The nature of the mind is to accumulate. A gross mind wants to accumulate things; an evolved mind wants to accumulate knowledge. When emotion becomes dominant, it wants to accumulate people.

The mind’s basic nature is to accumulate. The mind is a gatherer - always wanting to gather something. The mind of a person on the spiritual path starts accumulating 'spiritual’ wisdom. Maybe it starts gathering the guru’s words but until one goes beyond the need to accumulate - whether it is food, things, people, knowledge or wisdom - it does not matter what you accumulate.

Dark night of the soul, spiritual crisis, spiritual madness, spiritual emergency, divine madness, holy madness... these are various phrases that have been used to describe a unique experience - a profound test of faith and spiritual endurance - that seems to be a necessary part of walking the path home to God. You cannot find the Light unless you enter the darkness.

The Indigo Children are not to be considered "superior or elite" in comparison to other humans, but rather viewed as living demonstrations of the dormant abilities that are NOW beginning to rapidly unfold among ALL HUMAN POPULATIONS.

Scientific communities in China, the US and other countries are now identifying small groups of infants and children that display rare abilities such as purging HIV, advanced genius and psychic/telekinetic abilities and other extra-ordinary attributes. These are the identified Indigo Children. Indigos can display some or all of these qualities and others not yet identified. In Indigo Children, fragments of DNA science identifies as 'junk DNA' and other portions of the DNA chain that science has yet to identify.

The magical, almost other-worldly streets of Florence are lined with shops selling puppets. Pinocchio is everyone's favourite. Wide-eyed and long-nosed, his fixed bemused smile suggests he is not too sure of his much publicised desire to become a 'real boy' - he seems to beg you to take him with you. And many do.

Over a hundred years after he was 'created', Pinocchio 's dream of being wanted, of belonging, comes true - again and again. What is it about this simple story that has caught our fancy?

Freezer Burn

She had the clearest blue eyes

Liquid and always wet

I found a sea-bed in her eyes

And enough tears to fill it

She was one with the salt-sea

Her skin smoothed by sand and storm

And she swam within her eyes

And they kept her wet and warm

And the sun never touched her

Pale child of the tide

The water held her warm hand

And she dripped and dropped and dived

The waters held her warm hands

And she splished and splashed and cried

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I want to swim with the cold fish

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I want to fry like the cold fish

I longed to feel what she felt

Yet I could not dive into her eyes

I was tanned and burned and rough

The sun kept me cold and dry

But I needed to know what she knew

So I plunged into her apple-sea

And she pushed me out and said

That she would come to me

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I am going to swim with the cold fish

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I am going to fry like the cold fish

Her eyes had frozen to a crisp

I saw her think then retake her place

She surfaced and drifted ashore

The sun came out and burned her pale face

Her eyes said that she had not felt it

She had frozen long before she fell

And I held her in my cold arms

And I wished that she would melt

And without her rain to wet us

We stood and began to dry

She grabbed ahold of my cold hand

And she tanned and burned and fried

I tightly held her cold hands

And she blistered and cracked and smiled

for casey

should passion be able to melt and liquify

it would be the ink that wrote the words that you spoke at night

it would be the paint that formed the worlds that you found within your mind

should passion be able to convert into electricity

it would be the power surge that crept up the cord and through the chords that split through time and space

giving birth to a new plain in which you found refuge

and your sound tracked us down like bloodhounds led by the chill and breeze

dragged to us against their will

pulled towards the stench of loneliness until they came sniffing at our feet

drooling and licking their chops-and when the rain started to fall we shivered

not from the cold but from the comfort

that feeling you get when you lie in bed and just can't stay still because you want to be sure that this feeling coats your entire being

and so you toss and turn and sigh because you won't

you can't

go comatose until you are sure that every inch has been exposed

and we cried because we were full and had nothing left to do

valleys sunk and spirits rose

and all the squirrels died when the tide came in and buried the floor in an endless river

and were replaced by dolphins who swam amidst the leaves and trees where birds and butterflies flew

and will fly again someday

i hope

and the sound fell like rock pops and broken teeth as they chomped away at our steel souls

and we heard it as a low hum that kept us fully conscious and aware during those last few moments between waking life and dreams

and we were trapped to never change-we were protected by the metal casing

the result of over exposure

over indulgence

over doses of gaseous melancholies that seeped through your eyes

the melancholies that condensed and then cooled into a solid armor

the melancholies that forced us to drown in own own tears despite our frantic efforts to keep our heads above

they blurred our vision and we closed our eyes only to see the dawn of day

light so bright it doesn't burn your eyes

and all was clear

Even Indigos have to be disciplined. If they're not, they will walk all over you.. Please don't misunderstand me - I don't mean punished, I mean they need to learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not and learn NOT to do the unacceptable things.

In the Jagannath Puri festival the king works as a sweeper, cleaning the pathway ahead of the chariot, denoting that no labour is insignificant if done for a higher cause. People from all communities get together to draw the chariots with great enthusiasm, upholding the spirit of celebration and exalting the concept of dignity of labour.

You are creating your life experience every single day. Your life is formed from what you think about all day long. The beliefs and attitudes that are so habitual that you don't even notice them shaping your experiences. Instead of responding to situations from an awareness of All Potentials, you react to stimuli from outdated concepts. By re-acting, acting out an attitude over and over, you remain unconscious of what you're doing, and that you're probably sabotaging whatever it is that you want.

Jesse and Mattea are two typical Indigo Children. Jesse, the older of the two, was born in 1987. He was "a ruler on another planet," but an accident caused him to fall into the womb of his mother Renee Weddle and thus he was born on Earth. Jesse prefers the name he was called in his previous life, Thomas, and is frequently in communication with people from that planet where he used to live. He is very sensitive to what other people are feeling, "sometimes to the point where it causes him anxiety" and can read their thoughts. Jesse's younger sister Mattea was born in 1990. Mattea remembers choosing Renee to be her mother so she could teach her "how to be goofy and silly." Mattea, too was probably royalty in a previous life. In this life she speaks with fairies and with gnomes and experiences unusual voices and lights. Jesse and Mattea both are often frustrated by their parents' inability to answer all of their spiritual questions. Sometimes, in fact, it seems that they have the wisdom to be teachers more than their parents do.

The dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers. It cannot let their ideals fade and die. It lives in them. It knows them in the realities which it shall one day see and know

In our New Age and self-help literature, another important realization about feelings has been emerging strongly over the last six or eight years. More and more, we hear of the connection between suppressed feelings and chronic poor health. Healing professionals are venturing the idea that in order to resolve health issues, we must resolve the emotional issues behind them. The awareness is growing that the unreleased and trapped negative emotional energy keeps building inside and eventually manifests in the physical.

In this article, John Ruskan describes how he originated his system for releasing feelings, how the system works, and what benefits may be realized.

The terms, "Indigo" and "Crystal" were given to two generations of children, because they most accurately describe their aura colors and energy patterns. Indigo Children have a lot of indigo blue in their auras. This is the color of the "third eye chakra," which is an energy center inside the head located between the two eyebrows. This chakra regulates clairvoyance, or the ability to see energy, visions, and spirits.

Many of the Indigo Children are clairvoyant The Crystal Children have opalescent auras, with beautiful multi-colors in pastel hues. This generation also shows a fascination for crystals and rocks, as you'll read in this book.

There is an art and a science to prosperity. The art is playing with the magic of prosperity. The science is aligning with the physics of prosperity.

Results are important in life. And life works out best when played like a kid's game-in the spirit of a fun adventure between two best friends. When approached lightly-not as a deadly serious contest-life actually responds more readily to our wishes.

This is a good question and one with differing viewpoints, not only amongst interested persons, but also different messages between the channelings of different entities. It's an interesting question. Why do we want to know this? Well, there is some thought that knowing about past lives will help figure out current life karmic lessons.

Also, I've heard it said that some Indigos seem to have no compassion - that they just don't understand why someone else would be angry or hurt or sad about various issues that come up and therefore inadvertently hurt others feelings. If this is true, then they would need training specific to this. I've also heard that Indigos are particularly empathic and compassionate and will go out of their way to help someone who is hurting. This contradicts the first idea, so which is it??

To find peace in this life, it is essential to walk the walk, facing what you would rather not face, but doing so in faith. Often what you face changes its countenance completely in the light of the faith you have in the Divine Essence within you. Situations that are faced with Divine peace radiating from the center change both in perception and hence reality. I am not one to confront, but I have confronted my own fears and found little to fear.
