Generosity, kind words,
doing a good turn for others,
and treating all people alike:
these bonds of sympathy are to the world
what the linchpin is to the chariot wheel.

If you consider yourself “awakened” and aware of what’s really happening on the planet, you’re ready for a major change. Who doesn’t want to shift from this negatively charged way of living?
We are thrusted into a life where we’re told to act within the existing limits of normality. Don’t question authority, live within the two gender models, pay for your education to work a unsatisfactory job, don’t freak out about the fact we are so disconnected from the earth, and from each other.
Coming together and talking about the issues is the first step in manifesting the solution – but we need to act on our ideas. This shift doesn’t come from just writing articles like this then continuing on in life. It comes from creating spaces around the world people can gather to live off grid and from the earth, like we’re suppose to.
When we get down to our core, no one wants war. Everyone wants to exist within love, its our natural state of being. Our lineage has lived in a paradigm of fear and conformity, where they assumed segregation and discrimination was the way to live life, simply because they were born into it. Tools like the internet have allowed for a global awakening in seeing the truth of what is really going on.
Recent polls show that only 29% percent of Americans are in favour of air strikes in Syria. All the unnecessary acts of our ‘protective’ military happen without any real consent from the rest of the world.
It is in favour of the few, and continually sets us back in establishing a connection with one another while keeping us in a state of fear. We are all our own governors that can work together in a new system of gratitude and honesty, we just need to act like it.
This topic is scary and unbelievable to some, and a completely casual, daily occurrence for others. It depends on your belief system and what you allow to manifest in your life. It is becoming apparent that we are much more than our physical 3D bodies.
People around the world are having interactions with – essentially just different forms of manifested energy that we call aliens, angels, spirits, higher selves, source or God.
Humanity is realizing its true potential, which is still quite scary to some. Earth is an incredibly special planet that is garnering a lot of attention from different consciousnesses in our universe. The radical shift that is taking place here, emits a lot of energy that radiates throughout space.
There is still a grand number of people who close up their belief system when these ideas are brought up. And who wouldn’t? Overlord draconians, hive mind grey aliens? We still exist in the paradigm of ‘that’s impossible’ when of course, we are the creators of this reality, we have just forgotten.
These are happening at the smallest scales, and its up to us to notice them. It is important to not dismiss something as a coincidence because nothing is just a random act. Something that happens to me a lot is I’ll be listening to a song or something with dialogue and if I drift off in thought for moment, I’ll always say a word in my head at the exact time it’s said in the song.
It’s small, and easily overlooked but I know those moments heighten my awareness because I physically feel lighter and often make new connections in my mind. In the moment of seeing the time at 11:11, that number represents whatever you make it.
When I see that time its a reminder of the awakening of the consciousness, and in that moment sometimes new ideas or ways of perceiving those ideas are brought into my awareness. The importance lies within seeing the bigger picture, and being reminded we are part of a much larger story that we are all writing.
There are a plethora of ways to view the idea of ‘the world ending’. It’s really just shifting to a new beginning, and we are in the process of creating what type of beginning that will be. The urgency of this isn’t easily seen because if you run out on the street, the roads aren’t crumbling and people aren’t running for their lives.
We can’t envision a global collapse because it still seems like a distant, unreachable thought that we keep pushing away.
Really, we are at the precipice of our manifestations on earth and there is no more time to keep living how we are. Why are we still using oil, having radiation pumped out, rapidly burning away our resources, then acting like this can continue for 10 more years? The real shift into this new paradigm will take place when there’s no more buffer time to keep putting these issues off. In the moments of true darkness, we will become the light.
In the end, there’s no need to be scared, we are eternal beings and everything is light and love. The point is we are defining what it truly means to live in a world of love and light. It is the process of everyone connecting to manifest a reality where we remember we are in control. We are the creators and we need to remember this before life on earth- within the third dimension is not possible.

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love
for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon…
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be careful , be realistic
remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day.
And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you….
May you be content knowing you are a child of God….
Let this presence settle into our bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for you.
I AM
I AM the song you sing
I AM the wind that blows
I AM the drum beneath your fingertips
As the rhythm flows
I AM the first mornings light
I AM a bird’s call
I AM a cool breeze in the summertime
As the night falls
I AM the sparkle in your eyes
I AM the love you seek
I AM the fragrance of your flowers
As the springtime peaks
These aspects (the Rosetta, Mystic Rectangle, and Thor’s Hammer) repeat several times in October 2014. We have seen a similar pattern before: the Tokyo Earthquake of 2011. If we will see some kind of earthquake or meltdown remains to be seen, but lately the NYSE seems to have been a bit shakey.
We omit the Rosettas of Oct 2nd and Oct 10th as being similar to that of Oct 24th and note that they are similar and that in some important way these dates are tied together. (Hindsight will likely elucidate how.) Instead, we begin with the Mystic Rectangle of October 12th (which began as the Kite described in a previous post broke formation).

We note that Moon trines Venus and Mars trines Uranus. Mars and the Sun are sextile as are the Moon and Uranus. This is a powerful day for purposes of creativity for…

Aloha kakahiaka oukou. Hau’oli aloha Po’alua. Mahalo Ke Akua no keia la.
Greetings and Good Morning, Everyone. Happy Aloha Tuesday. Thank you, God, for this beautiful day.
Malala Yousafzai, 17, won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday along with the Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, 60, for “their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.”
Yousafzai first caught the media’s attention at age 14, after she was shot in the head by a Taliban fighter for criticizing the organization’s tactics.
The young campaigner for women’s rights, who was favored to win the peace prize last year, memorably left Jon Stewart speechless during an interview on the Daily Show, a few days before the 2013 awards were announced.

You are the creator/creation of the thing looked to. The creator is you! If you maintain a clear kapu space, allow nothing to exist but your own Spirit Greatness and hold only thoughts and feelings that amplify greatness, that is what is created. Focus the hana on that: it’s your job!
How old is water? We often like to imagine that shortly after the earth solidified in its creation to be this rocky ball orbiting the sun, water came to be on this planet. It predates all biological life on earth, in fact – it paved the way for life to emerge. It is through water that biological life formed. (Click on image to read entire article.)
GENERAL PLANETARY INFLUENCES
Not a great deal of changes in the planets movements this week, apart from the Moon passing through signs approximately every 2 ½ days. Mercury, Uranus and Neptune all continue to travel Retrograde, which can cause some confusion, tendencies to off at ‘abstract’ angles in personal behaviour, and to be easily distracted, so complete honesty to ensure understanding is helpful. For this reason apart from the changes in planetary aspects, the horoscopes may seem very similar to last weeks, but more movement in the coming weeks.
The Sun is now about two thirds of the way through charismatic, diplomatic, but undecisive Libra, with a need for peace and quiet.
The Moon starts the week in light-hearted, talkative, agreeable Gemini. On Tuesday it moves into caring, emotional, defensive & sensitive Cancer, with a Last Quarter Moon on Wednesday, making us focus on personal goals. On Friday the Moon moves into domineering, exuberant, melodramatic Leo. On Sunday it moves into responsive, inquisitive, logical Virgo, finishing the week there.
Mercury is now traveling Retrograde through diplomatic, peace-loving, harmonious Libra, staying there until early November, causing some communication problems, and indecision.
Venus is now settled in diplomatic, persuasive, sensual Libra, until the middle of next week.
Mars is about two thirds of it’s way through resolute, avid, flexible, but cynical Sagittarius, with a need to find use energy constructively.
Jupiter is now over half way through compassionate, outgoing, positive, understanding Leo, staying there until well into 2015.
Saturn remains in responsible, shrewd, strong-willed Scorpio, until the end of 2014. It is now traveling Direct, enabling self expansion in some respects.
Uranus remains in assertive, blunt, energetic, self-willed Aries, for several years, and can make us individualistic and rebellious, unexpected events or disruptive emotional matters, may distract us, or help us see things differently. Uranus is currently travelling Retrograde until December, helping us be more imaginative, and come up with ingenious, creative ideas.
Neptune remains in compassionate, sensitive, intuitive Pisces for the foreseeable future, and helps us gradually develop more empathy, compassion, and build understanding, in a wide variety of ways, but shows a need to remain realistic. Neptune is now traveling Retrograde until Mid December, indicating boundaries between reality and illusion, causing possible confusion, with a need to remain realistic.
Pluto remains in Capricorn for quite a few years, so is a very long term influence, showing knowledge gradually acquired on deeper levels, with more realistic ways of recycling & developing our intuitive knowledge further, to use practically.

Aloha kakahiaka kakou. Hau’oli la Po’alima. I lā nani nou oukou.
Good morning and Happy Friday, everyone. Have a beautiful day!
Above: Li ~ Radiance, fire; brightness that brings clarity and passion
Below: Kan ~ Gorge, precipice, snare; taking risks; the danger of swift-flowing waters
The Wisdom:
You are, after much work and toil, becoming realized. In a time such as this it may be confusing, feeling that everything is ending or falling apart. You have identified a major pattern that has been obstructing your path to happiness and satisfaction. It is an old pattern that you’ve often repeated, and now it must be left behind. It is showing itself and is in your face, like Cerberus, the three-headed monster guarding the gates of the Underworld to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping.
You now stand on the shore of the river, where love, abundance, and satisfaction await you on the other side. And it is here that this monster, your monster, is confronting you. It is here and now on this shore that you are to gather your strength and choose the appropriate time to make your crossing.
There is a warning in the original text that says not to proceed without careful consideration and a cohesive plan. By examining the Chinese pictograms for this hexagram we are reminded of the young fox that desperately want to cross the river, where her dreams of love and abundant hunting grounds await her on the other side. She sees there is ice on the river that can facilitate the crossing. But our young fox does not consider that the ice is not yet fully formed, and, throwing caution to the wind, she goes for it. Her exhilaration is momentary—the ice cracks, plunging her into the frozen water, and her crossing is thwarted. Now there is no way to recover, and she cannot try the crossing again.
The lesson is applicable here: pay close attention in order to recognize the proper timing, and make sure your plan is fully formed; then make your move.
After recently experiencing some beneficial advances. The temptation now, fostered by the ego’s impatience, is to embrace all your actions and continue to forge ahead. But this is not yet the correct time. Reflect and examine where you have been and what you have gone through to get to this point in your process; you will be sobered by this and will, as a result, want to proceed carefully.
Your passion to advance, which is a good thing, is triggering a kind of hormonal rush whereby all seems possible, and it is, but you are not quite fully prepared. Cool your jets. This is the time to embrace the changes that have occurred in your mind and in your heart. Allow what you have been processing to really be acknowledged on the emotional, feeling level as you move toward your destiny.
You are being given notice as you stand on the shore to take stock of your situation. You are at the gateway of great understanding. Be sure that what you have done in preparation for this change is in proper order. Look closely; you have tamed the inner chaos, and you have gathered the emotional, spiritual, and psychological food you need for the journey ahead. Well done! Now you must pay close attention to your timing, so that you will recognize the proper time to make your move. Look around you now. You may find a person, process, or situation of substance to appoint as your guardian at the gate while you make this transition and safely cross the river.
It is most important that you release the situations and people that have held you—and that you have held—in the bondage of old programs and patterns. This will leave you feeling free, light of spirit; you will have released the weight that has kept you from what your heart desires and what you are here in this life, at this time, to complete. This will allow you to be loved without bonds or conditions; this is free love.
In this moment in time you are the microcosm of the macro-changes that society and Gaia are experiencing, and you are given a powerful energetic wave to ride. It is this wave that fuels your intuition, that powerful mechanism that taps into the universal source of wisdom. Didn’t you notice how the universe sent you in the right direction, to the right place at the right time, almost as if you had no choice? Trust that this was your intuition operating at its finest vibration and highest frequency. This is an important part of the equation—trusting your intuition, which allows you to love without condition, and let yourself be loved in that same light, with no confusion, angst, or pain. Believe this: love without pain is possible!
Walk your path with dignity, compassion, kindness, and integrity. In this way you are greasing the wheels of the inner vehicle that will take you smoothly toward a new birth, a new and creative beginning.
At this time you will need no translator, shrink, shaman, or priest to tell you what is being said; rather, you will know it from your intuitive voice of inner wisdom, the voice that got you here, to stand at this place at this time, fully exposed and with no fear.
This is a rebirth and a new beginning. Close the old chapters and cut off the dead weight with a sharp, swift sword. Your releasing of the old will free yourself from the bondage of control of that person or pattern.
There will be great rewards as you make the commitment to leaving these old, worn patterns behind. You will find new people, new endeavors, and will birth new ideas that have been in formation all the time you were in bondage.
Laugh, sing, and be joyous, and let yourself be found. Love is the answer.
In Lak’ech
If this sounds contradictory or paradoxical, try to imagine a holographic picture that changes as you move it. Though the picture is two dimensional, detecting it from different locations generates the illusion that it is 3D.This model of the universe helps explain some variations between general relativity (Einstein’s theory) and quantum physics. While Einstein’s work reinforces much of modern physics, at certain limits (for example in the middle of a black hole) the principles he drawn break down and the laws of quantum physics take over. (Click on image to read entire article.)
According to scientists photons can travel through time. They already have simulated directing quantum light particles to the past for the first time in the history. University of Queensland scientists learned that a simulation of two wormhole-traveling photons might interrelate; signifying hopping through time is conceivable at smallest scales. Their study might help to comprehend how time-travel could be conceivable in the quantum realm. (Click on image to continue reading article.)

and bring to perfection equipoise.

What causes us to procrastinate, and how can we change our relationship with this tricky habit? Self-compassion — kindness and understanding toward one’s self in response to pain or failure — may be the key to addressing procrastination and its cycle of negativity. A study by Fuschia M. Sirois of Bishop’s University in Canada found that people prone to procrastination had lower levels of self-compassion and higher levels of stress, which effectively looped back to increase the stress and further lower a person’s self-compassion. “Self-compassion is an adaptive practice that may…provide a buffer against negative reactions to self-relevant events,” writes Sirois. The implication is that by interrupting the loop between negative self-talk and procrastination, self-compassion may help us avoid the stress associated with procrastination, extricate ourselves from that downward spiral, and help us change our behavior for the better.

We have a kite in play from October 5th through the 12th. This is an unusually long window, maintained by the fact that, as the Sun moves out of its place in the kite, Venus will move in to continue it.
Kites can be extremely “lucky” periods and Uranus (aka “Prometheus”) features prominently in this one. Capture your best ideas, no matter how crazy they may sound, during this time period. Some amazing gifts may come to you, and when you look back you may realize that those ideas were not so “crazy” after all.
Here is one variant of the chart (a number exist because the window is so large):

If you can recall what you were doing between 3:57 CDT and 4:51 CDT (that is Plano time, please adjust for your Time Zone, of course), and what ideas came to you at that time…

Today’s Blood Moon ~ October 8, 2014
The inner feelings of disturbance, the tiredness and the inner questioning of your path and purpose are a reflection of the strength of this full moon, blood moon, eclipse, accompanied by the present galactic shift to higher frequencies that we are collectively experiencing, all ideas, movements, and philosophies are intensified. With these highly tuned frequencies of the planetary alignment that are accessible to all, you can accomplish incredibly powerful and beautiful things by moving without fear or doubt toward positivity. We have been waiting for a moment such as this and it has arrived, just in the nick of time, to be used by us to achieve momentous goals as we join with one another in community for the greater planetary good.
Prophesies say a blood moon signifies the end of days. Allow this in your life to be truth. Let this indeed be an end of days of living in denial of the great changes that are now here on earth. By coming together in community and heartfelt ceremony we can exact a great change for the better planetary good and for us as a tribe and for us as individuals. It is rare that there is so much cosmic activity in our galaxy. It is a perfect time, if not a vital time, to renew our practices and be clear in our friendships and relationship, artistic endeavors and in commerce. We all lie to ourselves of our own truth. With the strength of this moon cycle commit yourself to your full on truth, no stops, no fear and no blame. Create your truth now and live it.
The Hopi Elders say of these times:
We are the ones
We’ve Been Waiting For.
You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.
And there are things to be considered:
– Where are you living?
– What are you doing?
– What are your relationships?
– Are you in right relation?
– Where is your water?
– Know your garden.
– It is time to speak your Truth.
– Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
Now as you emerge you are clean and beginning a new cycle and the energy is available to make and feel great change for the better in your life and the life of the ones around you.
The benefit is to come into gratitude for all that you have and all that you have done. By taking this stance the fear and anxiety that can be triggered now will be converted into an energetic force for personal and world change.
It is the time to join in community moving toward a place of working with each other for the greater good, the positive side of all that is coming toward you. And what is coming is big. These days in October are the most transformational times we have known in many centuries. That is why we are feeling the urgency to complete tasks, bond friendships and to release all relationships and situations, whether in your personal, business or emotional lives that do not nurture your heart. These are times of cleansing of the emotional body which gives way to the realignment in of body, mind and spirit.
Sending all much love and many blessing … we all now will benefit from doing the work … nothin’ to it but to do it
In Lak’esh
I am the other you …
Change is going to occur; it’s an inevitable construct of time, space, Universe. Use this breathing exercise and chant a prayerful surrender that can’t be beat: He loli‘ole ke alo a’e he paio koho.
