Life as We Know It at The Brink of a Breakthrough: Hello Divine Feminine!

13th August 2012

By Mona Bhattacharya

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

In order to understand the resurgence of the divine feminine, we have to go the basics of science. ‘Feminine and Masculine’ energy is another way of saying ‘Negative and Positive’ energy. There can be no light without the balance of both. Most would agree that we live in a time with an overbearing emphasis on positive energy – so much so it has falsely become synonymous with happiness. I would go as far as to say, the conscious community is misguided in seeking only positive energy, inadvertently searching for truth through the lens of a masculine paradigm.

A deeper analysis of the attributes of male and female energies reveals that male (positive) energy travels in straight lines. It is the energy with potential to become anything, i.e. energy in its unmanifest form. It is the light of consciousness that thinks, knows and imagines everything, but has yet to come into physical existence.  Do you, or anyone you know, spend a lot of time experimenting with positive thinking, laws of attraction and visualizations, yet often feel frustrated with the results? This is because light by itself needs a source and a refractive surface to become visible – like the green in trees – and that physical surface is the negative aspect, the feminine. In its pure form light/consciousness is filled with unlimited potential but doesn’t have the landing power until it is met with the physical/body.  All things manifest into physical form are female energy or negative energy.

The experience of life is essentially the interplay of male and females energies (which further splits into eight signature frequencies of energy known as the LumenOctave or Octave of Light). The tipping of human consciousness towards the positive end of the spectrum is prevalent in a multitude of aspects. Think of corporations being driven solely by the bottom line, constantly pushing positive results; any indications of a downturn are considered taboo. School systems are structured around a positive reinforcement that values perfect regurgitation of information. Creative thought, avant-garde research and development, as well as lateral thinking are viewed as mere secondary attributes of human culture. For the majority on the path of human socio-cultural success, the cultivation of these energies is deterred. Moreover, the bulk of the spiritual dogma is “higher self”-centric with heavy emphasis on activating the pineal gland, opening the third eye, visualizations, remote viewing, astral projections and achieving higher states through “out of body”-experiences.

We are all too familiar with the syndrome of the “ideas man”. The one who “talks the big game”, yet when it comes down to actually delivering shows little results.  Over-use of the higher faculties of the mind (the crown, the pineal and pituitary glands) heightens the reception of inspiration and thought from the higher dimensions, but offers little knowledge about the process of executing these inspirations within the physical reality.  In order to materialize, the amazing visions intuited by the higher faculties need the glands and organs in the lower parts of the body, e.g. adrenal gland, prostate/womb region and the rectum to name a few.

The resurgence of the divine feminine is about to change the world as we know it

The dawning of the divine feminine is the breakthrough in consciousness bringing humanity to the aperture of the vast knowledge stored within the body. With this incredible knowledge follows instructions on how to use the tools we have been given to experience the light of our soul from a full spectrum standpoint. In the full spectrum experience, the male-focused upper body glands intuit inspirations, allowing the female-focused lower body to perform the quality assurance needed before birthing a concept into a physical form; it is the experience of knowing oneself, truly and undoubtedly as the creator.  This balance is the key to healing the planet, which essentially is made of female energy matter.

Although the over-all end goals point to a balancing of the full spectrum, the need to counteract the damage caused by our over-dependence and attachment to positive energies and male attributes compels the scales to shift to the other end of the spectrum and re-establish the potency of negative female energies, which, to this day, are a conceptual figment of imagination for most. Thus, the ascension that we talk about is not ascension at all. It is a de-scension. A decension into the body – into the sensational experience. As above so below. This is the great paradox of life: The only way up is down. So we stand here at the brink – daring to correct the myths and false assumptions of this radical time in our evolution. With this, expect the body and the planet to take the center stage in the decades to come – and expect those who delve deep into the mysteries of the body, sensations and emotional realms to become the natural leaders; those, whom up until this point have been deemed the meek on Planet Earth.

Doggies Quickly Getting Dry

Wow! How Dogs Get Dry in 1-Second Shake

Next time the family dog bounds out of the nearest body of water and shakes itself off right beside you, don’t get irritated: You’re witnessing a feat of evolution that engineers can only dream of re-creating.

Furry mammals can shake themselves 70 percent dry in just a fraction of a second, according to new research. The study, which looked at the shaking speeds of 16 species of mammals, from mice to lions to bears, found that the smaller the animal, the faster it must shake to dry its fur.

“We think this has been evolving over millions of years of time to become so good,” said study researcher David Hu, who studies biolocomotion at Georgia Tech. “Imagine if you could come out of the shower and, instead of using a towel, you could just press a button and in one-thirtieth of a second you’re 70 percent dry.”The findings could provide inspiration for self-cleaning and self-drying robotics, Hu told LiveScience. [Video: Watch the Animals Shake Dry in Slow-Motion]

Shaking to survive

For mammals, drying off is a matter of life and death, Hu said. A relatively hairless human emerging from a bath can carry up to a pound of water on his or her body. An immersed rat will emerge with 5 percent of its body mass in water clinging to its fur. And a wet ant can find itself staggering under three times its body weight in liquid. (Hu previously studied how mosquitoes can survive direct hits by raindrops during a storm.)

Drying off quickly is particularly critical in winter. Hu and his colleagues calculate that a 60-pound dog with a pound of water on its fur would use a full 20 percent of its daily caloric intake staying warm as it air-dried.

“Imagine you fell into the lake in the winter and had wet clothes all around you and couldn’t dry,” Hu said.

Water would also be a challenge for autonomous robots that traipse around outdoors. Dust poses similar problems for electronics, Hu noted, citing NASA’s Mars rovers. Modern Earthbound electronics often include internal shakers to dislodge dust, he said.

To find out how biology solved the self-cleaning problem, Hu and his colleagues went to the zoo and the park, as well as to the lab. They measured body sizes and shake speeds in 33 mammals from 16 species, ranging from guinea pigs and tiny juvenile mice to bears and lions. They also tested five breeds of dog.

“My graduate student had the pleasure of dousing them with a hose and measuring the frequency” of their shakes, Hu said, adding that no animals were harmed beyond momentary dampness in the process of the study.

To test drying speeds, the researchers also set up a “wet-dog simulator,” a device that shook tufts of wet fur.

Shake it up

The researchers found that the bigger the animal, the slower it could shake to dry off. That’s because the fur of a large animal shaking travels farther and is subject to more centripetal force than the fur of a small animal shaking. Centripetal forces are those that move an object in a circle. It’s a bit like being on a merry-go-round: If you’re at the edge of the merry-go-round, you’re subject to greater force than if you’re at the center.

So while a bear shakes about four times a second and a typical dog shakes four to six times per second to dry off, mice and rats have to move up to 10 times as quickly, the research revealed.

“They have to shake 30 times per second, which is unimaginable because their whole body is whipping back and forth,” Hu said.

The researchers also found that loose skin helped the drying process immensely, because the extra movement resulted in nine times the force than if the skin were tight. That could explain why hairy mammals tend to have some give in their skin, Hu said.

No matter their size, all of the mammals were about as efficient as possible as drying off quickly, Hu said.

“I don’t think we’re going to make a Mars rover in the shape of a dog or anything like that,” he said. “But if people can think about how animals do this so quickly, they’ll get an idea of what is possible.”

Nazca Lines — FYI

Nazca Lines: Mysterious Geoglyphs in Peru

Owen Jarus, LiveScience Contributor
Date: 14 August 2012

The Nazca (also spelled Nasca) Lines are geoglyphs located in an arid coastal area of Peru that cover an estimated 170 square miles (450 square kilometers).

Scratched on the ground, they number in the thousands and depict creatures from both the natural world and the human imagination. They include animals such as the spider, hummingbird, monkey, lizard, pelican and even a killer whale. Also depicted are plants, trees, flowers and oddly shaped fantastic figures. Also illustrated are geometric motifs such as wavy lines, triangles, spirals and rectangles.

The animal mounds were found in a region famous for a series of ancient geolyphs, called the Nazca Lines, which are now considered a World Heritage Site in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. Here, Nazca Lines resembling a humming bird, as viewed from a plane.

How old are they?

The vast majority of the lines date from 200 BC to 500 AD, to a time when a people referred to as the Nazca inhabited the region. The earliest lines, created with piled up stones, date as far back as 500 BC.

Who made them?

The Nazca people were an ancient prehistoric culture that was successful in using engineering techniques to bring underground water to the surface for irrigation. Some of the theories regarding the purpose of the lines connect them to this need for water.

One of their largest settlements is Cahuachi, a place of ceremony that overlooks some of the lines. It contains more than 40 mounds, including pyramids made of adobe.

When were they “discovered”?

Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe was the first to study and report the Nazca Lines in detail after coming across them, on foot, in 1927. In the 1930s as air traffic in the area increased, the lines became better known, eventually attracting a steady stream of tourists.

It’s often stated that the lines can only be seen from the air; however, this is a myth. A 2007 study that looked at 1,500 drawings in the Palpa region found that “each and every geoglyph” can be spotted from the ground.

Theories and significance

The purpose of the lines continues to elude researchers and remains a matter of conjecture. Ancient Nazca culture was prehistoric, which means they left no written records.

One idea is that they are linked to the heavens with some of the lines representing constellations in the night sky. Another idea is that the lines play a role in pilgrimage, with one walking across them to reach a sacred place such as Cahuachi and its adobe pyramids. Yet another idea is that the lines are connected with water, something vital to life yet hard to get in the desert, and may have played a part in water-based rituals.

In the absence of a firm archaeological conclusion a number of fringe theories have popped up, such as the idea that the Nazca people used balloons to observe the lines from up high, something which there is no archaeological evidence for.

Portable 3D Printers

Weapons of Mass Creation: Portable 3-D Printers Have Arrived

William Shakespeare is credited with coining the term ‘luggage’ in Henry IV in 1597. It took over 400 years before someone figured out it would be easier if the baggage had wheels. (The first wheeled carry-on was sold in 1970.) But it has only taken four years for a designer to create a carrying case for a 3-D printer.

That designer is Emmanuel Gilloz, a 24-year-old Frenchman who built the FoldaRap. Gilloz’s portable machine is a variant of the RepRap model that inspired the MakerBot and a variety of other popular 3-D printers. While other machines are optimized for resolution or build-size, Gilloz focused on convenience and portability. Wired caught up with him to hear more about the project.

Wired Design: Why was portability so important to you?

Emmanuel Gilloz: Constraints are great, I’m fond of origami, and I always try to make things that can be folded.

Most importantly I don’t have a car, and I moved a lot in the past two years. Bringing my machine to events or meetups meant I had to carry a big, heavy thing that wasn’t made for that kind of usage. Even the RepRap Huxley becomes heavy when you hold it for a long time, so as a designer and frustrated user I designed one tailored to my need.

Wired Design: What was the biggest design challenge you’ve had to overcome?

Gilloz: The biggest challenges were designing the hinge mechanism and finding the suppliers of all the non-printed parts. That kind of information is quite time-consuming to obtain, almost like chasing a treasure. It’s an even greater reason to share it in the wiki, because those who try to self-source a RepRap are not all interested in that type of hunt.

Wired Design: What other improvements would you like to see in RepRap 3-D printers?

Gilloz: Technically I’m quite happy with the RepRaps as they are. Their big advantage is the continuous improvement and modularity that makes each year’s machines more reliable, faster, simpler to build, and more capable.

From the RepRap family tree I see three trends: performance, self-replication, and simplicity. Simplicity is my favorite, I thrive for it. The choice to use some components rather than others can greatly simplify things.

In 10 years we will have even more awesome bots, if we remember to share our ideas. I’m trying to address that with the FoldaRap by showing the entire design process and mentioning all the suppliers.

Wired Design: Are there any other fabrication tools that excite you?

Gilloz: Paste extruders, powder sinterers, lasers (I want to make a foldable one), open source ecology … everything that contributes to make us more independent. In the long term it’s a matter of resilience and survival, being able to make stuff and empowering everyone else to.

I grew up with MacGyver and reading the US Army Survival Guide and did I mention making stuff is the coolest way to learn things and have fun?

Wired Design: How important do you think aesthetics are in 3-D printing?

Gilloz: We often heard people saying the bare threaded rods (on RepRap 3-D printers) look too “garage-made” for them, but they also have their charm. We will see how the 3D Systems Cube does with the opposite approach.

Personally I think that with the right amount of work in collecting the information of how to source, build, and run a 3-D printer it can be made as attractive as a mass-produced solution, but we do need more designers in DIY. It will be a good part of my future efforts.

Dr. Jeff Masters on Desert Heat, Hot Rain, Tropical Developments

Hottest rain on record? Rain falls at 115°F in Needles, California
Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 3:19 PM GMT on August 15, 2012 +19

A searing heat wave rare even for the Desert Southwest sent temperatures soaring to record levels on Monday, with Needles, California tying its record high for the date of 118°F (47.8°C). The temperature might have gone higher in Needles, but a thunderstorm rolled in at 3:20 pm, and by 3:56 pm PDT, rain began falling at a temperature of 115°F (46.1°C). Most of the rain evaporated, since the humidity was only 11%, and only a trace of precipitation was recorded in the rain gauge. Nevertheless, Monday’s rain at 115° in Needles sets a new world record for the hottest rain in world history. I don’t think many people were outside to experience to experience the feeling of rain falling at 115°, but if they were, it must have been an uncomfortable, sauna-like experience! Thanks go to Dr. Warren Blier of the NWS Monterey office for pointing out this remarkable event to me.

It is exceedingly rare to get rain when the temperature rises above 100°F, since those kind of temperatures usually require a high pressure system with sinking air that discourages rainfall. Monday’s rain in Needles was due to a flow of moisture coming from the south caused by the Southwest U.S. monsoon, a seasonal influx of moisture caused by the difference in temperature between the hot desert and the cooler ocean areas surrounding Mexico to the south. According to weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera, the previous record for hottest rain, which I blogged about in June, was a rain shower at 109°F (43°C) observed in Mecca, Saudi Arabia on June 5, 2012 and in Marrakech, Morocco on July 10, 2010. The 11% humidity that accompanied Monday’s rain shower at 115° in Needles was the lowest humidity rain has ever occurred at anywhere on Earth in recorded history, according to Mr. Herrera.

Developing thunderstorms surround Needles, CA, and the line of clouds to the southwest of the city would develop into a thunderstorm that brought rain to the city at 4 pm PDT, at a temperature of 115°F. Image credit: NASA.

A “very rare” heat wave for Phoenix
The heat wave that brought Needles’ record hot rain has broken an exceptional number of heat records in Phoenix, Arizona the past two weeks. According to the Phoenix NWS office, the “almost unbearable heat” of the first two weeks of August is a “very rare” event, and August 1 – 14, 2012 was the warmest such 2-week period in city history. The average temperature on August 6 – 13 was 100°F or higher each of the eight days, tying the record for most consecutive days with an average temperature of 100°. The temperature peaked at 116° on August 8, just 6° below Phoenix’s all-time record of 122° set on June 26, 1990. The forecast for Phoenix call for a bit of relief–highs are expected to be a relatively modest 105° today, and down near 100° by Friday.


Figure 2. Morning satellite image of 93L over the Central Atlantic.

93L close to tropical depression status
A large tropical wave (Invest 93L) is located in the Central Atlantic about 700 miles east of Bermuda. Satellite loops this morning show a surface circulation has formed, and heavy thunderstorm activity has increased to the point where 93L should be considered a tropical depression, if the heavy thunderstorms can persist through this afternoon. Wind shear is light, and ocean temperatures are warm, near 28°C. The latest Saharan Air Layer Analysis from the University of Wisconsin shows that 93L has moistened its environment considerably, and dry air should no longer be a significant impediment to development. The 8 am EDT run of the SHIPS model predicts that wind shear will remain in the low range through the weekend, and I expect this system will become Tropical Storm Gordon by Friday. The storm will not affect Bermuda, but residents of the Azores Islands should keep an eye on 93L, which could pass through the islands as early as Sunday night. In their 8 am Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 93L an 80% chance of becoming a tropical depression by Friday morning.

Elsewhere in the tropics
In the Gulf of Mexico, a fall-like cold front is expected to stall out early next week, and the GFS model is predicting something could start to spin up near the Texas/Mexico border on Monday. Wind shear is predicted to be low to moderate, and cold fronts stalled out over the Gulf of Mexico often serve as the seed for tropical storms.

Most of the models predict development of a new tropical wave off the coast of Africa 6 – 7 days from now.

Massive very deep earthquake in the sea of Okhotsk
A Magnitude 7.7 (updated from 7.3 by USGS) earthquake hit the sea of Okhotsk 160 km from Poronaysk, Russia although it was a massive earthquake the depth of  625 km has decreased the shaking strongly, making it a IV on the Mercalli scale (light shaking) for a very wide area, no tsunami is possible because of the depth.
The earthquake has been felt as far as Japan!

Very strong moderately dangerous earthquake in the Xinjiang mountains, China

Last update: August 12, 2012 at 12:47 pm by By

The USGS shaking map below is based on a Magnitude of 6.3 at a depth of 9.7 km. The Chinese parameters would considerably weaken the shaking pattern.

Shaking map USGS – courtesy USGS

Update 11:30 UTC : Chinese seismological agency reports a Magnitude of 6.2 at a depth of 30 km. The biggest danger for this earthquake is some landslides in the steeper valleys. Landslides triggered by earthquakes are the most important secondary damage element after tsunamis of course.

A M6.2 earthquake occurred a shortwhile in Hotan district, Xinjiang China
Early reports are mentioning a very shallow earthquake.
We are currently trying to verify the data in China but their servers are down.
In a first overview of the location, the epicenter looks to be in a wilderness area in the mountains with no or very few people around.
Theoretical intensity should not go over VI MMI (strong shaking).
Based on other specialized organizations, the number of people in a radius of 100 km around the epicenter is max. 10000

Most important Earthquake Data:
Magnitude : Mw 6.3 (USGS) and Ms 6.2 (China)
UTC Time : Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 10:47:06 UTC
Local time at epicenter : Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 06:47:06 PM at epicenter
Depth (Hypocenter) : 9.7 km (USGS) and 30 km (China)
Geo-location(s) :
Approx. 100 km of Keriya, China
Approx. 100 km of Keriya, China
282 km (175 miles) ESE of Hotan, China

Update 12:40UTC : As we are in a very remote area of China, it may take many hours (probably until tomorrow morning local time) before emergency teams (both aid and assessment teams) have reached the small settlements in the mountains (mountains as high as 6820 meter).

Earthquake epicenter mountains – beautiful but with many earthquake faults – image courtesy and copyright Garmo92

Update 11:47 UTC : The closest populated centers near the epicenter are Keriya and Niya. We do not have specific population numbers for Keriya and Niya, but Keriya county counts 220,000 people and Niya (Minfeng) county 30,000. The biggest city in the greater area is Hotan (also seismological headquarters), but Hotan is far away from the danger zone (282 km).

Update 11:40 UTC : There are NO hydrodams or Nuclear Plants in the vicinity of the epicenter (source GDACS)

Update 11:34 UTC : WAPMERR, the theoretical damage data engine is predicting 0 to 10 deaths and 0 to 100 injured. These numbers refer only to shaking and NOT to landslides. At Earthquake-report.com we think that besides landslides and based on the depth of 30 km, no important damage or injuries will be sustained.
Initial predictions like we are making are taking into account as much as data as we can find. Often local obtained data are the most accurate as these organizations are often highly specialized and have a lot of instruments in the earthquake area. The more instruments, the more accurate data are! The WAPMERR data are based on the UGS data (in this case) which refer to a M6.3 and a depth of less than 10 km. If the Chinese parameters are correct (what we believe), there is a huge difference in damage potential in between the 2 data sets.

August  12-18

Overall Color for the Week:    Frosty White

More surprises this week on every level.  Be strong in WHO you are as there can be some shake-ups, unexpected announcements, setbacks, and/or victories on the family front, and this includes those whom you consider your closest friends.  This is a week also for revelations, and some of them will be concerning yourself.  It is time to be aware of your own uniqueness, of your own specialness. Many of the things that you take for granted about yourself are things that others would never, ever be able to do.  It is time to realize just what it is that you are capable of.  Do not trivialize your abilities. They are amazing.  And you will need all your capabilities, all your power, all your knowing, all your compassion as the shifts and change accelerate  as this month progresses and as the year goes forward.  You have the strength, knowledge, wisdom, depth, resources, etc. to deal with everything that comes your way.  It is important to stay centered and grounded in your heart’s true knowing.  Stay rooted in your Core Self.  And use that wonderful vision that allows you to see not only what seems to be but also what lies beneath the seeming.  There can be surprises, upsets, tears, but there can also be revelations, messages, and love.  Never doubt that.  Love is there if you just call for it.

 

Sunday, August 12:    Grainy White

There are things going on around you that can distract and disturb.  You need to know where you stand in relation to the stuff around you.  If you are rooted and strong, your vision will be clear and your knowing single-pointed.  There is no longer the time to play the popularity game.  It is a game with no meaning, a game no one wins.  It is ephemeral.  A game anyone can define and does.  Silly stuff.  High school is over.  It is time to let all that go.  We have all grown, changed, expanded.  Change your perspective.  Open your vision.  All is energy, and energy is all.  Let go of the regrets, the sorrows and welcome the new energy that comes in to assist, to accompany, to direct.  It is all over the place today.

Monday, August 13:    Light Yellow Green

This is a good day for relaxing, stepping back from all the stuff that has been clamoring for your attention, from all the tasks you have to get done, correspondence to acknowledge, dust bunnies to attack. You know how it is, that as you go through the day to day all sorts of stuff accumulates on the periphery.  Let it go today.  It is interesting that when you take your concern or angst away from some stuff, it just melts away.  Priorities are changing.  You are moving into WHO you are.  Today you can get a sense of just what that means as you bye-bye things that you never cared about, only thought you should.  Enjoy the feeling.  You might just go to bed tonight with a smile on your lips and a greater sense of your own power.

Tuesday, August 14:    Light Blue Green

The energies today seem calming and friendly, however there is a bit of the pixie behind it all, that little charmer, that little Trickster who can throw stones in your path.  You may find yourself being tongue-tied or out of step with things around you.  That is the pixie playing her tricks.  This is a good vibration in which to hone your skills of observation as there is a clarity she brings that can allow you to find focus on things at the periphery that were hidden or somewhat obscured before.  This can lead to some interesting ah-ha moments.  The pixie also brings thoughts of childhood, so be ready for some remembrances of things past.  When they come, look at them from your current perspective to see what the messages were at that time.  We all forget the wisdom we had a s children, before all the stuff of adults and others was dumped n us, making us question what we knew.  There are things of today that you will wish to remember later on, so it is a good idea, as the night arrives, to do some journaling or tie some strings that you can refer to as the weeks go by.

Wednesday, August 15:   Bermuda Blue

You are in the middle of things in so many ways.  The middle of the month.  The middle of the quarter.  The middle of all the changes that are happening.  You will see this today and it will take on a most interesting meaning for you according to  what level you are willing to/able to/brave enough to take a look at things.  A sense of humor coupled with compassion will bring new revelations and new connections.  The day can end with a the wow, but only if you go into it with no definition, no judgment, no limitations.  You know how to do this.  So just be.  Oh, and it is a good idea to be aware of things that are going on beneath the surface.  These things will be drifting to the top as the weeks go on.  If you get a feel for them now, when they come closer you will be able to identify them, classify them, and put them in their places.

Thursday, August 16:    Cloudy White

Emotions can be close to the surface today, so be ready to step back from situations that will evoke quick responses.  This is an excellent time in which to be the observer.  Much of what will be happening around you is merely a shifting of positions.  It is not time to react now as everything is still in flux.  It is important that you are grounded and centered in your Core Self.  Use the wisdom eyes of your heart to see through a lot of the seems-to-be out there.  Agendas are at work, but only item by item.  You will not have enough information to know the whole thing.  It is best always to formulate your opinions based on real facts.  As the day winds to a close some unexpected information can be coming your way.

Friday, August 17:     Blue and Orange

So, there are things to be said today, but watch out for the emotions.  You are conflicted in terms of who and what you want to be right now. You will feel the pull of societal norms and all the so-called right things, while standing on the precipice and seeing all the could-be’s.  Which way will you go?  This is a day for dealing with WHO you truly are.  You know the answer to that on an intuitive level, however whether or not you will act upon your knowing is up to you.  This is a dress rehearsal.  Be glad of that.  Many questions and issues will pop up.  Work with them.  Play the part.  See how they fit you.  Just know that the real performance is not far away. Oh, and since you are the star, and the audience and the critic are you, well, you have the freedom to make it be as you wish.

Saturday, August 18:    Light Rose

Well, the week is finally drawing to a close, and in retrospect, there are some things you are proud of, some things you got done, some things that you might have done better, and some things that made absolutely no sense at all.  (Did you expect them too?)  It is such crazy energy now that from one moment to the next you may question what you were doing and how you got there and is this the right rabbit hole and …  But the week is over and there is a bit of a respite in the air today.  You will find that you will be looking at things differently.  Your reactions are changing.  Those same old buttons do not work as they did before. (This can be a challenge for some of those who thought they knew you so well.)  In many ways you have paid your dues, done the right thing, been the proper person, but all that is shifting now.  Today you are at the proverbial (stinking) crossroads.  What to do?  Follow the deep knowing of your heart, and a new world can open up to you.

The Power of Your Imagination

Figuratively tattoo these words of Neville onto your forehead. In other words, memorize them, and repeat them to yourself every time you look into the mirror:

Disregard appearances, conditions, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you are already what you want to be, for in that determined assumption you and your Infinite Being are merged in creative unity, and with your Infinite Being (God) all things are possible. God never fails.

Your concept of yourself is being replaced by a new concept of yourself.

A new self-concept begins with you placing it in your imagination and living from this new perspective. You can count on your five senses to attempt to convince you that you should pay homage only to them and treat your imagination as unimportant and illusory. But that doesn’t mean that you have to allow them to usurp your new concept of yourself.

Right now, in this moment, you can practice this. Say aloud or to yourself, By placing new I ams into my imagination, my future dream is a present fact. Repeat the statement a few times. Can you feel your ego resisting? Which of your five senses is most adamantly annoyed? Notice and repeat. This new concept of yourself as God, or at least as a spark of God, asks you to think like God, Who “calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”

Here, you are creating an ideal of what you want to be and assuming that you already are that person. This is what Neville calls the Law of Assumption, and he states emphatically, “If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.”

Remind yourself that your imagination is yours to use as you decide, and that everything you wish to manifest into your physical world must first be placed firmly in your imagination in order to grow. Let Neville’s words guide you:

Therefore, to incarnate a new and greater value of yourself, you must assume that you already are what you want to be and then live by faith in this assumption—which is not yet incarnate in the body of your life—in confidence that this new value or state of consciousness will become incarnated through your absolute fidelity to the assumption that you are that which you desire to be.

This is a total transformation of your entire being.

Within your imagination, you can conceive thoughts of what you want as already here—prior to their birth in form in the sensory world. This means that your thoughts aren’t along the lines of: I will be. I hope it works out. I’m praying for good results. Instead, you say to yourself: I am—acknowledging the I am presence as God dwelling in me. Then your mind as that I am presence will become the dominant creative feature in your life. This generative force will gently assert its authentic creativity and power as you conceive it, and in the process replace a dependency on your physical and intellectual abilities. Your renewed reality does not rely exclusively on those five senses that keep you attached to the false beliefs that you are your body or its possessions, achievements, and reputation.

You’ve already discovered that the different bodies you’ve occupied throughout your life so far no longer exist for your senses to experience. Now you can choose to consciously participate in this nonsensory supreme reality—your imagination—where you assume your future dream to be a present fact and live from this new awareness. This isn’t pretending or fooling yourself, it is inviting your spirit rather than your physical form to generate the creative essence of your reality. It’s what it means to transform your life.

The word transformation has the word form right smack in the middle, preceded by trans—meaning going beyond form. Live from the place that will indeed take you way beyond the limits of your seemingly limited life. Explore imagination, which is the Source of all being or physical reality.

Throughout my life I’ve often been called excessively persistent and even obsessive in going after what I wish to fulfill. The truth is that I have within me a very powerful knowing that when I place something into my imagination, it is already a fact for me. I just don’t seem to have the capacity to erase from my mind what it is that is already my reality. For instance, earlier in my life when I applied to a doctoral program, I already saw myself with a doctorate, although I hadn’t taken even one course toward that degree. When I was told that nine out of ten doctoral students do not receive their degree because they cannot complete the vigorous requirements of writing a dissertation, I knew that this did not apply to me, because I was already a doctor in my imagination. I persistently acted as if my dream were a present fact.

I’ve had this same kind of “thinking from the end” in every phase of my professional career. As a young boy I saw myself on television shows and vehemently held this inner picture in my imagination, ignoring a lot of naysayers! And these imaginings ultimately were taken from my mind, where they were real, to the material world, where my senses finally caught up and confirmed them as truths.

The facts are, for me, that a picture in my imagination is already my reality. I live from this perspective, and nothing can dissuade me from this stance because I am not hoping to get someplace else. I am already there. I just don’t know how to erase what I am living in my imagination, even if the whole world attempts to persuade me of the folly of my dreams. This is a mind-set you can choose to embrace.

Let go of all doubt, forget about the when. It will develop into a material fact on Divine time. Forget about the how. Live it inwardly. This is a great power that you possess if you are willing to claim it as your own.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how vital it is for you to claim this inherent power of God and use it for manifesting the life you desire. Be obstinate regarding this idea. Hold your vision relentlessly, and more than that—live each day as if that idea you have in your imagination is in fact your reality. In The “I AM” Discourses, Saint Germain repeatedly reminds us that we are the master and have dominion in our lives; once this is part of your awareness, you can access the energy, power, and intelligence of the mighty I am presence, which is your very birthright. This I am presence is always with you.
