			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to share this very special photograph with you because it was mentioned in a message I received from Archangel Michael today while working with a client. It&#8217;s not just an event of the aurora borealis. It&#8217;s not a missile trail. It&#8217;s very important for this to be understood by the world for what it really is, as it can play an important role in your spiritual awakening. Click on the red &#8220;read more&#8221; link below.</p>
<p>What Archangel Michael said was that this is a very special, God-created phenomena that that the power to awaken your DNA. During the counseling session he said that we were both to look at this picture for 15 minutes and “soak up the energy” of it.</p>
<p>I was instructed by Archangel Michael to go into the other room where Matthew had set this up this morning as a screen saver on our computer screen. I hadn’t looked at it before, and when I saw it I was amazed. It truly releases an energy that I felt affecting my body and DNA as well as my awareness, and I felt somewhat transfixed. I felt a bit dizzy and sat down. My client also said he felt much the same when Matthew came out and email the image to him.</p>
<p>So here you are, with a new tool for your awakening. Again, sit and look at it for about 15 minutes a day for three days, then ten minutes for two days, then after that anytime you feel drawn to look at it, and in this process it will continue to power the activation of your DNA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MARTIAL LAW SURVIVAL GUIDE by J. Croft, March 9, 2006</p>
<p>This article will start off assuming that the Reader (you) is already subject to MARTIAL LAW; that is, the &#8220;suspension&#8221; of the Constitution. Curfews, rationing of basic goods, enforced relocations, confiscation of firearms and supplies, and summary arrest/execution by soldiers, paramilitary police and other jack booted chumps in black wielding assault rifles. Basic survival tips will be followed by more detailed ideals on how to counter this coup against the American People.<span id="more-68"></span></p>
<p>The remainder will apply IF you&#8217;re reading this before MARTIAL LAW is imposed by the current corrupt government. IF you are reading this while you still nominally under Constitutional Law, it&#8217;s urgent you read from the beginning to end so as to appreciate the opportunities you currently have to not only protect yourself and yours, but to attempt to stop a coup.</p>
<p>SECTION ONE: SURVIVING MARTIAL LAW</p>
<p>Rule #1</p>
<p>Never take the government&#8217;s word at face value-except when they tell you that they&#8217;ll kill you.</p>
<p>Government-it&#8217;s components of career politicians, bureaucratic vermin, and SS ninja wannabes live, have lied. For a lot longer than you&#8217;d think. It&#8217;s the very job; being part of an empire wrapped in the cloak of American political traditions of Freedom, that corrupts. All that power, attracting the most venal along with the most patriotic to defend America. All that license under ever mutable law written by money whores to lie, steal, embezzle, blackmail, extort, poison, torture, enslave, murder.</p>
<p>Is it any wonder then that such human scum would get together and work &#8220;the system&#8221; to set themselves up as kings, dispensing with the pretty coverings of Constitutional limitations that trip their crimes like a prom dress? Taking as much as they can, while keeping YOU ASLEEP AS YOU LET YOURSELF BE SEDUCED AND PUT ASLEEP BY THEIR FELLOW TRAVELLERS IN THE MEDIA AND CORPORATE BOARDS?</p>
<p>Yes: a lot of the blame can be laid on your shoulders, American. You dropped the ball with going along with not finding the truth about JFK&#8217;s assassination. Dropped the ball with MLK, RFK, Malcolm X. Dropped the ball with Vietnam, the air trafficker&#8217;s strike that Reagan crushed, Iran-Contra. Dropped the ball with the 92 election-picking that drug runner and murderer Bill Clinton because he was charming… like a pimp. And boy did he pimp you out at the expense of Randy Weaver and his family, the 81 casualties at Waco, the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. You were too busy following Micheal Jordan and watching Friends.</p>
<p>Then you assholes really dropped it when George W. Bush STOLE the Presidency, with the media not even allowing a Ross Perot to run. If you would&#8217;ve elected him in 1992 in fact America could&#8217;ve been saved. BUT, you&#8217;d rather take government careerists at their word and plan your next outing to the mall than save your nation. Save your jobs, your freedoms, YOUR government.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s gone. The criminals that&#8217;ve systematically taken over YOUR government they&#8217;ve removed the last vestiges of Constitutional law. Now it&#8217;s law by the barrels of their assault rifles in your face-do ANYTHING other than obey in utter fear and you&#8217;re dead. Or worse. You listened to their lies for over a century, you and your ancestors-where has it gotten you? Don&#8217;t take their word on any &#8220;news&#8221; they have. Nor take their advice, their &#8220;assistance&#8221; their laws at face value because they manipulate everything they do to screw you.</p>
<p>What you can take their word on is, if you DON&#8217;T go along with them screwing you, they&#8217;ll kill you for it.</p>
<p>Rule #2</p>
<p>KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!</p>
<p>Do NOT tell anyone anything that could get you in trouble. Assume anything can get you in trouble, because it probably will. Especially with any government official, but anyone looking to gaining a favor with the state can and will snitch on you. The rat who would sell you out for his thirty pieces could be:</p>
<p>*A small businessman looking for an in with the state so he can make money a little easier.</p>
<p>*A former friend who&#8217;s looking to get some revenge.</p>
<p>*Someone desperate for even some food. Times are tough and will get tougher.</p>
<p>Again, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!</p>
<p>Review the remaining rules of surviving MARTIAL LAW with Rule #2 ALWAYS in mind. Because some rat on two legs you say the wrong thing to WILL snitch to the &#8220;authorities&#8221; in exchange for favors or even brownie points… and then you get to find out how ironclad Rule #1 is.</p>
<p>KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT!!</p>
<p>Rule #3</p>
<p>ANY AUTHORITY FIGURE IS THE ENEMY! Unless you are waging a war of liberation-gathering intelligence or spreading disinformation or infiltrating-have no relation with nor voluntary contact with any soldier, police officer, bureaucrat, or anyone in authority in private life cooperating with MARTIAL LAW. Review Rule #1: they&#8217;re all liars, con artists, hustlers, thieves, murderers. Same goes to any fellow travellers in big business; they and government have been in the same bed for a century.</p>
<p>Stay away from them as much as possible. Tell them lies. Don&#8217;t do any business with them. Unless they&#8217;re sticking a gun in your face don&#8217;t even acknowledge that they exist.</p>
<p>Shun them, their family and any sycophants that fawn over them for a few favors&#8230;</p>
<p>Rule #4</p>
<p>YOUR PERSONAL SURVIVAL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OBEYING ANY DICTATE! If you&#8217;re prohibited from having an item that helps you survive, get the item, review Rule #2 AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re prohibited from having extra food, medicine, guns (no brainer) then you will CACHE your prohibited items in a place where it won&#8217;t easily be found. Foods, after properly sealed for storage, and medicines can be placed in hollow spaces in walls, floorboards, stairs, behind false walls in closets, or even in a hidden underground pantry dug underneath your foundation or basement.</p>
<p>Firearms are metallic; they can be detected by metal detectors unless you store them deep underground or in a place they won&#8217;t think of looking right away… like sealed in wider metallic tubes, or away from your property. And if you by chance acquire or keep firearms knowing HOW TO USE THEM(sight alignment, trigger squeeze) and RELOADING AMMUNITION will be mandatory.</p>
<p>(IF YOU&#8217;VE NEVER USED A GUN BEFORE)</p>
<p>To use a gun, first find the PROPER AMMUNITION FOR IT. After loading, pointed end forward, the ammo into the magazine, cylinder, or chamber load the weapon. On semiautomatic pistols if the slide-that moving part on top-is locked back there&#8217;s a small lever on the left side of the gun. Push on it and it will close. Otherwise you&#8217;ll have to pull the slide back yourself.</p>
<p>Pistols are concealable, rifles and shotguns are for starting a fight. Shotguns you load from a port on the underside, behind the fore stock or it breaks open. Rifles come in several flavors; single shot, pump, bolt action, automatic, and feed from the chamber, a internal magazine or has a detaching magazine. The rifle you want first and foremost is a automatic rifle in a military common caliber. That coupled with proper marksmanship transforms you from a victim to a freedom fighter.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the most important part: see what you&#8217;re aiming at… put your FRONT SIGHT where you want the bullet to go… then WHILE YOUR FRONT SIGHT&#8217;S ON TARGET align your REAR SIGHT with your FRONT SIGHT. …When your FRONT SIGHT and REAR SIGHT aligned like this more or less:<br />
O target<br />
( ( I ))<br />
IIIIII I GUN WITH FRONT AND REAR SIGHTS ALIGNED</p>
<p>…when you&#8217;re aligned and aimed AT THE SAME TIME DO A SMOOTH, QUICK PRESS ON YOUR TRIGGER. The gun will go BOOM! and will push back in RECOIL. Don&#8217;t be afraid; think of it like setting off a firework, only you&#8217;re also sending a lead bullet at someone. If you did all the steps right you&#8217;ll hit.</p>
<p>Dry firing a empty gun at a target is one way to practice. Even better is getting a air gun, paint some targets on a sheet of paper and going at it until you can aim and land every round in the black as fast as possible.)</p>
<p>Rule #5</p>
<p>While keeping the above rules in mind ALWAYS HELP OUT THOSE WHO ARE RESISTING! They, unlike you, have decided that there&#8217;s nothing to lose and therefore deserve anyone&#8217;s help who&#8217;s willing to risk their lives. You think MARTIAL LAW is going away on it&#8217;s own? Those bastards in black will have a sudden change of heart and do something worthwhile for a change and not oppress you? I like to dream too…</p>
<p>The VERY LEAST: have extra food, water for resistance fighters, basic medical supplies, ammo caches(hint, these should be concealed).</p>
<p>A secret room either built from some closet space or under the home can house a couple of fighting Patriots. Those who fight will need to keep hidden, yet able to communicate with fellow fighters. You can be a intermediary.</p>
<p>You have skills, like welding, machine tools, chemistry? You can take that secret room and make weapons, ammo, other things the resistance needs.</p>
<p>You have inside information? Share it. You have videography experience, tools? Make how-to videos on resisting the theft of your freedoms. You have medical training? Set up a underground hospital.</p>
<p>Not all Patriots can or should pick up a rifle and blow a traitor&#8217;s head off. Riflemen need ammo, food, a place to rest, medical assistance, repairs for their weapons, intel on their next target. Most of all they and you need each other because a man alone doesn&#8217;t stand a chance. Only by uniting in common cause with all one has to offer can the traitors be defeated, and Freedom restored to the land.</p>
<p>…If you&#8217;re not at least giving aid to those helping to liberate you put this article down, go back to being a victim of government oppression; maybe you can get by being a pathetic lackey they&#8217;ll thieve from and occasionally beat or take sex from.</p>
<p>Rule #6</p>
<p>With the utmost care develop a SURVIVAL NETWORK. This is a group of people with skills and/or resources who can help each other in areas they would be lacking on their own. It could be anything from extra food, medicine, repair parts, fuel, transportation-whatever.</p>
<p>In any given neighborhood you can have machinists(weapon makers), medical personel, drivers(good knowledge of local roads), gardeners(agriculture knowledgebase).</p>
<p>Petty bureaucrats secretly opposing martial law are prime candidates to spy, steal, or commit sabotage.</p>
<p>Computer technicians can hack government systems and create surveillance systems and guidence packages for missiles.</p>
<p>Construction workers can build secret rooms to hide anything from a arms cache to a secret factory. People in the media can smuggle cameras and work with computer techs to: bug enemy meetings, produce freedom media that documents sucessful means of resisting and present government atrocities for the reasons why.</p>
<p>Salesmen can &#8220;borrow&#8221; merchandise from their stores for use-anything and everything is useful.</p>
<p>Especially useful will be disgruntled cops and military who can provide everything from intel on raids to weapons to training.</p>
<p>Keep the numbers of your group &#8220;small&#8221;: smaller cells are more difficult to penetrate by enemy agents and professional snitches. Keeping that in mind, a means of communication independent from wiretapped phones and audible eavesdropping devices must be developed amongst you.</p>
<p>Runners can be a athlete or a kid on a bike. They can carry small packages, or notes with a handy breakable vial of flammable liquid if discovered. With a sealed packet of potassium chlorate taped to it the gasoline(preferable) will automatically ignite; otherwise you&#8217;ll have to actually light that incriminating evidence.</p>
<p>A mail drop can be a home, a hollowed out tree trunk, a hole in the ground, a open fence pole-anything. Just be sure it&#8217;s discreetly out of sight of surveillance.</p>
<p>If God&#8217;s really liking you, one of your group will be a SMART SURVIVALIST. This will be a exceedingly rare breed, because most in this group were smart enough to begin preparing for the collapse to begin with. They WEREN&#8217;T smart enough to avoid detection of their awareness and distrust of government. They signed form 4477 registration forms for their firearms, used credit cards and checks for their weapon and ammunition purchases, registered for weapons permits, or registered themselves with gun clubs and shooting organizations. These people more than likely got swept up in pre-dawn raids or got blasted resisting.</p>
<p>No the SMART SURVIVALIST prepared-and kept his mouth shut about those preps. He or she never signed federal permit forms for purchases or carry license. He or she presented a &#8220;average American&#8221; profile or totally disappeared. Get or find one in your group and you&#8217;ll have a literal treasury of knowhow and resources to survive… maybe even start taking back a little?</p>
<p>Rule #7</p>
<p>AVOID GOVERNMENT MONITORING AND CONTROL! Know where the cameras are and how to avoid them. Know who patrols where, and what routine they follow so as to avoid contact. Know your snitches and always feed them b.s. if you can&#8217;t avoid them.</p>
<p>Find ways around checkpoints. Side streets, forest paths, neighbor&#8217;s yard, railroad tracks, tunnels; whatever go arounds to getting from point a to point b without a pack of government troops searching you, checking your ID. I can&#8217;t and won&#8217;t go into detail; how you find your ways is up to you.</p>
<p>Rule #8</p>
<p>AVOID A GOVERNMENT ROUNDUP. It could be from a disaster, a attack, or even because they&#8217;ve decided to end the pretense and show you what they really think of you and your &#8220;rights&#8221;. You&#8217;ll just wind up in a detention camp where your freedom of movement and resources will be strictly controlled. That means having a place to go away from your area, a means to get there, and supplies.</p>
<p>Very difficult to do in a martial law situation, with shortages and rationing at gunpoint. Remember the victims of Hurricane Katrina; how they were set up to be stranded in New Orleans by the government? How they were constantly baited with false hope of rescue for a week after the catastrophe? How they eventually were herded by FEMA into concentration camps?</p>
<p>You disregard Rule #1, you&#8217;ll find out.</p>
<p>Get a safe house of your own-a friend or a abandoned home, a empty storefront or even a patch of woods. When the troops start going street to street, house to house have escape routes by lesser used streets, trails, whatever. You may have to go on foot, so have a light backpack with a few days worth of nonperishable food, portable water purifier, a first aid kit, a light sleeping bag-and your weapon. A mountain bike may be a more optimal and versatile escape mode than your road-dependent car. Better to be on the run, desperate-and have your freedom-than be imprisoned in a FEMA slave camp.</p>
<p>Rule #9</p>
<p>Find a way you can successfully resist. Probably not with guns or bombs unless you have the training, but there&#8217;s plenty of ways you can monkeywrench the basic functioning of the state during MARTIAL LAW.</p>
<p>If you work for the state you have plenty of opportunities to mess things up, but even private firms are subcontracted by the government. You know who&#8217;s just earning a paycheck, who&#8217;s backing this war against the people, and who&#8217;s getting off on &#8220;just following orders&#8221;. If you can take action, great; concentrate most of your planning on getting away with the job. Otherwise, get contacts with Patriots and be the most reliable source of intelligence you can be.</p>
<p>Every bit of drag on the government beast helps-perhaps in botching that paperwork, breaking that surveillance camera in disguise, or misdirecting that bureaucrat or soldier cop that act might be the beginning of a butterfly effect of bringing down the state of MARTIAL LAW and restoring Freedom to our nation. Always keep that in mind. You must find your own way, but find it you must if you want what was stolen from you back.</p>
<p>SECTION 2: HOW DO YOU TAKE A NATION BACK THAT&#8217;S UNDER MARTIAL LAW?</p>
<p>To be honest it&#8217;s probably the most difficult challenge anyone can face. Because you&#8217;re starting a conflict from scratch inside the belly of the beast. You can&#8217;t fight for territory when you&#8217;ve only got a few guns against divisions of enemy troops equipped with automatic weapons, armor, air support, the pitiful acquiescence of a &#8220;people&#8221; who long ago gave up Liberty for the trap of existence of a childlike, cushy debt slavery.</p>
<p>So the smart coup leaders that prosecute a martial law takeover will do it against a population that&#8217;s already been pacified in one way or another. Now with the gilding stripped off their chains they&#8217;re as frightened hostages willing to go along with ANYTHING massah state wants so long as they have some semblance of their former &#8220;lives&#8221;. Aside from sickened, disgruntled vets, the American People; untrained in the military arts or even basic survival have been pacified-or the coup would never have taken place.</p>
<p>It is simply fear of loss after being so coddled, so divorced as a culture from personal responsibility -although enough exposure to fear and the human psyche has a way of becoming psychologically inured to it… which can lead to anger, and then revenge.</p>
<p>No: better way to pacify is to bring it on in a overwhelming torrent onto a population unprepared for it, unprepared for hardships. Take away their culture, their moral cores, their connections to God. Ply them with trinkets and baubles and other junk-get them to find solace in material things, in distractions like spectator sports, television. &#8220;Our&#8221; junk culture.</p>
<p>Keep them hypnotized by a junk culture while their means of sustenance-their jobs-are shipped overseas piecemeal, so they don&#8217;t wake up.</p>
<p>Keep them hypnotized by a junk culture while their rights are legislated into impotence, irrelevance to the state&#8217;s enforcers.</p>
<p>Keep them hypnotized by a junk culture, as even the know how of being able to survive outside the system; basics like growing food, repairing stuff, marksmanship is slowly stifled.</p>
<p>And all the time tell them they&#8217;re free and prosperous. Eventually you&#8217;ll have a people much like modern America&#8217;s dumbed down materialistic debt slave. Such a people as ours, fed lies about our evil corrupt system as you find on TV are ready for a fall now as I write this. All that&#8217;s needed is a plausable pretext, a cover story for the sheeple to accept the loss of their freedom in exchange for a impression of security in a land where the plenty of food and goods has been taken away.</p>
<p>Now some will see through the b.s.; but Humans can be stubbornly stupid when it comes to misdirected hope. These slaves, in every sense of the word, will actually defend the system that has enslaved them. Such is the enemy&#8217;s genius at their social engineering. All those slavishly obeying the state in a martial law enviroment for some forlorn hope that their lives will somehow go back to the false paradise of the late 20th century will in effect be the enemy themselves.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t be alone. The enemy&#8217;s genius is formidable, but not perfect. Quite frankly they&#8217;re overconfident-and even if they weren&#8217;t they&#8217;re not God. They can&#8217;t see all and will make fatal mistakes. The question will be, will you be man enough to exploit those mistakes to bring their downfall and save the Human Race?</p>
<p>How to beat the state when it has all the cards; can&#8217;t take on an army with a pistol… but you can take on one of it&#8217;s soldiers when you sneak up on him when they&#8217;re not looking for it. If you&#8217;re skilled with a rifle you can kill at distance and sneak off… if you have a supressor on your weapon you can do a whole lot of killing and not be detected. If you know chemistry, you can come up with all sorts of nasty stuff that can do damage to the enemy&#8217;s expensive stuff.</p>
<p>If you have friends or fellow travellers you can do a lot more damage, even recruit if you have a video camera, editing system, and dvd duplicators(get someone skilled in video production) to advertise your victories and how others can duplicate your efforts, plus why they should fight in the first place.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re successful your area of operations will be overflowing with Patriots looking to bag as many jack booted thugs, bureaucrats and other traitors as they can get at. The excess Patriots can then spread out to other areas of our country, replicating as best they can what you&#8217;ve done.</p>
<p>With whole regions of the country infiltrated and secured secret industry can develop. Light weapons can be constructed at first, but eventually heavy weapons will be designed and made, and distributed. Ammunition, food, fuel, medicine-all can be manufactured on or made with basic machine tools and chemistry.</p>
<p>The time will come… if the enemy still clings to their forlorn hope of defeating the American People with the brainless thugs and sheeple that lick their boots… the time will come that OPEN WARFARE can begin and territory openly liberated.</p>
<p>After that… it&#8217;ll probably devolve into a stalemate. The enemy isolated in their city/prison states unable to retake the surrounding countryside, but the Patriots not having enough strength to retake the cities. Or perhaps enough time because either the enemy develops some funky new superweapon, or their continued control of military assets overseas causes a outside power to intervene… on whose side… who knows?</p>
<p>BUT LET&#8217;S NOT LET THIS SCENARIO PLAY OUT!</p>
<p>Because a MARTIAL LAW will lead to CIVIL WAR… and national destruction… what I just described to you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s NOT have a civil war, and spend the next century rebuilding. Much better to organize right now, as I write in October, 2005! We still have a political process we can use if we learn how to use it effectively. We can together find a small town and take it over-like the Libertarian&#8217;s Free State Projects, only focused onto one town. Take that over, free it, and spread out from there. We as Americans need a standing example of what a Free State is; since we don&#8217;t have the numbers to take over a state, we have to take over a town… so we can get the numbers to take over a state.</p>
<p>Even some in the traitorous elite don&#8217;t want to see MARTIAL LAW because they recognize the exquisite control and enslavement the current American political system has over Americans, and want to keep their power. They can be used, then abused.</p>
<p>Individually, if you have guns, bury spares of your fighting arms, or sell them privately to new Patriot recruits. This will get easier as deteriorating conditions bring the reality of our situation home, and the government&#8217;s conduct in New Orleans make personal preparation a priority.</p>
<p>Buy lots of ammo, food, medicine, reloading supplies. Get these at gun shows for CASH ONLY. Go to gun shows while they&#8217;re still legal!</p>
<p>Find books on basic manufacturing processes-that&#8217;s vital!</p>
<p>If you have EVER joined a gun group, bought guns and ammo with credit cards, checks, and/or signed registration forms and permits HIDE AND/OR SELL YOUR EXCESS GUNS TO MOTIVATED PATRIOTS! You WILL be searched first on &#8220;The Day&#8221;, and if so much as a empty shell casing&#8217;s found you can count on being starved, beaten and raped to death in a internment camp. Or maybe they&#8217;ll take you anyway for being on record.</p>
<p>Start driving around: look for abandoned homes, businesses, and roads or trails that&#8217;ll get you to them. Caves, forest haunts, old barns, the nastiest trailer in that tired old trailer park.</p>
<p>When you recruit, don&#8217;t let them put their names on any forms that could implicate them in the eyes of the government. Keep their profile low-Patriots will need infiltrators, safe houses, spies… can&#8217;t do that if you&#8217;re still running around openly displaying a &#8220;I&#8217;m the NRA&#8221; sticker or a Gadsen Flag. Sorry.</p>
<p>Take your Recruits and:</p>
<p>*Toughen them up. Camping, survival courses, hand to hand combat courses. Even getting them to let their TV gather dust to do… anything will be of benefit. Demonstrations, projects, meetings, find places to hole up like anything without people around…</p>
<p>*Shooting, and lots of it! Paintball to teach tactics. A range of some sort for battle rifle practice. Airguns and required turning in of targets for their own practice-the airsoft guns are coming along as viable training tools and as soon as they perfect a paintball that&#8217;ll cycle through them you should splurge a couple hundred bucks and get some guns and paintballs.</p>
<p>*Group buy ammo, parts, food, knowledge, a legal fiction to acquire property not under your own name, nor any connection to you. Have your stashes in several small units throughout the area you figure you&#8217;re going to operate. The more the better, and, no one person should have knowledge of where all the caches are at. A cache should have ammo for the standard weapon/caliber your group should standardize on. I recommend a military pattern rifle in 7.62NATO, along with spare parts because they&#8217;ll break down with all the shooting and abuse you&#8217;re gonna heap on them. Enough ammo to refill all your carry mags for a mission. Also, nonperishable food. Should have lots of calories, carbs, protein. Medical supplies.</p>
<p>…No you&#8217;re not going to get a lot of recruits. The enemy&#8217;s cultural weapons are pretty damn powerful, and their mind control of Americans is exquisite-but not foolproof! On occasion a event will occur that will defy their spin control and b.s.-like the live coverage of Hurricane Katrina and their criminal abandonment of the Black Community to die in that open sewer so they&#8217;ll abandon the city to foreclosers wanting a &#8220;Las Vegas on the Gulf&#8221;. Point out the criminal abandonment of the government of their People. A lot of eyes were opened by that hurricane, and not all of them are going to shut again by the system&#8217;s lies. Take your opportunities as they come.</p>
<p>I have a plan of peaceful political action that can be used, so here&#8217;s a excerpt of my essay, &#8220;Message to Mr. and Mrs. America&#8221; at my blog freedomguide.blogspot.com:</p>
<p>Taking back the government-peacefully!</p>
<p>This is the preferable manner of us as groups reclaiming our Freedom. To be effective, one must have a understanding of America&#8217;s political system as it relates to our cause. We have a president, a vice-president and their agents, a congress, a federal judicial system, and the duplication of this political layout among the states. Beyond that you have the many thousands of county and local governments. So what will work?</p>
<p>Take over the presidency?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s long been proven that unless you have the blessings of the two official parties of this nation, you cannot seriously run for president. The closest independent candidate was Ross Perot back in 1992, and even being a billionaire didn&#8217;t shield him from getting shredded by the media.</p>
<p>So, assuming the voting machines are honest(not)and the media&#8217;s fair(not) you need the machine of a major party backing you(won&#8217;t happen).</p>
<p>And the president can only do so much; America&#8217;s system of government is extremely compartmentalized, so that unless you have a common ideology and party mechanism guiding and controlling the various components, it&#8217;s impossible for one man to dictate policy. So a independent party president, one lone person against the rest of the hydra headed federal monstrosity is not only impossible, it&#8217;s retarded even planning such a thing.</p>
<p>Congress?</p>
<p>Congress is made up of 540 members-100 senators and the rest in the house of representatives. All are elected in staggared election cycles so it would take approximately a decade of successful nationwide campaigning to create a majority party. Yes, congress writes the laws and taking it back is essential in our struggle, but even factoring out the two official parties and their political machines the structure of this body demands a massive political machine of our own.</p>
<p>Massive organizations that have a heirarchial structure have been penetrated, subverted and corrupted by our enemies since the beginning of time. It&#8217;s a process that to them is a natural as breathing. Then there&#8217;s all the fundraising that will be needed and we&#8217;re not rich-the only ones with money in America are the same pack of vampires who&#8217;ve been sucking us dry. So a singular, national organization will not be sucessful.</p>
<p>Independent and rogue candidates however do have some success. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Tom Tancredo of Colorado, Ron Paul of Texas, and at one time James Trafficant of Ohio sadly represent the successes. Most candidates are attorneys who&#8217;ve long ago prostituted themselves. They whore themselves to the political machine that will take them where they want to go. All they want is power and in exchange have legislated the monstrosity American government has become. The democrats and republicans, their bosses for all practical purposes appoint these elitists their congressional seats and they&#8217;re prepared to spend whatever cash it takes to take or retain that seat. Vote fraud of course is part of their arsenal.</p>
<p>There are no rich left in these times who would willingly sacrifice their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor-they&#8217;re either sold out or scared. So any candidates for congress will have to be raised and funded by us. That means we have to do it in a grass roots manner. We have to build not one political machine, but a army of political machines that are independent of one another, yet cooperative.</p>
<p>Many small parties, one common agenda</p>
<p>This form of political resistance lends itself naturally to our groups. It will go like this:</p>
<p>The group helps other groups form. They in turn during the next local election cycle turn out and get the candidates they choose elected in town and county governments. Much of the oppressive laws plaguing us are drafted and enforced locally. Taking over local governments will not only give the freedom groups relief from local law enforcement harassment, it will give us the tools to revoke and repeal such things as:</p>
<p>Property taxes that allow the government to sieze that home you&#8217;re working a lifetime to pay for if you miss one &#8220;rent&#8221; installment. Those in power whine that property taxes are for the schools and the children-isn&#8217;t that what their gambling rackets known as the lotto are for? And they&#8217;re willing to make you and yours homeless for the children… such evil makes me just want to shoot them. But let&#8217;s try not to go there yet.</p>
<p>All those damned zoning restrictions, regulations, speed trap traffic laws designed to churn up &#8220;tax&#8221; revenue, laws criminalizing all sorts of things and actions that bother nobody. Think of any local ordinance that seems to have been drafted by a neurotic control freak… the list would be endless really!</p>
<p>Un-Constitutional, pro criminal gun control legislation. A big part of their program&#8217;s disarming us so that we&#8217;re helpless and have to rely on them exclusively for protection, establishing dependence. Not that the cops are legally obligated to your personal protection of course.</p>
<p>Anything that pledges cooperation with state and federal authorities, at least until we take our nation back!</p>
<p>Another book recommendation: HOW TO WIN A LOCAL ELECTION. Should be in your local bookstore.</p>
<p>When we take back a local government and bring that jurisdiction back into line with the classic tenants of American government, it will be a beacon of light, an example of successful peaceful resistance. It will immediately inspire and launch similar efforts in neighboring communities. Each composed of small, decentralized groups working together on the big problem, so that one day they can afford to bicker on the small stuff-that the Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Christian Patriots and Conservatives currently do. So together, with control of enough cities and townships, the combined efforts of those groups can take over counties. With control of enough counties, an entire state can be taken over by our groups.</p>
<p>Why take that next step? The list of things we can do when we take back our local governments is vast, but then there would be the call to centralize governmental control with state and federal authorities. So when this begins we must be as aggressive as possible-being examples to others, advising, and most importantly WE MUST NOT FIGHT AMONGST OURSELVES OVER STUFF WE CAN DEBATE AFTER WE RETAKE OUR LAND! Backbiting will be exploited by our enemies, it will be our biggest downfall.</p>
<p>And if we can take the nation back…</p>
<p>There are many things we must do immediately, as soon as we can take back control of America&#8217;s destiny.</p>
<p>(1)Secure our borders from any further infiltration. Whatever that takes, whatever manpower&#8217;s available, we must find a way to seal up thousands of miles of hinterland border, and many thousands of miles more of coastline. This will take bringing our troops and ships home, and in effect end America&#8217;s era of being used as a tool of global empire. It will be good, as being number one just makes you the one everyone else wants to take out.</p>
<p>At the same time, a heightened state of alert must be maintained if another power were to take advantage of our transistional phase and attempt some economic or military adventure against our interests. America will be painfully contracting from it&#8217;s global economic empire as we attempt to revive a self-sufficient free republic and the last thing we&#8217;ll need is for Muslims seeking revenge against the Empire, or China rolling the dice on a military adventure against us.</p>
<p>(2)Impose a flexible series of tariffs so that no matter where on Earth a imported good is made, it&#8217;s cost after going through customs is just a few percent more than one made in America-with all the taxes still imposed. This must be implemented by law for I&#8217;d calculate twenty years; because this is the minimum time required to rebuild America&#8217;s manufacturing economy. The rest of the world&#8217;s just going to have to learn to live economically without the American consumer, and the American consumer is going to have to learn basic economics. It will be a horrifically shocking adjustment, and lead to a economic collapse-of the megacorporations. It&#8217;s the bitterest medicine, but America and Americans have become almost terminally sick with the current system imposed upon us and those that don&#8217;t immediately take steps to save themselves will need some hard lessons quick to bring them back to reality.</p>
<p>AND WHAT&#8217;S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO?</p>
<p>Most important thing you can do? Pray. I&#8217;m serious. Don&#8217;t do it in some gay mega-church and tithe to some blowdried huckster-do it like Jesus taught. Find a quiet place, quiet your mind, and open your heart. God WILL talk to you, or at least convey some feeling. You can&#8217;t listen because you&#8217;re out of practice listening so, practice. Eventually God will talk to you, and it&#8217;s in your best interest to listen because God does love you!</p>
<p>He isn&#8217;t looking to burn you for eternity for your petty imperfections. He&#8217;s looking to liberate His People-all of us. Can&#8217;t liberate a people if they&#8217;re dead from some &#8220;bible prophecy&#8221; going on as scripted: wouldn&#8217;t the events of Revelation carried out as written be a victory for the devil… wanting to possess and destroy? Humanity&#8217;s all but destroyed in the end of that book. Why not fight to derail that outcome?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>APRIL/MAY 2007, Reprinted from FOUR CORNERS MAGAZINE<br />
People Who Make a Difference: Mary-Margareht Rose: Sedona Icon<br />
by Sakina Blue-Star</p>
<p>Rev. Mary-Margareht Rose is the Founder and President of the Earth Mother Father Healing and Meditation Center.  For nine years, it was located in West Sedona, and was a place of sanctuary for people from all over this country and beyond. Her compassion, wisdom,and gifts of healing and spiritual insight drew many seekers to her door; she is truly a Light Being!  She has long been a beloved presence in Sedona. The Center was an oasis of peace and serenity for those in need of <span id="more-61"></span>guidance or healing energy, and she made everyone feel welcome.</p>
<p>In late 2004, the property she had leased for almost a decade was sold, and she then conducted her Sunday Gatherings, classes and holiday feasts for two years in Cottonwood; but now, happily, she is back in Sedona. Rev. Rose teaches an Intuitive Energetic Healing class on Wednesday nights at 7pm, and is continuing to hold her Sunday Gathering with meditations, group healing, and “messages from your angels”. It is followed by a pot-luck, and then the people who want to, will dance.  See the Gatherings page for location. “I could see and hear angels since I was a young child,” said Rev. Rose.  “Family members doubted me, but my mom got the idea of asking me to show her where the angels were.  Then she could feel the warmth of their energy.”</p>
<p>At 19, Mary-Margareht was a ballet dancer, when she was struck with a crippling illness.  Doctors told her that she might never walk again. But through fierce determination and three years of relentless physical therapy,she regained the ability to walk, and even dance, again. I moved to Sedona in August of 1992.  I had already been appearing monthly at the Crystal Sanctuary of Rev. Gwen Richland,” said Rev. Rose.“She gave me very helpful assistance when I took over her place and established the Earth Mother Father Foundation there in February of 1997.”</p>
<p>Mary-Margareht    Rose listens carefully to her inner guidance, ‘that still, small voice within’ of which the Bible speaks. She sometimes feels the energy of Jesus in the healing room, and has had some remarkable experiences with healing sessions, and grateful clients. In the early years of her Center, Rev.Rose was constantly busy doing sessions there, being much in demand. She also traveled extensively, doing Playshops, giving readings, being a healing facilitator, and headlining Psychic Fairs. Mary-Margareht loves music, and loves to dance.  Her husband was a musician, and used to play in lounges in Los Angeles. Her daughter had a friend who loved to come over to their house to hang around the musicians and show people. Her name was Demi Moore, and she wanted to be an actress.</p>
<p>Rose is also an author, having written the book The Courage to Be Who I Am. Her father could be brutal when he was in an alcoholic rage, but her step-father was a very kind man, and her mother was wise indeed. When her adored grandmother died, the young Margaret saw her standing at the foot of the bed.  “Don’t cry,” the girl said to the rest of the family.  “Gramma’s still here.  She looks very young, and she said ‘Look!  I can stand straight! I don’t hurt anymore!’”</p>
<p>Like Allison DuBois in the popular TV show Medium, Rev. Rose can see those who are on the other side of the veil. Hopefully, Mary-Margareht will have her own spiritual healing center again. In the meantime, this remarkable, big- hearted, loving woman extends a warm welcome to visitors and residents of this wondrous place to join the Gathering on Sundays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Green homes? Organic food? Nature is good? Time to give the ol&#8217; tie-dyers some respect.<br />
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist<br />
Wednesday, May 2, 2007<br />
 <br />
Go ahead, name your movement. Name something good and positive and pro-environment and eco-friendly that&#8217;s happening right now in the newly &#8220;greening&#8221; America and don&#8217;t say more guns in Texas or fewer reproductive choices for women or endless vile unwinnable BushCo wars in the Middle East lasting until roughly 2075 because that would defeat the whole point of this perky little column and destroy its naive tone of happy rose-colored sardonic optimism. OK? <span id="more-58"></span><br />
I&#8217;m talking about, say, energy-efficient light bulbs. I&#8217;m looking at organic foods going mainstream. I mean chemical-free cleaning products widely available at Target and I&#8217;m talking saving the whales and protecting the dolphins and I mean yoga studios flourishing in every small town, giant boxes of organic cereal at Costco and non-phthalates dildos at Good Vibes and the Toyota Prius becoming the nation&#8217;s oddest status symbol. You know, good things.<br />
Look around: we have entire industries devoted to recycled paper, a new generation of cheap solar-power technology and an Oscar for &#8220;An Inconvenient Truth&#8221; and even the soulless corporate monsters over at famously heartless joints like Wal-Mart are now claiming that they really, really care about saving the environment because, well, &#8220;it&#8217;s the right thing to do&#8221; (read: It&#8217;s purely economic and all about their bottom line because if they don&#8217;t start caring they&#8217;ll soon be totally screwed on manufacturing and shipping costs at/from all their brutal Chinese sweatshops).<br />
There is but one conclusion you can draw from the astonishing (albeit fitful, bittersweet) pro-environment sea change now happening in the culture and (reluctantly, nervously) in the halls of power in D.C., one thing we must all acknowledge in our wary, jaded, globally warmed universe: The hippies had it right all along. Oh yes they did.<br />
You know it&#8217;s true. All this hot enthusiasm for healing the planet and eating whole foods and avoiding chemicals and working with nature and developing the self? Came from the hippies. Alternative health? Hippies. Green cotton? Hippies. Reclaimed wood? Recycling? Humane treatment of animals? Medical pot? Alternative energy? Natural childbirth? Non-GMO seeds? It came from the granola types (who, of course, absorbed much of it from ancient cultures), from the alternative worldviews, from the underground and the sidelines and from far off the goddamn grid and it&#8217;s about time the media, the politicians, the culture as a whole sent out a big, wet, hemp-covered apology.<br />
Here&#8217;s a suggestion, from one of my more astute ex-hippie readers: Instead of issuing carbon credits so industrial polluters can clear their collective corporate conscience, maybe, to help offset all the savage damage they&#8217;ve done to the soul of the planet all these years, these commercial cretins should instead buy some karma credits from the former hippies themselves. You know, from those who&#8217;ve been working for the health of the planet, quite thanklessly, for the past 50 years and who have, as a result, built up quite a storehouse of good karma. You think?<br />
Of course, you can easily argue that much of the &#8220;authentic&#8221; hippie ethos &#8212; the anti-corporate ideology, the sexual liberation, the anarchy, the push for civil rights, the experimentation &#8212; has been totally leeched out of all these new movements, that corporations have forcibly co-opted and diluted every single technology and humble pro-environment idea and Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s ice cream cone and Odwalla smoothie to make them both palatable and profitable. But does this somehow make the organic oils in that body lotion any more harmful? Verily, it does not.<br />
You might also just as easily claim that much of the nation&#8217;s reluctant turn toward environmental health has little to do with the hippies per se, that it&#8217;s taking the threat of global meltdown combined with the notion of really, really expensive ski tickets to slap the nation&#8217;s incredibly obese ass into gear and force consumers to begin to wake up to the savage gluttony and wastefulness of American culture as everyone starts wondering, oh my God, what&#8217;s going to happen to swimming pools and NASCAR and free shipping from Amazon? Of course, without the &#8217;60s groundwork, without all the radical ideas and seeds of change planted nearly five decades ago, what we&#8217;d be turning to in our time of need would be a great deal more hopeless indeed.<br />
But if you&#8217;re really bitter and shortsighted, you could say the entire hippie movement overall was just incredibly overrated, gets far too much cultural credit for far too little actual impact, was pretty much a giant excuse to slack off and enjoy dirty lazy responsibility-free sex romps and do a ton of drugs and avoid Vietnam and not bathe for a month and name your child Sunflower or Shiva Moon or Chakra Lennon Sapphire Bumblebee. This is what&#8217;s called the reactionary simpleton&#8217;s view. It blithely ignores history, perspective, the evolution of culture as a whole. You know, just like America.<br />
But, you know, whatever. The proofs are easy enough to trace. The core values and environmental groundwork laid by the &#8217;60s counterculture are still so intact and potent even the stiffest neocon Republican has to acknowledge their extant power. It&#8217;s all right there: Treehugger.com is the new &#8217;60s underground hippy zine. Ecstasy is the new LSD. Visible tattoos are the new longhairs. And bands as diverse as Pearl Jam to Bright Eyes to NIN to the Dixie Chicks are writing savage anti-Bush, anti-war songs for a new, ultra-jaded generation.<br />
And oh yes, speaking of good ol&#8217; MDMA (Ecstasy), even drug culture is getting some new respect. Staid old Time mag just ran a rather snide little story about the new studies being conducted by Harvard and the National Institute of Mental Health into the astonishing psychospiritual benefits of goodly entheogens such as LSD, psilocybin and MDMA. Unfortunately, the piece basically backhands Timothy Leary and the entire &#8220;excessive,&#8221; &#8220;naive&#8221; drug culture of yore in favor of much more &#8220;sane&#8221; and &#8220;careful&#8221; scientific analysis happening now, as if the only valid methods for attaining knowledge and an understanding of spirit were through control groups and clinical, mysticism-free examination. Please.<br />
Still, the fact that serious scientific research into entheogens is being conducted even in the face of the most anti-science, pro-pharmaceutical, ultra-conservative presidential regime in recent history is proof enough that all the hoary old hippie mantras about expanding the mind and touching God through drugs were onto something after all (yes, duh). Tim Leary is probably smiling wildly right now &#8212; though that might be due to all the mushrooms he&#8217;s been sharing with Kerouac and Einstein and Mary Magdalene. Mmm, heaven.<br />
Of course, true hippie values mean you&#8217;re not really supposed to care about or attach to any of this, you don&#8217;t give a damn for the hollow ego stroke of being right all along, for slapping the culture upside the head and saying, See? Do you see? It was never about the long hair and the folk music and Woodstock and taking so much acid you see Jesus and Shiva and Buddha tongue kissing in a hammock on the Dog Star, nimrods.<br />
It was, always and forever, about connectedness. It was about how we are all in this together. It was about resisting the status quo and fighting tyrannical corporate/political power and it was about opening your consciousness and seeing new possibilities of how we can all live with something resembling actual respect for the planet, for alternative cultures, for each other. You know, all that typical hippie crap no one believes in anymore. Right?<br />

<p>Everything is Energy from a &#8216;Single&#8217; Conscious Source<br />
Known by many Names, including God of course.<br />
God Consciousness evolves through human being&#8217;s<br />
Beliefs, thoughts, words, actions and feelings!<br />
Our divine purpose is harmony, JOY, celebrations<br />
Without judging, criticizing or blaming God&#8217;s Emanations! <span id="more-54"></span><br />
What darkens segments of a Divine Plan?<br />
Absence of awareness in child, woman and man!<br />
Unlike creatures, our thoughts bring into form.<br />
Creating unconscious results became the norm.<br />
Focus &#8216;ONLY&#8217; on what you want; focus deliberately.<br />
Your willingness to shift sets everyone free!<br />
Imagine a circle of darkness around our Earth<br />
Holding our human family in lack and low self worth.<br />
Unloving choices brought darkness in many a form.<br />
Seeing through eyes of love is the way to transform!<br />
God&#8217;s Infinite Substance awaits you within.<br />
Re-membering oneness is where to begin,<br />
Understand and experience who you truly are:<br />
A unique particle of God Consciousness from afar!<br />
Beliefs hidden in our subconscious mind<br />
Project events and people divinely designed<br />
To unblock what we are ready to release<br />
Restoring joy, harmony and inner peace.<br />
Buried beliefs originate from unfamiliar places<br />
Some from our own forgotten faces<br />
Traumas experienced barricade our heart<br />
Seek guidance from within to heal your part!<br />
All you have to do is ask and receive<br />
Knowing Intelligent Substance will begin to weave<br />
Whatever you require to shine the Light<br />
Of awareness to awaken your eternal insight!<br />
World peace is other than the absence of war<br />
After eons of protests who can keep score?<br />
Individual peace of mind makes world peace possible<br />
Healing within makes this entirely plausible!<br />
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts<br />
Imagine the BLISS in uniting our human hearts<br />
In the doing comes the knowing what more can I say<br />
For those with ears to listen, WE ARE THE WAY</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Also well written, good for us to reflect on (no pun intended) Subject:</p>
<p>Some great food for thought. . . . . . . . .Part I &#8211; The Healing Power of Spiritual Light<br />
by Owen Waters</p>
<p>The Buddha spent many years trying to understand evil and suffering. He eventually concluded that the only real power in the universe is the Creator and that all else is illusion and therefore has little or no power in comparison.<span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p>He then went on to counsel people to adopt the middle way in order to avoid being sucked into illusion and bringing suffering upon themselves. He saw attachment to things of the world as the source of suffering, so he advised people to be a part of the world, yet not attached to it.</p>
<p>His words ring as true today as they did 2,500 years ago; and yet, times have changed. Today&#8217;s level of popular consciousness is far beyond that of the relatively dark times of 2,500 years ago. Today, detachment is still excellent advice, but we can do so much more now to consciously transform the old ways of<br />
darkness.</p>
<p>Physical darkness is the absence of physical light. The darkness itself is not real. It is merely an absence of something that is real. Likewise, spiritual darkness is the absence of spiritual light. Spiritual darkness itself is not real. It is merely an absence of something that is real.</p>
<p>Evil is an illusion because a shadow is not a real thing. Light is the real thing. A shadow is an illusion caused by the absence of light. The only reality, the only real power, is light itself.</p>
<p>Darkness can only exist in hiding from the light. When light shines in, it dissipates the darkness, making it obvious where the real power lies. Evil has no power in itself. It is only a lack of light. The real power is, and always has been, with the light and not with the shadow.</p>
<p>If you sense darkness, add light.</p>
<p>If you sense pain, add the light of healing energy.</p>
<p>If you sense hatred, add the light of love.</p>
<p>If you sense despair, add the light of hope and trust in the goodness of that from which we came and that to which we are returning.</p>
<p>The Nature of Spiritual Light</p>
<p>Spiritual light, in its fundamental form, is the omnipresent consciousness of the Creator. When intertwined with the unconditional love of the Creator and set into motion, it manifests as the universe.</p>
<p>Filters can block spiritual light. Such filters include fear, hatred, judgment, conflict and despair. That which engenders any of these is, therefore, promoting darkness. Darkness in consciousness affects mind, body and spirit.</p>
<p>When spiritual light is channeled through the human mind, it adds to the light of the world. Darkness can be healed through the addition of spiritual light.</p>
<p>While spiritual light is universally available in all frequencies, it has to flow through human consciousness in order to affect the human realm of consciousness. The effectiveness of sending healing spiritual light into an area that needs it is subject to the following two laws.</p>
<p>The Laws of Spiritual Light</p>
<p>1. The transformative ability of spiritual light is proportional to the frequency of the consciousness used to project it.</p>
<p>Explanation: Conditioning the intent with any agenda lowers the frequency. Projecting pure spiritual light for the unconditioned purpose of healing raises the frequency and the potential.</p>
<p>2. The amount of spiritual light projected is proportional to the degree of openness of the chakra through which it flows.</p>
<p>Explanation: Your thoughts flow from you to the outside world through the appropriate chakra. Spiritual practices develop the chakras, increasing your capability as a channel for spiritual light.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
Part II &#8211; More About Spiritual Light<br />
by Owen Waters</p>
<p>Last week&#8217;s article, The Healing Power of Spiritual Light, defined the natures of spiritual light and spiritual darkness.</p>
<p>It stated that spiritual darkness is the absence of spiritual light. Spiritual darkness itself is not real. It is merely an absence of something that is real. Evil is an illusion because a shadow is not a real thing. Light is the real thing. A shadow is really no more than an illusion caused by the absence of light.</p>
<p>This article raised two main questions. One was for clarification about which chakra light flows through in the second law of spiritual light. The other was to ask why people suffer at all.</p>
<p>The Laws of Spiritual Light, again, are:</p>
<p>1. The transformative ability of spiritual light is proportional to the frequency of the consciousness used to project it.</p>
<p>2. The amount of spiritual light projected is proportional to the degree of openness of the chakra through which it flows.</p>
<p>Spiritual light law number two refers to the chakra face which is in use at the time, and it depends upon the frequency of consciousness in use at the time. You will already be familiar with the nature of the twelve faces of the seven major chakras if you have read my book, &#8220;The Shift: the Revolution in Human<br />
Consciousness.&#8221; The chakra faces are gateways of thought. Thoughts come into you from, and go from you out to, the global mind atmosphere. Your frequency of consciousness, at any moment in time, determines which chakra face will be used as the active gateway.</p>
<p>Basically, your chakra system is like a receiving and transmitting radio station, only with frequencies of<br />
consciousness. What you do with the consciousness as it flows through you is your contribution to the global mind atmosphere.</p>
<p>Much of Western society today functions, on average, through the higher of the two solar plexus chakra faces. This is face number five, which is intellectual-active in function and expresses itself through physical achievement.</p>
<p>Heartfelt consciousness is face number six, the lower heart chakra face, which is holistic-receptive in nature and expresses through the consciousness of caring community. Heart-powered consciousness is the upper heart chakra face, which is holistic-active and expresses itself as a sense of responsible freedom.</p>
<p>Your frequency of consciousness can vary from minute to minute. If you are in a healthy state of unconditional love and acceptance, you are functioning in heart-centered consciousness. If you turn on today&#8217;s television news, however, you will soon be tempted to drop into polarity consciousness. While unconditional love is a function of unity and harmony, polarity consciousness, which was named after the opposite poles of a magnet, generates separation, tension and conflict.</p>
<p>Why People Suffer</p>
<p>We live in a world filled with many kinds of darkness, none of which would exist if people were already following their spiritual hearts instead of the illusion of separation.</p>
<p>This world of illusion is constructed so that people appear to be separate from each other. In reality, we are all one.</p>
<p>This world of illusion is constructed so that we reflect on our memories and plan for tomorrow. In reality, TIME is an illusion that is manufactured in order for dramas to play out. The only reality is now.</p>
<p>This world of illusion is constructed so that people are orphaned from their spiritual source. In reality, we are that source,  looking at that source from an infinite variety of perspectives.</p>
<p>The great treasure of life in a world of freewill is that we eventually learn to stand on our own two feet as self-empowered sparks of that from which we came.</p>
<p>Once upon a &#8216;time,&#8217; before time existed, we volunteered to leave our spiritual home and descend into the acute focus which is provided by these dense realms of physicality. After we have worked through the illusions of this theater of life we will become self-empowered spiritual sparks, tempered in the fire of acute experience.</p>
<p>There is a tradition that says that it is hard to complete the cycle of continual rebirth on planet Earth. That idea came into being simply because the time was not yet ripe for The Shift.</p>
<p>The Cosmic Scale of The Shift</p>
<p>Today, the rules are changing. As The Shift unfolds, people are finding themselves faced with imminent transformation into the heart-centered reality that we call the New Reality. The Shift is not confined to planet Earth, nor even to our solar system. It is a transformation which is cosmic in scale. The<br />
ethers are alive with an ever-increasing pull which beckons humanity back towards the spiritual home from which we came.</p>
<p>In the cosmic scale of time, today&#8217;s phase of the New Reality will pass by in the mere blink of an eye. The New Reality, today&#8217;s emerging heart-centered consciousness, is a link to that which lies beyond. Humanity will spend mere centuries in passing through the current New Reality and completing our adventure in physical existence.</p>
<p>As we master heart-centered consciousness, our physical bodies will become lighter in density. We will work through the joy of reconnection with our spiritual source, eventually leaving physicality behind. The only mystery remaining will be why humanity took so long to reach that place of active harmony and joyful expression.</p>
<p>Then, we will return to our spiritual home, very different than before, and very much wiser than when we originally left.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reprinted from The Light, vol. 14 #1</p>
<p>“Thank you God! Thank you Angels! Thank you God!” were the first words out of Mary-Margareht’s mouth as her car came to rest after careening off an embankment and rolling three times end to end.</p>
<p>It was Sunday, January 23rd (2005). Mary-Margareht was on her way to Santa Cruz, CA to meet with clients, a trip she has made regularly for twenty five years. Usually Matthew drives, but that trip he stayed home and she was driving herself. It was a beautiful day; she was singing happily when suddenly the front tire blew. The car spun uncontrollably and she found herself propelled into the Tyson Semi truck in front of her. Seconds before the first impact, Mary-Margareht felt huge angel wings around her and she knew she was not alone.<span id="more-50"></span></p>
<p>As Mary-Margareht’s little car hit the semi for a second time, she felt the angel wings tighten around her. The car bounded and headed straight for the underside of the semi. The driver swerved to the right as he shouted to his wife beside him, “I can’t live with myself if that little care goes under my truck.” The little care clipped the left corner of the semi bumper instead of going underneath. Bouncing off the bumper, the car was thrown off the highway, over the embankment. It rolled from front end to back three times.</p>
<p>When it finally stopped, Mary-Margareht realized she was conscious. She immediately did an energy scan on herself to assess her condition: no broken bones, no torn ligaments, only bruises. “You’re fine, honey,” she said to herself, “everything is going to be okay.”</p>
<p>She still felt the angel wings around her when a man appeared at her window saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’m an off-duty paramedic. I was driving right behind you and say you go off the embankment. There are six others behind me. we are coming back from a paramedic conference.” Within minutes Mary-Margareht had oxygen, a neck brace and glucose for shock. A team of paramedics from Needles was on their way. The off-duty paramedics stayed with her until the team from Needles arrived. Mary-Margareht was taken to the hospital where doctors observed her for the next four hours. They were dumbfounded by her lack of injuries and the fact that she never lost consciousness. Mary-Margareht just kept thanking God and her angels. She felt transformed.</p>
<p>Everyone who needed to be there was in place, including a highway patrolman who had been driving behind her when the accident occurred. Mary-Margareht overheard him say to the paramedics to exit the scene so as not to go past her car. “I don’t want her to see this.” When he took out her driver’s license to writ his report, he couldn’t believe her age. Several times he expressed his astonishment that someone her age in years would look the way she did after the accident she experienced.</p>
<p>When she called home from the hospital, further serendipity was revealed. Mary-Margareht’s nephew, a confirmed workaholic had just taken four day s off from work. When he first put in for time off, everyone asked him why but said he didn’t know. When Mary-Margareht called from the hospital in Needles, his mother called him to say, “I know why you took four days off from work . your Aunt Margaret is in Needles and needs you to pick her up. She was just in an accident.”</p>
<p>The following day when her nephew arrived, she saw her car. Glass was imbedded everywhere. The passenger seat where she would normally have been sitting was completely crushed, miraculously, no glass touched her and she was never hit by flying object; all of her belongings had stayed in place during the rollover. When the attendant saw her car he was flabbergasted that its driver, Mary-Margareht, was standing in front of him relatively unscathed.</p>
<p>With her nephew there, Mary-Margareht decided to go on to Santa Cruz. Traveling with her nephew was very healing as Mary-Margareht drifted in and out of sleep. When they arrived in Santa Cruz, Mary-Margareht discover that her hotel room was paid for. Everything had been taken care of and she spent the nest few days seeing clients. Her readings were deeper and clearer than ever before.</p>
<p>The fifth day after the accident for three or four hours, Mary-Margareht experienced the final emotional trauma. After that, she felt she had returned to her normal self. When the property from the Earth Mother Father Healing and Meditation Center had been suddenly and unexpectedly sold from underneath the Foundation, she was given three days notice to vacate. This accident was what it took to shatter the veil which had dropped in around her at that time. She was back to her authentic self!</p>
<p>This shattering of the veil was not only for her but for those around her as well. It is aligned with the Greater Cosmic shift. Mary-Margareht says there is a “great opportunity for the many. We are all moving into our new way. Get ready for the flow!”</p>
<p>Mary-Margareht continues the outpouring of thanks to God and Angels. “I’m so glad I&#8217;m here. I&#8217;m so glad to be alive.”</p>

<p>For those of you who have ever kept a secret before, here is a story about the &#8220;biggest thing to hit the New Age Community since the &#8220;Harmonic Convergence&#8221; February 25, 2007</p>
<p>Shaking Riches Out of the Cosmos By ALLEN SALKIN</p>
<p>There are some surprising secrets behind “The Secret.” For one, most of the millions of people who have seen “The Secret,” a documentary that is the biggest thing to hit the New Age movement since the Harmonic Convergence, may not know that there are two versions of the film.<span id="more-47"></span></p>
<p>In both, “The Secret” intersperses interviews with authors and inspirational speakers who specialize in personal transformation with short dramatized episodes to deliver a message about how positive thinking will improve one’s health, wealth and love life.</p>
<p>The secret that the movie purports to reveal after millenniums of obscurity is “the law of attraction.” This principle, said to be known by an elite few, including Beethoven and 19th-century robber barons, holds that the universe will make your wishes come true if only you really, truly believe in them.</p>
<p>“Ask, believe, receive,” the movie instructs.<br />
There is no better example of the magic than the staggering success of “The Secret” itself and of its creator, Rhonda Byrne, an Australian documentary producer turned spiritual entrepreneur. With no paid advertising or theatrical release, the movie has sold 1.5 million copies of a DVD at $34.95, according to the producers. More than half the copies have sold in the last month, as word-of-mouth appeal crossed over from New Age circles to the mainstream.</p>
<p>A book based on the movie, also called “The Secret,” which Ms. Byrne wrote in less than a month, jumps to No. 1 this week on the New York Times best-seller list of hardcover advice, how-to and miscellaneous books. “Secret” support groups have formed around the country. In Southern California, real estate brokers show the 92-minute movie to motivate sales representatives. Oprah Winfrey, in the first of two shows dedicated to “The Secret,” said its positive philosophy is the way she has long lived her own life.</p>
<p>In the film a woman says the law of attraction cured her cancer, but many followers settle for more prosaic victories. Victoria Moore, a saleswoman in Silicon Valley, said the principles of “The Secret” help her snag coveted parking spots. “But if I let in the slightest bit of doubt, it doesn’t happen,” she added. Elizabeth Cogan, a self-described shaman from Sparks, Nev., said the principle works at restaurants, where she envisions herself not having to wait for a table.</p>
<p>But behind the success of “The Secret” is a seamier story about the origins of the film. It involves big money and what some participants say are the broken promises of Ms. Byrne. The star of the first version of the movie, released in March last year, demanded to be cut out of the current version, which has been on the market since Oct. 1.</p>
<p>That star, Esther Hicks, 58, has been promoting her own version of the law of attraction with her husband, Jerry Hicks, in books and seminars for two decades. “We teach that you keep saying it the way you want it to be, and if you keep saying it the way you want it to be, the universe will line up and give you exactly what you’ve said you wanted,” Ms. Hicks said.<br />
Ms. Byrne had promised Ms. Hicks 10 percent of DVD revenues to appear in “The Secret,” both parties said. But they had a falling out, and Ms. Hicks could not even bring herself to watch Ms. Byrne this month on “Oprah,” the movement’s moment of triumph.</p>
<p>In a backhanded compliment Ms. Hicks said, “I’ve got to give Rhonda credit,” adding that her former collaborator has shown a monomaniacal dedication to the law of attraction. “I’ve never seen anybody do that like she’s doing it,” Ms. Hicks said. “And never mind honesty, and never mind doing what you said you were going to do, and never mind anything. Just stay in alignment.”</p>
<p>Although “The Secret” is an overnight phenomenon, its message of think-and-grow-rich is but the latest version of a self-help formula dating back more than a century, with roots both secular and religious, and branches that have included Napoleon Hill’s best-selling “Think and Grow Rich” in 1937 and Norman Vincent Peale’s “Power of Positive Thinking” in 1952.</p>
<p>J. Gordon Melton, the director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion in Santa Barbara, Calif., traces the origins of “prosperity consciousness” to 19th-century Christian Science. “It’s always waiting for slightly different forms of expression, the same old message,” he said.</p>
<p>Last Sunday evening the Hickses relaxed in their $1.4 million luxury bus parked outside the Rancho Cordova Marriott near Sacramento, where they had just finished a six-hour workshop on the law of attraction in the hotel ballroom. Three hundred people had paid $195 each to hear Ms. Hicks, a former secretary, summon otherworldly spirits she says speak through her. The spirits, who collectively use the name Abraham, answered participants’ questions.<br />
“I don’t have a lover yet,” one woman said.</p>
<p>Abraham, whose speaking voice is rounder, quicker and more computerlike than Ms. Hicks’s natural voice, replied by repeating the woman’s phrase roughly 20 times and then explained it contained its own negativity, which was leaving the woman paddling upstream on the river of life.</p>
<p>The audience applauded.</p>
<p>The Hickses spend most of the year traveling the country, leading workshops based on the teachings they say Abraham has given them. They record the workshops and have 10,000 subscribers, who pay up to $50 a month for CDs and DVDs of Abraham’s wisdom.</p>
<p>When Ms. Byrne asked Ms. Hicks to appear in “The Secret,” as the most prominent interpreter of the law of attraction, she agreed to give the Hickses approval over much of the movie, according to a contract. But when the couple saw the first cut, they were livid. Ms. Hicks’s voice, chaneling Abraham, was used as narration throughout the film, but her face was never shown.</p>
<p>After negotiation, Ms. Hicks’s image was edited into the film and it was released, ultimately netting the Hickses $500,000 from sales, Ms. Hicks said. But the couple were unhappy with the distribution. They said they understood it would be shown first on Australian television, but instead it was being sold as an Internet download and later as a DVD.</p>
<p>Cynthia Black, the president of Beyond Words Publishing, a New Age imprint, who is both a longtime friend of the Hickses and the publisher of Ms. Byrne’s book version of “The Secret,” tried to broker a peace. She enlisted the help of Jack Canfield, the author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” one of the “transformational experts” who appears in “The Secret” (and whose nephew Zach Canfield says he used the law of attraction to score a date with the hip-hop singer Lady Sovereign). But Mr. Canfield was also unable to bring the parties together.</p>
<p>The Hickses consulted their lawyer, and Ms. Byrne in turn demanded changes to the contract, both sides said. No agreement could be reached. Ms. Byrne moved forward with a second version of “The Secret” without the Hickses. Advised by their lawyer to sue, the Hickses said they declined because litigation would take energy from their own pursuit of the law of attraction. “We don’t sue,” said Mr. Hicks, a former circus acrobat and Amway distributor.</p>
<p>Ms. Byrne does not seem overly troubled by the rupture. “I’m grateful to have had the journey with them for the time that we had,” she said, sitting on a plush chair next to a honeysuckle candle in her apartment in Santa Monica, Calif. With a glittering silver circle affixed with false-eyelash glue to the center of her forehead, she related how she had mortgaged her home in Melbourne, where she worked as a television producer, to finance “The Secret” and also received an investment from a former Internet executive in Chicago, Bob Rainone. The cost of the films was about $3 million, Ms. Byrne said.</p>
<p>Ms. Byrne, 55, seems possessed by the energy of her success, jumping from side to side as she speaks. Her gray eyes shine with the fervor of the true believer as she talks about setting the goal of taking her vision to the world and watching it come true. “It’s incredible to actually experience an intention that is so big, to experience it is &#8230; ” She paused as her voice crested and swooped as if on the edge of breaking. “It’s like I can feel the lives, every life changing, the joy,” she said.</p>
<p>Without the Hickses’ 10 percent cut, Ms. Byrne and her Chicago investor will reap millions in additional profits. None of the film’s other self-help gurus were paid. But “even though money was involved,” Ms. Byrne insisted, “it was never about that.”</p>
<p>And the Hickses agreed. “We earn millions of dollars a year” already, Mr. Hicks said.</p>
<p>No, the clash seems mainly over who deserves credit, and the wave of mainstream publicity, for this latest version of prosperity consciousness. The Hickses have preached the law of attraction while traveling with Abraham for 21 years. Ms. Byrne’s exposure to the notion is more recent: she was going through a rough patch in her life in 2004, when her daughter gave her a copy of “The Science of Getting Rich,” first published in 1910.</p>
<p>The book discussed how focusing on gratitude can help a person take control of life. Ms. Byrne delved into the works of other self-help gurus, like Charles Haanel’s “Master Key System” from 1912; Prentice Mulford’s 19th-century “Thoughts Are Things”; and Robert Collier’s “Secret of the Ages” from 1926.</p>
<p>By contrast, Ms. Hicks reads no self-help or spiritual material, she said, wanting to keep her mind clear for Abraham’s messages. Without knowing what others have written, friends of the Hickses said, it is easy to understand why they believe they did the most to popularize the law of attraction before “The Secret.”</p>
<p>“Some of the people who are in the movie, I agree, have clearly listened to Abraham tapes, said Ms. Black, the publisher. “But Abraham has never said ‘This is just mine, don’t share it with everyone.’ ”</p>
<p>For the second version of “The Secret,” Ms. Byrne used Lisa Nichols, an author of “Chicken Soup for the African-American Soul,” and Marci Shimoff, an author of “Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul,” to fill gaps left by Ms. Hicks’s removal. (The DVD of the Hicks version of “The Secret” is going for $104 on Amazon.com.)</p>
<p>Walking along the Pacific Ocean at surf’s edge on a sunny day last week, Ms. Byrne said no one owns the law of attraction because it is universal, like another famous law. “I can’t go ‘law of gravity, that’s mine,’ ” she said.<br />
What the Hickses say bothers them most about the second version of “The Secret” is that those who watch it are not receiving enough explanation of the law or being told that its discovery was made by “vibrationally accessing broader intelligence,” Ms. Hicks said.</p>
<p>Bringing forth the voice of Abraham as she sat on a buttery leather seat in her motor home, speaking of herself in the third person, she said, “Esther’s concern is that they will destroy this information because they do not really know it.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at the New Millennium, does anyone truly know the meaning or significance of this time for our planet, or for Humanity? Everyone certainly has different theories, yet here&#8217;s what I know and would like to add to the mix. It&#8217;s up to you to draw your own conclusions. I&#8217;m not concerned that the believers and nonbelievers may not be viewing life through the same lens, for soon they all will be. All good things in time. Following is the vital information revealed to me by a Higher Source.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>As part of our New Millennium Emergence, our Planet has already begun to enter into a new dimensional cycle, shifting into the Fourth and Fifth Dimensions, What this means for an of us is that our current 3-D existence will soon become a thing of the past. I anticipate this timing to more lucidly manifest (our transitioning), by the summer of 2002. Those of you who have already done your spiritual work are already in tune with our planetary evolution and time of change for Humanity. As for those less familiar; you too will soon be following the shift of these changing times. Its an inevitable processing for all humankind. Just think of this new reality as a current being flooded into a thousand of streams. It&#8217;s the wave of the future. Our future. And it&#8217;s all good.</p>
<p>We are entering a state of new consciousness, of heightened awareness, an awakening end a rising for the Planet, A time when our vibration and intelligence capacity will be like nothing we&#8217;ve ever experienced, that otherwise untapped depth and scope of our brain, the unused percentage, will be at full tilt. This is very much a next direction for the global masses. Only an advance enlightenment.</p>
<p>More on the evolvement of Humanity: Imagine a veil being removed from our eyes and, for the first time ever, being able to see crystal-clearly our true purpose. This new dimensional unveiling is indeed a time of harmonic balancing and cleansing for the planet. Imagine a time when thoughts will turn instantly into things, when synchronistic events will be on autopilot (for those calling serendipity coincidental, this new time will be a very real awakening for you &#8211; and by the way, many of you may have already noticed that serendipitous events seem to be happening around you more frequently these days)&#8230; a time when our spiritual growth will reach a place of no going back to old ways and beliefs&#8230; when everyone&#8217;s inner light-bulbs will be in full bloom, a higher consciousness reaching peak proportions&#8230; when the recognition of who we really are, as One, will mean a resurgence for Humanity&#8230; when this ultimate awakening will mark our true growth, a graduation, from where we’ve come.</p>
<p>One quick note on that new film, &#8220;Serendipity:&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t made for no reason, and the box office hit it became wasn&#8217;t because people aren&#8217;t paying more attention to fate&#8230; and believing. It first took a huge consciousness to make that film popular, not the reverse, the film has only complemented and enhanced what already existed.</p>
<p>All these events translate into such a universal, planetary ascension that everyone will soon be on the same enlightened page, as we evolve through this dimensional shift, a processing if you will, we will more profoundly discover that the fabric of Humanity is truly a Oneness, a connectedness. The tragic events of September 11th proved this all too well, as people from ell walks united into this one collective bond. An unprecedented human outpouring of selflessness. That day, we all remembered who we are&#8230; One, it doesn&#8217;t take rocket science to figure out the ultimate equation here, where the otherwise &#8216;me&#8217; existence became &#8216;we&#8217;.</p>
<p>Even the dictionary&#8217;s description of the Millennium is a personification of our current experience: hope for period of happiness, peace, prosperity, and justice.&#8221;<br />
