You are the stars, sparkling like diamonds upon the black velvet sky. You are the wind beneath the wings of the great eagle as it flies. You are the rays of the sun as it warms the earth, And kisses the face of the snow covered mountains. You are the Gifted One. You are the birds, the trees, the flowers, the animals and the fish in the sea. You are the cotton candy clouds floating in the blue sky. You are the lightning, the thunder, the rain, the snow. You are your brothers keeper, because you are your brother. You are One with all there is you see. For you are the gifted One. Chosen by God to manifest his/her all in this dream called "life."

Thyme CRYSTALS: Q. In the newsletter the Lemurian Elders mentioned crystals and gemstones. I am drawn to crystals and rocks and in fact I have inherited a crystal piece from my grandfather. My father recently passed away and when he died I took my grandfather's crystal from my father's home and now have it in my home. My grandfather had this crystal for years, long before they were fashionable with new agers. Could there be information stored in the crystal that I could access? If so how would I go about it? Also, I don't really feel that drawn to gemstones although my grandfather was. I am more drawn to rocks. I feel that having rocks around me helps ground me. Is there any messages or information stored in rocks? Any insights to these questions would be greatly appreciated. G.D. A. Your grandfather was a man before his time. What you would call an old soul. Yes, there are many things recorded in crystals. First is your grandfather's energy and memories. Second are memories from the earth in its infancy. Thirdly you may have in your possession a Lemurian record crystal, since two members of your family (perhaps three with your father) have felt to possess it -- it is a powerful one indeed. Lemurian Storytellers are able to read stones and crystals and tell the stories and information residing in them. Although you may not be a Storyteller (we think you were a Crystal Keeper), you can read some of the information by placing it on your forehead in a meditative state. Listen, watch, feel for messages and write them down. They may sound peculiar, ridiculous, you may even feel as though you are making up what you receive. But imagination is the key to wisdom and knowledge. With imagination comes insight, and a connection to the Universe. As you say, crystals and rocks help to ground the body to the earth, while at the same time they bring a spiritual awareness. We used them extensively and many other following cultures have done the same. They are our friends and must be honored and respected. They will even absorb pain for the humans who use them and can be used in healing ceremonies. All humans alive at this time have very important jobs to perform for the healing of mother earth and the human consciousness. You, of course, are one of these. Even those who don't seem to be doing a very good job are just following what they have come here to do. Judge not. Observe all. And love self and others. You can talk to us any time you desire, either through your computer or dreams, visions, and meditations. "The Elders" COCREATION AND UNIVERSAL LAW Q. I've been working on different aspects of my spirituality for only about a year and a half, but even though I'm only 27 I have learned (remembered) so much so quickly. Just recently, co-creation has been playing a major role in my life and my question has to do with the whole co-creation process. I would like to know how the process is completed from beginning to end, from my role to my Spirit guides roles. Obviously there's a lot of information here, maybe if you could send me a synopsis or in point form of how it works. Thank you ever so much for your help! J.A. A. Thank you for your wonderful question. The single Universal Law is that EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING. Within that is the law of >>> Continued to next message... --- Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 [NR] * Origin: Eclectic Lab [604]524-9046 (1:153/831) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 258 CHANNELING Ref: F1B00005 Date: 01/05/98 From: ANDY MANNINGER Time: 01:17pm \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: SNAC Issue Number 23 [2/5] >>> Part 2 of 5... attraction -- broken down into karma (inharmonious) and grace (harmonious). Everyone and everything is in a state of evolution, growth and learning. So everything one does, thinks and feels affects not only self growth but that of the entire Universe!! In Lemuria we used the sacred symbol of the spider web to illustrate this. The good news is that with Universal Wisdom, which includes many facets like forgiveness, detachment, unconditional love, surrender, trust, and quite a few others, one can affect changes in self and others that feel harmonious and add to the grace of the Universe. There are other very good books on this subject.

I discovered mine over a period of time lasting from about 1989 to 1993. A friend of a friend, of a friend introduced me to a man dying of Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, hard swollen tumors all over his neck and groin, given about 6 months to live by his oncologist, 18 at the outside if he took intensive chemotherapy. I asked him if he would let me work with him awhile. He asked my fee. I said nothing, but I'll take a donation if I can help you, after I help you. Sixth months later after doing intense hands on work for 3 to 4 times a week he came back to see me beaming smugly from a visit to his oncologist, who was a little bit surprised and probably miffed, (knowing what I know now about the medical establishment) not being able to find a trace of a tumor anywhere on his body. My friend quoted the oncologist as saying, "Well, interesting. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. (I might add here that the man had elected to refuse all chemotherapy or further surgery or radiation while he worked with me.) My friend asked the doctor if he wanted to know what he was doing. The doctor said he wasn't interested. The doctor continued, "But you need to know that cancer is still there in you and you could die of it in 20 or 30 years." The man was 59 when I met him. I got a generous donation, and wound up seeing quite a few AIDS and cancer patients. I healed some and saw some die too. The final result was that some three years later of full time healing practice, I finally began to believe maybe there was a powerful energy that I was opening to. It came home forcefully one day when I was feeling discouraged, and to make myself feel better I tried a little exercise. I took a piece of 8 1/2 by 11 paper and went back in my mind over the last 3 years and wrote down the name of each person who had ever made a remark, that was both unsolicited and emphatic, to me about the strength and power of my healing touch. With the page crammed full (and I write fairly small) in less than 20 minutes, I started to feel better, and decided it would be OK to raise my own self esteem, regarding all aspects of the work I do in the way of energy projection and healing, hands on or at a distance. That first cancer patient I healed, did regress and die several years later, unfortunately. The reasons were basically that he was unable to come to terms with some fundamental issues that were lying at a deeper causal level. In retrospect I now know that I virtually burned the cancer out of him with the light energy coming through me. At first I had thought it to be the breath work and Reichian therapy I was using on him that did the most good, but he never did learn to breathe properly anyway, at least not really enough, even during sessions to really help. In spite of my best efforts, he would almost always go into a deeply altered state of sleep in session, and finding it almost impossible to wake him, I simply took advantage of the time to flow all the healing love and light I could focus on through my hands and other centers. When the relapse came years later, I wasn't the only one wondering why he didn't come back to me for daily sessions, but in hindsight I think it was a case where I virtually healed him almost against his own will, by sheer energy flow.

Divine. Yet hesitant, we deny our dance, and with measured beat, cling to desolation, lovelessness and loss, anonymous and hollow. Hoping for an echo of clarity, we interrogate the silent Void. A distant melody, faint but clear, reverberates. "Sing to me. Answers will frolic like questions, and doubts will evaporate like poetry in sunlight. When you choose Life, Life chooses you. A Golden Rainbow will come, a shower, washing clean your fears. Lay down your burdens and rejoice." Phrases hang in the wind like yesterday's laundry, brows furrow in soil fecund with imagination, while lips form words unwittingly. Who? We ask, like awakening owls -- who? "All of you," the Universe replies. What? "A Golden Life." Why? "Because it is time." When. "Now." Lauren O.
