.

We are all related at this level of the game as well as to our ET counterparts in other programs. They are not really ET but you and ME. At the end of the day - and the game - one soul is playing all the roles and is now calling them back to source.

As the hourglass (our class) of time in our DNA experiment runs out,



more than ever we want to discover what makes us tick (tock)!

This is all a consciousness hologram.

What Rich Older Women Prefer

I may not be a rich older woman in today's world of millionaires, but I am strongly independent and can speak for other women in my age group who are like me - friends and clients. Older women do not want to be caretakers. They want what younger women want - what we all quest for at any age - romance, a man who is sexually able, is fairly healthy, independent, can embrace life, understands his emotional baggage, is open to all kinds of conversations, and most of all is fun. Gentleness and kindness in a man are very important vs. the man who carries anger, frustration, and rage. Why do we look for slightly younger men ... because they are more open, and sexually more attractive. I couldn't imagine dating a man my age, as most have issues, are too set in their ways, and most likely do not get what I am here for, just say they do.

Rich Women Prefer Attractive Older Men   Live Science - December 13, 2010

Some have already dubbed it the George Clooney Effect: Psychologists in Scotland have found that as women become more financially independent, they want an older, more attractive male partner. Studies have previously found that women place greater emphasis on whether a man can provide for them, while men place more importance on good looks. The new study revealed that as women earn more and become more independent, their tastes actually change. The finding suggests that greater financial independence gives women greater confidence in choosing their partner. Instinctive preferences for material stability and security become less important, physical attractiveness becomes more important, and the age of a woman¹s partner also increases.

Emotional Themes 2010

When I read people whose destinies seem emotionally bleak, it makes me grateful that I am aware of what lies ahead for the hologram. Here is one more example of how to understand the way our hologram works ... Think about any hologram you've seen in a film or on TV. Something happens and instantly the hologram disappears. That's how it's done in the magic and alchemy of consciousness. Now ask yourself, how close are we to our hologram ending ... feel it ... see it ... then you'll get it, if not today ... somewhere in the sands of time.

So ... did you heal your issues this year after working hard on it? Did your situation improve? Did you find love? lose love? searching?

Emotions

One year ago we talked about the dysfunctionality of the human biogenetic experiment increasing as the grids collapse. Has that happened around you? Have you changed the way you think or your patience level with those who are dysfunctional? Stress is changing reality.

Holidays, particularly Christmas, trigger emotions in people they have suppressed much of the year, particularly loneliness. There is 'being alone', and then there is loneliness, a feeling of not connecting with anyone. People fill up the spaces and time with fun things, for that is the best way to overcome negative emotions before that manifest at a physical level in one's body.

They say that if you think positively, good thinks will happen. To think positively is to balance the chemistry of your brain which reacts by attracting something positive, but if that balance is not maintained, good things get sabotaged and move away. It's never easy.

The next theme "Couples': 'Meeting a person who will take care of you, be there for you and share life with you in a loving way' ... this theme is still in the grids, will remain there till the end, and upsets people who want to believe this will happen for them, and it never does, or it doesn't last - reality check needed.

I have meet many couples who share life in a loving way ... but not everyone is programmed to that end. Most people become partners with someone they can play out their issues or dramas with until they can't take any more ... then leave. Know your emotional boundaries.

Couples who tell me they live apart and meet for fun and great sex, are often the most balanced and happiest of all as there is no feeling of being controlled - a powerful emotion that surfaces when two people have different needs.

There are great things to do out there that nurture the soul and enlighten, if only a monetary fix. Close your eyes ... Visualize the perfect place for you to visit. It doesn't have to be a power grid point on the planet as the energies for most are contaminated by all the humans who have been there to heal - they are not the same as they were decades ago. Now make a plan to visit your special place or one like it in 2011.

Friends and Synchronicities

Sunday I was drawn to update several Mythology files that include Gargoyles, Griffins and Sylphs (angel cloud formations).

Monday I blogged about Mercury Retrograde starting today (December 10-30). Mercury Retrograde affects transportation and communication. It means Repetitions and Delays and often Indecisiveness. The God Mercury was Hermes, the Trickster, Merlin the Magician, Thoth, Isis, to name a few in an endless list.

Thursday Afternoon

Reruns of the "The Colette Baron-Reid Show can be heard on Saturday. Colette welcomed, Ellie Crystal, a psychic, medium, author, lecturer, teacher, and media personality. You may best know her as the creator and author of the popular website, Crystalinks.com, which receives over one million unique visitors each day. Ellie describes Crystalinks as a compendium of thousands of integrated files merging science and science fiction to create a unique journey that allows you to heal issues and awaken consciousness.

At the start of the show, Colette used her Angel Cards to bring messages to one of the listeners. At the same time, my attention was drawn to the clouds moving over the bridge, forming an angel, like the Sylph images. Another listener described photographing a giant cross in the sky. As Colette and I read another woman, I saw the woman with many burdens looking like Atlas who held the world on his shoulders.

Thursday evening, I watched the History Channel documentary series Angels and Aliens which should rerun again over the next few days if you missed it, then posted on YouTube. The show featured many of the things I had recently blogged about.

From 1995-1997, when Crystalinks began, I wrote about Ancient Aliens and such, but removed my theories as I didn't want Crystalinks to be another website with what one might call, channeled material, filled with Woo-woo stuff. After removing the information, Z told me that when the time was right I would repost my theories as the world would be ready to understand. It is all in preparation for what lies just ahead.

Little by little, the information was seeded into the human consciousness experiment, as people move past the Healing Grid and need 'the next'. Media helped with films such as The Matrix Trilogy, The 13th floor, and Inception, to name a few.

On April 20, 2010 the History Channel began a documentary series called Ancient Aliens - old themes presented with the latest technologies and interviews with well informed speakers most of who I know. These researchers and authors are spot on.

This was the door I needed to reincorporate my theories and let them sift through Crystalinks as guided. Crystalinks' theme for 2010 was the merging of science and science fiction - and so it is coming to pass in everything we experience as we quickly move toward the end. Never forget that reality is myth, math, metaphor, and magic, and that everything experienced falls into those categories.

Highlights of "Angels and Aliens" --- Most people believe in angels - winged visitors from god - the name in Hebrew translated to mean Messengers (Mercury).

I'm no Angel - but I certainly feel like a Messenger.

Angels have been part of human consciousness hologram since its beginning.

Many early depictions of angels in the bible show them without wings. Wings evolved later as another awakening metaphor. "We come from higher frequency consciousness, and soon return to that from which we were created." It's all that ascension stuff - yet nothing about that feels real to me - like we're being played. The program ends, then poof, ego identity is gone, just the soul spark remains, if that. I can live with that.

In the duality of things, there were good angels and fallen angels, some of whom mated with woman on Earth to created an alleged race of giants called Nephilim. I guess once in 3D certain urges come over you ... let's mate. I wonder what term the Angles called it when they hung out and made plans.

Also pictured on the show was Atlas holding the burden of the metaphoric world on his shoulders. Also ... all sorts of beings from what is looked upon as an Angelic hierarchy, (why is there always a hierarchy?) as well as weird hybrid beings, Gargoyles, Griffins, and more. Hybrid message ... "Reality is a biogenetic experiment" - in our timeline linked to the Nazi and alien Gray biogenetic experiments.

There are no gods - just consciousness. Angels are not gods, just humanoids or hybrid beings, Watchers if you will, who come and go, take many forms, and have always been part of the hologram affecting its final outcome at this level of consciousness.

It would appear that humans have spent forever trying to please their fictitious gods who always seem to get pissed off in the end. Is that still going on today?

Are there both good and bad aliens ... or should we think outside the box and understand that none of this is real, may never have happened, and is all about experience through various encoded belief systems all of which have failed. I know you believe in balance in duality ... but you know the deal ... it can't happen.

Remember... it is not planet Earth that is evolving with you in it. It is the entire hologram that is ending ... the research project complete. I know some of you will get it and others won't - but that's cool as long as the information is seeded at this level so those who need to hear it understand how close we are.

"Ancient Aliens" is a great show and I love the guys .... But next comes the real truth ... It is all an illusion created by Mercury, Merlin the Magician, the Magic, the Magi, It is all Thoth (thought), Z, and consciousness related ... as we are all related to everything. We are not here to save the planet or the world. We have better fish to fry (Jesus metaphor).

Friday BTR - today Lisa and I talk about HARMONY, the new book by Prince Charles who believes in the connectedness of everything in the Universe.

Friday from 2-2:30 pm Eastern Time it's back to Ellie's World Blog Talk Radio and an interview with Lisa Sharkey. Lisa sent me a copy of the book. It has such great energy, I made it a table top book in my living room. The book goes into sacred geometry among other topics discussed on Crystalinks.

-

Also on Friday - Must See TV - Sanctuary on the Syfy channel. They are doing a story having to do with a holographic city and the Hollow Earth. If indeed entities exist below the surface of the planet, they too would live not in molten rock but in space ships. And as the Tectonic plates are breaking - it is either by their doing, a knowing that the program is over so they no longer have to monitor from below, or they emerge as the plates naturally break apart. Then again, everything is by sacred design, so ... out you go fellas .. the time is now!

Music, Music, Everywhere

Monday, the musical image above seemed to follow me all day - from something that went by in a TV commercial to something online, to something I drove past on a billboard as I went about my day. I certainly was attracting the image for a reason, and it made me laugh. Often I try to figure out why I keep seeing something, but not on this day. I wanted to 'play' along and see where it lead me.

In the evening, I closed my eyes and watched, with the seemingly innocence of a child, as the image reappeared, becoming headphones that I was to put on ... and so I envisioned this. Somewhere in space-time, or time-space, I could see myself lying down, relaxed and listening to music in much the same way. But as I listened to the tones, I could use them to create holograms of sound, light and color. It all seemed so natural, as if I did it all the time, no sci fi feeling ... just something I did as one who has a job.

Then came a powerful feeling or remembrance ... someone would soon call my name and I would wake up not only from that job, but from this reality ... It swept over me in waves and I knew it to be true. My mind went back to an exercise I blogged about years ago, where you close your eyes, then someone calls your name and repeats it 3 times in a soft voice, " - - - - Wake up." Remember?

By 8:00 I decided to watch TV, assuming there was nothing on at that time, until .... I discovered 3 shows that were awesome. There was "The Sing-off", the Country Music Awards and the "Soul Train Awards". What to do as "Castle" and "Hawaii 5-0" would come on at 10:00? The solution - record them all and watch as time permitted. I have 3 large screen TV's and 3 cable boxes that record.

My personal favorite was the Soul Train Awards. There was Don Cornelius after all these years ... not to mention great talent both old and new. Was Soul Train part of your life growing up? It was a Saturday morning highlight for me, especially when my black best friend Louise would come over and we sing and danced with my 3 young daughters. My family was always into all things musical.

Soul Train was an American musical variety show that aired in syndication from October 1971 to March 2006. In its 35-year history, the show primarily featured performances by R&B, soul, and hip hop artists, although funk, jazz, disco, and gospel artists have also appeared.

On a commercial break from the Soul Train Awards, I flipped the dial to the CMA in Vegas, and watched Alan Jackson perform for thousands of people. I can't wait to watch the rest of the show as I grew up with a father who loved country and western music, took me to see the performers when in town, and has been a favorite since childhood. My mom was into Broadway, so we never missed a musical and I learned all the words of all the songs.

With all of the opera singers I have read in the past 3 decades, I have learned to appreciate good opera. I guess I could say I love it all ... though 50's Oldies remain my favorite, Doo op stuff!

As to The Sing-off much of it was lie watching Glee as multitalented students performed. There was one female lead singer in a Group called The 11th Hour, who belongs on Broadway. She was awesome and only in High School. She equalled Lea Michelle in talent, and is headed for stardom.

So now we go with Tuesday ... no music in my head today, just the sound of the traffic below and the silence of the Universe. It is very quiet out there today. If you like Syfy, "Eurika" and "Warehouse 13" return tonight.

On with the day ...

Monday Morning

Monday morning and freezing in the Big Apple as people scurry about for work and other things to start the week. The morning news mentioned that if you are gift shopping online for the holiday, be sure you can receive your items on time. Also bear in mind that Friday is the first day of Mercury Retrograde so please be careful about purchases and traveling. The key words for Mercury - the gods of Transportation and Communication - is Repetitions and Delays. The God Mercury was also Hermes who was the Trickster and Merlin the Magician. We could use a pinch of magic this year.

The 99ers

Here's the next pattern of the week - extended unemployment - 99 weeks and beyond. They are called the 99ers. This is what's been told to me by clients, not my opinion. Many have decided to use the two years as a time to stay home and do nothing, especially when their expenses are minimal. They consider the money a gift and believe that after being out of work for two years, a good job awaits their return. They do not wish to do part time work. None want to work again. Some have used the time to try one or more start-up businesses, but most are not doing well or never took off due to the recession. Some have invested in real estate to flip or resell after the housing market allegedly comes back ... or so they hope/think. Some are using assets to travel and quest for whatever adventure awaits them. The hologram is changing.

From Corporate To Creation

An interesting pattern has emerged reflecting educated corporate people, around the world, male and female, who have been triggered to seek answers to ancient mysteries mostly having to do with creation.

These are not the usual wounded souls who have to work on abuse issues to figure things out.

These souls understand their ability to create/manifest what is needed.

They have entered into what I call Practical Metaphysics.

They have no need to heal and help the world, or save souls.

They have a feeling of being triggered for something that has sat dormant since birth.

They know who they are at this time.

They come from all age groups, ethnic backgrounds, many are bi-lingual, well traveled, and catch on quickly.

They are awakening hard and fast and has to do with the timing of the program's closure.

None have problems with reality as an illusion - dreams and other experiences now making sense to them.

None believe that this reality evolves to another dimension wherein we maintain our ego identities - that's not possible.

So what makes them so special? They are a powerful force in moving consciousness, mostly because they have been doing it successfully all of their lives. Like everyone, they have an emotional component but they balance it with other factors that shape their lives and reality. They are moving consciousness in ways that is light years above those who believe they change the grids by meditating.

They awaken ... grasp the situation ... do what has to be done ... shifting everything into place at the end.

You know who you are.

Earthquake hits NY ... we are getting closer

Tuesday morning I was explaining to one of my clients that the Mid Atlantic Ridge is moving. It was one of the clients from my wake-up dream.

I dreamed about the details of my two morning clients. It should be interesting to see how this pans out. Update 5:00 ... Amazing as it seems, the details of the dream were spot on - from names, places, facts, etc. It's all about consciousness and time (grid) travel.

Wednesday I found the articles below. We are getting so close. On Monday I told George that earthquake activity is going to heat up again .... followed by a 6.9 in Japan and now this. At the time it happened, I was reading my client and explaining what is gig on with the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

Largest Quake in 18 Years Hits NYC Region   Live Science - December 1, 2010

A magnitude-3.9 earthquake rattled the New York City region Tuesday (Nov. 30), rocking into the history books as the biggest temblor to hit the area in 18 years, according to WNYC. The earthquake occurred at about 10:45 a.m. EST in the Atlantic Ocean some 82 miles (131 kilometers) south-southeast of Westhampton, NY, according to Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO). Earthquakes east of the Rocky Mountains, although less frequent than in the West, are typically felt over a much broader region, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Tuesday's quake caused no damage and didn't hurt anyone, with the U.S. Coast Guard saying there was no threat of a tsunami, according to WNYC.

E.T. found? (False) rumors swirl   MSNBC - November 30, 2010

Rumors and speculation are swirling on the Internet about the subject of a news conference to be carried live at 2 p.m. ET Thursday on NASA TV "to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe," NASA explains in its advisory. And that's about as much as the space agency is saying about the discovery right now. However, the advisory includes a list of the speakers for the briefing. That's what led to the online guessing game.

2011 ... The 11th Hour

Back in 1950, when I was 7 years old, the next event in an endless series of wars that forever plague humanity, began. It was called the Korean War and would last 3 years. People were scared. Concern was that it could escalate into another global conflict, WWII having ended just 15 years before. I remember the children wearing metal dog tags and shelter drills where an alarm signaled a time to hide under our desks.

And now 60 years later, as the US continues to fight in places most of us know little about - Afghanistan and Iraq - this all seems to be accelerating again, old memories returning.

On September 9, 2001, Ahmad Shah Massoud died in a suicide attack by two Arab suicide bombers in the Afghan province of Takhar. Two days later approximately 3,000 people died on U.S. soil in the attacks of September 11, 2001. Following the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government identified Osama Bin Laden alongside Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the faces behind them. When the Taliban refused to hand over Osama Bin laden to U.S. authorities and refused to disband Al Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, the U.S. and British air forces began bombing al-Qaeda and Taliban targets inside Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. On the ground, American and British special forces along with CIA Special Activities Division units ... continue

The Iraq War, Second Gulf War or Operation Iraqi Freedom was a military campaign that began on March 20, 2003, with the invasion of Iraq by a multinational force led by troops from the United States under the administration of President George W.

Prior to the invasion, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom asserted that the possibility of Iraq employing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threatened their security and that of their coalition/regional allies. In 2002, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that it was not in possession of weapons of mass destruction and cruise missiles ... continue

A U.S. supercarrier and South Korean destroyer took up position in the tense Yellow Sea on Sunday for joint military exercises that were a united show of force just days after a deadly North Korean artillery attack.
As tensions escalated across the region, with North Korea threatening another "merciless" attack, China belatedly jumped into the fray. Beijing's top nuclear envoy, Wu Dawei, called for an emergency meeting in early December among regional powers involved in nuclear disarmament talks, including North Korea.

Then we come to WikiLeaks and the desire within us to find out the truth about the chaos caused by those in power and control - the Powers That Be - New World Order -- Illuminati ... whatever title they go by. It's time to find out who's really running the show.

We were the children in 1950 ... we're adults now and it's time. 2011 ... the 11th hour!

For better worse ... and it looks like things are getting worse, it's time to hear the truth ... about everything, especially for us in the UFO community. What has transpired over the past 70 years and how reverse engineering and biogenetic experiments have changed the face of a reality that advanced by light years as if overnight. Inquiring minds ... not just want to know but should know... Military clients in both Afghanistan and Iraq say things are not what they seem, but we already know that. They say the release of these documents endangers countless lives. So, you ask, how man lives will be lost and harmed by perpetuating the lies? The truth hangs in the 'balance' as it always has ... and will be revealed as the program closes ... along with major surprises even you can't imagine. Sit back in your seat and watch it all unfold. Be active if so guided but know the bigger truth comes with the element of surprise and very soon.

It Could Happen Here... It Could Happen Anywhere

Computer meltdown leaves millions of Aussies without cash   PhysOrg - November 27, 2010

A freak computer glitch at Australia's biggest bank froze cash machines and left millions of people struggling to access their money on Saturday. National Australia Bank (NAB) said a corrupted file wiped out a huge number of transactions, including salary payments and transfers, and crashed some ATMs, angering many customers who were facing a weekend without money. Spokeswoman Meaghan Telford said NAB was opening branches on Saturday and Sunday and bringing in extra call-centre staff as technicians scrambled to fix the problem.

When the recession began in September 2008, I was advised to keep some money at home in case the banks collapsed. I blogged about it at the time because ... you never know. Now we see another reason to keep money at home, at least to cover one month's expenses.

The problem 'down under' will get straightened out, but can cause chaos in the lives of most of the people affected who were not prepared.

It brings to mind the fear created by the Y2K Problem. I blogged that it would not be a major problem. Was that really 11 years ago as we marched into the 21st century? So much has changed.

Sleep Apnea

If reality is consciousness than that which we consider sleep time is just as important as conscious awareness in this reality. Dream time is about working out issues, processing information, meeting souls on the other side, learning, is considered by some cultures to be the true reality, is not affected by time and space, and does not stop when we wake up here.

Okay .. dreams are important. Got it. So what happens to the body, mind, and soul when we don't sleep a required number of hours based on the body's needs? The results are devastating. This takes us to sleep disorders and a new article linking sleep apnea to weight. Read More ...

Tuesday Turmoil

Tuesday ... Lots of turmoil going on in the world today, as always. From Asia (North and South Korea and Cambodia), to Europe and just about anywhere you name, things are explosive. Monday night Dee, who is from Ireland, and I talked about the financial crisis there and how it's spreading across Europe. Dee's brothers, who live near her in San Francisco, are flying home as riots are expected.

You probably see all of these situations as more events in the news that will soon go away ... think again. Have any of the 2010 recession and other dramas been resolved? Is the economy really turning around?

High School Days

No ... this is not a trip down memory lane about my fun times in Lincoln High School or a promo for Glee.

As you know I taught Special Education in High School in the 1980's ... leaving by 1990 to work as a full time psychic and all that would embrace my life after that. In those years I taught at John Dewey High School in Brooklyn, a majestic school compared to the other high schools, with the largest campus of all. The energies were generally good, the students ready to learn. Some have actually found me in recent years and have come for readings.

By the time I quit teaching, everyone knew about my 'secret life/career' - the students asking about their destinies. Of course I never told them anything. A psychic should never talk to children without a parent present. Teens have always been way too volatile, so I never go there. A teen can change their mind, in a second - it's all about hormones and wanting to be empowered, respected, and understood. Wait ... isn't that what adult life is about too? Teen years are also about the onset of mental illness (18-20) but that's another blog.

Sunday I had brunch with Harold. Report ... UFO's sightings are up even in Brooklyn, abductions are down or just for contact, abductees moving forward in life as one cannot dwell forever unless mentally ill, tangible proof still not available and won't be until the end. So nothing is new...

After brunch ... I ran into a fellow teacher who told me something very surprising - there are plans to close Dewey High School. What set Dewey apart from the other high schools, back in the day, was the college-like campus, advanced programming, and more.

Waving signs and demanding that the city support John Dewey High School¹s programs and students, roughly 200 parents and alumni demonstrated Friday morning outside of the school¹s main gate on Avenue X, in a movement they call Fight Back Fridays. Once known as one of the 'most progressive experiments in education in the 20th century,' John Dewey is one of 47 city schools - including 27 high schools - that the Department of Education (DOE) is considering closing.

My friends have all retired from teaching, but there is something that hits the nostalgia button when you hear about a school closing. I am a teacher at heart, not a healer, but then again, there is an overlap. To be a teacher is to work with students who want to learn and move forward, not remain stuck in issues and ignorance. Students arrive in your life, at least in mine, when they are ready, then leave to find the rest of their answers and destinies. Teachers are catalysts who open consciousness to wondrous worlds. You evolve through knowledge which allows you the freedom to heal. Healers, in the psychological sense of life coaches, therapists, etc. deal with people's issues, all the while not realizing that when the person is ready, they'll figure it out on their own and move forward. It's all about timing and programming (curriculum).

And so fellow students and teachers ... the lesson repeats ... everything must end as reality dictates. This is a Fire/Liquidation Sale ... everything must go! Embrace change - don't fight it. The program is almost over. You should feel like this is your Senior year with all of the universe out there after you leave. You can't understand the bigger picture until you graduate. The Universe is your University.

The clock is ticking .... and the final school bell is

about to ring announcing school is closed forever.

Thanksgiving Week 2010

Sunday brunch with Harold ...

After months of trying to find a date that works for both of us, this is it. We are both 67 and should be relaxing or retired, but are busier than ever with the things we love to do in our homes that face the water. We both write and research and talk a lot... Aquarius and Leo are talkers, having been friends since meeting at a MUFON meeting in NYC in 1989. We've come a long way baby, and yet the answers were always there.

Thanksgiving

It's time for holiday stuff and stuffing. People I know are helping the less fortunate who will not be part of a happy Thanksgiving celebration this year, for any number of reasons - money, divorce, death, military, separation stuff ....

Giving and helping others is what makes so many of us feel good at this time of the year and always.

Shopping

The weeks ahead are a time to shop and with that many have found bargains everywhere ... including the 99 cent stores. I walked through my local 99 cent store, which sells items up to $5, and found the most interesting things, especially for children. I know the older children get the more expensive the 'toys', but there is an understanding that comes with age about family finances.

Gifts certificates still make a great present especially for online shopping in places like Amazon and Target. Since the recession, retailers have learned to start their sales early. My mall has major sales up to 70% in some places. It takes me back to the old days with old prices, yet I wonder how that affects production costs.

Black Friday

Next we find the Black Friday specials - a bargain-seekers delight. Some people wait months for this sale. Some will actually wait online for hours sleeping on chairs, until the stores open.

Most of these stores have fixed inventory. Let's say there were 20 name brand laptops each selling at a very cheap price. Several years go I read about people who would buy as many laptops as they could, then sell them on eBay for a profit. I am told that stores now offer only one item per customer, which seems fair.

Do you remember this story? Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede November 28, 2010. It was just after the recession started.

A Wal-Mart worker died early Friday after an "out-of-control" mob of frenzied shoppers smashed through the Long Island store's front doors and trampled him, police said. The Black Friday stampede plunged the Valley Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde. When the madness ended, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour was dead and four shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, were injured. It was all caught on camera.

Thanksgiving 2010

If you're leaving early, have a great vacation. I'll be with my children and extended family in New Jersey.

Astrology ...

The sun moved into Sagittarius on Sunday accompanied by a Full Moon 29º Gemini being called a Blue Moon. Mercury will be retrograde from December 10 - 30 which could affect your holiday shopping and plans.

Bow and Arrow - Male and Female

Cupid Roman God of Love

Above and Below ... She is the Tree and Holds the Book



November 21, 2010 - Sun in Sagittarius

Happy Birthday to the Sagittarius readers.

Bow and Arrow

Bows and arrows go back to ancient times. They were present in Egyptian culture since it's predynastic origins. The Nine Bows symbolize the various peoples that had been ruled over by the pharaoh since Egypt was united. The goddess Nekhbet symbolized the unity of the peoples under the pharaoh, her epitaph was 'She who binds nine bows'. The arrow itself was a symbol of divine power, which was personified by Neith, the goddess of war, whose cult was symbolized by two crossed arrows. Two crossed arrows could also represent the power of Hemsut, which was a female form of Ka.

Arrows could symbolize the sun's rays; Atum was the archer who fired sunbeams as though they were arrows. At the Ascension of the king, he would symbolically fire an arrow in each of the four cardinal directions; this symbolized his power over the Four Corners of the world.

Bows were originally made from antelope horns bound to a piece of wood in the centre; it is this form of bow, which is shown in the hieroglyph of a bow. This was around in prehistoric times and many flint arrowheads have been found. Later bows built from a single piece of wood replaced the earlier antelope horn bows. Usually these bows were made from Acacia wood and strung with animal fibre, the arrows were made from cane with flint, bone or bronze heads. When the Hyskos came into contact with the Egyptians they brought with them the composite bow which was far more powerful than its predecessors were. Bows often featured in burials, something that is connected to the goddess Neith's protective role.

History of Archery

Feather Symbology

Feathers are an archetype of flight and ascension, or any other word you associate with moving back to light and consciousness. Most of the important creation god are shown with wings and feathers - Thoth, Quetzalcoatl, Sumerian Gods, to name a few - all of whom seem linked to the alchemy of time and consciousness that created this reality.

Feathers as symbols move from lower to higher frequency based on color ... darker to white or shimmering light.

Feathers were worn by Native American Chiefs to symbolize their communication with Spirit, and to express their celestial wisdom. Also in the Native American Indian culture, feathers represented the power of the thunder gods, along with the power of air and wind. Native American Pueblo Indians would pay homage to the Feathered Sun which is a symbol of the cosmos and the center of existence. Another symbol meaning of feathers also revolves around prayer, and the Pueblo use feather sticks as they dance in prayer for rain during solstice rituals.

As a Celtic symbol meaning, the feather was worn by Druids in the form of ornate feathered robes. Celtic Druids donned these robes in ceremonies to invoke the sky gods and gain knowledge of the celestial realm. It was believed that the feathered cloak along with the presence of the sky gods would allow the Druid to transcend the earthly plane and enter the ethereal realm.

The Egyptians believed that feathers were symbolic of sky gods. Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of justice, would weigh the hearts of the newly dead in the underworld against the weight of a feather to determine the worthiness of his or her soul.

In Christianity feathers represented virtues. An image of three feathers were made into signet rings - each feather symbolizing Charity, Hope, and Faith. These rings were worn as a symbol of a virtuous soul - they were also used as wax seals. The ring would be dipped in warm wax then pressed against documents to seal the closure. The recipient would know the documents came from a virtuous man by the indication of the three-feather symbol in the wax.

In dreams feathers mean travel or the ability to move more freely in life. White feathers in dreams indicate innocence or a fresh start in a spiritual sense.

Romance Novels

In keeping with the romantic side of life, after the engagement of William and Kate, let's move to romance stories a novel way people can vicariously experience whatever they expect from love, passion, and drama. Though a romantic at heart, I have never read a romance novel, but know people who pour through them endlessly ... to be swept away by the emotions and actions of characters in a book ... just as our time here is a story created in consciousness ... stories within stories within stories that lead to soul reunion. If you've never had romance in your life, you've missed something special.

It's written in the stars

The romance novel is a literary genre developed in Western culture, mainly in English-speaking countries. Novels in this genre place their primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending." Through the late 20th and early 21st centuries, these novels are commercially in two main varieties: category romances, which are shorter books with a one-month shelf-life, and single-title romances, which are generally longer with a longer shelf-life. Separate from their type, a romance novel can exist within one of many subgenres, including contemporary, historical, science fiction and paranormal.

One of the earliest romance novels was Samuel Richardson's popular 1740 novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, which was revolutionary on two counts: it focused almost entirely on courtship and did so entirely from the perspective of a female protagonist. In the next century, Jane Austen expanded the genre, and her Pride and Prejudice is often considered the epitome of the genre. Austen inspired Georgette Heyer, who introduced historical romances in 1921. A decade later, British company Mills and Boon began releasing the first category romance novels. Their books were resold in North America by Harlequin Enterprises Ltd, which began direct marketing to readers and allowing mass-market merchandisers to carry the books.

The modern romance genre was born in 1972 with Avon's publication of Kathleen Woodiwiss's The Flame and the Flower, the first single-title romance novel to be published as an original paperback. The genre boomed in the 1980s, with the addition of many category romance lines and an increased number of single-title romances. Popular authors began pushing the boundaries of the genre and plots and characters began to modernize.

In North America, romance novels are the most popular genre in modern literature, comprising almost 55% of all paperback books sold in 2004. The genre is also popular in Europe and Australia, and romance novels appear in 90 languages. Most of the books, however, are written by authors from English-speaking countries, leading to an Anglo-Saxon perspective in the fiction. Despite the popularity and widespread sales of romance novels, the genre has attracted significant derision, skepticism and criticism.

The most famous romance novels come from Harlequin Enterprises (founded in 1949) a Toronto, Ontario-based company that is a leading publisher of series romance and women's fiction. Owned by the Torstar Corporation, the largest newspaper publisher in Canada, the company publishes approximately 120 new titles each month in 29 different languages in 107 international markets on six continents. These books are written by over 1,300 authors worldwide, offering readers a broad range of fiction from romance to psychological thrillers to relationship novels. With 131 million books sold in 2006 - half overseas and 96% outside of Canada - it is both the country's most successful publisher and one of its most international businesses.

Harlequin romance novels have made writers out of many souls seeking to express their feelings in a book.

These days everyone has a story to tell that comes from their heart. Perhaps it is unrequited love, a dream, a catharsis of emotions from a fallen romance, the inner aspect of one's personality yearning to express itself but afraid in their reality, the impact of a past life, automatic writing that suddenly speaks a truth ... or maybe it's just lustful passion as sex in any form naturally attracts most people ... whatever urges the writer to create. As I always say ... if it's fun... go for it.

Romantic barometer ... Ask yourself ... Am I a romantic? Does romantic sex do it for me, or it doesn't matter?

Close your eyes. Envision your perfect romantic interest. What would a perfect adventure with that person be like? Where would you make love? What would happen at the end of the day?

Marriage 2010 ...

I've written endless blogs about marriage. In a world where self awareness and having the freedom to find one's true purpose and heal issues is being increasingly important, marriage is not the answer for everyone. For some, a lifetime commitment works, but for others it is not necessary. Social conditioning has changed. Human consciousness is programmed differently. Being gay is becoming more accepted as people everywhere come out.

People live together, want less long term responsibility, don't necessarily want to have children, change who they are as they move from decade to decade in their lives, see the divorce rate accelerating, education taking longer, the economy and job market, and you know the rest of the list as per your observations of reality.

Healing has taught us that people are drawn to each other to work on their mutual issues, then move on. That seems to be the current pattern. If you have issues and the other person is not a reflection of those issues, the relationships will quickly end ... boring for one person and too much drama for the other. Be friends first, lovers next, and have no long range expectations for at least one year. The high of a romance - love and great sex - generally last 2 1/2 years then starts to wane. Take your time. You may think marriage is the solution for loneliness - think again. Know who you are with and what you are getting into.

I am not totally opposed to marriage. I guess it's just that I read so many couples who outgrow each other and the cheating starts. They come with the question - should I leave my spouse for the transition person? I often read people who tell me that on the day they got married, they knew it was a mistake - not the way to go. Healing and metaphysics dictate finding a Twin Flame - a person in the Heart - the lover who acts as a catalyst to higher consciousness. Some couples only have karma to create children then move on. There are many interesting patterns, I've blogged about in the past. Couples who are emotionally stable, growing together, perhaps want to raise a family - can make marriage work. If you've been there, you now what I mean.

Wednesday night I watched the Dateline special about Prince William and Kate - destined to meet at university - from friends to lovers - who grew together. They have as much magic as Harry Potter. To me they are soul mates destined to stay together. They have a lot going for them, and will overcome obstacles. They will be marrying at a good age in modern times. Like our friends across the pond - I love this couple and wish them every happiness. I am sure Diana will be there watching over them and guiding their journey.

Marriage & Money: My, How Things Have Changed!   Live Science - November 18, 2010

The gap between rich and poor isn't just about money. A new study finds that Americans with low income and education are less likely to marry than those who are better off. The trend, which occurs over a background of declining marriage rates, suggest that while Americans of low socioeconomic status are just as likely as well-off Americans to want to get married, they place a high premium on financial stability before marriage, a bar they may never meet.

The study, conducted by Pew Research Center in conjunction with TIME, used analysis of economic and demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau combined with an October 2010 telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,691 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. Overall, the data revealed a deep ambivalence toward marriage, Pew reported. Nearly 40 percent of Americans say marriage is becoming obsolete, an 11-percent increase since 1978. The number of married couples has dropped, too: In 1960, 72 percent of American adults were married. In 2008, that number was 52 percent.

Nonetheless, 69 percent of people say that single women having children is bad for society, and 61 percent say kids need both a mom and a dad to grow up happily. When asked if trends toward cohabitation, unmarried couples raising children and gay couples raising children are bad for society, 43 percent answered "yes" to each question.

Money and marriage

The decline of marriage is class-based, the study found. In 1960, people with a college degree were only 4 percentage points more likely to be married than people with a high school education or less. By 2008, that gap widened to 16 percentage points. Just under half (48 percent) of people without college degrees were married in 2008, compared to 64 percent of college grads.

Nonetheless, both groups place a similar value on marriage, the survey found. The difference was that 38 percent of people with less education said financial stability was an important condition for marriage, compared with 21 percent of college-educated people. Still, the survey found that Americans are optimistic about marriage, with 67 percent saying they're upbeat about the future of marriage and family.

Speaking of family, Americans take it seriously. More than three-quarters say family is the most important element of their life. And the meaning of "family" has broadened. Eighty-eight percent of people view a childless married couple as a family. Nearly as many (80 percent), say a cohabitating couple with a child is a family, and 86 percent say a single parent and a child is a family. Just over 65 percent say a gay or lesbian couple raising a child is a family. Americans are also happy with their families. Three-quarters say they're "very satisfied" with their family life. Eighty-five percent say their current family is as close as or closer than the family in which they grew up.

Four in 10 say marriage is becoming obsolete   AP - November 18, 2010

Is marriage becoming obsolete? As families gather for Thanksgiving this year, nearly one in three American children is living with a parent who is divorced, separated or never-married. More people are accepting the view that wedding bells aren't needed to have a family. A study by the Pew Research Center, in association with Time magazine, highlights rapidly changing notions of the American family. And the Census Bureau, too, is planning to incorporate broader definitions of family when measuring poverty, a shift caused partly by recent jumps in unmarried couples living together.

About 29 percent of children under 18 now live with a parent or parents who are unwed or no longer married, a fivefold increase from 1960, according to the Pew report being released Thursday. Broken down further, about 15 percent have parents who are divorced or separated and 14 percent who were never married. Within those two groups, a sizable chunk - 6 percent - have parents who are live-in couples who opted to raise kids together without getting married. Indeed, about 39 percent of Americans said marriage was becoming obsolete. And that sentiment follows U.S. census data released in September that showed marriages hit an all-time low of 52 percent for adults 18 and over.

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged in a variety of ways, depending on the culture or subculture in which it is found. Such a union, often formalized via a wedding ceremony, may also be called matrimony.

People marry for many reasons, including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual, and religious. These might include arranged marriages, family obligations, the legal establishment of a nuclear family unit, the legal protection of children and public declaration of commitment.

Marriage practices are very diverse across cultures, yet almost every known society has had some form of marriage between a man and a woman. In some societies an individual is limited to being in one such couple at a time (monogamy), while other cultures allow a male to have more than one wife (polygyny) or, less commonly, a female to have more than one husband (polyandry). Some societies also allow marriage between two males or two females. Societies frequently have other restrictions on marriage based on the ages of the participants, pre-existing kinship, and membership in religious or other social groups.

The act of marriage usually creates normative or legal obligations between the individuals involved. In some societies these obligations also extend to certain family members of the married persons. Almost all cultures that recognize marriage also recognize adultery as a violation of the terms of marriage, and forbid incestuous marriages. In cultures that allow the dissolution of a marriage this is known as divorce.

Marriage is usually recognized by the state, a religious authority, or both. It is often viewed as a contract. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution irrespective of religious affiliation, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the state, by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it.
