Dear Friends,

Following are some of the messages, or parts of messages, I have received in my e-mail In Box since the morning of 11 September. I may insert editorial comments here and there [enclosed in square brackets, and set in a reduced font size, to distinguish mine from the comments of others]. HTML formatting of what follows has been at my discretion, and may not exactly duplicate the appearance of the original messages reproduced below. The content of the text streams remains unchanged, and their veracity, as all tnp content, is to be determined exclusively by the discernment of each individual reader.

Perhaps before proceeding, I ought to underline this last point further. The events of 9/11/01 have stirred a vast spectrum of response from a great many people. It is possible this single episode may have penetrated more peoples' awareness, more swiftly, and more deeply, than any previous event in history. This is a personal speculation; I am aware of no information which either corroborates or contradicts it. And so it is with much, if not all, of the information which follows. It is a collection of the opinions, insights, and perceptions of a number of different individuals, some of whom are not even claimied to be incarnate on this planet. Certainly I have no way either to confirm or deny any of what follows, although doubtless like many, I have my opinions, perceptions, and biases regarding many or all of them.

I have stated my position as best I can in the preceeding essay, and so will keep my commentary to a minimum on what follows here. Although I obviously have my own opinions and biases, I am not urging them upon anyone else. If I were, what I would urge most strenuously is that the reader of what follows - and of anything at all, for that matter - fully engage your most penetrating discernment in evaluating its import. Just because something is well written, pleasingly presented in type, or audio, or video, or is authored or presented by an "authoritative figure," or a "celebrity," does not establish its truth. Sören Kierkegaard (1813-1855) once made the shrewd observation that "There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true." How does one avoid being cloven by one edge or the other of this two-edged sword?

I wrestle with this dilemma daily, and have addressed some aspects of it in my earlier essay, "Knowledge." I have reached the conclusion that reason, logic, analysis, erudition, intellect, singly or combined, are not adequate to distinguish reliably what is true from what is false. Even one's own senses, one's own direct experience, are laughably easy to deceive. To distinguish the false from the true requires intuitive discernment, which can only be achieved by delving within. Ultimately, no one but you are qualified to inform yourself what is and is not so; for all statements or claims by "others" - including the witness of your own eyes and ears, and the clammer of your own thoughts, emotions, and feelings - are unavoidably subject to error. They may (or may not) be illusions, or oversights, or lies.

And yet... I am convinced (for whatever that's worth to you) that by cunsulting your inmost self, there is nothing you cannot know. All right; enough of this for now. I hope you find some of what follows to be informative, illuminating, or at least interesting.


Love & Light,
Harmon

TWO STREAMS OF FUTURE PROBABILITY

(The following transmission came through during the Grand Fixed Cross of August 16 and 17, 1999, after having spent a week in spiritual retreat and ceremony in the upper meadows of Mount Shasta, California. It feels particularly appropriate today in light of recent events. Please feel free to forward this information to your mailing list)


PROLOGUE

I am Windrider, time traveler. I return to your time to share a message. When I lived in your time I often wondered what it would be like to be visited by someone from the future, who had perspectives and answers to some rather perplexing questions I then had, and perhaps some solutions to some very pressing problems we faced together in human culture and planet Earth. I wondered then what such a being would look like and what they would say.

Perhaps my very existence among you as a traveler from your future may be reassuring, for yes you have survived as a species, and yes, there is more to existence than your daily rhythmic boredom.

As I said earlier, I am a time traveler. That is not a strictly accurate statement from my perspective, for it is not a matter of traveling through time so much as folding through dimensions, which is part of ascension consciousness, as I will explain shortly. For now I would just like to state that I am "back" in your time for a specific purpose. You are approaching a great "shift of the ages", and there are two main streams of probability that stretch out before you as a species. My purpose is to speak with you about these two streams, and perhaps provide some perspectives.


TIME TRANSLATING

Windrider is not so much my name as my function. I am what you might call in your timeframe an ascended master. When I lived in your time I was a rather ordinary 3rd dimensionally fixed human, but many many human ones have achieved ascension mastery in my time, which isn't really time in the way you currently experience it.

I can see that I have some explaining to do, so let me begin with the notion of time itself. Like much else, this needs to be intuitively grasped not merely intellectually understood so that it may engage your intuitive vision to the threshhold of your own direct experience.

Time is a function of frequency. Just as you can have several tones occupying the same space in a musical chord, so the universe is a multidimensional construction, each dimension characteized by a certain frequency, or density.

Your experience of time varies according to your experience of density. In the 3rd dimensional frequency you are currently experiencing prior to the Shift, time is linear, with a distinct past and a distinct future overlapping in a "now-time" called the "present". The present is a miniscule moment in 3-D reality. In the higher frequencies of density your sense of now-time is greatly expanded, collapsing the partititons between past and future and allowing you a much greater experience of "presence".

Shamans, mystics, prophets, and meditators through the ages have learned to collapse these partitions and travel to other dimensions, only to return aain to what you call the "real" world. Some, like the aborigines of Australia, were fluid enough that they knew how to live between the worlds, what they called "dreamtime", as their primary reality. In traveling between the worlds all these early travelers were able to intuit visions of future events as well as access the past through "akashic" libraries.

Very few, however, in all of Earth's history, have been able to dissociate enough from a 3-D timeline to actually participate in or change future or past events. There are reasons for this, some of them having to do with collective consciousness in a free will universe. The very act of participation in a specified time frame allows for a change within that timestream, which plays havoc with the laws of causality.

Why am I here at this time then, you may ask. Do I not risk altering your own timestream, and do I not in doing so negate collective free will?  The answers to those questions may surprise you. There are many time travelers in your domain at this time, mostly without a whole lot of fanfare, many through a process of merging with a past identity, some actually incarnate in time translated bodies. I would make bold to state that were it not for our interventon at pivotal times, your planet would be extinct today. Do you ever wonder why some of the more cataclysmic prophecies of Cayce, Nostradamus, and various ancient scriptures have not come to pass?

Are we not then interfering with your collective free will and karmic choices?  Please understand that many of us time travelers are future aspects of your own selves, responding to a call you yourselves have made. You might call us aspects of your higher selves, which would be an accurate statement, since we do exist in a higher frequency dimension from your perspective. It is also true that the collecive consciousness of Earth at this time has called for higher assistance, and we are part of the response to that call as well.

A third reason that we are able to time travel into your world at this time is the opening of certain time portals through some of your government experimentations such as the "Philadelphia Experiment". Whatever the original reasons and questionable outcome for such experiments, the fact is that in breaching these time portals, the veils into the 4th dimension have thinned, allowing not just various forms of visitation from other worlds and dimensions to your planet, but also bringing your entire planet to the brink of a 4th dimensional leap!

You might ask why, when I mentioned earlier, that our activities are usually in secret and without fanfare, that I am attempting to publicize my presence in this way. That brings me to the essence of my message to you at this time, what you you are about to undergo as a planet, and why your full participation is invited in this grand moment.


THE EXPERIMENT

I mentioned earlier that there were several reasons why participatory time travel hasn't been possible before. Another reason that your highest mystics and scientists have had limited success in this venture is the nature of your 3-D locus itself. For in order to travel independently in time you need to have at least a 5th dimensional locus. You need to be grounded in a simultaneous perspective that is vast enough that your now-moment can embrace eons of linear time in an infinite variety of parallel dimensions. A very few ascended masters in your history have achieved this, but not very many. This, my friends, is what you are emerging into as a species.

The cusp of the 21st century is an exciting time for you to be living in. I do not wish to repeat here what the more intuitive ones among you have already attuned to, so I will simply say that yes, you are at the threshhold of an awesome collective event, a "birthing" if you will, a "shift of the ages", a Zero Point long foretold and long awaited not only by shamans and prophets on Earth but throughout the infinite galaxies.

For reasons that will become clear to you, what is taking place on Earth now is creating a ripple effect through all Creation. A whole new cycle of evolution is beginning through all the God-universes, and this little planet called Earth has a key role to play in it, which incidentally, is why you have such a wide gallery of spectators observing you at this time. It has to do with the fact that some of the highest beings in Creation are currently incarnate on Earth, along with the most diverse array of lifeforms and origins ever assembled, all incarnate in physical density in a great experiment of unification.

Those of you who have had experiences of unity-consciousness will know that it is no great effort to experience Oneness with the All on the higher dimensions, while it is here on 3-D Earth with its infinite diversity and polarity consciousness where that becomes a test of courage and commitment.

With so much of your Earth's longing for spirituality based on the need to escape the pain and suffering of being human  at this time, it may surprise you to learn that you are the  cutting edge of God-consciousness right now in this physical density. If Earth can experience unity-in-diversity on a physicalized (3rd or 4th) dimension, it greatly expands the activity of the Heart of God as the entire Universe begins a cycle of inbreath back to the Mind of God.


CONVERGENCE

For yes, there are cycles within cycles within cycles enfolded in your planetary birthing. Not only are you nearing the end of a millenium but you are also at the end of a 2160 year Piscean Age. The Aquarian Age you enter into is not just the beginning of another Age but the beginning of an entire 25,920-year cycle marked by the precession of the equinoxes. This Precessional Year also reflects the orbit of your solar system around Alcyone, the central sun of the Pleiades. Twice during the Precessional Year, including at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, you enter the influence of a high-vibrational stream of unified light known as the "photon belt", emanating from the Galactic Sun, which synchronizes your entire galaxy to the Mind of God.

Your Galactic Sun is likewise completing its own spiral through the galaxies nearing the moment described in the Hindu Scriptures as the "inbreath of God". Everything in the current cycle of Creation up to this point has been an expression of the "outbreath of God". Now is the moment of return, when all things in all dimensions in all universes fold back to a higher octave of Unity. It is like the speedo-meter in one of your automobiles synchronizing to 99999 before turning over to Zero Point.

Zero Point refers to a convergence taking place on Earth that ties together all these great cycles with all the dimensions in Creation in the journey back to Oneness. The cusp of a millenium links with the cusp of an Age links with the cusp of a Precessional Year links with the cusp of a Galactic Cycle links with the cusp of the Creator's Breath.

What does this mean? Because of the unique nature of this particular Zero Point, Earth stands at the threshhold of a cosmic moment of birth in which Creator and Creation become one. In other words, the veils between the dimensions are about to disappear for a moment of time, or rather a moment out of time, long enough for Creator consciousness to slip into the hearts and minds of all beings embodied on Earth, and by reflection, the entire inhabited universes. In this moment of timelessness, it is as if all Creation holds its breath with the Creator, and is then forever after infused with the Spirit of God.

The frequency of oscillation of any lifeform has to do with its connectedness with Spirit. In that moment of Infusion, the frequency of all beings on the planet will be raised in one extraordinary jolt of awakening. And since time and dimension also have to do with frequency, you will be suddenly catapulted into the 4th dimension as a collective event.

While the collective transition to the 5th dimension will yet take a while, some of you may find yourself going past the 4th into the 5th or even 6th dimensional frequencies, activating the ascension process. Thus it is that I, Windrider, having found myself in 6-D after the Shift, chose to dissolve my 4th dimensional body into the unified light, and found myself practicing the ability to translate through all times and dimensions of the Creator Universes.


THE TWO STREAMS

With that background, I wish to now speak with you about the two streams of probability that currently stretch out before you.

The Great Shift I have talked about is inevitable. It is a certainty in all the probable timelines of your future. What actually happens at this Zero Point, or Cosmic Birth, is still undetermined, however, and depends entirely on the collective consciousness latent in that moment.

My existence among you and that of other masters from your future reflects the fact that a proportion of humanity has sucessfully navigated through the Shift. It does not reflect what that proportion is. That keeps ever changing, and our wish is that this include the greatest number of beings possible.

These are the two probability scenarios that exist at this time. One is that at the moment of Zero Point that all beings on this planet are translated into the 4th dimension. This is the best case scenario. The other is that there will be a split between the worlds, that those who are prepared to move into 4-D will do so, and those who are not will remain behind in 3-D to play out their karma on a parallel Earth, which will likely result in cataclysmic destruction.

The third alternative probability and worst case scenario, that your entire planet would be destroyed in a great cataclysm, no longer exists. This did seem a likely possibility up until a decade or two ago in your time, and on behalf of all the ascended masters I congratulate you on the shift of consciousness you have already undergone so as to avert this!

There is a great light being carried on the Earth right now. This is why we believe it is possible to shift out further from the second scenario of partial translation into 4-D to the best case scenario of a full translation of planet Earth. This is also why the advent of Zero Point has been postponed to the extent possible in order to give all humanity the opportunity to make the Shift together.

Many of your ancient prophecies speak to the second stream of probability because that seemed to be the most hopeful scenario envisioned at that time. Jesus spoke of the "rapture", of two men working in the fields, one of whom would be taken, the other left behind. Christian, Muslim and Hebrew scriptures are replete with images of a "day of judgement", when the "righteous" would be rewarded and the "unrighteous" punished.

There are also metaphors in this age that reflect the first scenario. The story of "the hundredth monkey", which is an apt description of bioloical as well as spiritual evolution, is one example. Always it is true that when there is a sufficient number of beings envisioning and practicing a new paradigm, that the "law of grace" is then invoked, and the rest of the monkeys, or humanity, as the case may be, are brought into entrainment.


THE CHALLENGE

What needs to happen for mass consciousness to shift from the second to the first stream of probability?  The second scenario is based on "karma", the first scenario on "grace". You need to understand that the "law of grace" is a higher octave of the "law of karma". And you need to understand and fully embrace your personal as well as collective shadows.

When the master Jesus spoke of forgiving your enemy he spoke not of condoning their actions but of recognizing that you and he both were shadow and light together, and that forgiveness provided you both an opportunity to practice a divine alchemy, unifying both shadow and light in the experience of Oneness. He also counseled us to "love your neighbor as yourself".

The test for awakened humanity is this. Can you extend the hand of forgiveness and love in this expanded sense to your brothers and sisters in ignorance and darkness, a forgiveness that arises from compassion, a forgiveness that embraces your neighbor, yourself, the dark lords, the powermongers, the satanic forces, the military mind, the secret governments, or whatever your own version of the "enemy" happens to be?

When you do so, this activates the law of grace, and brings to an end a polarized conflict that opens the door to a full planetary awakening. More than that it provides an opportunity to resolve and heal a long drawn out inter-galactic war, and bring much suffering to an end. It assures that in the "inbreath of God" to come that none get left behind. This is the best case scenario, and one that I have traveled back into your time to seed once again.

It begins with belief, followed by desire.  Know that it is possible to experience a graceful pain-free unified birthing into the Fourth Dimension and beyond. Know also that you are capable of being the agents of God in this great alchemy. You have already proved this in averting the third probability of cataclysmic destruction.

I depart now, and I impart you with love and grace. Know that you have great assistance in this profound opportunity ahead. Call on the ascended masters and the brotherhoods of light, the angelic hierarchies and the Elohim, call on the avatars and saints throughout the ages, call on the star nations and the intergalactic councils of light, call on your higher selves and the Christ, call on the Planetary, Solar, Galactic and Univesal Logos, call on the Great Spirit that many call God. You are not alone, and we are not separate!

Subject: WTC Towers Collapse Suspect — WTC Building Collapse

WTC WATCH
EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNT - PLEASE READ
Fri Sep 14 18:48:13 2001


I just received (from my good friend) a dramatic and horrifying account of what happened to a friend of hers on September 11 in New York. I was particularly struck by this segment of the account of what happened AFTER both airplanes hit:

"I entered the back of Bankers Trust and was greeted by
> about 10 security personnel. I immediately passed
> myself off as building management and headed right for
> the security phone in the front lobby about 100 feet
> from the entrance of the main tower. I was able to
> call my mom and my wife and assured them that I was
> ok. I explained to them that I was drawn to this place
> for a reason and assured them I was safe. As I hung up
> the phone I turned to the man next to me and we
> watched as dozens of police and firefighters began to
> make their way into the entrance of the tower.

THEN ALL AT ONCE THE GROUND SHOOK VIOLENTLY
AND IT SOUNDED AS IF A BOMB HAD BEEN DROPPED"

I cannot reveal the name of the person involved (for security reasons), all I can say is that they were an eye witness to what many of us already suspect - THAT THE TOWERS WERE IMPLODED BY EXPLOSIVES PLACED AT GROUND-ZERO PRIOR TO THE ATTACK - I have contacted the person in question via email and will try to find out more information. There may be other eyewitness accounts that will come forward.

You have my 100% assurance that the friend who sent this to me would not be perpetrating a hoax. She is completely devastated by the events and is not even thinking about conspiracy - but just marvelling at the courage and heroism of her friend who went into the tower to try to give help.

Below is the complete message as forwarded to me:

> The first thing I try to do every morning when I wake > up is ask God what it is He will have me do for him. I > pray that I will be a light for others so that through > me they can see that He is present. I pray that He > will use me to plant seeds that will bring others to > faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. > > September 11th started out just like an ordinary day. > I got into my office on Water St. at about 9am and was > greeted with a phone call from my friend. This was not > our daily discussion call, instead he informed me that a > plane had collided with a World Trade Center Tower. At > first we thought it was probably just a small aircraft > the lost control but then my building began to shake and > I looked out the window and saw both towers on fire. I > hung up and ran to the elevator knowing that my older > brother worked in the Towers and arrived daily underneath > on the subway.

Subject: A message from beyond

Last week on Tuesday night after all the literal dust had settled, I sat down to tune in to what was going on...and I mentioned in my email entitled "A perspective" about seeing all the people who had transitioned over. There was a particular picture that keeps coming to me and I'm being urged to share it so I shall because there is a huge message within it.   It's a story about a four year old little boy, his dad and one of the arab hijackers.  As I watched the scene through the "other realities" eyes, the arab was sitting on the curb feeling very despondent. He had passed over, done the wonderful thing that was to have saved his soul according to his faith, but here he was sitting on the streets of Manhattan with the other people who had also transitioned.  This little boy was leading people, his father included, away from the debris.  The little boy seemed to be the only one who truly understood what had happened. I asked him how it was he was so clear about it and he telepathed back to me that he had always been able to see into the other realities...and now, he said with a great smile, there are adults who will believe me.  With that he took his father's hand and he walked him over to where the arab sat despondently on the curb. The little boy reached to take the arab's hand and with his other hand in his father's hand, he smiled a smile that I will never in all my life forget. He knew. He knew what this was about and for and he was delivering us a message.

Do you see what it is?  We must understand.  We must go beyond the version of reality that is being presented to us by politicians, media, terrorists, or anyone else...even me. You must seek your own truth of this now. You must fund your own way to your own soul's version of this reality.  I pray that you will follow the lead of this little boy who knew the greater picture and who stood with that smile uniting those who would have the most to hate each other for.  It is time human race. We are at the threshold of profound potential for a new human future.

With love Soleira

Subject: Gotham Chopra

My name is Gotham Chopra and I am Deepak's son. I work with Channel One News, an educational news broadcast that is seen in an estimated 12.5 thousand secondary schools, as a TV reporter.

About a month ago, I rode up with two colleagues to the Northwest Frontier region of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan. We were covering a story on Islamic militancy training grounds based in Pakistani religious schools.  In the west they have widely been reported to be ground zero for the grooming of young Muslim boys into hostile anti-western terrorists. In Pakistan, both the government and the men at the school hotly contested  these claims, castigating the west for generating such racist propaganda. I traveled to this lost area with as little bias as possible - but with a certain and undeniable fear in my heart.

In the school itself, the chancellor was most kind and hospitable. He had us tour the grounds of the school, meet teachers and some of the boys -  though at first we weren't allowed to talk to them. We were then escorted into his private residence. The first thing I noticed on the center table was a bowl of big yellow mangoes and a picture.

The picture was of our host  - an older Muslim Mullah wearing a traditional white turban and a stained orange beard and his friend - Osama Bin Laden, the number one man on the FBI's list of Most Wanted. I asked our host if we could interview him. He agreed but insisted first that we share mangoes with him. I agreed and he took out a long knife and proceeded to slice the fruit for me. We slurped and chatted for a while and finally were permitted to turn on the camera.

I asked the Mullah a wide array of questions. "Did he hate the US? Why is there such Anti-Americanism in this part of the world?  Should Americans be afraid?"

He answered them all eloquently and without hostility.  He talked about the history of the US and Afghanistan, how during the Cold War, they were allies, united fighting a war against the Soviets.

"You gave us weapons and trained our men. You built our roads, fed our people. Do you realize young man that your government helps to create and to fund the Taliban because it was their interest to use Guerilla warfare and terrorist tactics against the Russians?  You made us your friend."

"But then your Cold War ended and you deserted us." At this point, there was a hint of animosity in his voice. "Because it was no longer in your selfish interest to have us as your allies, you abandoned us, left our people, hungry, and hateful. You turned your friends into foes because you used us like whores."

There was a silence between us.

Finally I asked him about the picture, about the nature of his relationship with Mr. Bin Laden.

"He's an old friend. And a good man."

I shook my head. "Is he a terrorist?"

"We don't call him that here." The Mullah made it clear he was not interested in talking any more. We shook hands. I thanked him for his hospitality.

On the way out I thought about that hospitality. I knew that the Mullah himself had endorsed a fatwa, or religious order, by Bin Laden several years ago urging Muslims to kill American civilians. But here was this man cutting mangoes for us and being very gracious.

"Today you are our guest. If we were not hospitable, we would be very ashamed.  But in times of war, yes you would be an enemy and we may kill you. Today a friend, tomorrow, inshallah (God willing), there will not be one."

"U.S. GOVERNMENT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF EMERGENCY"
by Sherman H. Skolnick 09/11/01


AMERICA'S REICHSTAG FIRE

The most massive so-called "terrorist" attacks on U.S. soil since the Oklahoma City bombings of 1995, were known, a week ahead of time, by the American CIA. Among the foreign intelligence agencies who penetrated the plots were the French CIA and Israel's The Mossad, units of both often working with one another.

Foreign intelligence sources confirm the validity of this story. And they state that they informed the U.S. secret police who absolutely failed, neglected, and outright refused to take action as to known prior specifics of which the top-level of the CIA were informed in advance.

Subject: This was so powerfully beautiful!


By Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times:

If there is to be a memorial, let it not be of stone and steel. Fly no flag above it, for it is not the possession of a nation but a sorrow shared with the world.

Let it be a green field, with trees and flowers. Let there be paths that wind through the shade. Put out park benches where old people can sun in the summertime, and a pond where children can skate in the winter.

Beneath this field will lie entombed forever some of the victims of September 11. It is not where they thought to end their lives. Like the sailors of the battleship Arizona, they rest where they fell.

Let this field stretch from one end of the destruction to the other. Let this open space among the towers mark the emptiness in our hearts. But do not make it a sad place. Give it no name. Let people think of it as the green field. Every living thing that is planted there will show faith in the future.

Let students take a corner of the field and plant a crop there. Perhaps corn, our native grain. Let the harvest be shared all over the world, with friends and enemies, because that is the teaching of our religions, and we must show that we practice them. Let the harvest show that life prevails over death, and let the gifts show that we love our neighbors.

Do not build again on this place. No building can stand there. No building, no statue, no column, no arch, no symbol, no name, no date, no statement. Just the comfort of the earth we share, to remind us that we share it.

Subject: Re: *The New Paradigm* vol. IV #13

Dear Harmon,
Thank you for the latest New Paradigm.  Excellent as usual.
I thought I would send you the words I wrote concerning the USA disaster after contemplating it all while doing the garden.


The American Crisis

This is the way I see the crisis in USA - the destruction of integral buildings with the transition of thousands of people. Everything is a reflection: this could not have happened to the people if they did not attract it to themselves with their very consciousness. America is in many ways the heart of the Western world, and we have indeed been hit in the heart. The emotional responses of many people are anger and revenge, but I do not hold any anger towards those ones that carried out this gigantic act of destruction. These people were only pawns in the picture, and allowed physical expression of a reflection of the consciousness of the people living in the Western world.

It is clear we are desperately in need of change, and the apathy and detachment, negative thoughts and action of so many people needed to be blown apart. All of us need to open our hearts and reach out to others. The victims of this act of destruction, and their families, for whom I have deep compassion, were the ‘whipping boys’ for the rest of us. The President of USA has shown very little leanings towards the light since he has taken office, and he is the man the American people chose to lead them. This man cries for revenge, thereby perpetuating the consciousness that has caused this chaos in the first place.

If we could all "forgive them for they know not what they do", we would be forgiving not only the perpetuators of the crime but ourselves as well, and the light that would shine over the Western world would repel any further attacks from the darkness. This is a great opportunity to grow into the great Nations we know we could be. America calls itself a democratic free society, but there are 35 million people living in poverty. This poverty has the effect of causing crime, disease and hopelessness amongst the people. Is this freedom?

As for those who planned and carried out this act, can we not accept that like attracts like, and that they will receive exactly that which they have given. We do not have to do anything, the law of cause and effect will do it. If we act in a peaceful, compassionate and understanding way we will reap the benefits a thousand fold. We will achieve nothing by holding hatred and anger in our hearts. It is time for a complete change within all of us. Those that have given their lives and their family members in order to create such an opportunity are to be honoured by us all.

Love Karen.

Subject: Your last New Paradigm

dear Harmon,
   thank you for your thoughts and comments. As usual they are correct and I agree and KNOW that there is NO death. However, phylosophying on this is only possible for those who have not lost any beloved one. To know and be aware that life can never not exist does not change one iota on the pain of separation from a loved one. No intellectual understanding can assuage the pain and grief caused by the sudden physical loss of the beloved one's touch,  voice, smile, witticism, sense of humour, laugh, love and affection gestures, and actual physical presence.

   I feel that the grief we always feel at the loss of loved ones is just a reflection and a reminder of the great grief buried within mankind psyche caused by our 'separation' from our Source long ago.

   The fact that the grief and outrage for so much loss of life has been felt by billions of people around the world confirms that mankind deeply feels the 'oneness' - the fact that in reality we are all one, and the pain of one is the pain of all, even though this is realized only by a great minority still.

   Regarding your comments about the "cowardy" word  used  by authorities and media I think that you are correct only if you look at their act from our perspective. They gave their life in the doing.... it must take courage.... that is valid only for people who value life and give their own to save somebody else life. These muslems fundamentalists have absolutely no respect for life, not even their own. They are brainwashed in believing that their god will reward them for murdering other people. Their greatest desire is to die a martyr, so they believe. So, in suicide attacks they do not display any courage. What they display is their own selfishness in pursueing their greatest desire with absolutely no concern for anybody else's desires. And the fact that they do so in such hidden fashion without facing the people they are going to murder....makes them COWARDS!

   I am glad somebody else has thought that there must have been bombs strategically placed in those two building. I too have thought that it was incredible and impossible for those two towers - constructed of steel and concrete, to disintegrate  completelyin that way. I could not understand how nobody in the media queried that or how engineers and architect did not mentioned that fact. Until I remembered that the media is own by the very cabals who create all conflicts in the world and this one is one of those conflicts created by them. So, not only the US gov knew about the forthcoming attack on those towers but they also planted bombs in the buildings which must have been remotely controlled. Not that I think that the US gov is worse or any different from other major govs in the world: they are all controlled by the same force who has all interest in creating so much havoc. Chaos create fear, fear creates anxiety and hate and this causes a great drop of our vibrations and thus of our mass-consciousness. They do not want mankind to awaken and, for the moment they have succeeded. Again.

   Of course, now they have a good 'excuse' to pass new bills to curtail our freedom even more and they are already doing it. And this is happening even here in Australia.

   I am quite angry at the galactic federation for not doing anything. Dammit, they claim they are our friends - they know we were getting very close to awaken all mankind and they stood by without doing anything! I cannot believe this!!! It would have been so very easy for them, with the technology in their possession, to remove these few who always interferes with our efforts. And again, like in our past, they stood by, watched and did nothing! I can't believe they call themselves our friends! We have a better idea of what 'friend' means.

   Now of course  there will be a rekindling of racism around the world against muslems in general which may even start civil wars in some countries. This will delay our mass awakening and mankind's acceleration of their vibrations from the famous 2012 to God knows when. I guess this explains why 'James' (Mahu Nahi) says it will take three generations more. I could not understand why the Wignmakers were talking of 3 generations longer before any real change will happen on this planet. Now I know. It makes me want to cry for all of us. How much more hurt, pain, misery, sacrifices, grief, hunger! So unnecessary!!! And as if we had not had enough of it!

   And our so-called 'galactic friends' did not see fit to intervene by at least removing the  remnants of those who took over the planet and enslaved mankind so long ago. Some friends!

   I am very aware of all that Mr. Lindenman says in his paper.

Take care, my friend, with love and friendship,

Gianfranca

Subject: Is the world a better place today?

September 20th, 2001

Is the world a different place today?  Absolutely!  Why?  Because so many people stood up in the last week and a half and said "I/we will be the creators of our world's reality!"  So many people have spoken forth in ways that they wouldn't have dreamed of doing two weeks ago. So many people have found themselves with more kindness towards one another, willing to lend a helping hand to a neighbour, lighting candles so that we can be seen from outer space as a united world.  But more than that, so many people came together all over the world as a collective consciousness to stand for, create, call forth and work with the new.

We are seeing the new everywhere, in our world leaders, in our children, in our workplaces, in the people's hearts and in their vocal expression of what they choose now as their reality.  It has been a pivotal moment in human history and we should take a few moments to congratulate ourselves and to celebrate this magnificent achievement.

But let's not forget that we must continue to create, live, work and play in this new reality in order for it to continue to be 'real'ised..  If you are working with the new, you may have experienced moments of pure joy in the past days, laughter bubbling up.  We have come to a place within ourselves that knows that the human experience no longer has to have pain and suffering to move to the next levels.  As closed and unaware human beings, we needed these experiences to prod us to grow and to learn.  But as open and aware human beings, we can seek the path of our own learning and growth in grace, without drama and trauma.

Last week we got to live on the profound edge of potential 'real'ising. This week don't let the afterglow of achievement and the complacency of normal life settling back in have us forget that this is the turning point, the moment in time when the future reality of our Earth is chosen.  It is a numbers game.  The more who choose a world of profound relationship and joy-filled living, the more likely it is that that will be our predominant reality.  Let the old world go.  Create, live, work and play in the new.  The more we can hold together in our consciousness that this is the new world, the more we can reach across the boundaries of separation to recognise and know one another, the more we ensure the living reality of a new future.

We have been asked by a number of people to continue the consciousness link-ups that took place last week, not because they're necessarily needed, but because we loved being together and creating together on a daily basis. If you would like to join us, we will be doing these link-ups daily at 10:30 pm our time (British Summer Time) each day.  If you'd like to find out what time that is in your time, you can check it at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/full.html.  If this time isn't convenient for you, simply sit down at whatever time works best for you and intend to be a part of it.  We are working beyond time now and our collective intention will allow you to be with everyone in the moment of your choosing.

These link-ups are for those who are fully intending to source the soul of a new humanity.  We develop profound connectedness with each other and all of humanity.  We seek wisdom and understanding to move profound potential into being for all people everywhere.  We are the dreamcreators of a new world and together we are creating what alone we could only dream.

Lots of love
Soleira

ps  Below are just a few more examples of the dreamcreators at work.  As you can see, our world is in good hands.  Thanks to all the wonderful people who've written and spoken powerfully for the new in the past week.


From Laylana
"... I live here in NYC, and it's momentous.  Right now, I'm not speaking of the destruction.  I'm speaking of the construction; the hands that went out to help when another hand needed to be held, or led, or freed, or fed.  The construction of friendships that transcended the horror of the moment and allowed pure human love to shine through that black fog of hate.  The construction of love that one human being gives to another, without request, without expecting gratitude.  The construction of a world where these feelings are a normal and everyday thing, not something that requires a tragedy to bring it out."   c.2001


Brooke Medicine Eagle from the Prophets Conference email http://www.greatmystery.org
"... The prophecies about the crises and challenges of this time on Earth are certainly coming true. We have the opportunity to do as the Ghost Dancers of old were shown in vision: dance your life in a holy way that holds all and everyone in the present moment light of a radiant new world. We must not again fail though divisiveness, hatred, fear, and unconscious negativity.  There is a beautiful new world awaiting our calling. Let us come together and call it forward with a joyful song in our hearts NOW.  We ARE creating Heaven on Earth....NOW. "


Will Wilkinson
Excerpt from A Prayer for a New America

"Wherever there has been hatred, let there now be love,
flowing from even the most secret corners of our hearts
to the furthest corners of this world.
We are peacemakers.
And this is the new America"


From Ray Driskill
"... The heroism displayed was not limited to those brave men on flight 93 over Pennsylvania. The janitors and cooks in the Pentagon chose, on some level, to volunteer, also. My tears and yours are the price of admission to this  place where we can finally access our spiritual potential.  Each of you know that this means YOU! Real, actual causal changes are required in the way we do bidness (for non-Texans spell that "business"). I have known for some months and years that one day MORE would be required of me, that the old "I am on the path" will not work anymore.   Now is the appointed time that we must step forward and admit to the Mastership (to whatever degree is real) that we have transformed to, to date. I know how to go within, and how to access much more power and grace than I have ever attempted to date. My still small voice is cranking up the volume. How about yours?"


From Shelley Wilmans
"Let's not get caught up in the illusion.  Remembering who we are - and who everyone else is, holding our centre and our own peace, knowing so completely that all this is a 'drama' to take us out of our perfection, our stillness, our peace.  Standing in light and holding only to truth is our job at the moment. Vigilence. Changing our perception.  Knowing Love is the bigger power."


From RobynJean Wolf
"... This is the  beginning of the final chapter of history, the superpower has fallen. World chaos can be overcome only by world harmony. This marks the beginning of peaceful, just and harmonious life for everyone.  The unfolding events of this week have changed everything for all of us. We the people must become the leaders so that the government follows, as Eisenhower said years ago.  Let us commit our hearts to staying united despite differences in color of skin, gender, culture or religious beliefs. We are One - 'Ye are all leaves of one tree and the fruits of one branch² The world of humanity is like a tree and the nations or peoples are the different limbs or branches and the individual humans are as the fruits and blossoms thereof.'

"I think we should send one million PEACE, LOVE, AND LIGHT cards to Taliban ruler Mullah Mohammed Omar.  Address: Kabul, Afghanistan.  This man thinks we in the West are awful people.  Let us show him that we awful people like PEACE, LOVE, AND LIGHT.  Send him a card.  Remember a few years ago, just before Christmas, when an American flyer crashed into Syria and he was imprisoned?  We all sent him Christmas  cards.  I remember he was released speedily.  Yes, let us send Taliban ruler Mullah Mohammed Omar PEACE, LOVE, AND LIGHT cards to show him what we want.  If one million aren't enough, we'll send him another million."


From WilliRose
"I work in a cluster of six radio stations on the Central California Coast. On Tuesday 9/11,  everything changed for us as well.  All programming stopped and we opened up the phone lines for talk.  The news/talk station I work for took the calls and the program was simulcast on all the other stations.  Normally we all go about our own business, each to his or her own audience, never crossing.  But that day there was a coming together of one mind in allowing people all over our service area to air their thoughts: anger, fear, confusion, etc.  Other than what our hosts were able to do to calm people down, callers reacted to each other as well.  If someone was angry and wanted to indiscriminately destroy anyone who might be involved...they were quickly diffused by hosts and other callers.  The angry person inevitably called back to apologize. We kept the lines open until midnight, some people having been on the air for 19 hours straight, just talking.  The talk lines never died.  It was amazing to be a part of the whole thing, watching humanity evolve.

Over the next few days, we opened the lines up, this time each station doing it's own thing.  We talked.  Two other stations gathered up money through auctions, etc. to send to the Red Cross efforts.  We saw the change in people.  Only love.  We saw a nation coming together with one purpose, waving the flag of unity.  When other countries joined us in our grief, that affected me most of all.  Newspaper letters from Canada caught my eye.  But when, during the changing of the guard on your side of the world, the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," there wasn't a dry eye anywhere.  That was so comforting to know we weren't alone.  It became a world crisis rather than just a national one.

I pray that President Bush makes the right decisions for what happens next. Right now I see a new world love energy all being directed to the people and workers in New York.  Kids at the county fair yesterday, gave all the money they made in the 4H projects (around $1,000 each) to the firefighters in New York.  People are giving, giving, giving to the clean up efforts.  Personal stories are circulating over the internet...from many who escaped the catastrophe.  The new world must overcome the old and now is the time."


From Joyce Kovelman
"We must remember this day, 9-1-1, 2001 and move forward as a society, a country and a people.  Let us evolve into a peaceful people, strong in the ways of healing, strong in the conviction that life is a sacred gift, that each of us is precious, and that everyone  carries a spark of the divine within.  I urge all of us to honor the sanctity of life, to recognize the preciousness of each moment, and to remember to tell our loved ones that they are truly and dearly loved by us.  Don't wait.  The events of September 11, 2001 reminds us that sometimes this opportunity comes too late.  Carpe Diem! Seize the moment, tell those you love how much you care.  And remember to tell them often!"


From Santari Green (my wonderful husband)
An excerpt from Cosmic Conversations to the Cosmic Creators Club
http://www.SOULutions.co.uk
" ... 18th September. That morning has come. What wondrous dreams will you live to fulfilment? Who are we today? Can we see / claim ourselves as Gods and Goddesses, as Visionary Creators, or as Star Makers? As evolutionary beings of great understanding and of great commitment to what can best unfold for all of creation, in our one world reality. The opportunity awaits to speak this. Each one of us must cross the threshold of speaking what comes up to speak and of taking the actions that our historical selves have long kept in check. Each day is new, each day we are new. What was not possible yesterday can become possible today. Can we share that together as being true?

If this simple story I have told is the modern equivalent to Genesis then even the people who will never read this story will be affected by the changes that it charts.  Changes in their energy fields, their consciousness and their place in creation. Creation never ended on the seventh day. It never ends. There are transitions though as we expand our possibilities for evolvement. More becomes clearer and it is our ability to move beyond yesterday's truths that ensure that evolvement.

What will humanity make of these moments I wonder to myself? More than just a story. But my personal desire for change has already overtaken my old desire for silence."

Dear Harmon:

Thank you so much for your email. We have received so much love and support from all over the world. It is heartening to know what a vast number of loving and concerned people are out there, all of us working together to strengthen love and peace in our world.

It is debatable whether signing this sort of email petition has any effect, since there is no way to validate the signatures.. We believe that there are more effective ways of promoting peace.

Serge sent me this letter and asked me to share it with people who ask how they can join us in facilitating the peace and healing process.

Dear Friends,
When a great tragedy occurs the most natural thing to do for people with any degree of compassion is to want to help. If we are on the site we can plunge in with our minds and hearts and hands, like all the rescue workers, medical personnel and blood donors are doing now. If we are not on site we can donate money to onsite helping organizations like the Red Cross and others, or we can pray for the victims and their friends and families. Still, none of this seems like enough and a sense of helplessness can move many people toward feelngs of anger and retribution, or fear and confusion.

Let's give our desire to help a clear and effective focus. In addition to whatever else you feel is appropriate, let's give our prayers, energy, light, love, journeys and any other distant healing we can use to support the helpers, healers and peacemakers in the area of the tragedy, across America and throughout the world who are working to assist those in pain and to resolve the problems caused by what has happened. Especially whenever a sense of helplessness arises, let us bless and strengthen their spirits and actions.

Each time you become aware again of what happened and/or what's being done about it, here are some specific suggestions of what to do:

  1. Pray to a higher power to help the helpers (which includes healers and peacemakers).

  2. Imagine the helpers being surrounded by healing light and/or being assisted by angels or other spirit helpers.

  3. If you know how, do an inner symbolic journey to help the helpers.

  4. To the best of your ability, take the time to bring your own spirit to a state of peace by meditating on the beauty and goodness in the world, and practice positive expectation no matter what happens that the work of the helpers will be successful, in this world or another. This may be the most difficult thing of all to do ... and the most beneficial.

If you want to give your help a more tangible expression, go to our Online Healing Circle at http://www.huna.org/html/hcircle.html and follow the instructions.

May your thoughts and your lives be filled with loving power and powerful love. Aloha from Serge

I have just sent out the new Message, "The Crossroads," (it is up on the site, also) and wanted to share a little of what I felt and "got" when it came in. First of all, the content surprised me in two ways. On the surface, it seemed to be more superficial than the previous Message, but it also felt like there was MUCH more being said under the surface, for those "who have ears to hear." The second thing I realized was that it doesn't just address the past week of events and our response to that situation, but that there will be other such times in the future, when we will need to remember this counsel. We may have gotten tired of watching the television this time around, but what will we do when the next shock arrives, and the one after that, and the one after that?

I also felt so much love and compassion as this one came through. There was such a deep understanding of how we feel as we watch the world come unraveled. I get many e-mails, all across the spectrum of experience. There are some of you who are more aware than others of some of the things that are playing out in the background. Many of you are still caught up in the idea of persuading the President, Congress, or some other governing body to choose a different course. Some of you still feel that you can turn things around if you can only muster enough people to go in that direction. All of those feelings and efforts are a form of distraction, that keep you thinking that there is something you can DO about what is going on. When you do this, you give energy to a situation that is beyond your ability to change, and you take energy away from those actions that can truly empower you.

When "Shattering Glass" came through, I was able to glimpse where the rest of the story is going: full Mastery. Everything that is being said now has to do with developing the awareness of where we must go (to full Mastery) if we are to be powerful enough to truly help. In the meantime, there is the discipline of surrender and radiating love into the world. All these petitions that are circulating are a form of resistance to what is going on, and keep one from accepting what must be accepted. When one is in resistance, he/she is not in their quiet center, accepting the sacredness of the moment. I can tell you that there is peace to be found in the midst of this chaos. And as the chaos increases, which it surely will, it will be even more important to drop out of resistance, into surrender and the peace and calm of that release.

I have gotten letters from some people who have just discovered the material who say they were suicidal until they found "Shattering Glass." I myself have been acutely suicidal at one time, when everything in my life had imploded and I felt overwhelmed by it all, so I do understand. Things are just beginning, and they will get much more intense, so it is vitally important that each one of us chooses to stay clear of the chaos. We do much more for the world by our being calm and radiating love into the world than all the protests combined. Calm acceptance is the first step to true power. We are on the way to becoming Masters, and that requires us to go beyond the surface phenomena, to see everything for what it is, and then to transcend it all. I feel certain the Messages will show us the steps and point the way as things unfold, and I wanted to tell you that THIS Message is a very key one, one you will want to return to over and over again, despite it seeming so simple. It is very rich with many levels and textures and can help you as you come to the crossroads, over and over again.

On other fronts, enough people signed up for the OT Family Forums that we have purchased the server space and are setting up the forums now. All memberships that are signed up before Oct. 2 will go through October 31, 2001, so this is your chance to get some extra days for your dollars. Information on the Forums is up on the site. Click on the link from the Home Page or on the Forums button at the bottom of the page. We will be notifying the people who have signed up when it is time to register on the server, and that should be very soon.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and donations for our two cats. Some of you sent healing energy, and some of you counseled me. All was received gratefully, and they are both doing better today, and so am I. I still need two things: financial assistance, and help with getting these books into libraries. If you are in the US or Canada, please ask your local libraries to order the book, or order some yourself and donate them. A big thank you to all who have contributed so far. If you want to know more about how to donate to OT or about purchasing books, see the links on the home page ("book" and "How to Support This Work").

There is much more to come, so stay tuned!

Peace and blessings,

Excerpts from President Bush's speech to the United States


* * *

"Americans are asking: Who attacked our country?

"The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al-Qaeda. They are the same murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for the bombing of the USS Cole.

"Al-Qaeda is to terror what the mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money; its goal is remaking the world, and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere."


* * *

"Americans are asking: Why do they hate us?

"They hate what we see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.

"They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.

"These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way.

"We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century.

"By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."


* * *

"Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war?

"We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war -- to the disruption and defeat of the global terror network.

"This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with its decisive liberation of territory and its swift conclusion.

"It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat.

"Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have seen.

"It may include dramatic strikes, visible on television, and covert operations, secret even in success.

"We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism.

"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

"From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

"Our nation has been put on notice: We are not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans.

"Today, dozens of federal departments and agencies, as well as state and local governments, have responsibilities affecting homeland security. These efforts must be coordinated at the highest level. So tonight I announce the creation of a Cabinet-level position reporting directly to me: the Office of Homeland Security.

"These measures are essential. But the only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it, and destroy it where it grows.

"Many will be involved in this effort, from FBI agents to intelligence operatives to the reservists we have called to active duty. All deserve our thanks, and all have our prayers."

Subject: Fw: A message from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Dear Harmon,
I received the below letter to-day. It is I believe an important message for all people on the planet at this time.
Regards,Les.

Subject: FW: A message from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Mitakuye (my relative),
I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation,  would  like to ask for this time for you to understand an Indigenous perspective  in reflection of what has happened in America, what we call "Turtle  Island".

For the past six years, my work has concentrated on an effort on uniting  the Global community, through a message from our sacred ceremonies in  recognizing a day of World Peace and Prayer on June 21st as a time to  unite  spiritually, each in our own ways of beliefs in the Creator. We have been  warned from the messages, passed down from Ancient Prophecies of these  times we live in today, but also a very important message of a solution to  turn these terrible times around.

To assist you in understanding the depth of this message involves the recognition in the importance of Sacred Sites. It is important that you  realize the whole interconnectedness of what is happening today, in reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other lands  and  our own Americas. I have been learning about these important issues of  Sacred Sites since the age of 12, upon receiving the Sacred White Buffalo  Calf Pipe Bundle and it's teachings.

Our people have strived to protect Sacred Sites from the beginning of time.  There needs to be an understanding in the concern of the protection of  Sacred Sites that goes deeper than just the issue of Shrines built by  humans. Our people have built similar objects and Shrines to identify and  to remind the significance in the power of the Sacred Site. We have also  witnessed them being destroyed for many decades, but we also realize it is  what is underneath them that is important. These places have been  violated  for centuries and have brought us to this predicament that we are in concerning the unstable Global Level thus far. Look around you, our  Mother Earth is very ill from these violations and we are at a brink of  destroying  a healthy and nurturing survival for generations to come, our children's  children.

Our ancestors have been trying to protect our Sacred Site from the  continued violations called the Sacred Black Hills in SD, "Heart of  Everything that is". Our ancestors never seen this site from a Satellite  view, but now that those pictures are available with modern technology, we  see that it is in the shape of a heart and when fast forwarded it looks  like a heart pumping. The Dine have been protecting Big Mountain, calling it the liver and now  that the coal is depleting, we are suffering and going to suffer more from  the extraction of the coal and poison processes used in doing so.

The Aborigines has warned of the contaminating effects on the Corral Reefs  from Global Warming, which they see as Mother Earth's blood purifier, our  sacred water is being polluted.

The Indigenous people of the Rain Forest relay that the Rain Forest are  the  lungs and need protection and now we see the Brazilian Government approved  the depletion of 50% of this Sacred Site.

The Gwich'in Nation has an issue of oil drilling in the Arctic National  Wildlife Refuge coastal plain, also known to the Gwich'in as "Where the  life begins!"

The coastal plain is also the birthplace of many other life forms of  Animal  Nations. The death of these Animal Nations will destroy Indigenous  Nations  in this territory.

As these destructive developments continue all over the world, we will  witness many more extinct Animal, Plant and Human Nations, because of the  misuse of power that mankind has made and their lack of understanding the  "balance of life".

The Indigenous people warn that these destructive  developments will cause havoc globally. There are many, many more  Indigenous awareness's and knowledge of Mother Earth's Sacred Sites, connections (Mother Earth's Charkas) to our spirit that will surely affect our future generations. These people are still suffering from this  contamination and their livelihood is being destroyed as I write this to  you. There needs to be a fast move toward other forms of energy that are  safe for all Nations upon Mother Earth. We need to understand the whole  picture in the type of minds that are continuing to destroy the spirit of our whole Global Community. Unless we do this, the powers of destruction  will overwhelm us.

Our Ancestors foretold that water would someday be for sale. Back then  this was hard to believe, since the water was so plentiful, so pure, and  so  full of energy, nutrition and spirit. Today we have to buy pure water, and  even then the nutritional minerals have been taken out; it's just empty  liquid. Someday water will be like gold, too expensive to afford. Not everyone will have the right to drink safe water. We fail to appreciate  and honor our Sacred Sites, ripping out the minerals and gifts that lay  underneath them, as if Mother Earth were simply a resource, instead of the  Source of Life itself.

Attacking Nations and having to utilize more resources to carry out the destruction in the name of Peace and elimination is not the answer! We  need to understand how all these decisions affects the Global Nation, we will not be immune to it's repercussions. To allow continual  contamination  of our food and land, is now affecting the way we think. A "disease of  the  mind" has set in World Leaders and many members of our Global Community, with their understanding that a solution of retaliation and destruction of  peoples will bring Peace. In our Prophecies it is told that we are now at  the Crossroads, either unite Spiritually as a Global Nation, or be faced  with chaos, disasters, diseases and tears from our relatives eyes.

In times of disasters it is sad to say that it is the only time that we  unite spiritually, but we must not taint it with anger and retaliation. We  are the only species that is destroying the Source of life, meaning Mother  Earth, in the name of power, mineral resources and ownership of land, using methods of chemicals and warfare that is becoming irreversible, as Mother  Earth is becoming tired and can not sustain any more impacts of war.

I ask you to join me on this endeavor. Our vision is for the Peoples of all  continents, regardless of their beliefs in the Creator, to come together as one at their Sacred Sites at that sacred moment of what is known as the Summer Solstice of June 21st, to pray and meditate and commune with one  another, thus promoting an energy shift to heal our Mother Earth and  achieve a universal consciousness toward attaining Peace. As each day  passes bringing us to this day of concentration together, I ask the Global  Nations to begin a Global effort, in knowing that each and every one of us are making a daily effort in waking to a gratitude of another day, that is  gifted to us and begin to remember to give thanks for the Sacred Food that has been also gifted to us by our Mother Earth, so the nutritional energy of medicine can be guided to heal our minds and spirits.

This new millennium will usher in an age of harmony or it will bring the end of life as we know it. Starvation, war and toxic waste have been the hallmark of the Great Myth of Progress and Development that ruled the last millennium. To us, as caretakers of the heart of Mother Earth, falls the responsibility of turning back the powers of destruction. We have come to  a time and place of great urgency. The fate of future generations rests  in our hands. We must understand the two ways we are free to follow, as we choose the positive way or the negative way -- the spiritual way or the material way. It's our own choice -- each of ours and all of ours. You  yourself are the one who must decide. You alone -- and only you -- can  make this crucial choice. Whatever you decide is what you'll be, to walk  in honor or to dishonor your relatives. You can't escape the consequences  of your own decision. On your decision depends the fate of the entire World. You must decide. You can't avoid it. Each of us is put here in  this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did  you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? Know that you yourself are essential to this World.  Believe that!

Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are  desperately needed to save the soul of this World. Did you think you were  put here for something less?   In a Sacred Hoop of Life, where there is no beginning and no ending!  Mitakuye Oyasin,

Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Message from the Inner Realms on the Attack on America
by David Spangler

Over the past few days since the tragic destruction of the WTC, several folks have asked me to comment on the inner side of this event or wondered if I had any particular insights into what has been happening on the inner realms.

The truth is that for all of Tuesday and Wednesday, I was simply too caught up in the enormity of the tragedy to be able to tune in properly. I needed to process my own feelings. When I did try to journey inwardly into the situation, I encountered such a powerful maelstrom or cloud of psychic energy around it that all I could do was to enter it and hold a peaceful, loving center.

Just as survivors of the WTC collapse have spoken of being enveloped in dust so thick and black that they couldn't even see their hands in front of their faces, so it was for me entering this cloud of emotion, thought, and energy. All I could experience within it was sorrow, grief, fear, and anger, and all I could do was simply be a point of holding and peace within it. I had little ability to see into the higher domains where some deeper information or insight might be available.

Late Wednesday afternoon, however, I was contacted by a being with whom I have had prior contacts and who appears to me to be one of many beings whose function is to nourish the ongoing evolution and well-being of this nation.

I suppose I think of this being as an agent of the Soul of America. Through this contact, a series of images and insights began to unfold for me, but it has taken me two days to get a good handle on the information, and chances are I will still be processing it for days to come. As the effect of this contact has deepened for me, it has also made it possible for me to journey into the situation and observe for myself some of the energies and forces at work.

Because of this I have two levels of information. One comes from an inner plane being and the second comes from my own observations working on the inner planes. I want to differentiate clearly between these two. Both draw on different capabilities. In the first case, the trustworthiness of the information depends on my skills as a mediator and translator of another being's perceptions; in the second case, the trustworthiness depends on my abilities as an observer and is affected by my interpretation of what I have seen and my thoughts about its meaning. I have reasonably good trust in myself and in my skills in both instances, but you need to evaluate the information for yourselves, so you need to know what information is coming from what source.

In any event, as most of you know, information received using intuitive skills from the inner worlds or from inner beings is not to be given any greater authority or weight than you would give to any other information, particularly when it comes from an ordinary, human source. It is still one person's (or one being's)  perspective, and you must receive it and evaluate it using the integrity and independence of your own thinking and feeling and the guideline of your own soul and spirit.

In this email, I will share what I received from my inner contact. In a later email I will share my own observations and thoughts.

What this being said and showed me could be translated in this way (understand that it takes me more words to express it than it did the being to communicate with me!):

"What has taken place is an act of sacrifice and a gift given by the Soul of America to the world at large. To understand this, you must know two things. The first  is that whenever a death occurs, for whatever reason, whether peacefully or in violence, an energy of spirit is released. An incarnational portal is opened, just as it is at birth. This energy is neutral or perhaps I should say, unformed. It is a gift that flows between the worlds.

"What is shaped from this gift is up to those who receive it, as well as by the one whose death has released it.  Think of this energy the way your biologists and doctors  think of a stem cell: it is capable of being shaped and  particularized in many ways.

"When a death occurs peacefully or as an act of courage and sacrifice, or when the one dying does so in a loving or blessingful way, then this energy is given a spin in a certain direction and can be a source of blessing for others. It lends itself to being shaped in positive ways.

"If the death is violent and hateful, a different spin is given, and this energy can more readily be shaped in hateful ways. However, this is not a rule, and even hateful and violent deaths can generate an energy that will ultimately be shaped in loving, healing, or transformative ways.

"Think of this energy as a kind of inheritance. It is a gift from the dead, a gift from the dying. It is a gift to life, even, you may say, a gift of life that can add to and bless the lives of those who remain physically embodied. Not all inheritances are spent wisely or well, not all gifts are used with grace and blessing, but the gift itself is there nonetheless.

"The giving of this gift is an act of soul and is automatic. It is really an act inherent in the boundary between your world and ours, a result of crossing that boundary. To release this energy and to give this gift is not a conscious decision on the part of the one who has crossed the portal, but someone who dies in a mindful and loving way will greatly add to this gift and turn it from an unconscious energy into a consciously positive one.

"Also, if love is present in the last moments of physical life, even if the death is violent or as a result of hateful acts, this gift can emerge untainted by the hate that may have caused the killing. Many of those who died in this event did so with thoughts of love and courage. We can see this, and the importance of this cannot be underestimated. They have left a powerful gift of energy.

"That is one matter. As you know, there is a resevoir of fear and pain, suffering and anger, hatred and separation in your world. Why this is so is not of concern at this moment; suffice to say it is ancient in origin and that all peoples contribute to it and have therefore a responsibility towards it. All people suffer from it, whatever nation they belong to.  It is a human problem, not a national or tribal one.

"In this event, the Soul of America has acted in a sacrificial way to take on a portion of this energy and hopefully transmute it. It has been doing this for some time, and in this event, some of that sacrificial activity has manifested itself into the physical. There are energies of hatred and violence circling your world, so to speak, looking to land, and all nations, including your own, are contributing to this simply because people contribute to it in millions of small and mindless ways.

"That this particular energy landed in your nation in this way was partly a matter of consequences returning for certain patterns and actions you have set into motion. You cannot avoid paying a price for your own acts of violence in the world.

"But in spite of what many may say about America's responsibility, this action was not primarily one of retribution or of paying a price. It was an act of sacrifice, a deliberate taking on of a portion of the world's hatred and suffering because the soul of America has the capacity to receive this hatred and transmute it. This is not a test of whether or not you can do so; you have already done so.

"An energy of violence needed to be grounded and was going to land somewhere. The soul of this country took it on, knowing it could absorb this blow. An energy of love and courage has been released into the world. There will be changes and there will be blessings.

"This has happened whatever the immediate response of your people and your government may be. If your response is one that recycles the hatred in acts of revenge, this does not mean you have failed a test, only that you have not yet achieved a place of inner confidence and courage in which you can trust in a spirit of love and healing. But you will reach that place eventually.

"You must understand this. The Soul of America is far more than its government or any one group of people. Even if your government or members of your citizenry react with hatred and seek simple revenge, this does not mean that everyone reacts that way nor does it mean that a deepening of spirit has not taken place. For those whose desire to love, to forgive, to be peacemakers has been quickened by this event, let them extend this inclusionary, embracing spirit to their fellows, even to those who, in their own anger and pain, now seek revenge.

"The gift of this sacrifice can be received in many ways by people. For those who can receive it in a way that takes them into the deepest places of love and the celebration of the common spirit of humanity, and whose hearts can be opened to forgive, let them be grateful, but they should not condemn those who will receive this gift in different ways. If your heart is broken and opened to love, this is a grace for you to embody, not a club for you to hold over your brother's or sister's heart.

"The energy behind this event needed to be received by humanity, much as the energy in a storm needs to be discharged by lightning. It could have been much worse; its effects were greatly mitigated, in no small measure by the fact that it was taken on by this country. It is also true that even worse acts of violence have been and are being contemplated.

"It is the hope of the Soul of America and of all of us who serve that great Being and serve this country from the realms of spirit that by taking on this event and the release of the energy behind it, as well as the release of the transformative power of the sacrificial act, will greatly lessen or dissolve the potential of these worse acts.

"Has America lost its protection from spirit?  No. You are greatly protected. Bolts have formed that have never struck you and were diverted. This protection will not cease. But you are all in a stormy world. The charges of hatred and fear are strong in all countries, and these attract and form the bolts of violence that strike your world. If a bolt gets through, it is unfortunate, but you must think of all the bolts that did not.

"I have spoken of this as a sacrificial act made by the Soul of America. Did those who were killed have any choice in the matter? What we see is that many of those who perished had indeed made an agreement at a soul level to participate in this sacrificial act, to make it their portal for entry into our world; others did not but were drawn into the event for a great many reasons personal to them and their destinies. They could not have avoided it.

"But many had not chosen this way to die nor were bound to the event by chains of attraction or consequence, and they were not touched,sometimes for miraculous reasons but mostly because of how the event actually unfolded in time and space. In any event, all who died were immediately embraced by the love that led the Soul of America to offer itself in this way, and their entry into our world was graced and blessed by this spirit.

"But as I have described, all who died gave the gift of energy released by their dying. And in the opening of the portal so powerfully by the deaths of so many, this gift of life from death, even though initiated by the hatred of a few, became a channel for an outpouring of the love that is at the heart of America. It is, I know, a painful gift, but it is a gift nonetheless. It is for you who remain to take that gift and reshape your world with it. It is a precious thing, and it can remake your world.

"I bless you."

Subject: The Dismantling of America

http://www.brojon.com by Marshall Smith

THE DISMANTLING OF AMERICA

The current "war" on Afghanistani terrorism is a mis-direction and a hoax. As pointed out in the book "Black Gold Hot Gold" the oil expected to flow from the vast oilfields under the Russian Caspian Sea, discovered about 20 years ago remains undrilled and untapped. That field contains about 500 years worth of oil at present world consumption rates.

The only possible oil pipeline routes at the present time to handle the massive flow of oil from the Caspian Sea region under Chenya is either through Kosovo to the Mediterranean Sea, or through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Indian Ocean. Two years ago, the Clinton administration attempted to place Kosovo under international control and begin pipeline construction, but was unable to complete the process.

The normal oil route would have been to move oil from Chenya, across the Black Sea and through the Bosporus to the Mediterranean. But the narrow Bosporus channel is already clogged with oil tankers from the existing Black Sea oilfields. The only alternate is to move the tankers from the Black Sea, bypassing the Bosporus, up the Danube River and then through a very short pipeline across Kosovo to the Mediterranean at Tirana, Albania. That process was stopped by the Chinese who have supplied and armed the Albanians, as a client state, since 1949.

U.S. Vows To Defeat Whoever It Is We're At War With


WASHINGTON, DC—In a televised address to the American people Tuesday, a determined President Bush vowed that the U.S. would defeat "whoever exactly it is we're at war with here."

"America's enemy, be it Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, a multinational coalition of terrorist organizations, any of a rogue's gallery of violent Islamic fringe groups, or an entirely different, non-Islamic aggressor we've never even heard of... be warned," Bush said during an 11-minute speech from the Oval Office. "The United States is preparing to strike, directly and decisively, against you, whoever you are, just as soon as we have a rough idea of your identity and a reasonably decent estimate as to where your base is located."

Added Bush: "That is, assuming you have a base."

Bush is acting with the full support of Congress, which on Sept. 14 authorized him to use any necessary force against the undetermined attackers. According to House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL), the congressional move enables the president to declare war, "to the extent that war can realistically be declared on, like, maybe three or four Egyptian guys, an Algerian, and this other guy who kind of looks Lebanese but could be Syrian. Or whoever else it might have been. Because it might not have been them."

I have just sent out the new Message, "Many Worlds, Many Destinations," and it is also up on the site. The depth of this Message is incredible, more so than any so far, and I encourage you to read it slowly, because it is more packed with layers of meaning than anything that has come through before. Just this one Message should have you rethinking just about every definition and concept you have about the nature of reality and especially your understanding of the real meaning of the word "responsibility." I am still nearly breathless from working with this material, and I encourage you to spend some time on the site contemplating the images that I have picked to go with it, especially with your ability to FEEL into what is being said and transmitted.

The time of changes is upon us now, and I am gradually adapting to the speed and relentlessness of the process. For the past few days, the overall energy has felt very unsettled and I heard a low growl in it, like a wild animal snarling before it springs forward to attack. Something is building again, toward the next shock, and it strikes me that while the US government is moving to protect the airports and air transportation system, it is almost certain that the next event in the awakening will not be in those places, but somewhere else, totally unexpected, and for which there has been no preparation.

On a happier note, both of our cats are mending and I want to thank all of those who sent donations, prayers, love, and counsel in response to my request for help. The Operation Terra Family Forums have been launched and are proceeding well, and the energy there is what I had hoped to see. The sharing is still in the beginning stages, as people begin to feel safe to speak their truth without being laughed at or judged or considered crazy. The format and interaction seems to be working well, and I expect more people will join in as time goes on. If you want more information about the Forums, you can click on the link in the box with the flashing stars or the Forums button (bottom of page) on the home page of the site, and it will take you there.

I feel the moment is very pregnant and that things are going to be moving again soon. The stock market is doing pretty much what I expected--bobbling up and down for a time, buoyed up by the frantic moves to throw money at the US economy in various ways. Again, if you are new to this list, I recommend getting out of speculative markets, simplifying, and cutting down debt. Don't be lured by the low interest rates into increasing your debt or spending money on you something you don't really need. Keep your financial risk low. Put your money into insured, short term savings accounts, with the emphasis on safety and liquidity, rather than earnings. Higher earnings carry higher risk. If you happen to be fortunate enough to have abundant funds, husband them wisely, for you may need them later on. My intuitive feeling is that precious metals may be confiscated later on, so I don't consider them a safe haven, and they also are not a convenient means of exchange in a barter economy. These are my personal feelings and opinions, and each of you reading this must listen within yourself for your own intuitive sense of what is right for you.

There is no doubt in my mind that the planet is ascending now, and that the process is unstoppable at his point in time. Earth has a "date with destiny" and so do we. After so many years of waiting and waiting, and asking "when?"--well, "when" has arrived and the waiting is over. The acceleration is breathtaking, and it is just as possible to feel joy as it is to feel sorrow or anger. It is so good to see the family gathering now, and I am sure that more are on the way!

Peace and blessings,
Lyara
