"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just
because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in
ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you
yourself test and judge to be true."

Parents must teach children to appreciate those who are different, those who believe
differently; teach them the openness that they need to live in a pluralistic world
where others have their unique ways, their life and culture; teach them the value of
human diversity and the narrow-mindedness of a provincial outlook; give them the
tools to live in a world of differences without feeling threatened, without forcing
their ways or their will on others; teach them that it never helps to hurt another
of our brothers or sisters.
Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001), founder of Hinduism Today
Have you heard the universe talking lately? Have you heard the messages that are there
every moment of every day? Have you heard the inner promptings of Spirit?
I remember when I first started hearing a voice inside my head, I was frightened. I
was still a child, and this voice would speak to me very loudly... I recall being very
frightened about this, and feeling worried. The questions that came up were: Was I crazy?
Where was this voice coming from? Did others also hear this?
Now at that time, I was an insecure child and did not risk asking anyone about this. I
definitely did not want to be ridiculed or found to be crazy. So, I tried to block out that
inner voice as much as I could, because I was frightened.
Then years later, I started to hear the wind, the birds, and everything else in nature speak.
I would be sitting quietly underneath a tree, and would hear patterns in the wind... I would
hear messages... Now please understand that I am not saying that the wind or the birds spoke
in words... It simply was as if the sounds of nature became a focus for my awareness. The sounds
allowed my Higher Self to communicate with me in a form I could understand.
There also I felt a little worried... Maybe I was losing my mind or having hallucinations? Yet
the wisdom that came to me at those times, the inspiration and the peace, really left no room
for doubt. The Universe was communicating with me through its many voices and mouths.
Now these days, this has gone ever further... Everything and everyone brings me messages from
Spirit. Let me give you an example. The other day I was in conversation with someone. Just as
I started to say something which was negative, the phone rang. I realized that, through this
interruption, I was being prevented from speaking the words I was about to say. When youre
paying attention, you will see that your guidance is coming from all directions.
How else does God speak? Another example: Lets say you are getting ready to eat or drink something,
and the drink or food slips away from you or falls out of your hand. What is God saying? This food
is not for you, at least not at this time.
How else does the Universe talk to us? In every single little (or big) event in our lives. If nothing
seems to be going right, maybe youre not headed in the right direction. If you keep trying to call
someone and their phone is busy, youre being told that you are not to speak to this person now.
When we are doing the right thing at the right time, then there are no blockages, no restrictions.
Listen to what your world is saying. Is you car battery low? Well, how is your own battery... are
you feeling low on energy, feeling like you could use a boost? Do you have a slow leak in your car
tires? Where in your life do you have a loss of air...a loss of vitality, of support, of life? Is
your car overheating? Perhaps you've allowed certain situations or people in your life to get you
to the "boiling point"...
Another way that messages will come to you are through things you overhear. A lot of times I may
be asking myself a question internally, and I will hear someone outside yell a loud no. Now I am
aware that the person is not speaking to me (at least they are not aware that they are), yet the
message is for me. Start listening... Pay attention to all the messages that are being played for
you. When you turn on the radio, what is the first song you hear? How is that a message for you?
EVERYTHING is a message for you. When my computer jams, I know its either time for me to take a
break, or that Im not to be working in that program or on the computer at all at that time. One
morning I came in to the office with the thought of doing a typesetting job for someone. I wanted
to do it right away and get it done before the phones got busy. When I turned on the computer, it
refused to boot up... it didnt do a thing. So rather than keep trying to get it to work, I realized
there was a message here. I understood that I was not to work on the computer at that time.
Now my mind felt a little upset at this... after all I had a commitment and had to get the typesetting
job done. But my aware self realized that the message was no typesetting now. So I went on to do
other things. About one hour later, the phone rang. The client was calling to cancel the job! I was
very thankful that I had listened to the message that came through my computer... I would have worked
one hour on a job that was no longer needed.
You also can use all of your messages from the universe... They are always present and they are your
helpers. The trick is to start paying attention. To open your awareness to everything.
Everything happens for a reason... we simply need to look for the message and we will find it is very
clear. If at first you dont seem to see the messages, keep looking (and listening). After all, as with
anything else, the more you do it, the better you get. So...STOP, CLOSE YOUR EYES, and LISTEN.

Hey! Listen up!
Babaji spoke generally of unity. We are all equal, despite the country we come from, and
national differences should be ignored. We are all a unity. We must shed all jealousy and
envy because they are harmful. We are all one with each other and with God.
April 3, 1980
Remove hatred and jealousy from the heart. the same thing has been repeatedly written
in the Bible and spoken through Christ. Where there is jealousy and hatred, there is no
religion. If there had been humanity in people, there would have been no necessity of making
atom bombs. Years before, people would have left fighting instruments.
Dec. 24, 1982
The seeds of righteousness have been sown in your hearts for you to kindle the hearts
of others. I seek the general good for all people in the world. You must all do work to
perfect humanity. By saving humanity, everyone will be saved. Learn to love your religion
and consider yourself a soldier of your country. Feel this in your heart. You must work to
elevate humanity and eradicate pride, jealousy and hatred.
Dec. 26, 1982.
A paradigm shift is underway, and a bright, bold new post-material, post-scarcity era called
The Age of Infinity is rapidly emerging.
The Age of Infinity will be characterized by infinite power and potential that mirrors that
nature of the universe: quantum computing, unlimited memory, nanotechnology, digital universe,
virtual reality, free energy (zero point energy and myriad others), genetic engineering, life
extension, AI, elemental transmutation, teleportation, infinite universal-human
mind/consciousness -- and much, much more. All of these vectors are pointing to infinity.
And it will be quite a ride. If only we can make through the next 15-20 years. I am confident
that we will.
How can I make such claims about the future? Simply because these technologies and sciences
are characteristics of the nature of nature and we need only unfold what already is and "ride
the horse in the direction its going" to make them tangible.
All science is an awakening to what already is. Our inventions and systems simply mimic what
nature has already perfected with utmost efficiency through intelligent networks and least
action principles. Through time, as our glasses become more and more refined, we're able to
see more deeply into the infinite fecundity, creativity, power, potential, and perfection of
the cosmos and thereby create successively more successful theories, maps, metaphors and
meanings to represent it.
In this essay, I'll discuss my views about the infinite power and potential of the universe and
what I see to be the obsolete, inauthentic and deadly scarcity-based economic systems which are
killing the planet. I say obsolete because we now know they are inaccurate thanks to quantum
physics. I say inauthentic because they do not reflect what is and are organized to maintain,
create or increase the wealth of the haves. I say deadly, because they are killing us.
This is not a point of view you're likely to hear discussed in economic or political circles, so
perhaps you'll tell me if it's fresh. In one discussion at least, I seemed to cause a Yale
micro-economist to run the other way when my facts undermined fundamental tenets of his profession
that 1) "man could never have enough" and 2) nature was scarce. When I suggested it was only our
thinking that was scarce, and after making point after point to support my view, he finally realized
the absurdity of his claim that 50 billion galaxies and 100 million times 100 million stars were not
enough! Such is the depth of the humanity's belief in scarcity and our leading institutions'
commitment to it. As I will attempt to show, not only is this thinking wrong-headed and deadly,
but it is both a fantasy and an addiction.

"There is a creeping awareness that something ANTI-HUMAN AND POWERFULLY DELETERIOUS TO ALL
LIFE ON THE PLANET is going on. Even the World Health Organization in 2003 said that they
expect the global cancer rates to increase 50% by the year 2020. The infant mortality,
which began to go down when they had a nuclear test ban in 1963, is now rising around the
world. This is an indicator of radioactive pollution."

The sin a king incurs by neglecting for a single day to protect his subjects from
fear is such that he does not attain to end of his sufferings (for it) in hell til
after a thousand years.
From the Mahabharata, Volume III, Shanti Parva, p. 158 by Ganguli
Little one, be still. You are indeed clearing much at this time. Take slow and gentle steps, be kind to
yourself, this is but a process. Much dross falls to the wayside and in this there may be some pain.
Know however it is only the pain of not letting go. Allow what is to be to be. Do not fight the process.
You are always safe and always cared for. Your higher self has a much bigger plan for you than the one
path you are currently treading. Know this
is the truth of your soul, and in many ways, this time has been delayed and delayed again. It will be
delayed no longer. Acceptance is the key. In the truth of no-time, you already know the outcome, and
all will be well. Do not be afraid, child.
You are meant to be with this person at this particular stage. Be open and willing and all will fall
into place. The work is yours to do, of course, but this help would be of great benefit.
Little one a lull has fallen on the world you inhabit in which there is a time of quieter energies.
There has been a definite peacefulness among humankind and not as much activity among the ships. This
is soon to pass within the next few weeks. No doubt you have felt this energy shift, and many, as a
result, may be feeling flat or a lacking of energy.
A new phase is occurring which will peak over your Christmas period, a time of many waves of light and
sound being sent to earth. These sound waves are being impulsed at a level unable to be heard by your
ear, but that will greatly benefit the speeding of your DNA awakening. Much change is to come over this
time. In order to make the most of this time, it is advisable to spend more time outside, beneath the
stars or the sun, so there is less interference from buildings and such. I recommend for everyone much
time in starlight, it contains much information of benefit.
Dear one, I speak of initiation and the hardships that occur here for many. Many speak of hard times
during life that become a doorway into a different way of living, of perceiving the world, a positive
step, in fact. This is the initiation I speak of.
I tell you, the many hardships are not usually necessary and that this stepping up and out process can be completed without the pain. This is a concept so far from human
experience that it is extremely difficult for you to understand, I acknowledge this.
For such a long time the human race has sought enlightenment through hardship and I tell you now that
this is not to be the case for much longer. Throughout your ascension you are becoming aware as a race
that no longer is it necessary to implement pain and suffering in order to learn. This is one of the
most major steps a race can take on its journey through ascension and it will indeed take many years.
However I ask you to ponder this and all it means. What would it be like to live a life without suffering?
With total acceptance? This is not to say that there will not be needs or wants, desires or even obstacles.
But that the emotional attachment you have to such processes are no longer.
In this way, your entire karmic blueprint is being rewritten. Never will there not be karma, however as
you evolve, you will come to a space of such acceptance and understanding of these concepts, that karma,
suffering and pain will indeed be almost forgotten.
Imagine a place of joy and ease, but not without striving, without goals or pathways. Envision a world
like your own, but one in which every single person is free free of the self-loathing they carry, free
of their pasts, free of their future, free of painful attachment.
I give you a glimpse of your future to encourage those who have felt the flatness of this energy of late.
Do not despair, do not give up. Contain your own energy within yourself, do not let others sway you. Stay
strong on your path, for you are truly heading in the right direction, I confirm this to you. To all of you
who happen to read this. I am Ptah and I say to you you are free.
Be still, be kind.

Ptah
The words "for" + "give" originated before 900AD from the Old English. "For"- is a prefix meaning
"away" and "Give" means to present voluntarily, without expecting compensation. To forgive means
to grant pardon without harboring resentment or expecting compensation.
You might be thinking, "So how can forgiveness work for me?"
Forgiveness is not about anyone else. It's about you. Your health. Your joy. Your abundance.
I've said before that we're creators - formed like our Creator. There's lots of information
around to substantiate this. As Mike Dooley says: "Thoughts become things." We create what
we think about - consciously and subconsciously. This is a universal law which, like gravity,
constantly operates.
So firstly, if you haven't truly forgiven someone, you're still attached to them energetically
and even if they aren't in your life, someone else will present you with a similar situation
that resonates with your feelings.
Secondly, emotions are energy in motion. If you hold on to resentment, it could build up in your
body and make you sick, (because the First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be
created or destroyed). Healing/joyful energy can't fill the space where resentment is sitting.
Forgiveness isn't just saying, "Oh, I forgive him - but I'll never forget what he did to me."
And it isn't gushing sweetly with a forced smile, "Of course I forgive her," while ignoring resentful
feelings, because 'nice people don't feel terrible things like that'. Nor is it graciously forgiving
someone and then feeling superior because you're better than them, because they're the bad guy.
True forgiveness occurs when you realise that your life will improve dramatically when you cut all
bitter attachments because these vibrate at a lower energy and will continue to bring hurtful experiences to you.
Let your past go. If it's difficult start with, "Thank you for the willingness to forgive ____".
Repeat this till you feel a change. Then give thanks for all you love and would love.
And that my friend, is how forgiveness will improve your life.
The major focus for worry at this time is 'Bird Flu'. It is all we are reading or hearing.
Is it no wonder? We are being told that there is going to be a Bird Flu Pandemic which is
going to kill millions of people over the world. This is succeeding in scaring many people.
Fear lowers our immune system. By implanting fear, a very low energy, 'the powers that be'
open people to a lowered immune system and a belief that they will catch Bird Flu. The more
who buy into this fear, the more who will die. We have been told in the past that there
would be an epidemic which would kill many people ... SARS, Swine Flu ... last year's flu.
None of these affected as many people as we were told that it would. None of them killed
the number of people we were told they would kill. But the reality of it not happening was
because it was not bought by the collective consciousness ... like Hurricane Rita that
followed Katrina, it was defused by a consciouness that spelled out "enough of this
disaster stuff."
The best defense for the Bird Flu is not to allow worry and fear to control you. Instead
of being fearful, take control of the situation. Increase the amount of Vitamin C that
you are taking. Chinese Star Anise is supposed to prevent and cure flu. There are many
items available to boost your immune system . Instead of buying into the fear as expected,
help your immune system by enabling it to fight the flu.
You can also do a daily immune booster healing statement. Using your pendulum, ask if you
have infection in any of your bodies? Viruses? Detrimental bacteria? Detrimental microbes?
Parasites? Flu? Then repeat this healing statement several times. "I thank my Angels for
removing all signs, symptoms, side-effects and pre-dispositions to (Infection, Viruses,
Detrimental bacteria, Detrimental microbes, Parasites, Flu) from all my bodies on all
levels sending it to the Earth's Crystalline Energy Grid for transmutation replacing
it with a radiantly healthy immune system."
...............
It is not the worship of a person that is crucial, but the steadiness and depth of your
devotion to the task. Life itself is the Supreme Guru; be attentive to its lessons and
obedient to its commands. When you personalize their source, you have an outer Guru;
when you take them from life directly, the Guru is within.
