The Spiritual Warrior's Responsibility

8109365089?profile=originalBy Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

Do you know who you are or the incredible power you possess? Are you aware of the magnificence of the place you came from or the evolutionary process that will eventually return you there?

For the most part, I’m not. I like to write about it and encourage others to be open to it, but I have yet to glimpse it in a real or meaningful way. Nor should I yet, because the point of being here is to gradually​ rediscover the truth of who we are and how we can help this world before returning to that heavenly place we dropped down from to be of service.

Who are we? We are spiritual warriors here to change the world by spreading love, compassion, and awareness of what needs to change before mankind can live in peace.

Embrace It All

If you consider yourself a spiritual warrior, know that you don’t have to feel like an outcast for being who you are. Embrace it all. Embrace your mission, the vibrant life on the other side to which you’ll return one day, and the activities like meditation that help you remember how real it all is.

Be unafraid to work hard or extend yourself to help others. Accept with open arms the adversity you’ll inevitably face, and know it’s all a part of the struggle to bring in a new paradigm.

It’s too easy to let bad stuff get you down. When you instead stand strong in your faith and let adversity teach you life lessons you couldn’t learn without it, you’ll see that nothing happens randomly. Life is not picking on you. It’s teaching you all you need to know to be a resilient openhearted revolutionary.

Knowing this, you won’t be defeated so easily. You’ll see that hard times aren’t meant to sweep you away, but make you wiser through struggles that bring introspection and realization.

Be Strong

Only the strongest of the strong were chosen for this mission, and only the strongest of them will succeed. Without inner strength, you might give in to all the distracting worldly illusions out there and forget altogether who you are and why you’re here.

Some of these illusions will inevitably grab your attention throughout your life, but to avoid getting lost in them, remember they’re not real and focus on what is: your purpose and the higher consciousness that supports you.

It helps to meditate, get the mind and body moving, and do something creative that can become an avenue for your spiritual work. These things aren’t required, but without them, they help you remember your mission and remain in the heart.

Remember Who You Are

As we near the end of this writing, I feel the need to remind you to do all you can not to let your faith wane or forget why you’re here.

On this mission, you’ll encounter people from all walks of life with different beliefs and perspectives. Hear them out and appreciate the differences you share with them, but don’t let their perspective override yours. Don’t let the world drown you out.

Be unapologetically you, but be willing to take constructive criticism so you can refine your lifestyle and philosophy to better help a society that will initially be uncomfortable with you. Whatever you do, don’t give up and change yourself for a world that will judge you regardless.

Don’t Be Them. Be You.

The world is full of people who once followed their passion but have since given up and become like the millions of other people with no discernable purpose other than to earn money and survive. Don’t let that tragedy become your life.

Instead, work hard every day to ensure you can fulfill your mission and truly live. Extend yourself when necessary. But remember to take time for those spiritual practices that help you to be your best, most conscious and inspired self.

If you don’t know who you truly are or why you’re here, look within yourself. Meditate, read books focused on illuminating your true Self, and stay centered in the heart. You might discover an expansive inner universe you can explore with an open mind and heart, sharing the wisdom you pick up along the way.

The Middle

best-cool-typography-design-hd-wallpapers-desktop-backgrounds-10a.jpg?w=672&h=372&crop=1By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

This is a busy time for all the openhearted rebels out there, as plenty of issues in the world are demanding our attention and action.

Many of them can be traced to the corrupt elite and the institutions they use to reinforce control over the masses. For example: the elite uses the media to create division by inflaming people over unimportant issues they know we’ll take sides on.

The public then bickers and is successfully distracted from important things happening in the world.

By focusing on violence, rioting, and other sensational or emotionally charged issues, the media conditions us to accept ideological extremism. When we hear about the latest corruption scandal, racially charged police shooting, or equal rights issue in the public eye, we instinctively pick a side and defend our views.

No Hate

This brings me to my point: you can stand up against corruption and take a stance on world issues without hating those who represent the “enemy”. You can be in the middle. Whether it’s the elite or someone who disagrees with your viewpoint, hating your “enemy” achieves nothing.

This is one reason I take a moderate stance on most issues, including police brutality and misuse of power. People direct a lot of rage at police for upholding unjust laws set in place by the elite and, in some cases, getting away with murder or other crimes.

We should call out police corruption if we want the problem to end, but does this mean you should hate every police officer? In my opinion, no.

Hate is useless, and you should avoid the kind of hate that makes you stereotype everyone; the kind that makes you assume all cops, all kids in the streets, etc. are bad. Even if you hold some special hate in your heart for the most corrupt police out there, that’s no reason to hate them all.

This perspective is difficult to express publicly, because it borrows from both sides of the ideological spectrum.

On one hand, I agree that we should call out corrupt cops. On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with showing police officers the same basic respect I’d show anyone else. To some, this stance might seem too soft. But I have no grudge against police for what some in uniform have done.

The Woes of Being Moderate

YouTuber Lockstin has made the point that people who are in the middle on issues like race, immigration, or police brutality are often attacked more than those with extreme views.

If you say one thing (like “many police are corrupt and should be brought to justice”), people will associate you with the ideology they think that viewpoint supports. In this case, they’ll think you’re anti-police.

If you then say something that doesn’t contradict your first statement but softens its impact (like “police still deserve basic human respect and they’re not all corrupt”), people might assume you’ve conformed to the opposite ideology.

In this case, they’ll think you’re 100% pro-police and blind to the realities of police brutality.

It’s difficult to be in the middle, and you won’t find many allies. Even if you agree on a lot of other things, people on both sides might reject you for thinking outside their box.

Even some “conscious” people are guilty of this. If a viewpoint doesn’t conform to their mindset, it’s unacceptable. This contradicts the life they claim to live, as a clear sign of true conscious living is the ability to keep an open mind.

It’s healthy to be open to different perspectives. In doing so, you widen your own perspective and help others with different views feel included.

Compassion Brings True Change

Being moderate and exposing corruption without hating the corrupt puts me in a gray area in which making friends is a challenge.

Nonetheless, this is my contribution to the struggle for freedom. I’ll help in any way I can, but I refuse to hate the enemy. By hating them, I’d only stoop to their level and become what I resist. Instead, I choose love.

Love is a revolutionary force we can use to light up this dark world. It inspires us to fight for what’s right and overcome oppression with an added element: compassion for all. Compassion will bring true change, and along with reason and levelheadedness, it’s exactly what the world is missing.

Love: My New Religion

love-is-my-religion.jpg?w=672&h=372&crop=1By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

“Buddha was not a Buddhist, Jesus was not a Christian, Muhammad was not a Muslim. They were Teachers who taught love.” (Source)

Religion overcomplicates a simple message: live from the heart. Letting love and compassion guide your thoughts, actions, and intentions is the most authentic way to connect with the Source, as rather than forced conformity with a belief system, it brings about a natural evolution of the self.

The idea that devoting yourself to religion will bring spiritual rewards is an incorrect interpretation of the benefits of heart-centered living. We’re taught we’ll receive God’s gifts by changing who we are and conforming to what the church wants, when in truth, we can receive them by making a subtle yet powerful shift into the heart.

This way of life doesn’t make you wipe your personality clean so the church can reprogram it.

Instead, it grants spiritual freedom through an understanding of freewill and the necessity to use it wisely. Freewill is an incredible gift that can be destructive if misused. Heart-centered living brings an understanding of what actions help and hurt you, and you have the freewill to act accordingly.

Listen to Your Intuition

Although religion has it wrong, there is a pure spiritual truth you can access through mental channels available but undetectable in the ordinary waking state. These channels collectively represent what I and many others call the intuition.

The intuition is a deep subconscious part of you that communicates wisdom and, in a spiritual sense, can help you stay on the best possible path. It can be likened to a moral, spiritual guide or a link with the higher self (and ultimately God).

Intuitive wisdom often comes as a gut instinct, and whether you’re receptive to it depends on whether you listen to it. The more you listen to it, the more receptive you become. This is where living from the heart will save you, as it makes listening easier.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to distinguish the intuition from the ego. Sometimes, we prefer not to listen to it even if we sense it will cost us later. With so many opportunities to avoid the intuition, living from the heart ensures we’re more receptive and willing to listen.

No Religion Required

We’ll be more inclined to choose the right path if we’re devoted to a life of love and service. Therefore, no effort to change yourself or become something you’re not is required. All that’s required is to change the way you see yourself and the world. Then, start to walk with a spring in your step.

You don’t have to be religious, spiritual, or willing to become a whole new person. You need only live from the heart and let everything else come naturally. No real effort to change yourself or your behavior is required, as any changes that spring from your new outlook are natural and effortless.

It begins and ends with the heart, and for devoted spiritual seekers, I’m convinced enlightenment comes from consistent heart-centered living combined with dedicated spiritual practice and disciplined mental emptiness.

The Pathless Path

For those who aren’t “spiritual” but want to make a change in their life, this is the best path to my knowledge. It’s a “pathless path” in that it’s not a journey or a big complicated effort toward self-improvement. It is simply a return to your roots through a connection with your intuitive guiding voice.

As I mentioned, you’ll be more inclined to listen to your intuition if you live from the heart. If a situation requires your compassion, you won’t waste a moment doing exactly what you know and feel you need to do. If you get a gut instinct you feel is reasonable, you won’t waste time questioning it.

Heart-centered living seems to keep intuitive wisdom at the forefront of your mind. This helps you to be certain of the path you should take and never hesitate to do what’s right.

The greatest benefit you get from heart-centered living is the ability to slow down. You’ll realize you don’t need to rush your life, and you’ll be comfortable taking more time and putting more thought into what you do.

This will result in a much richer life to which you contribute much more. It’ll also bring a sense of meditative peace which, as you’ll learn, is just the beginning of what you can do. You can go much deeper, and your work (as well as the way you live in general) will reflect that depth.

My Personal Religion

Let’s not allow religion’s twisted misinterpretations to keep us from discovering and embracing the truth about love. Let’s live from the heart and let positive energy inspire us, strengthen our connection with the spirit, and relight the flame so many seem to have lost.

Let’s stop being afraid to express ourselves and create meaningful things, because this is one of many ways to better understand the creative force we know as love.

Love is the great spiritual truth so many teachers have tried to illuminate, and you can find it within, through the choices you make in each moment. This is my personal religion, and instead of creating hate, it places me on a path to natural self-improvement.

This is the path of enlightenment inspired by the heart.

Whatever

whateverittakesrgb1.jpg?w=672&h=372&crop=1By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

Whatever is in your heart, do it. Whatever obstacle holds you back, overcome it. Whoever stands in your way, defy them. Your mission on this evolving planet is too important at this point to let anything prevent it.

Life will seem to throw endless impossible obstacles in your way. But you must keep moving.

Whatever remnants of your ego you need to sacrifice to become whole, let them go and watch as they fly freely. If they return, it’s because they have more to teach you. Be open to their lessons, not dismayed at their return.

As strange as it might sound, your ego can teach you as much as your intuition. Whether you learn from either of them depends on if you’re open to their lessons.

Whatever trials or tribulations you encounter, let them make you stronger. If you let them defeat you, you won’t have the opportunity to do all this again for a long time. This unique opportunity to help the world evolve is filled with as many lows as it is highs. Celebrate them all, because you can learn from them and, to be honest, they’ll be here anyway.

I’ve experienced some crazy highs and lows in my twenty-three years in this life, and I’m just now beginning to accept and learn from them. They’re unavoidable, but if approached the right way, they can lead to greater things.

By teaching you about yourself and the way you respond to the world, the highs and lows in life provide a type of spiritual education. So, when something bad happens, try to shrug off the negative energy. By no means should you be careless or apathetic about it, but rather, take it in stride.

Unexpected negative situations, such as a car breaking down or a basement flooding during a rainstorm, present one of the biggest obstacles to personal growth. They instantly promote a surge of fear and anxiety. Mountains of stress are soon to follow.

On the other hand, if you can be calm, take a breath, and stay centered when something bad happens, you might find a solution that would be unavailable had you remained afraid or anxious. At the absolute least, the situation would intimidate you less.

It helps when dealing with something bad to be calm, centered, and unwilling to let any panicky emotions affect you. Otherwise, the anxiety will eat you alive. That’s no way to live, and it certainly won’t lead to the liberation many of us hope for.

Through the good and bad times, the ability to be composed will encourage you to keep going and inspire you to achieve more. Within this calm state, you’ll find that the intuitive power of love is available anytime. Why not call on it when you need to clean up some unexpected mess in your life?

Whatever awful thing happens, keep your head up and let go of fear. Whatever disgruntled ego-centered inner voice tries to discourage you, replace it with an encouraging voice. Whatever doubt you feel in your heart, let it dissipate.

With passion and persistence, you can achieve anything. Never let your flame die, because it holds the key to your soul’s evolution. Whatever blocks your heart, clear it out and be open to this vibrant space again. You’ll quickly discover your power to overcome anything.

Untangling the Knot of Fear

o-overcoming-fear-facebook.jpg?w=672&h=372&crop=1By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

Meditation is wonderful.

By bringing your attention to your subconscious, it helps you become aware of things deep within that either help or hurt you. If you meditate for long enough, it’ll reveal the answers to your deepest questions.

Without meditation, I don’t think I could receive the guidance I’ve needed to get through countless problems in life.

Meditation was there for me each time I realized I can’t find what I need in the material world. By becoming silent, still, and willing to listen to the nothingness, I discovered a higher consciousness and the potential to plunge deeper.

Within the meditation-induced nothingness, you discover the intuitive stream of thought that leads to positive places through positive choices. If you can tune in and listen to this intuitive thought stream, it’ll help you stay on the right path.

Acknowledging and Releasing Fear

I recently discovered in meditation that I carry a lot of fear. It’s as I’ve been tangled in a knot of fear that I can now untie.

I was advised to acknowledge it, explore it if needed, and let it go. I was also advised that if necessary, I can repeat this process until I heal every bit of leftover negative energy. We don’t have to give in to it anymore. With perseverance and the intuitive wisdom received in meditation, we can finally release it.

I was relieved to find that I don’t have to resist it or let it influence my behavior. I feel free from a heavy emotional weight that’s still present but much more manageable. For the first time, I’m looking up at the mountain and feeling confident that I can climb it. We all can. But we must persevere when it stops being easy.

I was also relieved to remember I can connect with the intuitive thought stream anytime. Meditation should not be the only time you listen to the intuition, as it can constantly guide you.

People usually prefer to tune it out, but it’s here regardless. Meditation enhances it it, but sitting still and focusing on silence are not required to listen to this wise inner voice. The only requirements are that you know it’s here and trust where it leads you.

Your Struggles Don’t Define You

You won’t always struggle, so when you do, try not to let it define you. Sometimes your struggles will be worse than ever, while other times, you won’t seem to have any at all. Life is filled with highs and lows, and while they’re natural, they don’t represent you.

You are who you are regardless of the trials life puts you through. If you do your best, you’re sure to keep your head above water.

Understandably, we humans tend to worry someone will pull the rug out from underneath our feat any minute. The struggle for survival is riddled with the fear that something big will go wrong. This is often why we let our struggles discourage or define us; we fear nothing will ever change so we try to change nothing.

Life is more than a continuous struggle, so we have no reason to think this is all we’ll get out of it. Amazing things happen every day, but we won’t see them if we only focus on the negative. If we convince ourselves life is nothing but misery, this is the life we’ll create.

We’re powerful creators, but to make any positive changes, we must be open to the good and bad sides in life. Then, you can transcend and replace the “good” and “bad” duality with love.

We All Struggle

I’ll no longer let fear or adversity define me. I will untangle this knot no matter how much effort it takes, and I’ll share what I can along the way. When trying to improve yourself, it helps to know others are in the same boat and can share what they’ve learned. It helps even more to know you can do the same for them.

If you have a vision of the life you want to live but struggle to materialize it, know that there are plenty of others just like you. We all struggle, but if we listen to the intuition and take the right paths, we’ll overcome all adversity.

We’ll eventually see that evolution is all about the journey, which is endless, and not the destination. For some, the destination is universal enlightenment. But spiritual evolution goes on forever. Right now, we’re engaged in the effort to advance to higher levels. The struggle might not be as intense on those levels, but we’ll continue to learn and evolve.

Remember that your current circumstances are mere symptoms of your evolutionary journey. The intuition will help you decode the lessons in every problem, so plug in to this incredible power source. It will ensure you conquer fear with love.

8 Facts About the Dakota Access Pipeline

8109362261?profile=originalBy Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) was recently back in the news, with Trump issuing an executive order approving its completion and the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Army Corps have also granted easement for construction to continue, despite that they denied it just a few months ago.

The struggle continues, and water protectors are still hard at work raising awareness of the violation of native rights and the potential for millions of people to lose clean drinking water. Unfortunately, the company constructing the pipeline has close ties with the newly elected president.

Add this to the fact that police have responded brutally to protestors (and will probably continue to), and you have a recipe for indefinite strife.

Here are eight facts about the Dakota Access Pipeline and the situation in Standing Rock that may or may not make you want to join the struggle.

  1. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a 1,100-mile oil pipeline under construction from North Dakota (specifically, the Bakken shale oil fields) to Peoria, IL

It’s a $3.8 billion project planned to cross Lakota Treaty Territory at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, where it would reside under the Missouri river. (1)

  1. President Trump recently signed executive orders approving the completion of the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines

His reason was that it’ll bring in jobs. Congress can’t overturn the decision, but the Standing Rock Sioux are preparing legal action and “mass civil disobedience”. (2)

  1. Trump had investments in the company constructing the Dakota Access Pipeline

In December, Trump sold his stake in Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), the company constructing DAPL, to avoid controversy. But he continues to be close with the company. Kelcy Warren, owner of Energy Transfer Partners, gave $100,000 to a fundraising effort for Trump when he was running. The Washington Post reports that Trump’s share in the company was between $500,000 and $1 million in 2015. (2)

For this and other reasons, many people expected Trump to approve the pipeline’s completion when he took office. They were right.

  1. DAPL’s construction would bring a renewal of fracking in the Bakken region

Fracking, an oil extraction method often targeted by environmental activists for its recklessness, could become popular again in the Bakken region when the pipeline is finished. (1)

  1. The pipeline will pollute a main source of freshwater for the Standing Rock Sioux and 8 million other residents

Not only the Standing Rock Sioux, but 8 million residents who currently enjoy clean drinking water will have to go without if the pipeline leaks. (1)

  1. Concerns over the pipeline leaking have already caused it to be moved once

The pipeline’s original route passed through North Dakota’s state capital, Bismarck. It was moved, however, over similar concerns for the city’s water supply. (3)

  1. The government has conducted surveillance on water protectors

The Electronic Frontier Foundation recently released a report involving “numerous” law enforcement agencies in which anecdotal reports were compiled of the suspicious behavior of some protestors’ cell phones. This behavior included an unusual drain on the battery and certain apps, or the phone altogether, crashing unexpectedly. (4)

The report notes that some people observed attempts to log in to their Google accounts. Facebook posts and messenger threads also reportedly disappeared, and many uploads – especially live ones – would either fail to complete or disappear after processing. The IP addresses traced to the attempts to log in to Google accounts were most often linked to “North Dakota’s Information & Technology Department”. (4)

To be fair, though, the Electronic Frontier Foundation notes that it’s difficult to determine the true cause of all this. (4)

  1. DAPL police blew up a water protector’s arm

Sophia Wilansky is a DAPL protestor who nearly lost her arm after it was blown up by a grenade fired by militarized police. Rumors circulated that doctors had to amputate the arm, but they turned out untrue. (5)

Nonetheless, it’s a traumatic thing to happen to someone who has the audacity to stand up for clean water.

Some people might think Trump’s decision to approve the Dakota Access Pipeline’s completion is no big deal. Some are praising him for creating jobs. But they’re unaware of the literal blood, sweat, and tears that have went into this struggle.

Until we can see the struggle of others as no different from our own, we’ll continue to support outrageous politicians sponsored by big corporations, none of which truly care about the people. Hopefully, in time, we’ll develop compassion and see that it’s not okay to break treaties or pollute sacred land.

8109361856?profile=original(Part 1 can be found here: https://openheartedrebel.com/2017/01/19/alchemy-astrology-spiritual-transformation-part-1/)

By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

Last week, I gave a basic introduction to astrology and alchemy with the promise that in this next installment, we’d learn how the two are connected.

When researching their connections, however, I discovered an overwhelming amount of information that would take countless reports to cover. So, for the sake of length, we’ll check out some basic information on their connections and leave the more complex stuff for another time.

Before we dive into the information, I’d once again like to give a few shout-outs.

Thanks to Eve Dembowski, Cosmic Intelligence Agency, Karen Bartlett at The Spagyricus Institute, Susan Levitt, and The Mountain Astrologer for their information on the connections between these two fascinating schools of thought.

These sources provide great information on alchemy and astrology respectively, but if you research one, expect the other to pop up somewhere.

Let’s Begin…

Eve Dembowski at Cosmic Intelligence Agency writes that the connection between alchemy and astrology is rooted in the fifth and fourth century BC. Our understanding of this connection comes from the philosophies of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, as well as the metallurgical skills of ancient Egyptians. (1)

Eve writes that the Emerald Tablet summarizes the meaning and structure of alchemy. Knowledge of this meaning and structure was presented to the man believed to be the author of the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes Trismegistus. Despite that this knowledge was pure at the time, our understanding of alchemy and astrology has become heavily distorted in our modern age. (1)

Now, Eve writes, these once strong practices appear to be little more than “philosophical musings” due to the materialistic scientific view that’s standard today. These days, most people think alchemy and astrology are nothing but superstition. (1)

The Essence of All Creation

Eve writes that alchemy and astrology both address the spirit’s “movement and manifestation” but function on “different levels” or “different realms”. Astrology deals with the celestial realm and alchemy the “sub-terrestrial” realm. (1)

She describes spirit as the foundation or “essence” of all creation, and this essence connects everything. Spirit permeates all matter and form, providing them “substance and vitality”. (1)

Spirit, or “essential form”, she writes, can be likened to the vertical threads of life, with the material world likened to the horizontal threads. Soul is a combination of spirit and body, essential and material; and it’s a result of the spiritual and material uniting to form life. The soul’s primary purpose is to reflect spirit. (1)

Purifying & Aligning the Body

Eve writes that alchemy and astrology share the common purpose of purifying and aligning the body with the soul so the spirit can reflect itself purely through the body, which is its physical manifestation. Although some see alchemy as more of a philosophical than literal endeavor, psychologists led by Carl Jung provided clarity on it by applying it to the “psychotherapeutic process” of individual evolution. (1)

The approach that resulted, Eve writes, is used by psychological astrologers to this day. This new understanding and approach is helpful for individual or personal growth but ultimately misrepresents alchemy. Like astrology, alchemy is about more than individual evolution. It encompasses the philosophical, chemical, and psychological. (1)

Eve writes that successful physical alchemy results in the creation of gold, but its ultimate intention is to purify the soul so spirit can reflect truthfully in the physical world. In this sense, alchemy’s true aim is to transform the “I” or ego-self, as it represents a barrier to the flooding of consciousness into the physical world by the light of spirit. The alchemical view is that consciousness is everywhere and in everything; from the metals in the ground to the planets in space. (1)

Dangerous Occult Knowledge?

Alchemy has always been associated with the esoteric and occult, Eve writes. In the past, only certain people were deemed fit to practice this “royal art”. It was essentially closed to the public. A certain level of wisdom was required before one could know the secrets of the alchemists, and its true purpose is hidden in the symbolism comprising the alchemical language. This language shares similarities with astrological symbolism. (1)

Eve writes that knowledge of alchemy was considered dangerous for someone improperly prepared. In a philosophical sense, it threatened religions of the time, which in turn ruthlessly suppressed it. Thus, alchemy needed to stay hidden. This could be why so many old alchemic texts were written with secret language, riddles, and illustrated symbols, among other oddities. (1)

Eve writes that the Corpus Hermeticum, said to have recorded “all human knowledge” up to the point it was written, provides some of the oldest astrological, alchemical, and philosophical wisdom. The oft-quoted phrase, “What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that below”, (or “as above, so below”) originates with this book and represents the basic foundational principle of alchemy, astrology, and magic. (1)

Science Catching Up to Alchemists?

Karen Bartlett at The Spagyricus Institute writes that old “pseudo sciences” like alchemy and astrology are easier to understand if you consider that everything is connected. Thanks to Quantum Physics and the Unified Field Theory, we now have a scientific context for this idea. (2)

Karen writes that science is confirming all matter is composed of “one thing”, as ancient alchemists understood. Thanks to modern science, the phrase “as above, so below” is being proven (or at the very least, clarified). (2)

For related reading, Karen recommends the following books:

  • The Dancing Woo Li Masters by Gary Zukav
  • God and the New Physics
  • The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot (2)

She also recommends:

  • Real Alchemy by Robert Bartlett
  • The Way of the Crucible by Robert Bartlett
  • The Alchemist’s Handbook by Frater Albertus
  • Herbal Alchemy by Junius Manfried
  • The Idiot’s Guide to Alchemy by Dennis William Hauck (2)

“One Giant Hologram”

Karen writes that Michael Talbot’s Holographic Theory takes the idea that everything is connected even further by displaying how, regardless of what piece of the cosmic puzzle you look at, everything fits together. Essentially, it’s all “one giant hologram”. (2)

Karen cites this as a reason acupuncture in your foot or ear can affect an organ or condition somewhere else in the body you wouldn’t expect it to affect. It’s also why you can determine a person’s health issues and other things about their life based on the astrological sign they’re born under. (2)

This is what I love about alchemy and astrology: they illuminate our connection with the earth and the cosmos. Not only do they invite us to consider the presence of a soul in everything; they provide extensive knowledge on how to discover and utilize it for a fulfilling, soulful life.

By making us aware of this eternal, all-encompassing collective soul, they invite us to approach the world with love and empathy. Your worldview will immediately change when you realize that everything, down to the tiniest speck of dust, is conscious. Hopefully you’ll develop compassion, because the world needs more of it.

More on the Four Elements

I’ll conclude this report with some more basic information on alchemy, astrology, and the four elements prevalent in both practices.

Susan Levitt writes that the four elements – earth, wind, fire, and water – are found in various spiritual and magic systems. Examples include the four astrological elements, the four suits of a tarot deck, and the four elements from alchemical symbols in medieval Europe and ancient Egypt. As we know, the purpose of alchemy is to transform one’s base self into gold. (3)

In external alchemy, this is applied to things like lead. Inner alchemy, however, is all about becoming enlightened and creating a golden light body, so to speak.

With thanks to Susan, here’s some information on each element:

  1. Water

Susan writes that water is a nurturing, feminine element that represents love, emotion, faith, and spiritual belief. It’s described as the life essence and the “sea of fertility” (among other things). Since it can “flow around” any obstacle without changing its essence, the ancient Chinese believed it’s the most powerful element. (3)

  1. Fire

Fire, Susan writes, is an exciting, masculine element. It represents will, destiny, drive, and “spirit in action”. The myth of Apollo in his sun chariot is one of many examples of a myth centered on the element of fire. (3)

Susan writes that fire and water share great symbolic significance. Their mixture represents an alchemical balance, either of emotion put into action or action stemming from intense emotion. In the two elements, we find the balanced polarity of yin and yang. (3)

Susan describes it as the “harmonious blend” of night and day, dark and light, etc. Together, these masculine and feminine elements represent the essence of life. The separation of yin and yang signals death. (3)

  1. Air

Susan writes that air is a masculine element that represents the mind, intellect, and mental activity. The Tower of Babel and the smoke in a peace pipe both represent the air element. Intellectual activity and communicative abilities are associated with air and have been valued throughout history. (3)

  1. Earth

Earth, Susan writes, is a stable, feminine element that represents health, money, the material world, tangible material things, and the idea of a Mother Earth. Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders is a symbol of the earth element. (3)

Susan writes that just like fire and water, earth and air represent a male and female polarity. The mixture of earth and air represents the alchemical balance of bringing ideas into reality while changing reality with those ideas, beliefs, and values. (3)

Conclusion

Longtime fans of alchemy and astrology will tell you the two are sacred and connected. If approached with an open heart, they can impart much-needed wisdom and help you realize the soul’s true potential.

Nearly every philosophy contains genuine bits of wisdom regarding evolution and enlightenment. With alchemy and astrology, it’s hidden in symbols and secret languages to keep it away from the inexperienced. In this era, however, the masses are waking up and hidden wisdom is being revealed.

Do you enjoy studying alchemy and astrology? For more information, I highly recommend checking out the sources used for this writing. As with most spiritual traditions, the rabbit hole goes deeper than what we covered here. Dive on in by checking out the sources below.

Have No Fear - Part 2/2

8109360870?profile=originalBy Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

(Continued from part 1. Read full post here.)

Once you have an idea of the unique path you want to walk, love will inspire you to accept the challenge of fear. You’ll no longer doubt yourself when fear steps in the way, because love will be there to remind you you’re a spark of God who can persevere in the darkest circumstances.

Love and Service

Fear may be ruthless, but love is the opposite. Love is forgiving, welcoming, and understanding. If you let it express itself authentically, it will help you through your fear. It will help you keep on when you want nothing more than to give up, and it’ll consistently remind you why you’re doing this: to help others.

In truth, a fulfilling life is not spent pursuing one’s own interests. The path of love, which brings the understanding that we know nothing in the big picture, reveals that the most fulfilling life is spent serving others.

Whether it’s through creative work, activism, or helping your community, serving others with an open heart will bring the transcendence of fear and a subsequent burst of inspiration. It motivates me to know this work is just as much for you as it is me. Knowing this will help someone, in some way, inspires me to keep going.

I’m almost certain serving others in a similar way will help you get past fear and find meaning in your life. But to be humble enough to serve others with the ego out of the way, you must understand how little we all know in the big picture. Otherwise, you’ll spend less time helping and more time preaching.

Knowing Nobody Knows

This brings us back to the value of knowing we know nothing. I find it imperative when studying any spiritual philosophy to remember that when it comes down to it, we’re tethered to a giant rock in an unfathomably large cosmos and being kept alive by a giant yellow burning star.

Nothing about our existence is normal, and nobody short of the Source itself can claim to know what’s going on. Science does its best, and despite its focus on the material world and denial of the spiritual, it’s found a lot of answers.

Spirituality is here to fill the gaps left by science, but it can only properly do so if approached with an open mind. Gone are the days when finding and sticking with one solid belief system can be considered helpful to mankind’s evolution.

If you want spirituality, it’s best to walk your own path and let the preachers and gurus say what they will. In walking this path, you’ll be humbled to see how little you and the rest of the world truly know.

This will free you to explore different philosophies with a feeling of detachment, as if you were there for little more than spiritual entertainment. Moving freely between different philosophies, you’ll learn to extract the best out of all of them.  Fear, once acknowledged, will no longer hold you back.

Go Explore

Knowing you know nothing will free you to be an explorer instead of just a scientific or spiritual thinker. As an explorer, you can learn or study whatever you want with no dogmatic spiritual or scientific mindset to hold you back. You can seek wisdom from Einstein as willingly as you would the Buddha, or vice versa.

You can be open to everyone’s perspective while remembering that the best wisdom lives within. You can get comfortable with this beautiful, outrageous, uncontrollable mess we call life as you discover the secret to a fulfilling existence: selfless service.

So, for your sake and the sake of the people around you, go explore. Set yourself free. Don’t be afraid to live with fear, and don’t be afraid to live without it. Get comfortable knowing nothing, and try to appreciate what you’ve learned so far.

I’m confident that every genuine scientific and spiritual path leads to love, so if you’re unsure where to start, start with the heart. Let love guide you, because no matter how far you’ve strayed, it will put you back on your path.

The Ultimate Freedom

Be comfortable with who you are. The world needs you to be the unique person only you can be, but to do this, you must heal the fear standing in your way. It’ll deplete your confidence and drown out your intuitive voice if you let it, so instead, heal it and never look back.

Fear is the ultimate dream killer, but transcending it, which requires you to acknowledge it, brings the ultimate freedom; the freedom to explore and enjoy your life.

You’ll no longer be tied down by belief systems that prevent you from checking out different philosophies. You’ll no longer cling stubbornly to your beliefs or fear different perspectives. You’ll be free to live from the heart, and nothing – not even your greatest fears – will stop you.

Have No Fear - Part 1/2

freedom.jpg?w=672&h=372&crop=1By Wes Annac, Editor, Openhearted Rebel

Writing again after a nearly month-long slump, which included being sick with a 103-degree fever, I feel a lot of fear.

I fear failure, inadequacy, fatigue, laziness – the list could go on. I fear I’ll just stop writing one day and never pick it back up. This will obviously never happen, but the first step to healing this irrational fear is to shed light on it.

Right now, inadequacy and failure are two of my greatest fears. Although I know they’re irrational and success is assured if I keep going, the fear that my writing is insignificant or that one day I’ll decide it’s not worth it and give up has ironically kept me from writing.

I see now that to suppress this fear will only make it stronger, whereas being open to it will bring healing.

Why Suppress Fear?

Why do we suppress fear? What is it about this constrictive emotion that makes us want to push it under the surface?

I think for most of us, the answer is that we don’t want it to show. We don’t want the world to see us in our realest, rawest, most vulnerable state. We want to maintain the illusion that we have it all figured out. We have everything together, and nobody has any reason to think we don’t.

But inside, we’re sad, fearful, unsure, and unwilling to acknowledge the pain. This eats away at us from within.

We’re usually too prideful to work through it on our own, much less ask loved ones for help. It’s here, however, whether we acknowledge it or not. For most of us, the choice not to acknowledge it is our greatest source of pain.

Nobody Knows

I’d love for my writing to convince you I have life figured out, but I don’t. The very notion is presumptive, because nobody, not even the greatest scientific or spiritual thinker, has figured out this bizarre thing we call life.

We’re each doing our best to establish truth and create a moderately successful life, but to do so, we need to be comfortable with the mystery. Even those who ask the big questions about life, science, spirituality, and other important topics are basically feeling around in the dark.

If you think the idea that everyone carries inner pain and nobody really knows what’s going on is a little pessimistic or nihilistic, read on to understand why knowing you know nothing can be the key to mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.

Before we move on to that, let’s spend some more time on this emotional pain most don’t acknowledge.

“The Only Thing We Have to Fear…”

We don’t acknowledge it because, put simply, we’re afraid of the fear involved. Is a certain well-known quote about “the only thing we have to fear” coming to mind? It should be, because it’s relevant, profound, and worth pondering.

Fear is the scariest thing of all, because it’s the source of everything that scares you. It is everything that scares you.

Fear is the troll standing in front of the bridge you want to cross, demanding you pay it first. But this troll doesn’t go away when you pay it. It stays put, demands more, and ensures you never cross. If it has its way, you’ll forget about the bridge altogether. You’ll stop trying and stop caring.

You’ll be content to sit in front of the TV in your spare time because it’s comfortable and requires no effort toward personal change. The troll will return the moment you attempt such a change, ready to bombard you and hopefully lull you back to the couch.

We suppress fear because it’s overwhelming, but in doing so, we increase its power and control.

Acknowledge Fear, Live Anyway

So, how can we get past this seemingly insurmountable wall of fear? The first step is to acknowledge it and the desire to suppress it. The next step is more difficult: live the way you want regardless of how much it scares you.

You’ll have to do this while still dealing with the fear that directly inhibits you. Let me be clear, however: this does not mean you should suppress fear when it surfaces at inconvenient times. It means you should be open enough to heal it while refusing to let it take you off your path.

It’ll be difficult, but how many worthwhile achievements are ever easy? It’s a doable yet difficult and worthwhile challenge for he who desires genuine mental, emotional, or spiritual growth.

I’ve learned that to be open to love, you must accept fear. Shining the light of love onto fear, hesitation, and uncertainty will help you see them in a new light and subsequently heal them. In this light, they seem like little more than obstacles on the path of personal growth.

lgtw.jpgFormerly Wes Annac’s Personal Blog, I (Wes Annac) created Conscious Oneness with the intention of providing a place for people to start talking about unity, oneness, and various other concepts that can usher us into an age of peace and prosperity.

Unity is constantly talked about and advocated while war and inequality continue to plague us, and the more movements and websites that are maintained in the name of walking our talk, the better.

People have recognized that division holds us back from progress and sustainability for centuries, and to change this world we have to start talking about how we can change it and, more importantly, put in the effort. No one person has all of the answers, and everyone’s perspective needs to be heard.

A blogger or writer can type away about unity for months, but if people don’t join the discussion, progress can’t be made. I’m confident in saying that progress will be made on this website with the willing effort of all of you out there to make it, and this is just one of many platforms for us to start talking about and cultivating unity.

On Conscious Oneness, you’ll find everything I’ve written since the beginning of 2012 (in the archives), as well as my most recent articles. You’ll also find the Conscious Oneness Mission Statement; a page about the importance of unity; a page about our ongoing paradigm shift; and a page for us to discuss unity and how we can realize it on the world stage.

It’s time to arise, fellow world changers, because we have a lot of work to do.

meditation.jpg?width=250Concluded from Part 1

If cannabis is used without a spiritual intent in mind, it can only put one on an elevated plane of happiness that doesn’t last for very long, unless one “uses more” and allows a crutch to develop.

From there, potential destructive effects on one’s mind and psyche could come about, but it’s not as much because of the cannabis itself as it is the intent of the user and the manner in which they fixate themselves on it. Perhaps it’s not as healthy for one’s mind or spirit to consistently seek an outward source of elevated happiness when such happiness exists constantly within.

Again; finding and reaching that greater happiness and wholeness with oneself can see one never needing a crutch to get by, and can potentially elevate cannabis use to use that doesn’t have the crutch-like negative mental/emotional effects it otherwise could.

Using cannabis as a sacrament or an aid in meditation, if one’s vibration is already situated on a certain purer plane and one doesn’t need to use it to depart sobriety, could potentially help open one up further in my opinion, depending on various different circumstances.

It’s been said that upon reaching certain purer states of consciousness, cannabis or anything else will be unheard of to help one attune because one will exist in constant greater perceptions already. I’d be remiss if I didn’t point that out in this writing, because despite the nature to which it’s used now, cannabis will simply be outdated in the higher dimensions.

The “Tools” are Mostly Within

It’s been said that certain ancient cultures who incorporated cannabis use into their spiritual ceremonies practiced meditation for hours before and after using it, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend any cannabis users out there to seek the higher dimensions within before automatically turning to anything to deliver your purer perceptions to you.

One of the reasons cannabis is so condemned in many spiritual circles is because it’s recognized that any purer state of consciousness we can find can be reached within, without having to use any perceived outside substance to help gain such perception.

Meditation alone can see you reach states of consciousness far purer than most anything else, and it heralds a more natural perception because it’s brought about solely from within, with no assistance.

However, some are of the belief that we’ve been given certain “tools” on this Earth to help us reach greater perceptions, and that it’d be silly not to utilize such tools in a healthy manner if they’re provided to us.

Distorted Cannabis Experiences & the “Spiritual Crutch”

In some people, I’ve seen the aforementioned tendency to lump cannabis in with one’s past and subsequently, with a lower aspect of oneself, and I see as well that some who condemn cannabis use will make occasional mentions of their past with harder drugs or alcohol (with some still claiming to drink now and again).

Remaining as neutral as possible, I could perhaps suggest that alcohol or hard drug use could’ve tainted the long-term cannabis experiences or opinions of some.

One’s short and long-term cannabis experience may have ended up heralding negative effects because of the vibration of those other, harder drugs and how they affected one. Their drug experiences in general, which cannabis is usually lumped in with, could’ve perhaps shaped their perception of it.

Of course, my intent isn’t to condemn after having mentioned the distortion of condemnation; simply to provide another viewpoint that’s sparsely been provided.

If we could separate cannabis from the “drug” category altogether, we could have real and unhindered discussions about its spiritual potential. As it stands currently, a lot of people still seem enticed with the idea of cannabis as a destructive drug and nothing more.

Returning to the idea that the vibration one’s on is more important than anything – even cannabis users with genuine intent could find themselves caught up in a “spiritual crutch”.

It’s for this reason as well that I encourage seeking the spiritual realms within far more than seeking them through anything else. I want for the spiritual cannabis users out there to know that they’re not condemned or judged here, but at the same time, it’s important to remain steadfast to one’s goal of reaching the higher dimensions within.

If one finds oneself caught up in needing cannabis or anything else to attune to the realms of spirit, than it’s time to clear one’s auric fields and seek the pure meditation of the Self above anything else. I’d recommend seclusion out in nature for such auric cleansing.

Is it so Hard to Believe?

Beyond this, is it so hard to believe that there are spiritual seekers out there using cannabis in a healthy/balanced manner and genuinely benefitting from it?

Again; I know that this issue is made much more controversial because of the fact that it’s illegal, but if there’s one thing the majority of awakened people know, it’s that a lot of bogus and controlling laws have been created to serve the cabals and oppress the people.

If you’re one who wishes or chooses to use cannabis for spiritual purposes, I’d only recommend doing so in the places it’s been legalized or nearly legalized. I can’t say that I agree with the laws against cannabis or hemp especially, but there’s no gain to be found in me giving advice to break the law in the name of spirituality and become another slave to the cabals’ private prison system.

Seek the more enlightened and allowing parts of our world if spiritual cannabis use resonates with you, and if it doesn’t, understand that there are so, so many other ways to seek the spiritual realms and find deeper states of consciousness. First and foremost, I’d recommend active and routine meditation.

If I can write a short note upon wrapping this up – you may notice that throughout this writing, there’s no employed stereotype regarding cannabis, even for the purpose of joking. There are no cheeky lines like “if I can be blunt about this…” and it’s not lumped-in or considered a “drug” as it is in the majority of spiritual writings or opinions concerning it.

This is because personally, if I haven’t already made this clear – I don’t consider cannabis to be another soul-oppressing “drug”, nor do I seek to feed stereotype about it in an article intended to break stereotype and expand upon a real spiritual discussion concerning it.

I’ve seen the tendency to bat-away the seriousness of this subject in some people who write about it, but this discussion is intended to be free of stereotype or sarcasm and allowing of real exploration and free thinking.

I’ve wanted to report from as neutral a point of view as possible, while at the same time, “responding” if you will to the bulk of condemnation against its therapeutic or spiritual use, with views that haven’t been expressed as much.

In wrapping this writing up, I’ll express my opinion that keeping an opened mind to the beliefs and ideals of others is important in the new paradigm we’re building. Undoubtedly, the viewpoints expressed here won’t resonate with plenty of people, but I must ask if I seem like a different or more distorted spiritual being because of them.

Do I seem to be feeding or playing into lower mechanisms because of my expressed views? Do I seem like less of a spiritual being because I believe in the potentially positive benefits of cannabis use, while recognizing the potential pitfalls?

Above all, seeking the realms of spirit is most important, in my opinion. With the concerted work and focus we’re putting into our ascension, in a short amount of time nothing will be used for attunement to the higher dimensions, because we’ll constantly enjoy the blissful vibrations that’ll be prevalent all around us.

In the meantime, humanity still has much to learn in the way of accepting and Loving one another despite our uniqueness in belief and ideology, but don’t worry – we’ll get there!

Wes Annac – Seeking to be as open-minded as possible, and steadfast in my goal to re-find the higher dimensions.

Newer Version: My Voice - A Song by Wes Annac

The following is a newer version of a song written by me, called My Voice.

As might go without saying, I'm not singing about myself in this song and rather, attempting to help raise awareness of the plight of those who can't speak up.

Lyrics:

 

Where is my voice

Why can't I speak

Where is my voice

Why can't I speak

 

I've been accused of poverty

And my rights, they do nothing for me

For all I've known is prejudice

Societal cleansing

And my future is about as bleak

As the block on which I'm standing

 

Where is my hope

For something real and fair for all, this I

This I don't know

When I see

All the hate around, passed down, passed down

It hurts

It burns deep

 

And I know the hate is fabricated

Separation instated, premeditated

But it seems so real

Being right, right in the middle

I can say when there is war

Where there should always be peace

The cause of it can stay behind the scenes

 

I see we've been fooled

But how can I motivate you

I've been labeled the fool

But you and I we carry the jewel

And I can show you the way

But you must trust in my intentions

You must trust in my intentions

 

You

You can give me a voice

Become aware

Before you make the choice

Of who to trust

They feed on ignorance

cannabis_spirituality.jpgWritten by Wes Annac

As a human being who knows about and experiences the same aspects of Life as everybody else, rather than as a channel, I’d like to give my opinion on the therapeutic use of a particular mind-altering substance to obtain a perceived state of greater spiritual clarity or understanding.

Perhaps this discussion could be seen as “controversial”, but in the new paradigm we’re building, I’d like for no aspects of our Earthly existence or our evolution go un-discussed.

Perhaps those who are uninterested in this topic, already have their minds made up about it or find their senses offended could skip this writing, but the debate concerning this topic has raged for a while and much division seems to have manifested as a result.

In writing this, I should be clear that my aim is simply to give my opinion and what I’ve learned in my few short years on the Earth regarding this subject.

No Experience with Psychedelics

Not having experience with psychedelics, I recognize that I couldn’t properly give an opinion of LSD, mushrooms, etc. because I’ve never tried them and have no desire to.

I can happily say that I’ve had very, very little experience with alcohol and don’t plan to ingest that, what I feel is poison, ever again (and that includes the occasional “glass of wine”, which I’m too young to legally drink anyway.) I have basically no experience with the likes of alcohol; none with any hard drug; and none with hallucination-inducing psychedelics.

This is a preferred lifestyle choice, because I’ve seen how alcohol can usurp the humanity out of someone and I personally feel that the more intense psychedelic drugs can serve to burn one out in the long run. But again, perhaps that opinion of psychedelics could be seen as biased because I never have and never will try them.

Beyond my preferred inexperience with alcohol, other hard drugs or strong psychedelics, I can give my viewpoint on cannabis; the softest substance but perhaps the most controversial in regards to spiritual use. Before launching into my viewpoint, I should point out that my discussion of this isn’t intended be taken as far as it potentially could be.

Inflated Sensationalism & Allowing Others’ Beliefs

This is why I mentioned above that my desire isn’t necessarily to exist in any certain camp of belief, and individuals who read this could perhaps take its implications too far or attempt to look at me differently because of it.

If I can give an example – I’ve long given my opinion on medicinal cannabis; reposted articles discussing its benefits for terminally ill patients and discussed it with others on spiritual forums. I’ve let you all know my particular stance on it more than once.

I can remember a quite-hateful individual on a certain spiritual forum boldly proclaiming to everyone that, I guess because of the stance on that particular issue I’ve taken, I was suddenly a hard drug user who used drugs to channel lower entities. The tendency was to treat me only as a channel, rather than a human being.

This is what I mean about taking things too far, as the individual was almost sensationalistic.

In my opinion, if the spiritual awakening we’re breeding sees one unable to express themselves or how they feel about any particular issue for fear of condemnation or flat-out inflated sensationalism about them, than we as an awakening humanity aren’t allowing for everyone’s voices to be heard.

Perhaps we need to allow the opinions or beliefs of others to exist, even if they’re not our own or we feel strongly against them. For example; if a reader wrote to me saying they wanted to use a harder psychedelic to reach a greater state of consciousness, I’d perhaps give my belief that it may not be as useful or helpful in the long run as good ol’ meditation.

However, ultimately I wouldn’t censor their comment or otherwise not allow their opinion to be expressed, nor would I think them less of a person. I may not agree with the idea expressed, but it’s honored nonetheless.

In my opinion, the entirety of the awakening humanity could benefit greatly from practicing allowance of the feelings or ideas of others, while recognizing that another’s beliefs don’t have to be our own.

We can find unity despite our differences in belief, and I personally feel that condemnation can give way to recognizing our uniqueness and celebrating each other for it. That being said, I’d like to give my opinion on the potential benefits and pitfalls of spiritual cannabis use.

Different Views of Cannabis

One of the reasons cannabis is such a controversial subject is because, for the most part, it’s an entirely different substance depending on who you talk to.

For some, cannabis is absolutely no different from heroin, meth or any of the destructive hard drugs.

Because of intense propaganda against cannabis, it’s been lumped in with cabal-created hard drugs and given the same condemnation as them. Ultimately, the condemnation against hard drugs is understandable, because they were created and are sold by the cabals with the intent to usurp the money and humanity out of those who use them.

Even some awakening souls see cannabis as no different from alcohol or any other hard drug. In the minds of some, they’re all just drugs designed to give a temporary high and then see one crash or burn out.

In some awakening souls, this idea has been taken further to suggest that cannabis users with spiritual intent are glimpsing illusory or mind-centered spiritual realms that only last for so long (in a plateau-like manner), and then see one exponentially burned out or unable to access the spiritual realms without their perceived crutch.

Some awakened souls have a basic familiarity with cannabis but, among growing into their spiritual beliefs, have allowed themselves to condemn it as just another facet of the lower-world they’ve since grown away from (essentially making it no better than alcohol). Some continue to drink alcohol now and again, while condemning cannabis use.

There are others who use cannabis and honestly feel that they’ve gained positive glimpses into purer states of consciousness because of it. So really, cannabis is different compared to who one would ask about it.

Prevalent Condemnation & the Importance of your Vibration

If I can be truthful, amongst the awakening public it does seem that condemnation of cannabis is much more prevalent than support. Others choose to remain understandably neutral or silent on this issue, not wanting to contribute to the fray or offer their “image” up to association with it.

When it comes down to it, it’s all about the vibration one sustains oneself on as well as one’s intention in using anything to reach a different state of consciousness, in my opinion.

If a cannabis user routinely eats unhealthy foods or practices unhealthy lifestyle choices, than it’s likely that they could experience some of the pitfalls of its use. However, if one chooses to keep one’s temple healthy and pure, they could potentially experience benefits.

If one uses cannabis because they want to depart sobriety and reach an elevated state of happiness with no spiritual intention in mind, than the “crutch” effect could be a strong potential for them. They may find themselves reliant on something that gives them a temporary expanded perception, and find their Lives seeming to lack without their crutch.

One’s perception and intent is very important, in my opinion. If one can reach a state of enjoying Life and never wishing to depart sobriety and clear-headedness for any reason, but chooses to use cannabis for meditative purposes in a balanced or healthy manner, than they could perhaps experience positive benefits.

Of course, the pitfall is still that one’s using something that’s been made illegal. One can perhaps take solace in the fact that it’s been made illegal largely so the cabals could take over selling it and benefit in areas of society that legalization of cannabis or hemp would see them losing money from, but that’s a whole different discussion for another day.

Spiritual Intent vs. No Spiritual Intent

For now, we’ll focus on the potential benefits and pitfalls of using cannabis for clearheaded, meditative purposes rather than looking for a crutch or a “high”.

Keeping in mind that the vibration one keeps oneself on is more than important to this issue, it’s my belief that pure, blessed or organic cannabis, if used with a clear purpose and intent, could indeed help one to reach a temporary greater state of consciousness. Please don’t shoot; I’m very aware that this isn’t the accepted belief for the most part.

Specifically, I believe it can help one attune to purer energies and perceptions, but it can’t keep one there or see one constantly existing in blissful vibrations without putting the work in.

(Continued in Part 2 tomorrow)

Here are a few links discussing this subject.

(1) – “Resurrection of the Higher Self” on Erowid, at:

http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_spirit6.shtml

(2)- “Smoking, Drugs and SaLuSa’s comment” at:

http://goldenageofgaia.com/2011/07/smoking-drugs-and-salusas-comment/

I have to reproduce this quote from Dorian in the above article (2), because it’s spot on.

“I personally feel there is a great difference in things that are done in a sacred manner and things done compulsively, as addictions. When something is done with reverence and care it has a different energy – an uplifting energy instead of the dragging down that seems apparent in addictions of all kinds.

According to what I’ve learned, plants and other things used in a sacred manner, in ceremony, etc., are kept apart and used only occasionally because they have great power, and great power is dangerous if not used carefully. Modern society seems to have lost the concept of the power inherent in things, in the land, plants, stones, etc. Everything has become a commodity. Everything is available 24/7/365. No limits are entertained for anything.”

Matthew Ward also put it quite perfectly in the (2) article.

“With thanks to all who wrote about the medicinal effects of marijuana, I see the error in my reply [in the January 11, 2010 message] to readers who asked if certain enjoyments, including ‘social drugs,’ could delay spiritual evolution or prevent physical ascension with Earth.

In my ‘Yes’ answer, I was thinking of heroin, cocaine and the assortment of synthetic drugs that cause adverse effects on body, mind and spirit. Marijuana does indeed offer medical benefits, and there are no damaging effects from its moderate use in a social setting. Legal consequences, yes, so I surely am not encouraging its use without medical prescription! I am simply stating that with the sensible use I mentioned, marijuana is not among the drugs that form a barrier between the consciousness and the soul and prevent the absorption of light.”

(3)- I can’t say I agree with some of what’s expressed by Reiki Doc here or the manner in which cannabis is lumped in as a drug, but nevertheless, here’s another article discussing this subject.

8108836252?profile=original-Channeled through Wes Annac-

The energies Creating and sustaining your realities are being continually boosted in purity, and we mention this process at the start of our communication to let you know that it has once again been expanded upon quite exponentially.

This has been brought about because of very important celestial events that have taken place recently, and we can say with joy that plenty more will come as you find yourselves assimilating energies that are ever-increasing in purity.

The continual increase in purity of the energies you’re absorbing in every moment means that you’re reaching elevated planes of consciousness and perceptual awareness. Your perspective in every moment will begin to reflect the continual purity increases being given, but of course, this is a process that comes about in increments.

This is why the purity of energies Creating and sustaining your realities hasn’t been boosted to match the realms of the fifth dimension all at once. Your bodies must adjust to the energies you’re being given as you collectively ascend, as we don’t wish to burn your temples out by having you absorb energies that are far purer than you’d yet be ready to absorb.

Your ascension has indeed been a gradual process, and very important shift points have and continue to occur that see a boosted collective awareness and metaphysical perception.

The Awakenings of Influential Individuals

While much of your collective is still rooted in the mindsets that feed the lower-dimensional experience, the Light being assimilated and given out from you dear awakening Lightworkers has leveled the playing field exponentially, and has seen events on your world tip more in favor of the Light.

Pay attention, dearest souls, to the emergence of various individuals who seem bent on helping the people and building your new paradigm. Such individuals are emerging everywhere, and it takes only willing eyes to see them to know that they’re here on your Earth and actively Creating positive change in every moment.

The Lightworkers and truth-bearers have incarnated onto the Earth and are in various different positions that they’ll ultimately use for the betterment of the planet.

Your ascension energies are being picked up on by an ever-increasing number of souls, and as has been said by others, souls in positions of influence all across your world will soon begin stepping up and speaking for truth and justice.

This is the way it’s always been meant to be, as your collective has been meant to awaken out of the illusion of separation and hatred but has largely looked toward certain individuals to feed their ideals of reality to them.

Of course, we encourage gaining personal spiritual independence and liberation rather than looking toward another for one’s ideas of reality, but at the same time, we and many others recognize that souls in positions of influence on your Earth are widely looked up to and, upon responding to your ascension energies themselves, can use the positions they’re in to help uplift and inform the planet.

Ideas that previously seemed outside of your collective ability to grasp or understand will be widely picked up and understood, and ideas that would previously garner ridicule will be opened up to. You’ll come to learn that many of the science-fiction related stories and ideas you’ve been given were based off of very real things, as you find that your history as a planet is much more extensive than you’ve been told.

The Difficulty of Acceptance

Yes, the collective could have an immensely difficult time coming to accept that there are millions of benevolent Galactic and Angelic beings stationed all around your planet and in the purer realms of consciousness, actively fixated upon your world and your society and specifically, the evolution you’re undergoing.

It could be very difficult indeed for the majority of people on your world to accept that benevolent Galactic beings not only exist, but are and have been stationed around your planet for millennia and have made contact with your various civilizations immensely throughout your history.

As difficult as it could be for these truths to be absorbed and understood, your entire collective is to be informed of everything that’s been kept hidden from you. Trust, dear souls, when we say that there will be much for you to absorb.

There will be so very much for you to learn as a collective; not just regarding your true history, but regarding spirituality and how a spiritual understanding of the reality around you exists and has been picked-up on all throughout your Earthly experience.

A plethora of souls have come to discover their personal inner-realms and have found their ascension as a result, and individual ascensions have occurred on your world for as long as She’s been a planet.

This is because every soul is meant to learn and grow back into their personal understanding of the physical and spiritual Source of all existence, and this rounds back to the importance of your collective being informed of everything that’s been hidden from you.

It’s important for your collective to learn of the suppressed aspects of your history, and there have been many, because such knowledge is crucial to your entrance into the higher dimensions.

Exposure of the Dark: a Natural Result of Awakening

Even the dear awakening Lightworkers, who’ve come to find and know quite a lot indeed, haven’t yet glimpsed some of the most startling truths regarding your cabals and the extent to which they’ve suppressed your history, and it’s important for the Lightworkers and for the entire Earth to know of such things before you’re to enter the higher dimensions.

You’d be unable to entire the higher dimensions without any bit of darker inclined energy being exposed and having Light shone on it, and it’s been discussed before that exposure of the dark is a natural result of an individual or collective’s entrance into steadily purer planes of Light.

The exposure of the cabals cannot be avoided, because it’s a natural aspect and result of your collective evolutionary process.

It’s imperative that your collective be opened up to absolutely everything that’s been hidden from you; even the revelations you may be more comfortable not hearing. The aspects of the cabals’ darker-inclined rituals and the acts they’ve perpetrated onto their youth may be the most difficult for many to absorb, as well as revelations regarding their involvement in the underground drug and sex trade.

Even as we discuss such things, we can feel the vibration in our scribe dip in association with them and what they represent.

This is exactly what we’re referring to – a potential difficulty on the part of even many awakening souls to be able to understand and accept some of the most shocking or darker-inclined truths regarding the cabals and what they’ve done on your world.

As difficult as they’ll be to absorb and as low of a vibration they could temporarily put one on, the collective is to be informed of such things as an integral aspect of your ascension. Despite the shocking revelations that’ll be encountered, it’ll be explained that there’s a much lighter, much greater spiritual side to your existence.

Healing the Collective Energies

The spiritual “secrets” that have been hidden from humanity concerning your infinite and infallible ability to Live a peaceful and unity-based collective existence will be discussed, and we anticipate the majority of your populace being quite excited about working together to build a world based in unity consciousness rather than separation or division.

Dear scribe, we can feel that the issue of divisive consciousness has been on your mind and heart a great deal lately, and this could likely be so for many others as well. You’re helping to mend and heal the energies prevalent in the collective consciousness, and much of the energy and emotion you’re being given to transmute is indeed coming from other places and people on your Earth.

When humanity comes to understand the energy at work sustaining your reality and the fact that your very spiritual essence is comprised of such energy, the oneness of your collective consciousness will be understood and the fact that you’re all interlinked and can feel each other’s energy and emotion will be understood as well.

Humanity will understand that you’re energetically linked together and can share and transmit energy, information and emotion back and forth. You do so quite routinely, and what many awakening Lightworkers are feeling in this very moment can be traced back to the energies prevalent in your collective.

The intervention of the Light has come about in the form of mass incarnations of a plethora of higher-dimensional souls, as well as an active monitoring of your planet on the part of the Company of Heaven.

A Steady Progression & Feelings of Revolution

Every one of you absorbing this communication who’ve awakened into a position of being able to help your collective answered the call to incarnate on the Earth and help bring about Her evolution in a time when Her physical surface was experiencing much pain and warfare on a massive level, and your presence on the surface of the Earth has heralded massively pure Light, the purest of which we couldn’t yet communicate to you.

If we could only communicate the large volumes of information and energy you’ll be able to absorb when your temples have expanded to certain heights, than you’d understand why your abilities have already grown to the extents they have.

Many of you can perhaps look back upon your experience up to this point and see a solid and steady progression perception and clarity-wise, from where you once were to where you’re currently at along your growth.

You’re reaching new strides as your collective responds to the recent celestial happenings helping your planet enter into ever-purer Light planes, and we’ll continue to assist when and where we can as we work from our position to help your collective and you awakening Lightworkers to assimilate the energies you’re being given properly.

We wish now to address the revolutionary feelings being incited in a plethora of awakening souls who are responding to the energies you’re being given. Many of you are being led to throw as much of yourselves as possible into the spiritual and physical liberation of humanity, and you’re being called upon to increase and expand your efforts.

We know that the overwhelming majority of you who feel a greater desire to step up your personal efforts will respond to this call well, and will help the collective exponentially in the works you produce from here on out.

The awakening Lightworker public has so very much work to do, and while some of you are contributing directly to humanity’s evolution by placing yourselves at the forefront of the public’s attention, there are many more who are holding the energetic space and performing their own forms of potent and needed Lightwork.

These individuals stay out of the forefront of the collective perception much of the time, and will make rare appearances on Lightworker-oriented blog sites or discussion forums.

Rather than making themselves known or boldly proclaiming their presence, these individuals are performing energetic transmutations and pouring Lighted energies through to the surface of the Earth.

Advanced and Free-Flowing Travel

There are many active Lightworkers who aren’t known of by the awakening public, but you’ll all be brought together in the time ahead as the lightened energies see you able to connect and convene with each other in much more direct ways than you do currently.

Humanity’s current methods of transportation can be seen as outdated compared to the advanced travel ability you’re to enjoy in the time ahead, as much advanced technology awaits humanity’s use which will make many avenues of your current existence much easier and more free-flowing.

Every soul deserves to travel around your world and experience the most beautiful places She has to offer, but this right has been denied you as your travel has been restricted to commercial airplanes, cars and trains for the majority of people.

Technology that can see you transport yourselves to different locations instantaneously has been suppressed for reasons your cabals would have you believe are related to national security, and these technologies will be widely disclosed and understood by all as your collective uproots the forces of corruption and tyranny from your world and uncovers what they’ve hidden from you.

There are so many groups and individuals working behind the scenes on your world and in the higher dimensions on the restoration of your planet and on everything that’s to come with it. However, we, being great in number as we are, still cannot do all of this work ourselves.

Importance of the Collective Will

We seek the active assistance of each of you in the ways you feel you best can, as the cabals must be exposed and uprooted by the will of the people.

The will of the majority of your collective must be for exposure of the actions of the cabals to come about, but many souls on your world are still unaware of their existence; choosing not to believe in it or labeling it as simple conspiracy theory.

With an ever-increasing number of awakening souls and developing Lightworkers (being activated), the criteria needed for exposure of the cabals to come about will be and is growing to be met in every moment. Nearly every day, new exposures regarding the inner-workings of the cabals are coming forth.

News stories expressing the crimes that have been wrought onto the general public are coming forth in every moment, and the signs of change continue to be shown as humanity inches ever closer to the aforementioned criteria.

Your collective growth cannot and will not be stalled, and the progress you make as individuals determines the progress that will be made by your collective. You have much more of an ability to help your collective reach purer states of consciousness and perception than you yet realize, and we ask you with Love to hone this ability and to embrace the higher realms as you do so.

We continue to encourage expansion of your personal roles, and as we make our final impressions for this communication, we say that the inspiration and brimming motivation being found in the awakening public in this, a very important time along your collective growth, will continue to pick up.

You’ll continue to be inspired by the realms of pure consciousness to help your collective see the Light and find their evolution, and the resulting purer perception you’ll feel will go much deeper than what you’ve yet known or understood.

Your deepening metaphysical perception will herald an increased understanding of the realms of spirit and of the need to begin acting in alignment with one’s own Divine will in every moment, and ultimately, your growth and learning will continue throughout various planes of consciousness and echelons of existence.

For now, we encourage you to enjoy the vibration you’re on as you make your personal efforts to purify or expand it.

The energetic space you’re holding emits a frequency based upon the emotion you choose to express in every moment, and while the sadness or anger that can come with surfacing or lesson-learning is understood and necessary, to feed into distorted emotion in this new era is to hold oneself and the world around one back immensely.

We Love you from the deepest depths of our hearts, and we bid you adieu with the joy of a thousand souls.

Thank you to the Hathors of Earth’s Solar Astral Planes.

The following is a song written by me, called Soul Purpose (or, No Need to Wait)

 

Lyrics:

 

The old man says are we there yet

I've been waiting for so long

Diligently serving humanity all my Life

Tell me kids, where is my song?

The young kid says hang in there mister

Our work has just begun

We have so much to do, so much to feel in this age

There's no need, no need to wait

 

For so much truth awaits your understanding

It's up to us to spread the awakening

Only you can liberate yourself

But all those long lost souls, you can help

It's your soul purpose

 

The young kids cry, where is our home?

It sure isn't this battered world we Live on

Service is our only aim

In being here amongst your turmoil and all your hate

Your collective it has remained broken

You're kept separated, fighting each other every day

This my friends is why we are here

We'll help impart the teachings of Source in every way

 

For you deserve to know the truth, oh how they've hidden it

Humanity will overcome the hatred we've experienced

When Light is shone onto the darkness, everybody wins

I say, you can be a part of this

It's your soul purpose

 

We've made our mistakes

Living under the stresses

We had to learn

What we didn't know

What we found we grew from

And now we seek to help you

Help you know that this is all real too

 

So march everyone onto the forces of corruption

They have towered over us for far too long

Liberation comes in the form of the collective

Proclaiming to our oppressors that we are strong

And we won't quit

 

For we deserve to know the truth and we'll uncover it

Humanity will overcome our hatred

When we can find Love we'll express it to everyone

United spirits singing our heart's song

 

Sing it in joy

Astral Travels: Blessing Divisive Consciousness

 

Photo: Duality by Dark Angel on DeviantArt


The following was written for the ongoing “astral travels” section of The Aquarius Paradigm Weekly Newsletter.

You may notice that our respective exercises for the past few weeks have been related or have correlated with each other in one way or another. This is because there are a few prevalent emotions, mindsets and ways of Living that drive the hatred and separation humanity has experienced and fed into for a very long time.

I recognize that the opportunity to use visualization for etheric travel presents a wide range of potentials and opportunities. I recognize that I could have us visualize and inhabit ascended landscapes that will boggle our minds and open our hearts immensely, for the sake of our own benefit.

However, the empathic Lightworker in me sees the need to address the core issues holding humanity back, as well as the, what could be seen as lesser issues driven from them. I see the need for us to address not only the energies prevalent in the collective consciousness, but what humanity’s doing in every moment to feed into those energies and keep them going.

Following suit with this desire, we’re going to bless representations of divisive consciousness being fed this week as we further work toward helping establish unity and harmony amongst all. Last week, we blessed a representation of warfare and as goes without saying, war is an extension of hatred, which is an extension of divisive consciousness.

Divisive consciousness can go by plenty of different labels. Some call it instated separation; some call it division of classes, races, genders, countries and sexual orientation; some call it the basic ideal that we’re different from one another for any and every reason that can be found.

No matter the manners in which it can be labeled or justified, divisive consciousness is just that. Divisive consciousness teaches us to put up walls around aspects of ourselves that could otherwise be very warm, caring and unifying, if we’re addressing a certain individual or group we perceive ourselves as separate from or against.

In doing so, we further enhance the strength of those walls within us. It’s important for us to remember that what we Create or feed into as individuals is magnified in the collective consciousness and potential, and if we choose to instate or feed divisive consciousness, we’re only further enforcing many of the heart-wrenching things that have resulted.

War, be it religious, political, fought over a ground filled with oil or a desire to dominate the people, has always been an extension and a result of divisive consciousness.

Most of us would never seek to hurt ourselves, and yet, for centuries we’ve had little problem fighting wars and hurting others. Despite this, the warlike mentality will fade when we realize that we’re One consciousness experiencing various individualized facets of itself.

The basic idea that we’re different from one another feeds the “every man for himself” mindset, which sees far too many people trying to “get ahead” even if it means keeping others down.

Plenty of the people who are “ahead” have gotten there by purposefully dominating and enslaving the people, and their desire to do so has been brought about because of the belief that they’re “better” than the people, which stems from divisive consciousness. The examples could continue on and on.

To begin our exercise, we’re going to visualize a person typing away at a computer in a typical home setting. Visualize and Create specific features about this individual; features I’ll leave up to your interpretation.

Is this person a man or a woman? What color is their hair? Are they wearing summer or winter-oriented clothes? What does the house setting look like?

Having visualized and received impressions of my own Creation, I’m going to leave the specifics of these features up to you. Take a few moments and really feel this place; feel the individual you’re visualizing typing and clicking away at their computer. Enhance your visualization by Creating and noticing specific features, and get the clearest possible glimpse of this setting.

Notice that the vibration of the person is slightly dipped, and they almost seem upset. At the very least, they’re excited and their heart is racing as they type and click away. They seem very assured of themselves and what they’re doing, and with each bit of information they type out, they gain excitement and their heart races a little more.

Visualize and “learn” that this individual is typing out posts on an alternative news forum. This person is making multiple, continual posts and replies on the forum and, specifically, is arguing with another over a philosophy the other expressed their support for.

There can be plenty of reasons this person chooses to fight with another over the issue at hand, but for one reason or another, they’re choosing to “give it their all” and duke it out with the other person. The other person replies in a less rigid or edgy manner, and continues to respond to the individuals’ almost-angry posts and retaliations, with his beliefs and why he feels they’re correct.

The other person doesn’t cease responding, which amps our individual up to continue arguing their stance. Being able to “prove themselves” or stand up for their point of view in a way that makes the other’s seem as un-credible as possible, makes their heart race more and more.

They get an intense feeling in their gut and in the pit of their stomach when they read the other person’s reply and aptly respond with detractions and allegations, and their argument-method is less one of expressing their stance in a detached manner and more one of using vitriol to “smear” the other person and the idea being expressed.

Eventually, the other person ceases attempting to express their viewpoint to the wall of disbelief and detraction aimed at them, and the individual feels as if they’ve gained another victory in the game of arguing. Not being ready to lay down their argumentative side, they seek out other individuals, groups or viewpoints to argue against or detract.

Ultimately, negativity and vitriol is spread across the internet, and another day of divisive consciousness remaining prevalent goes by.

I’d now like for you to visualize a high school classroom filled with students, with a teacher sitting at her desk at the front of the room. Visualize and feel the teacher and the vibration she’s on. Specifically, feel that she’s drained and seems to have given up a positive viewpoint of teenagers and of the world around her in general.

She doesn’t really enjoy her job, but was granted tenure two years ago and doesn’t plan to go anywhere, having her career and her finances more or less secured.

Her only aim is to get through the day, as she hopes that one of the “punk teenagers” in her classroom doesn’t give her any trouble. Her viewpoint of most of her students is quite judgmental and compartmentalized, but she doesn’t dislike all of them.

The ones who “dress nice” (look a certain way), “don’t give any trouble” and “get good grades” gain her good grace. However, students she considers to be punks are judged solely by their appearance and the first impression they make on her, and if they don’t fit into a certain standard than she labels and judges them as failures on the backs of society.

Her judgment has partially come about from dealing with students who purposely fit themselves into the “punk” role. Students who disrupt and seem bent on keeping the entire class’ attention on them or who’ve acted and talked rudely and inappropriately toward her in the past, have crafted her perception of any long haired or otherwise untoward-seeming teenager.

She employs stereotype rapidly and without a second thought, and has been quick to judge and condemn students who otherwise possess great potential to make something of themselves and, most importantly, help the planet. Because of the appearance of certain students who choose not to fit in to the societal standard that’s been set, they’ve dealt with the wrath of her condemnation and prejudice and have felt judgment toward them rolling off of her.

The students know she’s become hardened and judgmental, but they’re largely too divided themselves to understand the greater implications or consequences of feeding stereotype and division.

Now, visualize our teacher reprimanding a long-haired student for speaking out of turn.

The student was mentioning during a history lesson related to native Americans (apologies to anyone who was visualizing a school in another country) that the natives only grew to feed into savage warfare against the white man because they were lead to it from having their homes destroyed and their people killed, rather than being simple savages who knew no better.

(Interestingly enough, this issue also traces back to divisive consciousness.)

The student goes on to attempt to condemn the history lesson for failing to teach both sides of the story, and because of his appearance and because she thinks he’s just “mouthing off” the teacher is quick to loudly reprimand him. Having been reprimanded for trying to speak up and spread the truth for the third time that week, the student gets upset and begins arguing about the extent to which history as it’s taught in public schools is suppressed and controlled.

He argues as well that the teacher is prejudice, and won’t stop to hear what he has to say because of his appearance. The teacher refuses to hear what he has to say and ultimately, he’s sent to the office and suspended for his “ill behavior”. His friends wonder why he couldn’t leave the issue alone and also think he was just mouthing off.

Divisive consciousness is fed in the form of the teacher’s judgment and condemnation, and a genuine voice for truth is censored in a classroom because that voice didn’t come from a cleanly cut “proper” teenager.

Now, hold our two visualizations in your mind’s eye as we prepare to give our blessings to these unfortunate situations.

Remember specific elements about our two scenes – our individual’s drive to argue their stance on the internet and detract others’; the thumping of their heart as they posted away; our teacher’s lackluster with Life and her hope that the “untoward” students don’t give her any trouble; her condemnation and judgment of any kid who looked different from what she preferred; and her censoring of our young student’s truth.

As we get ready to give our blessings, it’s important to refrain from judgment ourselves for the vibration our two representations are on.

We’re all playing a crucial part in the evolution of humanity. For all we know, our excited “poster” could’ve went on to help the person he was fighting to hone their expression of their beliefs, and our teacher could’ve helped our student further understand how far away from the truth our planet can be.

Let’s give our blessings from a detached and Loving standpoint, because in doing so, we’ll strengthen them exponentially.

As you keep the visions of our two scenes and people in your mind’s eye, visualize that the purest of Christed Light pour into both of them. To give you a visual “idea”, I’d say to picture the two scenes side by side in a large and otherwise black space, and visualize your pure Light being funneled through to them and washing and cleansing them.

Feel the strongest of empathy and understanding for the situations of each person we’ve visualized.

Feel and express Love to our excited arguer; the person he was arguing with; the teacher and the student alike. Affirm that they all be washed with the purest blessing energy you can muster up, and thank Source for their existence and for the opportunity we’ve been given to bless them.

While being representations, they truly deserve the blessing energies you can muster up and you may notice that, for the most part, I’ve left your visualizing of your sacred blessing energy up to you.

We’re reaching a time when our visualization abilities are picking up, and you’re asked to visualize your pure blessings coming up from within and being funneled on through to our scenes and representations.

Sit with and enjoy this moment, knowing that you’ve helped bless divisive consciousness in some of the manners it’s come about. We could’ve blessed plenty more divisive representations and perhaps will in future weeks, but for now, we can rest our etheric abilities knowing that we’ve done our job as Lightworkers.

Or, if you wish, you can stay and perform an unlimited amount of needed and important lessons. As always, the choice is yours in the realms of infinitely pure consciousness and ability.

This concludes this week’s astral travels.

wes_sunsky.jpg-Channeled through Wes Annac-

The energies fed by the collective are lightening as much as the energies you’re being given from the higher dimensions, as you each learn to refine your vibrations and find yourselves and your experiences lightening as well.

You have so much wonder and amazement to experience still as you ascend into truly blissful and pure states of consciousness, and the meditative vibrations you’ll access upon feeling the effects of the latest important alignments your collective has passed through will unlock new realms of perception and understanding in you.

Indeed, your aim as Godsparks of Source has always been discover and expose newer realms and frames of perceptual consciousness, and this is what you’re doing now as you ascend into such greater perceptions.

Your physical ascension process is being driven by and in the realms of spirit, and beyond your physical bodies, each of you maintain multiple, active roots in various higher realms and with various Federations and organizations. The work you’re doing for the Universal ascension goes far, far beyond the ascension of the Earth’s collective, though we note, as many others have, that your Earth’s ascension will be most instrumental to that of the Universe.

What you experience and feed into on the Earth drives the experiences had on entire planets far away from the Earth or from your perception, as this is your supreme power as a Creator.

Perceiving of the Reality that Resonates with you

It’s beginning to be discovered and has been various times on your planet that you’re the conscious Creators of your experiences. Those who believe themselves to be products of the Creation of an outward entity whom they must gain the good grace of by following a certain strict set of guidelines and dogma, will come to understand the distorted nature of such ideals.

Religious souls could certainly have a hard time coming to terms with our existence and our presence, and the general fear and mistrust that could be bred in your collective surrounding our existence is a big reason we’ve remained in your skies and stationed near your planet.

We’ve remained near you as your collective consciousness lightens, and as has been said by others, your collective vibration must resonate at a purer frequency than it currently does before our presence can be allotted.

This is because of the nature of our dimensional consciousness, and because you’re meant to perceive of aspects of reality that resonate with the specific frame and mode of consciousness you exist under, collectively and individually.

While plenty of awakening Lightworkers would love to see our presence and widespread disclosures regarding such presence come about on your world, the majority of the collective of Earth still ignores or, underneath their surface, fears our presence.

With such fearful vibrations present, which have indeed been purposely manifested and fed, your collective vibrations are not yet allowing enough for our presence.

If we could only properly communicate the importance of your perceptual consciousness matching the realms we exist in and the higher-dimensional forms we take, than you’d understand why you’re unable to perceive of us from a third or fourth-dimensional point of view.

Worry not, dear souls for as we’ve mentioned, your collective is indeed entering purer and purer planes of consciousness in every moment.

Bypassing “Fancy Words”

Many souls are being worked with in the realms beyond their conscious understanding to be more allowing of topics or ideals that they’d previously scoff at or, at the very least, not resonate with, and this is being done in accordance with the incarnation and activation of millions of Lightworkers on the surface of your dear Earth.

So many Lightworkers from so many different organizations and Federations have incarnated on the surface of your planet, and the purer vibration of each of you affects your collective in every moment.

Things have been said by channeled sources, such as the fact that your Light emanates out to every facet of consciousness around you in every moment, that don’t tend to be explained in a scientific or intellectual sense and thus, could otherwise be seen as simple fancy words or glittered impressions.

When we refer to the presence of each of you heralding massive Light in your collective consciousness, we speak of a very real effect that we would show you if we could.

Dear scribe, the image we’re sending you is that of Light flooding out from a single individual, like water from a hose, and seeping into the consciousness and perception of every soul around them.

Imagine your field of Light extending our miles and miles beyond your physical body, in every direction. Imagine Light pouring and flowing out from within you in every moment, and this Light being picked up on and radiated by everybody within your multi-mile radius.

This is the reality of your presence on the Earth and the effect it’s having, and we don’t say this to paint our communication with fancy words or express something intended to boost any ego-driven perceptions of yourselves as Lightworkers.

Encouraging Lightworkers

Much of what’s said by us in the higher realms could be seen as leaning toward favoring Lightworkers or complimenting you in undue ways, but in our view, complimenting you is a necessary aspect of giving our messages and of supporting the work you Lightworkers are doing.

All around your Earth, confidence can be put down and discouragement can rein. This isn’t the model for the new paradigm of cooperation and unity you’re all working toward, and in such a paradigm, encouragement will be encouraged.

This is because you have much more to offer the Earth’s ascension than you yet know, and even those of you performing multiple duties for the Earth’s ascension in every moment are being called to activate your greater potential.

We want you dear Lightworkers to know of the good you’re doing and the massive effects your very presence on the Earth is heralding. We want to encourage you to be the best you can be in every moment, and to shine your Light if Earthly circumstances could otherwise prevent it.

We ask for you to encourage yourselves and to treat yourselves as the Divine Godsparks you truly are, because plenty of people on your Earth will choose not to see you or themselves in such a light.

Discouragement will give way to unity consciousness and encouragement in the new paradigm you’re entering and building, and these elements of the new paradigm aren’t to be brought about or enforced by us in any way.

Rather, your collective will awaken to the necessity of unity consciousness and encouragement as you embrace continually-pure states of consciousness that you’ll come to be collectively aware of, and the infinite projects you’ll start bent on cleansing the Earth and lightening the vibration of your collective will see you able to enter the fifth dimension marvelously and with Loving ferocity.

You’re being guided in every moment by us and so many others, and because of the work you’ve performed on the surface and in the realms beyond your conscious understanding, our presence will come to be accepted by your collective in a much more rapid timeframe than it could otherwise be.

The Rapid Nature of Earth’s Ascension

This is due to your efforts on the ground and to the fact that Earth’s ascension has always been a very rapid one, and progress that could otherwise take centuries of your time can be made in relatively small increments of time because of the rapidity of your collective ascension.

Such rapidity is allowing you to reach a purer state of consciousness and understanding in much smaller frames of time, and it’s because of this as well that we continually encourage your blossoming-forth.

Waves of bliss will be able to be felt and enjoyed in the minds and hearts of each of you as you open yourselves up to the blissfully pure state of consciousness we’re delighted to speak to you from, and you’ll find yourselves uninhibited in the amount and purity of energy you can bring through yourselves and funnel through for various uses.

We note the eagerness in many of you to see the most widespread changes come about and to throw yourselves into the building of your new Earth, and while there’s indeed so very much to do, we express that those of you at the forefront of perceiving the higher dimensions and ascending have largely made it to the pure states of consciousness you’ve made your ways to the Earth from.

 

We say this because your perception of the higher dimensions underneath your surface is growing, and at your surface many of you are feeling the increased cognition and the purer perception that results.

You’re gaining great insights into the higher dimensions as you take in and absorb continually-pure frequencies of Light, and the veils and barriers that have previously kept you away from our realms are dissolving more than ever.

What is fed or allotted into your vibration will, in many cases, determine the settings you find around you. Where you feed or keep your vibration or consciousness, you’ll continue to experience elements related to such places in your personal Lives.

Leaving a Fragment of one’s Consciousness

Soldiers who suffer with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and flashbacks are experiencing aspects of their consciousness and perception that have been left in the places they experienced their trauma in.

These souls have left a fragment of themselves and their consciousness in such places because of the extremely-disconcerting nature of what they experienced, and they experience what every person on your Earth does in much more intense and bold ways because of the nature to which they’ve been scarred.

While soldiers who suffer from such things and who’ll be give higher-dimensional assistance and aid when they’re ready experience a much more turned-up version of what we speak of, each of you will notice and experience recurring themes in your Lives related to previous places, people or things that you previously held close to you or that were previously big parts of your Lives in one way or another.

Your vibration remains where you were, long after you’ve left any place. The fact that you’re energy-beings of transparent spirit and consciousness means that you can be in far more places at once than you’d expect, and the consciousness that is You isn’t limited to a physical body.

The being of consciousness that is You is transparent and is, at its most basic form, energy that’s exchanged and felt everywhere you go and with everyone you meet. You leave your vibrational output on everything you experience and every person you encounter, and likewise, the vibration of the people you’ve had exchanges with and the places you’ve been remain with you for a long time.

Ponder the fact that an active part of you exists everywhere you’ve been and within every person you’ve encountered. It’s truly mind-boggling, is it not?

You’ll come to learn about this and so many other startling truths as your collective braces the pure states of intellectual understanding and perceptive consciousness we continue to mention.

Deciding to Incarnate on the Earth

From the higher dimensions, you could quite easily fathom the metaphysical wonders we discuss and are ourselves able to perceive in every moment.

You were able to exist in and enjoy the wonderful ascended landscapes that await your perception of them in this time, and you were able to enjoy yourselves and your experiences as you helped various civilizations and collectives to evolve.

There was a facet of existence, however, that you hadn’t yet glimpsed.

There was a realm so challenging, so testing and in need of assistance and uplifting, that many of you simply couldn’t ignore the call. You’re spiritual explorers by nature, and the vast majority of you have come to the Earth as a result of your desire to seek, expose, understand and know every facet of the harmonious Creation around you.

This desire influenced your incarnation onto a lower-dimensional planet far away from the harmony and unity prevalent all around in the realms you existed in, but nevertheless, you were eager to find and rediscover the higher dimensions from such a planet.

You knew that your perception of the realms of spirit from the lower-dimensional Earth would help uplift the collective enormously, and you knew that you’d enjoy the experiences you had immensely as you came to find enlightenment and came to enjoy your Earthly experiences.

It was known by many of you that the struggles would be nearly endless and more difficult than could be perceived from the higher dimensions, but you knew that a silver lining was present; a grand Light at the end of the long, dark Earthly tunnel, so to speak.

You knew that truly glorious metaphysical perceptions awaited your grasp of them from the realms of the Earth, and you knew that if you incarnated onto the Earth you’d be given a very special and specific assignment of helping awaken the Earthly populace with the energies your presence and your individual awakenings would herald.

Helping Lighten the Collective Energies

You knew that you’d be able to do so very much for the public, and that you’d be able to help anchor the energies of the higher dimensions in very grand ways. You have indeed been able to accomplish this goal, and have expanded upon bringing our energies through by bringing many of us from the higher dimensions through quite directly to speak with you and offer the energies we speak of.

As many of you likely know by this point and as has likely been said by others, the communications we give and those given by the Company of Heaven overall are given as an aspect of the effort to increase the purity of energies being funneled through the collective consciousness.

As we speak with you and offer our energies, energetic alchemists in our collective are funneling enormous amounts of continually pure Light through to the minds and hearts of each of you, and this energy also spreads out to the collective consciousness as a whole.

We’re helping you to assimilate massive quantities of pure Light energy with each word you read and each bit of our energies you absorb, and underneath your surface and at your surface for many of you, you’re already very skilled energetic assimilators and alchemists yourselves.

The awakening Lightworker collective has been practicing mass transmutation of the bulk of the collective dense and negative energy for quite some time. This process has been ongoing since before your year 2010 but, like many things relevant to your ascension processes, hit a major stride-point on the 21st of December 2012.

Since your entrance into 2013, the Lightworker collective has taken on much greater amounts of the collective negative and dense energy being passed around and fed, and have worked much more fruitfully than ever before on transmuting such energy.

In doing so, you dear Lightworkers have honed your transmutation skills and will be able to use them in the time ahead for the mitigation and overall cleansing of the pollution prevalent in your skies, water, air and on your ground.

Cleansing Pollution with Transparent Logos Energy

You’ll be able to use energetic transmutation to mitigate and cleanse the bulk effects from the pollution that’s been manifested and fed for so long, and the Pleiadians and Sirians especially take to stationing themselves in your skies already to perform what, to your collective, would seem to be very advanced and intricate healing and cleansing jobs.

As has been disclosed by others, formulas are indeed downloaded into Gaia’s atmosphere and along with this, pure energy from the hearts of those aboard the ships (giving the formulas) are added and mixed in with the energy given out in your skies, much of which is unseen.

This energy is transmutation-based in nature and serves to cleanse pollution to the extent allotted by the souls who manifest the energy and feed it through their sentient technology.

Because of your collective freewill measures which see you naturally experience at least a portion of what you manifest for yourselves, the Pleiadians and Sirians as well as we, who do occasionally take to assisting in the cleansing effort, can only cleanse so much pollution and see the results of humanity’s actions go un-experienced.

Again, this is because of your freewill measures and because we seek not to solely cleanse your Earth without the assistance of the awakening humanity.

We ask each of you to send your Lighted energies and intents toward the cleansing of your skies, especially when seeing chemtrails or other forms of pollution that are being mitigated and in some cases, cleansed altogether.

Chemtrails specifically are still being sprayed in many places on your world, and this is in part because your collective is intended to garner awareness of what’s being sprayed as your cabals step up their efforts to spray your skies in increasingly bold ways.

They’ve taken a great many measures to pollute your skies with chemtrails and chemical skies, and to an awakening soul who wouldn’t understand the presence of the Pleiadians, Sirians and the rest of us around your planet or the mitigation efforts we help perform which aren’t directly noticeable in the physical, this could seem to be a desperate or fear-inducing situation.

However, beyond the pollution we allow to be manifested because we seek not to “do the work” for you, we are indeed cleansing the bulk of what would otherwise come about because of chemtrails.

Collective Freewill Stops Disaster

Chemtrails will continue to make individuals sick who are kept situated on a certain vibrational frequency, but the wide-reaching effects from chemtrails expected by the cabals won’t come about because they violate humanity’s freewill contract and what your collective is known to want to experience in any given moment.

Some could look down upon your freewill measures for seeming to stop a complete intervention on our part, but we should point out that your collective will has aided you tremendously. The cabals have wanted to create disastrous events and scenarios that simply cannot be brought about, because the expectations and wishes of your collective consciousness don’t allow for them.

Very few individuals on your world want nuclear war, and the thoughts and feelings of the vast majority of your collective are against it. As a result, you naturally receive what you manifest for yourselves, and the potential for nuclear war is of a much smaller percentage than you’d expect. (1)

As we make our final impressions for this communication, we express that your individual and planetary vibrations will continue to lighten until our presence and that of every other ascended collective is able to be disclosed and understood on your world.

 

Continue to help lighten the planetary vibration in any moment you feel you can, because the vibration you give out will strongly determine where your collective is at along your process in every moment.

Thank you to Saan and the Arcturian Councils.

Astral Travels: Blessing War


 

th?id=H.4562480453913041&pid=1.7The following was written by Wes Annac for the ongoing “astral travels” section of The Aquarius Paradigm Weekly Newsletter.

“Until the philosophy which hold(s) one race superior and another inferior, is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war.” – Bob Marley (“War”, a song inspired by a speech given by Haile Selassie.)  

This week, we’re going to bless warfare and in doing so, expand upon our previous blessing of the hatred and separation that’s brought war about for centuries on this planet. It’s uncustomary for us to war against each other, and we’re a strong collective that can thrive if we work together.

We’ve been taught for far too long that war is necessary to obtain peace, which is a complete contradiction. As we’re awakening and have been for decades, the people are seeing the necessity to end war and proclaim our sovereignty from it and the hatred and separation that drives it.

While I personally feel our astral exercises and blessings to be important, it’s equally important for us to take action in the physical to proclaim our collective readiness to exit the warlike mentality that’s kept us in states of mental and spiritual bondage.

It’s been said that the cabals have purposely manifested various wars in an act to feed mass sacrifices of those who they perceive to be the lower class, and because they profit from war no matter which country it’s in.

The cabals have gained spiritually and financially from war, as the gruesome vibrations they’ve been able to keep manifested has kept the collective in the aforementioned states of bondage. We’re now learning to cultivate peace and awareness of the horrors of war, and in my opinion, an important part of doing so will be for us to use our ordained abilities to bless war and the hatred that’s brought it about.

We’ve performed previous blessings of hatred and divisiveness, and again, our exercise this week is partially intended to expand upon those blessings.

To begin for this week, I’d like for you to visualize a serene desert landscape, brimming with color and vibrant spiritual energy. The trees and flowers are exuberant and overflowing with rich and intense color, and there are natural springs all around this landscape beckoning anyone who wishes to take a blissful dip forth.

There are countless people and animals existing in this landscape with us, and the energies being passed around are those of unity and harmony.

Every person, animal and plant exists in this beautiful landscape with no divisiveness or hatred experienced, and the environment reflects the harmonious vibrations emanating off of every facet of consciousness here. Create specific things about this landscape to notice and enjoy, as we have so many times in the past.

Perhaps walk/float over to one of the people or animals, and begin to have a conversation. Notice that the conversation is purely telepathic, and you can communicate intricate psychic impressions to one another that you’ll both pick up on with ease.

Feel that you can have an entire week’s worth of conversation with any one of these souls in what seems to be a moment, as your telepathy is instant and can communicate much larger volumes of information in much realer and more intense ways than our Earthly language can.

You can have wonderful and long conversations with every person, animal and plant in this landscape.

As you go about your chatting and enjoy the specific things about this place you’ve Created, notice as most of the people and animals begin gathering around what looks to be a stargate or portal. Visualize as a scene of sorts seems to display itself, while the group beckons us forth to see it.

This is similar to the scenes we’ve had displayed during previous exercises, and rather than venturing through the stargate or watching another soul venture through, we’re going to view what forms in it: the landscape of a land eerily similar to the one we’re visualizing.

The difference between the landscape we’re visualizing and the one we’re viewing through the stargate is that the level of hatred and resulting turmoil is turned up exponentially in the latter. The impression I’m receiving is that the area we’re viewing is the 3D Earth “version” of the ascended and harmonious land we’re visualizing.

The area we’re viewing through the stargate experiences massive turmoil and war every day, and the citizens of this land who aren’t directly a part of the war efforts have to worry about bombs going off in the night (and during the day) or other devastating warlike actions taking place.

The overwhelming majority of people in this land who don’t have enough political freedom to voice their fear and concern, wish and pray for the warfare to stop and for peace to settle unto them and their land. Even many of those who participate in the warfare have to stuff their feelings down deep within, and commit atrocities that at their very core, they don’t agree with.

The vibrations of the land seem temporarily devastated.

The Earth cries out for salvation from the continual warfare being fed, and we, from the harmonious realms of the landscape we’re viewing, will answer Her cry and offer our blessings. Continue to view the landscape in the stargate for a moment, and if you wish, perhaps visualize peace settling onto that land before we offer our blessing.

Any good we can do with our visualization abilities might as well be done as we go about our exercises, and the great thing about our blessing this week is that we’re going to perform it with every person, animal and plant who exists with us in this harmonious landscape we’re viewing our war-torn land from.

As you ready yourselves to bless the scene we’re being shown, notice that the large group around us is harnessing their collective energy already.

What does this energy look like? It can take any form or structure that’s best relatable for each of us, and personally, I saw a blue misty type of energy that was sparkling and flowing forth from the hearts of each facet of consciousness around us.

The people, the animals and the dear plants alike have all joined together to offer this harmonious and pure blessing energy. Even the sky, the clouds and the sun are taking part in this incredible gifting of Light, and you’re asked to add your personal blessings to the mix now.

Feel and affirm that the pure Creator Light of your Being come up from within and flow outwardly, in abundance. Visualize, affirm and feel your personal Light arising, and if you’d like, perhaps reconnect with your infinite reservoir of pure Christed Love energy, which we each hold within.

When connecting with that infinite and infallible source of Love energy inside of you, you can offer the purest and most brimming of blessings for the struggling landscape we’re viewing and for the people inhabiting it. Affirm as you offer these blessings that no soul should have to struggle with the turmoil of war, especially those who want no part in it but can’t speak up for fear of persecution.

Proclaim that every soul deserves the infinite peace of the higher dimensions, and visualize as Love and Light energy bursts out of you in purer and purer increments each time it comes through.

Visualize now as our energy and that of the collective around us is funneled through the stargate, to the scene and the people we’ve been witnessing. As always, this landscape and the people in it act as representations for the vibrations we give to be funneled onward to the real situations and people they’re representing.

Visualize as our collective Light pours into the landscape we’ve been viewing, and quickly gets to work on helping soften the minds and hearts of those in the region who’ve fed into destructive warfare on a massive level. This is ultimately what our blessing energies are for – assisting the work being done in the realms of the unseen as much as possible.

Visualize as this energy steadily and surely permeates the minds and hearts of every soul in the landscape, and helps the people to eventually ignite a peaceful revolution built on unity, harmony and cooperation. Visualize that the landscape we’re viewing eventually grows to become the place we’ve performed our blessings from, and that the people we gave the blessings with are the very souls who were struggling with warfare and turmoil.

We’ve just helped to give blessings to a landscape from its own future setting with our visualization abilities, and as always, you’re encouraged to stay in this land and give your blessings to other representations in need.

Perhaps some of you have already performed blessings I’ve planned for us when exploring your own abilities, and you’re encouraged to explore and do as much as possible in these realms.

For now, we can enjoy our successful completion of yet another exercise bent on giving our Light energies to the Earth and its collective consciousness, and we can also expand upon the blessings we’ve already given in this harmonious place.

This concludes this week’s astral travels.

Along the Curve - A Song by Wes Annac

The following is a song written by me, called Along the Curve.

 

(ACC Note - I appreciated Rev.'s and Ariel's comments on my last song, Reality of Illusion, and plan to continue "honing the craft" as it were.)

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Traveling along the curve

Am I seen off in the distance?

Couldn't tell ya

Smiling as I look at this Earth

These children can become aware now

Were it not for propaganda

We can grow and oh, we can learn

But do we seek that inner-knowledge?

Do we care?

We can now seek and find within ourselves

The fables and legends of our past

And even through a hardened outer-shell

The changes we're feeling now, they will last

We will come to find all our bickering

Was a facet of the old paradigm

Oh, watching all of us stress and fight

It all seems so silly now

You know peace is best, it's right

For we are One and we cannot be

Complete if we throw hate around

We dim our Light

And when we can find our sovereignty

We'll realize it in the world stage

We will be free

You can seek your happiness now, my friends

And you can see that Life is heaven

And even when your mind says frown again

You'll see clearly when your heart is open
