“We are living in interesting times! Now is the time to hone our skills as a Spirit seekinga human experience. I call it living on thefulchrum…balancing the books of living inthe world but being not of it. We not onlyare capable of doing this, we were designedespecially for this purpose. Rather than avoid-ing our purpose, let’s step up to the plate and call forth the powers invested in us as us tonot only live in the world but to create a worldworth living in. No one loses when Love is present.”

WP: What was it like to be little Dr. Cousens before you were the actual doc-tor?

GC: So, my initial start in life was hav-ing to face the issue of death. I had TB, and was one year old. This was in 1943 when they didn’t have medications. My mother kept me home and saved my life.

At the same time my brother was there and had a very serious heart disease and he was also sick and bedridden for two years. During this time he and I bonded very deeply. At the age of four, no one in my family was connected to medicine at all; I knew I wanted to be a doctor, there was definitely a destiny.

WP: That’s interesting because people who often become doctors, it’s usually because their mothers, fathers, uncles and brothers … yeah.

GC: On my father’s side, he had actually come from Russia and they were master bakers and they created what’s known as a bialy. A bialy is a bagel without the whole.

WP: Yes, I know. I love them!

GC: So, what do I know? At eight I be-gan having mystical experiences. At the time no one in my family had the under-standing to help me. I had to keep that to myself.

WP: So on that note, what would some of those experiences be?

GC: Well they were mostly visions.

WP: Okay, if you could elaborate.

GC: I would be just anywhere and sud-denly begun to see these people in white robes. I had no present life understand-ing. And it actually continued.

WP: But the way you interpreted those visions when you saw them, the people in the white robes, there was a knowing in you that they were benevolent people.

GC: I knew that it was benevolent and I had no clue what it meant. Later, when looking back, it fit with some Essence and some Yogic thing but that was in retrospect. What do I know at eight or so? But I was really blessed also with be-ing a good athlete, and at ten I orga-nized my own football team and we were undefeated for four years.

WP: Wow, very impressive.

GC: This was fourth through eighth grade. But the point is, I had a warrior-ship piece which has been and was an important part of my life, and at the same time I read all the time in gram-mar school, which was in the Midwest, Illinois.

WP: This is where you grew up?

GC: Yes, my sixth grade teacher told me that I had read more books than anyone in the history of the school.

WP: Wow, very impressive.

GC: And the school was one hundred years old. I loved to read. My passion was reading and athletes.

WP: It was an unusual combination, the athletic department and also the books.

GC: Right.

WP: And what do you think it was? What events, time or moment when you realized: I am going to need to take an-other book, maybe ten or maybe even one hundred books in?

GC: I was reading a book a day. I was reading all the classics. I was just com-pletely fascinated with all of the clas-sics and doctor/nurse type books. Those were my two favorites. Basically I read everything in our school library and most of the things in our public library.

WP: That’s incredible, remarkable!

GC: And I loved it!

Dr. Cousens is a renaissance man for the 21st century. He is the author of ten books, creator of the Tree Of Life Center in Arizona, American Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, Homeopath, Social Worker at large, Spiritual writer and crusader of wellness through nutrition, inviting us to live consciously.

�WP: That’s even more remarkable.

GC: No one was forcing me to do it. So these were the kinds of energies going. I also began playing tennis at ten. I beat the fiftieth ranked person in the United States. I liked it, but I loved football.

The next really big event in my life was my brother being killed in a car accident. I was sixteen. So that led me into medita-tion. Everybody came to the service, it was a very big thing.

WP: I am very sorry to hear that. I un-derstand the impact of that magnitude of loss.

GC: Yeah, right. And I moved into the more serious meditation.

WP: It’s fascinating that you say that be-cause at sixteen, I really would not quite know what the process to meditate was; so for you was it one of the books you read, or you already knew about it?

GC: It began to happen naturally. I would begin to go into these mystical states and just be in meditation. This was in the 50’s. So I continued to play football and tennis. I got football scholarships. At the same time, I spent a lot of time in my brother’s room, and in that space between sixteen and eighteen I developed a heart and lung machine which is something that did not exist in the late fifties; now it’s common. I worked at the University of Chicago. I created life in my brother’s room. I mean, this heart and lung machine would pulse - it was truly alive! And so in the midst of all this, while playing sports, I am at the State Science Fair winning a first place you know.

WP: As you say, they are paradoxes, be-cause it is fascinating from the stand point of your perception as you were standing in your football and tennis world and were gifted in the world of academics. Did you not see yourself as having a much broader gift in life?

GC: Yes. It was clear that I wasn’t part of anything but connected to everything. I was always on the edge of multiple groups, I had the whole mystical thing going on. Now when I am playing tennis, I would often go into a trance or zone state. So, more paradox. I am like in deep medita-tion when I am playing football. That is what was going on naturally.

Continued on Page 9

WP: And so you were very dialed in to your feminine energy, equally to your masculine energy. And I think that is the invite for everyone, to feel more comfort-able embracing your feminine energy for men and for women also embracing their masculine energy.

GC: Exactly. That’s the point. So I was quite comfortable with that.

WP: We did not touch on this, but, were you religious in any way when growing up?

GC: I was spiritual because that’s what was happening. I went to Reform Jewish.

WP: Was it comfortable, you having these experiences as a little boy, or was it con-flicting in a way with what was happening to you, what you were seeing and what you were taking in?

GC: I wasn’t that deep. I liked it. I never even thought of this as comfortable.

WP: So where did you finish college?

GC: I went to Columbia Medical School because I had to do what my destiny was pushing me to do.

WP: You knew from a very young age that you would be headed to medical school.

GC: Yes, and at the same time another aspect was emerging, my humanitarian aspect. So I’m working as a young man even before going to college with black gangs on the south side of Chicago. The Black Stone Rangers - they were a big gang.

WP: So you were a peacemaker?

GC: In the two years that I worked with them, no one got killed. On the day I left, nine people got killed.

WP: Oh God! What triggered that?

GC: I have no idea. I then actually moved to central Harlem and began do-ing work there around health. We set up a program to train parents to become health workers. I lived one block from Harlem Hospital.

WP: And for clarification purposes, when you say you were in that state, you were just kind of dialed in?

GC: Totally there. But at the same time I was in an altered reality. So I began to study mysticism in courses. I was doing things in a different way.

WP: Yes. It wasn’t for the fame or getting into the year book. It was part of your course.

GC: That’s correct.

WP: So in terms of your mystical experi-ences, were you ever in a space where you seemed a little overwhelmed?

GC:: I loved it. It was natural, just part of my life. I honestly did not have any fear.

WP: You were like a Renaissance man, there on every level. Football, science, creating your heart and lung machine.

GC: I did know the word Dharma. I did not have a spiritual vocabulary.

WP: For you it was never an experience of being fueled or being driven in a way to outshine everyone else?

GC: No, this was totally internal. I knew after I finished the football season, I had completed my warriorship. Today is a little funny. Men seen as warriors are not nec-essarily a good thing. The female qualities are part of society. When we get into the mystical, the merging of the male and fe-male qualities (at least in Kabbalistic teachings) it’s kind of what it’s about.

WP: To your question about the schools being a little more disciplining with young men at some level. I think when I see the behaviors of men, I say this in general, the lineage and lineages, and women being the recipients of their behaviors. I under-stand women saying we’ve had enough, we’ve been squelched and our voices have been silenced and we are now going to have voice and a say in our world.

GC: Here is how I see it - the pendulum is moving. I have read some feminist writing saying that we are feminizing the men. This is not so good. We are looking for the balance. This is the time of the merging of Male and Female. Both high level qual-ities need to come out and be honored.

WP: And did you sense a risk being there? Well, maybe a greater one after Dr. King’s death?

GC: I felt no risk. I was supported by the community. In 1966 or 1967 I moved to Mid-Manhattan. I married and everything kept evolving. After medical school, I went into psychiatry and did a lot of family therapy work. I ended up in Boston and started a cen-ter for white working class teens.

WP: As you completed medical school, what drew you into psychia-try?

GC: When I was a third-year medical student, I solved five unsolvable cases. I thought the doctor I was working with at the time was so brilliant. This satisfied my intellectual needs and I got drawn into it.

WP: So how did you differentiate in a way of recognizing that there were other elements that were af-fecting people and the issues they were dealing with?

GC:: I saw what I saw. It was a no brainer. It was not as much spiritual but I was certainly sensing physical, emotional and mental things.

WP: And then you came out here to the West Coast?

GC: Exploration. WP: Let’s try the West Coast experi-ence - sunshine and surf?

GC: Yeah, and I really liked it. My wife liked it. I started the Petaluma People Center of Southern Sonoma County. 1973 was the beginning of my holistic health career. I clearly saw that your physical body affected your mind. I also understood that the mind affected the body. I began to study Shamanism. I also began studying Kundalini in 1975 and developed a Kundalini machine.

WP: You built it?

GC: Myself and Dr. Lisa Nela. We wrote the book “Kundalini Psychosis”. We were very close. She died in 1996. My real spiritual life began when

I received Shaktipat from Muktananda He did something I thought was routine but it wasn’t. He blew into my mouth, Spirit went in and I began having ex-traordinary experiences. I went into the Nothing, dissolved into nothing and came back down. I had what you would call stigmata. Up my back was a snake and in my hands was the stigmata too. I spent the next seven years with him.

WP: How did you see your Kundalini experience enhancing not only your life but your ability to do what you wanted to do?

GC: It began driving me. The di-vine urge was pushing me so hard. This went on for seven years. My job was to keep showing up. All these deities were showing up and teaching me. The Kundalini is re-programming you at DNA level. Dr. Lesio and I opened up the first Kundalini Crisis Center in the world in 1976.

WP: You mentioned writing a book.

GC: I have ten books.

WP: Are there more on the way?

GC: Yes, writing books is just my life.

WP: Help us define liberation in your terms so that others can get an idea of your experience.

GC: The best I can give is that the glass shield of the mind shatters and you are free to move in any direction. You are open to all that is, you are all that is and you don’t exist. I love dying into noth-ing and eventually you get it. You are an illusion. The “I Am-ness“ disappears.

WP: Is this something you vacillate be-tween from day to day and moment to moment?

GC: It’s an important question and I am going to say two things. There are levels of enlightenment. All from Self-Realiza-tion to God-Realization. You are not do-ing God’s will, you are God’s will. The art of the awakened state, so to speak, is the walk between the Something and the Nothing; but that takes a while.

WP: How does it relate to being con-

nected to your Higher Self?

GC: Clearly there is a higher self but at the level I am talking about, there is no Higher Self. The Self or witness disap-pears. That is a subtlety that does not get talked about regularly. Now, we have the Tree of Life Center in the US and we have 32 centers all over the world. What we are teaching is really about waking up.

WP: In how many countries?

GC: Thirteen, but we are opening a center in Ecuador soon so fourteen.

WP: How wonderful.

GC: We are hoping to have a Spanish Organic Farming beginning program. We have a master’s program in Spiritual Nutrition and Organic Farming.

WP: Oh, very nice, exciting.

GC: People get a 6-week intensive of the lineage through the Tree of Life Foundation. Next year in 2015, we also start a program in Blue-Green Building

Architecture and Community Plan-ning. There is also a 6-month Café. It’s an apprenticeship. It’s a deep training.

WP: That’s remarkable. You are doing amazing work!

GC: I have to say it’s not by choice. I am being directed as well. There is no I. This is what’s happening.

WP: The closing question to you is, since we are the Whole Person Maga-zine, is Dr. Gabriel Cousens a whole person?

GC: If you believe a whole person is empty. I am at peace in my body, mind, family, community, ecology and with God. I am being lived by it. The natural state of liberation. That is how I am de-fining the wholeness.

WP: Very insightful. I would like to thank you for all the work you are doing and sharing yourself and your knowl-edge with us this afternoon.

GC: Thank you. I would like to bless you and your readers.

SPRING CLEANING

“Your mother, Jan, is here and putt ing boxes at your feet,” I mentioned to a lady during a phone session. “She wants you to know that it is okay to do-nate the things that she can’t use any longer.” With a catch in her voice, the lady on the other end of the l ine said, “My mom died on a cold and snowy day in December. Today, three months later, I started cleaning out the closets in her house. R ight before this appointment, I said to her, ‘Mom, I need to know if it is okay to give your things away to people who need them.’”

At a spirit circle in a private home, a father in spirit remind-ed his daughter of the brush that needed to be cleaned out in the spring. As her father cont inued to share his spring “to do” l ist, he mentioned that he l iked to be out back at their home by the fountain. As I spoke, the family dog ran to the doors leading out to the back-yard and began to bark. I don’t think that any of us in that room doubted that this usual ly

BY HOLLISTER RAND

Loved ones in spirit may use our natural world and seasonal activities to make them-selves known to us. To pre-pare yourself for a spirit visit with the arriv-al of spring, here are some examples of how loved ones may show up for you.

Enjoy A

Spirited Spring

SPRING BREAK

“Your father is mentioning a Florida fraternity connection with your son,” I told a lady at a recent spirit circle. “That’s be-cause my son’s on spring break in Miami with his fraternity broth-ers,” she replied. As the message continued, it became clear that her beloved father in spirit was joining in the good times. Grandfather and grandson were buddies here on the earth and death had not changed that rela-tionship.

However, when tragedy strikes, it is easy to assume that the spir-its have failed us. I remember a session in which a young woman with great promise mentioned dying in a van accident during a spring break island getaway. “Grandma Betty was right there with me,” said the young wom-an. Her mother wept and said, “My only hope in this situation was that my mother met my daughter when she passed. I was so afraid that she’d be alone.” We need never fear for those we love - - or ourselves. We, and

they, are never alone.

1�

your dreams in h is garden so

that they can grow. He is tend-

ing to your wishes and your

intent ions so that they can be-

come rea l for you here on

earth.” We were both struck

by the beauty of that state-

ment. The idea that those we

love in spir it can help our

dreams to grow and that the

spir its help co-create our

rea l it y was a “wow” moment

for me.

Loved ones in spir it can use

signs of spr ing to warm our

hearts and renew the hope that

they cont inue to share l ife

with us - - and join us in mak-

ing dreams a rea l it y.

Holl ister Rand provides spec if-ic messages from loved ones l iv -ing in the spir it world . Her book, I’m Not Dead, I’m Dif-ferent, publ ished by Har per Coll ins, is available in stores and onl ine . Her radio appear -ances include Coast to Coast with George Noor y, Sir ius XM’s The Séance with John Edward and telev ision appear -ances include Tor i and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood and Amer ica Now. You may con-tact Holl ister at Holl ister -Rand@gmail .com or on Face-book and learn more about her work at www.Holl isterRand.com.

Recent ly, however, I spoke with

a grandfather in spir it who spoke

about gardens in an unusual way.

“Your grandfather is garden-

ing,” I told h is granddaughter.

“He loved h is garden,” she told

me. “Your grandfather is let-

t ing me know that he is plant ing

““

Spirited Spring

very quiet dog was seeing a father in spirit, enjoying a spring day by the backyard fountain.

BIRDS AND OTHER WINGED CREATURES

“Your mom loves humming-birds,” I told sisters during a recent phone session. “She’s lett ing me know that you put up another feeder in her hon-or.” “I did that this morning!” one of the daughters exclaimed. I have heard many t imes from the spirits that they wil l let loved ones know that they’re around by inspiring birds to ap-pear. Reports of hawks and owls swooping by, feathers ma-terial izing from nowhere, drag-onf l ies and butterf l ies bright-ening grief-f i l led moments and hummingbirds buzzing in front of faces are often “hel los” from loved ones in spirit.

WIND CHIMES

As I discovered from speaking to a young man in spirit named Brian, he could make chimes ring even without a breeze! His mother conf irmed that chimes hanging in her son’s room start-ed to ring during the night. When she got up to invest igate, she could see the chimes sway-ing even though no windows were open and no fans were blowing. Brian loved wind chimes from the t ime he was a baby. He st i l l loves wind chimes and uses them to let his mother know that he is around.

your grandfather

is letting me know that he is planting

your dreams in his garden so that they

can grow.

GARDENS

The spirits often speak about gardens (and f lowers). During one session, a mother in spirit beamed in the midst of a mag-nif icent garden and said, “No weeding needed.” Vegetable and herb gardens are also a top-ic of conversat ion for the spir-its, often because gardens represent a person’s determina-t ion to take care of themselves and their famil ies while on the earth.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s fam-ily, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control

his mind he can find the way to Enlighten-ment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. ~

BUDDHA

My father was a strict disciplinarian. As a child, I was in constant fear of his particular form of discipline. I can re-member lying in bed at night, fearful that the next day I may inadvertently incur his wrath. Discipline was some-thing very punishing. Discipline hurt.

When I was in the 7th grade, my moth-er moved us to Hawaii; my angry fa-ther no longer part of the household. My brothers and I had an incredible sense of freedom. No discipline to speak of. We played in the jungles and swam in the sea like natives. Most rules were tossed out and the expres-sion of self encouraged. Discipline had been vanquished, exiled like a ty-rant put to death. Freedom and anar-chy ruled the day.

For a good portion of my adult life, still lacking a good model of this trait, I shunned many positive aspects of discipline, choosing instead to lead a vagabond existence. Until recently, discipline seemed to be arduous, re-pressive and punishing. Now I’m see-ing this is indeed not the case.

BY KENTON DAVID BELL

Discipline as a

SpiritualTrait

20

Discipline, when actively engaged, has its’ own vibrational frequency to which anyone can attune; in its’ high form, this vibration is an incredible asset for bringing success to any fac-et of life.

Practicing discipline as a spiritual trait is one of the keys to Enlighten-ment.

Choosing our thoughts instead of our thoughts choosing us, for we be-come the reality that we think.

As the Buddha teaches, it is about controlling one’s mind. Discipline, when practiced in the positive, al-lows thought and consciousness to become one, which in turn creates the environment for true, deep spir-itual growth.

Mantra: “I allow my mind to become one with the mind of God, I allow my thoughts to become one with the thoughts of God.”

Allow, as used here, is not a passive practice, but requires discipline.

21

Discernment helps us see disci-pline as a positive quality. I do not see punishment as part of the equa-tion. When we fail ourselves, through the lack of self- discipline, our life suffers, and that is a form of self-punishment. Practicing discipline in the positive is a form of great self-love.

When we employ discernment and discipline together, it becomes a powerful duo: discernment as the sword, cutting the extraneous from our lives, and discipline the muscle that swings the sword.

Discipline can be powerful in adopting new practices. In these

Imagine your small self surren-dering to your Higher Self. This is discipline of thought that brings about higher consciousness. This takes a finesse which can only be mastered through discipline.

“Success isn’t measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.”

~ Mike Ditka

We live in a culture that offers a smorgasbord of spiritual offer-ings. Individuals are seeking an-swers through many different “pathways” in our culture: some jumping from one path to another when they don’t find an immedi-ate answer or cure.

It takes discipline to be able to get the “gold” from any teaching. As much as the path is important, the way in which we engage our spiri-tual pursuits is equally vital.

“Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.”

~ Jim Rohn

Personally, I found the pure en-ergy of Discipl ine through com-munion with an Ascended Mas-ter, Serapis Bey. Serapis Bey holds the Mastered Vibrat ion of Discipl ine. Anyone, through meditat ion, can access this Master Frequency.

shifting times, it can be very pow-erful to stand in the unknown in order to learn something new. It takes a disciplined mind to be able to step out of what you know into what you don’t know, to clear the clutter of the mind and psyche, so that something new and profound can show up.

We are living in the time of spiri-tual masters. We are the masters we’ve been waiting for. It is time for us to claim our mastery by act-ing as such. Self-mastery is key to claiming and living as God’s true children, our sovereign God-given right.

“Through discipline comes freedom.”

~ Aristotle

While I lived a good part of my life thinking I was free because disci-pline was not my bag, I now see I was living a spiritual delusion. I can honestly say that as I practice discipline in my life, I experience a much deeper freedom. Discipline is setting me free. It has changed every aspect of my life in a positive way, and I’ve just begun to practice it. May it set you free as well!

In Love and Peace and Discipline, Kenton David Bell.

God is as close to you as your next breathSoul Transcendence is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. Your Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts, or your feelings. MSIA provides tools and techniques for experiencing your Soul and your own Divinity. We focus on how to incorporate spirituality into everyday life in a workable way. We call it “practical spirituality.” It allows you to tune more and more to your Soul and to increasingly live from that awareness.

“All that you want to be, you already are. All you have to do is move your awareness there and recognize the reality of your own Soul.”

fer. Friend two reports that the air conditioning was so high; all she did was shiver and didn’t re-ally see or hear a thing. Once again, here’s a situation where three people experience the same thing and have completely differ-ent interpretations of what this occurrence means. This may seem obvious, but if you extrapo-late its meaning you’ll eventually discover that every individual on the planet interprets “objective facts” in vastly different ways. The truth is that in our spiritual l ives there is no objective good or bad. All judgment is suspended.

Take the ancient Zen story about the farmer who consults with the master on how he should handle his diff icult l ife situations. On his f irst visit he explains that his horse has run away and now he must plow his f ields himself. “Even with the horse plowing the field, I barely made a l iving,” he laments. “Now that he’s run off,

they are a group of older, retired men who meet at a deli and have breakfast once a week. “So what’s the advantage of membership?” I asked him. “Well f irst you are re-quired to send every member a birthday card on his birthday, so nobody feels bad when they don’t get anything on that day. Second, we guarantee that at least 10 mem-bers will come to your funeral. And, you must accept the club’s motto, Opinion Over Truth! I quickly understood that I did not share his view on the meaning of l ife.

Consider this much more typical situation. You go with two friends to a seminar. On the way home, you tell your friends that the wom-an in the blue dress was so argu-mentative and dominating that you didn’t get to hear anyone else’s opin-ion. Friend one tells you that the woman’s dress was black and that he thought she was insightful and the best thing the night had to of-

Is the world, and particular-ly your life, good or bad? A Course in Mir-acles tells us that each of us individually gives the world all the mean-ing it has.There was an older man I used to play poker with who told me about his great men’s club, the Mavens, which is the Yiddish word for Ge-niuses or more appropriately, Know-It-Alls. As he described it,

what do I do?” The master simply replies, “Wait and see.” A week later, the farmer comes back to the master feeling joyful. “The horse has returned, bringing along another horse with him. Now both my son and I each have a horse to plow and we will harvest twice as much.” The master l is-tens and simply replies, “Wait and see.” The next week the man comes back and tells the master, “Oh a terrible thing has hap-pened. My son’s horse was stung by a bee and jumped, knocking my son off and causing him to break his back. He won’t be able to work for months.” The mas-ter’s reply once again is, “Wait and see.” The following week, the man returns and again gives a joyful report. “The Emperor’s army swept through the town, forcing all the young men into the army, hauling them away without any notice. But when they came to my hut, they saw that my son was in bed and incapable of any duties and so they left us alone.” Well at this point, you know what the master said, “Wait and see.”

No matter how hard we try, we cannot control the world. We can do our best to steer our l ives and follow our preferences, but in the end, we control very l ittle. What we can do is surrender everything in our l ives to God’s will. If we believe we are spirit and full of God’s love and presence, then all situations lead us to experience the world with that joy and pres-ence. This is God’s true desire for us. Keeping that in mind, the best course in l ife would be to see every event as a catalyst to recog-

nize that all things, even the most painful, will end in divine grace -- no matter how smooth or rough the road may be getting there.

We give the world all the meaning that it has. We cannot truly judge what happens to other people, as we don’t know what their l ife is really about – unless we assume we know more than them and God. We are as unique as snow-f lakes with different roads to travel and worldly adventures that are never duplicated. We can choose to look at certain things as crippling crises or opportunities to l ive in the present and surren-der to God. If we want to l ive a joyful l ife, there is no other way to do it. We cannot suffer for an-other person. We can give them comfort and show compassion and perhaps our actions will be a silver l ining behind a dark cloud.

Life is what it is. This sounds simple but it’s actually profound. We can fulf il l our l ives by looking at all situations through the eyes of love -- while

forgiving ourselves for those times that we can’t. We can trust in our own abilit ies but know they are l imited and the rest of l ife we surrender to God. We don’t sur-render in terms of giving up. We surrender in a very loving way to acknowledge that only God knows what the meaning of l ife is.

C reativity for the mystic has special m e a n i n g . I n t h e

world of the mystic, all is One. This means that there’s only one Creator. Your job as an artist, painter or writer is simply to attune with this One source of all creation, listen, and report on what you’re told. This is the essence of di-vine inspiration. It’s similar to the advice I was given as a young businessman when my boss and I were on our way to an important meet-ing. He turned to me and said, “Keep your mouth shut and listen good.”As an author, I am most familiar with the art of writing. Many people are fearful that they don’t know how to write or that they’re not qualified. Since every-one is tapping into the same source, it doesn’t matter. All you have to do is, “Keep your mouth shut and listen good.” Everyone is qualified because, as it turns out, God is an excellent writer.Anyone can write. The secret is simply, how do you attune with this One source of creation? Writers attempt to do this by following certain routines or rituals. Rit-uals are simply a series of acts that are meant to impress upon the conscious mind what is being transmitted on a higher plane. Holy Communion, bless-ing of the food, blowing a ram’s horn are all examples of rituals. They are meant to put you in the proper state of mind so your attunement follows.In the world of the writer, the rituals may involve writing at a certain time of day, with a favorite typewriter or at a cer-tain desk. Smart writers try to recreate the same feelings they experienced when they were successful in pouring out ma-terial. A mystic takes this one step fur-ther and you can do this too.Mystics create a personal sanctum that

the sounds and smells of your private space. When you are fully present, ask your question. Then simply listen and make a note of any impressions or intu-itions you receive. Understand that when you return to the physical world, you may have to do some research. In fact that’s one of the key reasons people suffer from writer’s block - they run out of material or don’t have the knowledge to describe the in-formation that’s been given to them in their personal sanctum.It’s a good idea to visit your personal sanctum on a daily basis. There are ad-ditional benefits to this such as in-creased vitality, increased ability to concentrate, control of emotions, enhanced intuition, the removal of fear and anxiety.But the prime benefit of ascending to your own personal sanctum is to re-ceive inspiration by direct attunement with God, the font of all creativity.

source of creation?

“By Edwin Harkness Spina

God is an Excellent WriterThe font of all Creativity and Inspiration

facilitates attunement with the one Cre-ator. Now, you can create one on the physical plane - a favorite recliner or spe-cial room for meditation or spiritual stud-ies - but the more important one is on a higher plane. This is where you will go to receive inspiration.The technique is simple. Before you be-gin, decide what purpose you’d like to achieve. If you’re just starting out, then your purpose may very well be “what should I write about? What message does the one Creator want me to bring through and share with the world?” Next, decide what you’d like your private sanctum to look like. Will it be a nature scene with a waterfall or a babbling brook, a cathedral with majestic spires and trans-lucent stained glass windows, a beach scene with waves gently lapping against the shore, or perhaps a garden with beau-tiful flowers? It doesn’t matter what you choose, so long as you recognize it as a safe place.After you relax with a few deep breaths, visualize yourself entering your sanctum. Use your inner senses to “look about.” Feel yourself sitting on your chair. Notice

do this on a regular basis, it will have permanent results for both you and your animal companion.

2) ENGAGE IN COMMUNICATION with your animal companion. Even if you are not a skilled ani-mal communicator or don’t know how to practice telepathy, simply speaking out loud in simple, short calm sentences, without any intensity, will reassure your animal that all is well and will produce magnificent results. These kinds of calming sentences have an energetic im-print on your companions and on yourself, as you speak them. They can be very similar to affirmations.

3) CREATE A SAfE SPACE exclusively for your companion. In particular, felines and canines who were born in dens, find comfort and reassurance in small spaces. Crates and safe pet en-closures can re-create these kinds of safe spaces. Think of it as a sacred space or meditation sanctuary for your pet. Provide your companion with a favorite blanket with your scent on it and/or the essences or oils men-tioned below.

and fears will eventually lead to chronic emotional distress and physical illness, oftentimes for both you and your companion, and sometimes even a shortened life span.

From a holistic perspective, these issues must be fully ad-dressed on all levels - emotion-ally, mentally, physically, ener-getically, behaviorally and spiritually, in both human and animal, since both are intricately linked and both are sharing the same environment and lifestyle. By addressing them this way, whole resolution for both the human and the animal can be achieved.

That said, there are a number of things you can do quickly and easily, which will almost imme-diately bring some temporary, if not permanent, relief to these challenging situations and expe-riences.

1) PRACTICE MEDITATION with your companion - even if you are not an expert meditator, a few moments of deep breath-ing into your belly, while your animal companion is sitting nearby, will hugely reduce stress and anxiety. If you are able to

easy Ways to Calm and Relax Your Animal Companion in Stressful SituationsIn our ever-evolving, unpredict-able, high-stress environment, our animal companions are of-ten at the receiving end of our anxieties and stresses which we have become accustomed to.

These fears, phobias and anxiet-ies often lead to emotional and physical illnesses in our beloved companions; many times, they start off as simple forms of sepa-ration anxiety, noise phobias, social interaction fears, or even aggression.

Some of the most common be-havioral challenges associated with high stress situations in-clude panting, crying, whining, pacing, shaking, ears facing backward, tail tucking, excessive yawning, lip licking. Overly anx-ious greetings could include jumping, hiding out, dashing, tail tucking, destructive behav-iors, and inappropriate elimina-tion.

When not properly addressed, these kinds of anxieties, phobias

4) USE A fLOWER ESSENCE blend in his or her water or food. Some of my favorites include Bach Rescue Remedy, particu-larly the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ va-riety, Star Essences, Spirit Es-sences or Flower Essence Services (FES). You can also apply these to your hands and rub the essence directly onto your pet’s fur or feathers just be-fore you leave.

Using medicinal grade essential oils can have profound effects in calming and soothing animals. My favorite brand is Young Liv-ing Oils. They make a variety called ‘Peace and Calm’, which is fabulous. You can also use Lav-ender, which has also been prov-en to reduce stress. You can place a few drops on your companion’s bedding and inside a collar and you can also diffuse the oil in your home for overall calming and relaxation.

5) PLAY SOOTHING MUSIC whenever you go out and partic-ularly before a possible stressor occurs. This will likely relax your companion and also reduce the interference from other dis-tressing noises in the environ-ment. One of my favorite variet-ies, specifically for animals, is Through A Dog’s Ear or Through A Cat’s Ear.

Explore the possibility of using an animal wrap during stressful situations, such as Thundershirt. They can be very helpful in as-sisting your pet to feel relaxed and comforted.

Make certain that your compan-ion gets plenty of exercise, fresh air (even cats can be supervised on a leash outside) fun, playtime, mental stimulation, and of course, love and attention. A well-exercised pet is a better-be-haved and more relaxed pet.

More important, the more ful-filling our companions’ lives are when we’re together, the more relaxed and adapted they’ll be when we’re not.

Start learning to work with energy. Your companion animal is ‘speak-ing’ a Universal Language of En-ergy (I call it Speak Wolf!®) If you learn how to ‘play with’ this lan-guage, you will find that you and your companion are actually on the same ‘wave length’ and that your human animal bond grows deeper and is more enhanced than you likely ever thought possible. As a result, both human and ani-mal will be more calm and relaxed through all of life’s situations and challenges.

Astrological

Your future holds a blessing of angels for you! Be ready and the opening hap-pens! call to them and they come!

GEMINI - 5/21 – 6/20Are you ready to be completed? Are you ready to have a piece fit in to complete the puzzle you are currently playing with! You know these things complete in their own good time! The only thing to do is to surrender to what is and what is inte-grates a little quicker and a little smooth-er with less pain and less dis-comfort! The adventuresome 5 year old within, is coming out to play in the rainbow light! Wow!!! This call for a ‘Letting Go’ from the depth of the unconscious and with that said all you can do is witness it hap-pen and marvel at God’s presence!You willingness to share with others is a key and most generosity triggers a flow of wealth of all kinds. Keep it up and the master within will definitely come out to play with the 5 year old! CANCER - 6/21 – 7/22While it is clear that a real true healing is going on, it may escape you attention given the circumstances you are em-broiled in! However, trust that ‘Yes’ there is a true healing happening! The fire and thunder is fierce and can be a little scary at the same time a deep ‘light filled space’ is wide open above you! How can this happen one might ask? Well there is a deep seeded place within that is erupting toward the surface of you awareness; it is called creativity! This is a new kind of creative energy that comes only when the circumstances allow! Rest in knowing it is there and it is you that harbors all that is required.The fool is very active right now and as before the ‘Fool’ moves forward from the heart rather than thinking, plotting and trying to make sense out of the cir-cumstances you are in! The ‘Fool’ only knows to offer all to God and in taking action does so without thought! The

ARIES - 3/21 – 4/19It is the Divine Feminine in you that is ready, ready to share with you and sub-sequently with all that are moved to lis-ten! It is just what you have in hand that carries the light of your message. What is behind you comes through you and is then gone! Know that!It is the innocence within that is com-ing to be known by your awareness. In knowing that, it is time to share yourself. While there is still a miser hiding in the dark, all you can get is never enough! Let it Be, Share and throw a little bit of light into the darkness within; do it with Love, Gratitude and Appreciation for the un-known and unseen blessings.Let go of what you have and you con-nect with the next step; sound familiar, yea!! Do this and there is a huge healing coming your way. It is a healing beyond what you can imagine; it comes from a quarter you will never see coming until it arrives. The blessings come perfectly and in accordance with how you are working with and accepting what is!

TAURUS - 4/20 – 5/20The Fire within brings you to the brink of knowing; as the old falls away includ-ing people, places and things. This can be outwardly, inwardly or both. It is a jour-ney that is perfect in all its aspects regard-less of how it feels at times; know that! It is your need to be in control that keeps you in fear as the lightning strikes! In si-lence you will sort things out for your-self. Actually in silence things are sorted out without you looking, which is such a blessing. After, you will begin to know your inner voice much more intimately. Good, good, good! That place that proj-ects onto will begin to be spotted and in being spotted the unconscious patterns will start to dissolve automatically! Your need to travel has arrives and as you come to know, in silence the benefits of traveling will be revealed. Some benefits are there as you simply turn around!

2014 Psychology

March‘Fool’ steps forward without regard for self or evaluating what the actions will cost!Shortly the fountain of light begins to shower you and those around you. The light is connecting parts to places, proj-ects and the people like never before. Hang in there and trust in God/Spirit/Consciousness/Higher Power.

LEO - 7/23 – 8/22So you are completing right now! The fi-nal piece is fitting into place. This is due to your patience, hard work, faith in god and self-effort. Stay tuned in because in the void you will complete and begin to know a new duality experientially! From beyond the known and the unknown comes your way. Rest in what you might like to run from. It is easier said than done that is for sure. Just stay the course and you will see!From beyond illusion your ability to complete springs forth like the taste of clear mountain spring water! From be-yond illusion you have been guided into the place where the void can be pierced and integrated in a knowing understand-ing that it is just the other side of what is! Integration yields an awareness that will catapult you into the future, part the veil and dissolve the shadow; at least a whole lot more of them! There is an infinite unfolding that can, may, must come your way!

VIRGO – 8/23 – 9/22Going with the flow is easier said than done! However, especially now, please set you intentions and prayers that you may do so; with ease and grace being pre-ferred! In any event it is your experienc-ing creativity that will make silk purses out of whatever brand of lemons that are conjured up for you! many kick and scream all the way into the light because of the shedding of old vasanas and sam-skaras (beliefs and unfulfilled expecta-tion/desires)!

BY RON HOLMAN

�1The dream the 5 year old in you had, is still active and is being held onto. You can ask gently, about the dream and if you receive the information be respect-ful and honor what the 5 year old tells you; with this you are half way to healing! This healing fosters a new vision coming your way. It fosters the ability to call for the ability to call in helpers, angels, higher beings Maha Siddhas etc.

LIBRA - 9/23 – 10/22Now it is time to embrace guilt like it is a long lost friend. Know guilt as the very same you in the mirror and you will be able to utilize the special awareness you have cultivated in a most magical way! You will have to slow down and sit in the guilt and begin to celebrate you knowing-ness before you get it consciously!Consciousness blends, can blend, may blend both sides of the coin of duality. Meaning, stop carrying on as if you are so talented showing off with you powers, cut the strings of your servants and the real Master within comes forth in a most magnificent way! Do it now and you will have to hurry to get ready for the fire-works that are coming to you!The guilt is tied to issues of morality, shame, being bad etc. Experiencing your-self from above all this seems foolish or even funny! Let go of the need to hold onto your past; so called transgressions. It is only those that now foster you readi-ness to move beyond the mind. Mind is where all this mishi-gash lives is created and causes suffering! Knowingness and receptivity in this regard brings in the Light, dissolving the need to hold on! call on the rebel within to break the chains holding your mind in guilt and moral failures and to come with you into the Light.What a wonderful completion is ahead for you! Get busy, let go of the guilt and bask in the unknown for knowing how to have the circumstances in the life make sense!

SCORPIO - 10/23 – 11/21Being in a space to allow the deeper roots of your ability to be a friendly person is being called to right now! The call is to be friendly when there is nothing to gain. Being friendly as a matter of ‘a course of action’ takes you into the relaxed and peaceful state which can become just

ordinary. You know how to be ordinary and how you are affected by those that want to make you into something for their own good! The master within is right there being ordinary in the face of all the circumstances in a Life. You’re be-ing able to have a breakthrough calls for a throwing off of all that is, that is held onto. What you hold onto defines the limits of yourself. It provides so called protect. It enables you to be held in place as if necessary! While this place could be great, however are you really done? The future, should you choose to accept this mission, calls for you to choose to let go of what you are holding onto for comfort and thus it has you thrust high above all that you currently know! Take a peek!

SAGITTARIUS - 11/22 – 12/21The Red Queen brings wealth of all kinds to you to share! Sharing is important es-pecially now! She is the harbinger from beyond illusion, only because you already know how to open the door! The key, from the unconscious mind, is to open to processing deep old sorrows! Losses exist because of the perception created in the mind! You can step down from the need to balance things. You can let go of the cord you are holding onto! You can cause the appearances of an explosion or step up gracefully! Either way you slice it and dice it your hidden receptivity to a deeper state of harmony is connecting nicely and will deepen and sweeten.However, in the future silence is the tick-et. Sit in silence without any expectation! Just let what is be and notice how it Is as you return from deeper silence!

CAPRICORN - 12/22 – 1/19What can you do with all the Abundance coming your way? Can you turn inward to get the intuitive knowingness necessary to do the right thing? What is the right thing anyways! It is guilt that blurs your view of doing the right thing. The guilt hides so deeply and is so afraid of being hurt some more there is a great armoring going on around the 5 year old; makes sense to a 5 year old. Slowing down and turning Inn-ward is a start. You will have to let go of the conditioning to let go of the guilt! You will have to move away from dysfunctional comfort!You are primed to be ‘Going with the

Flow’ of what is and in doing so, it is highly likely that you will cease projecting onto others what is yours, a huge bless-ing. Waiting for you on the other side of all of this is a space where you can be playful in the light!

AqUARIUS - 1/20 – 2/18Slowing down allows the light to be seen, experienced and utilized! With that un-derstanding you will be able, as you are ready, to leave the nest! Comfortable as it is, it is high time for you to take flight; your friends are waiting and encouraging you to step up! Most of us in the west believe harder and faster is better; slow down to win!Slowing down also encourages you to be in friendship with some that you would miss the opportunity if you are moving faster! It is your ability to operate beyond illusion that has prepared you to take this step! The dream you had as a child is coming home in a ticker tape parade!

PISCES - 2/19 – 3/20Let go of the hanging on to open the door to the field of possibilities! Admin-ister all that you have with an easy brush and you will paint yourself into a new level of experiencing! Your need to be in control is a disaster to your personal growth. Even though you are and have made significant progress, you are work-ing 1,000 times harder than you would have to work if you just let go. There is a real healing there for you. The harmony within is touchable, as you open!Consciousness is a tricky thing. What you imagine is your reality until you experi-ence! It is your creativity that supports you Inn the full depth of consciousness; begin to know that in emptiness and the fullness is there! Behind the scenes there are submerged political misgivings that interfere with your door opening! It is your intensity that pulls you into the creative light and in that Light there is a transformation. Letting go has worked for you to date! All this will support you in letting go and that will give you the personal insight to get off the marry-go-round! The stress you carry is attached to your belief that it is important for you to put on a show!
