The other day I tuned into Dr Phil Mc Graw, the focus on the show was to provide a wake-up call experience to two young boys who were already in trouble with the law ( DUI’s & Theft (alcohol related )
Most of the show took place in San Quentin prison where several inmates were showing these two young men and the world what prison is really like.
The one area that stuck out for me is when I heard repeatedly that they (inmates) had never had anyone to talk to when they were feeling confused, or upset as young men. They had no healthy mentors to look up to and to guide them.
For so many, old generational patterns just keep getting lived out over and over.It seems that we are only as sick as our secrets. Those areas of shock, pain, abandonment, betrayal and abuse to name a few that have not been dealt with.
The prisons in the US are full to overflow and we keep building more prisons. More than ever the youth need to talk and most of all be heard.
Does the world at large also need someone to talk to and to listen? Is that why computers, blogs, on line groups are so popular? Even with all of these technologies, are we really being heard? Are we really telling our “truth” healing our secrets?
Studies show that young children are not learning and developing interaction skills based on- and in -real time. They are living in a non reality, a virtual reality. hours and hours a day via computers, cell phone, ipods, etc.
Bruce Lipton author of ” Biology of Belief “ says conscious parenting, starts with awareness of ourselves. We must ask ourselves what happened in our lives (the sub conscious programs you got from childhood). These automatic behaviors are acquired from parent to parent generation to generation and must be healed.
We need to shift the belief that we are victims of circumstances beyond our control. If you tell a child it’s average and that’s the program, the child cannot exceed average because the brain will say, ‘this doesn’t make sense’. So no matter how hard that child tries it will unconsciously creates average.
So, how do we help the world heal, to create a place to talk and be heard, to educate, and feel supported?
The media, and all its off shoots. How about television teaching us useful information like, if we want to change our world we must change our mind. New Biology states that our minds control our genes, which creates experience, which creates society.

And what is goodness?
51 times goodness is used in the King James Version.
Old and New Testament, references of Goodness generally
talks about the goodness of God. The idea is that God freely gives mankind good things.
Three New Testament passages talk about the goodness of man: Romans 15:14, Galatians 5:22, and Ephesians 5:9.
The latter two say that goodness is a fruit of the Spirit. That is, when we have the Spirit of God, the word of God, in us then goodness is one of the things that will automatically grow in us.
Have you ever experienced God’s goodness on a grand scale.I have when I did my year long trek in Australia -My book “Memoirs of a Mystic”
Have you ever met someone where there is something extra special about the quality of goodness in them?
To those who have this quality, you can tell that it is operating deep down inside of them. They are good down to the very core of their personalities. You can see it and feel it when you get around them
As a result of seeing this God-like goodness deeply ingrained into their personalities, there is an immediate drawing towards them. You feel safe around them because you know you can totally trust them and you know they would never deliberately hurt you.
Children are quick to sense and pick up this quality in people who really have it. These types draw children and adults to them like magnets.
In other words, a truly good person could not even begin to try and use you or manipulate you for his/her own personal gain because he/she is too good to even begin to think along those lines. This is why these kinds of people are so trustworthy, and why so many people are drawn to them - because you feel so safe by just being around them.
We are the only creatures on earth that have the ability to look back over experiences and draw conclusions. We have the ability to sit in a chair when we are old and gray and full of sleep and say, "That was good."
Goodness is like an investment for the future: our own and the future of those we love. Every act of goodness, every act of kindness has an unrealized consequence waiting for us, or for those we surround with goodness.
Each day we are confronted with a choice: to choose goodness or to choose what is not good. Each time we make a decision, small or large, to choose good, we build a home, or a school or a book or a symphony in our lives that can be read in the future, that can be lived in, that can be heard when we are nearly incapable of hearing any longer.
We choose to be good because we believe we are building something: a home, a relationship, a path to heaven.
Without goodness, we do not have a photo album in our hearts to look back upon with joy.
Oh, when we grow old there is sadness for our lost beauty and vigor, sadness for the death of those we loved. But there is also that delight in that sense of longing for that day at the lake when we were in love and the loons laughed their silly laugh and all summer stretched out before us in eternity.
In our old age we have the ability to look back with gratitude, to look back to all that was good and holy in our lives and say, "Amen," or "poor me," or "Well that was a life."
We choose goodness because we know that grief cupped in joy and stillness is the reward at the end of a long day or a long life.

Seventh Shadow is our ability to trust life no matter what it seems to throw at us.

On Being Intuitive
Edgar Cayce "The Sleeping Prophet" was able to provide intuitive insights into nearly any imaginable question. His readings constitute one of the largest and most impressive records of intuitive information to emanate from a single person.
Today, psychics/intuits have become more accepted and respected as a viable professional service.
Are you aware of your intuitive self? Do you access this on a daily basis?

Rising every time we fall-2012 Prophecy
Confusious said, " The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall".
These are powerful and inspiring words in the face of the current situation on this planet. We are falling, and as President Obama might say, "yes we can", rise again.
Even though there are many predictions and prophecies concerning 2012, I believe that we can rise again. I see this shift in consciousness and perception as positive. We are transitioning from one world to another. How we choose to look at this will make all the difference in how we experience the shift. We are being invited to look at ourselves and our behavior. We must ask ourselves, how do my choices affect the world?
I welcome comments.
In Light,

Grief and Loss
March 9th would have been my dearest friends birthday. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. It seems that so many people are choosing to leave the planet at this time. My heart goes out to those who are having a hard time accepting the loss of a loved one. I offer the following in hope that it will help.
