I meant to say there was no evidence to indict the concerned Gambian. Thanks.

Sunday, 2 August, 2009 It’s as if, for many of you, you woke up recently, you’re not sure when, and found yourselves in another world, one that looks just a little brighter, colors fresher, air clearer. A world in which some of the old patterns and habits that used to haunt you, to rule you, are suddenly much less so. They may even be gone entirely. So what happened? You don’t remember when they went. There was no catalytic moment, no tipping point, but now, yes, you’re sure now as you check, now they’re just Not There. That was July. July, the month of heady emotion. July, a month of, for many of you, incredible intensity. Now it is August. You’re thinking you can rest now. You’re thinking, “August, the harvest month. I can reap what I’ve sown."Not so fast. There’s more. That was just a taste of what’s to come.Before you run screaming in the other direction, let’s talk about this. You know the proverbial way to eat an elephant, don’t you? One bite at a time? It’s, of course, an apt metaphor for your life as well. July melts into August and on from there. One bite, one moment, one day at a time. If July was characterized as a month of emotion, then August is about connecting the dots. Perhaps not all the dots that need to be connected, at least in your perspective on a soul level, but a month from now you’ll be able to look back and know you’ve put a lot of realizations together, perhaps in ways you never expected to. This dot-connection will extend on a personal and individual level to relationships, inner growth, and personal finances, and will also have huge repercussions on a more global or collective level. If you’re not sleeping well this summer, consider this: you are likely one among thousands who have agreed to help create and support energetic change on a global level. And the time for this is now, not 40 years into your future (although that certainly looks interesting from here). On a community and global level, then, expect things like: * Economic restructuring, or at least attempts to do so. More emotionally- based countries could experience political coups. More intellectually- based countries (like the United States) will experience political controversy and even scandal, as well as sharp turns in apparent ideology. * Another global phenomena, much like the experience of the death of Michael Jackson, that serves to unite and combine energies and intentions. We would not expect this to be in the form of another celebrity death but rather in the form of a book or concept that sweeps the public arena and begins to create changes, one small step at a time, in the direction of thinking among large groups of people. * Additional large-scale layoffs and other signs of continued overall economic “downturn,” now beginning to show effects on a more personal level to more people. Whether this manifests as actual economic loss or more on the level of feeling and observing the social changes that are taking place as a result depends much on the individual’s choices on a soul level. What can you do to enhance your feeling of connecting the dots, both for yourself on a personal level and on a global basis?Connecting the dots on a personal levelThis is where you can have some fun. Last month was all about feeling, and this month is all about integrating. Here are two personal exercises that will help. The first is about connecting more deeply with your past emotional experiences: Think back to times in the past month when you felt particularly emotional. Try to recapture the physical sensations you felt when you were feeling all that emotion. Allow any associated pictures, thoughts, or sensations come to mind, and simply welcome them. By doing so you are widening your experience and encouraging yourself to create new pathways of response to emotions rather than relying on the same old associations that no longer serve you. The second exercise will help you welcome and strengthen the connections in your personal circle: Think of three or four people in your life to whom you would like to have a closer connection or to whom you would like to make some changes in the existing energetic dynamic between you. Hold these people in mind for a minute or two every day this month, or as often as you remember to. Picture the energy moving between you from your heart chakra to theirs and back, free-flowing, bright, and beautiful. We remind you that every time you consciously expand the heart connection you have with your community and your world, you are facilitating the global transition that is occurring at this very moment.Connecting the dots on a global levelIf you are reading this, chances are you are one of the thousands we spoke of earlier. You are here right now, in part, to help create and/or support the changes that are occurring now. Here is another pair of exercises that will help connect the dots both in your life and others surrounding you. The first is very simple: Picture a virtual world, one very much like yours, but cleaner, clearer, and brighter. See your planet from afar and notice the colors brightening visibly while you watch. Ahhh. That feels good, doesn't it? Do that as often as you happen to think about it. The second again involves creating heart connections, this time on a community and global basis. Powerful! Picture everyone in the world, both incarnate and those who are discarnate (that’s billions and billions of you!) holding hands in one very large circle that stretches across the planet. Someone is holding both your hands, and the line of handholders stretches out from yours in both directions. Feel energy from your heart move into the palm of your right hand and connect with the person, this could be anyone, holding that hand. They now feel your heart energy. Understand that this line of energy, moving through the billions of you in just an instant, is going to travel up the left hand of everyone in line, move through their heart, and then out again through their right hand. In a moment you will feel this come back to you via your own left hand, having traveled all the way around the circle.We encourage you to perform this visualization several times this month.Are you ready? It’s an exciting month ahead! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask]
