The Awakening
A time comes in your life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the
voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink
back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.
This is your awakening.
You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something
to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.
You realize that in the real world there aren’t always fairy
tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you…and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.
You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not
everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are…and that’s OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.
You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself…and
in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.
Your stop complaining and blaming other people for the things
they did to you – or didn’t do for you – and you learn that the only
thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean
what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and everything isn’t always about you.
So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of
yourself…and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept
people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human
frailties…and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view.
You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.
You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you
begin to discard the doctrines and values you’ve outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.
You learn that there is power and glory in creating and
contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a
“consumer” looking for you next fix.
You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not
the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.
You learn that you don’t know everything, it’s not your job to
save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing. You learn the
only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
Then you learn about love. You learn to look at relationships as
they really are and not as you would have them be. You learn that alone does not mean lonely.
You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You
learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.
You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside,
smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.
You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to
care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drinking more water, and take more time to exercise.
You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty
and so you take more time to rest. And, just food fuels the body,
laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.
You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you
deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and
that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.
More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you
need direction, discipline and perseverance. You learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it’s OK to risk asking for help.
You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself. You
learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.
You learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living
under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn’t always fair, you don’t always get what
you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to
unsuspecting, good people…and you lean not to always take it personally.
You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t
always somebody’s fault. It’s just life happening. You learn to admit
when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.
You lean that negative feelings such as anger, envy and
resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.
You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the
simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.
Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself
and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than you heart’s desire.
You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to
stay open to every wonderful possibility.
You hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to
the wind.
Finally, with courage in you heart, you take a stand, you take a
deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can.

What is “the Divine Feminine”? by Laura Paskell-Brown
I have been taught to write from my head, to research and to reference my sources. That training seems not only insufficient but a hindrance at this moment. The Divine Feminine is not
something to be found in books. She must be experienced in the flesh. She is the hand that touches me gently, the hug that envelops me, the tears that drop from my eyes and the fierce strength within me. She is the caretaker and the patient, the pound of a hammer and the brush of a feather. She is not afraid of anything and yet infinitely compassionate. I see this in men and women around me daily. I have experienced its presence in men and its lack in women. I have longed for it during a four-hour exam and on a crowded and yet lonely subway, and have been touched to find it in cold and drafty rooms where I thought nothing but fear and contempt were hiding. I have at times embodied it myself. Many times I have not. Today I make it my life mission to become Her, to breathe Her, to spread Her wings and to fly. The divine feminine does not act alone. She comes in collectives. She is connection itself. And so I find that if I am to be Her I must collaborate, connect, bond, empathise, love. I must avoid separation and the things that breed it: judgement, fear, anger, comparison, jealousy and critique. I can be Her but I can also be the fingers that snub out her flame. I can choose. Today I choose Her. I choose life. I choose love. I choose to be part of this beautiful mystery, not an angry presence to diminish it, nor simply an abstract voice to analyse it. I cannot write about divine feminine if I do not plunge into life. She does not require that I articulate Her precisely, that I perfectly define Her, that I categorise Her neatly. She only requires that I seek to embody Her fully. This is my daily challenge and my daily joy.
HOW CAN I ?.......................
when you have given me your life in my soul
How can I leave you in my life
when you have given me so much Love in my heart
How can I think anything other than your Love
when you have given me a big room in your heart
How can I Love anyone else other than you
when you have given me your endless Love
How can I Love a Love without your Love
when you shown me the beauty of it
How can I see your shadow without your light
when you have lit my life with Love everyday
Let whatever world go around with me,
but I never ever forget you..♥♥
just 4U with Love..
Steady Pace
Like an ancient old-growth forest — where the subtle play of light, texture and shadows is the product of a process measured in centuries and inches — most things of lasting value develop gradually, at their own pace. The ability to learn from experience — one of humanity's greatest capacities — implies constant yet gradual progress. The combination of stillness within and determination without ar
e the essence of this dynamic. Good things sometimes sprout quickly; the truly delightful take much longer.
The principle of gradual development applies also to human relationships. For love and marriage or any important partnership to endure, progress must be slow but steady: slow enough to allow for the bonds to knit properly; steady enough to keep moving in the right direction.
You can't expect to have everything all at once. Development must be allowed to take its proper course and allotted time; events must neither be rushed nor manipulated, but allowed to unfold naturally. In this way, you will come to enjoy long-lasting relationships and achieve success.

Coming Together
The power of gathering together is represented by a rally, where each individual's strength is magnified by the power of their community. History has shown that mass movements can bring about stable, ordered and durable conditions for the better. This may be pointing to an auspicious time for large undertakings. But the guiding force of your shared vision is essential to hold the forces of unity
together, and keep them advancing toward a common goals and values.
Another image for this situation is that of a lake filling with water. Just as the fullness of the lake can bring good fortune to all in its sphere, it can also overflow, leading to calamity. Thus in a time of gathering together it is essential that precautions against excesses be considered along with efforts to advance along a clearly-charted course. Much of human misfortune comes from unexpected events for which we are ill prepared; when gathered together with others, we are both more powerful and, in some ways, also more vulnerable.
Any time of unified coming together is a time of great potential. But the potential can be both positive and negative. Everything is magnified when people unite around a central shared purpose. When many people unite behind a single goal or strong vision, it is wise to take personal precautions to protect your own reasonable self-interests, because these can easily be lost in the crowd.
DEATH OF THE EGO
Read on please, because I am going to share an awesomely beautiful and brilliant piece of writing to illustrate this.
Anyway - We cannot have both Love and Ego - they are incontrovertibly at the opposite ends of the Human Evolutionary ladder.
You see - at the Top we have LOVE and the bottom we have Ego. The VERY REASON humans come to Earth at all is to totally transcend the insidious influence of the ego, that the journey to Love may begin - it is the meaning of Life - how fundamental is that?
We can illustrate this with the metaphor of Lucifer.
Lucifer is a metaphor for the Ego - the "fallen angel" who fell from Christ, Love, when he began to get ideas of grandeur - developing an ego - which is of very low vibration - and incompatible with the Highest Vibration of LOVE.
So Lucifer was not "cast down" as some sort of punishment - Lucifer punished himself - like everyone with an ego - right.
So Lucifer - Ego - simply transitioned to a corresponding vibration - Earth, to begin the task of transcending his ego once again, to retrace his steps back to Christ - LOVE.
OK - so THAT is what Lucifer is about - everyone with an Ego ;)
So - that said, here is the utterly beautiful and incredibly valuable piece from The Baron Eugene Fersen, entitled:
The Dream
Night! The fragrance of a warm summer night suffuses all Nature. The firmament studded with stars glowing like diamonds, a net of glistening loveliness, through which the dark beauty of night is fading.
Soft, living Light invades the clear atmosphere like golden vapor. It increases steadily, penetrating and covering everything. Bathed in its radiance, there appear glittering diamond peaks, mountains of topaz and amethyst, massive rocks of emerald, gigantic monoliths of sapphire, as steps leading to higher regions. The Light grows in strength, investing all things with color and warmth.
These are no rays of a sun rising from behind the hills, but a glowing radiance emanating from everywhere, embracing everything, and increasing like some strain of music: and indeed, there is music in the air. Gentle melodies are trembling, soft harmonies are vibrating, and mysterious echoes answer them.
Set amidst these precious mountains, surrounded by a grove of gigantic trees so lofty that they appear to be talking with the clouds, stands a Palace, large as a city and of wondrous beauty. The walls of it are streams of Light rising from the ground and playing in all the colors of the rainbow. Its flat roofs, towers and domes are golden clouds upon which the glow of the spreading Light is shedding its morning splendor.
And still the Light grows in strength. Through the golden roof of the Palace rises an innumerable procession of Beings, each one seeming more wonderful than the other.
Of almost similar height and size are they, but how different each one! Some are like fiery lava streaming from the crater of a volcano; some are like moonrays made living beings; some like roaring waterfalls with rainbows playing about their heads; some like precious stones become alive.
Their wonderful bodies appear in all their unhidden glory: no covering conceals their Eternal beauty. And eyes, such as when the Spirit Itself looks on the World It has created, full of supreme majesty and power, full of Infinite Love, are shining from under their divine brows!
Two of these Beings rise with the rest from the depths of the Palace, and like twin stars stand tenderly embraced on the top of the highest tower. More radiant, more wonderful than the others are they. Like a brilliant star is the countenance of one. His body, taller and stronger than that of his Mate, is like a phosphorescent opal. Streams of living Light are flowing through his body and making it shine in iridescent hues. His eyes are lightning; a purple cloud his hair; and when he speaks and when he moves, far away thunder is heard Golden and shining is his Companion, his body woven of sun-rays, his hair a glowing flame, his eyes reflecting the glory of Heaven itself; and when he speaks and when he moves, soft harmonies fill the air.
With gestures of adoration they raise their arms in triumphant song—greeting to the Spirit, thanks to the Great Giver. Their brothers follow them in the song; all Nature joins in this hymn of gratitude. Birds and animals, trees and flowers, rocks and clouds, waters and the ground itself, sing the eternal praise of all beings to The One Supreme Being, their Divine Father. Stronger and more wondrous grows the great song, flooding the Universe with praise and love; it rises to a thunder of triumph, and dies away in silence.
Silence—A limpid breeze moves the air, and each one feels within himself the words, "Live and Love." The Great Spirit, The Father, is communing with His children. Infinite bliss fills every being, and pervades the Universe. The Day of Heaven has begun.
But the triumphant band passes out of sight; the roofs are deserted; and the two, the Heavenly Twins, sink back into the Palace. And there they stand within the great tower in the very midst of it. High, circular walls surround them, but there are no openings in those walls. Deep and mysterious is the material out of which they are built; precious also is it, for its name is Silence.
And upon those mighty walls of Silence, towering high up into the free air, are set lofty pillars. Precious also is the material from which they are made, shining in all the colors of the rainbow; their name is Hope. And through these pillars of Hope stretching their slender shafts into the highest air, are sailing golden clouds. Silent they move through the tower of Silence; but the birds with the rustling of their wings, do not dare to fly through because of the sacred Silence.
Upon these pillars of Hope rests a glorious dome, effulgent as a sun, and Joy is the material out of which the dome is made. And the floor upon which they stand is a transparent crystal, a gigantic lens, and through that lens the whole Universe appears stretched out at their feet. Worlds without number, all stars, sun-systems, chains of planets, all beings, everything, the greatest and the smallest, can be seen through that crystal. Understanding is the material out of which that floor is made. With their feet firmly established on Understanding, with Silence surrounding them, with Hope towering over them and with Joy crowning them, stand the two, keeping watch over the World.
And the one whose voice is like thunder speaks to his Mate.
Thou loved One! Thou, radiant Joy of the World! Once more we stand ready to fulfil our charge, to carry out our duties in the eternal scheme—Thou the Love of the World, I the Mind of it. All knowledge, all power are ours. Why then must we every morning adore, greet as our Master, One Whom none has ever seen? Thou art from Eternity, and I am from Eternity, and so are all our brothers. Yet who has ever seen the One Who claims to be our Father and Who is called God?
True it is that every morning a Voice speaks within us—but there is none can tell whether it comes not from our very selves. Why should we adore any longer One Who remains a mystery to us? Enough that we should be slaves to an unknown master. Let us free ourselves from the bonds by which we are now bound. All powers, all forces are ours; therefore let us rule the World—we two, the greatest powers of this World."
The answer came soft-winged, tender as Love itself.
All! Brother. Why these words of pride, of revolt? Thou knowest—for thy heart tells thee in spite of all—that there is a God, that we have an invisible Father, Who is also our loving Mother, and Who enfolds us, His children, in His Divine embrace. He thinks continually of us. He plans ceaselessly for our joy. For us He pours out into manifestation the endless beauties, the transplendent wonders, from the unmanifest regions of His Heart. And He asks nothing from us but our love. Is it so difficult to love Him Who so loves us? Dismiss these thoughts of rebellion, forget these proud words. Sorrow alone can come from them, my Brother."
Like sudden thunder, like the bursting of crashing floods, came the roaring, shattering outcry.
What is this Hidden Power that can compel Mind? Mind, the glittering luminary of all the Worlds, is regent in the Universe. No servant's place shall I be satisfied to take. But if thou, oh my gentle Brother! wilt not rule with me, and share my power, then alone shall I command the World."
And with these words, swift as a streak of lightning, he rises from the ground of Understanding, through Silence, through Hope, through radiant Joy, into the open. Higher and still more high, past the precious mountains, he climbs the lambent air, leaving behind a blazing train of phosphorus, until his feet touch the summit of the most aspiring peak, the pinnacle of glittering diamond. Poised on the shining spire, his goes out to all the World. !
"Spirits of Light! Sons of Eternity! The day of freedom, of liberation, has come to us! Free are ye born, free shall ye live! No more adoration, no more praying to a Master, to a God Whom none has ever seen. From now, ye shall be your own masters. Come all, come all to me, and ye shall be free!"
And from the hidden parts of all the World, myriads of Spirits, Sons of Light, are gathering together. They surround the diamond peak where stands the one whose eyes are lightning, whose countenance is like a blazing star. With words of adoration they shout:
"Hail to thee, Lucifer! Son of the Morning! Hail to thee, Liberator! Our Leader, our Master, our God!"
And he who is proclaimed the master of the hour, called the ruler of the World, looks down upon those prostrate at his feet.
"I am your master, I am your god. Follow me, for I alone can give you freedom; new beauties shall ye discover through me, new powers and forces shall ye wield. Ye shall become more piercingly brilliant than ever ye have been, like flaming diamonds, more scintillating than the blazing suns."
But in the sacred grove, hidden amid the giant trees, with sad eyes and a heavy heart, stands one whose name is Love, words of prayer falling from his lips.
"Father, Beloved One! Beating Heart of all the Universe! Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Him they call God, Lucifer they acknowledge as supreme. Yet he is nothing but Thy child, and all his powers and beauties he has from Thee. True it is he appears supreme, for his feet touch the ground, his head reaches Heaven, and his glory seems to fill all Space, yet they are as deceived as he is himself. It is Thy glory which is still shining through him, and Thy power is taken for his own. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Forgive my Brother, Lucifer, for he is still the dearest to my heart: he also knows not what he does!"
From his piercing height, Lucifer heard the faithful, praying voice—and smiled on him in contempt. But suddenly another Voice, heavy with destiny, gathering in its might the Unmeasured Energy of all the Worlds:
Lucifer In Heaven all desires are achievement. Thou wouldst be free—thou shalt be free. Go thou, and all those who worship thee, to that further plane to which ye all belong. These Regions of Eternal Light can bear thee no longer. Your bodies cast shadows in the pure skies. From the Spheres of Light to the outer, utmost void—go"
Thus the Voice from the Vaulted Silence: and on the moment, a sudden burden as of great heaviness falls on Lucifer and his followers. They are no longer able to offer resistance against its weight, and with a blast of thunder and terror, they fall from the Realms of Light into the somber void.
As they fall darkness grows denser about them, until no spark of Light, no hope is left to them. Far in the utter gloom, still falling, they perceive a fiery region which draws them swiftly to it with irresistible force. And they are cast into an ocean of fire, of smoke, of molten metal, of boiling stone.
He who was the first to fall, is also the first to rise again. And he sees his brothers, his followers, once Spirits of Light, darkened, disgraced, extinguished, thrown into that abode of fire and suffering. And he calls to them:
"Rise, my brothers! Rise, ye who are still the Sons of Light! True it is that from the highest Spheres of Bliss, we have been cast into this desolation. Yet all knowledge is still mine, and thus all power, and I shall make for you from this hell a new Heaven, and this new Heaven shall be called Earth."
As he speaks the ages pass, the flaming fields contract, the incandescence blazes with a fainter heat, the fumes and vapors gradually disperse, and a lustrous, glowing planet, cradled in fire and beauty, is born. The lovely Earth appears—green hills and gentle slopes and flowery meadows, singing brooks, clear rivers and the blue sea, mountains and chasms and waterfalls. And through enchanted forests birds of a hundred colors are flying, and in the fields animals are roaming. And Lucifer is pleased with his creation and says:
"And now, my Brothers! Ye shall be the inhabitants of this new Heaven and ye shall be called human beings."
And wonderful beings, lofty of stature, strong and comely, appear on the Earth: they propagate and multiply, and rule the Earth. And Lucifer is their king, their god.
So fair a world seemed a true semblance of Heaven. But the canker of revolt which had cast them from Heaven, still lived with them. And the spirit of jealousy, hatred, and pride begins to manifest itself, and grows, and spreads, until the splendid Earth becomes again a hell. But now they are unable to bear any longer the suffering which infests the Earth, and they find no help or relief from Lucifer. In their deep despair, they remember their Father, and turn to Him and pray again to God. And God, their Father, hears the cry of His children, and from His Heart sends down to them His Own Love. And Love comes down from Heaven to Earth, and Love becomes a human being; and Love lives with human beings and teaches human beings how to love.
But Lucifer, incarnate also as a human, being, sees the menace to his power, and in a passion of hate and jealousy rises against his Brother and slays his Brother. And God's Love shakes off the burden of the Earth, and Earth is without Love again. So sorrow and terror once more prevail, and the suffering becomes intolerable. Again human beings cry out to God for help. And God, the Father, the loving Mother, hears the cry of His children, and from His Heart sends down to them His Own Love. And Love comes down from Heaven to Earth again and Love becomes a human being; and Love lives with human beings, and teaches them the Law of Love.
But Lucifer, the World's Mind, again incarnate as a human being, rises against his Mate, his Eternal Twin, and causes Him to die, for he sees in Him the great menace to his power. And once again, God's Love returns to the Father, and again the Earth is void of Love.
So through the ages, whenever misery and suffering increase upon the Earth so as to make life intolerable, the children of the Earth call out for a Deliverer. And always Love, gentle and tender-hearted; comes to their call and tries to save His brothers. But Lucifer ever rises against Him, kills His body, and destroys His work, for Love is the continual menace to his power.
And when for the last time, God's Love came down to Earth, and lived the humble life of a simple mortal, giving to Humanity the greatest lesson that Love ever gave, Lucifer, incarnate as a human being, rose once more against his Brother, betrayed Him and brought Him to His death upon the cross. But He, of Whom the World was not worthy, breathing His last breath, dying as a felon upon the accursed tree, prayed for those who had crucified Him:
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Father, forgive my brother Lucifer, for he knows not what he does."
These burning words of love struck Lucifer like lightning in his heart, and he went out and made an end to his human self. And rising as a spirit, he beheld the greatness of his brother's Love, and the endless evil of his own age-old sin. He saw the sorrow and the suffering which came through him to all beings; and he felt that cold and stony heart of his melt and soften, and he wept tears of blood, tears of fire. And those tears fell on the Earth and the Earth trembled to its very foundation.
Thus for the first time, after countless ages of revolt, did Lucifer lift up his eyes to God, and words of prayer fell from his lips:
"Father! I know the immensity of my sin, and do not beg for forgiveness for myself. For crimes like mine cannot be atoned. But oh! my Father, forgive them, those who followed me in my fall. Forgive them, for they knew not what they did. No fault was theirs but that they loved me more than Thee, and listened to the magic of my words, the glitter of my Mind, so that Thy Laws were all forgotten. Therefore, I pray Thee, forgive them and take them back to Thee: let them return to those pure Spheres of Light, where Bliss and Harmony and Serenity are. But for myself, if by my eternal damnation I can win their eternal salvation, I am ready to be damned for Eternity."
Then from the Vaulted Silence, a Voice, gathering in its might the Unmeasured Energy of all the Worlds:
"Lucifer, thy sacrifice is accepted—and through thy sacrifice shall the World be saved."
And he, the proud one who had thought himself a god, bent his knees, and with his head touched the dust of the ground.
Like far-off thunder sounded his words: "Father, I thank Thee!"
And once again the Voice:
"Lucifer, thou hast sinned much, but thou hast also loved much. infinite is thy sin, but infinite also is thy sacrifice; therefore, art thou forgiven. Go into the World, live among the children of the World, and carry to them the Light of Knowledge purified by Love. Thus the veils of self-delusion will be withdrawn one by one, limitations will be removed, suffering conquered, sorrow transmuted into Joy. And when the last human fault shall have been destroyed, when all thy brothers will have come back to Me, then only will come thy day of liberation. Thy pinions of inspiration, singed by the fires of hell, will have grown again strong enough to lift thee from this Earth and to bear thee back to Heaven. And there, at the burnished Gates of Heaven, the Portals of Eternal Harmony, shall Love, thy Brother, thine Eternal Mate, be waiting for thee, to lead thee back to Me!"
And Lucifer went into the World. And Lucifer taught the World. And to the World Lucifer carried the Light of Pure Knowledge, glowing with the flame of Love.
Night! The fragrance of a warm summer night pervades all things. The firmament blazing with stars, and beyond the stars darkness softly fading away. The radiant Palace, the sacred grove, and above them, the mountains of precious stones. And in the sacred grove whose trees are talking with the clouds, rest in sleep myriads of Beings of Eternal Light. Beneath the loftiest tree, the loftiest king of all the woods, lies one whose countenance is as a God's. He lies in deep slumber; and bending over him, calling him softly with words of Love, stands his Mate, his Twin.
"Brother! Loved one, awake! Arise, my Lucifer! The night is fading fast, and soon the Day of Heaven will begin. Now must we sing again the praises to our Father, and lift our voices in adoration and gratitude to God."
Like far-off thunder came the questioning words from trembling lips, and out of sorrowful eyes a flash of lightning: "Oh! Where am I?"
And the answer: "Thou art in Heaven, Lucifer."
But again the question: "Where have I been these ages? This fall, this suffering through countless years; and always fighting thee, my loved one, destroying thy work and killing thee. Where have I been?"
"Not for a single moment of time hast thou left Heaven, Lucifer. But with thy brothers in the sacred grove, beneath the great trees, hast thou slept the night, instead of with me in the Palace. Lonely was I, my Brother, for I missed thy presence."
"But these sorrows, these nights of darkness that I saw and lived? This suffering, these crimes, this agony? What were they all—whence came they and where have they gone?"
And the answer—burning words of Love —"Beloved! It was nothing but a Dream".
That is just so BEAUTIFUL ♥

~TRANSFORMATION~
"When we think of transformation we think of changes happening in our life. A time of endings and new beginnings. WE HAVE the strength and courage, and to know that renewal follows every conclusion. Just remember, that the death of an old way of thinking and believing must occur before we can move forward on our new path. Transformation is all about the ebb and flow of life. Nothi
ng in this life remains motionless; everything is on its way to somewhere. When we accept the changes, opportunity will come to expand us in more ways than we could have ever imagined! By embracing the past and happily moving on!"

TRUTH
Truth doesn't need believers - it just IS...If people connect with it, express it and embody it, then it is revealed and exposed - but no matter how misunderstood, distorted or hidden it may be, it cannot be destroyed.
If you know your Truth and it alienates people or causes others to tear you a part or project on to you - you still have it and it will see you through ~ it is our Ultimate Power
.
Power is not fame and wealth - Truth is not outside of us, because anything is possible.
When we know our inner-Truth, we know outer Truth.
Truth is in our Heart, Soul and Spirit Nature, our Balance and it is the inner-voice of Intuition and the Clarity of the 3rd Eye and higher self connection to Source - which brings us into our Galactic Chakras and Light Body.
All that we express from this area is our Truth.
Divine Power is being strong in the face of adversity. It is capable of surviving this 3-D realm with Spiritual Integrity.
It is about not losing our Love & Wisdom nature in a realm that is influenced by false power structures that only thrive on secrecy, deception and the power we give away...
If we temporarily lose our Truth, or veil it or forget it, it always returns and never abandons - only we abandon.
IT is those who rely on other people's belief systems - that are false power, false Truth and false light.
When you find your own personal Truth - never lose the tenacity of your devotion to it.
"It should not be believed that all beings exist for the sake of the existence of man. On the contrary, all the other beings too have been intended for their own sakes and not for the sake of something else."

I believe we can change the world if we start listening to one another again.’ I still believe this. I still believe that if we turn to one another, if we begin talking with each other – especially with those we call stranger or enemy – then this world can reverse its darkening direction and change for the good.

HUMILITY
Humility is often rewarded in human affairs, just as the erosion of a great mountain fills the valley. It is the way of nature to fill the empty cup. Regardless of your position, humility is a positive and deceptively powerful attribute. If you are in a high position but are still humble, people will be drawn to you and the causes you espouse. If your position is lowly, humility will endear you to those of higher status. True humility is a virtue to which all should aspire.
The most successful and happiest people are those who know how to bring each situation into balance by reducing that which is too great, and adding to that which is too little. Such a person craves not power, but balanced and stable relationships. Humility is the virtue that supplies the balancing power, as humble people are not prey to the many illusions that grow out of self-importance. If humility is not natural to your disposition, make a conscious effort to develop a strain of self-effacing humor.

The 7 Circles of God Within.
EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL... Are you watching closely?
In the beginning the was the WORD. And the WORD was with God, And the WORD was God.
The word represents thought. Pure unadulterated, free, creative energy. Life was "spoken" into existence.
And god said, "let there be light." Not only displaying the first expression of contrast, an opposite, polarity,
to that which was eternal darkness, but also displaying how thought, energy, or that vibration which when projected
from within a being, is perceived as words, created everything.
Hence Language is the Highest Art-Form of creation itself.
English is the last Language, and the most complicated and profoundly poetic in my own
personal opinion. It is the Language constructed of every other, and so being, is in the greatest harmony
with the rest of the whole of existence here. From the ideological perspective of "everything being everything"
Unity consciousness, or holistic thinking. Simple English phrases or even Words for that matter,
can adopt the meaning of any and everything metaphorically, yet in the literal sense they contain,
within themselves the "Divine" or truely "Real" truth of life ingrained within their very essence.
Woven into the fabric of which they themselves are constructed, on every Leve˩. From etymologically, down homo-phonetically.
"What the fuck are you talking about?."
Is such a deep and meaning-ful phrase/question, also very poetic in a sense. Stating that you do not have an w-Hol-is-tic
under-standing of that which you speak. You haven't thoroughly"went over" or studied your WORD therefore,
You don't "stand over" your speech. You lack the ability to "walk the talk." You have failed to acknowledge
the root or "deepest" meaning of whats being State-d. The word Acknowledge for example, to Act-Know-ledge,
or apply Wisdom. Act meaning to perform. Know meaning to have arelatively objective idea of a certain thing.
Ledge which would here signify a boundary, a point of safety, ortransi-tion such as the edge of a cliff.
So to acknowledge would mean, in its highest sense and lowest form. To per-form in a way which would
s-how you understand whats go-ing on, and what your boundaries are, and how to get past them when necessary.
"In a sense" Innocence, Ina Since.
Within the perception of yourself. Senses are perceptual stimuli. They are the factory in which your experience of a thing is produced.
You perceive through your sense organs, within, all that is, without. Which are simply vibrations of energy.
Different tonal frequency's waves of the same one energy, moving at speeds and possessing higher density's.
These waves are perceived as either Light, Sound, Feeling, Taste, or Smell.
When this "external" energy meets up with your "Internal" energy a sensation, an electrical impulse,
triggers a mental sensation, creating the "experience" of "something" or should I say something else.
A moment of contrast, to that which is inherently you.
Boy - "Do not try to bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth."
Neo - "What truth?"
Boy - "There is no spoon."
Neo - "There is no spoon?"
Boy - "Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, only yourself."
....In a sense.
"Dancing To The Beat Of Your Own Drum"
Refusing to acknowledge these things leads to your problems in life, or myriad ways to discover solutions as I see it.
The word Solution. Sol-U-Tion, Sol- meaning sun, son, or soul. As in Solomon, the King, translating into Sun/Soul of Man. U signifying You, which is "coincidentally" right in the middle. And -Tion a suffix signifying action of some sort. So a Solution is, simplified, The Action of Your Soul.
When you fail to go about dis-covering, the truest actions of The Soul, your Life is one of mis-understanding.
You don't get anything right, creating disharmony, because your living out of Con-Text with yourself. Con being False, Text being Word or Doctrine.
Instead of living, with yourself, OUT(side) of con-text, meaning free of untrue creative energy. And finally true simply means in alignment with everything else
to the point of harmonious co-existence.
"What's Going On?"
What is be-coming. What is the quest-I-on of the thing. Go is tomove. And On is to Be or Exi-stance. Existence is the external form.
Ext-ernal, exit eternal. Meaning that which appears to Be out here is only a temporary form.
One of which came out of the Eternal portion of reality, separated from Oneness to be itself, to become mortal,
So the root quest here is to reveal the outcome of motion of the temporary external form.
Know Thyself, know God.
We exist to evolve, to evolve we have to be involved. You gotta "Go In" to "Get Out."
That's revolution. Following the path of the spiral, or the circular structure moving into itself.
Forever growing larger, or smaller depending on the starting point. The path of the spir-al, the spir-it, this is what it means to be spir-it-u-al.
Spir = Circle. It = Thing. U = You. Al= All.
You All Are Of the Circle.
The Circle or 360°, the four equal sections of 90°,
Earth, Air, Fire, Water,
North, South, East, West,
Left, Down, Right, Up.
Completion, Perfection.
This is the story of Life, this is Your story. This is the story of God.
"Energy"
I get my energy, from my Inner G, I be in outer space, but I got inner peace.
I acquire my In-spir-a-tion, from the G within. G's symbolism is that of God. G is the 7th letter of the Alphabet.
Also the highest note on the Musical Scale. There are 7 days in a Week, And 7 Chakras, Psychic Organs, or Energy(inner G) spirals in the human vehicle.
Psych-ic means of the Soul, And an Organ is an Instrument designed to either project or be receptive of Energy. So your Chakras are the Instruments of your Soul. You must align, or tune your Chakras to make good Music.
"Are you playing the right tune?"
Lucifer the light bearer, angel to rule over all others, Master of Music. Forgot that GOD and Itself were ONE, tried to be something it wasn't, Separate. Satan, The adversary. The Devil, The opponent, the one who liveD backwards, out of harmony, separated with itself in the truest form. Self destructive. PRINCE OF THIS WORLD...
Christ
“All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in PARABLES; and without a parable spoke He not unto them.”
“And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable. And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.
“That seeing they may see, and not perceived: and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them. And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know allparables?”
Sin is an Archery term meaning to miss the mark, Simply to not be on point. We are all born here as sinners.
Look within to the way of salvation, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, AND THE WAY.
"Ye ARE GODS" "I and the Father are one."

THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT PART 13
The eyes will see only what the mind is ready to except open not only your minds and hearts open your souls as well...to everything and anything is possible then and only then can you truly say I AM AWAKE....Facts leave no room for possibilities..keep in mind when watching something like this that what we once thought to be fact has become fiction and what we once presumed to be fiction has indeed become facts... nothing is written in stone as stone eventually crumbles steal eventually rust and falls apart..so are facts and fiction subject to change. What do we really know???

WARNING: I can promise you that if you misuse or abuse any spiritual teachings I am giving you, you will be held accountable by the Celestials. Many people who have wrong me have died, or suffer (the Celestials do the work, I don't even do nor say anything). So I suggest you behave and honor the TRUTH being given to you.

Since many of you have been asking about my book trilogy that I am working on now (it is really not a trilogy, it is like Lord of the Rings, it is ONE BOOK, but I have to divide it and walk you through the entire process so you can keep up with your understanding). I felt strongly today to take what is going through your minds and answer a few questions through this because I KNOW many 'understand' with your Souls but your human mind cannot cope with it. TAKE TIME TO READ THIS brief glimpse of my book and life path research, I KNOW it is OVERWHELMINGLY DEEP. But I have to write these books (I am compelled to) and get down to the ROOTS of the PROBLEM of this PLANET and HUMAN RACE, to assist you in what your Soul knows, not what your mind knows that all these 'powers that be', parents, teachers, schools, and religions fed you since birth. As I said BRIEF because I will deal with many of these things in depth, this is why I must just start with the first one.
The book is divided into 3 THESES: World of Matter, World of the Spirit and World of the Soul.
This post is a deeper synopsis of what I am working on and the continuation of this note:
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=384126324301&comments
Those who have eyes, SEE and those with ears, HEAR.
With this BRIEFING, I am here to shed light to the reason why I do not wish to use the word GOD among you for my personal use as what I know is bigger than what this world knows. I use 'God' for your sake since you have no or little understanding of the Universe. I call the Source, DADDY, because it has always been my PARENT. The Archangels and DADDY raised me and taught me everything that I know (and the people of this planet forced me its education to blur my knowledge and the things I know since I was a child), literally because my biological parents were not there in many aspects (you will know that on my biography book, but I must do the first mission first to clarify things in this world).
To those who are waking up the last decades since 1940's (but you are sent here and you are INDIGO CHILDREN), and have felt compelled to keep the things hidden from everyone because you have either been ostracized, persecuted and mocked, take heart. The AGE OF SEPARATION IS COMING TO ITS END. The children have been born since 1940's to help with the planetary grid matrix and assist with the vibrations to be lifted since humanity messed up with the main matrix frame. The 'reinforcements' have been coming with the new children now, which should give you JOY that the AGE OF AWAKENING is taking place around the world and these children are here now to assist you in waking up. The AGE of REDISCOVERING and RE-REMEMBERING has come and it will grow. The key puzzles are being put to place, waking those who need to wake up for they are NEEDED. THIS is what I mean as your CORE DEPROGRAMMING.
In this short post (because there is NO WAY I can post my 3 THESES), I am dealing with the Jewish Christians in this post. I will deal with ALL of the religions in my book, but the book is not to tear down your love for Allah, God or whoever you believe in. I am only sent to clear up some things because you are building a relationship with some deity that is not the actual Being. This post is just a taste of my second and third book. I am still working on the first one. I am not here to offend you, I love you with the love of the Source, but to give you better understanding of what I have been writing about how this world have been so controlled by the wrong knowledge. The world is so lost and have gone so far from who we are and what we used to know that DADDY (the Source) has to do something or we are going to further destroy ourselves. It is this very reason why you see all the problems around you, your life and the world as a whole. We have to be on higher frequency that matches the Universe. I am just a Messenger and my job is shake you (plus I must create new words as these things you know do not even come close to the TRUTH. That includes the word LOVE). May you open your eyes and ears and listen what the Universe has to say through me as they come from a pure place. I want humanity to heal all these separations. We are ALL connected with the ONE as we are with each other. May this post envelope you with unconditional love that comes from the PUREST PLACE in the Universe. My humanity can not handle its Essence because it is SO powerful. So when you start waking up and heal within you, you will understand my words. May you join the journey to the fullness of TRUTH, JOY and LOVE. ♥ Mika-El
*****************************
START OF LECTURE from the MJ SANTOS UPCOMING BOOK
They say "Astronomy/Science has shattered the fallacies of Astrology and Religion;" and people have found out that the stars are minding their own business instead of meddling with theirs. While it is true that modern Astronomy has superseded the ancient system, and people have ceased to believe that the stars are intervening in mundane affairs, nothing could be further from the truth than this assertion and those who will accord to this work an unprejudiced perusal can hardly fail to be convinced that a large majority of the people of Christendom are dominated as much by these fallacies as were our Pagan ancestry—the only difference being a change of name. The dogmatic element of religion, which was anciently designated as Astrology, is now known as Theology.
All the evidences bearing upon the subject indicate that the founders of the primary form of religion were a sect of philosophers, known as Magi, or wise men, of the Aryan race of Central Asia, who, having lived ages before any conceptions of the supernatural had obtained in the world, and speculating relative to the "beginnings of things," were necessarily confined to the contemplation and study of nature, the elements of which they believed to be self-existent and endless in duration; but, being wholly without knowledge of her inherent forces, they explained her manifold processes by conceiving the idea that she was animated by a great and inherent soul or spirit, emanations from which impressed all her parts with life and motion. Thus, endowing man, and other animals, with souls emanating alike from the imaginary great soul of nature, they believed, and taught, that immediately after death all souls were absorbed into their source, where, as "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea," all personal identity was forever lost. Hence we see that although recognizing the soul as immortal, considering it, not as an entity existing independent of matter, but as the spirit of matter itself, the primary religion was the exponent of the purest form of Materialism.
(NOTE TO THE JEWISH FAITH: I will deal with NEPHESH in my 2nd book).
Being the Astronomers of their day, and mistaking the apparent for the real, the ancient Magi constructed that erroneous system of nature known as the Geocentric, and, in conformity thereto, composed a collection of Astronomical Allegories, in which the emanations from the imaginary great soul of nature, by which they believed all materialities we're impressed with life and motion, were personified and made to play their respective parts. Basing the religion they instituted upon their system of Allegorical Astronomy, and making its personifications the objects of worship, they thus originated the anthropomorphic or man-like Gods, and, claiming to have composed them under the inspiration of these self same divinities, they designated them as sacred records, or Scriptures, and taught the ignorant masses that they were literal histories, and their personifications real personages, who, having once lived upon earth, and; for the good of mankind, performed the wondrous works imputed to them, were then in heaven whence they came.
Thus we see that the primary religion, which is popularly known as Paganism, was founded in the worship of personified nature; that, according special homage to the imaginary genii of the stars, and inculcating supreme adoration to the divinity supposed to reside in the sun, it was anciently known by the general name of Astrolatry, and by the more specific one of solar worship; and that its founders, arrogating to themselves the title of Astrologers, gave to its dogmatic element the name of Astrology.
In studying the primitive forms of religion it will be found that none of them taught anything relative to a future life, for the simple reason that their founders had no conceptions of such a state. Hence it follows that the laws they enacted were intended solely for the regulation of their social relations, and, to secure their observance, they were embodied into their sacred records and made part of their religion. One form of that most ancient worship was known as Sabaism, or Sabism. Another form of the same religion was the Ancient Judaism, as portrayed in the Old Testament, and more especially in the Pentateuch, or first five books; in the Decalogue of which the only promise made for the observance of one of the Commandments is length of days on earth; and, in a general summing up of the blessings and curses to be enjoyed or suffered, for the observance or violation of the laws, as recorded in the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy, it will be seen they are all of a temporal character only. At the beginning of the Christian era there were still in existence a sect of Jews known as Sadducees, who were strict adherents to the primitive form of worship, and their belief relative to the state of the dead we find recorded in Ecclesiastes xii., 7, which reads: "Then shall the dust return to earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it."
For ages the doctrine of soul absorption, immediately after death, constituted the belief of mankind; but ultimately recognizing the fact that the temporal punishments of the existing laws were wholly inadequate to the prevention of crime, and conceiving the idea that the ignorant and vicious masses could be governed with a surer hand by appealing to the sentiments of hope and fear in relation to the rewards and punishments of an imaginary future life, the ancient Astrologers resolved to remodel the dogmatic elements of religion so as to include that doctrine. But realizing the necessity, of suppressing the belief in the absorption of all souls, immediately after death, they ceased to teach it, and ultimately it was embodied in that secret and unwritten system known as the Esoteric philosophy, in which the Astrologers formulated their own private belief, and which for many centuries was kept from the knowledge of the uninitiated by their successors in the priestly office. As they were the sole custodians of the Scriptures, they made do change in their verbiage, but, adding the doctrine of future rewards and punishments to that written and openly taught system of faith known as the Exoteric creed, they made it the more impressive by instituting a system of imposing rites and ceremonies, which they designated as Mysteries, into which they initiated the neophytes, and in which were portrayed, in the most vivid manner, the rewards and punishments of the imaginary future life, which they taught were the awards of the Gods for the observance or violation of the laws. These teachings were inculcated in the lesser degrees only, but those who were found worthy of so great a distinction were also inducted into the higher degrees, in which was imparted the knowledge of the Esoteric philosophy. In both the lesser and higher degrees the initiates received instruction in an oral manner only; and all were bound by the most fearful oaths not to reveal the secrets imparted to them.
Thus were the votaries of the ancient Astral worship divided into two distinct classes, the Esoterics, or Gnostics; and the Exoterics, or Agnostics; the former comprising those who knew that the Gods were mythical and the scriptures allegorical; and the latter, those who were taught that the Gods were real, and the scriptures historical; or, in other words, it was philosophy for the cultured few, and religion for the ignorant multitude. The initiates into the secrets of these two systems recognized them as the two Gospels; and Paul must have had reference to them in his Epistle to the Galatians ii., 2, where he distinguishes the Gospel which he preached on ordinary occasions from that Gospel which he preached "privately to them which were of reputation."
Such was the system of Astrolatry, which, originating in the Orient, and becoming, after being remodelled in Egypt, the prototype of all Occidental forms of worship, was recognized, successively, as the state religion of the Grecian and Roman Empires; and I propose to describe the erroneous system of nature upon which it was based, and to develop the origins of its cycles, dogmas, ordinances, anniversaries, personifications and symbols, with the view to proving that it was the very same system which was ultimately perpetuated under the name of Christianity. I also propose to present the origins and abridged histories of its two forms, the Jewish, or ancient, and the Roman, or modern; and to give an account of the conflict between the votaries of the latter, and the adherents to the established form of worship, which culminated in the fourth century in the substitution of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire. I furthermore propose to show the changes to which the creed and scriptures were subjected during the Middle Ages, and at the Reformation in the sixteenth century, through which they assumed the phases as now taught in the theologies, respectively of Catholicism and Orthodox Protestantism. I will also present knowledge relative to Freemasonry and Druidism, for the purpose of showing that, primarily, they were but different forms of the ancient Astrolatry. I also devote a few pages to the subjects of the Sabbath, and to that of "Pious Frauds."
THE SACRED NUMBERS 7 AND 12.
In reference to the planets, and the signs of the Zodiac, the numbers seven and twelve were recognized as sacred by the ancient Astrologers, and dedications were made to them in all kinds and sorts of forms. In the allegories, the genii of the planets were designated as spirits or messengers to the Supreme Deity, imaginarily enthroned above the firmament, which we find described in Revelations iv. 5, as "Seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God;" and which were represented by lights burning in seven branched candlesticks set before the altars in the temples; the central light for the Sun; the Moon, Mercury and Venus on one side; and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn on the other. The seven branched candlesticks seen in all Catholic churches, and in some Protestant ones, are intended to represent the same planetary system.
Among the numerous dedications to the genii of the planets we mention the seven days of the week, the seven stories of the tower of Babylon, the seven gates of Thebes, the seven piped flute of Pan, the seven stringed lyre of Apollo, the seven books of fate, the book of seven seals, the seven castes into which the Egyptians and East Indians were divided, and the jubilee of seven times seven years. Among the dedications to the twelve signs we mention the twelve months of the year, the grand cycle of 12,000 years, the twelve altars of James, the twelve labors of Hercules, the twelve divisions of the Egyptian Labyrinth, the twelve shields of Mars, the twelve precious stones, ranged in threes to denote the seasons, in the breastplate of High Priest, the twelve foundations of the Sacred City, referred to in the Book of Revelation, the twelve sons of Jacob, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve Disciples. In the Book of Revelation alone the number 7 is repeated twenty-four times, and the number 12 fourteen times.
THE ANCIENT TRIAD.
After conceiving the idea of a primeval chaos, constituted of four indestructible elements of which fire was the leading one, the Oriental astrologers began to indulge in speculations relative to the agencies which were engaged in its organization. Having no knowledge of the forces inherent in nature, they imputed this work to three intelligences, which, embodying the All in All, they personified by the figure of a man with three heads, and to this trinity gave the names of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. Such a figure, carved in stone, may be seen in the island Cave of Elephanta, near Bombay, India, and is popularly believed to represent the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer; but, in determining their true signification, we must be governed by the ancient teachings that "All things were made by one god-head with three names, and this God is all things." Hence the conclusion is irresistible that the first person represents neither the creator nor organizer of chaos, but chaos itself; the second person, its organizer and governor; and the third person, the agent in nature which impresses all her parts with life and motion; the latter being the imaginary great soul or spirit inculcated in the Esoteric philosophy. In support of this opinion it will be found that the Egyptian Triad of Father, Son and Spirit is virtually the same we have assigned to its Oriental prototype. Thus we see that to the ancient Astrolatry Christendom is indebted for the Trinity of
"God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit—three in one."
But, having ascribed supreme intelligence or reason to its second person, under the name of the Logos, or Word, and designating its third person as the Holy Ghost, the ancient Triad was usually formulated as the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, as may be seen by reference to the text in the allegories which we find recorded in I John v. 7, which reads that "There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one."
Considered in some forms of Astrolatry as too sacred to attach a name to the triune Deity, he was called "the One," and we find him thus designated in the 4th chapter of Revelation, where, like Zeus and Jupiter, of the Grecian and Roman mythologies, he is represented as seated above the firmament, upon a throne from which "proceeded lightnings and thunderings," and to whom all, the subordinate divinities were made to pay homage. As the hurler of thunderbolts he was called "the Thunderer," and as the opener of the windows of heaven, when it rained, he was designated "Jupiter Pluvius." Such was the ancient Triad made to say of himself, in an inscription found in the ruins of the temple at Sais in Egypt, "I am all that has been, all that is, and all that shall be, and no mortal has lifted yet the veil that covers me;" and such was the Triunity referred to as the God Universe by Pliny, the Roman philosopher and naturalist, who, flourishing in the first century of the Christian era, wrote that he is "An infinite God which has never been created, and which shall never come to an end. To look for something else beyond it is useless labor for man and out of his reach. Behold that truly sacred Being, eternal and immense, which includes within itself everything; it is All in All, or rather itself is All. It is the work of nature, and itself is nature."
Thus we see that, although inculcating homage to a multitude of subordinate divinities, the ancient Astrolatry was only an apparent Polytheism; its enlightened votaries, recognizing the dogma of the unity of God, were in reality Monotheists, paying supreme adoration to the mythical genius of the Sun, to whom we will now direct attention.
GOD SOL aka SOL INVICTUS
In determining the characteristics of the supreme divinity of astral worship, it must be borne in mind that its founders taught that he was evolved or engendered by the Father, or first person in the sacred Triad, from his pure substance, which as we have shown was constituted of chaos or the primeval fire into which they supposed all things were reduced through the agency of that element at the conclusion of 12,000 year cycles. Hence, designating that mythical being as the only begotten of the Father, they personified him as God the Son, or second person in the sacred Triad; and recognizing the Sun as the ruling star, very appropriately made him the presiding genius of that luminary, under the title of God Sol. According homage to light as his chief attribute, he is referred to in the allegories as "The true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," John i., 9; and, although designated as the only begotten of the Father, his co-existence with him, under the title of the Logos or Word, is shown in the text which reads, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," John i., 1.
Personifying the principles of Good and Evil in God Sol, the ancient Astrologers consecrated the six divisions of the 12,000 year cycle, corresponding to the reproductive months of Spring and Summer, to him as Lord of Good, and symbolizing him by the constellation of the Zodiac in which the Vernal Equinox successively occurred, as explained hereafter, they dedicated the six divisions of that cycle, corresponding to the destructive months of Autumn and Winter, to him as Lord of Evil, and as such, symbolizing him by the serpent, marked the beginning of his reign by the constellation "Serpens," placed in conjunction with the Autumnal Equinox. Personifying in him the opposing principles of Good and Evil, he was to the ancients both God and Devil, or the varied God, who, in relation to the seasons, was described as beautiful in Spring, powerful in Summer, beneficent in Autumn and terrible in Winter. Thus under various names, intended to represent God Sol in relation to the diversified seasons, we find recorded in the Scriptures, or solar fables, numerous portrayals of imaginary conflicts, in which the Evil principle, triumphing during Autumn and Winter, is conquered at the Vernal Equinox by the Good principle, who, bringing back equal days and nights, restores the harmony of nature.
The eternal enmity between the principles of Good and Evil, as manifested in the diversity of the seasons, we find portrayed in the Constellations Hercules and Draco, placed in the northern heavens, in which the heel of the former, representing one of the most ancient of the imaginary incarnations of God Sol, to which we will refer hereafter, is resting upon the head of the latter, as referred to in Genesis iii., 15, which makes God Sol, or the Lord God, say to the serpent, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." The woman alluded to in this text is the Virgo of the Zodiac, as will be made apparent hereafter.
Of all the divinities of the ancient mythology God Sol was the only one distinguished by the exalted title of Lord or Lord God, for the reason that he was made the organizer of chaos and governor of heaven and earth. Hence, having constituted him the lord of light and darkness, as well as good and evil, the ancient astrologers in composing the solar fables made him say of himself, "I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things," Isaiah xlv., 7. "Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?" Amos iii., 6. Besides the title of Lord or Lord God, the solar divinity is also designated in the allegories as the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, the Invincible, the Mighty God, etc.
Subjecting the mythical genius of the sun, in his apparent annual revolution round the earth, to the four stages of human life from infancy to old age, the ancient Magi fixed the natal day of the young God Sol at the winter solstice, the Virgo of the Zodiac was made his mother, and the constellation in conjunction with her, which is now known as Bootes, but anciently called Arcturus, his foster father. He is represented as holding in leash two hunting dogs and driving Ursa Major, or the Great Bear, around the north pole, thus showing that the original occupation of the celestial foster father of the young God Sol was that of a bear driver, and that his sons, referred to in job xxxviii., 32, are the dogs Asterion and Chara. It will be observed that Virgo is represented in our illustration with a child in her arms, for the reason that she is so represented in the ancient Zodiacs, and the fact will be readily conceded that she is the only Virgin who could give birth to a child and be a virgin still.
THE ANCIENT COSMOGONY.
Speculating relative to the order in which chaos had been organized, the ancient Astrologers constructed a Cosmogony, which divided the labors of God the Son, or second person in the Trinity, into six periods of a thousand years each; and which, answering to the six divisions of the 12,000 year cycle corresponding to the reproductive months of Spring and Summer, taught that in the first period he made the earth; in the second, the firmament; in the third, vegetation; in the fourth, the Sun and Moon and "the stars also;" in the fifth, the animals, fishes, birds, etc., and in the sixth, Man.
That vegetation was made before the Sun was not an inconsistent idea to the originators of the ancient Cosmogony. They imagined that the heat and light, emanating from the elementary fire, were sufficient to stimulate its growth, after which God the Son gathered it together and made the Celestial luminaries. In the solar fables this imaginary element is called the fire-ether, or sacred fire of the stars.

********
Since many of you have been asking about my book trilogy that I am working on now (it is really not a trilogy, it is like Lord of the Rings, it is ONE BOOK, but I have to divide it and walk you through the entire process so you can keep up with your understanding). I felt strongly today to take what is going through your minds and answer a few questions through this because I KNOW many 'understand' with your Souls but your human mind cannot cope with it. TAKE TIME TO READ THIS brief glimpse of my book and life path research, I KNOW it is OVERWHELMINGLY DEEP. But I have to write these books (I am compelled to) and get down to the ROOTS of the PROBLEM of this PLANET and HUMAN RACE, to assist you in what your Soul knows, not what your mind knows that all these 'powers that be', parents, teachers, schools, and religions fed you since birth. As I said BRIEF because I will deal with many of these things in depth, this is why I must just start with the first one.
The book is divided into 3 THESES: World of Matter, World of the Spirit and World of the Soul.
This post is a deeper synopsis of what I am working on and the continuation of this note:
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=384126324301&comments
Those who have eyes, SEE and those with ears, HEAR.
With this BRIEFING, I am here to shed light to the reason why I do not wish to use the word GOD among you for my personal use as what I know is bigger than what this world knows. I use 'God' for your sake since you have no or little understanding of the Universe. I call the Source, DADDY, because it has always been my PARENT. The Archangels and DADDY raised me and taught me everything that I know (and the people of this planet forced me its education to blur my knowledge and the things I know since I was a child), literally because my biological parents were not there in many aspects (you will know that on my biography book, but I must do the first mission first to clarify things in this world).
To those who are waking up the last decades since 1940's (but you are sent here and you are INDIGO CHILDREN), and have felt compelled to keep the things hidden from everyone because you have either been ostracized, persecuted and mocked, take heart. The AGE OF SEPARATION IS COMING TO ITS END. The children have been born since 1940's to help with the planetary grid matrix and assist with the vibrations to be lifted since humanity messed up with the main matrix frame. The 'reinforcements' have been coming with the new children now, which should give you JOY that the AGE OF AWAKENING is taking place around the world and these children are here now to assist you in waking up. The AGE of REDISCOVERING and RE-REMEMBERING has come and it will grow. The key puzzles are being put to place, waking those who need to wake up for they are NEEDED. THIS is what I mean as your CORE DEPROGRAMMING.
In this short post (because there is NO WAY I can post my 3 THESES), I am dealing with the Jewish Christians in this post. I will deal with ALL of the religions in my book, but the book is not to tear down your love for Allah, God or whoever you believe in. I am only sent to clear up some things because you are building a relationship with some deity that is not the actual Being. This post is just a taste of my second and third book. I am still working on the first one. I am not here to offend you, I love you with the love of the Source, but to give you better understanding of what I have been writing about how this world have been so controlled by the wrong knowledge. The world is so lost and have gone so far from who we are and what we used to know that DADDY (the Source) has to do something or we are going to further destroy ourselves. It is this very reason why you see all the problems around you, your life and the world as a whole. We have to be on higher frequency that matches the Universe. I am just a Messenger and my job is shake you (plus I must create new words as these things you know do not even come close to the TRUTH. That includes the word LOVE). May you open your eyes and ears and listen what the Universe has to say through me as they come from a pure place. I want humanity to heal all these separations. We are ALL connected with the ONE as we are with each other. May this post envelope you with unconditional love that comes from the PUREST PLACE in the Universe. My humanity can not handle its Essence because it is SO powerful. So when you start waking up and heal within you, you will understand my words. May you join the journey to the fullness of TRUTH, JOY and LOVE. ♥ Mika-El

START OF LECTURE from the MJ SANTOS UPCOMING BOOK
They say "Astronomy/Science has shattered the fallacies of Astrology and Religion;" and people have found out that the stars are minding their own business instead of meddling with theirs. While it is true that modern Astronomy has superseded the ancient system, and people have ceased to believe that the stars are intervening in mundane affairs, nothing could be further from the truth than this assertion and those who will accord to this work an unprejudiced perusal can hardly fail to be convinced that a large majority of the people of Christendom are dominated as much by these fallacies as were our Pagan ancestry—the only difference being a change of name. The dogmatic element of religion, which was anciently designated as Astrology, is now known as Theology.
All the evidences bearing upon the subject indicate that the founders of the primary form of religion were a sect of philosophers, known as Magi, or wise men, of the Aryan race of Central Asia, who, having lived ages before any conceptions of the supernatural had obtained in the world, and speculating relative to the "beginnings of things," were necessarily confined to the contemplation and study of nature, the elements of which they believed to be self-existent and endless in duration; but, being wholly without knowledge of her inherent forces, they explained her manifold processes by conceiving the idea that she was animated by a great and inherent soul or spirit, emanations from which impressed all her parts with life and motion. Thus, endowing man, and other animals, with souls emanating alike from the imaginary great soul of nature, they believed, and taught, that immediately after death all souls were absorbed into their source, where, as "the dewdrop slips into the shining sea," all personal identity was forever lost. Hence we see that although recognizing the soul as immortal, considering it, not as an entity existing independent of matter, but as the spirit of matter itself, the primary religion was the exponent of the purest form of Materialism.
(NOTE TO THE JEWISH FAITH: I will deal with NEPHESH in my 2nd book).
Being the Astronomers of their day, and mistaking the apparent for the real, the ancient Magi constructed that erroneous system of nature known as the Geocentric, and, in conformity thereto, composed a collection of Astronomical Allegories, in which the emanations from the imaginary great soul of nature, by which they believed all materialities we're impressed with life and motion, were personified and made to play their respective parts. Basing the religion they instituted upon their system of Allegorical Astronomy, and making its personifications the objects of worship, they thus originated the anthropomorphic or man-like Gods, and, claiming to have composed them under the inspiration of these self same divinities, they designated them as sacred records, or Scriptures, and taught the ignorant masses that they were literal histories, and their personifications real personages, who, having once lived upon earth, and; for the good of mankind, performed the wondrous works imputed to them, were then in heaven whence they came.
Thus we see that the primary religion, which is popularly known as Paganism, was founded in the worship of personified nature; that, according special homage to the imaginary genii of the stars, and inculcating supreme adoration to the divinity supposed to reside in the sun, it was anciently known by the general name of Astrolatry, and by the more specific one of solar worship; and that its founders, arrogating to themselves the title of Astrologers, gave to its dogmatic element the name of Astrology.
In studying the primitive forms of religion it will be found that none of them taught anything relative to a future life, for the simple reason that their founders had no conceptions of such a state. Hence it follows that the laws they enacted were intended solely for the regulation of their social relations, and, to secure their observance, they were embodied into their sacred records and made part of their religion. One form of that most ancient worship was known as Sabaism, or Sabism. Another form of the same religion was the Ancient Judaism, as portrayed in the Old Testament, and more especially in the Pentateuch, or first five books; in the Decalogue of which the only promise made for the observance of one of the Commandments is length of days on earth; and, in a general summing up of the blessings and curses to be enjoyed or suffered, for the observance or violation of the laws, as recorded in the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy, it will be seen they are all of a temporal character only. At the beginning of the Christian era there were still in existence a sect of Jews known as Sadducees, who were strict adherents to the primitive form of worship, and their belief relative to the state of the dead we find recorded in Ecclesiastes xii., 7, which reads: "Then shall the dust return to earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it."
For ages the doctrine of soul absorption, immediately after death, constituted the belief of mankind; but ultimately recognizing the fact that the temporal punishments of the existing laws were wholly inadequate to the prevention of crime, and conceiving the idea that the ignorant and vicious masses could be governed with a surer hand by appealing to the sentiments of hope and fear in relation to the rewards and punishments of an imaginary future life, the ancient Astrologers resolved to remodel the dogmatic elements of religion so as to include that doctrine. But realizing the necessity, of suppressing the belief in the absorption of all souls, immediately after death, they ceased to teach it, and ultimately it was embodied in that secret and unwritten system known as the Esoteric philosophy, in which the Astrologers formulated their own private belief, and which for many centuries was kept from the knowledge of the uninitiated by their successors in the priestly office. As they were the sole custodians of the Scriptures, they made do change in their verbiage, but, adding the doctrine of future rewards and punishments to that written and openly taught system of faith known as the Exoteric creed, they made it the more impressive by instituting a system of imposing rites and ceremonies, which they designated as Mysteries, into which they initiated the neophytes, and in which were portrayed, in the most vivid manner, the rewards and punishments of the imaginary future life, which they taught were the awards of the Gods for the observance or violation of the laws. These teachings were inculcated in the lesser degrees only, but those who were found worthy of so great a distinction were also inducted into the higher degrees, in which was imparted the knowledge of the Esoteric philosophy. In both the lesser and higher degrees the initiates received instruction in an oral manner only; and all were bound by the most fearful oaths not to reveal the secrets imparted to them.
Thus were the votaries of the ancient Astral worship divided into two distinct classes, the Esoterics, or Gnostics; and the Exoterics, or Agnostics; the former comprising those who knew that the Gods were mythical and the scriptures allegorical; and the latter, those who were taught that the Gods were real, and the scriptures historical; or, in other words, it was philosophy for the cultured few, and religion for the ignorant multitude. The initiates into the secrets of these two systems recognized them as the two Gospels; and Paul must have had reference to them in his Epistle to the Galatians ii., 2, where he distinguishes the Gospel which he preached on ordinary occasions from that Gospel which he preached "privately to them which were of reputation."
Such was the system of Astrolatry, which, originating in the Orient, and becoming, after being remodelled in Egypt, the prototype of all Occidental forms of worship, was recognized, successively, as the state religion of the Grecian and Roman Empires; and I propose to describe the erroneous system of nature upon which it was based, and to develop the origins of its cycles, dogmas, ordinances, anniversaries, personifications and symbols, with the view to proving that it was the very same system which was ultimately perpetuated under the name of Christianity. I also propose to present the origins and abridged histories of its two forms, the Jewish, or ancient, and the Roman, or modern; and to give an account of the conflict between the votaries of the latter, and the adherents to the established form of worship, which culminated in the fourth century in the substitution of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire. I furthermore propose to show the changes to which the creed and scriptures were subjected during the Middle Ages, and at the Reformation in the sixteenth century, through which they assumed the phases as now taught in the theologies, respectively of Catholicism and Orthodox Protestantism. I will also present knowledge relative to Freemasonry and Druidism, for the purpose of showing that, primarily, they were but different forms of the ancient Astrolatry. I also devote a few pages to the subjects of the Sabbath, and to that of "Pious Frauds."
THE SACRED NUMBERS 7 AND 12.
In reference to the planets, and the signs of the Zodiac, the numbers seven and twelve were recognized as sacred by the ancient Astrologers, and dedications were made to them in all kinds and sorts of forms. In the allegories, the genii of the planets were designated as spirits or messengers to the Supreme Deity, imaginarily enthroned above the firmament, which we find described in Revelations iv. 5, as "Seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God;" and which were represented by lights burning in seven branched candlesticks set before the altars in the temples; the central light for the Sun; the Moon, Mercury and Venus on one side; and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn on the other. The seven branched candlesticks seen in all Catholic churches, and in some Protestant ones, are intended to represent the same planetary system.
Among the numerous dedications to the genii of the planets we mention the seven days of the week, the seven stories of the tower of Babylon, the seven gates of Thebes, the seven piped flute of Pan, the seven stringed lyre of Apollo, the seven books of fate, the book of seven seals, the seven castes into which the Egyptians and East Indians were divided, and the jubilee of seven times seven years. Among the dedications to the twelve signs we mention the twelve months of the year, the grand cycle of 12,000 years, the twelve altars of James, the twelve labors of Hercules, the twelve divisions of the Egyptian Labyrinth, the twelve shields of Mars, the twelve precious stones, ranged in threes to denote the seasons, in the breastplate of High Priest, the twelve foundations of the Sacred City, referred to in the Book of Revelation, the twelve sons of Jacob, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve Disciples. In the Book of Revelation alone the number 7 is repeated twenty-four times, and the number 12 fourteen times.
THE ANCIENT TRIAD.
After conceiving the idea of a primeval chaos, constituted of four indestructible elements of which fire was the leading one, the Oriental astrologers began to indulge in speculations relative to the agencies which were engaged in its organization. Having no knowledge of the forces inherent in nature, they imputed this work to three intelligences, which, embodying the All in All, they personified by the figure of a man with three heads, and to this trinity gave the names of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. Such a figure, carved in stone, may be seen in the island Cave of Elephanta, near Bombay, India, and is popularly believed to represent the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer; but, in determining their true signification, we must be governed by the ancient teachings that "All things were made by one god-head with three names, and this God is all things." Hence the conclusion is irresistible that the first person represents neither the creator nor organizer of chaos, but chaos itself; the second person, its organizer and governor; and the third person, the agent in nature which impresses all her parts with life and motion; the latter being the imaginary great soul or spirit inculcated in the Esoteric philosophy. In support of this opinion it will be found that the Egyptian Triad of Father, Son and Spirit is virtually the same we have assigned to its Oriental prototype. Thus we see that to the ancient Astrolatry Christendom is indebted for the Trinity of
"God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit—three in one."
But, having ascribed supreme intelligence or reason to its second person, under the name of the Logos, or Word, and designating its third person as the Holy Ghost, the ancient Triad was usually formulated as the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, as may be seen by reference to the text in the allegories which we find recorded in I John v. 7, which reads that "There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one."
Considered in some forms of Astrolatry as too sacred to attach a name to the triune Deity, he was called "the One," and we find him thus designated in the 4th chapter of Revelation, where, like Zeus and Jupiter, of the Grecian and Roman mythologies, he is represented as seated above the firmament, upon a throne from which "proceeded lightnings and thunderings," and to whom all, the subordinate divinities were made to pay homage. As the hurler of thunderbolts he was called "the Thunderer," and as the opener of the windows of heaven, when it rained, he was designated "Jupiter Pluvius." Such was the ancient Triad made to say of himself, in an inscription found in the ruins of the temple at Sais in Egypt, "I am all that has been, all that is, and all that shall be, and no mortal has lifted yet the veil that covers me;" and such was the Triunity referred to as the God Universe by Pliny, the Roman philosopher and naturalist, who, flourishing in the first century of the Christian era, wrote that he is "An infinite God which has never been created, and which shall never come to an end. To look for something else beyond it is useless labor for man and out of his reach. Behold that truly sacred Being, eternal and immense, which includes within itself everything; it is All in All, or rather itself is All. It is the work of nature, and itself is nature."
Thus we see that, although inculcating homage to a multitude of subordinate divinities, the ancient Astrolatry was only an apparent Polytheism; its enlightened votaries, recognizing the dogma of the unity of God, were in reality Monotheists, paying supreme adoration to the mythical genius of the Sun, to whom we will now direct attention.
GOD SOL aka SOL INVICTUS
In determining the characteristics of the supreme divinity of astral worship, it must be borne in mind that its founders taught that he was evolved or engendered by the Father, or first person in the sacred Triad, from his pure substance, which as we have shown was constituted of chaos or the primeval fire into which they supposed all things were reduced through the agency of that element at the conclusion of 12,000 year cycles. Hence, designating that mythical being as the only begotten of the Father, they personified him as God the Son, or second person in the sacred Triad; and recognizing the Sun as the ruling star, very appropriately made him the presiding genius of that luminary, under the title of God Sol. According homage to light as his chief attribute, he is referred to in the allegories as "The true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," John i., 9; and, although designated as the only begotten of the Father, his co-existence with him, under the title of the Logos or Word, is shown in the text which reads, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," John i., 1.
Personifying the principles of Good and Evil in God Sol, the ancient Astrologers consecrated the six divisions of the 12,000 year cycle, corresponding to the reproductive months of Spring and Summer, to him as Lord of Good, and symbolizing him by the constellation of the Zodiac in which the Vernal Equinox successively occurred, as explained hereafter, they dedicated the six divisions of that cycle, corresponding to the destructive months of Autumn and Winter, to him as Lord of Evil, and as such, symbolizing him by the serpent, marked the beginning of his reign by the constellation "Serpens," placed in conjunction with the Autumnal Equinox. Personifying in him the opposing principles of Good and Evil, he was to the ancients both God and Devil, or the varied God, who, in relation to the seasons, was described as beautiful in Spring, powerful in Summer, beneficent in Autumn and terrible in Winter. Thus under various names, intended to represent God Sol in relation to the diversified seasons, we find recorded in the Scriptures, or solar fables, numerous portrayals of imaginary conflicts, in which the Evil principle, triumphing during Autumn and Winter, is conquered at the Vernal Equinox by the Good principle, who, bringing back equal days and nights, restores the harmony of nature.
The eternal enmity between the principles of Good and Evil, as manifested in the diversity of the seasons, we find portrayed in the Constellations Hercules and Draco, placed in the northern heavens, in which the heel of the former, representing one of the most ancient of the imaginary incarnations of God Sol, to which we will refer hereafter, is resting upon the head of the latter, as referred to in Genesis iii., 15, which makes God Sol, or the Lord God, say to the serpent, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." The woman alluded to in this text is the Virgo of the Zodiac, as will be made apparent hereafter.
Of all the divinities of the ancient mythology God Sol was the only one distinguished by the exalted title of Lord or Lord God, for the reason that he was made the organizer of chaos and governor of heaven and earth. Hence, having constituted him the lord of light and darkness, as well as good and evil, the ancient astrologers in composing the solar fables made him say of himself, "I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things," Isaiah xlv., 7. "Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?" Amos iii., 6. Besides the title of Lord or Lord God, the solar divinity is also designated in the allegories as the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, the Invincible, the Mighty God, etc.
Subjecting the mythical genius of the sun, in his apparent annual revolution round the earth, to the four stages of human life from infancy to old age, the ancient Magi fixed the natal day of the young God Sol at the winter solstice, the Virgo of the Zodiac was made his mother, and the constellation in conjunction with her, which is now known as Bootes, but anciently called Arcturus, his foster father. He is represented as holding in leash two hunting dogs and driving Ursa Major, or the Great Bear, around the north pole, thus showing that the original occupation of the celestial foster father of the young God Sol was that of a bear driver, and that his sons, referred to in job xxxviii., 32, are the dogs Asterion and Chara. It will be observed that Virgo is represented in our illustration with a child in her arms, for the reason that she is so represented in the ancient Zodiacs, and the fact will be readily conceded that she is the only Virgin who could give birth to a child and be a virgin still.
THE ANCIENT COSMOGONY.
Speculating relative to the order in which chaos had been organized, the ancient Astrologers constructed a Cosmogony, which divided the labors of God the Son, or second person in the Trinity, into six periods of a thousand years each; and which, answering to the six divisions of the 12,000 year cycle corresponding to the reproductive months of Spring and Summer, taught that in the first period he made the earth; in the second, the firmament; in the third, vegetation; in the fourth, the Sun and Moon and "the stars also;" in the fifth, the animals, fishes, birds, etc., and in the sixth, Man.
That vegetation was made before the Sun was not an inconsistent idea to the originators of the ancient Cosmogony. They imagined that the heat and light, emanating from the elementary fire, were sufficient to stimulate its growth, after which God the Son gathered it together and made the Celestial luminaries. In the solar fables this imaginary element is called the fire-ether, or sacred fire of the stars.
