Temperatures rising.....

I pinched this from Val's blog :) it is a great analogy.........Del is watching the weather reports for your area.....stay safe xx
"She opened up a world of close and informed examination of plants and flowers and help in getting to grips with understanding what things are, and why they are the shape and colour they are. Stripping away the layers and looking at the underlying structures did not lessen my appreciation of flowers, quite the contrary, it just increased the fascination. I can now draw with a little more understanding of the architecture and purpose of flowers and plants, not just make a record of their superficial beauty.
Also, just having this knowledge means I can approach the drawing with a greater sensitivity which in turn gives me a greater satisfaction. It is not, of course, an easy route to better draftsmanship but it really helps and, (as I do, and will, keep saying in this blog) it all comes back to the value of to drawing from life. Photographs while being a very useful tool, can just reduce things to distorted 2 dimensional cyphers of the real thing and can be endlessly misleading."
Striping away the layers of ourselves can only increase our fascination of this life - the who what and why we are - gaining understanding of our purpose as individuals and collectively - superficial beauty has had it's day!!

I forgot to mention that D stopped taking the chemical drugs he was prescribed for his blood pressure and is taking ginkgo and hawthorn - someone gave him some as they had heard it was also good - and readings this month have been lower than any when taking prescribed drugs and NO side effects - well I knew that :)
Yesterday came even bigger breakthroughs on other levels as Jules asked if e could have a couple of their friends stay at the beginning of next month, 3 days, well it turns out to be the same folk that blocked up our waste system 18 months ago and was the straw the broke the camels/Del's back - when his dis- ease first set in - I know that a couple of months ago the thought of these folks staying again would have had him frothing at the mouth, the same as the thought of returning to N & G's place, he had said he couldn't face it as all the memories would flood back and bring on panic attacks again, well now he says it doesn't matter - he feels just fine about it all- woopee doooooos!! So some good news all round.
Well I know I said I wasn't going to bother about a market BUT when D was out and about tother day he was told of a new one that had just started up at Antigua Venta San Antonio
For those who know CasaB this is the place on the main drag up to Campillos - 10/15 mins away - anyway they are holding a Saturday market over the lunch time period - being so big it is an ideal stop off for a lot of tourist coaches and we were told it has a definite artesano theme......soooooo......nothing ventured nothing gained
Watched an interesting prog Dispatches with Mark Thomas exposing the ethics and workings of the Coca Cola company - 2 billion advertising budget using all the knowledge available no wonder everyone is addicted - glad to say this is one addiction I don't have :) Anyone interested in seeing it can find it on YouTube along with the wonderful Bill Hicks whose ability to expose truth wrapped in comedy was exceptional!!
HA - in the last post there was an article on reconnect and last night an email plopped into my box from a couple we met nearly 2 years ago now - they want to reconnect early next month and of course the impending visit from Ange who ha reconnected after 6 years!

The crossroads of transformation is a point that we are at every day, every moment at our lives. It is the point where we wonder whether we should take a bold step in a new direction or stay where we are. Can we take a chance on ourselves? Can we risk being who we could be? Can we see past the current reality, which is really only a small blink on the continuum of our potential, and have faith in ourselves and our dreams? This is the challenge of transformation, to remain steadfast in our awareness of what is being pointed out to us as examples of our fear and move into an awareness of abundance, prosperity, unconditional love and joy.

Now you know why I gave Boots the big E all those years ago :)
“The population at large trusts Boots more than any other pharmacy, but when you look behind the smokescreen, when it comes to alternative medicines, that trust is not justified.” {read on} It is in Boots' interest to bring "alternative" into disrepute!!

The bigger the company the more funds they have for advertising budgets and they are all using the knowledge gained of how our brains work - very subtle propaganda - verging on mind control also something the governments utilise to their advantage, they don't fund certain sciences unless they see BIG profit in it for themselves..... Makes me happy not to have a TV any more - I am aware of how I can react/respond to advertising in glossy magazines {I sometimes get handed a few that are "doing the rounds"} thankfully I have a mind that reminds me that it is all guff and illusion and 9 times outa 10 I don't get sucked in :)
But I imagine with many homes the TV is a constant background so all these messages are infiltrating on a subconscious level - all of this just proves to me how important it is for each and everyone of us to be MINDFUL at all times

People are being herded by "invisible" sheepdogs...........

Brightest Blessings.........

After the storm

An Impressive afternoon, after we got back from a couple of hours at La Era the first rumblings could be heard in the distance and poor little Squidge strated her trembling well it just came closer with great flashes of forked lightening and moved around us most of the afternoon until finally it headed down to the coast and we could see Alhaurin de la Torre getting the full impact, today we awake to clean and clear air and the sense of content earth.

I am in a thoughtful mood for sure and having read through the Quantum Awakening newsletter have much to ponder, recognise and realise.........

New thresholds of purpose unravel themselves to weave a new yarn of instruction. Inspiration is needed for all that see themselves as the biggest fish in their personal pond of light. Growth in the form of new information is needed to expand the still waters of the spiritual mind. Life has wound you around her finger and now you do as she beckons. Inspiration in any form will give you the fuel of purpose that you need to puppet your own destiny.

Ask and actively seek that which inspires you to be better in any upward movement. You are at the top of your ladder and field with no place to go. Reach up and outward and take that which dances above you. You who are the Gene of Isis must redefine your formation of light and the need for more. Ask and it shall be given in new denominations of light

You have forgotten the declaration, “We the People.” You the people of earth must stand up for your future. Stop bending to the needs and the wants of a world that manipulates you on every level. Receive your power. This time, this day, ask to be empowered with your divinity, with the pinnacle of your humanness, and the star that lives within your heart. Do not let others decide your future. The reason that so many star systems will eventually come to earth on every level is that there are many cracks within your world. Not the fissures or fault lines of the earth but cracks within your relationships, your marriages, and your integrity.

Your earth declares its vulnerability. Earth is open for all to enter her because she is not healed within herself she is falling apart as are you. You are not together in your hearts. You are not together in love, and you are not together in peace as a world or as a family. There is separateness, as a state as a country as a continent, and as a world; there are great deep crevices of separateness. That is what draws others to earth to take her over, to use her.

If you stood together as a planet, this would not happen. A microcosm of that macrocosm that was needed initiate standing together was officiated in your 911 emergency situation. The world stood together for a moment for a day for 24 hours. Everything stopped and life became holy, life became sacred. We do not want to see you come to that point as a planet, not just two buildings – but as a planet. Unite in your effort, continually with each other. Take that extra step toward a neighbor, toward a friend that has betrayed you, towards a family member that disagrees with you. Take that extra step. Just starting with the hands of those that read this, begin to wind yourself around earth.
Humanity as a whole has grown complacent in its desire to expand. You are what you think and if you think that you exist beyond that watery horizon – you do. If you think that you can hear a sound a hundred miles away – you can. If you think you can hear the thoughts of the whales and the sharks – you are able. But until you think it is so – it cannot be completed, it cannot be birthed in you. If you think you can beat disease, you can. If you think that you will become one of great monetary gain, you shall. But if you think the opposite, it shall also be birthed on to you, for that is your prerogative as a human.
Each of you have also found your selves going around in circles in your life – whether it is leaving the front door and coming back for something that you have forgotten or leaving the house and driving around the block to come back or walking from one room to another. All of you chase your tails. Take a good look at and examine what tails (tales) you are chasing. Are these the suburban myths and tales that are told you? Are these inquisitions of fear that are granted you? Do these tell-tales and tall tales truly exist in your world? Think for a minute. If each one of you were able to start a rumor of some type and you passed it along and one person believed it and then another and then another. Even though that original telltale was false, because one person believed it – it began to take form. It became alive and then it birthed itself.
Whatever you are lying to yourself about will take form. You are not allowed the luxury of speaking negative about another no matter what harm or destruction that other has done. You are Creator Gods and your words will live in your world as living breathing entities, situations, and circumstances. You sit as ducks in a shooting gallery not knowing who or what will shoot at you next. Feeling like a sitting duck waiting for the sky to fall. There is nothing that can harm you if you believe it is so. As an artist that paints a picture, you must continue to hold the vision of peace. You hold the babe of peace within your body. Nurture the energy of peace within you. It begins in your womb, in your body, in your thoughts, in your declarations And then it will come to past.

The energy of war and hate grows like a cancer on the earth. If the earth and the people upon her do not believe that peace can be achieved as a whole, then the cancer, the war, the anger will awaken in another part of her body as is already starting to happen. When you pray for peace do not see it in just one place. see it as a calming salve all over the body of Mother Earth soothe your body with peace.

Interesting times

Heather Payton meets some of the UK's high-profile philanthropists. 1/5: Entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter {Scotsman} recently pledged a billion pounds to charitable causes

We have upon us, in the very near future, an enormous, pivotal, awesome,
and incredible opportunity for a real and true ascension!
It is amazing to see, and difficult to put into words. This is what we have been
preparing for, for the past three months (or really, several years).
This is what many have been feeling was on the horizon of late, but may
have not known exactly what was up. An opportunity like this, I have only seen
once before, when the ascension process began in earnest nearly 6 years ago.
This will be an enormous endeavor, and a dramatic leap dimensionally. We
literally have an opportunity to cross over into another reality…into
another world….into another place entirely. We will be able to jump dimensions and arrive in a different world…one that we have never seen before while in these particular
bodies.Our spiritual evolutionary process involves much see-sawing, as we evolve
from one vibrational ladder to another over time. We shift, release, integrate, and evolve, over and over again. But this particular shift on the very near horizon is quite different from all the rest.Why is it different? The shift through the September 11th portal, during the time
of the solar eclipse (BUT KNOW THAT THERE IS A WINDOW AROUND THIS TIME
AS WELL, AND WE ARE ALREADY STARTING TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE MAGIC AND RAPID MANIFEATATION), will literally separate two worlds. A vast an
incredible opening will occur, and many will go through this gate. This
will be a dramatic ascension. The heavens will open, and many will literally
fall through. And know that in going through this gateway, we will not
go “up.” We will go “through,” as ascension involves returning to the depths of the earth herself. You see, heaven is really on earth. It all happens here. It is where heaven and earth meet.
Returning to earth is a vital and crucial part of the ascension process.
Thus, it is through the earth that we ascend. She is our gateway.
We have been leading up to this ascension most intensely the past several weeks, as
we have been held back (and certainly protected) from re-entering, or becoming involved
with the old world. This was because the old world will begin its great
fall even more intensely after the ascension of the 11th occurs. We were
protected and held back in readiness for the ascension in September. We
were at the train station, with our bags packed (or unpacked!), having
left our old homes and old lives, waiting for the train to arrive (and
waiting, and waiting), and arrive it will….very soon. And it will be quite dramatic indeed.
I have been reporting that things will again begin forward movement in September,
but I need to clarify that it will be a different kind of forward movement.
It will again be a very magical time, and I say “again” as we have been in this magical energy
before, for limited periods of time, as it “peeked” through the clouds. This time,
the energies will not so much be arriving for us to experience, but
instead, we will be “going” to another reality which embodies them 24/7.
(With negative and fear based thinking, along with buying into the
illusions of the old world, we can also bounce out of this new reality, if we are not careful.
But we are only humans, so this will most likely occur,
but we will quickly learn how to navigate the dimensions by the way we are
feeling and by what we are experiencing.)On the other side of the
portal, our very thoughts will manifest with near immediacy, we will be in
instant energy, we will be supported as if a gentle, but strong and powerful
hand is under us, guiding us in every way, and gifting us with incredible
things and opportunities that come directly from the mind of Source, and we
will feel awe and amazement on a regular basis. It will be a time like no
other. All of our needs will be met, as if by magic. Like giddy children just
released onto a playground of beautiful gardens, rainbows, fairies, and magic
wands, we will experience much joy and awe, and just plain fun! And
“ease” and “flow” will be the words of the day.At times, when the energy
of the light returns after a so-called absence, it can arrive with great
force and dramatic movement. This time, it will be different. It will be
much more magical, light-filled, shimmering with the fairy dust of
illumination, and love and gratitude will be in the air in any given moment.
This is the energy that exists on the other side of the portal. On this side,
there is no war, anger, fear, or abuse. On this side there is no
insecurity, pain, or suffering. There is only an effortless existence in a
world that literally floats with little or no density.The three months
that led us up to this point were challenging indeed. At times, we may have
doubted our faith, we may have reviewed each and
every thing a dozen times, we may have done a life review and pondered at how we
got here, in this space of no energy and so much pain in the world around us, we
may have wondered if we were where we needed to be, or perhaps if we
were worth anything at all. We may have felt disappointment in how things
had turned out…or even surprised at how things turned out. Or asked
ourselves, “What was the point of all of it anyway?” And we may have
wondered if things would ever be good again, or ever, ever change.
This was the energy of dis-connect. Like hearts that have been removed from a body
during a by-pass surgery, we will once again be replaced and ready to beat again.
Recently, it was revealed that Mother Theresa had a 50 year crisis of
faith. For the last 50 years of her life, she had felt disconnected from Jesus and God,
did not feel the presence of God in her life, and described her crisis as living in hell.
And she felt this way for 50 years, but still continued on with her service.
“Jesus has a very special love for you. But as for me --- The silence and the emptiness is so great --- that I look and do not see, --- Listen and do not hear.” MOTHER
THERESA TO THE REV. MICHAEL VAN DER PEET, SEPTEMBER 1979
In our times of confusion and doubt, it can be challenging to keep our faith alive. But this is
what faith is all about. It is a knowing that the unseen does indeed
exist…a belief in a higher power that knows more than we do. It is a knowing
that all is always in divine and perfect order, because in the end, we seem to always find
out that things were always right on track, and unfolding according to a divine
and perfect plan.What of those who have seemingly been left behind? What
will become of those who are still grasping at the old energies, at the old manifestations
of power and security? What of those who do not see? Choices will
be given again and again, as there is always opportunity for a new arrival on
the other side, for each and every individual on this planet. As the old world
begins crashing down, a willingness will be created…created for the
purpose of surrender to occur. Those then, who were holding on in fear
or ego based power, will have the opportunity to let go and agree to
different ways of living and being. The longer one chooses to hold on, the longer their stay in “hell” will be. Contrast always serves to create a willingness and desire for something
different. It reminds me of experiences I had when assisting trapped souls
who had not crossed over after death. You see, all that exists in any
given reality, exists here on the earth, as we create these illusions in our
minds. No new news here…what we believe and choose to see or look for, will
manifest as our own individual world or reality. We need not be trapped.As we go
through the gates of September 11th, saying good-bye to the old world, we will find
ourselves in our own heaven. We will be in our own versions of what we believe
heaven to be. We will be safe and secure in our own sanctuaries which we have
created from the simplicity of life, without the connection to the old systems.
And we will most certainly and always be in the moment…in the now. For this is
where heaven resides. So how do we get through the gate? The more we pull
out and remove ourselves from the old world, the more we will experience the new
world. Our supports will arrive as if by miracles and magic. There will be much
more compassion and oneness with our fellow man… a softer reality will emerge.
Surrender is the key. Allowing is the key. I remember when I began a big
ascension leap in 2001. I totally freaked out. I was told that if I relaxed and
let go, and really trusted, all would be fine. Similar to the dying process while in the
3D world, the more we fear and resist, the more difficult the process. And
as we are continually dying while we are alive, the same is true. A few
weeks ago, my star being companion (or guide, or higher aspect of myself,
whichever feels best to you), told me that I would be leaving this world and
not be returning. I wondered if I had a terminal disease, but now I know
what he was referring to. If we can simply go with what is being revealed to
us, trust that we will greatly be taken care of, and let go, we can ride an
amazing wave that will deposit us in heaven. When I married my husband
in May, I had only known him for three months. I was terrified, as I had never been
married. But it was an arranged marriage by our star being families, and I had
to just trust….BLINDLY TRUST. I am now in heaven with this man, and this is how
it is with ascension. Whenever I had fear, we had a rocky time. The same with
ascension. TRUST, TRUST, AND TRUST SOME MORE.When we get out of our own way,
or ego minds, or views of how we think things should be, a new and much more
wonderful plan will arrive for us. My husband is nothing like what I might have
imagined for myself. I so resisted him at first, as he did not fit my ideal, but none-the-less, I felt
such an enormous pull to him and knew this is where I belonged, even if it
did not make sense. Oprah Winfrey once said that hosting a TV show was not
something that she would have ever thought of on her own…..and now look at her!
If we continue to focus on what is being revealed in the news or even in the old world of
illusions, we will stay where those manifestations are taking place. And this is what is falling.
We don’t want to stay there. Heaven is here now. If we focus on that, this is where we will be.
We continue to step over it, don’t see it, do not realize that it is right in front of us, and
remain connected to the old illusions. The old illusions are what we
need to let go of in order to get through the gate. We need to see where
we truly are now, not where the media or outside world would like us to believe we are.
Going through the gate of September 11th will transport us to a safe
haven, no matter where we are. Higher vibrations cannot be affected by lower
ones. If we are desiring to locate to a new geographical area, we are usually
guided by a passion, joy, and strong desire to experience somewhere new which
more closely matches our new and higher vibration. This is a perfectly
orchestrated coincidence to get us to where we need to be as well. Continually
going toward what feels better, whether geographically, with our work or
passions, or with individuals, is a good and true guide to get us through the gate.
(Another scenario is present as well. My husband Phil and I discovered
that the ancient Mogollon culture suddenly departed because they knew that a
lower vibrating faction was due to arrive, and the higher vibrating society of
the Mogollons could not share space with this newly arriving energy. Currently,
the same scenario is unfolding, but it an opposite way. Here in the small town
where I currently reside in Northern Arizona, there is a substantial movement
about to occur. The individuals and energy that have claimed to have been the
first settlers of this valley, are preparing to depart. They can no longer reside here.
Businesses are closing right and left, and although this process may
take a while, it is beginning. So then, certain areas, organizations, and
thus, will depart or greatly shift so that more higher
vibrating and light filled energy can replace them. These, then, will become our places of heaven. And these places will arrive for us according to where
we believe heaven is for each and every one of us.) If we can be still,
sit still, be in the now, and allow and accept that where we areis truly
heaven on earth, we will instantly be catapulted through the gate. Heaven is
in the stillness…it is in the “here.” Moving through and pushing ahead takes
us away from this space and away from heaven. Navigating from an ego or
intellect and analytical mind, takes us away from heaven. Living in pure
simplicity and acceptance takes us through the gate.
Allowing takes us through the gate. Heaven is here now, and being still allows
us to connect to what is right at our feet. It moves our focus to where we are,
which is truly in heaven. If we open our eyes, we can see it right in front of
us. And the portal of September 11th will open the gate for our arrival. Are
you ready to go?

Aquarius Papers - Mercury comes out of retrograde this week, so it's time to begin to crank things up after recent weeks of rehearsal, review, research, and preparation.

No Hard Edges - Creating Space In The Body
Our minds and bodies are interconnected, and the
condition of one affects the condition of the other. This is why meditation is
such a powerful tool for healing the body, as powerful as physical
therapies. When our minds are cluttered with thoughts, information, and
plans, our bodies respond by trying to take action. When the body has a
clear directive from the mind, it knows what to do, but a cluttered,
unfocused mind creates a confused, tense body. Our muscles tighten up, our
breath shortens, and we find ourselves feeling constricted without
necessarily knowing why.When we sit down to meditate, we let our bodies know
that it is okay to be still and rest. This is a clear directive from the
mind, and the body knows exactly how to respond. Thus, at the very
beginning, we have created a sense of clarity for the body and the
mind. As we move deeper into meditation, the state of our mind reveals itself,
and we have the opportunity to consciously decide to settle it. A meditation
teacher pointed out that if you put a cow in a small pen, she acts up and
pushes against the boundaries, whereas if you provide her with a large, open
space, she will peacefully graze in one spot. In the same way, our thoughts
settle down peacefully if we provide them with enough space, and our bodies
follow suit.When we settle down to examine and experience our consciousness,
we discover that there are no hard, definable edges. It is a vast, open
space in which our thoughts can come and go without making waves, as long as
we let them by neither attaching to them nor repressing them. As we see our
thoughts come and go, we begin to breathe deeper and more easily, finding
that our body is more open to the breath as it relaxes along with the mind.
In this way, the space we recognize through meditation creates space in our
bodies, allowing for a feeling of lightness and rightness with the world.

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.
