Mirror Neurons
Scientist have found that in our central nervous system, mirror neurons respond to another's mental state, a bit like a biological tuning fork that picks up outside vibrations. If am crying or angry---or overcome it---whether you feel it or not---a part of your on a cellular level is mirroring my response!
Living Authentically
Other bits of insight...not from me---but someone wise!
One intuitive exercise was to ask a question of one’s higher self and then spend 10 minutes, alone, writing "whatever comes up." Such a method will draw an answer from one’s inner self.
*Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life
What are the questions?
*
What is the voice of "no?"
*
What is the voice of "yes?"
*
An action plan.
Questioning "draws knowledge to me -- and from me," Levoy said. "To the degree that knowledge is power, and we’re after power, the way to do it is thru questions."
He said he would ask the workshop participants many questions and, "the thing to do is to shoot from the hip – first expediency, and then second, do an ‘end-run’ around the left-brain." "Try to be as specific and complete as possible with responses." The point is to find out "what’s calling to you in your own life."
Definition of prosperity is "full health, perfect relationships, satfisfying work, and all the cash you can spend!"
In her opinion, Jesus Christ "was talking about THIS as the kingdom of heaven." Gaines asked us to make a commitment. "Your divine assignment for the next 21 days is no complaining about anything that happens. You’re only response is: ‘God, that’s great!’ If you can go 21 days, you’ll have it." If you forget, forgive yourself and start over! The mystics called such a commitment "the secret of transcendence."
"My experience is, we live in a universe governed by spiritual law. There are four spiritual laws we must live by. They are not optional and we don’t get to vote on them," she said. "They work whether you believe in them or not." They are:
*
Tithe, which requires returning 10 percent "off the top, [to] where you’ve received your spiritual food."
*
Forgive everyone, all of the time, especially ourselves.
*
Set clear-cut, tangible goals. "Jesus Christ said, ‘Ask and ye shall receive.’ He didn’t say, ‘Make me guess.’"
*
Seek and define and get on with your divine purpose. "It’s good to be a seeker," Gaines said. "Eventually, you need to be a finder. In my opinion, we have too many professional seekers in this world."
Regarding one’s divine purpose, she said, "Ask yourself the question: ‘What’s the most fun thing I could do with my life?’ Earth is the party planet… The age of the Christian martyrs is over."
Her voice crackling with enthusiasm, Gaines said, "You’re on a mission! Every one of us here is on a mission! You’re making up your divine purpose daily and my only question is: ‘How big do you want your divine purpose to be?’" Quoting Jesus in the Bible, she said, "’Ask and you shall receive.’"

Spirals
Again---something that moved me....not my own!
Can we talk a little about the spirals of consciousness. The Arcturian "Infinity" hologram is clearly a series of spirals. Why are spirals so important?
Michael: Well, what we would like to call the "natural" movement of consciousness in the Cosmos is a spiral. Think of the spiraling arms of the great galaxies, all the way down to the spirals of the DNA within your cells. Everything is constructed on geometric grids or fields based on circles and spirals.
And that is the natural rhythm or flow of consciousness. Now, each being has its own personal rhythm or flow. Part of the deep physiological and biochemical changes in the human body at this time are aimed at disconnecting your physical reality from a controlled linear perception to a more natural cycle that is "tuned" to the Cosmic pulse, and spirals in harmony with the Cosmic pulse, that which we call the "breath of God". All living intelligences pulse, and when one is aligned with the pulsations of Divine Creative Intelligence through the pulsations of the Galactic "heart" or the great central sun, your own natural rhythm or spirals synchronize with these larger spirals. This involves a shift in the "time clock" in your cells and in your brain, that has been "wired" to linear time and a progression of consciousness which is short and entirely out of synch with the Cosmic pulse.
Now, you are being "re-wired" to live in harmony with the Cosmic pulse and to live longer lives that spiral naturally and gracefully with the flows of Divine Creative Intelligence. So, your ascension symptoms are evidence of your body feeling the physical effects of being "re-wired" to a different rhythm of life, that is attuned to the Cosmic pulse but also very individual to you.
The Crystal children, and now the Blue Star children, are attuned to this pulse already. That is why so many of them are diagnosed as ADD. They move to their own rhythms and cannot be "controlled" into the rigid frame of school programs. Many adults are also releasing the rigid structures of "work" for more flexible ways of supporting themselves. For each person has an individual rhythm that may not lend itself to the 9 to 5 life. Finding your own rhythm is as important as finding your passion and creativity. These things all work together to ensure that you function at your optimum soul potential as a creator.
We will say too, that it is the presence of the Blue Star children who have entered the planet in the last 18 months that is accelerating this process. We have called it "activating your Galactic lightbody", as you reconnect with the Galactic pulse or heartbeat. As you make this connection, you naturally move into Unconditional Love, Compassion and Gratitude, for these are the energies of the Cosmic pulse and the "signature" of the Christed or Crystal energy.

Truth---
I read this somewhere and I loved how it was explained----so I am sharing!
You have to trade your lie to let in TRUTH. There has to be an exchange.
TRUTH is where we came from, and the home we long to return to. TRUTH is the state where your heart is allowed to just BE - a state of true rest, knowable only when you no longer let the mind, emotions and intuition tell you who you are. It can only be found through purity of heart. And that requires honest surrender.
I am not my own - I belong to Truth. Whatever Truth does or says is what I do and say and that's now what I'm here for.” In response to Truth from his complete state of surrender....(from Lonna---I wonder who blessed us with these words?)

Gather the Tribe
Gather the Tribe
Of late, I have been hearing the beat of the drums…the heart-beat of all of existence. The resonance of life. Do you feel it? The rate of the beat is speeding up. I dance. I keep the beat. I feel the urgency of its call.
A gift of the beat is that as I listen and resonate with it, I am in the eternal moment of NOW…I am in my heart…I feel its vibration and its call to be here in my body NOW. I get lost in the completeness of my heart and NOW. I am called to be fully present.
As I respond to my heart and the calling of the beat and rhythm of life I move in response to the pulsation of the energies of all of life. I notice those dancing around me. Some in beautiful rhythmic harmony with fluid motions...dancing their joy. Others seems to in the space of chaos and confusion. They are dancing to the pulse in ways that are disharmonious.
I feel their energy pulling me. I feel their energy asking, “How do I find the fluidity?” “How do I learn to listen to the beat deep within and deep within the earth?” I see the pain, anguish and fear in their eyes.
I must keep dancing my dance. Words are not as powerful as BEING. Those that are in harmony, are gathering to dance their Sacred Dances NOW TOGETHER! The Tribe is being called to respond to the Sacredness of Life. As we keep resonating with the heartbeat of life, others begin to feel this vibration and they begin to respond. The resonance is shared and felt on profound levels.
Shifts are occurring. The drum is beating. The heart is responding. The Tribe is Gathering. Each dancer is called to dance his/her own dance in response to the beat. The Tribe of Man is in chaos. Can we each be courageous enough to gather and dance? The time is now!

Expectation vs. Expectanct
Last night, for whatever reasons, I had difficulty finding the words to explain the difference between expectation and expectancy so I asked Lonna. Here is what I learned.
If we know what we want, expect it, and then don’t get it, we can become hurt, angry, and sad. We have set ourselves up for disappointment because of our expectations.
Think of a child at Christmas. The child writes Santa a letter expecting specific gifts.
Christmas morning comes, the child runs to the tree and sorts through the gifts. The present may be wrapped in beautiful paper and ribbon. The child thinks he knows what’s in the box, but when he opens it, it is something he wasn’t expecting. Then comes the disappointment.
Think of expectant parents that want a specific sex for their unborn child. If they expect a boy and have a girl, they set themselves up for disappointment.
Expectancy is a belief that life sustains and supports us in our highest and greatest good. Without question, we know that whatever life brings us is always perfect.
We let go of expectations and agendas. We don’t lie or manipulate to get what we want. We have learned the lessons that when we resort to lies or manipulation, we sometimes think we get what we want, but it doesn’t satisfy us. The real tragedy is that we settle for the quickest, easiest solution. Though victory may be swift, it is fleeting-it slips though our hands as quickly as it emerged. When we lie, we lie to others and to ourselves. When we manipulate in order to manifest a specific outcome, we never know what the ultimate outcome would have been. We think we are smarter than everyone, including God.
With expectancy, we hold a larger vision than we are capable of holding for ourselves. We create and hold the space for God’s goodness to come into our life. We allow “it” to come to us. We are filled with anticipation and joy. We know not how it comes to us. We surrender to God, knowing everything is in Divine and perfect order. We are grateful, knowing that the perfect situation is ours by surrendering and allowing God to provide all the blessings that are ours.
