Blissfullness.....

yep that is how I feel, so much is happening and it is all so beautiful my heart truly sings - excited yet calm :)

much to share today so grab a cuppa before settling down to read LOL

Met some lovely people at the craft fair yesterday and some connections made that will bear fruit next year I am sure, oh yeah I did sell a few things too and got an order for another Joseph Coat and although it was a bit dank and damp the sun shone through and the rain stayed away until evening
Next an Eli send :) I have it printed out and up on the wall so I can read it every day......
Disguise dance:
On one occasion, at a great disguise dance,
got together
Opportunity, Truth, Life, Honesty, Innocence, Creativity, Beauty, Balance, Love, Desire and Power.
Opportunity disguised as Loss
Truth disguised as Disease
Life disguised as Pain
Honesty disguised as Madness
Innocence disguised as Ignorance
Creativity disguised as Boredom
Beauty disguised as Shame
Balance disguised as Leave taking
Love disguised as Offence
Desire disguised as Envy
Power disguised as Doubt
Because...
All loss hide always a great opportunity
Disease shows us the truth we didn't want to see
We feel pain when life wants bigger wings born in us
We call crazy those who in reality live in bigger honesty
We keep in ignorance when our innocence doesn't require knowledge
We get bored when we don't find the way to express all our creativity
We are ashamed of our beauty because it frighten us to live with her
We take leave and loose ballast so we don't unbalanced
We offend with words that in reality are full of love
We discover in envy the path that our heart dreams with great desire
And doubted of our power as it could drag us till the highest star!
Moral: Misfortune doesn't exist. Is happiness disguised!.

Beautiful pictures from Eli - and Eli my fave cd is still one from you and listen to it most days - I think I shall take it with me tomorrow - trouble is it makes me wanna dance not so good when supposed to sit still LOL.......oooooo Eli beli was singing so loudly didn't notice postie drop letters on the window ledge and thank you thank you more musica weeeeeeee heeeeeee


Remember the story of the purple carrot, a couple of days ago well here is a purple cauli from Tenerife :)
{to see them full size you will need to go to webshots or facebook}


For many years I studied the books of A.A.Bailey and they were of great influence then I began to feel that much of what was written had too much of a ""victorian" slant, well anything channelled will have the mark of the channeller showing through it can't really be helped and so i drifted away, now I realise I had to leave it all behind and go out and put what I had learned into practice, walk my talk, but my love of DK remained and many of the wise words stuck now I find myself reconnected with the Master DK and if I was feeling good before now I am well yes blissed and blessed :)

The Human Condition

Each one of you has a condition you are dealing with that has caused you great difficulties throughout your entire stay on this planet. It is a challenge for every one of you to see yourselves the way you really are. That is because of a deeply embedded belief system that each and every one of you carries. It was necessary to carry from the very beginning of the connection because it was the part that activated everything for you. But you have a strong case of what we call the human condition. The human condition is a very serious ailment of the spirit.

When a spirit enters a bubble of biology and activates a veil to keep them from re-membering, they still have memories of Home. Over time, if these memories are not reinforced, the memories fade to the back of consciousness. Sometimes they are only left in the cellular memories which are your souls imprint on the physical body. It is at this point that a soul starts to actually believe that they are a human. This is a serious ailment of the soul that we call the human condition.

That is what you are dealing with everyday. Everywhere you look in your daily life there are people who all try to get you to buy into the human condition so that you can be like them. People walking around truly believing that they are the human body they inhabit has caused more difficulties for humanity in general than you could ever imagine. That is beginning to change. The Re-wire of Humanity is underway and the evolution will soon have all of humanity seeing from a different perspective. That perspective is the basis of your understanding as a Lightworker. Now you are looking at people who are beginning to see themselves the way they truly are, instead of the way they believe themselves to be. It is so hard for you to take off your wings and to put on the physical bubbles of biology and pretend to be a human. You devised a veil which is incredibly powerful and works very we ll.

Physical Adjustments

The physical bubble of biology is now adapting to the new you. There are several events taking place simultaneously. Firstly you are evolving the physical body much more than you know, it will start to show soon. Your physical being is starting to take on new attributes to allow more light to come through your body and that is something that was never expected on this planet. That was never expected in this game. It was never thought that the children coming in could carry the magic that would help you re-member your own and yet it is beginning to happen. It was never thought that you could stand as a human being and let all of your light through your physical body. Why? Because the first thing that happens is you start attracting attention, you go back into your human condition thinking that you are a human and everyone is looking at you. Then you shut it down in order to fit in. When the veil s tarts to thin you get scared and revert to your old belief systems. You revert to the energy of who you were and belief systems that supported you at that time. In effect, you revert back into the human condition.

Secondly, even the physical body is beginning to adapt to make it possible to have a new vision of yourself. For that to happen, it is going to be important for you to stop looking on the outside of yourself for your reflection. That is a natural effect of the human condition. You cannot see your own light internally. Even if you look in the mirror, you always see the negative. Have you noticed that your attention immediately goes to things you think are wrong, not what you think is right? So every time you look in the mirror, your attention goes to your imperfections. That mirror immediately attracts your problems or what you see as your challenges. That is due to the amount of light that you carry. yet it is only a slight shift in perception. It is only a slight difference in how you look to start seeing yourself from the inside out rather than the outside in. It takes p ractice. As you evolve you will define yourself by the amount of light that you carry. It is not easy at first for you are so accustomed to define yourself by your belief systems. It is changing.

Beliefs about Being Human

Part of your evolution as humans is to experience multidimensionality. This will eventually give you the broadest view possible as you evolve. Multidimensional vision will give you incredible options and your lives will become powerful and streamlined. You are moving into an area of multidimensionality daily. You are going to find out much more about your true existence on this planet as human beings, as spirits pretending to be human than you ever thought possible within the next 12 years. You will start understanding how the fabric of the universe is woven together and how to utilize it. Then you will understand how energy weaves together to form matter. You will understand how your thoughts create matter every moment of every day by interacting with this fabric.. You will understand more of your true, creative gifts of creation, of every thought sending out a vibration that takes the fabric of the univers e and weaves it together to make something magical. In order to do that, the first thing that has to be reevaluated is your beliefs about your beliefs. As a cure, as a temporary situation, as a possibility of stepping out of the human condition, start looking at your beliefs about beliefs for that covers it all. In the days directly ahead those who are willing to release and broaden old belief systems will have a huge head start on the entire evolutionary ascension process ahead of you.


Integration

We have spoken about the timeline and the illusion of the timeline. You see everything as past, present and future. The left part of your brain does nothing more than to mark time and put everything you experience into little boxes. This is what it has been bread to do within a field of duality. It was quite useful in duality as it categorized and equated everything. It thinks. Of course now you are moving out of duality and that is one of the reasons for the re-wire of the physical body. All of these changes will lead you eventually to a more fluid way of categorizing and studying yourself. Rigid boxes will no longer work as the way you see life and yourself

When you let that part of your life rule who you are and what you are doing, you start to carry belief systems about what that is. Humans are creatures of habit. Even your souls are creatures of habit as you have a tendency to choose the same things over and over again even between lifetimes. In reality, many of the belief systems you carry today may have been with you for several lifetimes.

When you start to understand how it works, you can see right from the beginning what your beliefs are. Eventually your true motivations are ever present in every decision. When you can see that clearly and remember your motivations you can make a conscious choice. If you have forgotten you true motivation you are likely running on a belief system that may get very small in the near future. When you walk consciously on your path you begin to carry more light within. These are the times in life when you are on purpose and feel it. Many of your life decisions now are made out of habit or belief systems. The key to evolution is not in eliminating belief systems but in expanding the box to a more fluid and much larger container in which you can see yourself.

Many of you are finding your beliefs beginning to change. You are starting to shift the energy of what you are truly working with and how it works. When you start to really evaluate that process, when you start to truly evaluate who you are on the inside, everything starts to change on the outside. Now, more than ever before, you will see people change in very big ways.

Universal Energy Field

The first of three tools we will offer you is the Universal Energy Field. You have a magnetic field around your body that connects you to the Universal Energy. The Universal Energy is based in love but it is a connection that goes in between one heart and another and stitches all the hearts together. In other words, everything that you have felt in your lifetime, others have felt. Every emotion that you have ever felt is felt by several others at the same moment. It goes between everybody as a huge ripple of energy goes out from the source of creation. When you have a belief system, it is a predetermination of the way that energy will return. With belief systems the energy you send out is predetermined to return in a certain manner. In effect you are limiting your own spirit in your creations.

Even some of your most used methods about using the laws of creation as they have used within duality will change as humans move into a field of Triality. Then you will have a much wider view and be able to see how the energy is stitched together and how to use it much more effectively. Your conscious use of the Universal Energy Field will become second nature to each of you. Upon mastery of it you will manifest as you sleep and it may seem at first that the wind is magically at your back all of the time. This is a part of Home that you have missed the most, so you create it first. At first this will seem like a new sense that humans will suddenly develop. Like the other senses you will use it to interact with the world around you and reflect your light. When you use this new sense in your life you can see the miscommunications that belief systems can create. It is a part of you that is tot ally automatic and goes without thinking. It becomes an automatic reaction to an external stimuli setting up a vibration within the Universal Field that precedes you before you walk into a room, start a project, begin a relationship or pick up the phone. You could say that it creates your world just before you get there. Learning how to use it will be the subject of many books to come but it will very quickly become integrated into the new humanity.

Who do You Think You Are?

The first belief that most humans have who are dealing with the human condition is that they need their belief systems. Belief Systems are ways of defining life by finding connecting threads that run through a set of truths that you have collected. In the early days, belief systems helped you define God. They helped to define who you were and to find your energy as a creator. Here your reality was built with the blueprint of what you thought of yourself. It worked very well in duality but as you are moving into Triality this is beginning to be restrictive. Things react differently because you are different. Your field is different and the energy around you and everything you interact with is different because you have moved. With that move have come opportunities for you to look at the very core belief systems of who you are.

Tool number one in dealing with the human condition is to look on the inside about which belief systems serve you, which ones limit you. Then reevaluate each one as you become more flexible in all of your belief systems. You will easily grasp higher truths when your belief systems no longer limit you. Humans are under the impression there is only one central truth everywhere. We tell you there is not one truth because it is not about any destination. Finding truth is a journey not a destination and that is one core belief system that will need to stretch greatly in the near future. Experiencing the journey of finding your own spirit reflected in the world around you is why you are here.

The Re-Wire

The physical re-wire of all humanity has already begun. It will stretch out over several years, but the new synaptic pathways and the new ways that your brain will be communicating will start to close the gap between the two sides of the brain that have created the veil. There is one side of the brain that is infinite and one side of the brain that is finite, and one side of the brain has the human condition and one side of the brain deals only with your spirit that knows its identity. We can tell you that there has been a purposeful division that is now beginning to integrate.

That was done through the two halves of the brain. The two halves are now starting to grow back together via the new synaptic pathways that are now forming. This will be noticed by your medical scientists in only ten to twenty years and that is huge for the advancement of humanity because it began only recently. This entire re-wire is starting to go throughout all humanity which is starting to see things differently. That ignites part of the spirit in the physical body and that ignites what we call the sexual energy in the physical body because the life-force energy that can now come through you and let you carry more of the light energy in your physical being. It lets you exude more light, connect to your own Universal Field and be on purpose.

This lifestyle must begin as a daily choice, for if you leave it up to the default, you will go back to your old belief systems and those things that are entrenched in your experience. So choose, every day, to be on purpose. Choose, every day, to evaluate your belief systems and your true motivations for doing things. Especially examine your reactions to things that oppose your belief systems. There are many times when you do not wish to look at your motivations because you have judgments about yourself or you think this motivation is not good enough. I should be saving the world instead of making myself happy. I should be doing something to end world hunger rather than buy myself chocolate. We tell you that you are looking at this from within duality. The entire word "should" will have a new meaning as you experience Triality. In order to give joy to all of humanity, the first thing you must experience is joy within you. The first thing you must do is start to choose things that feed you completely because that is when you set up your energy field outside of you. That is when your whole world starts to change. That is when people come into your life that are full of energy, full of life, full of expression and full of light. As you start to see your light reflected off that, you get excited about the possibilities and a whole new part of your life starts. That is the awakening that is taking place on this planet right now. That is the answer to the human condition that you are starting to relieve yourselves from.

This is Not a Drill

We must tell you something very important. This, dear ones, is not a drill. The time for practice is over. You have some very important decisions you will be making collectively about your advancement over the next two years. You are evolving at an astounding rate. You are moving so fast that it has caused revisions of your own 'divine plan.' That is incredibly beautiful and yet, it is time for your actions to match your new vibration. Do not let this pass you by for it is an opportunity of great magnitude. Do not wait for the collective vibration to hit a trigger point where you see it in everybody. Lightworkers have chosen to be here to shine light where it is needed are being called to action today. Your light is needed now more than ever before. But the first part is getting comfortable with your own light as it shines through your physical being, as it exudes from you. We hope yo u experience it and allow it to ignite your field full of life.

You ask, "How can I do that? I have been in my job for years and they do not understand me there and they do not want me to talk about light or energy. I'm just going to work and do my job." We tell you that you will see people around you raising vibration soon, and if they do not then your time there is limited. You are no longer able to tolerate some of the things you used to tolerate. When you are a low vibration, there is a wide variance of vibration you can go through. It is huge. As you raise your vibration, it narrows and tightens. This is where many of your belief systems come in.

So you are asking, "What is the greatest thing I can do? What is the one thing I can do that will set this all in motion?" We would love to tell you some fancy thing about a ceremony you can go through and how it can work, but it is simply that your intent that says it all. We can give you ceremonies. We can give you meditations. We can give you ways of going inside as they are only tools that reflect your magic, not ours. The tools do not hold the magic. You do. That is the answer to the human condition.

Time of Truth

Please understand that there is a time coming on this planet when each and every one of you will want to stand up and be counted for your truth. Many of you are wondering right now what it is. You do not know, but your heart does. You know who you are and where you are going although you may not know it on a conscious basis. Your connection to your higher self is growing stronger every day partly because of the connection between the new synaptic pathways and partly because of the sexual energy infusion which is entering your body. Your entire physical body is raising vibration. You are coming closer to Home with every breath you take. That will not stop but how you experience this change as a collective of humanity is still unset. It has not been decided because you have not decided how that is going to happen.

Now, it can be difficult. It can be through war with force. It can be through great global disasters and weather changes. It can also be comfortable and smooth. Those choices are yours and there are no right or wrong choices. The evolution of humanity is underway and it will happen. It is just a question of what you have to go through in the meantime. Do you understand how hard it is for us to look at you sometimes and see the pain that you experience because you cannot re-member who you are? Do you know how difficult it is for us to look at you feeling lost and to know the spirit and greatness inside of you and for you not to feel it?

This will become a common condition as you begin to move away from the human condition because the first thing you do when you start to release your belief systems, is to release a bit of your identity that kept you in these belief systems. A very common situation will be for each and every one of you to feel alone and to wonder if you are on this path. There is only one answer to it. There is only one way out of this and that is to reach out and grab somebody's hand. The destination is unimportant. Reach out and honor the others on the path with you and those on any path that breathes light into them. Reach out and touch somebody's heart--to put yourself outside of yourself so you are not out there looking in. So start shining the light from within and you start moving from a field of me to a field of we. That starts changing the human condition to the Human Angel condition. That illusion is going on every day.&n bsp; Each one of you has an opportunity to do more today than you have ever done before and it is difficult, we grant you that.

Removing your Experience from the Timeline

In the beginning there was a long line that formed for souls to enter Earth. Then it became not so popular not to come to Earth followed by "this Earth Game will never make it." Now the line is back, dear ones. You have created an opportunity to carry your power of creation while in the physical body. That has caused quite a stir throughout All That Is. It was never expected. Many are in line to come to Earth to take any physical body they can get their hands on to only be here five minutes, if needed, to try to make an imprint and a difference. They want to be here for the miracle that is unfolding. They want to be a part of that energy in any way they can. It is so difficult when you are inside of yourself like that, trying to find your way out. The only way to do it is to start letting the light out and start releasing yourself of that human condition. That is done with the second most important tool of removing your experience from the timeline.

Let us give you an example because there are many tools that will follow showing you how to remove things from the timeline. This is designed to help you experience full dimensionality of now, the full point of where you are. Start with every problem you have in life, you have to ask yourself, "What is my experience right now?" Develop the habit of asking this question at stressful times in your life and watch what happens. Most of your hopes are in the future and most of your fears are in the past. This is a product of magnetism. Do you know what happens when you carry a negative energy or a doubt or fear about the future? It sets up exactly what you are fearing. Rather than just a thought it becomes a manifestation and you create exactly the opposite of what you think you wanted. Removing it from the timeline becomes the second part that is going to help tremendously.

Spectrum Viewing

The third tool we will offer you this day is Spectrum Viewing. Many of you are starting to see things from multiple angles. As you are aware, it is almost as if you are a camera which is experiencing life. That is what you came to do, to search for god. You are now finding that it is possible to use a very wide angle lens on your camera of life bring in much more of the overall picture that life has to offer. You are not accustomed to that but as you master it you are going to start seeing into multiple dimensions of your own experience. This is the gift of Spectrum Viewing. Spectrum Viewing is simply choosing the largest view from which to see any point in your life. It is a way to start focusing on the large perspective of life.

Number one: you are going to find that most of your problems are not problems. We know that is going to disappoint many of you, but when you start really looking at the largest picture, you are going to find that many of the challenges you thought were insurmountable are not worth tackling because they are simply belief systems that are held over from a lower vibrational existence. They are simply old energy patterns that you are trying to take into new parts. It does not work. It means releasing. It means letting new things into your field. You are going to find there are more capabilities within your physical being. Your physical bubbles of biology will be going through several changes as you move through this. The one all of you are accustomed to is weight. You humans are so preoccupied with your weight. Because of your preoccupation, you draw more to it. We never though of that one. You humans are so inventive sometimes. The mo re that you can help yourself experience this as a spirit pretending to be a human the more light you will carry.

We will leave you with 3 simple reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect for you are part of each other. Nurture one another and make the path more comfortable at every opportunity you can because that makes your own path more comfortable. Re-member that it is a beautiful game and play well together.

Human Angel

Sadly Su P-J won't be able to make it to D's 60th as her grandaughter's birthdays are the 31st Jan and 1st of Feb so she will partying with them.

Consciousness is more than just your thoughts. It's what you feel within your body. It is a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual connection and communication within all levels of who you are. That is something that can be very simple, or it can be something that is complicated and requires layer upon layer or level upon level. To a degree, it's how you choose to work through it.
.....take this opportunity and truly honor yourself. Honor that you have chosen this to be a part of your life. Honor the fact that you are a seeker. You seek to understand. You seek greater information. You seek to be in a place of bliss as you live your life.

Beautiful days......

mmmmm days are gently up n down, got some replies to the ad in the Sur for M.st.G's furniture, a couple of young girls came up but decided not to take anything, shame, but we went on out to see Julio who is much better and had been digging his garden, we spent a really nice few hours, recalling experiences in our lives, it all felt very gentle. Finally left with bags of oranges and lemons oh and some very good herbs :)

Last week saw the end of Chapelcross a nuclear plant I once lived quite close to - I shudder to think how they will con the people to now live on it, probably change the name, that has worked many times in the past.
Sadly Sebastian was re-elected as Mayor in the village, but I guess it was to be expected.

I have been setting up a page on The Auction Platform with the hope this might give me more exposure :) have to work out how to create a link..

The Ultimate Authority
Using Our Own Minds

To a certain degree, we rely on other people’s accounts of reality to inform us of the nature of the universe. For example, we can’t all be molecular physicists, but we can benefit from taking their findings to heart. In the same way, we often look to teachers, various leaders, and gurus to tell us about the path to enlightenment and the nature of the realm of spirit. While this input from experts is undeniably valuable, our own sense of the truth is ultimately the most important piece in processing the information we take in from external sources. In the end, we are the authorities in our own lives, and we have the final say on whether something generally held as true is true for us.

We need only take a brief look at history to remember that the religious, scientific, and political establishments that ruled the day were all wrong about something at some point in time. This is the beauty of learning, experiencing, and evolving. While we sometimes wish we could just let someone else decide for us what is real and true, this is clearly not a viable option. The good news in all this is that we can confidently devote ourselves to making up our own minds about reality, taking everything that is handed to us as truth with a grain of salt.

This does not mean that we discount the information we receive from outside sources. It simply means that we are vigilant enough to question it before we decide whether or not we agree with it. All the information we receive is useful in the process of helping us make up our own minds. As we allow ourselves to sit with the things we learn, measuring them alongside our own inner sense of the truth and our own experiences, we find that making up our minds is a joyful process of integration that grows us into stronger, smarter, more engaged human beings.

Climate changes........

well we are certainly experiencing them here, the storm finally drifted into the distance in the early hours and we could get some sleep and this morning I have awoken to a *white out* - can't see the village as we are submerged in cloud and the rain is torrential - a very quiet village as the workers are having a lie in, no work today for those who work the land or are building.

We never did go to the free food on Sunday as we found out it was put on by the fascist party only, so we stayed at home and had another nice quiet day, Del phoned Sammy and I phoned Lau, so a family day. Voting is this Sunday, so I shall be giving mine to the new Independent party, who are going to work for the collective rather than a few individuals, well that is what they say, also they are the greenest, advocating renewable energy and helping agricultural work; there seems to be an awful lot of the Spanish who are backing this guy which is good, but some say the mayor will get back in as he now has a woman as his side kick, would be a shame as this guy is very much into lining his own pocket and was only stopped from reopening a quarry here a couple of years ago due to strong pressure, he has also told many folks that they would get planning permission for house building on the campo, knowing full well that the Junta of Andalucia is clamping down hard on new builds and then they come along and tell people to knock em down, the fascists don't really stanbd a chance I am glad to say, especially as they want to bring industry to the village - arggggggg, anyway we shall see what occurs.

While I am at it here is a big moan to the UK - Sammy sneaked her phone into hospital so she could text us a.s.a.p. apparently the reason folks can't take their phones into hospital in the UK is because of a deal set up between the national health board and one of the phone companies, I shall find out which to name and shame later, this deal says the hospitals ban the use of personal phones so that folks have to use this company who charge something like 80p per min to phone in and 60 to phone out, work it out, it is just such a scam and taking advantage of very vulnerable people, makes my blood boil......oops we keep getting power cuts and surges, thanks be to our cpu units.......

Back again, had to reboot as that was quite a long cut out
I received this in an email from a friend this morning and thought I would share - I have never had a mammogram and never intend to, much to the horror of the ladies of my age - who all went along for one a few months ago, I was the only one who didn't, I believe that traumatising the body in any way and yep this is a traumatic experience for the body, is detrimental and can cause more problems than actually help, this story just adds more fuel to my fire and funnily enough someone was advising me the other day to try hrt, they think I am mad because I said no way josé, I said no for the cruelty reasons but I see from this article that there are other reasons for giving it a body swerve, anyway I have gone back to taking sulphurC, which does the job without any nasties

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Story


By Sherrill Sellman

Every October since 1985, the recognizable symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, pink ribbons, are displayed on TV, poster and magazine advertisements as well as proudly adorn women's lapels. The multitudes of runs, hikes, walks and other fundraising events raise hundred of millions of dollars to conquer that dreaded scourge of the modern woman, breast cancer. High-profile companies like Avon, Lee Denim and Revlon have joined ranks along with the Susan G. Komen Foundation's "Race for the Cure" and the L.A. City of Hope Hospital's "Walk for Hope." Popular celebrities lead the charge.

Each year 180,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 44,000 will die of the disease. The U.S. has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the world. Fifty years ago the incidence for a woman's life-time risk was one in 20. Now it has skyrocketed to one in eight. Clearly the so-called war on cancer has not even made a dent in to the breast cancer epidemic as the rates continue to climb at the rate of 1 percent a year.

The motto of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is "Early Detection is Your Best Protection." The National Cancer Institute stated in 1995 that "Breast cancer is simply not a preventable disease." This tune was reiterated in 1997 by the American Cancer Society's announcement that "there are no practical ways to prevent breast cancer -- only early detection." [1] So mammograms are the front line of defence. Celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell offer free t-shirts with the honorable words "I've been Squished" if you'll just make a date with your local x-ray department.

So let's all join in and wave our pink ribbons and don those running shows and take to the roads, right? Before you get swept up by the emotional frenzy of this call to arms, there is something you must know.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month's primary sponsor and the mastermind of the event in 1985 was Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, now known as AstraZeneca. Zeneca is the company that manufactures the controversial and widely prescribed breast cancer drug, tamoxifen. All TV, radio and print media are paid for and must be approved by AstraZeneca.

It is less known that Zeneca also makes herbicides and fungicides. One of their products, the organochlorine pesticide acetochlor, is implicated as a causal factor in breast cancer. Its Perry, Ohio chemical plant is the third largest source of potential cancer-causing pollution in the U.S., spewing 53,000 pounds of recognized carcinogens into the air in 1996. [2]

When it comes to the environmental carcinogens found in pesticides, herbicides, plastics and other toxic chemicals, there is booming silence by all Breast Cancer Awareness Month programs. Did the alarming increase of breast cancer rates just mysteriously happen? Or perhaps, the focus on the cure has conveniently ignored the cause? After all, it wouldn't really be good PR for Zeneca to have it known that their chemical products directly contribute to the breast cancer epidemic.

Many experts predicted as far back as 30 years ago that cancer rates would increase citing an explosion of synthetic chemicals. From 1940 through the early 1980s production of synthetic chemicals increased by a factor of 350. Billions of tons of substances that never exited before were released into the environment. Yet only 3 percent of the 75,000 chemicals in use have been tested for safety. [3] These toxic time bombs are everywhere -- in our water, air and food. They are also found in the workplace, in schools, in household cleaners, cosmetics and personal care products. Women who live near toxic waste dumps have 6.5 times the incidence of breast cancer.

A survey conducted by Dr. Mary Wolff of Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York found that women with breast cancer had four times the levels of DDE found in non-carcinogenic tumors. [4] Also, another study investigating why upper-class women in the community of Newton, Massachusetts had higher breast cancer rates than the lower economic women. [5] The researchers attributed the increase to greater use of professional lawn care service and more dry cleaning.

The pesticide/breast cancer link was stunningly highlighted in research from Israel, which linked three organochlorine pesticides detected in dairy products to an increase of 12 types of cancer in 10 different strains of mice. After public outcry in 1978 forced the Israeli government to ban the pesticides benzene hexachloride, DDT, and lindane, breast cancer mortality rates, which had increased every year for 25 years, dropped nearly 8 percent for all age groups and more than a third for women ages 25-34 in 1986. [6]

The American Cancer Society was founded with the support of the Rockefeller family in 1913. Members of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry have long had a place on its board. Could that have something to do with the fact that the American Cancer Society's latest report on cancer prevention makes no mention of environmental factors?

Perhaps we can forgive Zeneca's involvement with carcinogenic chemicals, since it researched and patented the most popular breast cancer treatment, Tamoxifen, grossing $500 million annually. Perhaps not. On May 16, 2000 the New York Times reported that the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences listed substances that are known to cause cancer. Tamoxifen was included in that list!! [7]

It is known that tamoxifen causes uterine cancer, liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. After just two to three years of use, tamoxifen will increase the incidence of uterine cancer by two to three times. The treatment for uterine cancer is a hysterectomy. In addition, tamoxifen increased the risk of strokes, blood clots, eye damage, menopausal symptoms, and depression.

The biggest shock of all is the fact that tamoxifen will increase the risk of breast cancer! The journal Science published a study from Duke Universtiy Medical Center in 1999 showing that after 2-5 years, tamoxifen actually initiated the growth of breast cancer!

So, Zeneca, the originator of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the manufacturer of carcinogenic petrochemicals, carcinogenic pollutants and a breast cancer drug that causes at least four different types of cancer in women, including breast cancer. Is something wrong with this picture?

Since the Breast Cancer Awareness Month spin doctors claim that breast cancer is "simply not a preventable disease," the focus has shifted to the theme of early detection. Women are now encouraged to get their early mammogram. At one time, only women 50 years or older were told to get this screening. Now the campaign is targeting 40-year-olds and even women as young as 25. However, detecting breast cancer with mammography is not the same as a protection from breast cancer.

Questions are being raised about the validity of mammograms. A mammogram is an x-ray. The only acknowledged cause of cancer by the American Cancer Society is from radiation. When it comes to radiation, there is no safe level of exposure.

"There is clear evidence that the breast, particularly in premenopausal women, is highly sensitive to radiation, with estimates of increased risk of up to one percent for every RAD (radiation absorbed dose) unit of x-ray exposure. Even for low dosage exposure of two RADs or less, this exposure can add up quickly for women having an annual mammography," notes Samuel Epstein, M.D., professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. "More recent concern comes from evidence that one percent of women, or over one million women in the United States alone, carry a gene that increases their breast cancer risk from radiation fourfold." [8]

In addition, mammography provides false tumor reports between 5 and 15 percent of the time. False positive results cause women to be re-exposed to additional x-rays and create an environment of further stress, even possibly leading to unneeded surgery.

"Furthermore," says Dr. Epstein, "while there is a general consensus that mammography improves early cancer detection and survival in post-menopausal women, no such benefit is demonstrable for younger women." Still, the American Cancer Society recommends annual or biannual mammography for all women ages 40 to 55 or earlier.

"Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth," says Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute. Safer and even more effective diagnostic techniques like infrared thermography have been vigorously attacked by the Breast Cancer Awareness organizations. [9]

It is also noteworthy to point out that General Electric, a major polluter in PCBs in the Hudson River, N.Y., manufactures mammography machines.

So all the hullabaloo that comes each October, enlisting women's support and hard-earned cash does nothing to really eliminate the cause of this devastating disease. Instead, women's heart-felt desires and good intentions to find the cause and cure are usurped by the hidden agendas of major transnational corporations pushing their toxic drug treatments and diagnostic tools that actually create even more breast cancer. Is it really profitable to find safe, non-toxic cures and screening methods?

Women can make the difference in eliminating breast cancer. The breast cancer epidemic is not some great mystery. The causes of cancer are already known. Toxic diets, toxic lifestyles, toxic environments, toxic drug treatments and toxic diagnostic techniques cause cancer. Corporations are only interested in increasing their profits and ensuring their tentacles of control not in actual solutions. When it comes to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women must invest their time and money into other projects, initiatives and treatments that will truly create change.

Some of the most immediate steps women can take toward creating a preventative program include:

  • Eating as many organic foods as possible. They are not only free of harmful chemicals but also have much greater nutritional value.

  • Eliminate all commercial household cleaning products and toxic garden pesticides -- replace with safe, organic and biodegradable brands.

  • Drink pure, filtered water.

  • Refuse steroid hormone treatments such as HRT and The Pill -- these are known to initiate and promote breast cancer.

  • Seek out the many natural approaches to regain hormonal balance.

  • Detoxify the body and reduce stress.

  • Investigate safe screening techniques such as thermography, especially if you are premenopausal.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is indeed a powerful time to educate, awaken and empower women to the real causes, preventative measures and truly effective cures for breast cancer. But, let's not be duped or compromised in the process.


Gifts From The Universe
Accepting Your Family

Families can contain a fascinating grouping of personalities. Despite the potential
for so many to have similar traits, there are many different ways to express them.
As people marry into families and have children, even more personalities enter the
picture. There may be some people that we would not choose to be related to, but
that's what friends are for.

If we trust in a universe that has a higher purpose for everything, then we must
believe that family members are in our lives for a good reason. These reasons may be
easy to see and appreciate with some, but others may offer us a challenge. With
those, we can look for something we can learn or perhaps teach. In the modern world
where everyone seeks to be individuals, many move far away from their families in an
attempt to escape them. But when we've successfully built a world around us that
requires no one's help, our families are the people who are still attached to us. We
can still choose whether or not to honor the family ties, and how to treat each
other, but the fact remains that we are energetically tied to our families.

Our families help us see where we have come from so that we may more clearly decide
where we'd like to go. If we can learn to accept our families for who they are, then
we go out into the world armed with the ability to deal with anyone. Some families
are better than others at preparing us for the world. What we learn from our
families, even if they are simply blank spots on our family trees, becomes the basis
of our identities as individuals. Rather than denying our connections, we can choose
to accept their presence in our lives. Acceptance does not mean we have to like
them; we simply acknowledge that we are connected to them and honor that connection
for like it or not, there is a reason. When we can embrace all that they bring into
our experience, we may be grateful for all we have learned from them and have to
learn, while we experience everything that comes with family fully and completely.
