<br />
My father was one of the stolen Georgia Tann Babies.<br />
<div>
He wasn't famous..did not get adopted out to a rich actress nor a wealthy affluent family.</div>
<div>
The depth of horror he must have endured as a child wasn't known to me until our local paper ran an article concerning the Georgia Tann unmarked baby graves.</div>
<div>
They were looking for donations for Gravestones for the murdered children of Georgia Tann.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Has I read the article.. I was filled with a deep compassion for those murdered children.<br />
So many were unknown graves..no names for the lost stolen babies.<br />
I wondered who they were and as that happened....<br />
I began to wonder about my own genetic identity.</div>
<div>
It really had not been important till that moment or so I had always told myself..<br />
Perhaps it's the gray hairs that began to show up in my mirror on my head.</div>
<div>
Perhaps it was the fact that after my brothers death,my dads death,and my moms death,<br />
I felt alone.<br />
Somehow reading that article brought all of this emotional stuff to the surface.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh I have a wonderful family.</div>
<div>
Beautiful grown children,and wonderful grandchildren. </div>
<div>
Great longtime friends and lots of love from a wonderful man.<br />
It's been a rough life,but a good rich life in many ways.</div>
<div>
But I felt alone.</div>
<div>
It defied logic.<br />
It defied the reality of my loving family.</div>
<div>
So as I read that article on those stolen babies unmarked graves; I began to wonder..who is my family? Who were my grandparents on my dads side of my family?<br />
On my moms side?<br />
And just what is my real biological last name supposed to be?<br />
My last name given at birth belonged to a man who adopted my dad.<br />
A man who had a steel plate in his head and was quite the abuser; according to some of the stories I was told.<br />
A man I had never met and never wanted to know.<br />
<br />
You see I grew up without extended family.</div>
<div>
We rarely saw any cousins, and all other grandparents died before I was three years old.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mother was always in an lifelong feud with her side of the family.</div>
<div>
Needless to say I did not see that family branch often and when I did I was more than glad when the stressful relative encounter was over.<br />
<br />
My dad did manage to reconnect to his biological family.<br />
but his mom had remarried and had another family.<br />
My dad had lots of half brothers and sisters he never got to grow up with.<br />
He didn't hang around with them long, nor did he stay connected to them during my childhood.<br />
I met them maybe three times in my life.<br />
Truly I do not believe that he ever got over the experience of him and his brother being stolen out of his moms yard by strangers and whisked away to a horror house at a young age.<br />
<br />
I'm writing a book on the exact details of who,did this,how,and whatever else shows up regarding the experience.<br />
Georgia Tann stole a part of my ancestral identity from me and my brother before I was even born.<br />
My childhood was filled with the abuse that Georgia Tann's horror house had inflicted on my father as a child.<br />
I now know he had PTSD.<br />
I didn't know that then.<br />
He never could banish his demons.<br />
He lost the war for his wellness<br />
My brother and I paid the price all our lives of the effects of being the descendants of one Georgia Tann stolen baby adoption ring.<br />
So did my mother.<br />
<br />
<br />
It took years for me to forgive my father for what he did to us.<br />
I did not see him for 20 yrs.<br />
I found out through an insurance company letter that he had died.<br />
That's been 7 or so years ago.<br />
<br />
I wanted to know, no...had to know who my relatives were,<br />
and what my biological name was supposed to be.<br />
Feeling the need to reconnect to family,to myself was growing strong in me.<br />
Never felt the need for that connection till now.<br />
The feeling surprised me.<br />
<br />
Another interesting thing happened<br />
In that moment of exploring who Georgia Tann was and what that home did to children..<br />
then realizing what my father must have endured as a child.<br />
One day while sitting on a porch listening to nature and feeling the winds of a beautiful day on my face..<br />
for the very first time..compassion for my father as a abused tormented scared lost child washed over me.<br />
That's when I knew.<br />
I stopped the abuse cycle on my side of the family.<br />
I did not pass that horror onto my children.<br />
Love won! against huge overwhelming odds<br />
For the very first time I could let it all go.<br />
<br />
I'm currently discovering the family tree on Ancester.com and finding out what a diverse genetic background that flows in my veins.<br />
It's wonderful.<br />

My deep gratitude to those who helped me along my journey.. I love you all..<br />
and to Kimberly Talboo for all her help on my family tree.. couldn't have done it without you.<br />
Thank you<br />

It's the end of the world again..wasn't that supposed to happen in 2012?<br />
<div>
A Tetrad of 4 Lunar Eclipses that turn the moon blood red have many people claiming that the end of the world is once again upon us. Those who are believing this end of the world stuff are using the Bible's "End Times Prophecy as their reference.</div>
<div>
NASA has a timeline table for all lunar eclipse events going back millennials.</div>
<div>
So lets take a peek at how often these Blood Moon Tetrads show up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
From 1900-1999 there was 1 Tetrad<br />
From 1600-1699 there were 3 Tetrads<br />
From 1700-1800 0 Tetrads<br />
From 1500-1599 there were 8 Tetrads<br />
From 1400-1499 there was 6 Tetrads<br />
From 1300-1399 there were 2 Tetrads<br />
From 1100-1200 there were 0 Tetrads<br />
From 1000-1099 there were 4 Tetrads<br />
<br />
<a href="http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEcat5/LEcatalog.html">further timeline research here</a><br />
And the list goes on all the way back into time into the BC or BCE period as far back as 2901-3000BC<br />
So these Lunar Tetrads are fairly common uncommon events that have occurred many times since the birth of Christ and many times before Christ was born.<br />
So whats the current hoopla about?<br />
Oh yes this current Tetrad happens on Jewish religious holidays and follows a partial solar eclipse very few places in the world saw.<br />
So i went investigating to see if and when this had ever happened on special religious holidays and this is what i found.<br />
According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Moon_Prophecy">Wikipedia </a>there have been 62 tetrads since 1st century AD and of those 62.. 8 have coincided with both Jewish holidays.<br />
Solar eclipses and lunar eclipses tend to come in pairs..so it isn't rare that one follows the other.<br />
a lot of good info on this can be found <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/10-facts-solar-eclipse-march-2015.html">here</a>.<br />
One of the rare solar eclipses happened this year on the vernal equinox..and two weeks later a Lunar eclipse occurred. Another uncommon common event that happens again in 2034,then 2053 and 2072.<br />
more info on past and future solar events can be found <a href="http://earthsky.org/space/how-often-do-we-have-a-march-equinox-solar-eclipse">here</a>.<br />
I'm rather tired of GloomDoom End of the world fear mongers .<br />
I've been told all my life that we could all die soon and that the whole planet was going to be ruined and deformed by radioactive waste,hit by an asteroid,done in by global warming. killed by plagues,,etc..pick your favorite end of the world scene here.. and now people want to tell me God is coming and its the end times????!<br />
FINE! WONDERFUL! HOOOORAH!!!!!<br />
Oh wait...Well there is just one little thing regarding that..<br />
What Jesus said..is that no man knowth the hr or the time but the Father.. and that there will be false prophets speaking in his name....for the whole quote and more go<a href="http://genius.com/Holy-bible-kjv-mark-13-annotated/"> here</a><br />
I'm just wondering if things like this is what he was talking about.<br />
What if it was the end of the world? What are you going to change?<br />
What could you do about it?<br />
NOTHING,ZIP NOTTA ZERO..NOT ONE THING!<br />
So stop worrying..preparing for it won't matter..whatever you would do different you better get started... Try being a better human being.. try being kinder..try choosing love instead of fear...try blessings and gratitude instead of anger and complaining ..try walking the talk of peace and love for yourself and all life.. try helping those who need it with an open heart..that would be great....After all..you ain't promised the next 5 minutes much less tomorrow.<br />
So go outside and enjoy the lunar eclipse and the beautiful supermoon with your family..<br />
it will be a wonderful moment.<br />
<br />

I am quietly frustrated .</div>
<br />
<div>
Sometimes it overwhelms me.</div>
<br />
<div>
As I watch<br />
<br />
I see many who hold to their fears,<br />
<br />
their anger,<br />
<br />
as if it is all they have.</div>
<br />
<div>
Maybe it is.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated</div>
<br />
<div>
I observe the things<br />
<br />
in peoples lives that bring them much misery</div>
<br />
<div>
They cannot comprehend<br />
<br />
that </div>
<br />
<div>
Change requires the best of who they are.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated</div>
<br />
<div>
that people would defend<br />
<br />
what their taught<br />
<br />
by authority figures<br />
<br />
to the death</div>
<br />
<div>
Without ever inquiring or ascertaining the validity</div>
<br />
<div>
Killing others while<br />
<br />
claiming justification of something they have never researched</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated</div>
<br />
<div>
The world is spinning into the future<br />
<br />
So many that I see</div>
<br />
<div>
hold on to so much that is anti-life<br />
<br />
refusing to grow ,</div>
<br />
<div>
even holding up their immaturity as a truth and a worthy goal</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated<br />
<br />
at a society</div>
<br />
<div>
that honors greed lust envy,<br />
<br />
the pursuit of their own littleness</div>
<br />
<div>
is held up as virtue<br />
<br />
something to attain </div>
<br />
<div>
While Love is considered a weakness</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated</div>
<br />
<div>
That Love is not understood<br />
<br />
or explored</div>
<br />
<div>
Perceived as something<br />
<br />
it is not</div>
<br />
<div>
Attachment, self serving feelings parade in substitution</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
I am quietly frustrated </div>
<br />
<div>
that many refuse<br />
<br />
to know or believe that<br />
<br />
At the core of their being<br />
<br />
they are beautiful </div>
<br />
<div>
rejecting that truth when it is told to them</div>
<br />
<div>
Loudly proclaiming their warped disturbance as all there is to Life</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Why would anyone want only discomfort as a reality?</div>
<br />
<div>
Only pain as a choice?</div>
<br />
<div>
Only confusion as a source?</div>
<br />
<div>
Only death as a life?</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
They are afraid to live with Truth.</div>
<br />
<div>
Being Truth,<br />
<br />
Living Truth<br />
<br />
requires courageous heart</div>
<br />
<div>
People are afraid</div>
<br />
<div>
They are comfortable with that</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
They would rather have their illusion of life<br />
<br />
than the unknown they perceive</div>
<br />
<div>
It is easier to just go along<br />
<br />
with their confusion</div>
<br />
<div>
Just go along with the least of life</div>
<br />
<div>
Not Rocking the boat</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
That is not living!</div>
<br />
<div>
All the joy goes away<br />
<br />
when that is all one does<br />
<br />
throughout their EarthWalk</div>
<br />
<div>
It is a LIE that conforming is a easier way to live.</div>
<br />
<div>
Conforming to less life is a walking death</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Eyes open but not seeing</div>
<br />
<div>
Ears hear noises but are deaf</div>
<br />
<div>
People speak and nothing is said</div>
<br />
<div>
Peoples hearts beat and their is no life</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Acting only in automatic mode</div>
<br />
<div>
never questioning why they do </div>
<br />
<div>
or noticing that what they do is an active self destruct</div>
<br />
<div>
As they walk Zombiefied to the grave</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Quick to defend anti-life as life</div>
<br />
<div>
policies of death</div>
<br />
<div>
harmful ,destructive,as a virtue</div>
<br />
<div>
never questioning what has always been</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
Defending the indefensible</div>
<br />
<div>
rather that than be wrong</div>
<br />
<div>
Marching en-mass towards self destruction</div>
<br />
<div>
As I watch in quite frustration</div>

Scientists looking into the genetics of,have verified what Inuit history has long held: That earlier peoples from Siberia were the first to populate the most northern regions of planet Earth, and that they died out as the Inuit were coming in.<br />
These Paleo-Eskimos, as they’re called, arrived about 5,000 years ago from Siberia, CBC News reported, migrating from Alaska to Greenland and living for about 4,000 years. They died out about 700 years ago, CBC News said. DNA testing on remains from that period showed no match to Inuit or First Nations people of today.</div>

I was driving the other day and came to a crossroads.<br />
I looked up and there on a wire sat a large hawk with a red head.<br />
I looked at hims and said "hello friend"<br />
He looked at me ..bowed his head with closed eyes...then opened them again and stared right at me.<br />
Our eyes locked for a second..I said Thank You and Blessings dear one... made my turn and drove on.<br />
Blessed and touched for a moment that lives with me forever.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-27765062666171992802010-11-25T09:35:00.094-06:002011-07-12T09:06:11.030-05:00Calling the Peoples of Earth<b>Written by FaithRMichaels</b><br />

Afraid self important people sitting in royal houses<br />
eating fine food<br />
drinking fine wines and liquors<br />
blustering their arrogance <br />
playing like little children<br />
king of the hill.<br />
<br />
Imaginary Rulers of pretend Kingdoms<br />
In the name of God, King, Country<br />
rattling sabers<br />
muttering threats of retaliation<br />
War<br />
firing their destructive toys<br />
<br />
Death is what they bring<br />
Death is what they teach<br />
horror is their dream<br />
terror their tool<br />
fear the weapon of choice<br />
Control their game<br />
<br />
Their nightmare established <br />
that they may feel safe<br />
Teaching traditions of isolation ,<br />
False concepts <br />
superiority,race,separatism,<br />
Contaminating all like a bad virus <br />
<br />
<br />
People of Earth tolling in despair<br />
Praying to the Gods and Goddesses created<br />
for assistance<br />
asking for deliverance<br />
not understanding that they are the deliverance<br />
they have been waiting on<br />
<br />
It is time now<br />
We the People Of Mother Earth<br />
WE the children of Earth<br />
Children of Life<br />
Do not require this illusion anymore<br />
Cast off your shackles of fear <br />
<br />
Listen up Pretend leaders <br />
We abolish your imaginary authority..<br />
without us you are powerless<br />
It is time now<br />
Warriors of Earth<br />
Stand!<br />
<br />
Take notice ye who would rule the world<br />
Ye are naught but fearful children<br />
playing with dangerous toys <br />
playing at being rulers of imaginary kingdoms<br />
Enough!<br />

Lyrics:<br />
I'm not right<br />
you're not wrong<br />
We both know what this love<br />
of ours is built upon<br />
We are shadows<br />
tiny sparrows<br />
safe inside<br />
clear blue sky<br />
of another storm<br />
moving in and out of time<br />
In and out of the circle of life.<br />
<br />
We are children of the angels<br />
Keepers of the fire<br />
We are children of the angels<br />
Reaching for the light<br />
We are not strangers<br />
we are all brothers<br />
I know we came here to love each other<br />
Here, in the circle of life.<br />
<br />
Each one thinks he<br />
has an answer<br />
Each one believes that he can see<br />
the way, the only one<br />
truth lies waiting<br />
was always waiting<br />
like a love<br />
peaceful dove<br />
right there inside your soul<br />
from another place and time<br />
Moving into the circle of light.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-91982820313500071512010-09-17T09:22:00.000-05:002010-09-17T09:22:58.057-05:00The lessons of the TreesWritten By FaithRMichaels<br />
<br />
I told someone that this being would be taking a walk to listen to the trees.<br />
<br />
The beautiful Standing Ones have much to say if one listens<br />
<br />
They whisper their life story in the wind.<br />
<br />
Some are very very old<br />
<br />
many here are young by tree age<br />
<br />
The Standing Ones know nothing of time as we understand it<br />
<br />
They understand existence.<br />
<br />
The Standing Ones understand resilience<br />
<br />
They understand going with the flow<br />
<br />
They teach about nowness, hereness, Isness<br />
<br />
For this is what is experienced<br />
<br />
When this being connects with the Standing Ones an eternal peace flows from them to me<br />
<br />
In humility I listen<br />
<br />
humbled by an ancient understanding<br />
<br />
Being is all there is<br />
<br />
through storms,through drought,through floods,winters,spring summer fall<br />
<br />
The Standing Ones simply are..<br />
<br />
The heart hears them say<br />
<br />
HUUUUU they whisper with the voice of the wind<br />
<br />
I am.... Being<br />
<br />
This is the lesson from my relatives today.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-85943342527388081802010-07-06T18:20:00.004-05:002010-07-06T18:58:19.582-05:00Be The Rainbow<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rIulb4eVDjlekY1GCwPqtLVyrQIbe-yUSe8fux6Wm6ZgYhXxcvvwxCQXW74Oh0VIQPDZwNyz6crMHmN4iY5in-D2Rf1TwPxN-u_GhDVjbfCHsYp9Fra81d65gvRL-cTT-iRVmdbgklY/s1600/15_27_51---Rainbow_web.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rIulb4eVDjlekY1GCwPqtLVyrQIbe-yUSe8fux6Wm6ZgYhXxcvvwxCQXW74Oh0VIQPDZwNyz6crMHmN4iY5in-D2Rf1TwPxN-u_GhDVjbfCHsYp9Fra81d65gvRL-cTT-iRVmdbgklY/s400/15_27_51---Rainbow_web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490945933366692338" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.manataka.org/eldersspeak.html">From Elders speak</a><br /><a href="http://www.manataka.org/">Manataka.org</a><br /><br /><br />By Carrie<br /><br />Submitted by Carol Spirit Dove Henderson<br /><br />What you resist is given strength by your resistance. What you fear is given form through your fear. What you accept with grace as simply being what it is can become an opening door into new worlds.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You may fear a future event, but what you fear is not truly that event, but rather the consequences you believe will flow from it. The event you fear may in fact happen. But the consequences of the event, which are the true root of your fear, are completely unknown and completely malleable. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And even the most feared consequences, if they were actually to come, would not be what you think. It is only resistance and judgment that make something unbearable. Within every moment, no matter what the circumstances, there is grace, there is beauty and wonder, and there is love. And within the deepest presence of each moment, there is always peace.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Open, open. Drop the walls of resistance and fear. Drop the blinders that are keeping you from seeing what is all around you, right now. Turn your head. Look up. Look down. See the world through clear eyes. Feel the love that flows in, around and within you. Feel the help and love that surround you like a warm blanket. Go deep within and listen to the river of love and peace that always flows through the center of your heart and through all that is, right now.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Open, open and connect with what is. And in the next moment, connect with what is then. And on and on through the moments of your life. Be deeply present. Inhabit this place of power, the only place where action is possible, the only place where anything is possible, this moment, right now.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Feel the energy in your body; feel its tingling aliveness. Feel the clarity of your mind in this moment. See the doors and windows flying open and feel the wind blowing through, clearing away the fear, the judgment, the doubt. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And now, look down at your feet. See that you are standing on fertile ground and little shoots of grass are pushing up through the soil all around you. Millions and millions of possibilities, growing and pushing toward the sun of faith, watered by the gentle rain of love. And now lift your face to that sun and see the rainbow that forms in the gentle shower of love that is always there. You are that rainbow. You are that mixture of sun and rain that makes up life. You are the beauty that forms when everything is shining with what it actually is, when you allow yourself simply to be.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Stand now within that sun, that rain. Be the rainbow of peace and beauty, joy and love. And declare yourself to the world, right now, in this moment, exactly as you are, exactly as all is: I am.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-65644042473642287562010-06-21T19:45:00.006-05:002010-07-06T19:08:47.897-05:00We Do Not BegWritten by<br />Faith-R-Michaels<br /><br />Sooo many people believe that prayer is about begging a divine Deity to acquiesce to the request being made.Many Believe it is about bargaining like unto this....I will be really good,I promise to serve if you just grant this request... or sacrifice....Prayer is not about begging,or bargaining it is not about bribery.<br /><br />If something happens that is contrary to the request in prayer being asked then people are bewildered or angry.<br />Sometimes they say there is no GOD! He ,She,It did not answer my prayers!!<br /><br />STOP TELLING CREATION WHAT TO DO!<br />NOT EVERYTHING YOU ASK FOR IS GOOD FOR YOU OR THE PERSON YOU ASK IT FOR!<br />YOU ARE NOT WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR ALL!<br /><br />Prayer is about coming into agreement or harmonic resonance with Creation,with Spirit,or the life force, whatever you wish to call the unifying force.<br />You ,I ,and all of Creation is Spirit manifesting itself into life forms for experience. .<br /><br />Prayer is a time for listening for guidance.<br />It is a time of connection,renewal,balance, and direction.<br />It is a time of recieving so that your cup may be filled.<br />It is not a time to beg or bargain for favors.<br />It is a time for opening up to the wisdom within yourself.<br />It is a time of contemplation on what is the wisest choice.<br />It is a time to say not mine but thy will be done.<br /><br />We are listening for the truth or the heart of the Matter.<br />It is a time to receive the Blessings from the Holy so that you can walk in a more profound way of being.<br />It is a time for grace,a time for healing ,THAT is what prayer is for.<br />It is the time when you realize the sacredness and your connection with this source of all life. <br />It is time for you to realise how precious you are,how beautiful you are and how empowered you can be from these connections ...these moments of prayer.<br />I do not care how you pray or what name term you choose to call this praying...there is only ONE Creator no matter by what name you choose to give this Life force and LOVE IS ALL!<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3cWvOtbdgM&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3cWvOtbdgM&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-28333041301136982362010-06-20T09:53:00.005-05:002010-06-20T11:41:53.853-05:00Healing the World<a href="http://www.grandmotherscouncil.com/">The 13 Indigenous Grand-Mothers have a mission.</a><br /><br /><br />Their Mission is to bring healing ,wisdom,and real Earth time solutions to the problems facing the world today. They have been called to gather the four directions, to show us all by example the ancient ways . The GrandMothers are teaching the sacred knowledge regarding the connectedness of all living things. Like a pebble in a pond the ripples of what they are being, are reaching out and creating a resonance within the heart of all life.<br /><br /><br />The Earth Mother is calling us to grow with her as she prepares to move to the next level.<br /><br />Part of the Being State of the next level is self responsibility.<br /><br />We ...the children of the Earth have existed upon this planet in a reacting mode only untill now.<br />It is time to grow up. Time to be responsible stewards and Co-Creators.<br /><br />Time to be what we truly are.<br /><br />What are we?<br /><br />We are a divine spark of Creation with consciousness and that consciousness is what allows us to be Conscious co creators with life.<br /><br />I heard the question spoken. "how do we maintain being connected?"<br /><br />This question was asked when I spoke within the group of 8 that was created after the GrandMothers finished speaking. The GrandMothers had addressed the subject of Gulf Oil and polluted waters in the Gulf at the end of the conference.<br /><br />My answer to that question was and is this: Just see it done. Bless it... May the Blessings Be.<br />Then walk the talk ... The key to Consciousness is action. In other words if you want to walk in consciousness as an aware Co-Creator two things must occur.<br /><br />The first action is an inner one..ceremony,contemplation, connecting with the source, see it done, not how it is done, just see it done, Blessing it.<br /><br />The second action is a physical one to manifest it here within the Earth world.<br />Do not be attached to the outcome. Your attachment to a specific outcome will create resistance,which will be in the way and limiting the Divine to a certain expression of being.<br /><br />Just know it is done and know it will be manifested for the highest good of all.<br /><br />One example of that action in the physical could be calling your reps in Washington, or joining and assisting within a group that is working to bring clean water and restore balance to our Mother.<br />Perhaps you would work in your community on some level to restore the balance of Nature within your sphere of influence or teach the young ones etc.<br /><br />A Blessing is a powerful thing for it connects one with the source from the heart which is the connection to Soul...the center of creation manifestation within us.<br /><br /><br />We do not have a Soul ...We ARE Soul..That is what we truly are.<br /><br />We are learning what we as Soul can do and what our purpose as conscious beings is.<br /><br />Our purpose is to become conscious Co-Creators with and of the Divine. by being a wider channel for Spiritual expression here within the Earth world and throughout ALL worlds.<br /><br /><br />All is One...One is All and it is Life.<br /><br /><br />The Mother is Calling for she is responding to the call within herself that is a resonance of the Call of All Life everywhere with in ALL the worlds of Spirit to evolve. She is singing the love,the song of Life, so that you may know how much you are loved and how powerful you are as a loved being when you love ALL of the expressions of who you truly are.<br /><br />Walk in Certainty of that knowing while singing that song of life as you resonate with it within you ,out into the world through your own uniqueness of expression.<br /><br /><br /><br />This evolution expresses itself within as a beautiful loving awareness and without by the expressing of that awareness in your everydayness, which in turn brings more abundant life, love and grace manifesting into the worlds.<br /><br /><br /><br />May The Blessings BeFaith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-63992325163107479592010-04-02T07:55:00.008-05:002010-04-02T08:50:17.232-05:00Dancing in the Dawn on the Good Red Road<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjaCHPQVVfVk0SO5ivP9NkV3fmky0QayHJTao43HqAhq-rho8S8Z0yTyo1ySNp2D69ARdnI0QVrgdrrh2e2gDfSAd7RTCJAqvAVbvFJNhzGFFCy0M8DPeDNzED-OJz75VTa0T39hfYyM/s1600/Photo7003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjaCHPQVVfVk0SO5ivP9NkV3fmky0QayHJTao43HqAhq-rho8S8Z0yTyo1ySNp2D69ARdnI0QVrgdrrh2e2gDfSAd7RTCJAqvAVbvFJNhzGFFCy0M8DPeDNzED-OJz75VTa0T39hfYyM/s400/Photo7003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455536981122638978" /></a><br /><br /><br />By Faith-R-Michaels<br /><br />The outer illusion shatters<br />pieces of the false fall away<br />In shards that vanish<br />with the rays of the dawn<br />emerging from the morning fire<br />The Phoenix is reborn<br />With the smell of sweet smudge<br />lingering in the dawn air<br /><br />some lay claim that the Sun was the object of worship for the ancient tribes.<br />No; it was the significance of the sun rising bringing light back into the world,overcoming the dark,<br />that was honored.<br />I danced in the dawn this morning<br />Universal drum<br />World song,<br />My song,<br />Hu song<br />a very powerful moment.<br />The moon was on the set but still in the sky.<br />the dawn light rising in the east<br />as hundreds of birds songs joined with the song of life and me<br />greeting the dawn light..<br />Powerful energies ebb and flow.<br />healing<br />there is oneness.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-84588995977886651172010-03-25T09:44:00.005-05:002010-03-26T21:27:01.806-05:00Building Bridges, Warriors of good heart<strong> By Nicholas DeVincenzo</strong><br /> <br />On an average day at work I will drive over 200 miles, now if I were to drive straight up I would be in deep space. I would be without air to breath, and the warmth of the sun would not have been captured. Why bring this up, what could this possibly have to do with building bridges or defining warriors of good heart? My point is, that there is a thin layer of atmosphere surrounding our dear earth, our home. It sustains life here on our little planet, what we do to it, we do to ourselves. That is the macro, and within our individual bodies is the micro, and what we do to it, we most certainly do to ourselves. There is no difference between the two, we are literally the air we breath and the water we drink. It is common sense and deductive reasoning which dictates that we must be good stewards of the earth, because we are the earth. In moments of rationality and knowing who we are, this becomes self evident. <br /> <br />This is the most important bridge to build between the peoples of the earth, if we are to survive as a species in a good way, or we will live in a cesspool of our own creation. We are always at a crossroad, for each choice we make has consequences. Our spiritually is immature and in its embryonic stage, it has quite literally not kept pace with our technological growth. The reason for this is simple, we are only now finding our center, for we as individuals as well as a whole have been steeped in self-centeredness. None of this mattered to the earth, for eons, but now that we have learned to split the atom, and create things like plastic, and harmful chemicals, it matters much.<br /> <br />The first people of this continent, had lived here for thousands of years without leaving a mark on the environment. The white warriors called them savages, but they were wrong, they saw them as different then themselves, and they were wrong. Which leads me to the Warriors of Good Heart, they come in all colors, and are women as well as men, they are old and they are young, they are maturing spiritual beings that know or at least sense the reality of being one with mother earth. As in the teachings of the Christ figure that God the creator is in all things simultaneously, and what we do to our brothers we do to ourselves. Each of the major religions have this at its essence, it was greed and the illusion of being separate that corrupted the message.<br /> <br />The warriors of good heart need no guns or weapons of war to spread the truth, they are awareness itself, and they are here to build bridges between the tribes of humankind. They come from the four corners of the earth and what they carry in their hearts is peace. The warriors of past ages, belong to the past, with their spears, arrows, swords, guns and bombs they bring only death and destruction; perhaps they had a place, but they have outlived their usefulness. Like the snake who sheds its skin in order to grow, they will also be shed no longer having a strangle hold over the body-spirit of humankind. We the masses must lay poverty at the doorstep of those old warriors, to which poverty and war belongs. <br /> <br />You will know them by their deeds, they hoard wealth and meet in secret places, they are manipulative and are driven by greed and a lust for power. They will build fences around themselves for they are full of a false fear, for what they fear are themselves and in turn life itself. The warriors of good hearts are the opposite of these things, although imperfect their level of imperfection sets them apart, for they are introspective and non manipulative they act out in the open, and face their own demons. Martin Luther King was such a warrior along with many others not as well known, they came to a place where they no longer feared death, for they knew that death was as equal, and as natural in life, as is birth. In so doing they transcended fear itself, and the grip it holds over them and us. <br /> <br />We are all God's children no one tribe has a special place in the creators heart, for God is life, as we are life, the difference is only in our limited perceptions, our egos and our ability to comprehend all that there is.

And the time is now…<br /><br /><br /><br />The time has come for the people of the earth to come together <br />in a good way, and put their talents for the highest good of everyone, <br />the water represents the emotional body, the fire is the mind, <br />the earth is our physical body, the planet earth, the land, <br />and the wind is the spirit, and all together form what we call being human. <br /><br />Human beings have many realms within the self, some of these realms <br />people are not aware of, yet if you see human beings as a whole then <br />everything will begin to make sense, even when people are not aware of it, <br />just like in the same way the geese fly together, as one single spirit, <br />so it is as a human being, this is the spirit of God-dess, as one…<br /><br /><br /><br />Human beings for long have been out of their nature, <br />of his/her own humanness spirit, and created different ways to see themselves, <br />according to a back ground, according to a religion or tradition, <br />according to an environment that leads them to a different beliefs, <br />and they began to feel separated from each other, and felt good in creating so <br />many differences, and those differences became an identity, <br />a false image of the self, a false image of what a human being is truly….<br /><br /><br /><br />For so long this human being has moved so far away from nature, <br />they went into self destructive behavior, and created wars with each other, <br />and separation and destruction is everywhere, for in their own way, <br />a self destructive force was taking place, for they feel separated within the self,<br />a fragmented self, that didn’t recognize themselves anymore as a <br />true human being, for the traditions, religions, backgrounds, languages, <br />created a gap, and limited the minds of the people, <br />in such a deep manner Now is the time for the integration of the self, <br />so human beings can recognize that there are many other realms, <br />as the multidimensional being that the human being really is, <br />and in the reflection in the outside of this incredible journey of being human <br />is the bonding and understanding of all the races of the world together, <br />in the inside.<br /><br />Who will win? Who is the boss? Is it the mind, the fire? <br />Is it the emotional body, the water, Is it the earth, <br />or maybe the wind as a spirit?<br /><br />Here is the situation, when human beings are able to see <br />themselves as a whole, as a complete being, that will be the big winning. <br />This is the time of the ascension, and human being is on an <br />incredible journey reaching themselves, reaching who they truly are, <br />recognizing themselves as a perfect being, <br />as a daughter and son of the Father Mother God, <br />and in this incredible journey, they need to begin to see themselves as a whole….<br /><br />What has happened to the people and why are that they are so <br />afraid to see beyond their, cultural beliefs that has limited and <br />enslaved their minds for such a long time?<br /><br />On this journey being human, a battle came into being inside of the people, <br />are human beings slaves their emotions, their heart? <br />Are they are so afraid of love ? <br />Does human being destroy the land, and themselves creating in that <br />way a self destructive way of living? <br />Does the mind wanted to possess and control everything through <br />the limitations based on a cultural belief? <br />Did the spirit get so broken that it gave up and does not believe <br />anymore in self?<br /><br />Maybe I am late for the party, when I arrive here in USA , <br />there were all these addictions of the system already into being, <br />a history, a her-story was already written, and created a big hurt <br />between the races, or as my beautiful sister said, <br />“maybe you are just in time for the new party”, <br />and this is the time where human beings are able to come <br />together as one, as an integrated self. <br />I am not sure about this party thing, I do believe in human beings. <br />In my connection with the Great Mother, <br />I listen carefully of what she is saying, <br />I born as a Mexican and as a woman, yet the journey have taken me <br />to move the identity, into many realms, <br />I have been everything, and everyone, I am you…… <br />and still be “me”, …and so are you.<br /><br />The new world is at hand, and human beings will uncover <br />the true human being inside of the self, and this is the time of the quickening, <br />so human being is ready to embrace who they are as a whole, <br />and learn to relate in a different manner, with the environment, <br />within each other, and the most important within the self. <br />And if we see this “process” in a country where all the races are together, <br />is very interesting to find out how is working in the outside <br />and making the reflection in the inside and inside as a reflection <br />to the outside. <br /><br />For long time in the history, human being thought that freedom <br />needed to be fought for, not recognizing the freedom within, <br />as a right of being human, for long time human beings thought <br />that justice was something that the governments of the world <br />needs to provide to the people, instead of recognizing justice <br />inside of the self, now is the time to question What people have done <br />with their mind? People have become slaves of their own mind… <br />and thinking the land is there to use and abuse, is also being represented <br />by the women, for it is the land that bears life, that give life, sustains life, <br />and in the distorted mind way of thinking, the women were seen <br />as possessions and controlled, then the distortion of the communities <br />began to happen when the women that represents the virtual reality, <br />began to create a reality based on pain, truly a community’s happiness <br />will be according of how the women feels, “if mama is not happy <br />nobody is happy”. <br /><br />The system has been creating and recreating based on <br />the wrong beliefs of human beings, human beings think that <br />the most important thing is the mind and has created a <br />slavery way of thinking, they value themselves <br />according of what they have, and posses, <br />the valorization of human being created the big Fall of the human being, <br />and then of course, many religions or traditions, <br />were created according to the false belief that <br />human beings are nothing but imperfect beings, <br />that has created a system that enslaves, manipulates, <br />destroys the true human being.<br /><br />Now, human beings are in the process of enlightenment, <br />it is reaching a point where they need to see themselves in a different manner, <br />as whole, and to relearn, to remember, the ways of the true human being, <br />where the way to relate one to another is through respecting <br />each other ways.<br /><br />The time where the broken mind, the limited mind, <br />the distorted mind, making the choices is gone…. <br />Now the choices are being made by an integrated being, <br />ready to embrace who they are in the inside and <br />reflect that one into the manifestation in their outside. <br /><br /><br /><br />In lakesh<br /><br />MagdalaFaith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-90834923169852059082010-03-07T21:59:00.001-06:002010-03-08T18:49:42.236-06:00Great Spirit Prayer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWS83EcodqP3EDZu2jF46RD_qS60InzcowxfUy5oULN5wuG1atRqsWeJjh4OqCnL37RIBwt4UGgOvnkZ9ecyqwGu_6F8xTsyK_XlJtFF9zf0SHYVAXDyteFCCAM4P_3OUIi7h9lhsoQd8/s1600-h/Indian%2520Maiden.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 108px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWS83EcodqP3EDZu2jF46RD_qS60InzcowxfUy5oULN5wuG1atRqsWeJjh4OqCnL37RIBwt4UGgOvnkZ9ecyqwGu_6F8xTsyK_XlJtFF9zf0SHYVAXDyteFCCAM4P_3OUIi7h9lhsoQd8/s320/Indian%2520Maiden.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446429693632038866" /></a><br /><br /><br />"Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, <br /><br />whose breath gives life to all the world.<br />Hear me; I need your strength and wisdom.<br /> <br /><br />Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.<br /> <br /><br />Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. <br /><br /><br />Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me.<br />Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. <br /><br /><br />Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others. <br />Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me. <br /><br /><br />I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - Myself. <br /><br /><br />Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.<br /> <br /><br />So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame. <br /><br /> <br /><br />~Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota TribeFaith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-77486514938256802832010-02-09T11:49:00.007-06:002015-04-12T14:42:07.293-05:00Hu The Breath of GodThe Divine Utterance more commonly known as the Breath of God.<br />
Ancient song of Love<br />
My love song to the Creator<br />
HUUUUUUUUUUUUU<br />
<br />
The Egyptian God, Hu<br />
By Catherine C. Harris<br />
<br />
The Egyptian god Hu was one of the minor gods in some respects, but he was one of the most important gods for those serious about Egyptian deities. Hu is the power of the spoken word. He personifies the authority of utterance. <br />
One legend has it that the creator and Sun God, Re (Ra), evolved from the primeval waters of Egypt. Once alive, Re created the air (Shu) and the moisture (Tefnut). Next, the earth god, Geb and the sky goddess, Nut were created. Mortal men and women were created from the tears of Re. Re then drew blood from his own penis and created the gods Hu and Sia. These two gods represented the creative power of the gods.<br />
<br />
Hu and Sia were partners. Sia was the personification of Divine Knowledge/Omniscience, the mind of the gods. Hu was the personification of Divine Utterance, the voice of authority. During Ancient times, Heka, the personification of Divine Power accompanied these two gods. Together, the three gods were very important to the rulers of Ancient Egypt. Along with the falcon-headed Sun God, they rode the Sunboat across the sky in order to create and sustain all life.<br />
<br />
The act of the Sunboat traveling across the sky signifies that with each sunrise the world was created anew. Having traveled through the Underworld of night and making it past all the dangers therein, the Sunboat once again rises to confirm that life is created new each day.<br />
<br />
Hu was particularly important because he was the epitome of the power and command of the ruler. Even after death, Hu was of the utmost importance to the Kings of Ancient Egypt. Hu acted as the King’s companion as the King entered the Afterlife. Through Hu, the King maintained his royal authority in the Afterlife. Hu allowed the King to cross the waters of his canal and acknowledged the King’s authority and supremacy.<br />
<br />
So far, we know Hu as the personification of Divine Utterance. However, some legends maintain that he was not just a part of creation, but that he was the creator. It is said that as Hu drew his first breath, there was in that sound the essence of his name. Hence, we have the name Hu, which sounds remarkably like the sound of an expelling breath.<br />
<br />
With each breath Hu expelled, creation took place. The first breath created the Soul of Osiris. His last creation was the Sun. So it is said that Hu is the Word of God, the first and the last breaths, Hu Hu.<br />
<br />
The Ancient Egyptians recognized the Sphinx at the Giza Plateau as an image of Hu. The lion was a symbol of power and strength. Used as the body of the Sphinx, this was perfectly acceptable to the Ancient Egyptians. The face of the Sphinx wore the distinctive Red Crown of the Creator and the Osiris Beard. These were hallmarks of the time.<br />
<br />
It’s been suggested that Ancient Egyptians would use the Sphinx in a ritual that reenacted the creation of the Universe. It was performed at dusk, as night was falling upon Egypt. This was considered the time before creation begun, when Hu (the Sphinx) sat silent. <br />
<br />
When the signal was given, the sound of the first word of creation filled the air, as people made the sound they recognized as that breath, “Hhhhoooooooo.” <br />
This “word,” the Word of God, would be chanted all through the night symbolizing the night of progressive creating. The final act of the ritual came at sunrise. As the sun rose out of the East, the last breath of Hu was recognized.<br />
<br />
Sri Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of Eckankar, notes, “Hu is the ancient name of God, a love song to God. When Soul has heard this sound, Soul yearns to go home.”<br />
<br />
Eckankar uses the singing of Hu’s name as a spiritual connection to the Heart of God. They sing the name Hu to draw closer to the Divine Being. For the people who follow this faith, the desires are reported to be love, freedom, wisdom, and truth.<br />
<br />
Eckankar teaches, “A spiritual essence, the Light and Sound, connects everyone with the Heart of God. This Light and Sound is the ECK, or Holy Spirit. Direct Aspects of God opens the deep spiritual potential within each of us. The Light and Sound purify, uplift, and direct us on our journey to home.”<br />
<br />
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Papyrus of Ani, mentions the ceremonies of Hu and Sa. One can only speculate as to the nature of such rituals and ceremonies. Could they be talking about the ancient ritual involving the Sphinx?<br />
<br />
Hu may be considered a minor god in some ways, but it’s obvious that Hu was a not-so-minor god to most Ancient Egyptians.<br />

Everyone knows about the man and his legacy. Here is some advice he gave worth noting:<br /><br /><strong>1. Change yourself</strong><br />“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”<br />If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think, then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change.<br /><strong>2. You are in control<br /></strong>“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”<br />What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. You can choose your own thoughts, reactions and emotions.<br /><strong>3. Forgive and let it go<br /></strong>“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”<br />Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone. Forgiving and letting go of the past will do you and the people in your world a great service.<br /><strong>4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere<br /></strong>“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”<br />Without taking action very little will be done. However, taking action can be hard. And so you may resort to preaching, or reading and studying endlessly. But you have to take action and translate that knowledge into results and understanding.<br /><strong>5. Take care of this moment<br /></strong>“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”<br />Stay in the present as much as possible, and be accepting. When you are in the present moment you don’t worry about the next moment. And the resistance to action comes from imagining negative future consequences or reflecting on past failures.<br /><strong>6. Everyone is human<br /></strong>“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”<br />When you start to make myths out of people, you run the risk of becoming disconnected from them. Keep in mind that everyone is just a human being no matter who they are.<br /><strong>7. Persist<br /></strong>“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”<br />Be persistent. In time the opposition around you will fade and fall away.<br /><strong>8. See the good in people and help them<br /></strong>“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”<br />If you want improvement then focusing on the good in people is a useful choice. It also makes life easier for you as your world and relationships become more pleasant and positive.<br /><strong>9. Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self<br /></strong>“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”<br />When words and thoughts are aligned then that shows through in your communication. People tend to really listen to what you’re saying. You are communicating without incongruence, mixed messages or phoniness.<br /><strong>10. Continue to grow and evolve<br /></strong>”Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”<br />You can pretty much always improve your skills and habits, or re-evaluate your evaluations. You can gain deeper understanding of yourself and the world.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-81819404145220289442010-02-05T22:50:00.008-06:002010-02-06T20:23:05.134-06:00Some not so common senseThe world is ablaze with fear right now.You can smell it.<br />Everyone wants to know what can they do when the folks in government do not listen to reason or seem sane. It is simple. The answer is stop feeding the beast. Stop using the credit cards,stop investing and supporting in corporate we do not give a damn about you or life America. Jobs? What jobs? It is up too us America,Not the President,not the Congress,not the Senate,<br />It's up to us "We the People".<br />Lets just simply say no to New World Orders, No to more government. Let your Representatives in Washington know that we have had enough. We do not need them to fix a blessed or a damned thing. We already know how incompetent they are and they are not on We the Peoples side.<br />Now lets support our local and state governments and get the right people in there .<br />We can take back our government from the bottom up! Do what you can in your community to help your community in any way you can. Start a movement in your community to rebuild and support itself..This is no time to set on the fence or the sidelines.<br />Those in Washington have sided with corporate America's life sucking policies against us. Get up! Empower yourself! Help others empower themselves. Gandhi,and Marten Luther King showed us how it's done,they did it with the people in powers money. They boycotted businesses and caused many millions of dollars in their community to go away due to their lack of support. To be more precise It worked because of the sheer numbers who did it. We can do what they have already done. We do not need to reinvent the wheel.<br />Create new industry,shop local Bz,Mom and Pop bz all that you can. Barter and trade whatever you can for what you need..grow as much of your own food as possible,make as much as you can ,recycle as much as you can, get your neighbors together and grow a community garden. Learn about herbalism and how that helps you stay healthy.<br />Learn about basic nutrition.Move your money to community banks. Don't take out loans unless you just have to. In short live within your means.If you are a meat eater see if you can get someone who hunts to bring you back some meat or if able hunt or fish for yourself. If your a vegetarian then your garden is the answer to the ever higher food bill. In short if you do not feed the beast of commercialism it will die and what will happen is new growth will appear and new jobs. American made jobs for American workers. Support what corporations are helping the planet survive.<br />If you have an IRA or a mutual fund instruct those in charge to only invest in good companies that bring more life and more abundance to all they work for and all they touch. I rarely feed the beast. Become as self sufficient as possible in the environment you live in. You will be happier. This blog will be featuring companies that are good for the health of all. Please do what you can where ever you can to support their growth and the growth of other companies like them .<br />One last thing if you are voting for a Republican or a Democrat you are wasting your vote if you are hoping for anything good or a worthwhile change.<br /><br />All the power you need to change the world is in your wallet, in your voice,and in your letting your Representatives in Washington know that they are fired and that we are done with their mess.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-20231766035576859092010-01-29T22:02:00.004-06:002010-07-06T19:34:09.050-05:00You are so loved<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xa-CciV6B7U&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xa-CciV6B7U&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Each day is a gift and so is everyone you will ever meet no matter how they behave for they have something to teach you.Just in case you need reminding... I want you all to know that you are loved. Many blessings on this wonderful day Creator has made for you ,just for you. If you do not feel loved it's because you haven't recognized it... not because it's not there. To often we do not give what's beautiful a place to live within us. Pain and life garbage is loud and noisy... so that is what grabs our attention. Beauty is quite and love is simple.... so often it gets overlooked in the noise of the outer world screaming for attention.Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594927288027710207.post-40815320060594906492010-01-16T16:27:00.005-06:002010-01-16T17:19:12.887-06:00The New Age of Alternative fuels.Dubai ,Brazil,Germany,what do all of these places have in common? They are the leaders in alternative Energy and they have proven it works on a large scale. More over they have been doing it for years. Go <a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/2009/11/15/13594/dubai-renewable-energy-gulf/">here</a> for Dubai and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_in_Brazil">here</a> for Brazil.<a href="http://solar.calfinder.com/blog/solar-information/germany-your-unlikely-world-leader-in-solar-power/">Here</a> for Germany.Car manufacturers have been creating cars that run on alcohol and gasoline depending on the need.They call them <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5829046/">flex fuel cars,</a> and they look good running on it as well. Made By GM... Why don't we have these??They have had them for awhile in Brazil.. Perhaps it is because unlike America these countries are not run by corporations that have a huge invested interest in oil.Or maybe they feel the American buyer is to picky ,but most likely the reason is the OIL companies do not have this choice at the fuel pumps.<br />Brazils alternative fuel is made from <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8262015/">sugar cane and beet sugar plants</a>. This is wonderful and it is good to see that it is only seems to be America that has the problem with converting to Bio -fuels not the rest of the world..Suger Beets will grown in very cold climates while suger cane is limited to tropical regions only. So no matter what your countries climate is One of the plants will work for your area to produce Ethanol as a fuel and would make an excellent industry.<br />Oh and one last thing did you know that they have had a way to power a nuclear reactor without the deadly radiation from uranium for YEARS??? They use Thorium instead.. <a href="http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/ff_new_nukes/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29">go here for that info</a>. Know why we don't have it ??? Because you cannot make weapons with it. Also the Mining industry that mines Coal is owned by People who have have good friends in Washinton who love to help out their buddies especially when it puts money in their pockets.. How Fff'nnn special is that?Faith-R-Michaelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05185314495506413127noreply@blogger.com0
