Self-governance will enable us to realise a peaceful and loving parallel society

A good day to you all

What is the Community Assembly of the British Isles all about? It is many things but I would like to look at, and explore, what it is at its core - at its very heart. Without meaning to offend, it's very much about growing up. Yes, boys and girls, it's time for us to grow up and become responsible. Let me explain.

For generations we've had it pretty good. Nanny has looked after us quite well when you come to think of it. Not feeling very well - pop down to the hospital and you will be cared for, for free. Oh, your job has come to an end because the company has stopped operating - don't worry, we'll give you some money to tide you over. Naturally, Nanny is always concerned with your safety and even tells you how fast you can drive on certain roads, and many, many similar rules, all in the name of keeping you 'safe'.

In setting up such a wonderful infrastructure by which to live, Nanny has had to make up a few rules to ensure there is no chaos and to make sure everything runs smoothly. It made sense at first, so initially we were okay with it ... at first.

Unfortunately, over the years, Nanny has developed a power complex and I think you may agree, has become too big for her boots - far too big - and the control we have allowed her to have, has gone beyond the living of life.

It has taken away one of our most powerful assets as a homo sapien. It has taken away our very own authority. It has taken away some of the flow of our true creativity.

For some reason we fell into the trap of believing that if there is no authority there will be absolute chaos. I suggest that to be an excellent piece of programming!

While all this nannying is going on, what happened to Natural Law ? Somehow it seems to have been forgotten as Nanny piled on more rules. You see, if you put Natural Law together with individual self-governance, then surely chaos would have very little room to operate? This might seem a little simplistic but I would suggest that by encouraging individual self-governance and by encouraging a man or a woman to exercise their free-will, guided by Natural Law, surely it can only bring about a peaceful society.

This is what I believe to be at the heart or core of the Community Assembly of the British Isles. It is about each of us being the author of our individual lives.

I believe the more we individually live our lives infused with Natural Law, it reactivates and enables love to be more prominent in our living of life. This is certainly my experience.

How come three simple words 'do no harm' can have such an effect? All I can say is it has to be your experience by looking at life through asking if harm is being done to any sentient being by whatever action you are choosing.

I believe it also leads to greater responsibility. I will not deny that as a younger man I was very irresponsible. I won't tell you any of those stories now as it will only add credence to my grumpy old man image!

Being the author of your own life coupled with Natural Law has the effect of recognising one's responsibility to all others and this planet. Here again we are getting to the heart of the Community Assembly of the British Isles. In addition to all the amazing and wonderful groups and hubs that are being put together, we are here to firstly recognise that we do not need a Nanny anymore. To question our mindset of the past and to come back to our true humane selves.

This parallel society we are creating is putting into place many of the aspects and systems of present day life which we are used to, but under our control and our authorship. Authors who live under Natural Law. It seems best to do it this way as I am sure most of you are aware many find radical change a little difficult. Although, as we free ourselves from the chains of our present system, there will in fact be many changes as our freedom will help us to look to our mind-set and free up our creativity to an even greater degree.

As time goes on, some of what we are putting into place now won’t be necessary and the way things are run could change also. For example, why have the need for certification when all are living truly and authentically under Natural Law? Why have registration when a man’s word is his/her bond? There was a time when an agreement was agreed upon by word of mouth (in-voice) or the shaking of hands.

To me the Community Assembly of the British Isles is about broadening our minds and looking to our stuck mind-sets. When you think of the ease with which the covid propaganda took hold, we recognise our naivety and trustfulness, not just because we are kind and loving creatures at heart, but due to an education system that indoctrinated instead of encouraging a broadening and individualising of the mind. Remember this thing we call a mind is in fact a super computer, far better than anything you can purchase at the Apple store or create using Artificial Intelligence (AI)!

We are the authors of life and the living of it. Being part of our own community is a way of putting us back into the driving seat. I think we have only just begun to raise our consciousness to the heights of possibility.

In the meantime I would like to take us back to the declaration we are all asked to agree to when signing up to become a Member :

"I am a free living being of flesh and blood, heart and soul. I stand under Natural Law, shared by all, as the basis for rationality and ethical values where to do no harm is the only rule. I make a personal commitment, divinely inspired, where, all that is required, is that I cause no loss to another, nor commit any fraud and keep the peace as I journey through each beautiful day, unhindered and free."

This simple statement has power, for it places you into your authorship of life and in every part of a new parallel society that recognises your adulthood and the responsibility placed in your hand - not feeling like a burden but feeling a sense of standing tall in freedom, free to create and care.

Standing under Natural Law. Living in Natural Law. Being Natural Law. It is already in you. One of the miracles of the homo sapien is that divine law is already written in your hearts by the Finger of God. Sir Edward Coke, who was the lord chief justice pointed this out, back in the 16th Century. He used those very words. When we know deep down this is part of who and what we are, we will be able to retire Nanny altogether. And the authority we allowed her to take, we can take back for ourselves by taking full responsibility for ourselves.

To me this is the core aspect of what CA British Isles is showing us. Not leading but encouraging us and supporting us to become truly individual. It is about being an individual with deep down responsibility where Natural Law guides that responsibility. It's about being a self authored responsible individual, where the greater one’s power becomes in the collective creation of the many hubs and groups that are springing up under the CA British Isles banner.

All the services, directories and support on offer can be found on the website, sometimes a little tricky to navigate , only because there is so much excellent information. Couple it together with local and regional meetings where we build relationships and knowledge, recognising and uplifting our energies for the joyous living of life.

Thank you for listening.

Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants by Andy Cole LCHI

An exceptional guide for creating your own Spiritual Healing Garden

This wonderful book brings together the horticultural, spiritual and healing aspects of creating a garden that is pleasing to spend time in while being deeply healing and soothing for the soul. No matter how large or small, different outside spaces can be designed to create the most appealing layout, taking into account energy flow and the placement of trees, plants and herbs with certain healing benefits that bring mind, body and soul into a state of calm.

The Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants is written by Andy Cole LCHI who has joined our Community Health Initiative as a Reiki and Spiritual Healer. Andy grew up on a family dairy farm, cultivating an interest in nature and natural wildlife in the surrounding area. With farming and market gardening being a generational family tradition, it was a natural progression for Andy to feel drawn to the healing energy of plants and herbs since starting his spiritual journey at the age of 20.

It turned out to be no coincidence that Andy had always been drawn to Roses and Foxgloves, not realising that these plants are of and for the heart. With heart disease being prevalent in the family, and following a stress-related scare, Andy made the connection between his attraction for the flowers and his heart-related condition.

The question was, had the energies from these plants helped Andy to recover and could this type of gentle healing help others?

We know that plants, leaves, roots, flowers and herbs have been used for centuries for their healing, nourishing and cleansing properties.I was interested to learn that a lost civilisation known as the Lemurias lived in harmony with Nature around 500,000 years ago. So much so that they did not need to ingest plant essences or remedies for healing, they only needed to be in the presence of the plant to receive its healing effects.

I know that when I walk in Nature, all my senses come into play to take in the sights, smells, textures, tastes and sounds around me. I always feel better from it and it makes me feel good. As Andy says, spiritual or sensory gardens are designed to stimulate our innate sixth sense that brings us into an overall sense of calm. It's a feeling that all is well, resulting in a relaxing experience and a beautiful memory that can be returned to again and again.

I have selected just a few of the ideas from this remarkable book which will be my go-to reference when I am ready to create my own spiritual healing garden.

Designing a sacred space

It is so helpful to find all the different aspects of a healing garden brought together in one place so that you can design a beautiful spiritual space to spend time in - however large or small.

It starts by establishing any natural energy lines that you can take advantage of by positioning paths and other features on, around or leading to these essential sources of life-force beneath your feet. It is helpful to find out all you can about existing trees and plants so that you can use them as features or to provide borders for different areas.

You need to decide where the sitting areas will be and for what purpose, where to install a moving water feature for ultimate meditative relaxation, where to install an archway, a wall or other permanent features that will bring pleasure all year round.

There are many things to consider and there are wonderful examples with guidance on each, depending on what your ideal outcome or usage will be. Items include:

Soil and compost
Trees and large shrubs
Garden threshold or entrance
Gates and doors
Pathways
Ponds, pools and water features
Archways
Functional and ornamental bridges
Benches and seals
Statues and ornaments

In summary, each design has to be especially created to be simple but effective. The simplicity of the garden will help in the relaxation of those who use it.

Plant directory

A tremendous amount of research, study and practical experience lies behind the pages of Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants including the actual aura of some of the most popular herbs which were captured on a special camera.

We learn that plants, flowers and herbs contain ancient symbolic meanings and provide the opportunity for us to connect with spirit through the varying frequencies maintained by different flora of the natural world.

Andy brings these ancient traditions forward to the present day where certain plants, flowers, herbs and trees offer physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, especially when they are treated with reverence and respect.

Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants describes more than 120 different trees, plants, herbs and flowers in terms of horticultural information, preferred soil type, PH value, aspect for planting, flowering periods and size. Information is also provided on culinary, medicinal and spiritual properties.

Herb directory

There is a good selection of herbs in Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants , one of which is a favourite of mine which I wanted to share with you here. I love Lavender for many reasons and Andy has opened up another level of understanding as to what this means. This is just a taste of what you can learn about your favourites ...

A general description of the foliage and flowers for Lavandula Augustifolia (English Lavender Hidcote). Preferred habitat and soil, exposure, flowering period, height and spread, how to plant and prune and when. The many different culinary uses of Lavender surprised me with so many ideas and a warning not to eat flowers from Lavender purchased in florists, nurseries or garden centres as it is not considered a food crop and so they have usually been treated with herbicides and pesticides.

Medicinally, Lavender is used in herbal tea (sparingly), creams, tinctures and natural massage oils for a long list of ailments. Cosmetically, we know that Lavender has cleansing and antiseptic properties making it an ideal ingredient for handmade soaps, skin creams and bath oils.

Herbs are described in the first section of the book, followed by the Spiritual Properties of Plants , At the back of the book you will find lists of plants and herbs used for different purposes such as Relaxation, Working with Angels, Protection and Grounding, Spiritual Development, Depression, Meditation, Bereavement and Fertility. There is also an index so that you find the particular item you are looking for.

The healing garden

Simply reading Spiritual and Healing Properties of our Gardens and Plants will fill your mind with ideas and take you on a journey through a quintessential healing garden where you will learn about its features, plants and herbs.

I am led to imagine a curving pathway edged with each of the colours of the chakras where you can gently tune your inner self to the hidden healing aura of plants and herbs. I imagine breathing in the healing compounds continually being released into the air and certain essential oils that can be released by gently brushing the flowers or squeezing a leaf.

I imagine beautiful colours appearing at different times of the year, the sight of features softened with climbing or hanging plants, the relaxing sound of water trickling into a pond and garden birds singing their songs all around. Then I notice all manner of wildlife that bring the garden alive such as butterflies, bees, spiders, beetles and ladybirds and another wave of wellbeing floods over me.

Andy's book shows us how we can create an outdoor space that provides sanctuary, calm and healing for mind, body and soul. It shows how every investment in Nature brings back invaluable returns and how easy it is to tune in and live in harmony with Nature without having to travel too far to do so.

Stolen Isles by Stuart Hill

Shetland's true status and what it means for the rest of the world

This remarkable book is centred around a pertinent question: Does the UK or Scotland have any real authority in Shetland? It not only provides answers, with unequivocal evidence, but also comes with a clear message for those living in the beautiful Shetland Islands and, by dint of its significance regarding land ownership , to the rest of the world.

Stolen Isles is a seminal book that we should all pay attention to, especially when looking for proof regarding unlawful mortgages and our status in terms of sovereignty and allodial ownership. The foreword is written by retired judge, Geoffrey Care. The following review contains information that will open your eyes to the potential and give you the courage to stand up for your freedom and the freedom of future generations.

A pioneering mission

Stolen Isles is written by Stuart Hill who went on a quest to find out the truth. Like all innovators who dare to question the real origin of things, it has been a labour of love and a tremendous investment in challenging a seemingly mighty foe. It was a pleasure to meet Stuart when he travelled over land and sea to talk to us about his mission at one of our regional meetings in Kernow.

Stuart is a lone pioneer with a library of accrued knowledge that exposes the hidden truth about a system that has encroached on our freedom for centuries. As we know by now, finding out the truth is the first step towards establishing our ultimate autonomy and freedom.

A matter of fact

Shetlanders are well used to being exploited – ever since incoming Scottish Lairds reduced these once sovereign people to little more than serfs in the 15th and 16th centuries. However, in Shetland and elsewhere, few people are prepared to pop their heads above the parapet and take action, even as local communities and amenities are depleted and vast amounts of money are taken without tax payers knowing where their money is being spent.

This applies to anyone paying taxes that are used to bail out bankers and support phoney wars. It means that paying taxes to the government is a criminal act. As Stuart says: Although you are excused if you do not know it, I'm about to tell you, so you can no longer deny it. When war is illegal, paying tax is a war crime, so paying tax while the UK supports illegal wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria makes tax payers war criminals. This is not just some fanciful anti-war nonsense - there is plenty of international and domestic law to support it.

This message is made clear in Stolen Isles with evidence presented on every page. It comes from years of searching and documenting original proof. Stolen Isles is set out in chapters so that every event and year is recorded chronologically with various key documents presented in the appendices. Initial chapters are concluded with: [1469 to 1963] Shetland was not part of Scotland.

For a great many people, Stuart's fastidious work is a wake-up call to inform us that we have all been sold a lie, resulting in a great proportion of the population choosing to bind to and depend on a system founded on unlawful practices that do not have our best interests at heart. This comprehensive, highly articulate and well researched book carries a clear message to humanity and holds a beacon of light to our future.

A beautiful natural landscape

First, a brief introduction to Shetland. It is a stunning part of the world that is remote to many of us and a place I would dearly love to visit one day, especially to experience the extremes of weather and Nature living in peace and harmony with the landscape, the people and the sea. Talking to people who live an amazing life close to the land and sea is always a pleasure, as it was listening to Stuart's stories.

Shetland has a fascinating and unique natural environment. The location of the islands has contributed to the evolution of a truly Shetlandic collection of scenery and geology, bird life, sea mammals, wild flowers and wonderful beaches.

In Spring, the cliffs are alive with seabirds and pink with Thrift - a maritime plant adapted to live in a salt-laden environment. The name comes from the fact that it can thrive in shallow and nutrient-poor soils with little fresh water available. Visitors travel from all over the world to enjoy Shetland’s sensational seabird colonies and migrating rarities. It really is a bird lover’s paradise.

Surrounded by sea, Shetland is the perfect place to watch sea mammals, particularly Common Seals, Grey Seals, Otters, Harbour Porpoises and, occasionally, Orca Whales. There are many boulder-strewn storm beaches as well as stretches of stunning white and golden sands. On land, you will find Shetland's world-famous small ponies that can be seen throughout the islands - grazing by the roadside, on the beaches and on the heathery hills.

Inspired by the dramatic scenery, heritage and culture, Shetland is world famous for its arts and crafts with producers offering a unique and diverse range of handmade creations including traditional knitwear designs handed down through generations, as well as modern and highly original craft work. Growing industries include fishing and aquaculture, tourism, hospitality and the creative arts. It is a travesty that all this is compromised by one of the largest onshore wind farms in Europe, something that Stuart is fighting to have removed.

An independent state

Shetland has a rich history and heritage, marred only by the colonial yoke placed upon it by the British Empire in opposition to international law which states that it is the right of any people to opt for self determination . This right has been hidden to the extent that Shetland and Orkney have been accepted by the world generally as being part of Scotland.

In Stolen Isles, Stuart deals with the issue of sovereignty. Ownership of the land in Shetland is allodial which is synonymous with sovereignty . It is owned by the people of Shetland outright and this has never been taken away.

As Stuart explains: In every Nordic region, including Shetland, the Lawthing was able to make and alter laws within the overall structure of the main law. By electing their king, owning their land outright and by making their own laws, Shetland udallers demonstrated sovereignty in the most profound sense.

An udaller is one who holds property by udal (allodial) rights, the highest form of ownership. In the UK, the Crown is deemed to have allodial ownership of all land in the realm. Subjects have freehold tenure – under the Crown. A unique quirk of Orkney and Shetland's history leaves them with allodial ownership (and innate sovereignty) of their land ownership under God alone.

These rights have never been relinquished, nor extinguished by the Crown. They have been passed down to anyone who is currently a land-owner. This has never been removed by legislation or any other means.

The people remain sovereign and have the strongest claim to determine the future of Shetland, but they have lived in oppression and ignorance for so long and to such an extent that their whole collective psyche has been affected and they have been unable to assert their rights.

The reality that the people of Shetland have to wake up to is that Shetland is its own independent state. There is no legal proof that it ever became part of Scotland and, when challenged, neither of those states makes any claim to Shetland's land or seabed. This is not wishful thinking, it is just plain fact.

This means that, in summary:

The UK can show no proof that Shetland is part of Scotland
Scotland can show no proof that Shetland is part of Scotland
Shetland Islands Council is unable to show proof of its authority
Lerwick Sheriff Court is unable to show proof of its authority
The UK is unable to rebut a claim to Shetland's land and seabed
Scotland is unable to rebut a claim to Shetland's land and seabed
The Crown does not now, and never has in the past, owned the allodial title

If Shetland is not part of Scotland, any Scottish referendum on independence has no relevance or validity and the result cannot be binding on Shetland or Orkney. It means politicians have no mandate and any deals they purport to make are automatically void. It means that the UK is guilty of stealing resources and unlawfully demanding taxes and making austerity cuts.

An unlawfully neat trick

To clarify further, Stuart explains: The court needs both territorial and personal jurisdiction. When I discovered that in Scots law, the authority of the court derives from the sovereign power and that the sovereign power is the same as allodial ownership, it was easy to see that in Shetland the court could not have territorial jurisdiction if the Crown does not own Shetland, but what about personal jurisdiction?

What they hide from us is the fact that we all have two personalities - the living man and a legal fiction person with which we interact with the state. They are not the same. The legal fiction person is nearly always written in all-capitals and you will find it on all official documents. This is quite well known, but my Shetland experience sheds a different light on it.

I figured out that the court gets personal jurisdiction from the Crown's allodial ownership of the legal fiction 'person'. It can't own the man, that would be slavery, but it can own the 'person'. In court, all they have to do is get your consent to be, or act as the 'person'. This is elegantly simple - when Joe Bloggs stands in the dock and the clerk asks: "Are you Joe Bloggs?", Joe simply says "Yes". What the clerk actually asked him was "Are you JOE BLOGGS?" As far as the court is concerned, poor Joe has just agreed to act as the 'person' they own. Gotcha!

This unlawfully neat trick is the basis of 'policing by consent'. When I have answered "I am Stuart of Forvik", "I am the man called by the name Stuart" or anything else apart from "Yes", I have been told that the court has no business with me. They actually admit that the man before them is not the 'person' they wish to engage with. This has implications far beyond Shetland.

Stuart concludes: This puts Shetland in a commanding position in any negotiations and it is up to the people of Shetland to choose what relationship they want with the rest of the world. It means that, if it wants to, Shetland can have a society run completely by the rules its members wish to live by with no domination from outside forces.

It is true that all residents in Shetland should be concerned that the Crown has only a magazine article (with no supporting evidence) to support its authority. This is a matter that has been decided in the courts and the implications are momentous. The same applies to all residents of the British Isles and it is up to us to register this truth in our minds and walk away from a system that never served us and continues to bear down on us without any right to do so.

This is the story of one man's quest for the truth. Having been introduced to the idea that all may not be right with Shetland's constitutional position, Stuart set about finding out the true story. It led him to question everyone who should know how the UK derives its power in Shetland - from the Queen down. Having received nothing but bland assurances, Stuart resorted to breaking the law to test the strength of what by now he had come to regard as an illegal regime. Learning the law as he went along and enduring abuse by the courts and even imprisonment without trial, Stuart eventually managed to get the Crown to reveal that it relies on a magazine article for proof that Shetland is part of Scotland and to prove it has no authority.

All procedes go to The Sovereign Nation of Shetland which works tirelessly to bring the truth to light and establish independence, freedom and autonomy for the people of Shetland and Orkney.

Full of life, love, blessing and empowering insight - Nicola Coombe

JOY in CRISIS is an enlightening book that has received wonderful reviews. Swarupa (Alison) shares what inspired her to write and how it can help to uplift our spirit in these challenging times.

This is no ordinary book. It is as a rare opportunity to burn forests of delusion and set yourself free. A n opportunity to remove the veil of darkness and reveal the light within. An opportunity to win yourself back.

Seeing the despair, fear, and pain that many were facing in 2020, my heart was touched deeply. There was a shared shock and grief. Much of the world was in ‘ lockdown ’ and chaos ensued.

Since then there have been challenging turbulent times of ongoing crisis after crisis it seems. Through all this there is an opportunity and a hidden joy, free from life’s circumstances, that is accessible, effortless, and unfathomable. The joy of True-Self discovery.

This joy is the inspiration behind this book, to uplift our spirit in these challenging times. Positive, encouraging, and profound.

This colourful and enlightening book is easy to read. It unlocks a door to discover who we truly are. To reveal the powerful presence that lies within us, even in times of crisis and pain.

Now is the time for sacred transformation that goes far deeper than personal development. Discover the inner sanctuary of peace and joy that is your True Nature.

This is the great awakening.

Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 17:00:04 GMT

Learning from the Grandfather Teachings of the Anishinaabe People

There are many land-based Indiginous Teachings that we can benefit from. Above all, caring for ourselves, each other and the land to ensure our survival, health and spiritual growth. For many Indiginous Peoples, the Seven Sacred Teachings (also known as the Seven Grandfather Teachings) are timeless guiding principles for living our best lives.

Raechel Wastesicoot is the Culture Manager the Nature Conservancy in Canada. The Seven Sacred Teachings were taught to her by an Ojibwe Elder in terms of how to care for the land and protect wild animals. She shares her understanding in an article: The Seven Sacred Teachings: What we can learn from the species we protect.

The Seven Sacred Teachings are introduced as a teaching and classroom resource by Every Living Thing which helps teachers inspire compassion for animals, people and the environment.

The teachings originate from the Seven Grandfather Teachings of the Anishinaabe People and have been adopted by many (but not all) First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples. The teachings focus on the relationships we have with all of creation and with ourselves and with each other.

The seven teachings include Honesty, Humility, Truth, Love, Courage, Wisdom and Respect, each teaching represented by an animal. Each one teaches us how we can live our lives in harmony and with respect for ourselves, each other and every living thing.

Origins of the sacred teachings

Rocky Morin is Knowledge Keeper of the Enoch Cree Nation in Six Treaty Territory in Alberta, Canada. He introduces The Seven Sacred Teachings as guiding principles to show how we can live our lives in a respectful and sacred manner in harmony with all living things.

The teachings originate from his Anishinaabe relatives, the Ojibwe Nation. They were widely adapted across Turtle Island in North America. Rocky explains that wherever we are in the world and however old we are, we can learn to integrate these core principles and values into our lives for the greatest benefits.

Animal teachings for life

The profound wisdom of the Anishinaabe and Ojibwe People can be found in the following timeless teachings that speak of the beauty of interconnectedness and interdependence. As a spiritual translation of the sacred laws, the teachings guide us towards what is described by the Ojibwe People as mino-bimaadiziwin or The Good Life which is a life lived in harmony, free from contradiction or conflict.

1) The Raven for Honesty

Honesty is a teaching that helps us to learn about ourselves and understand how to be genuine about our intentions and practice honesty towards ourselves, each other and the land. Ravens show us how to work things out for ourselves using the resources we have available. They encourage us to improve our skills, look after ourselves, take advantage of opportunities and protect those around us.

2) The Wolf for Humility

Humility is a teaching that enables us to face up to the reality of our actions and understand the impact we have on each other and the land. Humility is practised when we own up to our shortcomings and are willing to learn from past experiences. Wolves teach us how to work together as a family and how to look after each other. Wolves remind us to be humble by understanding our capabilities, sharing and doing our best.

3) The Turtle for Truth

Truth is a teaching that reminds us to honour what we say, to know our own truth and to develop reciprocal relationships with each other in a natural a cycle of give and take. The Turtle symbolises longevity, perseverance, patience and resilience. They remind us of the importance of perspective and awareness so that we can live a balanced and fulfilled life in the reality of the present moment.

4) The Eagle for Love

Love is a teaching that encourages us to love unconditionally and to receive gracefully in reciprocal relationships with each other and all that Mother Earth sustains. The energy and frequency of love felt and expressed from the heart is represented by the Eagle who soars high in the sky and connects to source. Our Indigenous Elders honour the Eagle as a reminder for us to do the same and to resonate with love, as with love, anything is possible.

5) The Bear for Courage

Courage is a teaching that helps us to face up to our greatest fears and barriers to success which are very often self-inflicted. It makes us think of a Mother Bear (think Mamma Bear) who will stand up to a much bigger Bear to protect her cubs. This is a virtue we must work towards every day so that we become stronger and understand how to free ourselves from perceived anxieties and dangers as we grow.

6) The Beaver for Wisdom

Wisdom is a teaching that shows us how knowledge is gained through experience. This is represented by the Beaver who demonstrates reciprocity, responsibility and respect in how they craft the waterways, work with the land and look after their families. The Beaver teaches us to be productive, to not to limit our options and to work as a team where individuals work for the beneficial of all.

7) The Bison for Respect

Respect is a teaching that underpins all teachings and is represented by the Buffalo who provided all that was needed to live a good and healthy life by Indigenous Peoples. Respect is essential in building reciprocal relationships based on the give and take of generosity and gratitude. The Buffalo reminds us to honour each other and the gifts of Nature through right intention, right action and sharing of the abundance.

There is the prophecy/legend concerning the appearance (birth) of the Great White Buffalo which signifies a time of great change and opportunity, a chance to heal old wounds and usher in a new era of peace and understanding . Great White Buffalo was born in Yellowstone on the 4th June 2024. [SOURCE: Dominic Harvey aka Eagle Heart, Middle Piccadilly Rural Retreat, Member, Community Assembly of the British Isles].

The above teachings perfectly encapsulate the values we hold dear at CA British Isles and AOW and this is why this post has relevance in realising our vision for our communities and humanity as a whole .

Teaching the teachings

I came across the Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings very early on in researching Home Education and was delighted to discover this is offered as a teaching and classroom resource by Every Living Thing .

I am learning that there are many resources available for activities that support flexible, child-led learning. These are being shared in the community as more of us feel inspired to learn about things outside the curriculum and pass them on - just as our ancestors did before us.

The Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings bring us closer to Nature as we learn about personalities and traits found in the living world, they also bring us a set of core values that we can relate to and aspire to live by.

It is time to bring such teachings and wise wisdom into the light for the benefit of our own communities. As the Grandfathers and Grandmothers of life itself, our Indigenous Elders have the best interests of humanity at heart. They love, understand and respect Mother Earth. They show us what we can learn from the natural world and how to make the connection. What better teachers to lead us into the Golden Age!

Thank you for reading and sharing, we look forward to seeing you soon.

History of the Stannary System (Kernow Assembly and Korts Ownder)

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 21:39:34 GMT

The history of the Stannary System (Kernow Assembly and Korts of Ownder) and why it matters for our future peace and happiness

NOTICE TO READERS

Since October 2024 the term 'Stannary Parliament' has been reverted to 'Kernow Assembly' and 'Stannary Courts' to 'Korts Ownder' and 'Stannary Law' to 'Natural Law' as we continue to work on behalf of our Members and local communities across the British Isles and the world to establish our own parallel society and future peace and happiness.

The original (unedited) article follows ...

In a recent interview hosted by Ana Isabel - The Stannary System - with John Gilbert, Community Peace Constable of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI), John explains the true history of the Stannary System and how the Stannary Parliament is helping us to establish our parallel society and future peace and happiness.

To understand the full extent of the Cornish Stannary System and its areas of jurisdiction requires us to go back in history to when King Æthelstan or Athelstan ruled the Anglo-Saxons in Wessex from 924 to 937AD.

In historical times, Kernow was much bigger than it is today. It was the home of the Cornovi and Dumnoni Tribes covering Kernow, Devon, and parts of Somerset and Avon. The Dumnoni were a race that spoke a language called the Brythonic which is where the name Britain first originated from.

The word England, originates from the Old English language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons. It stands for land or territory in Engla Land , meaning The Land of the Angles.

The first King of England

In 936AD, King Athelstan, great grandson of Alfred the Great, created Wessex which absorbed part of the Dumnoni Tribes. Wessex incorporated Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Berkshire, Avon and Mercia (an area bounded by the frontiers of Wales, the River Humber, East Anglia and the River Thames).

King Athelstan was regarded as one of the greatest kings of the Anglo-Saxon age in Britain. He was regarded as a distinguished and courageous soldier who pushed the boundaries of the kingdom to the furthest extent they had yet reached.

This was when he pushed the unruly tribes of Dumnoni beyond the Tamar to the southern-most part of Britain thus separating Kernow from the rest of the country. This created a geo-political entity which preserved much of Kernow's heritage and culture, giving space for its own language to continue for centuries more.

The Stannary Parliament

The Stannary Parliament (first known as The Convocation of the Tinners of Cornwall) was the representative body of the Cornish Stannaries which was recognised by King John of England in 1201. This separate and powerful government institution reflected the enormous importance of the tin industry to the British economy during the Middle Ages.

Special laws for tin miners pre-date written legal codes in Britain and ancient traditions exempted everyone connected with tin mining in Kernow and Devon from any jurisdiction other than the Stannary Courts in all but the most exceptional circumstances.

The Stannary Parliament continued long after 936AD with the last session convened in Truro in 1752 and adjourned in September 1753. However, as the Stannary Charters have never been revoked, the powers and rights of the Stannary Parliaments are still extant.

This means that it has every right to be reinstated and on 2nd March 2024 in Kernow, the Stannary Parliament was brought back into play.

The Treaty of Pardon 1508

As mentioned above, The Treaty of Pardon 1508, has never been withdrawn and in 1977 the question was raised in the House of Commons by the Welsh MP, Daffyd Wigley. He was told categorically that the treaty still runs today suggesting that the charter was still law and that the Cornish Stannary Parliament could one day meet again.

On 20 May 1974, a pressure group assembled in Lostwithiel in Kernow in a bid to reinstate the Stannary Parliament. They (rightly) claimed that they had the power to veto all laws made in Westminster. The Home Office responded by saying they could only accept elections by the Stannary Towns as constitutive of a valid Stannary Parliament but no elections have ever taken place.

Today, we have been led to believe that the Duchy of Cornwall has control over Kernow but when the Duke of Cornwall was asked to reinstate the Stannary Parliament, he simply could not do so as it has to be done by the people of Kernow.

This means that anyone who deems to run Kernow (including MPs and other government bodies) cannot answer where their authority comes from as they have no authority in this regard.

Creating our parallel society

All our volunteer Stannators are members of CABI which means they have agreed to abide by Natural Law. This means we cannot cause any harm so if Cornish people accept Westminster as their ruler and choose to live under that regime using its associated services, they have the absolute right to do so.

As CABI is not in a position to end the Westminster regime and would not do so as it may cause harm to those dependent on the system, all we can do is start our own parallel society which we are creating through our Community Assembly network.

We are gradually gaining strength with 5 wordwide assemblies and 81 assemblies in the British Isles including 22 in Kernow at the time of writing. We have also put in place our Community Peace Service with fully trained Community Peace Keepers and Community Peace Constables together with our own Holistic Health Service with our own Doctors, Dentists and Healers ( Community Heath Initiative ).

The only thing we lack is our own food service which we are currently working on to get local farmers on board. There is much work going on behind the scenes to establish parallel services for all our members so that we can agree our own contracts for utilities and other services, separate from those provided by (or not provided by) Westminster at this time.

The idea of creating a parallel society is so that others can cross over if they wish. Key to note is that people must use their own free will and make their own choices in terms of joining CABI and being actively involved.

Giving away our rights

CABI and our parallel network Assemblies of the World (AOW) are organised as a Private Members' Association whereby members can trade independently with each other while also contracting with external public and private organisations.

In terms of Council Tax in particular, costs for councils used to come from central government but this was handed over to individual councils to collect the money from residents as an additional tax. The irony being that this extra money is sent directly to central government to spend on whatever they wish. Very often, the money sent back to councils is a fraction of the money collected for local services which is why they are in such disarray.

Unknowingly, we have accepted this without question even thought such legislation has no legal standing whatsoever with little benefit to local people for whom the money is intended. When repeatedly asked, local councils are unable to tell us where our money goes and this deception continues with Council Taxes rising to amounts we can ill-afford.

In 1703, a foundational case in UK Constitutional Law and English Tort Law - Ashley v White - ruled that no man can have a law thrust upon him without consent. However, when you vote for an MP, you give Westminster consent to make regulations on your behalf. It begs the question that if the MP you voted for lost, does your consent then pass on to someone else?

Stepping out of the system

If you have registered to vote, you do give your consent to whoever gets elected. However, anyone can step out of the system by withdrawing their name from the voting register. This is not well advertised as you can imagine but councils provide the following information for those leaving a property without informing you that you can do this at any time:

If you or someone has moved out of your property, you can contact us to remove them from the register. We need two sources of information to remove someone from the register. We may contact the person being removed if we can't confirm the sources.

In addition, in 1704, the House of Lords looked at the summing up of the Ashby v White case and stated that the part about giving away your consent to a duly elected representative was incorrect. This means in actual fact that you cannot give your consent without your knowledge making the idea of joinders being created unknowlingly irrelevant.

Our parallel network

For those of us who choose to step out of the system, we can use CABI and AOW to our advantage. This is because we are working with assemblies in America , New Zealand , Australia , British Isles and now Malta to create international agreements on how we run our Community Peace Service and Stannary Courts making it a worldwide endeavour.

The starting point in creating our own courts is to use the Stannary System to bring together 300 people to form our first court in Kernow. We need to prove we have this many people standing shoulder to shoulder who agree to abide by Natural Law . This is done through our sign-up mechanism to become a member of CABI whereby all our members agree to abide by Natural Law and are therefore in agreement to uphold the four tenets which are: Do No Harm, Cause No Loss, Commit No Fraud and Keep The Peace.

Stannary Courts operate under Stannary Law which means as a Stannary Parliament we can create our own laws if we wish to. However, agreeing to abide by Natural Law is enough and we do not need to do anything more. This is because we are not a governing organisation, all our members operate under their own free will.

As agreed internationally, our Community Peace Service provides support whereby Community Peace Keepers and Community Peace Constables are fully trained in arbitration so that they can liaise directly with people in the community to achieve remedies for disputes.

Very often a remedy can be agreed through arbitration before a case needs to be brought to court which is the intention. If a dispute cannot be resolved in this way, Community Peace Constables can recommend that the dispute goes to court.

Calling Kernow Members and Residents of Kernow

Currently, our Community Peace Service is available to CABI members in need of advice or support when dealing with public officials or anyone purporting to have authority over them.

To resolve issues directly with Westminster, MPs, local councils or local authorities, our Stannary Court System needs to be put it place.

This is why we need 300 CABI members who were born in Kernow or who now reside in Kernow to stand shoulder to shoulder so that we can form our first court. This will be for the benefit of all as when this happens as Kernow will be able to charter other enlisted Community Assemblies with 300 CABI members to set up their own courts as well.

Signing up to join CABI is therefore something extremely worthwhile and necessary in our bid to create our own parallel society consisting of independent communities joined together as a network of like-minded souls.

We have 190 CABI members in Kernow at the time of writing so we are over half way there. Please help us to spread the word to encourage those born in Kernow and those residing there to join us. This will be for the benefit of all our members representing a seminal step forward in creating our own parallel society for our future peace and happiness.

Thank you for reading and for sharing far and wide!

Our Aurora Network

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 19:16:50 GMT

Lighting up an Earth grid of energy as we form Community Assemblies and connect people across the globe

Aurōra is a celestial word, meaning the rising of the Dawn,

It's the name for our Aurora Network, as a new era for humanity is born,

Aurora symbolises rebirth, hope, renewal, the start of a brand new day,

For Indigenous Tribes, it's the spirit of our Ancestors dancing in the sky.

Aurora Borealis and Australis, phenomenons of energy and light,

Eponym for Goddess of Dawn, Aurora, and Boreas, God of the North Winds,

As electrons of cosmic frequency merge with gases way up high,

Tiny flashes of light change shape and glow in the darkness of night.

The Aurora is a natural wonder of the world, treasured by us all,

As Indigenous Peoples who walk this Earth with humility, respect and gentle pride,

For the Anishinaabe, Cree, Māori, Eskimos and Aborigines of old,

It's our Ancestors watching over us, uniting us with the greater whole.

These same high frequencies resonate from our inner being,

When we lift our spirits in happiness and feel at peace within,

When we walk this path in trust together, feeling we belong,

To something practical and magical, spiritual and strong.

Our Aurora Network is a circuit board of energetically charged nodes,

An Earth Grid of Community Assemblies connected across the globe,

As our intentions, thoughts and actions charge the Universe with love,

We shine like beacons as we join together, bringing others into the fold.

Who's Jurisdiction - An Interview with Wiremu Williamson

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 15:35:40 GMT

An interview explaining the true nature of jurisdiction and what it means for us

In an important interview hosted by Ana Isabel, Wiremu Williamson known as Bill Williamson, shares his wisdom and experience on the meaning of jurisdiction , how different types of jurisdiction are created and how we can reclaim our sovereignty and property rights on our own jurisdictions on planet Earth as the intended rulers of the Law of the Land.

Background and knowledge

It started in 2005 when Bill wrote his first Affidavit and Bill of Rights pertaining to his Māori ancestory as the original inhabitants of New Zealand. The Māori are indigenous Polynesian people who settled on the land around 500 years ago.

Bill's Affidavit is a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation which can be used as evidence in a court. It states that Bill stands on the land of New Zealand where he can travel freely being indigenous.

It was the lockdown that moved Bill to take action to bring together a Common Law Court. This is compiled of groups (or assemblies) of New Zealanders consisting of 25 to 200 people.

When concerned members demonstrated in Canberra. Bill saw them being directly attacked by the police as he was watching the event at home. It was at this point it was decided that demonstrations were not the way to go. Instead, the New Zealand assemblies have come together as the People's Assemblies of New Zealand with Bill acting as Emissary (no longer active from February 2026).

The New Zealand assemblies continue to grow, bringing groups together and teaching Natural Law to help people understand their rights and the fundamental principles.

As Bill says: 'We have to get jurisdiction out there, get people to realise they don't need to pay bills, they are only 'notices' which are not bills of any kind. They will keep coming at you until you put them straight. It's a process, and we have to inform people how to refuse to consent and step away in the right way.'

The meaning of jurisdiction

Bill became Sui Juris when he declared his Affidavit to live as an indigenous being on his own land where no unlawful (US) company can trespass. Not for any reason. Even if the government installed a meter on Bill's property, at that point it would become his property which means they have no right to demand to come onto his property to remove it, change it or do anything else with it without his express permission.

What this means is that a Sui Juris sovereign individual has the right to stand on his own land. His land is his jurisdiction as is the space around his body (see the law of trespass below).

Jurisdictions are formed by groups of people who agree on a code of conduct. Anyone can form their own jurisdiction. Your local tennis club, for example, has its own jurisdiction as a Private Trust or Private Members' Association. It has its own rules which can be applied to anyone stepping onto the designated property and who can be told to leave according to Laws of Trespass (see below).

This is good news for us as it means we can set up our own jurisdictions in the same way.

As Bill says: 'This has implications for everyone down the line because right now you can stand in God's jurisdiction automatically. Genesis 1:28 gives you the authority to rule (Geneva Bible) or gives you dominion (King James Bible) which is nearly as good.

What we have to remember is that as sovereign beings we rule the Law of the Land as commanded by God in the Bible which is a legal document (see below).

The law of trespass

Trespassing is taken very seriously on Bill's land. He has a statue of a Māori protector by his gate to look over his property which is rightful for him to own. This states that everything within the boundaries are under Bill's ownership and that you are trespassing if you enter without permission. The minute anyone puts anything on Bill's property, it becomes his own. As in the meter example mentioned above.

It is important to know that you also continually stand in your own jurisdiction which is situated around your body. This is the space that travels with you wherever you go, it is where you speak your voice .

A space of 3 foot around you is your jurisdiction. When two people come together the total jurisdiction goes up to 6 foot each. When it's four people it goes up to 20 feet each, and for 20 people it's 100 feet each. It is the people's jurisdiction and it is always there. It is where the people speak as the people's voice.

Imagine the implications for our community assemblies and Community Assembly Hubs? It means we can create our own jurisdictions and by connecting with each other, we can share our knowledge and wisdom to protect, provide for and support each other. It means we become stronger together, standing on our own land, creating our own living environments and doing things together in our own way.

This is why it is so important to keep setting up Community Assemblies through the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI). As all our members have agreed to abide by Natural Law it enables our local and regional assemblies to become jurisdictions in their own right.

It means that when smaller Community Assemblies are formed in the same region, their jurisdiction in that region exponentially increases as they grow.

Setting up a regional assembly is the first priority. This is followed by setting up an increasing number of smaller Community Assemblies across the region. While the large group has less of a footprint, as the smaller assemblies connect with each other, they exponentiallly increase their area of jurisdiction within their region.

This means that the regional assembly can organise new jurisdictional contracts that will establish the provision of regionally required ultilities such as energy, internet and water for its members.

The law of of the land

As we the people stand under God as rulers of the land given to us under the Law of the Land, we own the land. It would therefore be considered treasonous for it to be signed away by anyone or any ' body '. As sovereigns, we have the right to live on our land without intrusion or threat of having it taken away.

However much we lack the education in this regard, and no matter what the so-called authorities say to us, the power is with the people . What many do not realise is that they are unintentionally standing under Admiralty Law (Law of the Sea) which has been constructed to appear to rule the land when it doesn't.

The Bible is a legal document

For Bill, the question as to whether the Bible is a legal document is amusing. Do we not know that every court house in the land and across the world has a Bible in situ? No one can do anything without first swearing-in with a hand on the Bible.

It means we all stand under God's Law but of course, the legal profession does not admit this to us as it would take away their pretend authority status.

Bill confirms to us that ALL law is stated clearly in the Bible or is customary with traditional laws. As such, t he foundation of the entire legal system in the West is rooted in the Bible. Its precepts, insights and parables provide the foundation of shared values upon which we created the Laws of the Land. It is therefore true that the King James Bible is a legal document.

The cons-piracy theorists (that's us)

The truth is we have been tricked into becoming debt-slaves on commercial Admiralty ships which are actually docked on our dry land under Maritime Law. We are under the illusion that all our freedoms have been taken away from us when they have not.

Bill points out that in the eyes of the Maritime Law system, those who do not give away their consent and find their way back to the ' private ' (as in swimming back to the safety of the land) are called 'cons-piracy theorists.'

We are therefore ' pirots ' at sea exposing the tyranny and freeing ouselves and our fellows at the same time.

The law of trusts

The law of trusts is written in Genosis 1:28 where God says we can rule the land. A ' trust ' is a command that you have a right. This has never changed, it is the law of the land.

It means that land has an original ownership , that of the Indigenous Peoples of that land. It means that a fence or wall cannot allow anyone to take over land or claim it as their own without permission from the owners or their decendents.

Bill tells us that even though people come and comandere the land, building on it, killing animals on it, making it seem like they own it and deeming dominance over it, they have no right to rule on the land and by hook or by crook they must be stopped.

A King's treason

On the question of national sovereignty being threatened by the UN/WHO. Our soveregnty cannot be taken away from us because in order for a King to become King, he must swear an oath to become King of the

People . His oath to the people is made in a cathedral and is sworn-in on the Bible.

This means the King only has the right to rule on behalf of the people and must stick to his oath. If he does not stick to his oath and signs away the people's land and sovereignty - this is treason.

The Straw Man's return

I think many of us are by now are familiar with the story of the ' Straw Man' . It is how the government tricks mothers into signing their children away as ' persons ' who are given a nonsensical name in capital letters that can't be read only traded. Completely unawares, we have become unlawfully ' owned ' by the state.

Our birth certificates are turned into bonds worth millions for our entire life's work. These bonds are traded on the stock market ad infinitum . We are thus turned into ' debtors ' from birth and exist as debt-slaves all our lives. We are robbed of our land, property and hard earned money in so many different ways and it only gets worse.

This is why it's time for us to call out the tyranny and bring the Straw Man back to the land where he belongs.

The people rule the land

When Admiralty Law was recognised as being part of Common Law (based on cases that had already been concluded), a ruling was made on a particular case to determine what was ' common '. This was how they brought Common Law into their law to provide a basis of truth rooted in the Law of the Land, Air and Water.

At this point law was split into a) the Law of the Land, owned and ruled by the people, b) the Law of the Sea or Admiralty Law, owned and ruled by commerce under Maritime Law, and c) the Law of the Air or Canon Law, owned and ruled by the Vatacan.

It is clear to see that the latter two parties have created unlawful jurisdictions to impose their unlawful man-made laws, dictates, acts, statutes and mandates on us while trespassing on OUR land.

All land can be traced back to the people who originally found it, nurtured it and claimed it as their own. Bill has exceptional knowledge in this regard which is why we do well to listen to his words.

God does not like 'persons'

Being turned into a Straw Man at birth turns us unknowingly into ' persons ' residing in the ' public ' realm when we are, in fact, human beings living in the ' private ' realm. It is a means to an end for others to put themselves into unlawful positions of ' authority ' where they do all they can to control our lives and steal our creative inputs in the form of our land, property, savings, possessions, efforts, wealth and prosperity.

This is why the term ' person ' is despised by God, as stated in Romans 2:11. God does not like persons created by authorities as no one has the right to control, govern or rule over anyone else. This is God's law.

Finding out about these things and how best we can move back into the ' private ' realm without causing any harm is imperative for our freedom and wellbeing into the future.

It is why CABI and Assemblies of the World were formed and why Bill is clear to introduce John Gilbert and acknowledge his experience and understanding of Natural Law as a Community Peace Constable , his indepth knowledge of the ley of the land in Kernow (particularly) and every city, town, village and hamlet across the British Isles, and, indeed, why the 'United Kingdom' or 'UK' is a man-made, made-up construct.

Everything begins and ends with land and property rights as it stands under Natural Law and the Law of the Land. Both Bill and John have a very clear understanding about these things.

They know the difference between Common Law and Natural Law , why we choose to stand under the latter, how these fundamental truths link together, and why understanding these things is so important for everyone.

A sense of place

Bill recalls how the firest Anglo Saxon and Viking decendents walked on the land of the British Isles and staked their claim to their piece of land in the first instance.

Every hamlet, village, town and city has its own standing stones or stakes that are still here today, staking out the original Clan's land. It means that the land you are living on now belongs to you and your ancestors. It is why we are forming Community Assemblies here and overseas as a lawful mechanism to claim back ownership of our land and our local jurisdictions.

Every place on this Earth has its own jurisduction. This is recorded in history together with how land and different jurisdictions are connected. It means that 13 people (the number needed for a jury) can claim their right to a jurisdiction and set up a court to rule the land they have claimed.

The reason our recognition of rights under Common Law is being corroded is because of ' commerce '. Another man-made construct that has stepped in under Admiralty Law to claim jurisdictions widely applied by parliament to implement their man-made acts, statutes and mandates. These mean nothing under Natural Law and the Law of the Land, and we are not obliged to consent to them.

It is important to know that commercial Maritime Law links directly with Canon Law whereby the Vatican buys all the Straw Man bonds that monetise our value as ' persons ' in the ' public ' realm. This is how the Vatican deems to own us - lock, stock and barrel.

It is why we must 'wake up' so that we can 'rise up from being assumed dead or lost-at-sea' and 'return to the land' where we can rule over the Law of the Land and reinstate our inalienable right to live freely on it.

A call to sovereigns

Bill's final words are profound and quite beautiful. A fitting conclusion to this remarkable interview and all it contains. We hope you will enjoy watching and listening with Ana Isabel's exceptional questions and summaries throughout. It will touch your heart, make you laugh and bring you further clarity.

As Bill says: ' You are men of the land. You were born and bred from Mother Earth which is in your genes genetically. As people, you stand on this land. It is from other lands they try to bring their ways with them and they must be stopped.

You know the way the ley lines work. You know how to turn them, stop them or reverse them. It's all there and there are a few of us the old people will talk to and that's golden. As for John Gilbert, he is golden and people should listen to him.'

Sign your declaration

If you are a member of Community Assembly of British Isles, you will have agreed to abide by the four tenets of Natural Law . This provides a mechanism by which we the people swear an oath to live harmoniously together in harmony with Nature on this beautiful planet Earth.

It is why all our members are invited to sign their own 'Declaration of Assembly Folk of the World' which was compiled over many years by Bill Williamson, Emissary, People's Assemblies of New Zealand and Warren Cavanagh, Emissary, Community Assembly of Australia (no long active from February 2026).

We invite existing members to contact us if they haven't done so already to receive their own Declaration and for new members to join CABI in order to take this important first step on our journey towards reclaiming our sovereignty as rulers of the Law of the Land.

Our sincere thanks to Bill and Ana for such an informative and enlightening interview and to you for helping us to share this cruicial message far and wide.

If you have any questions, please get in touch , we always love to hear from you.

We train and support Community Peace Keepers and Community Peace Constables in their predominant role to help law abiding community members deal with matters of law within the community and to provide support and help to resolve disputes.

Community Peace Service Attributes

We encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to join the service so that every local community can benefit. Anyone who has the desire to proactively support their local community members and uphold the rule of Natural Law will be instrumental in making sure that those who have caused so much grief and corruption in the past never have the opportunity to do so again.

The Community Peace Service is for those who have:

Common sense
A willingness to learn new skills
A desire to uphold the rule of law
Self-motivation
Honesty and integrity
The will to hold those accountable who do wrong.

Community Peace Service Training

The path to becoming a Community Peace Keeper or Peace Constable includes:

Completing the online Peace Keeper course which is free for all.
Attending a full day of theoretical training for working with the public (Peace Keepers) and with Community Law Courts (Constables) - free for all CABI members funded by donations
Completing 3 training outings (mornings or afternoons) with the team to meet shop keepers and residents in your local area - free for all CABI members funded by donations

St Austell Peace Keeper Service is now complete with one Community Peace Constable (John) and 3 Community Peace Keepers (Barbara, Violeta and Chris).

Having completed their theoretical training, the St Austell team have been out and about completing their practical training. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience and interactions which were encouragingly congenial and good natured. Barbara and Violeta found it so empowering, they want to spread the word to everyone.

Introductions are so important and the team were able to try out their opening statement with the following words:

By now you will know that our society is splitting apart and many people are leaving the old system and aligning with the new paradigm. We have had to build a parallel community to equal or better that of the old one with Community Peace Constables, Community Health Initiatives, Community Courts and Community Assemblies so that we have the ability to personally express our own wishes and know that we are responsible for our own destiny.

We still need to polish the wording but by starting with 'by now you will know that our society is splitting apart' seemed to grab people's attention and the uniform was pivotal in making our presence felt and bringing people to us to ask questions.

The St Austell team have completed their training having attended the Stand in the Park event with the group at Heartlands, Pool, South Cornwall on Sunday 14 January, followed by two outings in St Austell on Sunday 21 and 28 January.

Community Peace Service Uniform

It is without question that the Community Peace Service uniform is effective in attracting people to find out who we are and to ask questions. Our berets in particular with ouor silver badge portray a professional image help us to be easily recognised.

United We Stand For Humanity

It’s about uniting and creating positive environments where everyone flourishes

There is a little buzzword that has crept into mainstream vocabulary in the last few years which is 'communitarianism'. Many, understandably, see this as a new way of promoting communism. In truth, it’s difficult to see the difference. For my part, the idea of community has always filled me with dread due to its association with communism. Being of a strongly individual character, I value independence and distrust group rule. My work as a therapist focuses on helping individuals by strengthening their sense of individuality!

I am also an astrologer. This ancient system of wisdom and divination holds within it, many archetypes of human experience. Some archetypes are easy for me to resonate with, others have been more challenging. This is how it is for everyone. It is the reason why some signs rub along together beautifully while others clash.

For me, Aquarius was the big challenge. Aquarius embodies themes of togetherness, oneness, and definitely community. It is about humanity as a whole and can be extremely idealistic. Visions of utopia float from the Aquarius mind. As I always tell my students, one person's utopia is another person’s hell. This is the problem.

Any system which fails to honour the individuals that make up the group, is bound to end in totalitarianism. On the flipside, focusing exclusively on individualism, leads to feelings of alienation. It also means people are easier to manipulate. It is no accident that when cults recruit new members, they look for people who are already feeling alone. They then proceed to further separate them from family and friends, ensuring that manipulation is even easier.

The last few years has made me think very carefully about this delicate balance between individualism and community. Astrology points to collective trends or energies that prevail at any given time. This year has seen Pluto begin its entry into the sign of Aquarius. This is why this theme has been so prevalent in my mind in the last few years. This sign is associated with Revolutions and, as previously mentioned, humanitarian ideals. It is also about community. Pluto is about extremes, power, control and transformation. Pluto’s pending entry into Aquarius had me worried. Did it mean extreme control through technology for the sake of communitarian ideals?

Some deep thinking led to different conclusions. Teaching and writing about Astrology means that I’m often thinking about the future. Three years ago, I began to write about these themes. My conclusion was that Aquarian Revolutions are always a reaction to extreme top down control. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius saw the American and French Revolutions. Each was a reaction to extreme control and abuses of power. The American Declaration of Independence was very Aquarian in its ideals. The French declaration of “Equality, Fraternity and Liberty” was also very Aquarian in intention.

Aquarius follows Capricorn, a sign of governance, institutions, social structures. Pluto in Capricorn always sees periods in which governments exercise extreme control leading to Aquarian revolts. This time, I reasoned, the revolution would have a real grass roots flavour. It would not involve violence as most of humanity has had enough of that and in any case we would easily overpowered and destroyed by the weapons held by those in control. Instead, I saw groups of people coming together and quietly resisting tyranny. I began to understand the ideal of Aquarius. A choir is made up of individual voices singing together in harmony. Each voice is unique and vital to the choir.

This year as Pluto entered Aquarius in the Spring, I suddenly became aware of a number of different groups dedicated to creating a new way of living. Some focused on farming, others on health or food security. I became excited. Then I found the Community Assembly of the British Isles known as CABI.

Here I found the Aquarian ideals at their best. New communities, Natural Law, decentralised power. The idea of collaboration is essential. In fact as a mental health practitioner, I am very aware that being part of a community is vital for individuals. Part of the healing process is about helping my clients find groups they can connect with - be it family, friends or clubs. We are social animals. We might need time on our own but we also need to be a part of a family, a team, a community.

This then, is why I joined CABI.

We need a simple structure that empowers individuals. In order to achieve this, we need to work together, creating communities that work with a common aim. It’s not about denying individuality. It’s not about the needs of the many overriding the needs of the few.

It’s about uniting and creating positive environments where everyone flourishes; communities at their best! United we stand, divided we fall.

The TEAM in Teamwork

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 09:25:00 GMT

Working together as a team makes us stronger, safer and happier in the long run.

As we are now into Autumn here in the British Isles I get a sense that we are lining up for something . I am not sure if it is a good or bad something but I am sure we will know very soon.

We maybe can't fail to see (or should not) how they (the perceived powers that be) are flexing their muscles by ramping up the heat and fear on us. With their legislative measures that continue unabated, and with the further threat of an emerging floating bug that may make us ill.

Is this a desperate attempt to get us under control?

I think it might be just that.

It makes me think that these desperate acts by them are a sign that maybe breaking us down is not going the way they planned and the cards they have left to play are getting fewer.

Once they have revealed all their cards, then the game is open and everyone will know and see what we have before us.

Some of you may not agree with what I have said there for many reasons and that's fine. We all have our own opinions and perspectives on things.

What I do believe is that we need to keep actively pursuing the solutions and moving forward towards a goal of building or creating something better for ourselves till the job is done and this old corrupt , broken way of things is left behind and in the past .

We will not get it sitting and watching while the world takes shape around us.

One of the things that comes out in conversations is that they (the perceived powers that be) have all the technology, weaponry and manpower to do whatever they please, and this is true.

What we forget is that they have been using it quietly, meaning they can't just do it in the open. This should tell us all something, shouldn't it?

It is because of us, the people.

So why haven't they used all this power and technology to simply end it all?

Why haven't they used their power and technology to hit the kill switch?

Something is stopping them.

That something is us.

We the people have so much power in ourselves if we could only realise it as a collective. Individually, we see it and believe it, more so, we know it and live it within our souls and within our daily lives.

We can do so many wonderful things and when we come together we can achieve so much.

They know this.

These times we find ourselves in today have not been experienced before. In the respect of a move for control on a global scale by a faction that thinks it ought to have control and ownership over us, the control they continue to exert on us covers both the physical and spiritual aspects of our lives.

We are in a war that is and will continue to affect all our lives, our lifestyles. our way of life and our very existence.

What our lifestyle, way of life and existence is - and will look like - going forward needs to be decided by us. It begs the question: 'Do we stay as we are now and make the best of it?'

Or: 'Do we move away from the past with the understanding that it cannot be fixed?'

I believe a bright future is in our grasp and is something that we can have, what we should have and what we need - if we choose to go for it.

I cannot accept a life under the control of others and I for one will stand by what I believe and know to be true in my heart and soul until the day I die. If I die before I get to see the people of this world move away from the corrupt, unfair and unjust existence to achieve a better free, fair lawful and just society, I will do this knowing that I have stood for what I believe and know to be true.

I will then go with the knowledge and peace that I did it trying to help to make a change, that I was not turned or gave up trying. I will know that I left this current existence free and clean.

For all of us moving forward, this could be a great opportunity to make a brighter future for ourselves. This requires us to understand who we are and to believe in ourselves. We need to see and understand the problem, take a little action, work together to find solutions and create what we want going forward.

If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.

African Proverb - Martha Goedert

We do need togetherness.

We need our communities to come together to do what is needed to make our futures our own.

You may hear the word communitarianism being banded about and why community and togetherness is bad for us.

I think a certain quote was: 'It harms individual growth.'

Really? I can't see it, can you?

These are ploys to divide us and get us away from coming together. They (the perceived powers that be) think we should stay separated but it's just another ploy or tactic to keep us apart and make us weaker.

Think about it!

Are we not stronger when we are working together, like a team?

And what does a team do?

T - Together
E - Everyone
A - Achieves
M - More

We are still individuals but we are certainly much stronger together.

The Light Wave

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 12:11:39 GMT

The Light Wave movement is a simply idea to join us together and quicken the awakening

This is a vision, an idea for a simple, easy-to-execute movement to support and further awakening.

In a broader meaning, it holds the potential to produce greater and greater impact being highly visible, completely peaceful, and non-confrontational. As such it bypasses all forms of mass media and ffosters the type of communication that happens in the most impactful way – locally and face-to-face.

Let’s call it the Light Wave.

The Light Wave is a call to stand up and be counted

Public consensus has long been defined and delivered to us through agenda driven media, corrupted elections and a captured entertainment industry. Behind the scenes, some seem to have a handle on our numbers, but how are we to know our own community’s sentiments? This movement literally shows our majority, visibly, on the ground.

The Light Wave is a call to unite

Alternative, social and mainstream media provide widely varied details, opinions and timelines. On a higher level, the messaging is largely consistent, centering around personal and societal growth. This movement provides a single, recognizable standard to keep us collectively focused on common goals.

The Light Wave is a call to speak up

Many feel isolated. Many are reluctant to discuss current events and spiritual topics with friends let alone neighbours. How different would our conversations be if they could start with shared viewpoints? This movement publicly and calmly displays our individual commitment to truth, dedication to freedom and awareness.

The Light Wave is a call to act

We are living through an ever-increasing series of interconnecting whirlwinds coupled with deluges of often conflicting, often changing information. Is it any wonder that many are asking “What can I do?”, “What should I do?”, “What difference can I make?”. This movement is an opportunity to take that one first step - to stand up and be counted, to speak up, to unite. This will lead to local ideas, local assemblies and local activities.

This is how we start the Light Wave:

Keep a night light shining

It can be a porch light, a candle in the window or outdoor holiday lights.

Display the Light Wave icon

Wear it as a pin, make a t-shirt, print it and put it in the window of your car. You can download the artwork for free to use for any of these purposes - let's get creative!

Share the Light Wave

Encourage others in your circle to participate.

Foster local connections

Say hello and engage with to those displaying lights or the icon.

Discover common ground

Focus conversations on central goals rather than dwelling on individual beliefs and methods.

Assemble into peaceful groups

With other like-minded souls, organise to share information, form local assemblies, and plan local actions that will benefit your community and support the common good.

Spread the Light Wave

As lights and icons begin to pepper local landscapes, others will notice and start to ask questions. Be available to respond and encourage new participation. As momentum builds, we will link arms with friends and neighbuors, across our communities, across our countries, and around the world.

Above all, be the light and shine your light on the world.

Requirements for Change

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 15:28:15 GMT

Understanding resistance to change informs how we can create our own caring community cultures

Many of us would agree that the controlling and destructive 'globalist culture' being forced upon us without our say is no longer tenable, sustainable or desirable. It represents an existential threat to caring and conscientious human beings who want the best for everyone and wish for peace in this world.

In our bid to create the changes we want to see, it is important to understand that the greater the change required, the greater the resistance will be towards it.

This is because human beings are hard-wired to resist change due to a part of our brain known as the 'amygdala'. This forms the core of a neural system processing fearful or threatening stimuli and is responsible for the detection of threat and the activation of fear-related behaviours. It is why many people, when presented with a new initiative or idea - however good the long-term benefits are - tend to resist it.

This ties in with a human phenomenon known as 'loss aversion' whereby the power of loss is considered to be greater than the power of gain [Kahneman & Tversky, 1979]. It is why issuing penalties in a work environment (for example) is considered to be more effective than providing incentives that reward and motivate people for doing 'the right thing'.

Understanding our natural resistance to change helps us to address issues within ourselves and make a commitment to contribute to the wider changes that need to take place in our society. It helps us to understand the importance of having a clear vision for the future whereby any loss far outweighs the benefits to ourselves and future generations.

The end of an illusion

The failure of the 'Great Promise of Unlimited Progress' is explained by Erich Fromm in his comprehensive analysis of the crisis of modern civilization - To Have or To Be - which was first published in 1976.

Fromm reflects on outcomes of the 'Great Promise' from the Industrial Revolution (steam) - 1780 to 1840 through to the Scientific/Technical Revolution (electric) - 1940 to 1970. The same outcomes can be applied to the Digital Revolution (electronic) which started in the early 70s and continues unabaited.

Fromm states that: 'The Great Promise of Unlimited Progress was the promise of domination of Nature, of material abundance, of the greatest happiness for the greatest number, and of unimpeded personal freedom which has sustained the hopes and faith of generations since the beginning of the Industrial Age.'

In reality, Fromm concludes that ever growing numbers of people are becoming aware that:

Unrestricted satisfaction of all desires is not conducive to wellbeing or happiness;
The dream of being independent masters of our lives ended when we became cogs in the bureaucratic machine with our thoughts, feelings and tastes manipulated by government and industry, and the mass communications they control;
Economic progress has remained restricted to the rich nations, and the gap between rich and poor nations has ever widened;
Technical [and now technological] progress itself has created ecological danger and the dangers of nuclear war.

I am sure this rings a bell and for many of us it's more like alarm bells ringing. As main stream media continues to perpetuate the rhetoric of this ever elusive 'Great Promise', our dissatisfaction and concern with the status quo exponentially increases.

Recognising societal trauma

Fromm makes an excellent point when he says we not only have to understand the problem, we need to be aware of the generational trauma caused through each of these 'revolutions' and that this failure continues today, creating ever-increasing threats to our quality of life and the continuation of life itself.

As we continue to share our vision for the future , it is important for us to remember this, and that resistance towards change often stems from an underlying fear (of the unknown) and unawareness that there is a viable alternative.

A key priority for the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) and Assemblies of the World (AOW) therefore is to let people know there is an alternative and that we are here to welcome fellow human beings into the fold. The aim is for us to support each other and work together to make the transition from the current domineering culture of 'having' to the caring culture of 'being' that we so desire.

Creating 'island' cultures

Having realised we are living in a hostile environment and that we want this to change, one way is to develop 'island cultures' that follow the principles of 'self-organisation ' and 'self-regulation' by which group members take responsibility for their attitudes and behaviours towards and within the group.

The eventual aim is to achieve a 'critical mass' of motivated groups and individuals who practice 'quality values' or 'positive value characteristics' on a daily basis to create a new cultural style that becomes the desirable norm for everyone.

This establishes 'culture' as a psychological contract which is honoured by all sides because it is perceived to be fair by everyone and has everyone's best interests at heart.

This aligns with our vision for Community Assemblies and Community Assembly Hubs whereby 'motivating and supportive community cultures' are set up as 'island cultures' where self-regulating individuals can thrive.

The organisation of human communities and the establishment

of freedom and peace are not only intellectual achievements

but spiritual and moral achievements as well.

Erich Fromm, To Have Or To Be,

Steps to change

Knowledge plays an important part in the discernment phase of our awakening. It is important for us to seek out wilfully hidden truths so that we can make informed decisions about changes that need to be made.

In our quest for health, happiness, peace, freedom and prosperity we need to do all we can to make sense of the world and our part in it.

With this in mind, we need to be aware that any form of change involves a period of transition to achieve individual and collective transformation. The following steps provide a guideline that we can all follow:

Recognise there is a problem (even if you believe you are not part of it and have made the effort to change).
Recongise that symptoms are the result of an underlying cause so that you can make an accurate diagnosis of the problem using truthful knowledge acquired.
Understand reasons for resistance to change (fear, loss, trauma) and what needs to be done both personally and collectively to overcome them.
Identify solutions from a micro (self) and macro (community) perspective, make a meaningful commitment to change and create a realistic plan of action.
Take the required action to remedy the causal factors which led to the problem and monitor results as a process of continuous improvement.

Reaping the rewards

It is clear it is no longer an option for us to relinquish our freedom, peace and future happiness for the 'convenience' of having everything done for us.

The time has come for us to join together to take charge of the situation. It means making a commitment to the changes we need to make for ourselves, our communities and humanity as a whole.

Avoiding the issue or burying our heads in the sand goes against Natural Law . Creating a beautiful life on Earth for all people is a two-way street - we each have to make an effort to do the work required.

Only then can we reap the rewards and benefits of our good intentions.

The Real Story of the 'Lord of the Flies'

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 14:51:55 GMT

Debunking a work of fiction to replace it with a true story about the beauty of human nature

Over the years many of us will have heard made-up stories that even though we know they are not true, have in some way, altered our perception and understanding of the world in which we live. No more so than spurious stories that make us question our self worth and innate goodness as spiritual and conscientious beings.

A perfect example of this impervious influencing of perceptions to believe untruths can be found in the made-up story of the Lord of the Flies - a book published by William Golding in 1954 which over the years has sold over 25 million copies.

This work of pure fiction features a group of British boys deserted on a desert island and paints a grim picture of their fate. The story relates how the boys descend into an abyss of feasting, frolicking and pig hunting in a progressively reckless and dangerous manner resulting in the death of 3 and the appointed 'golden boy' leader weeping for the end of innocence.

The story is challenged in Rutger Bregman's exceptional book, Humankind: A Hopeful History where he uncovers the background of the author who had a reputation for pitting pupils against each other and who considered pontificating about the nature of man to be 'a more urgent matter than actually meeting people.'

With this in mind, Rutger wanted to know if there was a real story about boys being shipwrecked and left to their own devices on a deserted island. To his delight, he found such a story in a local Australian newspaper which was turned into a short documentary by Channel 7 in 1966 entitled Six Tongan Castaways in Ata Island .

It turns out that the contrast between the schoolmaster's fantasty fiction and the real story is quite remarkable.

The real 'Lord of the Flies' is a story of friendship and loyalty, a story that illustrates how much stronger we are if we can lean on each other.

Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

Escaping to Fiji
The real story starts in an Anglican boarding school in Nuku'alofa on the north coast of the island of Tongatapu which is the main island of Tonga in the country's southernmost island group. It involves 6 boys between the ages of thirteen and sixteen who longed for adventure and came up with a plan to escape to Fiji some 500 miles away in a 'borrowed' fishing boat.

Taking little time to prepare, the boys set sail with only a bag full of bananas, a few coconuts and a small gas burner. In a calm sea with a mild breeze they fell asleep, drifting an incredible 200 miles before being suddenly awakened by crashing waves. They hoisted the sail which the wind tore to shreds and drifted for another 8 days before spying a small island in the distance.

Working as a team

During those 8 days without any food or water the boys started working together as a team. They tried catching fish to no avail but managed to collect rainwater in hollowed-out coconut shells which they shared by each taking a sip in the morning and in the evening.

Having made a pact to never fall out with each other and to always remain friends, when they reached the island they established the following ground rules:

Never let the fire go out
Never wilfully cause an argument
Impose 'time-out' on disagreements whereby each party is sent to opposite ends of the island until they are able to agree on differences and apologise to each other
Always work in pairs
Adhere to a strict roster of duties for the garden, kitchen and guard duty
Come together to say their prayers and sing songs at the end of each day - accompanied by a guitar made out of driftwood, coconut shells and steel wire salvaged from their shipwrecked boat

In stark contrast to the make-believe tale of the 'Lord of the Flies' where the boys came to blows over everything presented to them, what these young people achieved during the 15 months of their stay on a deserted and unihabitable island was truly inspiring.

Creating a homestead

When the boys were finally rescued by an Australian Sea Captain, Peter Warner, on Sunday 11 September 1966, all the boys were in peak condition.

Not only had they survived a Summer without rain, a hand-made raft breaking on the surf, a tree falling on their hut in a severe storm and a broken leg set perfectly using sticks and leaves, the boys had built a small homestead which included:

A well-stocked garden
Hollowed out tree trunks collecting rainwater
A gymnasium with various curious weights
A badminton court with hand-made rackets
Well-stocked chicken pens
A permanent fire - tended from day one

All this with just an old knife, creative handiwork and much determination - clearly demonstrating the ingenuity, foresight and tenacity of the human spirit, the true essence of humankind.

He who tells the stories of culture really governs human behaviour.

George Gerbner

Understanding the deception

The 'Lord of the Flies' and it's worldwide promotion as a 'genuine' exploration into the essence of human behaviour is a classic example of Vaneer Theory in action.

This concept was identified by primatologist and ethologist, Frans de Waal, in the early 2000's, in a bid to challenge scientists and popularisers who declared without any evidence that 'human morality and kindness is just a thin veneer over an otherwise nasty human nature.'

The true version of the 'Lord of the Flies' tells an entirely different story about human nature and we all have our own to tell.

The irony is that 'Lord of the Flies' was so widely read it became the unwitting originator for 'reality TV' where candidates are led on, plied with alcohol and played against each other in the name of 'entertainment.' Over the years, it has been proven that people watching these shows become more aggressive and that children are being led to believe that telling lies is the only way to get ahead in life.

Bringing truth to light

This epic tale demonstrates just how much manipulation is required to bring out the worst in people and the effect this has on our collective consciousness. Lionel Trilling, an influential critic of the book said the novel 'marked a mutation in culture' and despite this fact, in 1983, the author received a Nobel Prize in Literature for his parables of the human condition. In fact, he was so revered in literary circles he was knighted in 1988 and in 2008, The Times newspaper ranked him third on its list of 'The 50 greatest British writers since 1945'.

Meanwhile in the real world, according to the American Library Association in 2019, 'Lord of the Flies' was listed as one of the top ten most frequently banned and challenged books in the nation. Taught in 9th-10th grade classes in schools, parents, school administrators and other critics have complained about the language and violence in the novel with bullying rampant throughout the book as one of the main plot lines.

Despite being referred to as a book promoting a 'pro-slavery ideology' teaching the wrong message to children, all challenges over the years have been buffed by lawmakers upholding the first amendment. It brings to mind a quote by George Gerbner: 'He who tells the stories of culture really governs behaviour.'

This we are gradually changing as we bring the truth to light, reminding us to be aware of such deceptions, to use our common sense and to always look for the good in people as this is the true essence of humankind.

Realising Our Vision Through Shared Values

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:30:00 GMT

Our vision, mission and values are an important first step towards creating our ideal community culture

We have already established a clear and compelling vision for the future as a cooperative worldwide alliance. This sets out the 'why' behind our intentions and the 'what' behind what we want to achieve. It provides meaning and purpose to serve as a guide for making decisions and taking action. Our mission encapsulates the 'how' and our values are those we share naturally as sovereign community members.

This clarity of purpose has served us well in attracting and welcoming new members to the fold through our 'founding phase' of bringing the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) and Assemblies of the World (AOW) into fruition. It has helped us establish a firm foundation in a supportive environment across our 'aurora network' that will continue to nurture our blossoming future together.

As we have tipped into the 'development and transition' phase of our organic evolvement, we must now keep the momentum going by building on what we have created and working together as a team of many teams. We have three years to establish 18,400 assemblies which means there is still much work to be done.

This is why it's a good time to revisit our shared vision, mission and values and start thinking about how we are going to realise our goals now and in the years to come.

It means it's time to abandon the old system as best we can with more means and support available for us to do so. We can then focus our hearts, minds and energy on designing a new way of life for ourselves, for our beautiful home on planet Earth and for future generations - from the ground up.

Our vision

Our vision for CABI was our starting point for the website together with our mission and values. These have recently been updated to include our association with our parallel network, Assemblies of the World. These value statements run through the heart of what we do and resonate with all our members as something we aspire to achieve ' for and by the people .'

To establish a cooperative network of services and knowledge-flow for self-sufficient Community Assemblies and Community Assembly Hubs across the British Isles, and in association with our parallel network, Assemblies of the World, in support of our local, regional and wider communities.

Everything rests on establishing an active network of Community Assemblies here and overseas. Enlisting our 'founding assemblies' has been our first priority which has involved many hours of hard work and resolve from everyone involved.

We send out thanks all our Founding Facilitators, Emissaries, CHI Practitioners, CABI members and International Friends who have made the commitment to abide by Community Law and take action in their communities when most would not during the early stages.

Our mission

Our mission focuses on developing our directories and services as we build our membership, liaise with potential members, create helpful content, send out updates, answer enquiries, develop our framework and deliver our services. We are here to support members who are actively joining together, learning from each other, and pooling skills and resources to establish the best ways to serve their communities and the wider world.

To provide a platform for publishing and sharing the knowledge and experience gained by community members and local groups working together in harmony for the good of all. To progress the growth of our network here and overseas and provide support for local people and their community facilitators.

More of us are taking on the mission to play our part in making connections, organising activities and making things happen in our communities. We now have the knowledge, information and resources we need to forge ahead and build on the hard work invested and progress we have achieved so far.

Our values

Our values encompass our intention to work in the best interests of our members, and humanity as a whole, at all times. Our values underpin our intentions, help us to build trust and enable us to provide an equitable, friendly, kind, respectful and effective service to each other and those who depend on us.

Working together to build caring and motivating cultures founded on shared values where everyone is treated fairly and supported to make a valued contribution to community objectives according to Natural Law and in harmony with the values and wider aims of the Community Assembly of the British Isles and Assemblies of the World.

These top-line value statements describe the ideal from which we can establish a definition of the ethical values we commonly share. This can be done by using an original academic model for 'motivating community cultures' as described below.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

Buckminster Fuller

Defining our culture

With our shared vision, mission and values in place, the next step is to define the culture we want to create and are already creating for our communities. This will provide a practical framework for us to live together in harmony and thrive as individuals and teams as a cooperative network.

We can already see such enriching cultures being created by Community Assemblies working together on the ground and they are making great progress. The ethos demonstrated in A Community Assembly in Action is a wonderful example of Founding Facilitators driven by a passion to make life better for everyone.

Many of our Founding Facilitators (and Emissaries) have reported a kind of 'telepathy' whereby all parties simply 'know' the best thing to do in accordance with their moral compass and common sense. They are able to take the initiative and get things done that much more quickly, enjoyably and effectively.

As Community Assemblies, facilitators and members of the community come together to make important decisions, make suggestions and take action without fear of retribution. They feel a sense of belonging in an open and caring environment. They ask for feedback and make amendments. They learn and improve as they go along, building on achievements, trying things out and being open to new ideas ... and so it goes on.

If only we could capture that ethos and put it in a jar, I wonder what it would look like?

It would provide a wonderful framework that we could all aspire to. Realising our ideal 'motivating community culture' is something we could all benefit from and add value to with our unique knowledge, skills and experience. It would enable us to design a universal model that we could all feel proud of.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity,

and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things .

Isaac Newton

Defining our intentions

With these overarching aims and objectives in mind, it is up to all of us to think about the future we want for ourselves and the Community Assemblies we are part of and would like to create. There will be many commonalties and many differences we can share and enjoy to increase our knowledge, broaden our perspective and get the things we need without having to keep re-inventing the wheel.

The benefits are multi-fold and here are a few that spring to mind:

Confidence - living for today knowing what we want and where we want to go
Friendship - joining together to share ideas, support each other and form lasting bonds
Purpose - working together to do the things we enjoy and make a valued contribution
Creativity - doing things in our own way as part of a supportive network of fellow sovereigns
Free Will - being accountable in order to build trust within and between communities
Fulfilment - supporting everyone to learn and grow in a creative and caring environment

The energy created by the individuals, groups and networks who internalise and live by these values is beyond measurement. When our Emissaries, Community Assembly facilitators, advisors and members work together for the benefit of the wider community - magic happens .

It's already happening and more frequently. Only this last week three new local assemblies joined together in Cornwall to meet up regularly to discuss plans, share ideas and pool skills and resources.

Raising the bar

As we welcome in the March Equinox at the end of Winter and ease ourselves jubilantly into our new flow of 'building, development and transition', I hope this provides some food for thought and that you will feel inspired to take action.

I wish you all a beautiful start to Spring as we prepare to take things to the next level.

No More Storms

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 22:49:06 GMT

Give thoughts some downtime, embrace some rest, no one said it’s a competition or a race.

Life, on a daily basis, is not easy, sometimes it’s pure bliss and pleasurable but at other times it’s really quite tumultuous- it can often get us down.

But if we believe that that is all there is and we don’t spend time isolating ourselves away from the madness: not reading the media, listening to the news or listening to gossip, and not getting involved in other people's dramas, then we can find that peace, we can find moments of tranquillity within the storms.

It’s magic, when we can find the calm within the storms that surge around us!

A trickle of water, the ice still not set,

for time is the keeper of wonder.

The eternal mind disconnect and forget,

and the questions of deepening we ponder.

Stray thinking of distraction, the illusory quest,

and the sound of the water gains pace.

Give thoughts some downtime, embrace some rest,

no one said it’s a competition or a race.

The ice-shelf cracks as it pulls away,

drifts free on that sea of wonder.

Calm in translucence, free of affray,

and no more storms of decay or plunder.

Creating a Community Assembly

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:45:19 GMT

Taking our lead from Nature by coming together to work in harmony as a community.

Over the last few years there has been so much going on that many of us have found it difficult to navigate through it all, let alone make sense of it.

With the kung flu, lockdowns, this crisis, that crisis, price hikes, scandals, truck loads of lies and deceit, it is no wonder we have been confused, compounded by media tales and biased reporting.

All in an age with so much information shared across social networks and yet, at the same time, such huge censorship on anything that breaks the entrenched narrative.

Information overload

Many may wonder if the information we are seeing is real or fake and I know I find myself asking this question over and over again.

Information and knowledge is great to have isn't it? But it can have a negative effect also. It seems that we have been deliberately flooded with so much false information that we are distracted from what is important. This misplaces our sense of focus so that we lose our way

If we feel we are running around like headless chickens, this is by design. The so-called 'powers that be' know this. They believe that if they give us so much input with enough to doubt its authenticity we will become fragmented. They know we live on our mobile phones, social networks and YouTube channels these days and this is being used to get us away from focusing our attention on what really matters.

So what do we do?

It's simple.

Taking back our power

Only take what information you need to assess what is right or wrong and then take action to fix the things that need fixing. One of the biggest fears our adversaries have is us coming together and realising that we have greater power than them.

This is our power, the 'power of the many' as in those of us who say, 'No!'

Learning from Nature

We can learn so much from Nature and when we think of the ants and the bees, we see how they work together as one, focusing on what they are doing to help further their community.

Single bees and ants who stray from their nest or community, or get lost, are easy targets.

But ...

Would you mess with a whole swarm of bees or a whole nest of biting ants on your own?

I don't think so, do you?

Coming together and working in harmony, just like the ants and bees, is so very important for us right now.

Bringing people together

We need to take action together with like-minded people in our localities, building or becoming a part of a community. This is what brings people together and binds us, making us so much stronger.

Understand and take note that this is not what is wanted for us folks.

Creating a group in your local area should be easy enough but it means you are still somewhat isolated.

There is an alternative ...

Joining or creating a Community Assembly and 'plugging in' to the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) network is a better way. Joining us as a Founding Facilitator or member allows you to access to an entire network of Community Assemblies, not just in the British Isles but across the world through our parallel network, Assemblies of the world.

It would be great if you joined us.

Doing it your way

There are many benefits for CABI facilitators and members, not least becoming part of an established network of like-minded people with free access to knowledge, resources and expertise gathered from members of the British Isles and the Assemblies of the World.

How much time and effort you put into your local (or regional) Community Assembly is your choice.

As Founding Facililtators you are the boss, liaising and working with your community to make all the decisions and do things in your own way.

So folks, don't let yourself get distracted by the bullsh#t.

Lift yourself free.

Get focused and stay focused.

Go and do the very thing they don't want you to do.

And above all be happy.

A Community Assembly In Action

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 15:11:58 GMT

Working together as a community brings fun, safety, a sense of belonging and purpose

Community Assemblies are founded by residents who are dedicated to creating a more sustainable, fair and just way of life to uphold and preserve the inalienable rights and obligations for each other, the Earth and future generations.

It takes three Founding Facilitators to form a Community Assembly with each facilitator being a member of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI). This means that facilitators provide a direct link between the network and the people who become part of the whole influencing every decision made.

A great start

A wonderful example of local people coming together to form Community Assemblies and actively work on projects in the community is the Community Assembly of Salisbury . Founding Facilitators, Jo Castell, Jo Elwell and Becky Smith came together to talk about how they could make a difference in their local community.

Taking it upon themselves to bring people together by organising meetings, events and various local activities, their guiding principle is focused on sharing knowledge to empower and the wellbeing of the community.

Shortly after becoming members of CABI and enlisting the Community Assembly of Salisbury on our Group Directory, Jo, Jo and Becky joined together with Jacqui Ellis, Patricia Gordon and Gabrielle Attwood who later formed the Community Assembly of Wiltshire to establish a group for the county.

A formidable team

Since forming their assembly last August, Jo, Jo and Becky have become a formidable team bound by the same guiding principles. By contributing their time and hard work to organise and try out different formats for meetings and events, and by listening to feedback from attendees and making adjustments, the Community Assembly of Salisbury is growing from strength to strength.

Here are some of the things the assembly has achieved over the last 12 months, shared here to provide inspiration and guidance for other Community Assembly facilitators and members across the network.

Healing Events & Courses

One of the most important roles of CABI and our enlisted Community Assemblies is to provide guidance, teaching and remedies in Natural Healing and Natural Health. With an increasing awareness of the dangers of allopathic medicines and treatments this is proving to be a popular topic of interest and service for local residents.

Sound Bath Event

Last November, two of the Community Assembly's Natural Healers, Rowan and Sandra, held a meditation for the world and beyond with a Sound Bath for the local community. Everyone enjoyed the event and felt it was of great benefit to the group and wider community. Another event is being organised for this year with ongoing discussions on how to form a 'Healing Hub' for the community.

Herbal Remedies Presentation

A regular community assembly meeting provided the opportunity for local healer, Chris, to talk about several balms, tinctures and tablets he had made with wild lettuce tablets providing a natural alternative to paracetamol (see photographs below). Chris has been following a book called 'The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies' and is gradually building his own array of natural herbal remedies.

Wellbeing Expo

A highly successful Well Being Collective Expo was held in February as a mini-taster event with sessions from a wide array of natural therapists. This provided a perfect opportunity for attendees to receive guidance and find out which treatments might suit them best.

This event raised £125.00 for the assembly and it was decided that these funds would be put towards venue hire and advertising for the next healing day being held on 1st April 2023. There was a fantastic energy to the hall that day and Rowan said it was wonderful to see the healers and helpers from the community come together to make the event happen.

For further information about the next event on the 1st April 2023 and to make a booking, please visit our events page.

Homeopathy Course

This month on the 10th and 25th March, a homeopathy course for acute conditions is being presented by Community Assembly of Salisbury member and Community Health Initiative Member, Maria Olsen BA MCHI .

This comprehensive 3 hour course starts with an introduction to homeopathy including the philosophy, principles, and correct use of homeopathic remedies, followed by learning which remedies can be used to treat minor conditions such as bites, burns, cuts, stings, colds, stomach upsets, acute shock/grief, fever and sore throats.

Further information and how to book your place can be found at Homeopathy Course for Acute Conditions where individuals and groups are welcome to attend.

First Aid Courses

This coming April and May, a two day advanced first aid course is being held along with some other community members to understand the essentials and to ensure there are qualified first aid practitioners available within the community. This course is being held by the Community Assembly of Ringwood who have kindly extended places for Salisbury and surrounding areas.

Growing Group

The increasingly popular 'Growing Group' has acquired two very large allotment plots from Salisbury Council. The site was incredibly overgrown and it was on the proviso that the site was cleared and used for growing, that the land would be provided at no cost to the Community Assembly for the current year. The Growing Group started work immediately clearing brambles (see photographs below) and have made fantastic progress in just a few days!

Having secured part of a polytunnel and some outdoor beds at a community garden run by St Michael's church in Salisbury, the Growing Group have planted raspberries, broad beans, red onions, spring onions, winter lettuce, pak choi and radishes, making repairs to the polytunnel that were needed.

They have also been sorting through and improving the composting system and are looking at planting more bee-friendly plants to surround the outdoor beds. A sensory garden is in the making too. It was a lot of work to sort areas out for planting but through combined efforts, great progress is being made and shows what can be done.

The Growing Group have set up a group on Telegram which already has 25 members actively posting up to 50 items of interest a day! This provides momentum, encouraging others to join in and become part of the Community Assembly.

An invaluable incentive

Founding Facilitators and members of the Community Assembly of Salisbury, Ringwood and Wiltshire are the perfect example of how bringing people together to engage in their community and make a contribution makes everyone feel a sense of belonging, safety and being able to rely on others.

It provides an invaluable incentive for each one of us to work on building strong local communities where everyone feels welcome and everyone can take part in delivering and receiving services that are of benefit.

We are delighted to share the work being done in Salisbury and hope this will encourage and inspire other Community Assemblies to do the same.

Seeing The Light

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 19:21:00 GMT

Focusing on the good things that make us happy raises frequencies for the whole of planet Earth.

With the world going through much turmoil at the moment it would be expected that the vibrations of planet Earth would not be as high as they should be. It would be a foregone conclusion that the whole of life on Earth would also be under-vibrating barring a few isolated life forces.

We can see this visually in people and vocally as some struggle to cope with continuous challenges in their general day-to-day living. This is compounded by the fact that every bad news story coming out in the media is designed to have a negative impact on a person’s vibration when they read, hear or see it. It is worse when people engage with it and try to take it on board.

It is important to remember that anything negative has a detremental effect on our vibration and the vibrations of planet Earth, just as positive thoughts, intentions and actions have the opposite effect, raising the Earth's vibration the more we raise our vibrations as individuals.

Raising frequencies

It would make sense for all of us to do our best to raise ourselves from the lower frequency messages that we are being subjected to and focus on the good things that make us happy and make others happy too. This is as important for us as individuals as it is for the benefit the whole of Earth and all living things.

It is something we work on as members of the Community Light Brigade . As a group of individuals with unusually high frequencies, we focus on light-work and natural healing as a team and in our communities. By always being sure not to interfere with anyone's free will, we are able to measure, clear and balance frequencies and this work is something we dedicate ourselves to.

The 'Wayshowers'

The Community Light Brigade is comprised of individual members of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) and is linked to our Community Health Initiative (CHI).

As a team of heart-centred beings with very high spiritual frequencies, we are dedicated to balancing the energies of the Earth, and helping people raise their own frequencies in order to access the higher dimensions.

The Aboriginal People call members of the Light Brigade the 'Wayshowers' as they act as beacons of light to show the way towards further spiritual development.

Natural health

The work of the Light Brigade mainly falls into two areas, one being purely spiritual in terms of balancing and raising frequencies, the other more practical in terms of guiding people towards better physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health, freedom from toxins and pharmaceuticals, eating healthy food, exercising and so on.

The idea is that by raising the spiritual frequencies of all human beings, our mental, emotional and physical frequencies will naturally increase. This can only go so far before individuals themselves need to work on their own self development. Being careful never to interfere with anyone's free will, we can make a difference in terms of helping people to understand the power of their spirituality and how to use it to good

effect.

Natural therapists

This comes in the form of gentle guidance, support and perhaps even therapy or treatment with members of the Light Brigade who are natural therapists and healers. The best way for us all to raise our frequencies is through service to others and to each other.

We are building a collection of information, guidance and natural healing treatments as part of our Community Health Initiative (CHI). Members of the Community Light Brigade get together frequently either remotely or face-to-face so that they can bring together their abilities to draw on the Source and put out their combined intentions.

Each of our accredited CHI practitioners are listed on our Health Directory and recommended suppliers are listed on our Supplier Directory . All CHI practitioners are available for local and distance or online healing, and welcome you to get in touch. Qualifications, treatments and contact details are provided on individual practitioner profiles on the directory.

Providing natural healing and clearing blockages to raise frequencies are powerful ways to help people and deliver messages of hope supported by practical solutions and ongoing support. This is never about trying to undermine free will but to show the way for anyone who wants to move forward and upward.

Playing our part

The great news is that the number of high frequency beings on planet Earth is increasing daily and one of our responsibilities is to measure those frequencies and monitor progress.

We are able to ascertain that people with high frequencies affect those around them in a positive way. It is the same with the Light Brigade and as everyone in the group resonates at even higher frequencies. This has a profound and beneficial effect on millions of people around the world and on planet Earth itself.

This is why playing an active part in working with the Light Brigade, your local Community Assembly and/or Community Assembly Hub is an excellent way to make a positive contribution.

Where Does True Freedom Lie?

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 13:09:04 GMT

How, in the use of force, can one ever discover true freedom?

The fight for freedom is perhaps the perfect distraction: the fight never allowing the release. An oxymoron, for how can one ‘fight’ for freedom? The forcing of freedom brings only more force, for using force against the wish of being free simply perpetuates the cycle, with the addition of more effort being futile in discovering the way out of the cyclical play.

A question to ask is whether true freedom lies in the release of all attachment to the physical identity and environment or does it arise from seeing all as simply just illusion?

The fight For freedom?

Where does true freedom lie?

Is it in the release of all attachment to the physical identity and environment or does true freedom arise from seeing all as simply just illusion?

And what would seeing all as illusion look like?

The dissolving of perception can create a discombobulation. When everything is shown as nothing, the mind melts.

But, even though the eye has experienced a removal of all known identity, this has a potentially detrimental effect on the psyche in so much as the freedom that was momentarily touched was just a teaser and the ego will do all it can to re-engage with that same moment, thus disengaging from this very moment.

In the constant fight to realise this dissolving once again, the freedom of the moment is destroyed. Held prisoner by the mind, the attachments to the previous experience restricts any chance of that moment ever revealing itself again.

One is held captive by wish or potential and the illusion of this containment is perpetuated by demand.

Perhaps coming to terms with the thought of demand and accepting the fact that force has just one agenda: that of control, then freedom can arise?

Does freedom from one location dissolve all attachment to all locations, or do we just offer this belief some hot sweet tea and biscuits?

Structure, it seems, is the crux of life and one requires structure and form to exist, to find value in so as to feel worth?

This experience of life and its demands seem perfectly designed to deflect the enquirer away from all notions of freedom; all potential of realisation, and to maintain the illusive, fleeting nature of physical life as that which holds the only value.

The fight for freedom is perhaps the perfect distraction: the fight never allowing the release.

An oxymoron, for how can one ‘fight’ for freedom?

The forcing of freedom brings only more force, for using force against the wish of being free simply perpetuates the cycle, with the addition of more effort being futile in discovering the way out of the cyclical play.

To yield , to resist the forces of restraint no more, to do nothing but 'Be' with no agenda, outcome, demand or process, surely this is the formula to freedom?

Is this how the mind comes to know peace? And, within this peace, is that the experience of true freedom?

The pained touch of the heart, no more the strain of end nor start, the now, is this where it’s at?

The beacon of moment, forces unsealed, nurturing of Soul, freedom through yield , acceptance of knowing - the ending of combat?

The Future Is Us!

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 19:09:37 GMT

We need to think about what we want our future to be and join together to make it happen.

I have a few questions for us to ask about things that are happening around us and the future we would like to see. It's easy to be distracted from these important questions but it's only when we have a clear idea of what we do and don't want in this world, that we can confidently and unanimously unite and take action.

I hope that by asking such questions and searching deeply for the answers, you will arrive at the same place as us where you feel inspired to take action and join us if you haven't already done so.

How do you see your future?

Do you see a future where we have the freedom to do the many things that we love and take for granted?

Or do you see a future where your freedoms are being constantly eroded and taken away?

What do you see happening right now?

Do you see the curbs on our rights to free speech where we cannot disagree with those who assume control or exert control over us.

Should it be possible for others to choose what we can say, think, do or not do?

What about your right to travel freely?

Do you agree to being told where you can go and when you can go anywhere?

Do you think we were born into this beautiful world as slaves for others to do what they want with us.

I know I don't ... do you?

What about being increasingly controlled?

As we navigate through this quite frankly sh** merry-go-round of narratives and exercises that keep us under the boot of control, do you support these people and organisations who don't know us and assume rank and authority over us?

Do you want to just carry on as you are doing?

Or do you want to decide what the future will look like for all of us?

What are we to do?

As individuals, we have the right to choose what is best for us. As individuals we are free to exercise our own free will which means we have a voice and the right to use it when, where and how we feel it is correct.

There are many of us here and in countries all over the world who are not happy with what is being imposed upon us.

Would it not make sense for us ( we the people ), as individuals who are facing the same things and who want to see a better future for all people (and our planet Earth) , to come together as one big voice instead of a few individual voices?

As such we can work together, share things with each other, unite as one, and shape our future and destiny together for everyone's benefit.

If we turn to Nature to observe how the bees and ants work together for the good of each other, we can see the strength in this, and in appreciating the importance of every individual and the invaluable role they play within their community.

As individuals we need to unite, come together and work together so that we can make our own decisions on what we want - and not have to comply to what they want for us and from us. We can do this with an assembly of people assembling and working together in their communities.

I have found all these things (and seen the potential) as a member of Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) and our parallel network of the Assemblies of the World (AOW).

We are an assembly of people who have decided to turn their backs to the present system that seeks to impound us and impose control over us. This goes against our inalienable rights and freedoms that no one can take away from us.

We are saying *no" without any violence or protest

We have formed local and county Community Assemblies right through the British isles, and the Assemblies of the World are doing the same in their countries.

Having an assembly of connected people in our villages, towns, counties and localities across the British Isles has a great but maybe underestimated power. It is the power of ' we the people' that are a force together with an intent to make beneficial change.

This change is the change that you want to see for you, your friends, your family and loved ones.

This is a change driven by the people not as a hierarchy or government .

Time is ticking, folks!

Every day that goes by our window of opportunity to make a difference gets smaller and smaller.

Please don't miss this opportunity and let it slip away. There won't be any more chances like this if you don't do it now.

Think about it.

Do something about it.

Get together with an assembly in your area or start a new one .

Or you can ...

Become a member of CABI and join us !

We are a Private Member's Association with no cost to you unless you choose to make a donation towards a specific project.

As a member you will become a part of CABI and our wider network with an invitation to join an existing assembly if or when there is one in your area. You will receive our fortnightly newsletter and regular updates about things going on here and overseas, and you will have access to a member-led framework providing knowledge, resources, experiences, support and services on offer.

Everyone is welcome and by joining you will be making a tangible and valued difference.

It's true to say that no-one can stop us now - the future is us!

The Problem With Leadership

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 00:42:21 GMT

Replacing leadership with self-governing community members who work together to make a valued contribution

There have always been leaders with a style that can be measured on a scale from transcendent (positive) to authoritative (negative) with every combination in between.

The problem is that hierarchical, top-down 'authoritative leadership' has become the norm in public, private and non-profit sectors, with few enterprises able to invest in 'transcendent leadership' and remain competitive.

Transcendent Leadership

At the top end of the scale, 'Transcendent Leadership' requires 'using self-compassion and compassion for others to unlock the doorway to wisdom, interconnectedness and collaboration.' This sounds very noble and is considered to be the optimum style of leadership whereby 'everyone feels valued, respected and appreciated, and everyone feels engaged and willing to work together authentically and effectively.'

The problem is that even if this were entirely possible and sustainable, it goes against the requirement for 'we the people' to self-govern ourselves according to Natural or Community Law . It is a misnomer when we consider that nobody can assume authority over anyone else without their prior understanding and agreed consent. When people are not given the opportunity to consent or respond to a particular style of leadership foisted upon them, leadership in itself becomes unlawful.

Authoritarian Leadership

To be clear, ' authoritarian leadership' is demonstrated by 'a management style in which an individual has total decision-making power and absolute control over their subordinates.' I think we can all agree that in any situation, none of us would willingly agree to be treated in this way.

The fact that many employees, carers and other providers expect to be treated this way, and would not dream of saying anything in fear of losing their employment, is something we will need to remedy.

Instigators, Guardians and Facilitators

With this in mind, we must extend our gratitude and thanks to CABI Founding Facilitators and Special Advisors, Community Health Initiative (CHI) Members and Licentiates, and Emissaries who have committed to the important roles of 'guardianship', facilitation' and 'natural healing' as members of CABI and the Assemblies of the World parallel network.

In every single case and despite being roles that require the wisdom, experience and skills of ethical leadership, each one of our pioneers or 'instigators' have stressed the fact that under no circumstances do they want to be considered, titled or rewarded as 'leaders.'

Rather, they see themselves as members of the community who provide invaluable knowledge and expertise to bring people together, build communication networks and establish equitable ways of doing things so that we can live in harmony as individuals and community members for the highest good of all.

These roles are shared on a rotational basis so that new pioneers, instigators and facilitators can take over or step in as we grow. Our thanks go out to all our members who are actively working behind the scenes and making a contribution - we appreciate everything you do.

Valued Contributions

Many of our members are very generously volunteering their time, skills and energy to run groups on social media, write articles and book reviews for the CABI blog, design flyers, provide guidance and information on specific subjects and actively work in the community talking to people and bringing new members into the fold.

Other members are helping simply by spreading the word, forwarding information, talking to people on the phone, sending emails, sharing CABI content or working on preparations to set up their own Community Assemblies.

Those of our members who have full time commitments and are unable to make a contribution as mentioned above, are donating a monthly subscription instead. These members are very much valued as an integral part of our team because with regular donations we can continue to develop and deliver services in support of all our members.

We hope that more of our members will make a contribution in this way so that we can continue to grow and move things forward.

Individual Contributions

Something we can all do as we work towards building our new world, is to learn how to govern ourselves as sovereigns within a cooperative network of fellow sovereign beings. We need to find the best ways to become independent, self-governing and accountable community members which means developing leadership skills for ourselves.

When we consider Mark Passio's definition of freedom cited in The Science of Natural Law recently, taking responsibility for ourselves is the shortest and most direct route towards wellbeing, happiness and freedom.

As a society, the more we become moral collectively, the more we become collectively free. As a society, the less we become moral collectively, the more we become collectively enslaved.

Having studied the principles and attributes of ethical leadership, I have developed a model for self-governance that might be helpful in pointing us in the right direction and to provide a standard of being that we can all aspire to.

INTEGRITY (Soul)

Tuning into our moral compass, source of intuition and gut instincts to know the difference between right and wrong so that we can live by the four tenets of Natural Law which are to: 'do no harm, keep the peace, commit no fraud and cause no loss.'

AWARENESS (Spirit)

Being concerned about things of importance and doing our best to bring the truth to light with kindness and healing energy. The higher our spiritual frequency, the more closely we resonate with truth and the reality of the here and now.

HUMILITY (Heart)

Showing empathy for all human and sentient beings and our beautiful planet Earth without bias. Listening to other points of view, bringing everything back to love and using our heart intelligence .

RATIONALITY (Mind)

Taking a reasoned and calm approach towards challenges and problems so that we can find beneficial solutions and make decisions without emotional or other influence as a process of consensus.

TRUSTWORTHINESS (Intention)

Earning and building trust by being honest, kind and dependable, and being careful to 'only make promises we know we can keep and to honour our word.'

CONSISTENCY (Momentum)

Being organised in ways that enable us to get things done, take care of ourselves, make a valued contribution, and spend time doing the things we love.

MORAL COURAGE (Inner Truth)

Aligning our body, mind, spirit, soul and whole being in truth and love to give us the confidence to find our voice, stand in our own truth and live a fulfilling life.

Final note

It is important to remember that none of us are perfect, in fact, it is often our imperfections that endear us to each other the most. As long as our hearts and intentions are in the right place and we commit to doing the right thing for ourselves, each other and the beautiful world in which we live - the rest is added bonus!

MEMBER COMMENTS

Everybody is a valuable member ...

I believe in what Solzhenitsyn used to say: change is brought about by a very vocal minority that speaks the truth and never shut up! I have to agree with people objecting to leadership in as much as this is a concept truly relating to survival - hierarchy - order and organisation of humanity in able and non able (to be commanded).

These concepts are, and have always been, an offense to human dignity which should instead be cultivated and promoted to be autonomous, independent and prosperous, like you mentioned and acknowledged in your e-mail .

In an evolved congregation everybody is a valuable member and offers an indispensable contribution because the congregation's culture is geared up to produce this and the infrastructure too.

Thank you for appreciating the intrinsic human value and rejecting the reptilian-brain survival concepts of leadership.

Sowing The Seeds Of Freedom

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 14:08:11 GMT

A book review of Oneness vs The 1% by environmentalist in India, Vandana Shiva

Freedom is something that has come under the microscope in the wake of the events of the last two years in a very intense way. In many ways, we have been forced to view it through contrasting themes, such as censorship of free speech, lockdowns, and politicised health mandates.

The question arises as to how we not only restore freedom but sow seeds of freedom that align with the highest Natural Law of the universe.

The context

Vandana Shiva sets the scene by posing questions she believes we need to revisit about the meaning of health, wealth, ecology, economic freedom, knowledge, intelligence, and democracy.

These questions are put against the landscape of existing challenges while she shares her perspective that true wealth is about well-being in every sense of the word.

The challenge

The challenge, as Vandana sees it, is the potential extinction of our planet brought about by the practices of the so-called one 1 per cent who control money and use their power in destructive ways that go against the well-being of those they purport to serve.

She concludes that not only have they manipulated the market to drive a wedge between the people and well-being, but we are also being driven to a precipice, which requires a radical shift so that it does not become inevitable.

Here are some figures she lays out to back what she says. I have put them in tabular form below. These figures show how many billionaires have controlled as much wealth compared to over the last 12 years approximately.

This is certainly not a picture of the few wanting to empower the many. I wonder what that figure is now in 2023? Who is the driving force looking to reduce this further?

The contract

In the table below, I have captured a few of the contrasting themes between oneness and the practice of the 1% from my reading:

Separation v Oneness

As with any action, t here is a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layer present. On the theme of separation, which is a mirror opposite of oneness Vandana gives examples in which separation shows up in the practice of the 1 per cent.

1) A mechanical and linear in approach to Nature, which ‘allows the 1 per cent to extract wealth from Nature and society, defining their “extra activism” as scientific, economic and human progress.’

2) The use of key tools used such as colonisation, patents and extraction of data through artificial intelligence to create separation of humans from nature, separation of humans from each other, and separation of the self from their true nature.

On the other hand, oneness recognises the interconnected of all things. It seeks to reconcile those separations in partnership and true interdependence through ‘self-organisation, intelligence, creativity, freedom, potential, autopoietic evolution and non-separability in nature and society.’

If you observe bees in a colony, they work in the spirit of oneness. Markethive is a commercial platform mirroring those values for entrepreneurs to construct positive commercial experiences.

This is a constructive use of a colony as opposed to the destructive opposite of the 1 per cent, who wish to control everything for their unjust enrichment and for our enslavement.

Making a difference

In the face of major challenges, often, the question arises as to what difference an individual can make. Vandana Shiva makes constant reference to Gandhi as someone who influenced her thinking.

Gandhi is often remembered for his quote: 'be the change you wish to see in the world.'

If you accept this stance, then change starts from within, and it becomes a question of examining and adjusting perception to frame behavior and actions moving forward.

You might examine where your mind has underlined separation and look to reconcile your view that embraces oneness as a principle.

Where have you become separated from nature, from your fellow man and woman, and from yourself? Where can you create reconciliation in those areas?

An open heart and m ind

It requires an open heart and mind, and a good example of this is provided in the book. Sir Albert Howard, an English botanist, traveled to India in 1905 with the intention of demonstrating western systems of farming.

What he discovered there caused him to retract and change his stance. He became a student of the local community to learn about the practices that had sustained their farming. He documented his learning and discoveries in The Agriculture Testament , which has become a major go-to handbook to many.

Embracing oneness

Vandana also answers that question from her journey. She acknowledges that while she obtained a Ph.D. in the fundamentals of quantum theory from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, it was the group of women activists of Chipko in the Himalayan forests of India who taught her about biodiversity and ecology. She sums it up here.

'Both taught me about interconnectedness and non-separability. The women of Chipko taught me about the relationships between forests, soil and water, and women’s sustenance economies; quantum theory taught me the four principles that have guided my thinking and my life’s work - everything is interconnected, everything is potential, everything is indeterminate, there is no excluded middle, we are interbeings.'

These brave Chipko women went head to head with the government, putting their lives on the line to preserve the integrity of the ecology of the forest and won their battle in 1981.

From the combination of education and experience at the feet of the Chipko women, whose activity turned into a movement, Vandana Shiva set up her own activity and movement for biodiversity , conservation, and organic farming in 1987.

This just goes to show what can happen when you combine an openness of heart with a solid education and then draw inspiration from those working in the trenches, capable of imparting wisdom beyond academia.

This can fan into flame the belief, desire, and willingness to step into what the heart knows to be true by getting involved in a grassroots movement or by starting your own initiative with like-minded individuals.

The importance of research

Beyond the qualities of an open heart, education, and inspiration lies the importance of research to document and anchor good practice.

For example, the practice of agroecology is not just about the protection of seeds for farming. The research which demonstrates the impact of the processes of biodiversity is equally important, especially given that the globalists use political science to manipulate data to fit their agenda and narrative.

The case of Norman Borlaug’s dwarf wheat, dubbed as a ‘miracle’ in the Green Revolution, was countered by such research and is a case in kind which demonstrates this essential practice.

Call to action

Vandana's book is not only inspirational read, i t is a call to action based on three enduring principles from India’s history by way of a framework to sow seeds of freedom.

Satyagraha - bringing the force of truth to be through real democracy, which involves non-cooperation and resistance to destructive practices.
Swaraj - self-responsibility in the way individuals govern their lives in the name of freedom.
Swadeshi - creating self-sustaining local communities according to the needs of that group. The Greek word for such activity is autopoiesis, meaning self and creation, the ability to systematically self-generate.

The examples of how the locals in India were able to protect the heritage of the land and its ecology, based on the above three principles, were truly inspirational.

It has not been without loss and challenges, but when you read, for example, how five million women in India were able to make such a difference in protecting local food safety standards, it is a powerful reminder that a small group of committed people can make positive waves for humanity.

We are the change

These examples support Vandana's point that we cannot merely observe and protest. It is incumbent upon each of us to apply the principle of Satyagraha to our thinking and embody the solution according to our values, abilities and talents in the vein of ‘being the change we wish to see in the world.’

By participating in the solution, we sow seeds of democracy because the nature of democracy is practical. We are the change we are seeking, and by calling out this change from within, we can both sow the seeds and reap the harvest of true democracy and freedom for the benefit of all.

The Truth About Knowledge

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 22:25:35 GMT

Knowing and understanding the truth is the first step before taking required action for change

Knowing fundamental hidden truths about ourselves and the world we live in is the first step towards changing what we need to change and implementing the best strategy to move forward. Understanding universal laws and how to align to them is paramount on our quest to create a beautiful life on Earth for all people and all living things.

Following on from my previous post summarising The Science of Natural Law from Mark Passio's exceptional video presentation, I was inspired to watch further content which has turned out to be just as insightful.

For this post, I have summarised the first hour of Mark's video presentation The Real Law of Attraction (Part 1 of 3). This provides clear and concise information about knowledge, truth, teachability and the connection between high frequencies , truth and reality which I know you will love.

I have recreated a couple of diagrams which are a direct representation of Mark's models. The full video and presentation slides are available to download from the respective videos on Mark's website.

Introduction

The Real Law of Attraction is an initiation into knowledge hidden from humanity for millennia.

The truth is singular, external and objective. The truth has always been here with us and will always be here. The truth is unchanging which means it is not dependent on the perceptions of human beings, rather, it requires us to align our perceptions to it.

The problem with this is that challenging a 'perceived truth' can equate to a direct assault on someone's ego. Few people want to admit they are wrong or take the trouble to understand why their beliefs might be in question. It can take a long time and a lot of effort to remove long held false beliefs and work our way back to the truth which is why many people don't want to do it.

Fortunately, there are plenty of us who are committed to understanding the truth about ourselves and the world we would like to live in. The next step is taking the required action. This is where Mark's teachings have particular impact in providing us with a means to explain the truth about knowledge and the requirements needed to bring about beneficial change.

Hidden knowledge

There are two aspects of universal knowledge and both have been hidden from us to create a power differential between the 'few who know ' and 'we the people' who don't know anything. The good news is that more and more of us are finding out what we are not supposed to know and what we now want to know. The latter represents a fast-growing worldwide community of like-minded souls who are working hard to piece everything together, join together, share what we know and take cooperative action.

Macro Knowledge - understanding universal spiritual laws that are generally unseen but manifest in a myriad of ways into our physical existence. This includes Natural Law, the Law of Nature, Universal Law, Human Nature, etc
Micro Knowledge - understanding our existence as individual human beings and creative beings of spiritual consciousness.

We now know that Universal Spiritual Law governs the consequences of behaviour for intelligent species. This is true for human beings who are able to gain understanding through knowledge. The animal kingdom differs from us as our fellow sentient beings do not have the ability to think as we do. The animal kingdom does not share the same level of consciousness which means 'we' are the ones to be held accountable for the choices we are able to make through our own free will .

Human beings are governed by Natural Law as this is what governs our behaviour based on the natural law of cause and effect. This is why we agree to abide by the four tenets of Natural Law as members of the Community Assembly of the British Isles and Assemblies of the World. Natural Law or Community Law is our guiding principle which enables us to self-govern ourselves and work together in harmony.

Scale of teachability

Finding out the truth as a process of discovery and enlightenment requires us to place ourselves in a situation where we are open to being questioned and willing to learn new things. It also means that if we want to open closed minds, we have to try and create a favourable environment in which to do so.

This is something demonstrated perfectly in a recent post written by Warren Cavanagh, our Emissary for the Assembly of Australia in The Healing Power of Listening . It's a heartwarming, uplifting and insightful story about 'sowing seeds of knowledge' which is wonderful to read.

Low teachability - derives from the extremes of arrogance and rigid scepticism on the one hand to gullibility and naivete on the other.
High teachability - derives from a balance between healthy scepticism and an open-minded willingness to learn.

This means that nurturing and developing the attributes of curiosity, listening , critical thinking, open mindedness, integrity and humility is a wonderful thing to do. It means we not only become wholly 'teachable' and flexible but most importantly, more 'able to teach' others based on a universal understanding of fundamental truth coupled with our own unique knowledge and experience.

As Mark so rightly says, once we know the truth, we have a moral obligation to share it and help each other make the necessary changes.

Knowledge into action

When we say we want happiness, health, peace, freedom and prosperity we need to understand that these things are not a given. Just like Nature, certain things have to be put in place for favourable outcomes to occur.

None of us can 'think' what we want into reality and no one is going to do it for us. Favourable conditions in life do not simply manifest automatically or appear by some kind of magical means. This is a typical deception propogated by the New Age Movement. For things to become a reality, certain requirements have to be put in place or nothing will happen and nothing will change.

This means that if we want real change to happen requirements exist and this can be difficult for people to accept. Taking the required action for beneficial change to happen requires hard work, commitment and a certain amount of self-introspection and soul-searching which often acts as an effective barrier to change.

For those of us prepared to make a commitment - to ourselves, our lives and the world we live in - the importance of unearthing, understanding, sharing and teaching fundamental truth and universal law becomes paramount.

These are the building blocks upon which we will realise our shared vision and find the best ways to live and work together in our supportive community environments.

[When it comes to finding the right questions to ask, a previous post with insights into The Book of Beautiful Questions provides a series of key questions we can ask about things we want to know more about.]

Frequency of truth

This comes up later in the presentation but I had to include it because it explains 'being in line with the truth' or 'being in the flow' so beautifully.

It's so simple when you think about it and I love that it gives us a simple and scientific reasoning for raising our frequencies as a means to connect with truth on the continuum of reality or 'what really is. '

Resonating at a high frequency means by definition we become more closely aligned with the unchangeable line of truth that represents the reality of a given situation at any moment in time .

Going back to what was said previously, this means that aligning ourselves to the truth requires us to raise our frequencies rather than attempt to adjust the variable lens of our perception.

As Mark says, the truth is there and always will be, it's our job to find it, align ourselves to it, work out how we should proceed and take the required action!

Final note

There was so much more I could have written for this post and I highly recommend watching the 2 hour video. It puts everything into context and I am looking forward to learning more about Mark's work for further golden nuggets to share.

I hope that in this case, we can see how our individual and combined actions are making a difference in terms of discovering fundamental knowledge, understanding what matters to all of us and working out how we can best take action together to create a wonderful future built on a bedrock of universal truth.

As always, thank you for reading, and I hope this post has been helpful.

The Time Is Now To Make A Difference

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 20:08:03 GMT

Everyone who joins in plays a part in something great for our planet and all souls upon it

A beautiful response to our latest newsletter announcing the formation of Assemblies of the World and the bringing together of like-minded souls in a parallel network founded on common principles and a shared vision for the future.

The Assemblies of the World is now represented by Emissaries for each country joining us based on a true synergy with the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) values. We have come together by dint of a shared and universal vision to create a beautiful life on our treasured Planet Earth for all people and all living things.

Nick Kitchen, a committed Founding Facilitator of the Community Assembly of Lincolnshire - who set up our Community Assembly Hub and Assembly Room groups on Telegram (see below) - saw this as an opportunity to ecourage others to get more involved. With 4 Worldwide Assemblies and up to 40 Community Assemblies across the British Isles enlisted (or making progress to soon be enlisted), this is a great time to spread the news and invite others to join us.

Nick's words and intentions clearly demonstrate what CABI is all about and why 'now' is the best time for all of us to find ways to provide our support and help each other to realise our shared vision for humanity.

Over to you, Nick:

"More countries are coming together to join us.

This coming together of the people in the countries that form the Assemblies of the World is showing the ' will of the people' which is a huge statement that sends the message very loudly and very clearly that 'we the people' have had enough and want no further part in the system that seeks to bind and enslave us.

Togetherness and joining with others here and across the whole world is the start of our parallel society that is looking for self-governance and the maintaining of our freedoms while following Natural Law .

There is no greater time than now for us all to work hard to come together, whether in the British Isles or across other countries of the world.

People joining together to form an Assembly or Community Assembly is probably one of the greatest things we can do to help maintain our lives and freedoms right now. As with togetherness in numbers comes strength in numbers.

It would be great if everyone who finds this post would join us to become a member of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) or an International Friend and, as such, become part of our parallel network, the Assemblies of the World. This means we all become plugged into the knowledge, resources and experience being shared across our growing network.

Everyone who joins in makes a difference, with no financial commitment and no expectations except the amount of time and resources you are willing and able to contribute. The only commitment is the one you make to yourself and to know that you have played your part in something great for our Planet Earth and all the souls who live upon it.

When you read this and what you do after it is up to you of course. You may wish to know more or not know more. I would not expect that you would all wish to join this or any other group and so if you are happy doing what you are doing and knowing what you are knowing that is great.

It is always your choice to make. And your future to take.

Getting together and working together with others is what matters. Whether it's joining a group or forming your own, you can help change things for the better not only for yourself but for your loved ones and others around you.

A future of lesser freedoms for us is looming. The opportunity to raise ourselves to the challenge and alter this future is in our hands . We must not let it slip through our fingers. Not just for us but for our children and the next generation after us. The young people we cherish and want to see living healthy and happy lives stand to either lose or benefit from the actions we take or do not take 'right now.'

If you have found yourself sitting on the fence, waiting around for others to do the work or for someone else to lead the charge. this will not help to change things anytime soon. If we choose not to do the necessary work to start making changes now, we may run out of time and miss one of the greatest opportunities of all our lifetimes to change the future for us all, not only in this country but the whole of our world.

It is that serious for us folks. Change will not happen if we sit idle and do nothing.

If you like what has been said here and would like more information, please get in touch . If you would like to join our Telegram Groups you will be made very welcome. Find us by searching:

Community Assembly Hub - @tcabi

Assembly Room - @tarcabi

We very much look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you for being here and for helping us to spread the word!"

The Healing Power of Listening

A wonderful and uplifting story about listening from the land down under

On the eve of sending out a special newsletter to our members to welcome the Assemblies of the World into the fold as a parallel network with the same vision, mission and values, it seemed the perfect time to post a heart warming story written by Emissary for the Community Assembly of Australia , Warren Cavanagh.

This is a wonderful story because it demonstrates the power of listening and the potential for sharing knowledge with each other across our lands and seas, within and between our communities or wherever we happen to be.

I am sure that, like me, you will be moved by Warren's generosity and kindness in being prepared to listen, being able to bring calm and healing energy to a situation and knowing when to plant seeds.

Over to you, Warren:

'I popped out to my local shopping centre recently to buy some fruit and with my mission completed, I decided to sit in the common area of the shopping centre to relax and listen to some music. There was no one there so I put my headset on and started to watch the world go by.

A few minutes later a lady unknown to me came and sat next to me and started talking to me. I removed my headset as she began sharing things with me about her life and her son. She was encouraged by the gesture and continued talking about some very personal and private information regarding her son together with her views on many subjects. It was clear she wanted someone to listen so that she could get things off her mind and I was happy to oblige. I turned my attention towards her and she carried on talking in what seemed to be a river of release. It occurred to me that she may not have had anyone to talk to before then, at least, no one who would take the time to listen.

Before long, a man and two other ladies caught our conversation and came to sit down and listen. They where younger than my new friend who told me she was 73 years of age. These people were around the age of 60 and they became fully engaged in the conversation, enthusiastically off-loading their thoughts and feelings regarding many different subjects too. My friend continued to talk about her son and how he used to be an artist and a good one but that he stopped many years ago. As a mum (mom, parent) she saw his talent but despite trying to talk him back into it, she had been unable to do so. She asked me why would anyone give up something they were so good at? I said very kindly: "Well, don't worry, maybe he will get back to it in his own time."

I was so absorbed in our conversation, I hardly realised there were now others who had sat down to listen and chip in. They were all ears and the original lady was by now sharing her opinions on subjects pertaining to the world situation rather than her son. It started with her puzzlement as to why people working in shops didn't seem to want to serve customers anymore. She was clearly dismayed at this decline in personal service which had always been the accepted way of doing things and which made shopping such a pleasurable experience. She asked why this might be so and why, at the age of 73, she had suddenly lost some of her teeth! I am not sure why but I came out and asked her if she had taken the jab . She knew exactly what I meant and told me she had. My reply was to say to her gently that perhaps it could be this that had something to do with it?

I could see she had never even contemplated this before and she looked horrified. She was in shock but I could see her mind whirring because no doubt she had done nothing different at this time in her life to afford losing her teeth! I could see it was making her think that maybe it was the jab . Within a moment, the conversation started turning into a negative as we quickly entered the political spectrum. Like a trigger, the whole group started grumbling and complaining about Donald Trump. It seemed that he was their first port of call if any blaming needed to be done about anything. At this point, I suggested it might be helpful to look at things from the bigger picture and I said, whether you loved or hated the guy with the orange fake tan or not, what you listen to on TV, radio and social media should always be questioned. I asked them to think about how they could know the script was true and not propaganda? What if the true story was that Trump had been chosen from above to do the job of exposing and cleaning up the corruption that we have all seen for ourselves and know about?

I asked them if they had ever thought about it from a different point of view and my 73 year old friend finally said, "Oh gee, you are right!" With that, the others where nodding their heads like it was a valid point.

For me, this was sensational. To go from sitting on my own, quietly listening to my music and being happy to be interrupted by someone who clearly needed a listening ear, to being able to provide some understanding to an otherwise confused lady, and a group of people who had never been told anything different to the narrative they had been plugged into. It was uplifting and I felt my time with these good people (which turned out to be over an hour) had not been wasted. It made me realise how much of a powerful healer listening can be. Answering in a gentle and supportive way helped the 73 year old lady (and the others) focus on the positive and not the negative. It provided the means for them to see things from a different perspective which I hope they will continue to do.

In the end, my friend left feeling much better in herself and those who had gathered round left with something to think about - something that I hope will make a positive impact on their lives too. By not letting the initial negativity pull me down or affect me, I made sure I was there to be a voice of calm and reason. The positives spoken were enough for those good people to ponder on. It left me feeling like I had been of service, if not for the group that formed around us but at least for this sweet lady who had no one else to talk to about these things.

It was great that I was there at the right time to share the truth and remove some blockages. It shows what can be done when we are open to such things and I highly recommend it.'

The Science of Natural Law

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:57:35 GMT

The truth about Natural Law and how we can reinstate our inalienable rights and freedom

When we understand the truth about Natural Law, it's easy to see how the fundamental principles of human nature relate to each and every one of us and how our collective actions determine our freedom and quality of life. It is important to note that any non-human entities that can feel, think, learn and respond to their external and internal environments have inalienable rights too.

These facts were confirmed to me recently - quite beautifully and succinctly - in a documentary The Science of Natural Law by renowned teacher of Natural Law in America, Mark Passio. Mark's message is that he is seeking peers and allies to help spread the truth about Natural Law which is why I wanted to share his work with you.

I have broken down the content of the documentary as simply as possible with a view to providing an explanation for anyone who has never heard of Natural Law, including why this might be so. I hope this is helpful and serves to add grist to our mill in terms of reclaiming our Sovereignty , building a new system for ourselves and walking away from those who seek to have authority over us.

Hidden Knowledge

The hardest thing to explain to people who haven't yet joined us on our journey is that the truth about Natural Law has been purposefully hidden from us for many thousands of years. Those at the top echelons of the moneyed few have essentially kept this beautiful truth from us in order to increase their own wealth and power.

This has been done by master psychologists who have created an intricate web of deception, manipulation and mis-information (the real kind) to deceive us. This has infiltrated corporate leadership , politics, banking, medicine, law (as in legalese), law enforcement, entertainment, technology, media and education. None of us, therefore, can be entirely blamed for not knowing about Natural Law and the hidden laws of Nature and human nature.

Natural Law

The best way to describe Natural Law is to first understand what it is not. For example, it has nothing to do with religion, theories of evolution, the law of the jungle, the so-called ' natural order of dog eat dog' or anything that is manmade. The existing condition of the laws of Nature are binding and immutable. Natural Law is therefore ' a set of universal, NON-manmade, binding and unchangeable conditions which govern the behavioural consequences of beings with the capacity for holistic intelligence.'

The reason Natural Law is so illusive (apart from being purposefully hidden from us) is that it encompasses a body of knowledge about natural laws that cannot be readily seen with our eyes or measured by traditional forms of scientific measurement. Those who have access to this knowledge have essentially used it against us at the expense of our inalienable rights and freedom.

Free Will

Where Natural Law governs the aggregate or collective, free will represents the behavioural choices of entire populations manifesting the consequences of the behaviours we choose. 'The consequences we receive are always dependent on whether our behaviours are moral or immoral, in other words right or wrong. While we all have free will we are not insulated from the moral consequences of our moral choices.'

The workings of Natural Law can therefore be discovered and understood by observable, repeatable and measurable effects in our world (cause and effect) which means ultimately that the understanding of Natural Law constitutes a science of morality.

This is why knowing the difference between right and wrong, and knowing that it is up to each of us to choose our own right or wrong behaviour, is critical for human beings to be able to live in peace, harmony and freedom together.

Human Rights

A ' right' is an action that does not initiate harm to another sentient being (human and animal). Wrong doings such as murder, assault, rape, theft, trespass, coercion and wilfully lying are all variations of harm or theft. These acts or behaviours constitute harm in violation of Natural Law. This exactly correlates with the four main tenets of Natural Law which all our members have agreed to abide by:

Do no harm
Commit no fraud
Cause no loss
Keep the peace

By collectively agreeing to abide by these principles we collectively choose to take responsibility for our decisions and actions in order to live peaceably and cooperatively with each other - this is what it means to be a valued part of the Community Assembly of the British Isles and our parallel network, the Assemblies of the World.

Slavery (to the system)

Examples of slavery are all around us. Taxation is theft enforced by coercion; medical mandates are coercion as only we have the right to choose what we put into our bodies; driving licenses violate our right to natural travel, and so on. Every non-voluntary manmade 'law' is in opposition to Natural Law which means they are all illegitimate and we have absolutely no obligation to follow them or abide by them.

Objective Morality

It is important to note that morality is NOT based on perception, opinion or the whims of those who seek to control us or use others for their own ends. This means that feelings, beliefs, doctrines, religions, time or whims of law are entirely irrelevant. A behaviour is either right or wrong. It causes harm to another or it does not. To behave with right action is moral, to behave with wrong action is immoral.

It is currently grossly misunderstood that no-one gets to decide what is moral or immoral. This fundamental premise of Natural Law pre-exists and is inherent in the creative world itself.

The Law of Freedom

The beauty of the Law of Freedom is its simplicity which is:

As a society, the more we become moral collectively, the more we become collectively free.

As a society, the less we become moral collectively, the more we become collectively enslaved.

Those who hide the truth from us know this very well which is why they 'teach us' that there is no difference between right and wrong and that 'moral relativism' assumes people decide for themselves what is moral or immoral.

Choose Freedom

If we are to manifest our individual and collective freedom, we need to be absolutely clear that morality is objective NOT subjective. If something causes harm or loss it is by definition immoral. Not understanding this one essential point has led us into slavery.

And so, now we know this and we understand the science of Natural Law and how it has been hidden from us, we can start to turn things round. This is done by each of us choosing moral action over immoral action in order to manifest our Sovereign and rightful, inalienable rights and freedom.

Reading for Wellbeing and Health

Relax with a good book to experience the many benefits it brings

Once upon a time reading books was considered an essential part of life for anyone wanting to learn about the outside world and gain knowledge as a process of personal discovery, critical thinking and personal enlightenment.

However, it's sadly true to say that this is no longer the case for many who think learning from books is no longer necessary or desired when formal education comes to an end. This has been fuelled by our preoccupation with social media and the internet which provides us with the ability to simply 'Google it ' rather than reading a book or any kind of long-form writing to find the answers we require.

This has proven to be entirely detrimental to our collective learning experience and mental development. When we get out of the habit of reading, it becomes harder to concentrate and develop our critical thinking skills in a natural and organic way. Without doubt reading with purpose has become a chore that many people feel they don't have time for or worse still, have no interest in at all.

Finding our own truth

It means that too many of us have become complacent in our pursuit to discover our own truth. We have become way too dependent on the Google's of this world deciding what they think we should read and have an interest in. Then we have the problem of 'click-bait' which is designed to attract readers with an increasingly short attention span. Headlines are brutally sensationalised to catch people's attention with a catchy title and heavily biased introduction followed by the requisite list of bullet points.

To a great extent Google (et al) have become our 'teachers' using complex algorithms to gainfully select what they want us to read rather than presenting the varying information we need to make our own decisions and come to our own conclusions.

What too many people don't know is that search engine results are stringently controlled to prevent anything that doesn't fit the establishment's narrative finding the light of day, let alone appearing on the first few pages of your search query. Increasingly, any factual and well considered information deemed to go against the status quo is downgraded, undermined or disappeared as 'mis-information' .

Biased knowledge

Even though I read around 20 books a year (and wish it could be more), I used to use the internet just like everyone else for fact-checking and, ironically, looking for 'good books' to read. I didn't realise at the time that by doing so I was being fed into an echo chamber swamped with inaccurate knowledge and biased information.

Prior to my awakening, many hours of precious reading time were wasted on books that have turned out to be not only spurious in their purpose but loaded with actual mis-information hitherto denounced by the 'powers that be' as being misleading, inaccurate and in some cases downright dangerous.

It reminds me of an exceptional quote by Groucho Marx: I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

If only this were the case for the majority of us. If only we were not so addicted to the TV and still 'allowed' to have different opinions that we can discuss openly and rationally to reach a consensus between us.

Perhaps then we wouldn't feel so isolated, ignorant and confused about what we think we know and don't know.

Reading benefits

So, without further ado, I wanted to provide a recap on the extraordinary benefits of reading books and long-form writings (similar to this article) in an attempt to reverse the non-reading trend. It seems to me that reading books is not only extremely beneficial for our general health and wellbeing, it has also become critical in making sure the truth is sought out, assessed, shared and protected. Here are some of the best ones:

1) Mental stimulation

Reading helps us to absorb new knowledge and reflect on things so that we can put things into context. This in turn stimulates our memory and leads to improved analytical and critical thinking.

2) Mental focus

Reading helps us to focus and concentrate on things for longer periods of time in a restful and relaxing way. We can only think about one thing at a time which is why reading helps to reduce anxiety, freeing us from troublesome thoughts that we might otherwise not be consciously aware of.

3) Improved sleep

Reading a bedtime story is not only hugely beneficial for children in helping them to drop off to sleep, it's equally good for grown-ups too. I am forever grateful to my late Dad for taking the time to do this for me throughout my childhood. It instilled a passion for books that has lasted a lifetime. Reading ourselves to sleep helps us to wind down properly and drift off to slumberland rather than having our minds jangled by the blue light of device screens. This is known to suppress the production of melatonin, making it difficult for many people to turn off their brains and fall into deeply restorative slumber.

4) Increased confidence

Reading not only greatly increases our personal knowledge, it also helps to improve fluency in writing and presentation skills. The saying goes that you can't be a successful writer if you are not prepared to read - and read a lot. This is because well-written books and long-form writings provide us with an endless reservoir of inspiration and new ideas. This in turn helps us to challenge our opinions and perspectives, opening our eyes to situations we may not have been previously familiar with and building our confidence when it comes to expressing our opinions and working more creatively.

5) Improved understanding

Reading is one of the best ways to learn about other people and situations, especially those we may not have personally experienced. Reading other people's stories gives us access to different points of view which helps us to develop empathy and become more open-minded. This has become ever more crucial if we are to become less divided and want to be able to cooperate more with each other.

I could come up with more benefits but I think there is enough here to present a positive argument for reading books and long-form writings. Suffice to say, the next thing to consider is 'what' to read with so many hundreds of thousands of books, articles, papers and guides to choose from. This can be tricky when the usual 'go-to' internet search or commercial 'best seller' lists come into question.

Finding books to read

Apart from word of mouth suggestions from people you know and trust, I would recommend checking out reader-based platforms such as Goodreads where people share what they have read, what they are reading and what they would like to read. Reviews are less likely to be biased towards the estalishment's hidden agenda and you can connect with people (and authors) who read (or write) the kind of books you might like to read on subjects you might be interested in.

There is of course our CABI Bookshop where I have been adding new books that don't toe the party line and older books that have held their truth over time. It's building very slowly and it would be great if members of CABI could let me know of any such books we could add to our collection.

Call for book recommendations

If this is you, please do get in touch , all I need is a brief overview as to why a certain book was significant for you and what you learned from it. As a rule, I don't review books as a means to complain about them. My purpose is to only to recommend books that have made a difference or contain important information that might be beneficial to others in some way.

That said, I hope the CABI Bookshop might provide inspiration for you to invest in a new book and find some quiet time for reading. There's nothing quite like snuggling up with a good book and a cup of tea during the Winter months. Reading provides the perfect excuse to reclaim some quiet time for yourself so that you can absorb yourself fully in the words coming from the page.

Closer to Nature

If you love Nature, Spirituality and Natural Health, my Spiral Leaf Bookshop might be the place to go. If anything, reading about Nature is a brilliant way to connect with the natural world which we know is good for us. This is true especially if you are house-bound or unable to explore the outdoors as much as you would like to.

If you read to the end of this post, I salute you. It's just the kind of 'long-form writing' I'm talking about and I hope it has inspired you to schedule in some time for reading this year for your good health.

Let's celebrate the art of purposefully reading in 2023 so that we can learn new things, tune into the flow of inspiration and enjoy the the harmony it brings.

Happy browsing!

To D Or Not To D That Is The question

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 10:48:02 GMT

Optimising time spent in the sun every day is fantastic for our health

Is vitamin D vital to our health or is it simply much ado about nothing. Shakespeare jokes aside just how much has emerged about this question in the last year?

Vitamin D is readily available in natural form during the Summer months but our bodies are unable produce it when the sun is low in the sky. Big Pharma tells us to slather on the sun screen or stay in the shade because the sun causes skin cancer and Naturopaths tell us to get out in the sun and take supplements when the sun is refusing to come out to play.

Is there any real science to back up either side? The unfortunate answer is that there is very little creative science going on because Big Pharma has a stranglehold on research.

If we look at one simple statistic that has slipped past censorship, for every person who dies of skin cancer, 384 die of vitamin D deficiency. Personally I will keep on sunbathing because I don’t like those odds.

Applied research isn’t the only way to gather information because all physicians can observe and report on their experiences and we can build a picture with those observations. That is the way the Community Assembly works, we add all the little bits of information together and come up with the complete works of Shakespeare.

Discoveries about vitamin D before 2022

There are 17 different cancers now associated with low vitamin D levels which means that just optimising time spent out in the sun between 11 am and 1 pm with no sunscreen, and by exposing as much of the skin as possible, is fantastic for our health. We just have to be careful not to burn our skin before we have given our tan time to become our protector.

Daily vitamin D3 supplementation, without any other therapy, is also effective for the treatment of psoriasis. In cases such as burn trauma vitamin D3 has a significant healing effect.

Recent discoveries

Less known is vitamin D's anti-inflammatory potential, which makes it useful for supporting optimal health throughout our lifespans. One clinic is using a vitamin D-focused anti-inflammatory regimen to successfully manage cluster headaches (not the same as migraines because there are no triggers). It involves a high loading dose of 600,000 to 800,000 IU of vitamin D3 spread over six to 12 days, followed by 10,000 IU per day.

Supplementation

If we live closer to the North Pole than 40 degrees North or closer to the South Pole than 40 degrees South, in late Autumn, Winter and early Spring we need to take supplements. It is when our bodies are lacking in nutrients that we see flu and colds in the colder months primarily because our repair mechanism is short on vital supplies such as vitamin D.

Just as an aside what is the difference between flu and a cold? If it is before January 1st then it is flu, otherwise it is a cold and forget about COVID 19 as it is a flu or a cold by any other name.

It's best to optimise our vitamin D levels via sensible sun exposure, but if this isn't an option for us then daily vitamin D3 supplementation is necessary. There is no one-size-fits-all dose because many factors influence blood levels.

White body fat

Body weight is one factor and people who have a high BMI need more vitamin D, however, as yet we don’t know why. For the moment a BMI of 25 or less is being counted as normal but muscle mass has a significant role here and everything points to white fat increasing the requirement for vitamin D3 supplementation.

Vitamin D3 supplementation must also be balanced with other micronutrients nutrients namely vitamin K2 (to avoid complications associated with excessive calcification in your arteries). You can easily get the right amount of vitamin K2 by eating one egg a day (organic of course) but cheese, butter, liver and chicken can also keep your levels up to where they should be.

Ionofors

Ionofors help to transport micronutrients across a cell’s membrane and so increase effectiveness. Quercetin is a well known ionofor for zinc but recently it has been discovered that magnesium is an Ionofor for vitamin D3. It has been recorded that 400mg of magnesium will boost the vitamin D3 uptake by about 30% and reduce the need for vitamin D3 supplementation from 10,000 IU to 7,000 IU per day.

Effects on DNA

To get an idea of the magnitude of vitamin D3's importance, roughly 10% of our genes respond to the active form vitamin D3.

From ancient times, when people around the world had reverence for the sun, to the use of solariums to treat illness in the early 20th century, we have come full circle in understanding the biology and the complexity of this process. Vitamin D is made in the skin (remember the advantages of cholesterol ) and goes through various metabolic processes to arrive at a point where it's influencing DNA.

In a study published in Scientific Reports , Michael Holick and colleagues found that varying doses of vitamin D3 led to broad changes in gene expression. In the following figures 'upregulate' means that the genes are excited by supplementation and 'downregulated' means that activity is reduced as in inflammation.

600 IU per day — upregulated 86 genes and downregulated 76 genes
4,000 IU per day — upregulated 188 genes and downregulated 132 genes
10,000 IU per day — upregulated 800 genes and downregulated 489 genes

Remember that the use of magnesium would reduce the 10,000 IU per day to 7,000 IU per day. IU stands for 'International Units.'

That good feeling that you get from being out in the sun is not coincidence. It is your body telling you something important.

Wisdom from my Soul Sister Aniiyah for 2023

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 21:28:44 GMT

A message from friends in America for 2023. Let us make this our year to stand together and bring peace and harmony back to our world!

A heartfelt message from my Soul Sister, Aniiyah

The thinking that we are islands no longer works. The idea that we can go it alone, or stuff our feelings so we don’t disturb the water around the island no longer works. The new paradigm must be setup around community . Around helping each other.

Around each person in the community doing their part, doing their internal work, and wanting the greatest good for themselves AND the community.

It can be a slippery slope living and belonging to community, if we feel unsafe or ashamed to share our feelings, or to say no, or to ask for help (not victim/rescuer energy but I need help to take responsibility and grow from my place of needing help). That energy sets us and our community up for suffering.

The other slippery slope is needing to be ' strong ', or feeding ourselves the line that we can handle things (things being … fill in the blank) all by ourselves. We can’t. We are not biologically created to 'go it alone' or be strong alone. We must want to work together for wellness, for goodness, for healthy habits, for safety, for authentic being-ness .

And we must be able to walk away when the community we belong to does not support our highest good, without blaming each other, or shaming each other, or judging each other. Just to allow the flow of joy truth and trust to be our way of navigating in and out of community.

Peeling the onion, metaphorically, can bring tears … can feel uncomfortable. But keeping the skin on the onion just leads it to rot.

May we all feel safe in our bodies, in our relationships, and in our choices, while trusting our joy and gratitude to guide us through the coming year to find and create our Soul Tribe circles.

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

Native American Traditional Code of Ethics

Originally published the ‘Inter-Tribal Times’ October of 1994

Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefi t others (everyone).

Respect

Respect means ‘To feel or show honour or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy’. Showing respect is a basic law of life.

Treat every person, the tiniest child to the oldest elder, with respect at all times. Special respect should be given to Elders, Parents, Teachers, and Community Leaders.

No person should be made to feel ‘put down’ by you; avoid hurting other hearts, as you would avoid a deadly poison.

Touch nothing that belongs to someone else (especially Sacred Objects) without permission, or an understanding between you.

Respect the privacy of every person; never intrude on a person’s quiet moment or personal space.

Never walk between people that are conversing.

Never interrupt people who are conversing.

Speak in a soft voice, especially when you are in the presence of Elders, strangers or others to whom special respect is due.

Do not speak unless invited to do so at gatherings where Elders are present (except to ask what is expected of you, should you be in doubt).

Never speak about others in a negative way, whether they are present or not.

Treat the Earth and all of her aspects as your mother. Show deep respect for the mineral world, the plant world, and the animal world. Do nothing to pollute our Mother, rise up with wisdom to defend her.

Show deep respect for the beliefs and religion of others.

Listen with courtesy to what others say, even if you feel that what they are saying is worthless. Listen with your heart.

Respect the wisdom of the people in council. Once you give an idea to a council meeting it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the people. Respect demands that you listen intently to the ideas of others in council and that you do not insist that your idea prevail. Indeed you should freely support the ideas of others if they are true and good, even if those ideas are quite different from the ones you have contributed. The clash of ideas brings forth the Spark of Truth.

Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.

Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.

Always treat your guests with honour and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.

The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honour of one is the honour of all.

Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.

All the races and tribes in the world are like the different coloured flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the

Creator they must all be respected.

To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world are one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget your most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

Observe moderation and balance in all things.

Know those things that lead to your well being, and those things that lead to your destruction.

Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.

Lakota Sioux Prayer Song

If you say or sing this out loud, you will be blessed by Wankan-Tanka, a Native American name for Planet Earth. Sing it to all your Power Animals, it is the start of your Great Adventure. Be silly and have fun. That’s the biggest secret in the world, WE ARE LOVE. You can remember, if you want to. Do you want to remember? It’s fun. Go on!

Friend do this! Friend do this! Friend do this!

If you do this your Grandfather will see you

When you stand within the holy circle

Think of me when you place the sacred tobacco in the pipe

If you do this He will give you all that you ask for

Friend do this! Friend do this! Friend do this!

If you do this your Grandfather will see you

When you stand within the holy circle

Send your voice to Wankan-Tanka

If you do this He will give you all that you desire

Friend do this! Friend do this! Friend do this!

If you do this your Grandfather will see you

When you stand within the holy circle

Crying and with tears send your voice to Wankan-Tanka

If you do this you will have all that you desire

Friend do this! Friend do this! Friend do this!

If you do this your Grandfather will see you

When you stand within the sacred hoop

Raise your hand to Wankan-Tanka

Do this and He will bestow upon you all that you desire.

Given to the Sioux, by White Calf Buffalo Woman, a

Spiritual deity, to help join all nations of this world in peace.

“Ho! And so it is.”

Tribal Love, How to Love Everyone

This is how you do it. How to create Peaceful Tribes on Earth. Planet Earth and I talk a lot. This is what she tells me:

“There are, pretty much, two groups in this world. The first is the unawakened, the iPod loony, who dont care that the forests, our future breath, is being destroyed. They just want the latest gadget. The other group is the awakened. However, they seem to be angry at each other, or the governments, the multinational companies, the world banks, the ‘New World Order’ as well as the unawakened. Neither group serves me. I want you to realise that every thought, feeling and action creates your tomorrows. Start with love and end with love. Follow ‘Good words to live by’ and have some respect for all that graces this world. Are you perfect? Love all of yourself, which means everybody who is here, as anything you see in this world that you don’t like is a reflection of you, or you would not attract it into your life. We all make mistakes and all mistakes can be forgiven. Be a loving Powerful Creator at this very special and magical time. That will give me the creative energy and love I seek.”

So this is Planet Earth’s humble opinion for us humans to ponder over! Love everyone, even your worst enemy! Our planet is a place for people to share, to find and explore a peaceful way to love everyone. Anger serves no man, woman, child, planet, or blade of grass. Even, righteous anger. Anger is anger. Don’t you agree, Yes! Learn how to use the Native American Medicine Wheel to create a peaceful life for yourself and others, and many more peaceful solutions. I hope everyone will help beautiful Planet Earth. Let us see if we can have some fun, too!

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

First Edition: by Samantha Britt Beaumont in 2008
Second Edition: Copyright © 2009, by Samantha Britt Williams
All Rights Reserved
ISBN: 978-1-4452-0534-2

Planet Earth wants to communicate with Her co-creators, us. Why? Because She is in trouble and a little awareness of Her predicament can change the future outcome for Herself and All Her Relations, which includes humankind, and as co-creators, She wishes us to take responsibility and help heal Her soul.

How can you make a diff erence to this life? By learning the truth about the real state of our planet, which is a refl ection of you... What you have been thinking, feeling and expressing energetically, in short, YOU!

Mentally she is confused that so-called educated people in the western societies just do not really care about the real state of the environment. The Internet is now full of the correct facts. Nope, nothing much has changed. No real solutions are coming to Her aid.

Emotionally she is worn out, and to be frank, seriously fed up with all the humans. Sound like anyone you know?

Spiritually she is absolutely devastated that you are so unaware of the eff ects that the energy of the billions of people’s greed eating up the future resources of this planet causes... Devastating humans, animals, insects, sea life, plants, our land, the oceans, the air and every living thing in the universe, including the billions of stars and the rest of the planets. Everything is for sale to the highest bidder. Did you know you could even buy a star? Who said you owned it, to be able to sell the star in the first place?

Physically she is run down. How are you feeling? She is concerned about how unaware the public is about the true state of this planet, the air, water and soil, as pollution levels are off the charts.

Planet Earth’s Soul is in shock by your total disregard for the truth. Your thinking minds are programmed to service to self, not service to others. Why don’t you want to save Planet Earth, and ultimately yourselves?

She wants us to rediscover our ancient knowledge by activating our soul’s inner intelligence and connecting to universal wisdom. To remember and know how to respect and take care of our home. She is also shocked. You’re all so unaware of your magical co-creating abilities, along with your powerful imaginations, which can put right the problems facing the world at this time. Pure laziness!

These issues are easy to rectify. Yet there seems no one willing to take full responsibility, NOW, for the habitat, and for how we construct our life experience, by realising we (humans) contribute constantly to the current state of the planet – consciously and unconsciously.

As previously mentioned, did you know that everything that you think, say and feel adds energy to this world? What are you thinking, saying and feeling? What are you personally adding to the world at this time? Do you believe everything is doomed? Is this the sort of energy one should be creating and ultimately generating, at this time? Do you have faith in the future of the human race? Do you actually like your fellow man? Do you even like yourself? These issues can be addressed now, at this creative and magical time. Go within and find that True Love for yourself. Find that True Love for Planet Earth and All Her Relations. As we are the ultimate co-creators. This is important.

I wish to share with you the following information I received in April of 2008. The Planet Earth Medicine Wheel is a place in my imagination. So, just imagine walking through an ancient beautiful lush green forest. You come to a large clearing ahead of you. Imagine there is a Medicine Wheel, consisting of twelve large, clear quartz crystals, and a large turquoise solid crystal rock in the middle, with a small violet flamed sacred fire burning brightly. There are many flowers, French blue lavender, small white daisies, pale violet orchids, pale pink roses and white roses, all forming an inner circle around the large turquoise crystal. The herb bushes consist of white and purple sage. These are all growing abundantly inside the Medicine Wheel. A small, pure white, baby Snow Owl is sitting in the largest sage bush twittering quietly to her self.

There are four small Japanese bonsai trees, in the four cardinal positions, Oak, Cedar, Pine and Maple. I call in the plants, animals, crystals and all of humanity to be here now, to share in this healing Medicine Wheel, to allow in love and peace to all of the universe, the stars and the planets, especially Planet Earth and All Her Relations.

In the centre, slightly to the south, is a small flowing water fountain made with clear quartz crystals and diamonds. A colourful butterfly, a small green tree frog, a tiny blue bird and a small turtle are sipping the cool clear water and bathing in the fountain together, representing the four elements, to help create magic and love.

My honoured Native American friends in spirit gather in my Medicine Wheel to help heal this world. Chief Sitting Bull in the North, Crazy Horse in the East, Chief Black Elk in the South and Chief Sun Bear is sitting in the West. A small female Lakota Sioux child called Standing Holy (Sitting Bull’s beloved daughter) is sitting in the centre, representing the children of the past, present and the future.

I am standing with my beautiful Lioness and the Native American called Crazy Horse. The sun is rising, we all sing a Lakota healing song prayer to Planet Earth, All Her Relations and Great Spirit, Great Mystery and the Great Void from which all of creation comes. Next, I call to Planet Earth’s iron crystal heart centre, and the beauty of nature in all her forms, to come to the Medicine Wheel, to help me hear the message that would give Her the greatest healing at this time.

Golden Eagle Needs Healing

I call to Planet Earth’s Power Animal, the Spirit Keeper of the East, I call to Golden Eagle, to come and share her wisdom and knowledge. Golden Eagle represents the mental self, or thoughts of the Planet.

I immediately see a very sorry looking brown-feathered Golden Eagle slowly walking towards me. Her feathers are all ruffled up. She is covered in rubbish and crude oil, and she looks and smells horrible. She (the Golden Eagle) is swaying from side to side. She wants to throw up. She has allergies (from chemical poisoning) and a streaming cold. I magically offer her herbal soap and give her a shower in the crystal fountain with special cleaning herbs to dissolve and clean off the rubbish and oil. I rub her down with a towel, and wrap her up in a very soft blanket and give her a big hug.

I notice there’s something wrong with her legs, she is also trying to take deep breaths. She is looking for help. She looks up into the sky and tells me that pollution levels and the air quality are getting worse. She has to think of the future and she is very old. I ask Great Spirit, Great Mystery to come and give healing. Violet healing mist covers Golden Eagle, inside and out. As she breathes in the pure violet colour, she loses her cold and her allergies. This means we will be able, in the near future, to clean up the pollution and toxic chemicals. However, her legs are still unstable. I ask how can I heal your legs and she says, “Tell me that it’s okay to save myself.” I tell her, “Its okay, go ahead, save yourself.”

This means she will do whatever it takes to preserve this planet, who is the mother of us (on some level) as we live on Her and She provides for us. She is deeply saddened that it has to come to this high level of destruction of the physical environment. Since we have been doing lots of service to self, we have tipped the scales, now it is Her time for service to self. We have come full circle. Time is running out for the Humans! I thank the Golden Eagle, who has fallen asleep in my arms, and I hand her to Crazy Horse.

Coyote Explains That Planet Earth Has Been Captured

I go stand with Chief Black Elk, and we call to the Spirit Keeper of the South, I call to Coyote to show how Planet Earth is feeling emotionally. I can hear Coyote yelping and snarling. I go and search the forest just outside of my Medicine Wheel. I find Coyote, she is stuck in a man-made barbed-wire trap. Coyote is in great pain. I approach and ask her if I can help free her from the trap. She rolls her eyes at me and says, “Yeah, of course you can.” Hmm, I detect a little bit of sarcasm. I manage to release her bloodied paw, she licks it and looks up at me. I ask her if she wants to enter my Medicine Wheel and accept healing for her paw. She agrees, and sits quietly by my violet flame fire. As I heal her paw, Coyote calls to her friend, a beautiful copper brown Mare. The Mare appears suddenly from behind the large trees. Coyote explains that Planet Earth has been captured. Horse represents work. Planet Earth has been turned into a workhorse for the fake elite.

I notice that she is looking directly at me. She is not alone. She has a broken bridle on. I see a group of people standing behind her holding the reins tightly. I see them hanging on for dear life! They are now losing their grip on the reins. They, the fake elite, have also all fallen out of the saddle. The Mare has thrown them all off.

Coyote tells us, “The fake elite that have captured Planet Earth and her resources are deliberately destroying the environment. Just take a look around you. Why can’t you see that the world is becoming near impossible to live in, as it becomes an ever-expanding toxic rubbish dump? The fake elite have been controlling pretty much everything on this planet. However, changes are afoot!” Coyote winks at me, so does the Mare. They have a secret they wish to share, “Planet Earth has a Divine Soul rescue plan. She requested help a long time ago.” I ask Coyote, “Who did Planet Earth request the help from?”

Coyote says, “From all of the Divine Souls on Planet Earth, as we are the co-creators of this planet, the Divine energy is inside all of our souls.” Coyote tells us that long ago, Planet Earth asked every single living thing, on a soul level, if She could intervene to save Herself. Ninety-three percent responded favourably”. Planet Earth has been waiting, patiently, as She knows how to wait. However, the time is upon us, as the human race is totally dysfunctional, very unbalanced and compartmentalised. “How are most people unbalanced?” I ask. Coyote reveals that the human body is bombarded with different frequencies which travel through the body and weaken the nervous system, destroyng DNA and the human body. This occurs day and night, as we turn our world into a 24/7 retail experience.

First the radio, then radar, then x-rays, microwaves, cell phones, cell towers, big brother camera systems, hand held technology, and (available soon) eye implants for online games, bionic body parts, and computers that can think for you. We are being turned into walking robots, with more and more metal attached to the body. What about the microchip technology planned soon, to turn us into our own personal walking computers? What are they going to do next, plug us into a mainframe computer? Maybe they already have, through the mass media via TV and computers.

Coyote continues, “The microchips have been harming our fellow animals. Do your research. Your cats and dogs are now sick. The microchips cause tumours and are slowly killing us. Stop micro-chipping us and stop using radio collars on my relations. Do you want to turn the animals into robots as well? We do not need your so-called help. You the humans need our help. We are still connected to Planet Earth. She tells us when to go to a safe place. In all major earthquakes, hurricanes, heavy flooding and tsunamis, the animals leave the area, as they pick up the changes (message) in the atmosphere, which is from our mother, Planet Earth. Your species, the humans, needs this knowledge.”

“Weather, like you have never seen before, will come and cleanse this planet in many places, as it has been doing over the last few years. Man has created imbalance in the first place, and Nature needs to heal this world. Does your soul still commune with the Planet? Will She send you a message and keep you safe?” There is an old Native American saying; The further man is from nature, the further man is from his Soul.

Coyote explains that human beings’ ways bring great sadness to the world, energetically. We humans, sit in front of televisions and computers all day. We create our view of the world through mass media news channels, which are owned by the fake elite, who feed us doom and gloom. The truth is, we are deceived and uneducated about how our minds create our own experiences. If doom and gloom goes into our minds via the news, then we absorb those images and project them out again, unwittingly creating that doom and gloom in our own lives.

Therefore, turning off the TV is a great start. At least stop watching mainstream news. The news is a version of reality that is purposely created to upset, annoy and irritate you. We, then, are sending out (manifesting)

more of the same. Why do the fake elite want us annoyed and irritated, you may ask? When you are annoyed, do you make good judgments, feel powerful and in control? No, you make mistakes, become aggressive and stressed. You are made to feel powerless and that keeps you projecting out the same. It makes you powerless, and them powerful.

The people of this magnificent planet need to come together to save this world, and first, we need to stop killing each other. This society is based on war and terror. War is really a cover for competition for resources. First, land and water, then oil and gas, and next it will be people. Terra is the Latin name for Earth, funny how terror and terra sounds exactly the same. Are we are being indoctrinated with a play on words?

War on terror = War on terra

Jordan Maxwell

We hear this ‘War on Terror’ statement constantly. Do we object to using these words that continue to create constant war? I do not think we are aware of what is drummed into our heads.

Over the next five years, up to 2013, this world will experience many great changes to our planet. Magical happenings bring wonderment and awe back into our souls. A huge soul retrieval (healing) will be happening. Soul retrieval is when some of your energy is returned to you. So the human race will receive healing and a chance to get back their lost personal power. This means humans will suddenly start to feel whole and balanced again. Solar flares will knock out the energy grids. A solar flare is an explosion of charged particles that can devastate satellites, power grids and the magnetic field around the Earth. Huge fireworks in the sky is how you humans will see this event. For many years it has been known that our Sun gives off these powerful explosions, also known as sun spots, which go in cycles. They contain millions of times more energy than an atomic bomb.

During ‘Cycle 23’ the world saw the largest solar flares ever recorded from our Sun. ‘Cycle 23’ ended in March, 2007. The Sun entered ‘Cycle 24’ in August 2007, which NASA has predicted will be 50% stronger than ‘Cycle 23’. ‘Cycle 24’ is due to peak between the years of 2011 and 2012.

Does the earths magnetic field cause suicides

The Mouse That Roared: Pipsqueak Star Unleashes Monster Flare

Over the next 4 years, we can expect some whopper flares and therefore, larger Earth-changing events, such as more earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes. This also means we humans will be bombarded with even more charged particles than ever, via the same geomagnetic storms from the Sun, and more changes within ourselves. The charged particles from the Sun affect the Earth’s weather by affecting the Earth’s magnetic field. Animals and humans have a magnetic field which surrounds them in a similar way as the magnetic field surrounds the Earth.

Our ancestors (Druids, Mayan and Indigenous peoples) knew there was a connection between the Sun and other celestial events which affected humans and animals on Planet Earth. Electricity and energy problems will actually be a blessing, and even though we will have to adjust to the changes, the human body will benefit. We will be returning to living in nature. It is important to stop all this bombardment of different frequencies to let us once again live naturally, in nature, and with nature.

I thanked Coyote and asked her to stay. She smiled at me and nodded her head and goes to sit beside Chief Black Elk, who wants to play with her and cuddle her. I send violet and pale blue mist to cover the Mare, and this helps release the group of humans, the fake elite have now completely vanished. Suddenly, huge rain clouds form, it starts to rain heavily, it becomes very dark, and massive bolts of silver lightening crackle very loudly across the dark blue sky. We all look up in awe. Many bright blue and purple lightening bolts light up the entire sky and join the dance with the rainstorm. Sitting Bull laughs at the huge electrical storms that start to encircle the Medicine Wheel. The rainstorm is very loud and very powerful.

The Mare is prancing around and bucking. Unafraid, she dances in the rainstorm. She represents Planet Earth’s heart. She knows how to love everyone. She sends True Love for everyone, while she dances in the rain storm. She is very happy and bows down her head, tossing her copper mane, to honour all of us on Planet Earth at this time. She tells us to welcome the Earth cleansing. The Mare goes and stands by the North to be with Chief Sitting Bull. She wants us to listen to her friend Grizzly Bear.

Grizzly Bear Speaks About Original Spirituality

I called to Grizzly Bear, the Spirit Keeper of the West and the element of Earth, to show us how our planet is feeling spiritually at this time. Sun Bear and I stand in the West singing a song of healing for Grizzly Bear, as she is very weak and we cannot see her. It starts to rain heavily again. I see mud everywhere, I see a large spinning vortex opening up and wanting to swallow all the buildings, roads, dams and highways, knowing that these things keep us from nature and connecting with Planet Earth.

I call again to Grizzly Bear, I see a shimmer of what used to be a big strong beautiful brown Grizzly Bear, with grey flecks that once sparkled like silver, and she is fading in and out like a ghost. I ask Grizzly Bear if she wants to receive healing in my Medicine Wheel. Grizzly Bear, shaking her head, looks down and states, “It’s all backwards”, and she is very upset. Sun Bear goes to pick her up and carries her into the Medicine Wheel. She is very small, with very little fur, Sun Bear is concerned and I let him do healing on her.
When she is looking better, we ask her to talk to us about the human soul. We are told the following:

“Human beings have given away their power through religion, a subtle, spiritually devastating form of mind control. Religion implies servitude to another human being, whether it is a priest, vicar, rabbi or guru.

“Do you really want to entrust your soul to a man (usually) you barely know, who wears strange outfits and works for the church? Really, you give away your own sovereign right to be a powerful magical co-creator with Planet Earth, because some guy in a purple/black dress (to represent the feminine) says so.”

“Attending a church and begging to God to answer all your prayers? Yes, let’s constantly create loads of desperation, by begging on our knees every Sunday, creating energetically desperate human beings. Great!”

“There is a higher Divine Power. It wants you to take full responsibility for your lives, not wait around hoping for changes. Be the changes you want to see. Make things happen.”

“Research the history of the religious orders. If you go back far enough, it has always been about controlling the population and the money. The focus was shifted to there being only ‘one’ life. Reincarnation was abolished to scare you into complete submission. Do as we say in this life or you will go to hell for eternity. Very clever. The churches are extremely powerful and wealthy institutions. Why is this? Do they have to pay a premium to get your soul into heaven? Is there a secret toll, that from the goodness of their hearts, they spare us the worry and the cost? I think not.”

Grizzly Bear continues, “The original spiritually of the Human Being, your Original Divine Souls, has been tampered with, or rather inverted. You have all suffered extreme soul loss, due mainly to the fake elite’s fake religious conditioning. To divert our attention away from Nature and towards being controlled, unnatural, robots, constantly fighting over religion, land and resources.”

This is what religion was set up to accomplish. To separate us, to divide us. To ultimately weaken all of humanity over a very long period of time. To destroy humanity and this planet, through biological and chemical wars, destroying the environment.

You need to listen to your soul’s inner intelligence. We need to stop feeling separate from each other, to realise we are all from the same planet, we are all human beings. We need to work on ourselves and heal the entire journey of our soul. You can save your own soul. Which helps everyone on this planet at this time, as the more we love ourselves the more love we create and add to this world. We are all one, as you heal yourself, you heal all of this world. We are love. We are God.

Grizzly Bear is eating healing berries and fruit. She is becoming more solid, I give her some hands-on healing, using violet and pale pink. She starts to giggle. She does a silly dance and gives me a big hug. She wants to tell humans to go and heal your soul and get back your power. Your power is True Love for yourself. Grizzly Bear is now sitting on the blanket snuggling up to Sun Bear.

White Buffalo Warns That Nothing Is Natural Anymore

Sitting Bull and I call to White Buffalo, the Spirit Keeper of the North, the element of Air, which represents the physical world and the future. The Great North Wind suddenly appears, the trees are swaying quite violently. I hear in the distance a stampede of White Buffaloes. The loudness grows and a rumbling of the ground can be heard as it starts to shake. In the distance, I see many volcanoes erupting, sending ash and moulten lava into the air.

I spot the leader of the White Buffaloes, trotting towards me. She is dressed in a very strange fancy dress outfit, with a party paper hat on, carrying loads of designer shopping bags. I wondered who she was dressed up as. She arrives and informs me that she is dressed as Little Bo Peep who has lost her sheep! And doesn’t know where to find them! I think that means most people are acting like lost sheep!

On her back piled high are white goods. Unbelievably, she is carrying a fridge, a freezer, a cooker, a video, a DVD player, a TV, a microwave, a computer, an iPod and a cell phone. She has medical equipment as well, as if an IV has been put into her front right leg. She is very overweight and has wobbly legs that are very weak. In addition, I think she is drunk, as her eyes are crossed. She has lots of pressure in her head. Hmm, she is not well or coherent at all. Remind you of anyone?

I ask White Buffalo to enter the Medicine Wheel. A large silver lightening bolt strikes to clear her from all the manmade items.

All that I see now, is a beautiful strong pure White Buffalo, standing among the pile of man-made items, which immediately shrink and she kicks them happily into the sacred fire.

White Buffalo starts speaking. She asks that we listen to her, and to the animals and elements that wish to speak to us (humans) about the current state of this beautiful world.

She wants to see us reject the current model of industrialisation, and to create a holistic approach to resources and lifestyles. Unfortunately, the third world countries now see it as their time to industrialise, yet, going back to the land and cleaning up the water supplies is the only way forward. She urges us to go back to the land.

White Buffalo says, “This world is a shop, when it should be a land of paradise. You need to stop buying stuff from the shop. As consumers, human beings have ultimate power. You seem to be unaware of this. You humans buy the products. Stop buying the products. This is your real power at this time, even your food that is not organic is cloned versions of the original. Nothing is natural anymore. Go back to nature.”

“Don’t buy genetically modified foods. It is designed to genetically modify humans. Do it now. Vote with your wallet and see the industry change, overnight. In addition, read what additives are in those prepackaged meals. Why are you humans eating so many chemicals?”

“Home cooking, starting from scratch, is the only way you can truly see what’s in your meals, so learn to cook from scratch and buy locally grown food. This is very important. Financially, you are helping your local area. All food holds the vibration of the place in which it was grown. It is best consumed there, yet we shop and buy products from all over the world, which when consumed, confuses the frequency of our bodies and weakens the human body.”

“You need to demand healthier solutions to packaging as well. You need to reduce plastic wrapping. Most products are individually wrapped, and then re-wrapped and then boxed! Why? Reduce excess packaging now. Stop buying individually wrapped items. Make a difference and start today. No more manufacturing of plastic bags, plastic bottles and metal cans. How can you do this? What did you humans use before plastic! Use glass and recycle. This needs to be come the norm.”

“Go to a local area that needs cleaning up and get on with cleaning the rubbish up. Once it is clean, take a photograph of the area. Look at this photo every day to anchor in the rubbish free area, you will notice people stop dropping litter there. That would be a good place to start. Involve children in looking after green areas. Cleaning up litter is the first step to healing this planet.”

We thanked White Buffalo. She now asks that we talk to her friend, the Turtle.

Can You Help the Oceans?

Turtle walks into my Medicine Wheel and shows me a vision. In my imagination, I see her swimming frantically, as if she wants to get away from a deadly enemy. I see many men and large fishing boats after her. She is breathing rapidly, and is very nervous of being killed. This is how Planet Earth feels at this time.

I get Turtle to sit with me and receive hands-on light blue healing mist, filling her and Planet Earth with peace.

“All the fish in the sea are having trouble breathing. The oxygen levels are dropping, and that is why the solar flares will help create big natural storms to put back the oxygen. If we cannot breathe, we will not procreate, and then the fish stocks will diminish altogether all over the world. This will lead to mass starvation for humans.”

“You must clean up the pollution in the oceans. Stop carelessly dumping small plastic lighters, combs, bags and food wrappings in our waters. If you refuse to buy these plastic items, they will not end up in the ocean. It actually is that simple. Can you help the oceans? Can you refuse to buy these particular plastic items?”

“We are also tired of the continuous pulsing noises that make the ocean beds gently shake. The sonar waves are making us experience constant tinnitus. We end up in the wrong place and loose many of our family when we travel across great distances. The beautiful Dolphins (purity) and Whales (experience) are sad and show us how sad they are by turning up on shores beached. We make statements with our bodies when we are tired of the constant noise pollution. It is a relief to die. This is very serious. Your Navy and Military can be persuaded, put pressure on them for us. Then small pockets of silence can be set up for us to find relief.”

Native tribes used to be the only ones that sent the Planet Earth healing energy. Now many people from all walks of life realise they can send Her healing and love, and She feels this healing, this love. I call to the Great Spirit, Great Mystery to send down violet healing mist and send it all over the entire oceans of this beautiful world. We send a magical net to scoop up all the plastic and remove it, energetically, from the oceans. We see many scuba divers collecting the plastic items and burning them in the sacred fire. We see all the fish in the sea smiling and breathing in pure oxygen. We send love to all the beings of the sea.

We The Trees Are Here To Protect You

At each of the four directions are small Japanese bonsai trees, Oak, Cedar, Pine and Maple. The four trees start to grow and become so big that I decide to fly up to the top of the oak tree. Oak speaks for the world’s trees: “We see many of our forests completely devastated by massive forest fires and monumental logging. We have very bad news, if you continue to cut us down, only 30 percent of the trees will be living in 20 years time. Know this, we are here purely for the animals and the structure of the land. You humans have broken the soul connection. We are nearly dead to you. All the trees in the world are saddened by the cutting of life force energy that we were holding for all of you. This energy is moving to other worlds. Only some humans will be able to stay and play here.”

“The indigenous tribes of the world are having their habitat taken away. We, the trees, are here to protect you, providing materials to build structures to shield you from the weather. We are here to clean the air, to feed you with our nuts and fruits, and heal you with our medicines. Yet, we have been seen as something to cut down and destroy.”

“Why are you cutting down your future breath? If you live for today it means you die tomorrow.”

“The forest fires are out of control and you will see many more fires all over this planet in the next few years. We are dying fast and you don’t care! Why don’t you manage the forests as your ancestors did? Why have you forgotten to love and honour the trees, especially in North America, Canada, Europe and Asia? Millions, yes millions of trees no longer exist! What have you done? In the long term, our forests must remain. It is paramount to the survival of the human race. Please help us. We urge you to plant more trees (more friends)

for your future.”

“Every single person on the planet needs to plant a tree, a herb and a flower for every year of their life, and do it now. You will be making your tomorrows, and making more friends for the humans. There is little time. Act now!”

Plant trees, herbs and flowers, which are local species to your area. As more are planted, it will send love to all the trees, herbs and flowers. When you love and respect a tree, all trees feel your love. Love the trees, herbs and flowers and they will stay. I send love, rainbow healing mist and future energy to every tree, herb and flower in the world. We thanked Oak, who shrank back to a small Bonsai Tree.

The Rain Is Crying

I flew up into the Air and called to the Rain and the Wind to tell us their story. Rain was crying, believe it or not. Rain speaks, “I’m dirty and heavy, stop spraying chemicals which are hurting me. A massive global chemical spraying operation, using a large fleet of many hundreds of aircraft, seems to operate over most countries of the world. It is now severely damaging ALL life on Earth. These chemicals are very dangerous to all life on Earth. If I am filled with chemicals, I spread death all over the planet. I am life, let me be life. Why are you destroying me? I want to get away. Why do you poison this planet?”

“All these nuclear bomb tests! I understand that over 50 have been detonated in our atmosphere. What have been the benefits to mankind, to this planet? Was it worth it? Has mankind advanced by these hideous poisonous ways or weapons of mass destruction?”

Did you know that once after a nuclear experiment, which created new electromagnetic belts in the atmosphere, the caribou mysteriously failed to migrate for the first time in 3000 years? A warning perhaps of how the migration of animals, fish and birds may be affected by disturbances to electromagnetic fields - and of the potential impact this could have on every living thing.”

“Also, every single rocket launched puts billions of gallons of fuel particles into the air. Everyone is too busy watching the rocket to look at the profound amount of poisons that cannot be cleaned up, ever! What are you humans doing to this beautiful place?”

“With the additional problem, in the last 50 years or so, the fake elite, your governments, have played around with the weather. Did you know? Every year, China launches thousands of rockets and artillery shells into the sky. Through its Weather Modification Programme, China hopes to control the forces behind rain. What do you think your own country is doing to this beautiful world?”

I send deep cleansing to all the rain, using a violet and pale blue cleansing potion that clears the toxins and chemicals out of the rain. I separate the metals and dissolve them in love and justice. The rain starts to become big and clear like a massive rainbow coloured raindrop, she smiles. She says thanks for the release from all of the horrible pollutants.

The Wind Is Haunted

I call to the Wind, and she is sniffing too. She’s thick in some places and weak and thin in others, and she is tightly held by a strange metallic energy in the sky. Wind tells me, “I am getting ready to dance with the rain.”

“I am haunted by a dull humming that slices into my being. HAARP is responsible, research this.” HAARP (America’s High-frequency Active Auroral Research Programme) a multimillion dollar ‘civilian’ installation, hidden away in Alaska, ostensibly intended to ‘alter the performance of communications and surveillance systems’. Seemingly innocent enough, until she explains that this grid of 180 transmission towers is funded by the military and is part of the ‘Star Wars’ defence network. HAARP, and its linked brother projects are, she says, known to the military as ‘ionosphere modification facilities’.”

[An ionospheric modification facility is a heater, an array of 180 massive attennas which are used for heating the ionosphere (SKY) and which can create artificial aurora borealis (a natural light display). The United States hass three ionosperic heating facilities: the HAARP, the HIPAS near FAIRBANKS, Alaska and (currently offline for modification) on at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The ionospheric is the uppermost part of the atmosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere.]

Wind tells us that there are ethical questions and Human Rights Concerns regarding HAARP. There are a diversity of popular theories surrounding HAARP, crediting it with being a secret missile tracking/defence system, earthquake tracking (or causing) system, weather control, mind control, or having some other secret function. We see the three main facilities, HAARP, HIPAS near Fairbanks, Alaska, and the ARECIBO Observatory in Puerto Rico, with big signs saying CLOSED AND ABANDONED FOREVER!

I call the healing energy of the rainbows to help the rain and wind. We see the wind start to heal, and once again, she is thick, strong, and able to move freely through the air. We send violet, gold and silver healing mist to the rain, the wind, the sky and the entire atmosphere of this beautiful planet.

We Call To The Mountains Of This World

The Mountains of Planet Earth wish to speak about the mining and the feelings of abuse and pain. It is like someone taking your appendix. Hey, if its part of you, you may wish to keep it on some level.

“I (the Mountains) am being tirelessly ripped open by big explosions and illegal mining. My skin is ripped off and the pillaging begins. All the metals and precious stones you have taken out of me. What have you used me for? How has it made your life better? I cannot see how by wearing my gold, silver or copper to make you look more appealing, has made any real difference.”

“Why have you stolen my body that makes me look beautiful? Who said you could have it? Did you ask? My body has been punched and prodded, it has been scooped out, and the funny thing is, most of what you take from me is discarded. Waste and water consumption are being excessively used, your mines are poisoning the world water supplies as well. Why do this? The Indigenous people, who know how to love Planet Earth, are being thrown off their land and are resorting to eating poisoned fish. The mercury and pollution are making the local rivers, as well as the mines, one of the biggest ecological problems now.”

“The diamonds, precious gem stones and crystals that you take out of me, keep harmony with the structure and frequency of my being. They are parts of my soul. It is like someone taking your selenium out of your brain. The clarity fades as you take more of my soul, distributing them all over the planet on people’s fingers. It is scattering my soul, my sacred power. It is in the wrong place now. It is yet another way to destroy Planet Earth. It is time to find beauty within, not with gold or diamonds. You are not helping my pulse of life if you carry it to different parts of the world. Please stop it.”

“Planet Earth wishes to acknowledge that some humans do understand the true healing properties of certain metals, diamonds, gems and crystals. They are respectful and seek permission before use and activate them correctly to do their work, which isn’t sitting on someone’s finger, only to be admired.”

I send pale pink healing and love to the Mountains and the mines. They are sad. I call to the Volcanoes, “Tell me your wisdom”

The Volcanoes Come To Tell Us Their Wisdom

“Before pollution, say 250 years ago, we (the Volcanoes) were here to keep the soil rich in vibrant nutrients to help all plant life, which feeds and supports all life.”

“Volcanoes help release certain stress points in Planet Earths’ body. Also, they were places that could release gases and heat if needed. Now pollution has actually cooled the planet. Global warming is a scam. We the Volcanoes are being manipulated by HAARP and are getting ready to blast!”

“The powers that hold the reins of the world until 2013 want humans to feel bad (meaning pay for) all the pollution, yet you were deceived. No one was honest with you. Greed and money were the name of the game. My fossil fuels never ever needed to be taken. Now I have big holes inside me that are causing me to sway and lose balance.”

“Many years ago, and again recently, several alternative free energy inventions appeared and vanished, kept hidden from the public. Why? Because the fossil fuel companies were just making too much money to care about long term effects. None of the coal or oil needed to be taken. It takes millions of years to make fossil fuels, yet you humans had been obsessed with consuming at least 50% of the planet’s entire supply in a matter of 100 years. Why are you doing this? Eighty-five percent of all the energy that ‘runs’ this planet is via fossil fuels, not a good idea for the future of this planet. You need to learn to do without fossil fuels, really, to help clean up the mess.”

“Cars have single-handedly caused much of the health and weight problems in modern people. Sitting in a metal box cuts you off from nature. Yes, you look out the window at a beautiful scene in 2D, but unless you are sitting outside in fresh air 3D, you remain disconnected from nature, which leads to disconnection from your soul, disconnected from your true power.”

I send pale green and ice blue healing mist to all the mountains and volcanoes, filling the holes and spaces inside of Planet Earth with whatever is needed to bring back balance to the entire inner structure of our planet. I thanked all the Power Animals and Planet Earth for speaking to us. We thanked Great Spirit, Great Mystery.

I have seen the future, Planet Earth is travelling into the Age of Aquarius, with magic and True Love. Planet Earth urges us to go and find our power within. To go and find True Love, by listening to our soul’s inner intelligence, to become magical universal human beings. For your Great Adventure is about to begin.

Inspiring ways to get closer to Nature for optimum health and wellbeing

Rewild Yourself, written by Simon Barnes, is an inspiring handbook with endearing stories and ideas that provide the encouragement and incentive we need to get closer to our natural world with 23 'spellbinding ways to make Nature more visible.'

Each chapter is introduced with quotes from adventure story tellers such as C S Lewis, Rudyard Kipling, James Joyce and J K Rowling which capture a sense of magic, mystery and adventure that runs throughout the book.

Simon shares so many ideas and practices for the novice and those looking for inspiration to return to nature. It's a great resource for learning about and trying out new things, and to go in search of wild things in wild places.

Chapter topics include things like observing and naming common wildlife species and birds as a way to become more familiar with the natural world and boost motivation; realising the magic of waterproof trousers that can give us access to nature in all topographies and weathers; what to love about snakes and animal dung; and the joys of early rising and reading secret signs.

The bottomless sit

My favourite way to make nature more visible is the 'bottomless sit'. I can vouch for the fact that there is nothing quite like finding the perfect place to sit for a while and lose yourself in nature. This is especially satisfying if you have walked a fair way or have discovered a beautiful place which is less visited and off the beaten track.

Simon brings two magical things together by saying: 'The spell of the bottomless sit works well when combined with the spell of the magic waterproof trousers [or dry-bag].' He recommends introducing the practice in easy stages where you need to keep going until you reach a moment when the urge to move decreases. This is when you start to notice the birds and watch them in the hope that something wonderful will turn up such as a Kingfisher, an Otter, a Badger, a Dragonfly or other such privileged sighting.

I love that a whole chapter is dedicated to the art of sitting still, moving slowly and melding into the landscape so that normal life can resume around you having initially disturbed the peace on arrival. By becoming invisible, things quickly return to normal and one by one, all kinds of animals, birds and wildlife start to appear.

Time travel

Another idea is 'time travel' and the joys that can be experienced by getting up and out in time to watch the sunrise and listen to the Dawn Chorus. Simon suggests that this is the biggest wildlife miracle in Britain which is open to us all, no matter who we are or where we happen to live. I am fortunate to be able to listen to the birds as soon as I wake up living so close to many trees but I must admit when I go out to watch the sunrise, I am reminded that there is nothing quite like it and I should do it much more often.

Bring the outside in

Simon is conscious of the fact that it is not always possible to go outside and explore nature and the kind of wild places he talks about and so his words have been written in a way that will place you there in your imagination with suggested ideas on how you can take part.

A great read and reference book that helps us to pay closer attention to nature and the wonders of our natural world.

Irreplaceable by Julian Hoffman

The importance of 'place' in bringing nature-loving communities together

This is a beautiful collection of enlightening and heart-warming stories about some of the last remaining wild places and species on earth, and the people who know them well, love them and care for them.

Irreplaceable by Julioan Hoffman presents a collection of remarkable stories that flow from the pages of eleven chapters, taking you on a journey through some of our last remaining wild places with detailed descriptions, explanations and conversations about the natural world here in the British Isles and overseas.

Community love

The stories are made all the more poignant by the fact that these habitats and the species who thrive there are increasingly in danger of being destroyed. You cannot feel anything but respect and love for the people and communities who are fighting for them. Their knowledge of the land, the history and how to work successfully with nature is nothing but inspiring. Their tenacity, creativity and commitment to nurture and protect nature is heart-warming, with many hours invested for no more reward than to see nature thrive. It is a sad reality that despite being respected by locals, specialists and visitors alike - as areas of outstanding natural beauty with long histories of local husbandry - the struggle to maintain wild places and keep the (many) threats at bay is relentless.

While this theme runs true throughout the book, it does not detract from the rich and informative descriptions of habitats, ecosystems and people who are championing wild places and wild things here and overseas. With delightful narrative, Julian invites us to fall in love with the beauty of nature in collective unison and acknowledge that our treasured wild places deserve the right to flourish unhindered. This is unavoidable as you learn about the magical connections forged between people, animals, wildlife, micro-organisms and the natural seasons, and when you understand that it is these connections that make natural environments so richly diverse, bountiful and beautiful.

Natural heritage

Wild places are part of our collective natural heritage and Julian eloquently described this as the transformational power of place or 'what grounds us, holding us close to the Earth.' There is a name for this connection which is 'topophilia' or 'the love of place' which is 'a desire to forge attachments to landscapes that impart personal meaning, value and identity as they intertwine with our lives and communities.'

Irreplaceable brings to light many focal points of wonder, a dynamic lens into natural worlds where humans live in harmony with nature and everyone reaps the benefits. In these pages you will discover treasures to be found in nature and how connections are made and horizons expanded. I love the cited quote by Dara McAnulty, a fourteen-year-old Northern Ireland naturalist and writer who says: 'My roots are shaped by place and the freedom to explore. My mind is expanded by the sparks and connections which follow.'

Mesmerising murmuration

It can take a special wild place or a show-stopping natural event to bring the beauty and ingenuity of nature to our notice. Nature's ability to attract attention with her immaculate colours, scents, shapes and designs is not only for the benefit of wildlife but for us too. We are an intrinsic part of nature and our health and well-being depends on being able to connect to nature's energy on a mental, physical, spiritual and emotional level. As Julian says: 'The wild places we hold dear instil feelings of joy, calm, peace, rejuvenation, security and belonging in those who frequent them.'

And so we are awakened in the introduction by one such show-stopping natural event that had the power to attract everyone's attention on Brighton Pier one afternoon in late Winter. Not one person in a sea of small crowds, day-trippers and city residents failed to look up and watch the stunning murmeration of several hundred starlings sweeping across the skies in a fast-moving display that looked like a 'fusing into a mass of rippling black felt ... [a] growing assembly in an endless process of self-replication.'

Natural connection

Moments like these demonstrate the transforming effect nature has on every one of us and, as a perfect introduction, sets the scene for the stories that unfold. Julian takes you on a journey through peninsulas and marshes, woodlands and National Parks, coral reefs and meadows, moorlands and prairie, mountains and fens to experience the beauty of such places. You will be lulled into the gentle rhythm of nature, and warm to those who work in harmony with nature, often carrying forward ancient traditions, wisdom and knowledge to ensure its ongoing health and survival. Such wisdom can only be of benefit as we seek ways to live with and look after the wild places and things we so adore and depend on. In fact, we would all do well to think about the wild places we hold close to our hearts and what we can do to appreciate them more and protect them.

By doing so, we not only play a part in helping nature to flourish but we also discover new things about ourselves and the natural world around us, learning about wild things and making friends in the process. As Julian so rightly says: 'What matters, as always, is the quality of our connections, honouring wonder, relationships and community in the face of potentially immense loss, the sustaining ties forged between people, nature and place.'

Closer to Nature

In essence, Irreplaceable opens our minds to the invaluable and lasting benefit of living closer to nature; it opens our hearts to the enriching connections that can be nurtured between people, animals, wildlife and the natural world around us; and it reminds us that we have an individual and collective duty to protect the wild places and living things we love so dearly (both near and far), that we must stand up for them and, above all, experience them to the full and enjoy them.

The Myth of Spreading Infection And Options For Protection

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 12:51:18 GMT

Understanding the real dangers and how best to protect ourselves

This post explores the concept of 'infection' and whether 'viruses' actually exist so that we can understand what the real dangers are and how we can best protect ourselves. There are currently two theories about the cause and spread of disease which need to be questioned and a third theory which I believe provides the answer but which has not yet been considered.

We have been led to believe that germs can travel from one person to another, infecting each in turn and spreading disease throughout the population. This is how governments and big pharma have persuaded us to believe that everyone must be isolated in order to reduce physical contact. This opened the way for them to present a raft of spurious medical protocols that must be followed to protect us from something that they have not isolated or proven to be the problem. This in turn has led to the perceived 'enforcement' of social distancing, masking and untested 'vaccines'.

The facts as far as we know are explained below.

Germ Theory

The germ theory of disease was put forward to explain the reasons behind infections or diseases. It states that many diseases are caused by infectious agents or germs and refers to microorganisms which cannot be seen by the naked eye or under a microscope. Germ theory takes into account all types of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans as germs and suggests they are responsible for diseases in humans, animals, and other living organisms. It is proposed that as a result of the growth and reproduction of these microorganisms inside a host organism, diseases are caused.

When microorganisms cause infections they are called pathogens. According to the germ theory, a pathogen is the principal cause of a disease whilst other factors such as environmental and hereditary factors only influence the severity of the disease. The germs that big pharma have been marketing to sell their 'vaccines' are RNA Mammalian Viruses and, this may shock some of you, they have never been detected or to be more precise, they have never been isolated .

There is no proof that these RNA Mammalian Viruses exist except in a computer model so if you think that you could be infected by them then get yourself a computer ant-virus. It will be just as effective as big pharma’s 'vaccines' and will not do anything like as much damage. This begs the question how can anyone produce a vaccine to protect people against something which can’t be detected?

Terrain Theory

Terrain theory states that our state of health is determined by the internal environment of the body and therefore the word 'terrain' refers to the body and not the terrain that surrounds us.

Susceptibility to a disease totally depends on the quality of an individual's internal environment rather than the invasion of pathogens. When the body is maintained at equilibrium and when the repair mechanism and detoxification work properly, the terrain of the individual will usually remain healthy. When there is a healthy terrain, it can handle any attempted violation of the body which can promptly be dealt with and ejected.

A weak terrain is more vulnerable to external invaders. A weak terrain is the result of imbalanced metabolic processes which should be rectified through nutrition, mind-set, detoxification, maintaining proper pH, etc. Therefore, terrain theory encourages us to maintain a healthy lifestyle to fight against disease.

Terrain theory does not preclude the existence of pathogens but states that the body is adapted in such a way that it is able to deal with them. Only when the body is overwhelmed will it become sick or when the repair mechanism runs out of vitamins, minerals and trace elements so that it cannot function correctly.

Frequency Theory

If there is no proof that viruses exist then how is it that one person can seemingly infect another? Here we have to look into the world of homeopathy and herbalism and work out why they work. In homeopathy the concentration of the original substance is diluted to such an extent that little, if any, of the original substance still remains and so cannot possibly work, or so it is said by the pharmaceutical industry. The more the original substance is diluted, the stronger the effect of homeopathic medicines. It is worth noting that the Royal Society of Medicine now recognises homeopathic medicines as legitimate treatments.

We have to recognise that there is more at play here and one theory that fits the bill is 'frequency'. Homeopathic and herbal remedies work by changing the body’s frequency and so the change in frequency is how an improvement in the patient’s condition is brought about. We all know that Rife frequencies can do the same and so this should give us a clue as to how one person can pass on a disease to another when there is seemingly nothing to pass on. The reverse is also true in that the frequencies that one person generates can cure another and a skilled healer can use this to good advantage.

One thing we can be fairly certain of is that one person cannot infect another by expelling 'germs' and many experiments in the past have failed to show that infection actually happens.

Options for protection

Ivermectin

One proven protection that works extremely well is Ivermectin. It is a natural substance which is readily absorbed by the body. I wouldn’t like to give a definitive answer as to why it works but I would bet that it has something to do with frequencies. Ivermectin is a very fine prophylactic that reduces your chances of getting ill in the first place. If anyone wants to order Ivermectin then you can contact me and I will give you the contact details.

Big pharma are plastering the internet with every kind of horror story about the use of Ivermectin but it has been in constant use since 1970 and two of the people who developed it were awarded the Nobel Prize . I will let you form your own judgement. It is very likely that Ivermectin can be used to reduce the effects of the 'injection' and this is being investigated further.

Hydroxycholoroquine

We also know that Hydroxychloroquine is a very effective treatment for most diseases associated with the detoxing of the body and is easy to make at home. You will find instructions in the above link.

Pine Essential Oil

Finally, there is an essential oil which protects people from the effects of being with others who are suffering disease and this is Pine Essential Oil. Alberto Simon Bellu tipped us that a certain type of Pine Sylvestris Oil is also being tested as a treatment for the 'injection' itself with good results so far. This oil has a strong, dry-balsamic, turpentine-like aroma.

The correct oil to purchase is produced by Craftovator . This is a company I have been using for a few years now. It provides good quality products but if anyone knows of more companies then I am keen to know. Put some of the oil on your wrist and rub your two wrists together until the oil disappears. Repeat this routine morning and evening.

Raising Frequencies

Many of you will recognise one of Ian Welch’s mantras which goes like this:

'I choose not to be infected or affected by any type of shedding or frequency corruption on any level and in any way.'

How does that work? If you are in fear of being with someone who is ill it lowers your own physical frequency rendering you susceptible to the low frequencies associated with disease. It is my belief that certain frequencies emitted by those suffering from a bodily detox can trigger a similar reaction in those that are in close proximity. This is often mistakenly called 'shedding'. Using the above mantra recommended by Ian reduces fear and anxiety, strengthens the mind and increases our frequency for greater protection.

Please remember that the theory about frequencies causing and curing diseases is only my opinion and that of a few other Naturopaths. There have been no controlled studies although, in all fairness, there have been no wholly successful studies done on the other two theories either.

Chapter 10 - Medicine Wheel Readings

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

First Edition: by Samantha Britt Beaumont in 2008
Second Edition: Copyright © 2009, by Samantha Britt Williams

ISBN: 978-1-4452-0534-2

Are you ready to travel with the Medicine Wheel? Remember, we are going to access different parts of your soul. We do this by visiting each Power Animal that represents each part of your soul. There are five aspects to your soul, or five Power Animals to visit, to complete the basic Medicine Wheel Soul Reading.

The first thing you should do is to find out how you are really feeling now. Practice, in your imagination, connecting to the five Power Animals: Golden Eagle (mental); Coyote (emotional); Grizzly Bear (spiritual); White Buffalo (physical); and Creator (Great Spirit). Just wait and see what animal turns up for Creator, or invite a Lion or Lioness.

Watch how your Power Animals are presenting themselves to you. Did they come immediately? How big are they? Do they like you? Try walking around them. Notice them from all angles. They may look fine from the front, but sometimes their back legs are injured. If you are completely unsure, just imagine touching the animal’s head and filling them up with violet healing energy. You are giving healing to your present self.

If you are good at visualizing, it may take you a couple of hours. This is how long it takes me, to do a reading for the soul. I know that if you want self-healing enough, you do not have to actually see the Power Animals, just decide they are in front of you and speak to them in your imagination. Or paint them, or sing to them. The Power Animals also communicate on behalf of the all the animals. The animals want the humans to cheer up, they still love us. They are eager to help us, we should be grateful. They have not lost faith in us, this is a good sign.

Heal Your Present Pain

I once impressed a top psychiatrist who wanted to know what I had said to Howard (not his real name). The psychiatrist had been counselling him three times a week for many years. However, two hours in a Medicine Wheel and he was a changed man. This man was very upset about a former girlfriend who had died. I invited her to his Medicine Wheel. He got a chance to speak with her, it was a deeply moving experience for him. After that, I explained that he needed to let go of his emotional upset with regard to this girlfriend. If she is in spirit, she was not meant to be with him in this life. He finally found peace, he was able to live in the present. He started dating again.

You don’t need anyone to do this for you, you can do this in your Medicine Wheel. Take the chance to say what you have not been able to say. Listen to what they have to say too. However, do this only once, if they are in spirit. When you are finished, always thank them for coming. Then see them walk into violet healing mist and vanish. Next, imagine Great Spirit as a very bright shining star above your head, way up high in the night sky. Imagine releasing all your thoughts and feelings, by sending them up to Great Spirit. This helps by clearing your old emotions and keeps your energy field clear. Your energy field is your mind, body and aura. Live in the present moment. This is where your true power is. Be present. Be here now.

If you have unresolved hurt and upset about a living person, then in your imagination invite them into your Medicine Wheel and speak honestly to them about how you are feeling. Then send all your feelings to Great Spirit (the star above) and see them walk into violet healing mist and vanish. Let it go, and move on. Be present. This is very important.

Some people are very angry and bitter, and are always talking in a bad way about others. I inform them that they are really talking about themselves. Because that mind of theirs is listening and creating all that bitterness, again and again. Stop this immediately. Your external world is made by you, if you don’t like what is happening in your world, correct your own behaviour, from within. Be kind to everyone, but overall, be kind to yourself. You only see yourself in this life through others. Do not add aggression and bitterness to this world, there is plenty here already! It takes at least two people to have an argument. Stay silent and be peaceful. Send your own stress up to Great Spirit and ask for wisdom to be returned to you, so that you can understand and stop creating these stressful situations in the first place.

Accessing Past Life

A Medicine Wheel is a simple Time Machine, a sacred place to travel backwards or forwards in time to communicate with your former selves (past lives) and future potential self, for this current life. It is also possible to access your next incarnation, it just depends how adventurous you are.

If you wish to access a past life, just create a beautiful Medicine Wheel in your imagination. First, call for your Creator Power Animal to arrive, and then call a former self who can give you the greatest healing at this time. If you wait, a former self will arrive. Treat all former selves with great respect and honour, regardless of how they look and act. Realise that this spirit has come to help you, and hopefully you can help this former self. Some former selves just want to sit and have a chat, so just listen and if necessary provide a hug. Some former past lives will ask you to travel back in time. Just imagine walking down a time line. Imagine a path stretching out before you. Sometimes if you are going a long way back in time, fly holding hands with your former self. Remember to have some fun! Just observe what you are shown, and know that you are conducting all of this healing in your imagination and have full protection at all times.

When they (former selves) first come to the Medicine Wheel, notice, what do they look like? Who are they Where do they live, and in what time period? How are they feeling? Are they distressed? Remember, in your imagination you have the power to set all things right. Ask them what is the matter? Why have you come to the Medicine Wheel? Do you need my help? How can I help you at this time?

Be aware that your former selves are probably going to do the ‘poor me brigade’. This is very common. Be nice. Just don’t give them any sympathy. If they are children, call in their mother and father. Use your common sense. Comfort and listen to them. I find former selves are non-aggressive in most cases. If you are confronted by a lot of aggression, snap your fingers in your imagination and turn them into a six year old. They will be much easier to deal with. You’re the boss. Pull rank!

Remember this is your universe, you are in charge at all times. You may need to be firm with your former selves at times. You may have been a General with an ego the size of the Empire State Building! Being firm means being in control of the healing. Many former selves are not aware that you are their future self, so tell them. Most only realise this when you explain that they are constantly being born again without gaining spiritual knowledge, forever stuck in the holding bay of Fake Reincarnation. Tell them you can free their soul in an instant. Each former self can be released, this is very powerful healing. Just send them home into the violet mist and see them vanish into the Divine.

As previously stated, the soul is best viewed as a personal library of all the past lives you have had. These past lives hold much of your power. Reviewing and healing events in past lives can empower and strengthen you in your present life. Just imagine being able to comfort a mother of a former self who lost her child at sea, and they still carry this pain, which is held in your soul. She can come forward for healing. And you, as the healer, have magical and unlimited powers in your imagination. Ask for the lost child’s spirit to appear and watch with great love the reunion your soul has been asking for, maybe for centuries. Create the happy endings. Imagine magically healing an eleven-year-old boy with an appalling disfigurement of the face, that happened in Delhi, India in 1882, when he fell into a pit. What was I thinking in that life? Imagine healing yourself when you fled Tibet with the current Dalai Lama, but got sick on the way to India and died, away from your spiritual homeland.

I was actually a steward for the current Dalai Lama, a few years ago at Alexandra Palace. I had to stand about 5 feet from him for many hours, and he kept staring at me. I knew we had been childhood friends. I think he knew it too! I also drew massive Tibetan healing symbols all over the hall in my imagination. He was looking at the ceiling, then at me, and then back at the ceiling. I thought, “Oops! He knows! I hope he doesn’t mind!”

Some past lives are a little sad, like when I was conscripted into World War I, having to kill many people, having that sorrow and despair in my soul. Similarly, you may not have been able to forgive yourself on some level deep inside. So, heal this sadness. These are some of my healed past lives.

I understand we all need to make a big leap in consciousness, so, maybe we can heal yesterday, which heals today and heals the future, which in turn will heal this world. I truly believe we have the potential to be our greatest self now. Go and love all of yourself, meaning love all parts of your soul. It is easy and you can make it a good experience. Be the TRUE ELITE. Claim and find your power within, True Love for your True Self.

Remember, you have the ability of an All Powerful Creator to heal and solve every problem, as you are not restricted by time and space or magical abilities. Plus, you have Power Animals and Love on your side. Be a God or Goddess of Love.

You may ask, “How will I know if these are really my past lives?” And I say, do this only once. You will feel it without a question, or doubt, as you feel the tears running down your face. It’s called the tear test. You will cry with happiness.

You create a space where the pain of your soul can get the exact healing it needs instantly. No, ‘poor me brigade’. It is past, heal it, sort it and then, very importantly, let it all go. Flood your Medicine Wheel, the Power Animals, former selves and your current self with violet and pale pink mist. Pale pink is the colour of unconditional love. Have unconditional love for yourself.

Past Life Healing

I had a school friend, a young man, who once had a very bad heart condition which was causing him to black out all the time. There was no hope of a cure. What had he been doing in a past life?

In my imagination, we travelled back in time and discovered he was once an arrogant Spanish bull fighter. He had spent many years cutting out the hearts of the Bulls, while they were still alive! Bulls represent White Buffalo (your physical self), which in turn means your physical body, your health, as well as your future.

We called, in his imagination, to the Medicine Wheel all the Bulls he had abused in spirit form, one by one. He apologised, and gave back all the physical hearts. He promised that he would never do it again. He asked for their forgiveness. It was granted, and the next thing we knew, a surgical doctor in the USA had invented a device to cure his heart condition. This man is now very healthy.

Understand, you can do wonders in your imagination. This man suffered for 37 years until he did this Medicine Wheel past life therapy healing session. He is very wealthy, so money was never the issue. He got the cure because he healed himself on a soul level and the world responded with a miracle to heal him. Life is truly wonderful.

You can correct all your crimes against others. You can give yourself another chance. Just take a look around you, most people are depressed and sad. Most people need to give themselves another chance to learn to love themselves again.

We can easily become stuck in a rut. Worrying and creating negative thoughts, which manifest into negative lives. However, once we learn to truley love ourselves again, we automatically create a life worth living. Learn to love again and using your imagination create a different, softer, energy to heal this world.

Mass Past Life Healing Meditation

You can create a sacred Medicine Wheel to do a Mass Past Life Healing. Please take the time to imagine standing in your Medicine Wheel, somewhere beautiful in nature. Visualise and call in your Creator Power Animal and your four main Spirit Keepers, Golden Eagle, Coyote, Grizzly Bear and White Buffalo. Next, in your imagination call to the Medicine Wheel every past life, all your former selves. You will start to see the many wonderful souls slowly walking towards the sacred Medicine Wheel.

You will have a large crowd of many men, women and children of different nationalities, in different clothing, representing different religious backgrounds from different times. This is also a quick way to let go of conditioned prejudices that separate us. Whether one is a Chinese Buddhist, Malay Muslim, French Roman Catholic or Australian Aboriginal, we are all the same, really. We are magical eternal souls that live for a short time in different bodies, in different places and at different times. These collective soul experiences make you a magical universal human being.

If you want, you can ask them to stand in groups of the similar types of vocation. Do you know how many times I have been a monk? Do you know how many times as a soldier, that my life ended prematurely on the battlefield in the name of the King, Chief or some other useless villain?

Do you know how many times I have been a shaman, farmer, midwife or cook? What has happened to you? Who have you been? You need to find out so you can acknowledge who you really are. You can also ask your past lives to show you what you have created with your time on Planet Earth.

Have you built houses, schools, cathedrals, pyramids or ancient temples? Have you ever invented something amazing and life transforming? Have you ever sailed across an ocean, or trekked across a mountain range? Have you ever lived in an ancient forest, cave or tribe? Have you ever been a teacher, leader or Chief? Did you perfect the art of drawing, painting, dancing or singing? Did you perfect the art of shamanism with Trees, Herbs, Plants, Crystals? Have you ever been Native American, or an African or Japanese? How many different languages have you spoken in your past lives? How many different continents have you lived on? Have you lived over 20,000 years ago or in the 1600’s or 1800’s.

You can ask for all your skills to be returned to you, immediately. This is your right. It has been included in your Golden Soul Contract, that I hope you signed! The questions are endless. Who are you? What have you accomplished, and what have you done in your past lives? Is it still affecting this life?

After I had trained in basic year one, Zen Shiatsu, I had the opportunity of treating many advanced Zen Shiatsu teachers that noticed I was applying advanced techniques, naturally, without having taken the advanced training. This is because, at the age of 25, I was able to gently go into a state of heightened awareness to access my skills and knowledge from my past life when I was an expert Zen Shiatsu Doctor hundreds of years ago. I just mentally stepped aside and let my hands work, how and where they wanted.

Your soul’s inner intelligence remembers all your life experiences and can help you access the knowledge and skills, automatically. We actually don’t need to train in anything, we have done all the training that we will ever need. It is about re-remembering who you really are, a magical universal human being.

The first time I rode a horse was in Africa. I was 10 years old. The riding instructor asked me how long I had been riding. I looked at my watch and replied, “11 minutes.” She looked totally amazed, as I naturally started to control and ride the large horse I was sitting on. I accessed this skill instantly. A great love from the many past lives I had as a horse rider. What are you naturally good at? I wonder why? Don’t you ever wonder why?

Release Limiting Vows and Soul Contracts

All medieval monks are required to take a vow of poverty. Imagine still being controlled by vows you spoke or signed, made under very stressful circumstances, due to food shortages 700 years ago. It meant you had to become a monk, or starve to death. So, just in case you spoke any vows, say this aloud, and mean it.

“I now cancel all Vows from any past life
that are still affecting this life.”

A soul contract is usually made between two or more souls that agree to often preposterous demands of one another. Imagine two teenagers in love, who are blocked from marriage by their respective families. They declare that they will never be in love again. For many future incarnations, until they learn to love themselves again, they have lives that are without love. It is common to go for monk/nun lives, as they have no interest in loving another human being. Eventually they may find each other, in the same life, at the same time, many lives later. They get married, and end up hating each other! Great! Can you see how lost your soul can become, because you made certain choices as a spoiled teenager a few hundred years ago? I did this! This choice resulted in my being a monk for many lives. So, just in case you made any silly soul contracts, just say this aloud, and mean it.

“I now cancel all Soul Contracts from any
past life that are still affecting this life.”

When people tell me that they believe they will never find love, I laugh and tell them, “You have known great love many hundreds of times.” Remember, every life brings love, friendships and big adventures. I have focused on the shadow side of our soul because this is what needs healing. It is important that you say this out loud, and mean it.

“I now ask that all my Past lives receive the
healing and love necessary to make a positive
powerful healing impact on this life.”

Merging All Your Past Lives Meditation

You can ask all your past lives to merge into one Human Being of Light inside your Medicine Wheel. Try this:

Imagine standing in your Medicine Wheel. Please take the time to visualise and call in your Creator Power Animal and your four main Spirit Keepers, Golden Eagle, Coyote, Grizzly Bear and White Buffalo.

Imagine all your past lives merged into one Human Being standing in front of you.

Create golden light coming out of your hands and see this healing energy fill up the Human Being of Light, from the feet to the heart area.

Next, see the golden light fill the area from the heart to the top of the head, creating an entire golden light being radiating pure golden light as bright as the sun.

Then walk into this Golden Being of Light. To become one with all your past lives, your former selves. In your imagination, call back the following soul qualities that you have scattered. Call back your magical healing abilities, all of your past spiritual wisdom, any shamanic skills, talents and abilities that could be of use in this lifetime, now. Stay holding this image for a minute and absorb the Golden Light.

Then step out of the Golden Being of Light and send the Golden Being of Light into the violet healing mist, back to the Divine. Finish the process by seeing yourself in your imagination, sitting on the ground in your Medicine Wheel. To bring you back to the present time use the following grounding ceremony.

Grounding Ceremony

Call the element of Fire to come as a Violet Flame to encircle the entire Medicine Wheel, inside as well. Be the Violet Flame. Ask Fire to always be a friend.

Call the element of Water to come as Rain. Hear and feel the raindrops falling heavily all around you. Feel the water cleansing your mind, body and soul. Ask Water to always be a friend.

Call the element of Air to come as the Great Winds and Dancing Storms, gently drying you. Feel the power of the Great wind and Dancing Storms as it encircles your mind, body and soul with love. Ask Air to always be a friend.

Call the element of Earth by placing your hands palms down onto the ground. Connect your soul with the souls of Planet Earth and All Her Relations. Be at one.

Call the element of Love to come as Great Spirit to send down pale green mist that enters and expands your heart chakra. Ask to receive healing from the Plants, Herbs, Flowers and Trees. Ask the Plant Kingdom to always be your friend.

After a Medicine Wheel healing, do not talk about it to anyone for at least three days. This allows a clean disconnection and helps seal the healing without anyone else’s energy or opinion added. In six weeks time, you will start to notice that you are skipping down the road, smiling and feeling lighter. We all have a deep pain from our past lives that needs healing. You are accepting who you have really been. You are integrating your shadow self, your dark side. Remember, you are the creator of your life. You have created a place to heal your soul’s journey through time.

Go and have a sea salt bath for twenty minutes. Don’t think about it: Let It All Go... It takes six weeks to clear vows and soul contracts, to heal and merge all your past lives. Be gentle with yourself, and stay calm and grounded.

Future Self Healing

Using a Medicine Wheel to view your future is easy. First, take a look at the Medicine Wheel template, decide which Power Animals can help you with achieving your future goals. Call in your choosen Power Animals and request your future self in five years time comes to the Medicine Wheel. Take a look at your future self. Do you look healthy? Are you happy? What is your future self waiting to tell you?

Remember, it is up to you. No one can create a future for you. I was informed by my future self that I will create large Medicine Healing Fields that span many countries, reorganising the energetic boundaries of these countries. This will help release old stuck energy, thought forms that create nationalism, as this is counter productive to world peace. I will create strong healing spaces for people to live in peace together, regardless of nationality and race.

I have no desire to receive untruths about myself. I am here to heal myself, which in turn heals Planet Earth. I seek only love and truth. The truth will set you free, is my favourite saying. Only by really loving yourself can you truly love another. Seek your own True Love for self and True Love will seek you. This is what we are all really looking for. This is our true soul contract. We are love.

The Book of Beautiful Questions by Warren Berger

Questions that lead to deeper understanding and better decision-making

The Book of Beautiful Questions by 'questionologist' Warren Berger shows us how to ask questions that will guide us to better decision-making and a more productive course of action. This includes a range of carefully crafted questions that can be used for decision-making, creativity, connection and leadership by helping us to remove biases, uncertainty, creative blocks and emotional reactions.

Every day as we go about our lives we are required to ask questions in order to avoid making incorrect assumptions and to help us make the right decisions in life. By asking pertinant questions about a particular subject, we can gather invaluable information that we might not otherwise have discovered. Curiosity is a fundamental requirement for gaining knowledge and questions are one of the tools we use to assist us.

Why asking questions is important

The mechanism of asking questions to gain knowledge and information is highly apparent in children where studies have shown that 4-year-olds ask as many as 200 to 300 questions a day. Warren confirms in his book that, according to research by Harvard Child Psychologist, Paul Harris, children ask an average of 40,000 questions between the ages of 2 and 5.

If only adults held onto this trait of asking the important 'why' questions. It would lead to a much better understanding of things and increase our confidence in decision-making. It would also make us less of a 'target' when it comes to being sold spurious ideas, ideologies and things that may not turn out to be very good for us in the long run.

Reasons why we stop asking

The truth is that by around the age of 11 we lose this quesitoning instinct and stop asking any challenging questions at all. One reason for this is neurological as our brains start to trim some of the neural connections that expand so quickly in our early years. Another is cognitive as we develop more mental models and get better at categorising things. Another is our education system where asking questions is deemed 'inefficient' although most of us know the real reason why children at school are discouraged from being curious and challenging the 'status quo'.

For any of us who have fallen into the trap of 'not asking', relying too much on existing knowledge and habits rather than continuing to inquire and learn, this book is invaluable. I have honed in on a breakdown of some of the most relevant 'decision-making' questions for the purposes of this post to help us get our powers of 'questioning insight' up and running again.

Questioning insight

We all have to make decisions every day. Some we make automatically and some require some thought. When we know that our brains are hard-wired to take the shortest route to decision-making, we can see how we can easily surrender a seemingly costly or difficult thought process to a quick decision so that we can get on with things and move on.

This is why we have to be careful not to make important decisions on the basis of memory, main-stream propoganda or preconceived ideas. With the rate of change in the world and so much to take into consideration, 'questioning insight' becomes ever more necessary. When we fall into the trap of 'not asking' because it's easier not to, there is often an underlying reason such as a fear of the unknown, too much focus on the wrong information, being overconfident about 'forecasts' and/or favouring information that confirms our pre-existing assumptions and biases.

Decision-making questions

Here are some challenging questions to ask before making important decisions and as a means to reassess decisions we make automatically that may not have been (at least until recently) given much thought:

Biases and beliefs

What am I inclined to believe on this particular issue?

Why do I believe what I believe?

What would I like to be true?

What if the opposite is true?

Intellectual humility

Would I rather be right, or would I rather understand?

Do I solicit and seek out opposing views?

Do I enjoy the 'pleasant surprise' of discovering I am mistaken?

Bullsh** detection

How strong is this evidence?

What am I not being told?

Does it logically follow?

What is the opposing view?

Which of the conflicting views has more evidence behind it?

Overcoming fear or failure

What would I try if I knew I could not fail?

What is the worst that could happen?

If I did fail, what would be the likely outcome (and how would I recover)?

What if I succeed - what would that look like?

How can I take the first small step?

In conclusion

It takes time to go through the what, why, where and how questions in various scenerios but we can all see how this is helpful to us. Taking a step back to apply some 'critical thinking' - especially when we 'feel' that something might not be quite right - cannot only serve us in saving precious time, money and potential embarassment - it can also serve in helping to save lives.

All in all, in our quest to bring the world to peace, truth and optimum health, we must not be afraid to ask the right questions and to make 'curiosity' our new best friend.

Chapter 9 - Medicine Wheel Meditations

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

First Edition: by Samantha Britt Beaumont in 2008
Second Edition: Copyright © 2009, by Samantha Britt Williams
All Rights Reserved
ISBN: 978-1-4452-0534-2

Golden Eagle Meditation

Connect with your Golden Eagle, the Spirit Keeper of the East, where the sun rises. Golden Eagle represents new creations or your wishes. It also represents the mind and your mental state.

Using just your imagination, ask your Golden Eagle to bless your mind and cleanse all programming and pre- conditioning that you no longer need to have in your life. Imagine it leaving and going up into a large, very bright star, way above your head, in the sky. Ask to have wisdom and understanding sent back. Now feel your head lighten.

Go and make friends with your Golden Eagle, see it grow very big, glowing in golden light and get onto its back and go fly across the entire beautiful multi-coloured galaxy, passing the stars and the planets. Leave this world and find your own sacred space in this beautiful Universe. Be free from everybody and everything, be with SELF. Be at one with your Golden Eagle. Be at one with your mind. Be a peace. Thank Golden Eagle and return to the present.

Coyote Meditation

Connect to your Coyote, the Spirit Keeper of the South, where the sun is highest in the sky. It represents your present feelings and your emotional body. Ask Coyote to help clear all your old emotions and cleanse all your emotional responses that you are generationally programmed with, and preconditioning that you no longer need to have in your life. Imagine them leaving and going up into a large, very bright star, way above your head, in the sky.

Send all your old emotional patterns, old feelings and responses, up out of your being. Send them up to the bright star, representing Great Spirit. Now feel your heart lighten and smile.

Make friends with your Coyote. See your Coyote start to glow an amazing silver colour, climb on his back and visit the sacred turquoise waterfall. Enter the pool of turquoise water and let it cleanse your emotional body. Feel the water repairing your DNA. Your emotional and feeling body begins to vibrate, and for a moment, you become invisible, and are able to let go of every single feeling and emotion you have ever had throughout all your Past lives. Return to your original state of being – an Original Divine Soul. Be at one with your Soul. Thank Coyote and return to the present moment.

Grizzly Bear Meditation

Connect to your Grizzly Bear, the Spirit Keeper of the West, where the sun sets in the sky. It represents your spiritual self, your belief system that you adopted in this lifetime. Ask Grizzly Bear to help clear old, out-dated belief systems that no longer serve you. See all your old belief patterns floating up and out of your entire being to Great Spirit. Feel your heart relax and lighten as you release all the old beliefs held there.

Now, go back in time with Grizzly Bear, many tens of thousands of years ago. Imagine walking down a time line into a beautiful mountain range. Notice the evening sun setting. See a large cave entrance, this is the Divine Bear cave. A place to receive spiritual healing. Request a shamanic healing treatment and allow a shaman to come and pu rify your spiritual self of all things that hold you back from being a truly creative spiritual being. Stay as long as you like, filling your entire being with spiritual wisdom. Finish by asking the Grizzly Bear to home with you. Thank your Grizzly Bear, and ask your inner being to ground yourself fully in the present.

White Buffalo Meditation

Connect to your White Buffalo, the Spirit Keeper of the North, where it is night and the stars are high in the sky. Your. White Buffalo represents the future and your physical body. Ask White Buffalo to bless your body and your future and to release all your physical illnesses or regular ailments (aches and pains, and old injuries).

Imagine all your health problems leaving your body, mind and aura – your entire being – send it up to the bright star that represents Great Spirit, Great Mystery and the Great Void. Ask to be sent back wisdom and understanding. Now feel your entire body lighten.

Go and make friends with your White Buffalo, see it grow very big, glowing in golden light. Get onto its back and go running across the plains to most favourite place in the world. Talk to White Buffalo about helping you create the future you desire. What are your future plans? What are you going to create? Why not include the whole of humanity in your future plans? Help steer us all in the best direction. We only have each other, it’s best we all stick together. Be a good example. Be masterful about your future. Be wise too! What is best for everyone should be your stand point. We are all equal. We are all one, actually. Be the spirit of the sacred White Buffalo. Be its medicine.

Creator Meditation

Connect with your Spirit Keeper representing Creator. This can be any animal. My favourite is the Lion/Lioness, representing the highest spiritual protection. It is your connection to Great Spirit, Great Mystery and the Great Void. Ask this Power Animal to bless your Life.

Using just your imagination, start to walk towards a large waterhole in the deepest part of Africa. See a large group of Lions and Lionesses laying around in the Sun. Call over and ask your Power Animal to reveal itself. You will see one of the Lions or Lionesses get up and come towards you. It will probably walk around you three times as a ceremony of bonding. As it walks around you, it is healing you, first your aura, then your body and finally your Soul.

Imagine releasing all your old and tired energy up and out of your entire being - your body, mind and aura. Release all your yesterdays, live in the present. Become good friends with your Creator Power Animal. Become good friends with Great Spirit. Be a Great Spirit.

Uniting all the Tribes

In your imagination you can visit the sacred World Peace Medicine Wheel to meet with Sun Bear who is in spirit. The Chief of the Bear Tribe’s vision is to unite all people of this world and to help preserve Planet Earth for future generations to come. You can join the Bear Tribe if you ask. In your imagination, walk into an area where the massive redwood trees of California stand in a large circle, a living World Peace Medicine Wheel.

Always enter the Medicine Wheel from the South. This is the one and only rule to Medicine Wheels. This is where your Coyote and emotions are, and you must be able to heal all of your old emotions, as this is what needs to be healed. Imagine your Golden Eagle, Coyote, Grizzly Bear and White Buffalo accompanying you inside the Medicine Wheel. Also, always call to your Creator Power Animal.

Just wait patiently for Sun Bear. He will appear and probably give you an almighty hug. Do not be surprised if he comes as a huge Grizzly Bear. Sit down with him and tell him all your worries and then send them up to Great Spirit. Remember, Great Spirit is a bright star above your head. Push all your worries up into the star. Use this technique daily to clear your energy field. It is a very simple and powerful way of letting go of the old you, the one that blames others by moaning and complaining. Let her/him go please! Do this as often as you need to. Learn to clear your thinking mind, your body and your aura.

While you are still in the World Peace Medicine Wheel, you may request healing from Great Spirit and Sun Bear. Imagine a healing table and go and lay down on the table and accept a healing treatment from Sun Bear. When you are finished, thank him and Great Spirit. It may be a good time to give thanks to Planet Earth for everything you have ever had from her.

Bear in mind that you are an amazing magical being who is better than any other being in this entire universe when it comes to healing yourself. Only you can truely heal yourself. Open your heart and ask for healing to unite all the peoples of this world.

The Medicine Wheel is a springboard of power that will allow you to link up with all the energies of the Universe.

Sun Bear, Chief of the Bear Tribe

Glyphosate Herbicide - The Hidden Killer

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 12:50:20 GMT

The reason why going naturally 'organic' is more important than ever

On the cusp of the unrest imposed on us nearly three years ago, an alarming revelation was about to break. In the absence of any long-term testing on Glyphosate, a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant, a litany of harmful effects and death caused by this nasty chemical could no longer be suppressed.

In May 2019, a California Court ordered Monsanto to pay $2.055 billion in damages to two individuals diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) over allegations that the company failed to warn consumers that exposure to Glyphosate in Roundup weed killer could cause the disease. Later that year, there were over 17,000 pending prosecutions and we have heard nothing of any progress since then.

Root of all evil

There is also a compelling correlation between the use of Glyphosate (Roundup) and Autism which comes down to the disruption of the sulphate system in the human body. Glyphosate disrupts the development of the brain in early life by affecting the enzymes which attach sulphate to the neurons.

Glyphosate is unlikely to be the only cause of autism but it is most certainly a contributing factor and is also a contributing factor in diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, kidney disease, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer and blood cancers. Please refer to my article: Cancer is not a disease to fear.

This is possibly only the tip of the iceberg and just as we are concerned about the effects of the COVID jab, we need to be vigilant about the wide spread and long term effects of Glyphosate.

The reason farmers use Glyphosate is to achieve more uniform drying of wheat to ensure the wheat dies in a uniform manner. This makes harvesting more cost effective. However, whilst walking down a footpath alongside a field of wheat a while ago, I noticed that all the growth next to the field was dead. I then looked at the wheat itself and noticed that the rich golden yellow associated with a wheat harvest was more like a dirty grey. The whole field was sick and the harvesters were moving in to do their work.

Going organic

Since that day, I have made my own bread with organic stone ground grain. Stone ground because wheat that is finely ground into flour releases its energy into the body too quickly. This causes a spike in blood glucose levels whereas stone ground flour releases its energy more slowly, much the same as oats.

Protecting ourselves against this poison is not easy and the most obvious is to stay clear of any wheat products which are not labelled 'organic' and we must endeavour to protect children and young people against the harm that manufactured 'cereals' cause in the body.

We are not just talking about wheat as Glyphosate is used widely on many crops such as brassicas (eg., cabbages), crucifers (eg., broccoli) , nightshades (eg., peppers), leafy vegetables and fruits. More concerning, our soil is being contaminated so we must also include root crops on the danger list. I have one rule when it comes to shopping and that is: if it isn’t organic it stays on the shelf.

With this in mind, our Trade Directory is an ideal place for members who are growing and producing organic foods, natural medicines and goods such as Cornish Organics to promote their business or service. Please get in touch if you would like to promote your business here too. Sooner or later I believe that enough people will make their preferrences known and the big stores will get the message.

Saving our bees

First considered as non-toxic or slightly toxic to bees, Glyphosate has been shown to negatively affect the survival, development and behaviour of bees. Research into the effects of Glyphosates on the insect population are scant, perhaps due to the absence of funding, but those that were carried out all pointed to the harm Glyphosate can do to pollinators.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a profound fondness for bees and the essential role that they play in the food chain. Bees pollinate over 80% of our crops. There is much research suggesting Glyphosate may be indirectly killing bees via their gut bacteria which is extremely worrying for both the bees and for us.

Anything deadly to bees and plants, is also deadly to all living things (including us) in the long run. If the studies on neonicotinoids, a neuro-active insecticide, is anything to go by, there is a lot more to discover yet and there are also serious questions about the potential harm that Glyphosate-based weed killers can do to soil health.

Friendly farming future

We need a wholescale rethink of our farming systems so that nature friendly farming methods, such as organic farming can become the norm. We also need to find out whether COVID provided a convenient means to divert people’s attention away from the emerging scandal about the rape of our environment and worldwide increase in critical disease.

Tragically, Glyphosates are still being used extensively and this should be a big concern for us and future generations. We are the custodians of this planet Earth and we must stop the use of such poisons by hitting them hard in the wallet.

Do not buy their products and they will eventually learn.

Final note

I would like to thank our Editor, Sue Cartwright, for her help in editing this important article. It's something I have wanted to publish for a while but it was tricky for me to get it to read well. It is invaluable when we can work together as a team and I hope you will all pass on the message.

Crystal Mandala Oracle Message For Awakening Souls

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 19:18:17 GMT

Honouring our values and listening to our intuition with discernment whilst showing compassion for any mistakes made

I found these beautiful oracle cards in my favourite crystal shop Three Wishes and they have become my treasured go-to cards for guidance and spiritual enlightenment. So much so, I asked for a message for all of us (awakening souls) and was blessed with insights that shine a light on where we are now and how we might best proceed.

I noticed the date after the reading (an auspicious 22.11.22 for the numerologists amongst you), and it turns out that today is the eve of the New Beaver Moon moving into Sagittarius. This is a time for preparing for the Winter months and beginning a new chapter in life drawing on the open-minded and free-spirited energy of Sagittarius, and ruling planet, Jupiter, bringing growth and positivity.

The Crystal Mandala Oracle cards represent Anrchangels (444 suit), Ascended Masters (333 suit) and Crystal Goddesses (888 suit) who bring their divine power and wisdom to Earth by channeling messages. As Alana says: to assist us in living into the fulness of our divine desiny, to shine our heart light in the world and live our truths with freedom and grace.

Only take what resonates with you from the beautiful descriptions provided below. This reading is for all of humanity so these insights can be used to show us where we are on our journey. It provides a means to understand what ourselves and others might be going through and how best to support each other.

ALREADY THERE IS VALUE

43. Goddess Matangi and Heliotrope

'It is natural for creative energy to become excited by new possibilities, new ideas and new forms. It is also possible however to become engaged in liberating the undiscovered value within that which already exists, polishing it until it shines with divine light.

Sometimes there is a need to shed the past and all associated with it completely starting afresh. However, at other times, there is something of the past that can, if allowed to bask in the light of your creativity, become very valuable to your future. In your enthusiasm to move forward in life, don't forget to take the value that already exists in your world along with you.'

DISCERNMENT

22. Ascended Master Hilarion and Green Chrysoprase

'There is an experession that all that glitters is not gold, and that appearance can deceive. This does not mean you must greet the world and all its appearance with suspicion and distrust. It does mean it is wise to trust what you feel and sense happening beneath the surface, even if that seems to directly oppose what is being said or what many others may believe.

The world is filled with opportunities for you to practice sensing truth behind the mask. You will do this most accurately when you allow your instincts and intuition to inform you without rationalising the information so it matches the superficial appearance of things.

If intuition or instinct is niggling you, then it is trying to communicate something. Listen. Take your time to feel for your authentic response. Discernment helps you cut through illusion, manipulation and deception and get to the heart of the matter at hand. It is the intelligent use of your intuition and instincts that will help you navigate through the multitude of choices available to you every day and choose what best serves your life journey.'

HEAVENLY MERCY

18. Angel Uzziel and Smoky Quartz

'As you grow spiritually, your energy field becomes more substantial. Your thoughts and actions carry more karmic weight in the world. As your power increases, your ability to do good increases too. Your positive words can have a potent effect on others. So too can the very human moments where you may be having an 'off day' and unintentionally respond to another in a way that is not unconditionally loving.

We do not want you to be afraid of becoming powerful. We know that most often you are going to make a positive contribution with your power. we also know that sometimes you will wish you could 'undo' a choice you have made, and its effect. To help you, we offer our karmic protection, where the destrctive impact of your actions is softened and the positive effect of your actions is enhanced.

As you grow in power and impact, our gift of heavenly mercy will surround you, aligining your actions with divine will and blessing you, and all affected by you, with divine compassion.'

DECENDING POWER

28. Ascended Master Lao Tzu and Zincite.

'This is the powerful downward current of energy that allows for manifestation, for strengthening of the spiritual connection to the body, and of bringing your light to the Earth.

In the spiritual tradition, there is much emphasis on energy rising; yet without the blanance of descending power, you will feel lost in your mind, scattered in your thinking and frustrated in your efforts to see the inspired ideas you recveive translated into completed tasks in the physical world.

The uprising power helps you shift frequencies and access inspiration, whilst the descending power helps you ground to create. There is a time and place for both the rising and the descending currents of divine energy. You are guided to attend at this time to the descending power to make best progress on your life journey.

In conclusion

The Universe is asking us to appreciate and hold onto our core values of goodness, integrity and friendship, and to bring them with us on our spiritual journey. The angels, ascended masters and goddesses are encouraging us to be discerning in our judgments and decision-making. We are being encouraged to connect with our higher selves and the spiritual world, and to step back and listen to our intuition and gut instincts even if they seem to contradict the 'status-quo' and the people around us.

Above all, we are being asked to tune into the humility, love and compassion within our hearts, and bring together those around us. It's time to forgive ourselves and each other the mistakes we may have made so that we can learn from them. Only then can we can move forward together in friendship, unity and truth - growing stronger and wiser every day.

Through all this, we are being given confirmation that when we connect to our higher consciousness and divine light, we raise our frequencies and become part of the powerful and limitless energy of the cosmos. With hearts full of love, when we channel our good intentions into enjoyable, cooperative, creative action, amazing things start to happen.

We are all loved and never on our own, even less so as we continue to join together - it's our time to shine!

Homeopathic Remedies and How Best To Use Them

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 12:48:47 GMT

Guidance on how to care for and ingest homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies are sensitive and require special handling and ingestion to achieve best results. The following guidance will provide the information you need to care for and take your medication.

Do not touch the tablets but instead shake them out on to the lid of the bottle or a clean metal spoon and then tip them in to your mouth. If you use the lid of the bottle then make sure that you don’t touch the inside of the lid or breathe on it.

Put 1 or 2 tablets under your tongue and allow them to dissolve. Do not take anything strong tasting, such as tea or coffee, before taking the tablets or for about half an hour after they have dissolved (if possible).

If you should get more tablets falling out of the bottle than you need then tip the tablets into your mouth and then remove the unwanted ones and throw them away. Do not put the excess tablets back into the bottle lest you contaminate the remainder.

When using the 6c tablets then try to take 2 tablets 4 times a day but, if you are unable to do so, try and be consistent and take 2 tablets 3 times a day for a slightly longer period (say 8 days instead of 7 days) or until the symptoms start to subside.

When using the 30c tablets and above (high potency tablets) take just 1 or 2 tablets at a time until the symptoms start to subside (sometimes just one tablet is sufficient). You can still take the 30c tablets every few hours until the symptoms start to subside as there is no chance of an overdose. The higher potency tablets are used mainly for 'first aid' or when the symptoms are severe and should not be used as a continuous course of treatment without your practitioners’ instructions.

As a rule of thumb, the longer you have had the symptoms, the longer you will need to take the tablets before you notice a change.

REMEMBER! If your condition improves then stop taking the tablets and let your body do the rest. You can always start taking the tablets again should your condition worsen but if you take the tablets for too long you may cause the symptoms to return again.

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

What is a Medicine Wheel?

According to Chief Sun Bear, the sacred Medicine Wheel is an Earth-based ceremony and tool. The Medicine Wheel appears to be simple, a structure of up to 36 stones. Yet there are untold levels of meaning to the
simple circle.

The Medicine Wheel of the past served many purposes for the native people of the Americas. They were places to pray, meditate, contemplate, strengthen connections with nature and come to a high degree of understanding of one’s self and the relationship with all of creation. Take the first step to love and become your own Shaman.

What is a Medicine Wheel?

When I studied the Medicine Wheels of Sun Bear, I discovered that his philosophy was that all people are allowed to use the Medicine Wheel, whether you are Native American, Irish, French or Chinese. He believed deeply that all tribes of the world can unite and live in peace.

The Medicine Wheel forms a Circle. A Circle

has healing power. In the Circle, we are all equal.

When in the Circle, no one is in front of you. No

one is behind you. No one is above you. No one is

below you. The Sacred Circle is designed to create

unity. The Hoop of Life is also a circle. On this

hoop there is a place for every species, every race,

every tree and every plant. It is this completeness of

Life that must be respected in order to bring about

health on this planet.

Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota

In the beginning, when the US was just forming, the first thing the invading Europeans did was destroy all 20,000 American Indian Sacred Medicine Wheels, because they held all the Ancient Sacred Power of all the tribes of the Americas. They destroyed them all, their magic, their love and their connection to nature.

According to Sun Bear, you make a Medicine Wheel and wait respectfully for your Power Animals. It was all very deep and serious.

When I first did this ceremony, it was the opposite of serious. The Power Animals were turning up in outrageous outfits and they were hilarious to talk to. In my imagination, I was receiving extraordinary comical sights that made me really laugh.

I was actually a bit concerned, as I did not want to be disrespectful towards this great spiritual power. The Golden Eagle is revered by all the different Native American Indian tribes, the same way that Jesus is revered by the different Christian churches around the world. I began to realise that my sense of humour had actually made a deep spiritual connection with the Power Animal Spirit Keepers.

Great Spirit told me that the Power Animals would be happy to turn up for my clients and show them, by reflecting back to them, their 36 personal states of being in a humorous, comical and healing way.

Each Power Animal represents a different part of the soul or aspect of your life. This healing method can be great fun and can have most people in hysterics. The shortest path to self-love is to laugh your way there.

Sometimes, a part of your soul, or Power Animal, may not want to talk to you, and may not even really like you at the present time. If this happens, apologize to the Power Animal, which as already mentioned, really is a certain aspect of your soul. Make an agreement to change. Tell it you will be more loving towards yourself. Give your Power Animal love for the future. Give it a cuddle. It wants to be your friend.

Once, a Golden Eagle (your mental self ) was carried into my Medicine Wheel by Great Spirit, and it was in a large leather bag, all tied up in a neat bundle. When I untied it, I found a very sorry looking collection of Golden Eagles bones. That was it!

This represented one of my female friend’s state of mind. I remember say ing to my friend, “Well, you have certainly done a good job of looking after your mind, haven’t you?” This person thinks and worries way too much. Look, there’s only a few bones left.

We got my female friend to call on healing from Great Spirit to completely bring the Golden Eagle back to full health, and it grew organs, muscles, feathers, a beak, eyeballs, etc. It was very fascinating to watch, and of course, it took lots of love.

I told her to send healing every day to her Golden Eagle for a while. This meant visualizing her Golden Eagle, in her Medicine Wheel, for a few minutes each day. She must feed it, talk to it, stroke its feathers, go fly around the world on its back, if she wished, she had to remain in daily contact.

She gave it hands-on healing too, along with healing violet mists, rainbows, and gold glitter. She went for it. She could decide how to heal her Golden Eagle. This is how she learnt to stop worrying. Her Golden Eagle was very grateful. Actually, all the Golden Eagles were very grateful.

Most people’s Coyotes (your emotional self) are in a confused state. Some pretend they are dead. I tell them that I know they aren’t really dead. They just lay around acting dead, I stand there looking at them, going, “Get up and stop being so silly!”

Sometimes, they tell me to go away. It’s so funny that I tickle them. I get the human self to send them courage and to go and talk with their Coyote. This is an extremely common condition of the emotional body. Most people do feel dead inside. Let’s heal that one. Once, I saw a completely burnt female Coyote laying on the ground, near a volcano. She was all black and crispy. I thought, “Now, you’re a complete drama queen!”

Some people’s Grizzly Bears (your spiritual self) are very sick and act very strange. What weird religious teachings some people learn. If your Grizzly Bear runs away, (most run and hide) get it to come back. Explain that you know that they are not very well, and that you are going to heal them, in an instant. The Grizzly Bear doesn’t need to give you permission, because you are actually looking at your own spiritual self.

In your imagination, give pure water, herbs and berries. Spend time hugging all that soft brown fur. Ride through the wilderness on the Grizzly Bear’s back and feel the sun on your face, or visit the ancient Bear Spirits cave and ask for healing.

Again, visualise using hands-on healing, imagine pale pink healing mist flowing from your hands into the Grizzly Bear for unconditional love. Shower with different coloured rose petals for love. Give a necklace made of clear quartz and turquoise to protect and strengthen the soul energy. Use your imagination to give love and healing to your soul, through your Power Animals. Watch it get well very quickly. Be your Grizzly Bear’s friend. Be your own friend.

White Buffalo (your physical self) is born white, but grows up to be brown, tan or black. It also represents your future. If the White Buffalo is an extremely large Power Animal, congratulate yourself, this is a good sign. You have a great and prosperous future. However, it is very common to see much smaller White Buffalo. In the wild they grow to 8 foot tall. The worst case I have encountered, was a White Buffalo the size of a baby mouse! I was like, “Will this man even make it home, today?”

I gave this man, in my imagination, an air pump to blow up the White Buffalo. It made him really laugh. He’s fine now. Still alive, with a regular size White Buffalo, he keeps track of it.

Know your weaknesses. Strengthen the Power Animals that appear very small. Pay special attention to the four directions, Golden Eagle (your mental self), Coyote (your emotional self), Grizzly Bear (your spiritual self) and White buffalo (your physical self) as these four main Spirit Keepers are very powerful and can help you stay grounded and balanced.

Some people are lazy, so, when you call their Deer (which is your ability to take action, you may have quite a challenge. Once, a Deer was hiding behind a tree. She was standing upright, like a human and running between the trees. I was laughing and telling her that I could see her. She was adamant and told me, that I couldn’t see her, and I said “But we are having a conversation!” She gave in and came to the Medicine Wheel to be healed by her human self.

When you are looking for Snow Goose (which is your ability to create the life you desire), you may find a very worried and stressed-out bird, with broken wings, covered in dirt and in need of some self confidence. This world, or rat race, is not for the faint hearted. Snow Geese are always crying and are usually weak. Some turn up with dark glasses on and whisper that they are hiding from life. They have given up on their human self. People are very good at giving up. Give it a hug and encourage it to cheer up, promise that changes are coming, and that you want the Snow Goose (or put another way, your soul) to give you time to create a life worth living. Tell them you have new tools, a Medicine Wheel, to call Nature and all the Power Animals to show you how to find True Love for yourself. You now have new abilities available to create all that you desire.

Wake up to your true power. Become a magical universal human being. Go and find your Coyote (your emotional self) and love it constantly everyday. Imagine walking in nature through the trees by your Medicine Wheel. Make friends by cuddling its fluffy fur. Give it hands-on healing. Remember that pale blue (peace) and pale pink (love) combined make pale violet (protection). Play with your Coyote in your imagination. This will cheer up your emotional self. I mean, it’s not as if you have to actually feed it and take it for walks, right?

Also, tickling your Power Animals always seems effective. Or tell them a joke, meaning you, the human, go and read some jokes, or read a funny book. Go and spend time with a funny person, resolved to cheer yourself up. If you decide life is funny, guess what? Life gets funny.

By making it funny, you start to feel better. This world is full of worry. Worrying creates more worry within this world. Now, laughing adds more laughter to this world. Laughter breaks down worry. Create a better future world for all of us. Life is very simple. Bring it back to basics. What you spend your time experiencing is what you bring into your tomorrows.

Just go play with some Power Animals. Pick the ones you really don’t like first. Many people hate Snakes (your ability to transform yourself). Anyone can play with Dolphins (your ability to be honest, pure and peaceful) and Turtles (your ability to heal this planet). Go and love your Snake. Find your Snake and make sure it doesn’t eat your Mouse (your ability to organise your life, introspection. I am joking! Power Animals do not eat each other, they respect each other. Remember to become childlike again. That’s the way to do it.

You need to play with this. I was going to call this book ‘The Art of Complete Silliness’ However, I don’t believe people are ready to acknowledge that we all need to be a bit silly. Life here on Planet Earth is totally ridiculous. So, what can you do? I have spent time educating myself about what’s really going on. Ten years ago, I sent healing energy to everybody and everything in this world. Governments, heads of state, UN meetings, whole nations, honestly, the whole lot. I could name any world leader. I knew what was going on in politics, and the economy. What a complete and utter waste of time. Big ego or complete idiot, still not sure, the same thing really. I think big, but you see that was the problem. I was thinking and worrying. You can’t win by worrying. You just add and create more worry for the world. You have no power to create a good future if you constantly worry and create worry. The power you need is to trust that solutions will be found to create a positive future in your imagination. A good place to start is to see all of humanity living without poverty and war.

At this moment in time, if I do find out that something ‘negative’ may happen, I construct a Medicine Wheel and ask for a peaceful solution. I make a wish in my Medicine Wheel. Every single wish that I have asked for has always been granted, big or small. This is a good way to help heal this world. Construct a Medicine Wheel. Now, I live in my imagination, creating a life worth living. I start my day with fun wrestling my Grizzly Bear. Now, that’s quite an achievement. As long as you don’t live near real Grizzly Bears you should be fine.

Learn to play again, but don’t go all moody and start saying: My Dolphin has no fins and my Coyote said she hates me. I can’t catch my crazy Grizzly Bear and my Elk is in a bad mood and keeps tutting at me. Just relax. Come on, it is a little bit funny. Learn to laugh about it, don’t take anything seriously anymore. There really is no point.

All you need to realise is that you are the All Powerful Creator. This is your Universe. Just know you can stand in the middle of your Medicine Wheel, call the 36 Power animals in at the same time and declare them all fit and well, in an instant. Get it? Why make life hard. It’s easy, when you know how. Here is a way to call in your Power Animals.

The Planet Earth Medicine Wheel is a place in my imagination. I imagine walking through a lush, bright green forest. I come to a large clearing ahead of me. I imagine there is a Medicine Wheel, consisting of twelve tall clear quartz crystals, and a large turquoise solid crystal rock in the middle, with a small violet flamed fire burning brightly with white sage at the base.

At each of the four directions are tall elegant trees, Oak, Cedar, Pine and Maple. I stand with my creator Power Animal, a Lioness. I call to all the plants, animals, crystals and all of humanity to be here now, to share in this healing Medicine Wheel, to allow in love, gratitude and peace to all of the Universe, the Stars and the Planets, Great Spirit, Great Mystery and the Great Void.

I imagine standing in the centre with a golden contract in my hand. I now ask all 36 Power Animals to acknowledge this contract. I call in the following Power Animals in this order: Golden Eagle, Coyote, Grizzly Bear, White Buffalo, Creator (can be any animal you wish, however, I recommend a Lion/Lioness), Snow Goose, Otter, Cougar, Red Hawk, Beaver, Deer, Woodpecker, Sturgeon, Brown Bear, Raven, Snake, Elk, Tortoise, Lizard, Loon, Turtle, Frog, Thunderbird (magical Native American creature), Butterfly, Hummingbird, Owl, Firefly, Rabbit, Salmon, Wolf, Whale, Mouse, Ant, Raccoon, Earthworm and Dolphin.

Whales, Dolphins, Salmon and Sturgeon can all be in the Medicine Wheel, it’s a magical dimension. Feel free to create an ocean, beside your Medicine Wheel if you want, I have them floating in the air.

Tell them, you’re the boss. They will all giggle at you. Then you have got it. It’s up to you, it has always been up to you. This is how to love yourself and if you wish attract a True Love. If you are having a problem, you’re worrying again. Stop it! Most people had a teddy bear when they were a small child. Go and befriend your Brown Bear (your ability to experience joy and pleasure). Or chase your Deer (your ability to take action) around for a bit. In your imagination, leap around in the air, or do a double back flip! Be silly.

If you want True Love, spend some time and play with your Wolf. Hug it. Ask it to be beside you, day and night. You will get a partner to be with you through life. Most people’s Wolves are covered in bandages and limping. Give your Wolf some hands-on healing. Imagine pale pink and gold mist entering the heart area. Cover the Wolf in gold and copper healing glitter. See your Wolf become healthy, strong and fluffy. Go with your Wolf to visit a mountain at night. Lay down to watch the night stars in the sky and make a wish on a shooting star. Wish for True Love. Be gentle with your Wolf, be gentle with yourself. If you want to, find a photograph of a Wolf and carry it around with you. This is called a totem. Use other photographs to help make a complete Medicine Wheel in your home or garden. You can also draw or paint a picture, make or buy a toy Wolf, or any other animal to represent the part of your soul that you wish to work with.

Please note your Power Animals should be the same sex as you. You can figure out how to tell a female coyote from a male one. Just kidding! You can just tell. Ask if you are unsure. Power Animals always have to tell you the truth. For example, if you are female, and you call your coyote and a male coyote arrives, please send it into the violet mist. This is an over-bearing father or ex-lover. Then ask for your female coyote to appear. She will be very happy, finally, as you got rid of the bully. Obviously, men need to release any female Power Animals in exactly the same way. This usually only happens with Coyotes (your emotional self) and Wolves (your romantic self. Nevertheless, you never know!

Since there are obviously more animals than the ones covered by Sun Bear’s Medicine Wheel, any animal in the world can be your Power Animal. There is no limit on how many Power Animals you have. I have a herd of Horses (work) and pods of Humpback and Killer Whales (experience) and a huge colourful Butterfly for telepathy and speaking with Great Spirit.

The first Power Animal I ever saw was a rather battered, but beautiful, Lioness. She turned up in a horrible state. She had many injuries. I gave her so much love. She now accompanies me whenever I call her. She is very big, about twice the size of a normal Lioness. The Lion families are the strongest spiritual protection on Planet Earth at this time. I personally, want everyone to have a Lion or Lioness as a Creator Power Animal. Call it into your Medicine Wheel. It is your Ultimate Protection. I dare you to fun wrestle your Lion/Lioness. It’s a very interesting experience! The more time spent in the Medicine Wheel, the more time you are spending healing and loving yourself, Planet Earth, All Her Relations and ultimately this entire Universe. The time is now. Become the TRUE ELITE of this world.

Planet Earth is in a serious mood because, we the humans are in a serious mood, which means life on this planet will get serious. We do not want this. We need to lighten up fast. We need to cheer up. She wants us humans to cheer up. Remember, we are the co-creators!

Building a Medicine Wheel

At first, I really complicated this simple procedure. So, my advice is to know that. To make a Medicine Wheel, place five rocks or crystals in a circle while calling in the Spirit Keeper Power Animals in the following order. Start in the East, place a stone and call to Golden Eagle, in the South call Coyote, the West is for Grizzly Bear, and the North is for White Buffalo. Place the last stone in the Centre for Creator, this can represent any animal, that’s all there is to it, anyone can build and use a real Medicine Wheel.

This is Magic. Pure Magic. Pure Love. Pure Nature. They are all the same. The word magic has had some bad press. Magic, love or nature, these terms all represent the same energy. I will explain.

When you make a Medicine Wheel, either physically or in your imagination, you tap back into this immense ancient magical and sacred power. Connecting to this power is how you can heal your soul, find True Love for yourself and create a life worth living.

What is your imagination? I believe your imagination can be a vision you hold in your mind, to create what you desire. Your imagination is actually a sacred place to work on yourself. It is your personal magical dimension, where everything is possible. I also believe you can create a healing space and work on yourself by using a personal magical declaration, or an intention.

Some people are too mentally stressed to hold a vision long enough for working on themselves. The solution is to build a real Medicine Wheel, and work with Golden Eagle to heal your mental stress. Then you will be able to hold a vision and work with your imagination. Close your eyes now, and imagine opening your front door. Yes, it’s easy. Now imagine a beautiful Grizzly Bear standing right beside you, there it is. See, it’s easy. It’s called using your imagination. Do not complicate this, just practice.

A Medicine Wheel can be an access point to communicate with the Wisdom of the Soul. A place to connect to Power Animals, Mountains, Oceans, Trees, Plants, Herbs and Crystals. The simple Medicine Wheel needs activating. Which means you will need at least five small or large stones, crystals, or anything you wish to use from nature. If you really want your life back on track, spend time making a full 36 stone Medicine Wheel. Speak to every part of your soul, all 36 Power Animals. Introduce yourself to all of them. Great healing will occur. Work either in your imagination or you can physically construct a Medicine Wheel in your home or garden.

Gather the stones in a sacred manner, asking permission before taking any thing from nature. Make sure that any disturbance of plant and animal life, including insect life, is avoided as far as possible. The creation of the sacred Medicine Wheel is a conscious process.

Find a clear area to build your Medicine Wheel. Light some White Sage or Sweet Grass, any incense is fine, to purify and to bless the area and the items from nature you will be using. Ask the Spirit of Sage to bless the Medicine Wheel and items. If you have no sage, just use your imagination to see the Medicine Wheel items and space being purified with lots of imaginary sage smoke. Make a small offering to the Medicine Wheel. It can be any food you like, a strand of your hair or sea salt, traditionally cornmeal or tobacco would be used. Just place the offering on the Creator position. You may place an offering on a single position or on every position. Once built, always enter your medicine wheel from the South, the one and only rule of the Medicine wheel. Sit anywhere inside and speak out your declaration. This is your guarantee, to be able to heal the entire journey of the soul, to use magic and love again, to find True Love for yourself.

When you build a permanent Medicine Wheel in your home or garden, it becomes a very peaceful healing place to sit in or by. Anyone can sit in your Medicine Wheel. It is a statement of honour to Planet Earth and All Her Relations, which also means all of humanity. It automatically sends healing to rebalance everything in this Universe.

You can read, speak or visualize the following as an example of how to activate either a Medicine Wheel in your imagination, or a real Medicine Wheel. Your Power Animal is the same sex as you. So, obviously if you’re a man say “He”. Face the direction as you call to each Power Animal:

In the East, I call in my Golden Eagle. She/he is here to give (state your complete name) powerful healing, to cleanse my mental body. We are now and forever connected by love and respect. I thank Golden Eagle.

In the South, I call in my Coyote. She/he is here to give (state your complete name) powerful healing, to cleanse my emotional body. We are now and forever connected by love and respect. I thank Coyote.

In the West, I call in my Grizzly Bear. She/he is here to give (state your complete name) powerful healing, to cleanse my spiritual body. We are now and forever connected by love and respect. I thank Grizzly Bear.

In the North, I call in my White Buffalo. She/he is here to give (state your complete name) powerful healing, to cleanse my physical body. We are now and forever connected by love and respect. I thank White Buffalo.

In the Centre, I call in Great Spirit, my Creator Power Animal. She/he is here to give (state your complete name) powerful healing, to cleanse my soul. We are now and forever connected by love and respect. I thank Great Spirit, my Creator Power Animal.

A small Medicine Wheel [see above] is just as powerful. Think about making a Medicine Wheel for every household member. It may serve as a ‘time out’ space for children. Ask them to go and talk to their Power Animals to receive healing and peace – much nicer for your children than the famous naughty step policy. Sit there for seven minutes because you’re seven! What is that programming all about? If you want your children to behave, correct your own behaviour.

A Community Assembly (joining people together)

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 16:28:55 GMT

A community assembly network connects us and makes us stronger

Community Assemblies provide the means for people to come together in their communities to support each other and create a foundation for helping local people, providing local services and sharing knowledge in their own community and with other Community Assemblies across the British Isles.

What is a Community Assembly?

A Community Assembly starts with a group of people who can see that the time has come to do things for themselves and who reject the current trajectory of globalist ideals that continue to inflict harm on our everyday lives and future prospects. The number of people realising that we are being led ever closer towards a cliff edge is growing daily and our collective frequencies are rising which is wonderful news.

This is why the idea of Community Assemblies is steadily growing by the day. It is important to note that there are no prerequisites for creating and running a Community Assembly. We are all learning and doing the best we can. Telling people what to do or how to go about it is NOT the remit of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI). Far from it, we are here to join people together, share information, provide essential services and build a strong network that will encourage others to start taking action.

What is the purpose of a Community Assembly?

The meaning and purpose behind each Community Assembly is defined by its own members based on priorities and circumstances unique to their own particular area. There are no preconceived templates or standard ways of doing things which is why sharing is so important. It means we can learn from each other, stop 'reinventing the wheel' and pass on information that might be helpful to others.

What is involved in setting up a Community Assembly?

Every group is different and many start small. Generally with a few passionate people who have decided 'enough is enough' and want to start doing things for themselves. These are the pioneers, or Founding Facilitators and Special Advisors , who become members of CABI so that they can 'plug into' the knowledge-flow with a direct point of contact to discuss ideas and feed information back into the network.

Each Community Assembly does things in their own way. This might involve meeting up to progress ideas, talking to people in the community about possibilities and building a communication network. Some of our Community Assembly members are well established with hundreds of members; some have started with one member joining CABI before going out to find fellow Founding Facilitators who will work with them to set up their own assembly.

Anyone can join CABI, and in all cases, our website has proved to be invaluable for people to find out what is involved and in encouraging others to join us.

Who are Founding Facilitators and Special Advisors?

There are no special duties or requirements for Founding Facilitators or Special Advisors with regards to being a member of CABI - except for keeping their local Community Assembly members informed, feeding back helpful information and making use of the services we provide. We are keen for all our members to spread the word and encourage others to join us. This helps us to grow our network organically (without advertising) and steadily improve the services we provide.

It does take a special kind of person to make a commitment to serve their community. Especially at this early stage when people are reluctant to realise that 'the powers that be' are no longer looking after us. It is 'we the people' who have to rally together in our communities to build our own future according to shared values, and for the benefit of younger generations, our animal kingdom, wildlife and beautiful planet Earth.

Special Advisors are exceptional people who work in their own communities and take on the extra responsibilty of helping other Community Assemblies to form and grow. I think it would be fair to say that if we could all aspire to take on the role of facilitators and advisors - or offer our help to them - we would quickly see things take shape. If any of these roles appeal to you in any way, please do get in touch .

What are the benefits of joining CABI?

'To establish a cooperative network of services and flow of knowledge for self-sufficient Community Assemblies and Community Assembly Hubs across the British Isles in support of their local and wider communities.'

Richard 'Major' Rowe, Member of the Community Assembly of the British Isles

Our thanks to Richard for designing a simple flier to give out to people with a QR Code leading back to our website. This is a great way to spread the word and encourage people to find out more about us. If you would like a copy of the flier in PDF format to print out and distribute in your local area, please contact us .

1) Joining forces

There are many good reasons to join CABI with all our enlisted Community Assemblies operating independently, doing things in their own way. Founding Facilitators and Special Advisors join CABI to receive weekly updates and information from across the network, and to ask questions and share knowledge that might be helpful.

Joining CABI in this way serves to make our network stronger and provides a life-line for anyone living on their own or for those who are not connected to a Community Assembly in their local area.

2) Access to knowledge

The CABI website has been designed as a central resource for well-researched and member-approved knowledge around the different aspects of running a Community Assembly. We are always open to questions and suggestions for improvement and the various services we are in the process of building have been designed specifically to benefit our members and their local communities.

The website also provides a central platform to promote the CABI directories for Community Assemblies , local traders , accredited Natural Healers (MCHI, LCHI) and recommended Health Suppliers . We are building on these resources every day, collecting donations for special projects, publishing helpful information on our blog and sending out updates to all our members.

3) Communicating with each other

There are 3 types of CABI membership - one for Community Assemblies in the British Isles (Founding Facilitators and Special Advisors), one for individual members who may or may not be part of a Community Assembly and one for National Groups whereby the group's leader becomes a member of CABI.

Individual members receive a 'boots on the ground' updates and information from Community Assembly Facilitator, Community Peace Constable and Community Health Initiative member (MCHI), John Gilbert, every two weeks and when required.

Founding Factilitators and Special Advisors receive an additional update from John every two weeks with key information regarding the wider picture of events here and overseas, specific information relating to forming and growing a Community Assembly and answers to specific queries. Being able to reach out to John at any time is invaluable for independent support and for help in addressing situations and issues as they arise.

4) Reaching out for help

A central purpose for CABI is to provide a point of contact for those in need of support which is particularly important for anyone without their own Community Assembly. It is wonderful to see more members stepping forward to work with John in terms of talking to people, addressing specific lawful issues and on the healing side of things.

John and some of our dedicated Community Light Brigade members are able to clear the Pineal Gland in a powerful healing experience that removes any blockages and boosts frequencies to an enormous extent. Our thanks to everyone who is actively helping us on behalf of all our members.

The best way to get started

I hope this post has helped to clarify the meaning and purpose of CABI, especially in the sense that we are here only to connect Community Assemblies and community members as part of a growing network of like-minded people. This enables us to provide helpful information, knowledge and essential services on a member-led basis taking into account the available time and resources of our small voluntary team.

The best place to start is to become a member of CABI and take it from there! We welcome independent members, solo community pioneers, groups of Founding Facilitators or Special Advisors wanting to start your own assembly, and already-estabished Community Assembly facilitators who can see the benefit of being part of something they can depend on and which makes us stronger together.

The more consistent we are, the more credible we are and the stronger we become. We are here for the duration and beyond so the only thing left to say is: over to you!

Chapter 7 - Healing My Past Lives

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

First Edition: by Samantha Britt Beaumont in 2008

Before I explain and impart my knowledge of Medicine Wheels I wish to share two of my past lives, as they are very unusual. Both have relevance to what I believe we are about to experience, yet again. Both past life experiences were accessed via my Medicine Wheel at the same time, a few months before my soul exchange. As I am practiced at past lives, I can switch and be in the body of the former self.

Earth Changes

In my imagination, I start to walk in nature to my special place in the forest to my Medicine Wheel. In my mind, I asked if I can enter my sacred Medicine Wheel to communicate with my Power Animals and access a past life. I received a strong, “Yes!” in my head.

As I waited, I saw a beautiful elegant man arrive. He was about 7 feet tall and dressed in a flowing cream robe. He had an air of beauty and grace. He asked me to accompany him, and to travel back in time.

In my imagination, I started to fly down a time line, holding hands with my former self. We magically travelled back thousands and thousands of years. When I felt like stopping, a door appeared, which I opened and we both entered into a different time.

Immediately, we see a set of buildings ahead of us, and we started to walk together down the main passage between the sandy-coloured buildings. It was a warm and pleasant climate. Everywhere we looked, people were talking in small groups. The thing that struck me the most was the air of calmness and happiness. Everyone looked well-dressed in immaculate cream-coloured clothes. Most of the conversations included much laughter and giggling. It was a happy place.

As I walked towards the last building, I noticed a young woman coming to meet us. I knew she was my wife, and we were very happy. When I entered my house, I remembered that we had many identical sons ( cloning? ).

I was wondering if that place was actually Planet Earth. I think not. Everyone was so happy! Ha ha! I didn’t ask at the time.

I asked in my imagination to go forward in time to see when something significant happened. The next thing I know, I am in bed (as the 7 foot man) with my wife, and I am having a horrible dream about earthquakes and flooding. I see many people lying around not moving. I wake up and tell my wife, who refuses to understand my concerns.

I discover that this society creates everything by thoughts, including the weather and the crops. They are at their manifestation peak, all are being catered to, and there is no such thing as a problem, sadness, pain or suffering.

Over the following months, I experienced these visions more and more, and my whole being started to change. I even looked different, because every night I lived through the horror of a great danger coming to my family and people. What nightly terror!

My wife could not understand and asked me to stop telling her about the dreams. I went to the other men of the village and they all sent me love, but shook their heads. My reputation started to slide, and after what seemed like a long time, I was considered an oddity and rejected by my society. I started to experience great sadness, as I know that life was going to change but no one would listen. I decided to go into nature; I talked to the trees and they told me something big was going to happen, the birds and all the animals told me that this was so. They were moving to higher ground, all around me, and I knew the animals were leaving. I told the children to bring their families, to come to the caves, if the ground started to move. I headed to the caves to wait for the others.

I waited for days, and then I felt a shimmering in my body. I looked down. I noticed that I had begun to dissolve my physical body, and I became invisible. But, I was still standing in the cave. A massive noise started in the distance. I walked to the cave entrance and I saw small groups of women and children running quickly towards the caves, they ran straight past me (still invisible), and the noise and the earthquakes started to shake the entire planet. For three days and nights the noise continued, but we were all safe in the cave. On the third day I started to become visible right in front of everyone. My sons had made it to the safety of the cave, but my wife was never seen again. I was extremely upset and distressed with myself, because I felt I could have done more to save the men of the village.

I had seen enough and exited this past life. I journeyed back down the time line and re-entered my Medicine Wheel. This poor man’s loss was so great. Yet he had saved lives and life did go on, even though it had changed the climate and landscape dramatically.

Next, I heard my inner voice telling me that I had always chosen to reincarnate at times of great change and my mission, should I wish to remember it, is to go and clear my past life in Atlantis too.

Atlantis

Well, in my head I thought, “Atlantis, yuck!”

At that stage of my life, I can honestly say, I had neverread anything about Atlantis. If I heard the word, Atlantis, I thought it was a load of rubbish. I did not want to talk about it! That should have been a big clue! I was still in my Medicine Wheel and I decided to follow the advice to access my past life in Atlantis. I waited, and then I noticed this young woman with long reddish brown hair and a really cheeky look on her face. As she got nearer, I noticed she looked exactly as I look in this life. She ran up to the Medicine Wheel and started dancing for joy. What was going on?

I was asked to journey down the time line to the time of Atlantis and when it felt right, I stopped and walked through the door. I immediately became the person I was, my former self. I was being held by two strange looking men, my hands were tied behind my back and I was a prisoner. I was really struggling with these men because I wanted to really annoy them. I did not feel scared at all, I was elated.

People had listened, was all I could think about. As I was about to be killed, I did not care. The exodus was already happening. The people were fleeing to the mountains and the caves and would survive the coming disaster.

You see, the race of beings that were in control in Atlantis had changed the balance in nature and the repercussions were huge. I had listened telepathically while being invisible at the secret meetings and had learned of their truly evil plans for the human race. I stood right in front of them, and they did not even know. They were so stupid!

The psychics were telling people the truth that the experiments had gone too far. They were dishonouring creation and a massive disastrous flood would cover Atlantis and most of the globe. Planet Earth

(She is the boss, you know), has had enough and was going to clean this mess off Her surface in one almighty jump.

I had been caught and sentenced to physical death, and my soul would be put out of action, permanently, for supposedly spreading lies and treachery. But I knew they wouldn’t manage to get it right, they were so stupid! I was taken to a room with a very big crystal overhead, which they had commandeered, from the good Atlanteans!

All the crystals were inverted, they had been changed. I was bound to a large table. They used another crystal to slice up my body, much like cutting slices of ham. As it was done with a crystal, most of my soul was somehow captured. It was then stored within a small clay vase, and sealed with an incantation, not the good sort.

I was part of a group dedicated to stopping the bad guys. We nearly all got captured. I was one of the last to be found, as I could make myself completely invisible. I will definitely ask for that invisibilitiy skill back, it may come in very handy. I was so cheeky, I drove the evil power hungry beings completely nuts. I was very happy about that.

It had been previously agreed, in case of being captured, to give a small piece of hair (this carries some of your soul energy) to another member of our group who escaped. This guaranteed a safe passage out of this reality, when passing over to spirit. Hence, this was why I wasn’t concerned about being killed. I continued to have more future incarnations.

However, since most of my soul had been captured, I didn’t create many good lives. So, I saw my former Self die, it was a real mess, but the strange thing was, it felt fantastic. I asked why and was told that she was so happy to help rescue all the people of her tribe. She had remembered another life when she had only saved a handful. This time, the number would exceed 3,000. She was ecstatic, but she would not live to see this future. But she didn’t mind, because she knew she was more than her body. Also, most of her friends had been captured. She had helped by organising the humans to go to a safe place, to ensure the real human race survived, and that was all her soul contract required of her in this life. She knew she would come back, some time in the future.

Healing

I returned to the Medicine Wheel and saw this 7 foot man and this girl from Atlantis, who was my exact double, beaming with happiness. I looked first at this man, my former self, and I asked him into my Medicine Wheel to receive healing from me. And as he entered, a huge explosion of colourful light fell around us. I asked what I could do for the man. He asked to be healed of all the pain and suffering which he had experienced as a pioneer and a visionary, as all the visions of destruction still played heavily in his mind. I used healing energy and love and filled him with light and peace. He then vanished into the violet healing mist.

The girl from Atlantis asked for healing of the physical body. She asked me to go and find the clay vase that holds part of her Original Divine Soul, as it was time to go and free her soul. This was very important to her. I agreed.

I called to Great Spirit and was shown a small cave under an icy ocean. I dived in, and swam to what looked like temple gates. I easily glided through the gates, and entered the ancient scrolls room. At the back, in a small side door that leads to a hidden cave, I found 40 vases with seals placed on them. Ancient black magic was used to capture the whole group. It was to hold the souls so they could not go back home to the Divine to pass over information and experiences. Its purpose was to prevent them from warning others about what was really happening to the humans.

I magically asked, in my imagination, if I can save all the trapped souls in the vases, and I am told that I can. It is part of my group soul contract, that whoever gets out first, they can free the rest. I was obviously the first one out. I journeyed back with these precious souls in vases and brought them into the Medicine Wheel. Together, we asked Great Spirit, Great Mystery, Planet Earth and All Her Relations to break the evil seals. A great fire bolt hit the vases and smashed them, releasing all those precious souls.

As this happens, 40 beautiful souls of all colours float up above the Medicine Wheel. They hover for a split second and smile at me, and then these beautiful beings suddenly depart, all at once, and fly off in all directions. This is classed as a mass soul retrieval and 39 people on Planet Earth have had their souls returned to them. I had done it, at last, my Original Divine Soul had been freed and healed.

I was informed this was my Original Divine Soul. Original Divine Soul means a whole soul. Not shattered and scattered, as most souls are at this time. At last, I could heal my entire soul. I sent her back to the Divine into the violet healing mist. I use violet healing mist, because it protects and heals the emotions. I thanked all the Power animals, Planet Earth and All Her Relations. I finished the past life. I now know this past life healing was deeply connected with my soul exchange, which happened soon after.

The girl from Atlantis (my former self ) was free to go to the Divine, to continue her soul’s journey, which was to be my next incarnation. That’s why she looked just like me. I am a bit slow, sometimes. At the time, I thought it was just another wacky life. I have seen many, some are not of this world. We are so much more than what we can actually comprehend at this time.

My spiritual and life experiences have taught me that it is best to first work on healing yourself. Trust me. It is all about how you treat yourself. This is what really matters. Are you kind, loving and forgiving? Go and heal the entire journey of your soul. This is a way to heal your soul. It is my healing way. It starts with compassion for yourself and everyone who is here. Because, you co-create this world, by your thoughts, feelings and actions.

We are the creators. Remember it is up to all of us. Connect with your soul’s inner intelligence, heal your soul and learn to access Universal Wisdom.

Create a life worth living.
Create a planet worth living on.
Create a universe worth living in.

Life is good for me. It can only get better in my imagina tion, as I know all things are possible. Do you?

To Have or To Be? by Erich Fromm

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 07:00:00 GMT

A new practice of life for conscientious souls in the art of 'being'

To Have or To Be? is an superb body of work by Erich Fromm [March 23 1900 – March 18 1980] who was a social philosopher exploring the interaction between psychology and society. By applying psychoanalytic principles to the remedy of cultural ills, Fromm believed, mankind could develop a psychologically, spiritually and emotionally balanced society.

What would you choose?

When we think of the title of the book in the context of a 'choice' and consider if we could have (or be) one or the other - what would we choose? If we think of 'having' in it's most extreme sense of hoarding, competing and exploiting (devoid of humility by definition) and 'being' in it's most joyful sense of sharing, learning and loving (devoid of arrogance by definition), then I know what most of us would choose.

I highly recommend To Have or To Be? which sets out Fromm's thesis that: 'two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant programme for socioeconomic change.'

A new social system

For this post, I wanted to share a fundamental premise for Fromm's 'brilliant programme for socioeconomic change' which requires a new function of society to encourage the emergence of a new human 'being' whose character exhibits certain qualities that align perfectly with our endeavour to 'be' our best selves in our activities, intentions and vision to live together in peace and harmony.

As Fromm says: 'we need to demonstrate that the suffering could be removed if the conditions for suffering were removed ... [prior to creating a] new practice of life [where] the new social system would be free of the suffering that the old system, of necessity, had to produce.'

I would suggest that the old system is removing itself the more we remove ourselves from, and the more we continue to build our new social system of 'being' whereby, as sovereign 'beings' volunatrily bound by Natural Law (and by definition), there will be no more suffering.

A new way of 'being'

And so, Fromm presents us with an excellent benchmark for 'being' (which he described as the qualities of 'The New Man'). These qualities represent the values we all aspire to live by. It is a long list that gives us good reason to celebrate the beauty of 'being our best selves.'

Willingness to give up all forms of having, in order to fully be.
Security, sense of identity, and confidence based on faith in what one is, on one's need for relatedness, interest, love, solidarity with the world around one, instead of on one's desire to have, to possess, to control the world, and thus become the slave of one's possession.
Acceptance of the fact that nobody and nothing outside oneslef gives meaning to life, but that this radical independence and no-thingness can become the condition for the fullest activity devoted to caring and sharing.
Being fully present where one is.
Joy that comes from giving and sharing, not from hoarding and exploiting,
Love and respect for life in all it's manifestations, in the knowledge that not things, power, all that is dead, but life and everything that pertains to its growth are sacred.
Trying to reduce greed, hate and illusions as much as one is capable.
Living without worshipping idols and without illusions, because one has reached a state that does not require illusions.
Developing one's capacity for love, together with one's capacity for critical, unsentimental thought.
Shedding one's narcissism and accepting the tragic limitations inherent in human existence.
Making the full growth of oneself and of one's fellow beings the supreme goal of living.
Knowing that to reach this goal, discipline and respect for reality are necessary.
Knowing, also, that no growth is healthy that does not occur in a structure, but knowing, too, the difference between structure as an attribute of life and 'order' as an attribute of no-life, the dead.
Developing one's imagination, not as an escape from intolerable circumstances but as the anticipation of real possibilities, as a means to do away with intolerable circumstances.
Not decieving others, but also not being decived by others; one may be called innocent, but not naive.
Knowing oneself, not only the self one knows, but also the self one does not know - even though one has a slumbering knowledge of what one does not know.
Knowing that evil and destructiveness are necessary consequences of failure to grow.
Knowing that only a few have reached perfection in all these qualities, but being without the ambition to 'reach the goal', in the knowledge that such ambition is only another form of greed, of having.
Happiness in the process of ever-growing aliveness, whatever the further point is that fate permits us to reach, for living as fully as one can is so satisfactory that the concern for what one might or might not attain has ittle chance to develop.
Sensing one's oneness with all life, hence giving up the aim of conquering Nature, subduing it, exploiting it, raping it, destroying it, but trying, rather, to understand and co-operate with Nature.

In conclusion

As Fromm says, the 'how' of becoming 'The New Man' would require another book by itself with the appropriate title, 'The Art of Being' - a subject that many of us can relate to very well.

I enjoy bringing this kind of work back to the fore. It's wonderful to think that for humanity's most brilliant and sincere thinkers and writers (especially those who have not been celebrated and are not with us today) their time is NOW.

Chapter 6 - How to Find True Love

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

First Edition: by Samantha Britt Beaumont in 2008
Second Edition: Copyright © 2009, by Samantha Britt Williams
All Rights Reserved
ISBN: 978-1-4452-0534-2

True Love is a pre-destine divine soul agreement that most of humanity seems to have forgotten. We need to remember this soul agreement to find our True Love. It is our divine right and our destiny to heal ourselves, Planet Earth and All Her Relations - which includes all of humanity.

We have all been suffering from spiritual amnesia, we have lost our way and need again to seek our True Love. This is your destiny, there is only one person you made a soul agreement with, to finally experience the life and love you were meant to have. I know a way, it is easy and fun, to help you to find your True Love. It is our divine right to exist in this world with our True Love. Do you want to find your True Love?

Remember that everything you think, say and do creates your world, so you need to start now, by creating the circumstances in your life that will guide you to your True Love. Life is for loving, life was not meant to be hard and full of pain, but we forgot that we are Magical Universal Human Beings who seek love. This is our destiny, to love, to be loved and to create a loving world. Take a good look around, have you seen any couples who are deeply in love, who respect and honour each other?

It’s a sad fact that most couples are not happy for long, the façade wears out, the arguments begin, the children are left to watch TV (their virtual nannies) and the sadness continues to consume all of this world. The war isn’t just in foreign lands full of oil, it’s in many households all across this world, where couples decide to blame their partners for their own miserable lives. No one is willing to take on full responsibility for how they are really feeling, they carry on creating and sending out this sadness and frustration.

Most people start and continue relationships for all the wrong reasons. These relationships usually cause more pain than love. It takes a certain amount of courage to face yourself and how you have really been feeling. To admit that you have made a series of countless mistakes, to realise that you have yet to meet and experience your one and only True Love.

The beauty of being truthful is that you are in a place of love for yourself and this is the beginning of truly loving yourself. My advice for people in relationships that are not True Love relationships, is to lovingly and truthfully end these relationships. Tell the other person you are giving them a gift of being able to find their True Love too.

It is important to tell the partner who you want to end the relationship with, because looking for your True Love while in a relationship is not advised as this is dishonest and what you do brings in more of the same, so your life will only get more dishonest.

You need to be in a good place to find your True Love so make sure you are single and free to find your True Love before you start.

Once you are single, you need to understand that in order to create, you must see and feel the end result without being to caught up in the details of how you got there. In this case it would be yourself with your True Love standing beside you and feeling totally in love and happy. This image, and feeling your inner knowing, is what you need to work on. That’s it, you need to create knowing that it is already done, by keeping the details open you are not limiting yourself and can create much more easily. The amount of time this takes is a small factor, you need to spend the time doing it, but do not spend time trying to figure out the details of how you will meet, it is not important. True Love is True Love, don’t let your preconceived ideas such as “I must meet my True Love through work, he must be tall, dark and handsome, he must have a high powered job”, that you learnt in this life, stop you from having and feeling eternal happiness. Your soul knows who your True Love is, you need to access your soul’s inner intelligence and ask your soul to communicate with and find your True Love.

You will find that special person and then, finally you can help create a life worth living to help all of humanity at this time. The more people that experience True Love the more truth and love is brought into this world. Planet Earth needs us to find our True Love, as this generates happy, healthy human beings, being in a True Love relationship heals your soul, which heals Planet Earth’s soul too.

I find that using your imagination and a Native American Medicine Wheel sets the stage for spending time sending love to yourself and your True Love. It is one way to prepare yourself and your True Love for your relationship. Why not spend 10 minutes a day visualising, or sitting in a real Medicine Wheel and calling to your Wolf to help you. In your imagination, invite your True Love and their Wolf into the medicine wheel, get the Wolves to play together. Doing this meditation daily is a great way to visualise your True Love and to be on the path to finding them. Also, remember that how you are feeling adds to your creation, finding your True Love is not serious or hard work, it is a loving and fun experience. Right? Why create a seriousness and a heaviness to the relationship before it has arrived?

As I have already mentioned, I use my imagination to create what I want to turn up in my life. If I want to be on TV I see myself on T.V. I don’t worry about “how” I am going to get on T.V. that part I leave to the unfolding beauty of life.

The reason I took so very long to actually find my True Love, was because when I was younger I didn’t actually understand that feeling upset that I didn’t have him was the best way to keep him away from me as I was creating this reality for myself. Yes, I admit it that when it came to relationships I did the poor me brigade, I searched my past lives for answers, but I never actually asked out right. “Can I have my True Love please? Silly me, I told you I can be a bit slow sometimes. It took me a while to realise it’s quite simple really. Just apply my creative techniques and then see, feel and create the end result - a relationship with my True Love.

When I did the Planet Earth reading in April 2008, she explained to me that she wanted the humans to find their true loves as this is what is missing in this world, so I started writing this book, and I started to get my life in order and begin the wonderful, and happily rather short, journey to finding and meeting my True Love.

Here is the story of how I created the right circumstances to call to my True Love. It is a personal story as you will see, but the most important part is to show you what I did, and how I used my imagination to find him, so you can use this way of creating to receive the ultimate gift of True Love. I ask that you go with the flow, if you want True Love then read on.

Influence by Robert B Cialdini

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 20:51:11 GMT

How six universal principles of persuation can be used against us

The majority of influencing tactics fall within six basic categories governed by fundamental psychological principles that direct human behaviour. In his beautifully written book, Influence, Robert Cialdini reveals these tactics and shows us how unscrupulous 'compliance practitioners' prey on our innate good nature to produce a 'yes' by making us believe they have our best interests at heart.

NOTE: This is a long read for those with an interest in this kind of thing. Otherwise, please skip to the 'takaways' with helpful ways to recognise influence triggers and how to deal with skilled persuaders.

I first read this book in 1994 and bought the revised edition in 2007 to update my library. It is as relevant today as ever before, perhaps even more so in terms of the global onslaught of persuasive tactics we have been subject to in recent years.

This is an important book because it makes us aware of some of the clever ways we can be hoodwinked or manipulated to agree to things we don't really want to agree to, or to invest in. Things which may turn out to be spurious, inappropriate, not good for us or simply 'too good to be true.'

This is where we need to understand that professional 'compliance practitioners' have much more than a vague and amateurish understanding of how the powers of persuasion work compared to the rest of us. In this day and age, it is the highly skilled marketers, orators and authority-type figures we need to be most cautious of and this book will help you to identify some of the tricks they use to make us comply.

It is not to be assumed that all 'compliance practitioners' have dishonourable intentions. They are not the only ones using their skills of persuasion to get their way. We all employ persuasion tactics and fall victim to them in our interactions with family members, friends, loved ones, neighbours and offspring. The point is that our intentions are perhaps without exception honourable and considerate, and do not come with an ulterior or secret motive.

This is why it is helpful for us to gain a better understanding of the natural psychological tendencies that affect our behaviours from an individual and collective (crowd) perspective. It means we can better protect ourselves from automatic impulses and develop our own persuasive skills to help each other in a positive way. We can then understand how best to use our benign skills of influence to befriend like-minded people, keep the peace and care for each other in our local communities.

Introduction

The book starts with an introduction to a body of work that started with a question: 'What are the factors that cause one person to say 'yes' to another person?' In his role as an experimental social psychologist, Robert's research begins with the 'psychology of complicance' which led to the discovery of six principles of persuasion. This work is supported by experiments with college students and by closely observing the tactics of 'compliance professionals' who use fundamental principles of psychology to develop their 'weapons of influence.'

Weapons of influence

In the first chapter, Robert, who describes himself as ' an easy mark for the pitches of peddlers and compliance practitioners ' explains how vulnerable we are when it comes to reacting to skilful persuasion. Throughout his research, he was astonished to discover just how common this problem is for other people as well. In turns out that most of us behave in a mechanical, tape-activated way to triggers which set off a pattern of behaviour he calls 'click and whirr' whereby we do things automatically as individuals or as part of a crowd.

There are three commonalties of 'weapons of influence' that we need to be aware of:

Certain triggers can be used to activate a nearly mechanical process of behaviour.
Persuasion tactics are a powerful tool for those who know how to use them against us.
As amateurs or 'consumers' , we underestimate how effective such persuasion tactics are.

The six principles are examined for their ability to produce a distinct kind of automatic, mindless compliance or 'cick and whirr' from people. That is, a willingness to say 'yes' without thinking. Here are four of the six principles in some detail (with takeaways) and short summaries of the remaining two at the end.

1) Reciprocation

The Rule of Reciprocation says that we should try to repay, in kind, what another person has provided for us.

If someone helps us out of their own volition, we feel obliged to do something in return. This is a wonderful thing in many ways. Even though it is a joy to help people and not expect anything in return, it makes your heart sing when you receive a heart-felt 'thank you' in a word, a card or a small gift. Reciprocating in this way strengthens relationships where each party feels happy to give and to receive as appropriate in the moment without any other requirements or expectations.

The problem is that this innate kindness can easily be manipulated by tricksters who give us 'free stuff' with the hidden objective of making us feel obligated to buy something that we may not need, want or desire in return. It reminds me of the warning: 'Nothing is ever free' and you have to hand it to the marketers, they are really good at giving stuff away as an introduction or taster to a hierarchy of increasingly expensive products or services that often turn out to be a complete waste of money.

Takaway 1:

It is suggested that if we find ourselves in the situation where we realise (after much attention) that the primary motive is to make us feel obliged to make a substantial unwanted investment, we should merely define whatever it is we have received up to that moment in time. This enacts the 'mental act of redefinition' where we list all that has been given as 'sales or other devices' (remembering that they were never intended as gifts in the first place). This frees us to respectfully decline without feeling guilty about it.

2) Commitment and Consistency

The Rule of Consistency 'lies deep with us, directing our actions with quiet power [as it] is quite simply our nearly obsessive desire to be (and to appear) consistent with what we have already done.

It is true that in many circumstances consistency is valued and adaptive. It is an attribute normally associated with personal and intellectual strength based on logic, rationality, stability and honesty. Good personal commitment and concistency is highly valued as it provides us with a reasonable orientation to the world and shows that we can be depended upon.

With consistency being defined in this way, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking ' that's it' and settling into a comfort zone that makes us impervious to change. Resorting to this kind of 'stubborn consistency' means we fail to identify incoming factual information that we need to weigh up in order to make informed decisions. This fails to serve us in a beneficial way and can quickly work against us.

This is where 'automatic consistency' acts as a shield against thought and it's a potential gold mine for exploiters who structure their interactions with us ' so that our own need to be consistent will lead directly to their benefit.' A good example of this occurs at Christmas when a toy company promotes an expensive toy that become the most popular and expensive 'must have' gift for children in a particular age group. They then make sure the product is 'sold out' so that alternative toys are bought for Christmas day and customers come back to buy the expensive toy when it comes into stock in January - thus doubling their spend.

Takeaway:

The key here is to make a commitment to actively keep up with what is going on with questions, research and inner awareness. This takes time and effort but it is important to factor it into our daily lives so that we are open to new ideas and are prepared to make adjustments or changes that will be of benefit.

3) Social Proof

The Rule of Social Proof states that one means we use to determine what is correct is to find out what other people think is correct. The actions of those around us are important in helping us to define an answer.

A simple example is the use of 'canned laughter' by television executives as this has been shown to make an audience laugh longer and more often (especially at poor jokes). Even though we know full well that the hilarity is irrelevant to the humourous quality of the joke, and that it was made artificially by a technician, it works on us because, deep down, we believe that we will make fewer mistakes by acting in accord with social evidence rather than contrary to it.

A rather bizarre behaviour related to Social Proof is one where people don't do anything in a certain situation because they think everyone (or someone else) must be doing it (or be about to do it). This is called 'pluralistic ignorance' when entire groups of bystanders fail to aid victims in desperate need of help.

The principle of Social Proof says that 'the greater the number of people who find a idea correct, the more the idea will seem to be correct.' We can see how this has been used by globalists and governments these last few years and how dangerous it can be to 'follow the crowd'.

Takeaway:

The key to freeing ourselves from Social Proof is to learn how to assess situations for ourselves; when to say 'no' and when to stand up and take action. We need to be alert to those who tell us we should do things we don't want to do for 'everyone's benefit.' We also need to 'devictimise' ourselves by understanding that the reason people tend to fail to come forward in a crisis is because they are unsure of what to do rather than being unkind. This should give us the courage of our convictions where we have the confidence to do what we believe is right whether other people think it's right or not.

4) Authority

The Rule of Authority [despite being a misnomer when no one can have authority over another fellow human being according to Natural Law ] is another form of exploitation whereby influencers seek increasing power through the obedience of others. The reason we tend to comply [apart from being taught to 'respect' authority from a very early age] is that being told what to do provides us with a valuable shortcut for deciding how to act for ourselves.

This is where, in particular, teachers, employers, judges and government leaders have positions that speak of superior access to information and power, even if what they say makes no sense at all. If we think that obedience to authority is 'mostly rewarding', it is easy to slip into the convenience of 'automatic obedience' whereby the mere appearance of authority is enough of a trigger to make us 'click and whirr' into unthinking compliance.

Takeaway:

Before submitting to the influence of 'authority', Robert suggests we ask a simple question: 'How truthful can we expect the expert to be here?' It is important to remember that even the best formed 'authorities' may not present their information honestly to us. We need to consider their trustworthiness in the situation and, most importantly, what they stand to gain from our compliance. This requires us to see through the influencing tactics of 'sincerity' and carry out whatever research is needed to get to the truth of the matter.

5) Liking

The Rule of Liking states that people generally prefer to say 'yes' to the requests of someone they know, trust or love without thinking too much about it. It is another trait that can leave us vulnerable to tricksters who make us believe they 'like us' or 'love us' so that we will comply to their demands. Robert likens this kind of person to a 'friendly theif' and no matter how much we may feel flattered or temporarily supported by this kind of person, we do well to nip the behaviour in the bud and send such trespassers on their way.

6) Scarcity

The Rule of Scarcity is drive by the fact that people seem to be more motivated by the thought of losing something than by the thought of gaining something of equal value. The influence of the scarcity principle often determines the worth of an item and is an important measure for collectors of rare items or owners of prized possessions. However, reliance on scarcity is widely used as a 'weapon of influence' by those who pray on our tendency to fear loss or the idea of 'missing out' in some way.

In conclusion

As in all these situations, it is up to us to consider what is real and true, and what is not. This takes a bit of effort and it means tuning into what our intuition is telling us. It's up to us to stand in our truth even when everyone around us is not. And it's up to us to learn and understand what might be best for us at any given moment in time.

Robert Cialdini writes this book with compassion and gentle humour, essentially focusing on our innate human goodness and how we need to protect ourselves from unscrupulous persuasions that use influence principles for nepharious purposes.

It made me smile when I noticed the quote in the header image above: 'For marketers, [this] is among the most important books written in the last 10 years. Journal of Marketing Research.' The marketers of this world are quite clearly up to the same old tricks but now, as the result of this research, you will know how to counter-dupe them - in the most polite, firm and respectful of ways, of course.

Nature's Energy

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:05:23 GMT

I was kindly asked by John to share my latest poem and video accompanied by beautiful piano music which I hope you find relaxing. This poem is inspired by the boundless energy of nature in all it's different forms. Reminding us of the power of nature gently pulsing through our veins and our connection to the natural world.

Nature's energy,

In a breath of fresh air,

In a stormcloud before the rain,

In a rumble of thunder far away.

Nature's energy,

In frequencies and tones,

In the soothing vibration,

Of atoms, cells and bones.

Nature's energy,

Gently pulsing through our veins,

Like mountain streams and ocean waves,

And rivers running free.

Nature's energy,

In earth, air, wind and fire,

In the sun, moon and stars,

And galaxies spinning round.

Nature energy,

In plants, trees, seeds and soil,

In the open sky and woodland floor,

On heathlands, plains and rocky tors.

Nature's energy,

In boundless rhythm, natural sounds,

In growing tall and dying down,

In cycles through the seasons.

Nature's energy,

In faeries, folklore born of old,

In snowflakes, frost and icy shards,

Sparkling in the snow.

Chapter 5 - My Soul Exchange

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

In 2004, at the end of July, I was 37. I wanted to move somewhere in Nature. I was interested in knowing
where I would be going. At my home in London, I have a sacred Medicine Wheel made of large rose quartz crystals (representing Wolf and True Love) which I sit in.

However, in my imagination, I see my wolf and my lioness sitting with me in a very large and beautiful bright green forest, with large rose bushes of every colour, forming a circle, beside a pale turquoise waterfall. There are many tiny fairies singing and dancing around my violet flamed sacred fire in the centre. There are colourful, magical birds of paradise sitting in the trees. I visualize being there. I am there. This is my sacred universe. Welcome!

I asked for my future self in 5 years time to come to my Medicine Wheel to talk to me. Immediately, I see her arrive. She is striding towards me, smiling. It is summertime in 2009. She is 42, slightly tanned and wearing khaki-coloured shirt and shorts, mountain boots and has much longer hair.

I suddenly felt the huge difference in our energy fields. This future ‘me’ was glowing. I remember thinking, wondering, “What is she so happy about?” She gave me the nicest hug that I have ever had. She said that I needed to do a complete soul exchange on myself. Excuse me? What is that?

She told me to stick with the Medicine Wheel and that I would write a book and find my True Love. Oh?

I asked her, “What is this book about?” She replied, “All the things you have never told a living soul about... Your spiritual secrets!”

I thought, “What is she talking about?” I did not have a clue, but I promised I would write my book. I would also invent my own past life healing therapy for the soul and help others find their True Love as this was my destiny. She left, really laughing at me. She seemed slightly different to me. I was quite curious. I knew something was going on, yet, I just could not quite put my finger on it. I had even stopped working in healing.

I certainly could not consider myself a trained Past Life Therapist. When I was 26, I approached a highly-recommended college for past life healing. I could already view anyone’s past lives, but I wanted to actually take people to experience their past lives. On the first day, the head teacher turned up to give all the new students an attunement to Eagle’s Breath. This gives one the ability to take one’s clients to different times, in effect, to time travel.

So, five minutes into the class and we were all asked, “Who is happy?” Well, my hand shot right up in the air. I am always happy. Big mistake! The head of college went bananas scolding me! I was happy, to me, life is in the moment, I had answered truthfully. I thought, do not start laughing at her. I just sat in a gold bubble and tried not to giggle. I never figured out why I was scolded.

All the other students took great offence on my behalf. They were complete strangers to me, but lovely. They were all saying they would quit the course. I told them that it was fine. I realized this woman could not teach me and I was not going to complete the course. I got the attunement to Eagle’s Breath that afternoon, paid the fee and never went back. A Shamanic friend was able to help me, because she had completed the training course the previous year. I just never received the other certificates.

My soul was my teacher, if I wanted to know something, I asked my soul’s inner intelligence. So, by the age of 37, i did not have a clue about what I was suppose to write about. I simply communicated with Planet Earth, very old trees, Power Animals and all of Nature.

No more messages received from someone’s long lost great grandmother in spirit. Those days were well and truly over. Thank goodness! Honestly, some people’s great grandmothers were so rude! They were always telling me off! I will explain why.

The Victorians were, and are a complete nightmare, because I did not conform to their idea of what women should wear. I liked wearing denim jeans. Sorry! Am I being rude about that ridiculous Victorian black dress you are wearing? No, I would not dream of it. I was like, “Get over yourself! Do you want to help your great granddaughter, or what?”

I use to smoke as well, and this seemed to really annoy them. I just laughed at them. Was I judging them? I now realise that they were all stuck in the holding bay of Fake Reincarnation. You see, before any reading, I would give the client’s spirit relatives/ancestors a quick invite to my place. I usually gave them at least three days notice.

Therefore, I always had information ready and waiting. No wonder so many relatives turned up. What I was actually doing was getting them out of the spiritual prison that they had constructed for themselves, via religion, emotional programming or materialism. The holding bay of Fake Reincarnation.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was actually offering free weekend mini breaks. How funny is that! No wonder they never wanted to leave my house.

I was very interested in what my future self had told me, but I was not really any wiser about what I should write in my book. I wanted to understand more about this soul therapy, but no more information was made available to me. I was only told I had to wait. Therefore, I waited, and then promptly forgot all about it.

What Have I Done Now?

Out of the blue, in late May of 2005, I started receiving strong images in my head of being removed from my house in a black body bag! My soul’s inner intelligence started asking me to do a complete soul exchange healing. What’s that? I was also told that it had to be that night!

Please realise, this is simultaneously happening while I make lunch for my 6 year old daughter, Lhasa. I asked in my head why I was being shown my own death. I tried to centre myself and to stop the images flooding in. As you can appreciate, when I get a message and vision that I am going to die, or anyone else for that matter, I take it very seriously. I wanted to stop seeing myself dead in a black body bag. In the end it unnerved me. Therefore I addressed and requested that whoever was putting these images in my head to stop it immediately. It was beginning to concern me. Therefore, I said telepathically, “You are beginning to scare me.”

I can honestly say I have not been scared by any spiritual being for many years. I understood all types of energy fields, good and evil - ‘evil’ is just ‘live’ spelt backwards, and backwards is how we need to categorize these entities, they are living in the wrong way. They have made challenging choices, and in the long run, they need your love. They are not to be judged by you or anyone. I just treat them all the same now. They are love, however misguided in their present state, they came from love and wish to return to love, they are just a little bit lost at the moment.

Over the years, whenever I viewed a past life for others, or myself, some ruffians would turn up, sometimes looking and smelling horrible. I just gave them love and time and whatever they felt they needed. We would have a chat, then, if necessary travel back in time. Seriously, they loved it. All this happens in my own imagination. Past or future time travelling is, for me, the best way to sort out a current 54

problem for my friends. It is always fascinating.

However, this vision of my body being carried out in a black body bag, like in some American movie, was constantly being projected into my head, and it really freaked me out. Then, I was being told by a very familiar and loving voice (my inner voice) that I have to leave tonight. I asked what that meant, ‘leave tonight’. The voice said, “See it as a complete soul healing session, and just make sure you release your whole soul.”

I was thinking to myself, “Right! I am being told to completely leave my body?” Now, that’s a new one!

I am then told that a 12th dimensional being (what is that?) will enter my body, as the 12th dimensional being was on assignment to experience the feelings of being human in the year 2005. This could only be achieved by dwelling inside a current human. The 12th dimensional being was on a fact-finding mission.

Oh! I think, well it probably serves me right as I had been asking for the Divine Truth to be revealed to me. I had recently done two past lives which were very unusual and all about Earth Changes (included in Chapter Seven) . Something was about to happen, I just didn’t know what!

I was starting to see visions that showed my house in London, collapsing all around me. My favourite tree in my local park kept showing me water above my head! This could be explained as an emotional crisis or a physical crisis. It kept telling me to leave London and leave the UK.

This is why I started to communicate with Planet Earth, I was curious to find out what was going to happen. I had been told long ago that many physical and climatic changes would dramatically change this beautiful planet. I was much older now. Remember, we are the creators of our lives. I was kind of demanding answers from the universe.

I was half laughing when it was mentioned that the 12th dimensional being would be able to keep my physical body alive while I left and passed to spirit. If this Being was going to keep my body alive, I asked, “Can I come back then, or is that it?”I heard a lot of laughter. I was serious, why was there laughter?

I may have thousands of hours of experience communicating with spiritual beings, but I tell you, all spirit beings stand a good 10 feet from me, just outside my sacred Medicine Wheel! I like my own space. Nothing is ever allowed to enter my Medicine Wheel unless invited, let alone enter my body. This was a serious challenge to my normal rules of spiritual engagement.

I was now directly communicating with the 12th dimensional being. It was waiting to enter my body. This was a lot to take in, literally! The being told me that I needed help with the complete soul exchange. I required 12th dimensional energy to create an energy field to allow my present soul to leave, so I can have my next incarnation or put another way my original divine soul.

Unbelievably, I had actually achieved the near impossible. I had worn out and given a lot of my soul energy away, a little at a time, to help heal people. I actually was not aware I had done that. I was told it was all in Divine Order. I had fully realised why I had manifested many problems to make sure I had to stop working as a healer and a teacher. I had made it my career to stand up in public and talk about invisible energy! The hardest job in the world, and I had found it. I mean, you couldn’t even see what I was talking about?

Yes, you could feel it, if I placed my hands near you or on your body, the heat was extremely noticeable. It was complete proof, to anyone who did not believe in healing energy. Some people said it felt like I was ironing them! Nevertheless, it was absolute and total agony for me. I was completely and utterly terrified of speaking in public. I could not stand being in the spotlight. I am an extremely shy person in physical reality.

I had learned how to do amazing healing, using my imagination. To cure all ills. I felt it was my personal responsibility to inform people that we can heal everything. What a big ego!

Somehow, I had also made it my career to spend many years lecturing to complete strangers from different national associations, like nursing, teaching and the Metropolitan Police, to get healing incorporated into their training schedules. Also, I had approached cancer and AIDS societies, along with many other associations for the terminally ill.

Every time someone rang to ask me to do a free lecture my outer voice said “Yes, of course. When?”, But my soul’s inner intelligence was shouting “No! No! No!”. If it had included “or you will die”, I might have listened.

When I was 25, I volunteered to set up the first complementary clinic for Alternative Health in a hospital in the United Kingdom. Within three months, I was recruiting voluntary staff. We were massaging and administering Shiatsu and Tibetan hands-on healing to everybody. I was even given a wing of the hospital to expand the clinic.

The only complaint from the hospital’s medical staff, doctors and surgeons was that everyone smelled of lavender (we used lavender oil) . I also massaged the Ward Matrons and all the nursing staff, radiologists, administrators, ambulance staff, the canteen staff, and the security guards. This made a very positive and powerful energetic difference to the entire hospital. I had student nurses thanking me for ‘making’ the matrons less stressed out. The wards were transformed to gentle, enjoyable places to work.

Everyone was attending my clinic, but personally, I wanted to get my hands on the sick children and babies! However, for insurance reasons, I was only allowed if I was invited by the parents. So I used to hang around the children’s intensive care unit after my shifts. I did eventually start healing the sick children. The hospital had a great vibe. People were walking around smiling. I had created heaven on Earth. It expanded to more therapists joining acupuncturists and reflexology therapists.

With this experience, starting at age 27, I consulted and lectured for many years with top management at the British Nursing Association of Great Britain. I spoke about including Tibetan hands-on healing techniques in basic nurse training. It was very seriously considered. However, management kept changing, and even though I lectured constantly for three years, it did not get the go ahead.

When I was 33, I trained and taught healing to the top occupational therapist who worked with the police teams that dealt with the worst possible of children crimes. Every single police officer was demanding more healing, as it was really helping them release all the horrible images and cases that they had to deal with. They were starting to feel human again.

One therapist had the police officers living in her office, as I taught her how to construct a powerful healing space, all of them had wanted to sit in her office to absorb the healing energy. They were getting on her nerves. She could not get in and out of her own office. They would line up outside her office before their shifts had even started. However, did the full program get the go ahead? Of course not!

Therefore, at 37, I approached the education authorities, and I trained 26 teachers at one local primary school to see if it would make a difference to the teachers and the student body. It did. However, I did not get the official permission to expand into other primary schools in the local area.

Through-out my long healing career, I could tell you about the HIV clients and the amazing little miracles, like completely reversing the AIDS virus many times. I had the doctors own actual medical proof, but no one wanted to know. I did this, healing the un-healable, many times, without collecting any money. I was collecting medical evidence.

I once helped a young 16 year old female hockey player heal her entire leg. Everyone was so serious, which makes the situation serious. She was scheduled for a complete amputation. A nurse who knew that I had excellent results with cancer invited me as a last resort. I turned up and found it funny! I asked, “Really? You want to be one legged? But you’re so pretty!” I made her laugh away her tumour. She shrunk the tumour within days. She kept her leg. She saw the funny side to what she was creating. Used this way, silliness and laughter heals everything.

This is how I healed the majority of my clients over the years. I would use imaginary blow torches to burn out cancer, or golden axes to cut off a complete breast, if they had breast cancer. I would throw the body part up to Great Spirit, and wait for a new one to come down. Then I would stick, sew or super glue it back on, in complete hysterics, in my imagination. Usually without the client realising, as they were being all serious. Not a good idea. If you think in a serious way you have serious problems to contend with. Remember what you think, feel and say creates all your life experiences. There is even a disease associated with sickle cell, which makes the skin colour lose its pigmentation. Black skin goes white. I had an African client who had white patches all over his chest. I use to give him hands-on healing. The skin reverted back permanently to the original colour. A bit like painting with numbers, we both found it fascinating. How amazing is that?

Did any doctors find it as amazing as my client and I? Of course not.

No, not one association was ever interested in what healing could be done. I contacted nearly all of them. They uniformly turned a blind eye to what I was doing. Rather strange.

Because I suffered terribly from stage fright, the only way I could manage to deliver my many free lectures to the different associations was to tell myself that it was not about what I was feeling and experiencing. Which was a feeling that I was terrified and just wanted to die. Interesting! I discovered very recently, I had been killed for speaking up against the known ways of doing things in a past life.

I did find it funny though. All my friends knew I hated speaking in public, yet I would find myself yet again, on some huge stage, like Brighton Civic Centre, with 300 faces staring straight at me, including people like David Icke (a true hero of mine) actually listening to me!

I realised I can manifest anything in my imagination. If I wanted to be in British Vogue, they would contact me, immediately. I could get into any magazine or newspaper I wanted. I just used my imagination and saw myself being interviewed in different editorials.

The Sunday Times, ‘ Style Magazine’, wrote an article, and nearly 3000 people actually took the time to ring me up. Now that was exhausting! Alternatively, on live TV, ‘This Morning’ television show with Richard Madely and Judy Finigan, with millions of people watching at one time. It was getting thoroughly ridiculous!

Did it change this world? Not really. I began to realise that this world is not to be healed. This rat race cannot be healed. You cannot heal the system, you have to encourage and inform the people running the system to heal themselves. The system needs to be changed dramatically. I really tried, but nope, it is not supposed to be. I realised that there is no work to be done. Just heal yourself, and listen to your soul’s inner intelligence, that’s your work.

I really should have listened to my soul’s inner intelligence when it came to my career, as it always knew that I was wasting my time. I think that is what my soul had to learn. I now understood that my soul had most definitely worn herself out. I had completed this soul’s contract, it was time to go. I had been waiting on some level. I had been preparing myself.

I am then informed, by the 12th dimensional being that I will be able to have my next incarnation after at least three days. My present soul needed time to pass over. I was actually told, “You have to go home to get all of your original divine soul.” This is known as a complete soul retrieval.

Okay, so Planet Earth is not my home? How interesting is that! Now that, folks, is proof we humans are alien to this planet, or at least that I am.

I was also told during the soul exchange that I would be given ancient Spiritual knowledge, that would lead to knowing the ultimate secrets of the future of the Human beings.

Well, I was not going to refuse this offer! Would you? It sounded rather exciting! I was also told that in my next incarnation, I would be extremely happy and very lucky. Personally, luck is self-made in my opinion. I had alway considered myself a happy and a lucky soul, so I was interested to know just how much happier one could actually get. I was lovingly told to leave my body and that it was for the best. I felt scared, as I knew I would be leaving this world and this reality.

What if anything went wrong? What if this 12th dimensional being changed its mind and left tomorrow? What

would happen to me? Would I be left somewhere floating in space?

I am just kidding. I really thought that this sounded just about crazy enough to work! It had Samantha stamped all over it!

Whatever happens to me, I always find it funny at some point in time. This is how one heals oneself. Laughter is a true expression of self-love. We can fill this world with laughter and love. We NEED to fill this world with laughter and love. We need to heal humanity and look after the resources of this beautiful all giving Planet Earth.

I was again informed by the 12th dimensional being, that I have a destiny to experience ultimate love, True Love. While I waited for my True Love, I got really bored, so I went to see if I could heal this world all by myself.

The problem with me, as with most people, is that I needed to learn to really listen to my soul’s inner intelligence when it came to myself. However, I was very good at selective hearing, far too busy helping everybody else. It was time to get rid of my very big ego. That was my final lesson. Heal thyself, silly!

I am fully aware that I am the creator of my Universe. Remember, I had called in my future self, and at age 42, I looked and felt extremely happy. Therefore, I knew this experience would end well for me. I had definitely invited a 12th dimensional being to come and assist me. Nevertheless, I had created this fascinating healing all by myself. I was going to heal myself, yet again. It just included my death and rebirth on an actual physical level. That was all! This time at age 38, it was arranged. Last time it happened spontaneously at age 19.

I got into my bed. I needed to lay down for this! I also knew that unless I believed 100 per cent and actually left my body, it would not happen. The soul exchange began, and a huge ball of energy ran up and down within my body three times. It was so strong, like a jet plane taking off, it actually made me laugh. Then, I was literally catapulted out through my stomach, of all places! Everything became very bright, like strong sunlight. I believe I went right through the sun! My entire being flew through deep space, passing many stars and planets. I was flying towards a huge beautiful blue planet, much like Planet Earth, from afar. Then, I fell asleep.

For the next few days, I could see two versions of reality. I was, somehow, half out there in the universe. I could see stars and planets for days, and it took time to get to my destination, my original home.

I travelled across the universe, and I went to learn about the ultimate goal of each human. It was explained to me that each one of us will, at some stage in our future, be given the opportunity to create our own entire Universe. Wow! It felt amazing, and it was a deeply beautiful spiritual experience, contemplating what sort of animals and planet life I wanted. I was allowed to choose. To be honest, it also felt very daunting. I asked, “Is it going to be just me, residing over a whole universe? Or can I have some friends?” The answer I got was,

“You can create and have whatever you like.” I thought, “What if I mess it all up?” I was told, “Shhh... Stop worrying.” I laughed!

It is a Shamanic practice to dwell in two worlds, but this was not for a mere two hour session. No, I stayed like this for nearly seven days. I could feel this 12th dimensional being’s energy field. It was rather bossy and reorganized my whole house! It was funny. It threw away most of my possessions. De-cluttering my life, now that was really going too far! It seemed very interested in me. I think I was considered a ‘model of a happy human being’.

I felt very peaceful and centred the entire time. Due to my training as a spirit communicator, I started asking questions and got amazing answers.

I was told the following, “We are all Creator Gods, nearly 7 billion of us, and most of the human race does not know this yet!” Just imagine all that enormous wasted creative potential! Running around worrying about paying heating bills! Really! How silly are we?

“I am God, you are God, if that is the word you

wish to use. I insult myself and you, if I think that

God is separate from me or better; this is false. The

secret to creating is to stop thinking or worrying

about all the terrible problems and events that

could, or might happen, and start creating, in

your imagination, what you wish to experience

and see created in this world. The human being

is an exquisite multi-dimensional magical being,

and needs to learn how to be magical again. The

magic is buried deep within the soul. Go back

to the soul. Go back to the Magic. Be the magic.

Use it to create a peaceful and loving world for

humanity. It is time for love. Go back to love.”

You see, at this moment in time, many humans are losing their ability to communicate with their own souls, and to find the magic within. The human being has been operating from approximately 10% of its full potential. We can reactivate the other 90%. We can be the magic within. I now understand the 12th dimensional being was my future self. We are all really 12th dimensional beings, stuck in the 3rd dimensional reality limited physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We must acknowledge and understand that we can choose to be magical 12th dimensional beings right now. We can choose to create our own universe, right here, right now. This is important. I chose to be a 12th dimensional being, a magical universal human being.

We can start by healing our souls’ crimes against others and become love again. We need to create a very powerful energetic and magical group of humans, to help the entire world change swiftly from being limited, to limitlessness. As a healer, I was able to prove repeatedly that anyone can be healed if one wants to be healed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, always.

Therefore, it is time for you to decide. What type of future do you want for yourself, your family, your friends, Planet Earth and All Her Relations? Both require lots of love. Create your future now! Heal yourself. Realize it is never too late to start to love yourself again. Are you willing to use your love and creativity to help heal this world?

Do not be asleep, not now. You will miss all the fun! It is time to wake up and to get ready for the party. Who will you be going with? Got anything better to do, than to heal your soul, find your True Love, and help heal this magnificent Planet Earth and All Her Relations?

I bet you don’t. Do you?

To get an invitation to the party all you need is to know, to forgive and to love who you have really been, and to know, to forgive and to love who you really are. It is that simple. Really!

So, late in the afternoon, of June 2nd, 2005, I felt a massive thud within my body. It felt like I had just jumped back in my body again. Yep, it felt just like the last time, at age 19. Note to self: I must remember not to give away or wear out this soul this time.

That was more than three years ago. Am I different? Well, my constant desire to fix everyone’s problems has vanished. Phew! I now work in my imagination on myself, Planet Earth and All Her Relations in the Medicine Wheel. I just create Medicine Wheels in as many places as possible all over this world.

Why do I make Medicine Wheels? Since I plan on staying here on this planet for quite some time, it is a powerful way to send magical love and healing to the immediate environment. You can do all this healing on your soul, just in your imagination. You may start to feel marvellous, but when you open your eyes and see you are standing in the middle of a huge toxic rubbish dump, how much fun is that?

Medicine Wheels are an expression of love for Planet Earth and All Her Relations. Together is best – Humanity and the natural world combined.

It has been a strange experience to stop helping people, as I always had. So when people rang up saying so and so has cancer, I thought, “How silly is she?” My ability to hide my sense of humour wasn’t there any more. I just could not stop laughing at people and their problems. I had to stop picking up the phone for a while. Who wants some lad laughing at what you have created, when one is terrified of dying of cancer!

I make them a mini Medicine Wheel now, and to date, they are all fine. I just do not get intensively involved anymore. I could not relate to their inner terror anymore. I realised I had none.

I have seen my future for myself. Do you know your future? Do you have one? Do you need to create a better one? Are you happy? What are you creating around you now? Do you know what you will be creating around you in say, 2 years’ time?

Planet Earth needs us to find our one and only True Love – to be in love, to create and to make love. By truly loving ourselves, we are able to love others. With this love we can create a loving world as it is being created by loving people. Simple. You have a duty of finding that special love for yourself. To release this special energy into this world. How else does love become part of life. We humans create all of this world. We are much more tolerant of everything and everyone, when we feel loved.

So, spread your love around. Link your soul with Planet Earth and All Her Relations. Learn to use a Medicine Wheel and communicate with the Power Animals and have fun in your imagination. It will help you to get to know your soul’s inner intelligence. It will tell you these beautiful words, “Hurry up, your True Love is waiting.”

I can show you how to use the Native American Medicine Wheel and the Power Animals to find your True Love. I promise it is really easy, even a child could do it. You can be an unconscious creator and carry on unwittingly supporting systems that ultimatly destroy the human soul or a conscious all-powerful creator who is able to create the life you desire and help others to create by your example and become love again.

You decide. I know what I would rather be. If you need answers to your questions, learn to seek the answers from within because you are love. Love is the only real energy that will create the solutions.

Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 16:26:10 GMT

All human beings are born with a spirit of wildness in their soul

Women Who Run With The Wolves is written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes PhD who is an award winning poet, Jungian Psychoanalyst and Cantadora (keeper of the old stories in the Latina tradition).

This is a beautiful and life-changing book that illustrates how all human beings are born gifted with a spirit of wildness in their soul.

In a beautiful flow of stories, poems and translations from her original literary works, Clarissa weaves the 'soulful and psychic essence of our integral instinctual nature' into the continuum of our lifetime journey through the natural world.

This work of art came into being over a long period of time. The book has 500 pages (one in five parts), all of which took 21 years to write. You can feel the richness of the knowledge, the depth of meaning, the breadth of experience, and the power of intuitive skills that orchestrate a flow of wisdom that you just want to sink in and become absorbed. On the first reading, I didn't stop to think, I just let the words flow as each story, each part of the life journey, touched me and stirred memories and experiences deep within my soul.

Women Who Run With The Wolves is a contemplative work of individuation which is 'a process of transformation whereby the personal and collective unconscious are brought into consciousness to be assimilated into the whole personality. ' This invites the reader to weigh their personal life against what is proposed within these pages, as a contribution to what is known and what is needed in a true psychology of a woman.

Set out in 16 stand alone sections with 19 beautiful stories tracing the journey of the soul at different stages of awakening, this is not a quick fix but a lifetime companion to be absorbed carefully and slowly with the same intent as it was written; to be studied, thought about, processed and reconciled with one's own understanding. The wisdom of lifetimes contained in this book can be returned to time and time again depending on where you are on your own journey (or to understand where someone else might be on theirs). This leads to greater enlightenment and the empowerment and confidence that comes from a sense of deeper knowing.

In conclusion, Clarissa states that 'one must have psychological and spiritual strength in order to go forward, and that this is true for women and men alike.' The practice of strengthening ourselves is essential to enable us to strive to be our true selves at every stage of our life journey. Focusing our attention and devotion to the true nature of 'soul' and using questioning insight to gain a clearer understanding of ourselves, is a gift we all possess which this book can help us to discover and enrich for ourselves.

And so, in the first chapter we learn that 'Singing over bones' is to say on the breath the truth of one's power and one's need. This is to breathe the soul over the things that are ailing us or in need of revival. This exquisitely powerful book achieves this in so many ways and it is no wonder it began a revolution and continues to transform the lives of millions of people around the world.

I highly recommend this book for its deep knowledge and powerful stories that take you through the journey of life as it relates to mind, body, spirit and soul. There is something here for everyone and it's perfect for dipping into or becoming fully absorbed in a celebration of wise and ancient stories grounded in truth.

Here are just a few of the wise and wonderful insights you will find throughout which are relevant to all souls striving to realise and evolve their gifts of wildness, intuition and creativity.

Shine a light

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.

Reach out locally

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Embrace the world with love

To take the world into one's arms and act towards it in a soul-filled and soul-strengthening manner is a powerful act of wildish spirit.

Stand up for what is right

Wolves and women are relational by nature, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. They are experienced in adapting to constantly changing circumstances. They are fiercely stalwart and brave.

Understand the predator

All creatures must learn that there exist predators. Without this knowing, a woman will be unable to negotiate safely within her own forest without being devoured. To understand the predator is to become a mature animal who is not vulnerable out of naivete, inexperience and foolishness.

Listen to your intuition

Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth.

Be creative

The most important thing is to hold on, hold out, for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life.

Let things go that serve no purpose

Wild women know instinctively when things must die and when things must live; they know how to walk away, they know how to stay.

Be your own true self

To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.

Go with the flow

The only trust required is to know that when there is one ending there will be a beginning.

Be thankful for all things good

Nothing makes the light, the wonder, the treasure stand out so well as darkness.

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

When I was 24 I started to train in complimentary therapies upon recommendation by a surgeon.

I had already helped my son Joseph, born two years earlier with a severe foot problem, from having to face years of operations. I wanted to help him through natural means, I studied anatomy and physiology and would treat him every four hours day after day. Due to my spiritual abilities I also decided to approach The London School of Psychic Studies to train in Basic Spiritual Healing. I wanted to go to a reputable college. While I was waiting to be interviewed, I was sitting in the waiting lounge with many other hopeful candidates.

Suddenly, a woman in her forties entered the room, she took one look at me, and went into a complete trance. She pointed at me and shouted rather loudly in front of everybody, “You will go and live as a tribe again, I see you in American Indian clothing. I see you with many horses. You are very spiritual. You are very blessed. You will survive. You have a destiny.”

Then she collapsed on the floor! Everyone was rushing around her. The college administrator was very embarrassed and kept apologising to me. However, I was too busy thinking about what the woman had just shouted at me. I did not quite know how to take it. I had never seen a trance medium before. Was she a teacher or fellow candidate for the healing class? Or just someone who was wandering around behaving like a complete lunatic? I thought, “What are you talking about American Indian clothing and living as a tribe again? Why am I very spiritual and blessed? I will survive... survive what?” And there was that word ‘destiny’ again!

Horses, yes, I could relate. However, I had not actually ridden a horse in about 10 years. The rest was news to me. I thought, “I have been away from spiritual energy for 5 years, and I cannot even go to an interview without something totally bizarre happening.” I just wanted to be a healer.

A few weeks later, I received a letter from the college. I was offered a place on a different course, that I had not even applied for, starting later in the year. Oh! Had everyone sitting in the waiting room that day, completely freaked out? I mean, she really shouted loudly. We all probably jumped out of our skins at the same time. She definitely made me jump. It did make me wonder. Had I unintentionally upset everyone, as it was only an introduction to Basic Healing? Alternatively, maybe, the woman who went into the trance didn’t want to, or couldn’t train, with me in the same room?

Were there 10 new students, wandering around muttering to each other, saying, “Why is she going to live like an American Indian? Is she moving to the USA? What is it that she is going to survive? Why is she so spiritual? Why has she got a destiny?”

I actually thought it was all very funny, I mean, I was just sitting there minding my own business. I promise! I did ask my soul’s inner intelligence what that was all about. I was told it was not something I needed to concern myself with until I was much older. I was told this planet was going to go through many physical changes, and I was destined to survive all of them. Therefore, I did not need to concern myself. I certainly was not going to move to the USA. Every time I tried to buy a ticket to New York, my soul’s inner intelligence would yell, “Don’t go there!” So, I didn’t.

Months later, the course I was attending at the London College of Healing was very enlightening for me. I was able to use my imagination as a healing and information gathering tool for others. I was able to access fellow students’ past lives, as well as my own. The teacher would check the information. I had a gift for past life therapy. I could still access future information as well, and started to read people’s futures again. I also trained as a spirit medium.

If you had gone through so much terror as a child, would you dedicate your life to working with spiritual beings, energy and healing? I never really had a choice. The spirits that first visited me were probably kind loving souls. However, I chose to believe they were negative at the time, so I had actually created a situation where negative beings or monsters could turn up and attack me.

Once I had completed my Spiritual Healing and mediumship training, I would have the occasional client who was experiencing negative psychic abuse. If they needed my help, I gave it. I was on a bit of a mission. I was no longer scared of any spiritual being, especially if connected to an other person. I had much bravery and love for others. I found out I could use my imagination to visualise my client’s house, and stand there laughing at the client’s negative beings, without fear. They would immediately leave my clients alone and never come back. I laughed them out of exstence! No fear, no energy to stay and cause more mayhem.

Laughter heals everything. Did you know? Laughter and humour break down fear. However, I was soon bored dealing with negative spirit beings. So, I started teaching clients all that I had observed.

Life is really just a question of remaining clear and in your own energy field. This converts any attack/upset into a meeting of minds. I ask spirit questions, I feel no fear, so they do not have any power over me. This is how spirit gets your power. Do not ever be afraid, be interested in them and keep your power.

You have the physical body, which means you have more power. You are in the physical dimension too, which means you are a creator as well – spirit are not. You have the amazing magical creative power. Negative spirit, and negative people for that matter, have only one way of getting power, and that is from you! They are negative. They do not know how to make positive energy, so they steal it from you! So don’t share your personal power with them or anyone else.

Show people by example, and they will learn to increase their own personal power when they decide to let in love and release fear. It is the same with spirit. Love is always the answer. In your imagination, you can do anything to change your fear to love. Remember, what you think, say and feel creates your future.

So, I decided to change my approach and to learn eastern preventative medicine, Zen Shiatsu and Tibetan energy healing. I wanted to treat my son and other people physically, naturally. When I trained in Zen Shiatsu, I was told by my soul’s inner intelligence that whatever is going on for someone can always be treated on a physical level, by going back to the organs. This helped me to approach healing in a new way.

I was bored with dealing with the problems. Let us find a way to not create the problems in the first place! This became my focus. What were people doing to themselves, by creating cancerous tumours and deadly diseases? What was that all about? I wanted to find out. I was very curious.

When it comes to the emotional aspect of the client, I knew that I did not really have time for people that cried and got themselves into an emotional state unnecessarily. This is attention seeking. I was not going to counsel people either. “Oh, it’s Tuesday, I have counselling at 1 o’clock. Now, what are all my problems again?” What you feel and speak, you recreate. So do not do counselling. Stop spreading and recreating more future misery for yourself.

Upset emotions are usually just automatic trained re sponses from childhood. You think this and are automatically thrown into a preconditioned response. You see a spider and run. Why? Because that is what your mother did. Fear is usually passed down through generations, repeatedly. What fears are you recreating that are not yours?

Release these fake fears. Find and heal your own fears. Yes, unhappy feelings count and are to be acknowledged and honoured, just not to be used to turn your life into a huge never ending emotional trauma or the ‘poor me brigade’.

Whatever has happened to make you sad, just know that if you do not understand why now, in time, you will figure it all out. It may end up the exact reverse somewhere down the line. Stop worrying, everything is always in Divine Order. It cannot be any other way. I know this, do you?

I also began to understand that, if all fears start in the mind as thoughts, then this is the place to stop all fears (thoughts). You have a choice. You can either learn how to control your fears (thoughts), or someone or something else will, like parents, lovers, money worries, an illness, addictions or even a spiritual crisis. The easy answer is to stop worrying, and start creating your future in your imagination. That is where you can actually create the future you deserve. It is paramount that you love yourself and release any fear held in your mind, so you have no irrational fear. This is very important.

However, a little bit of rational fear may be useful, like, “I do not think I should try to leap between two buildings, twenty feet apart, because I will fall and die.” You need this type of fear, it’s called ‘common sense’.

This is why, I believe, we have come here, probably up to 1000 times, and still, this planet, and our world, is a complete and utter mess. We (humans) are a complete and utter mess too! Take a good look around. Don’t you agree? We have lost our soul connection to our soul’s inner intelligence, which has become silent. We need to hear the voice within and listen to its advice. This is why I believe that past lives hold some of the answers you may be seeking.

When I started to investigate my past lives, from the age of 20, I was wondering why I was always killing people! You see, this whole planet is pre-designed to perpetuate war. We have created and participated in thousands of years of war. Civilization. Oh really? What a joke! We need to start over again, change society, and create one based on compassion and love. This I believe has already been achieved deep down in all our souls. We who are here on Planet Earth at this time have the ability to activate this inner self love and find True Love for our selves and find our True Love partners.

However, we must become healed individuals. Not creating war and conflict via subconscious pain that we still carry. We need healed individuals to co-create a better world. We are fully capable of healing ourselves and Planet Earth.

I discovered that some of my pastlives’ action’s had deeply traumatised my original divine soul’s energy field. I had done some pretty bad deeds. It helped me to understand that my childhood was a reflection of all the horror I had unwittingly committed. When I killed in the name of some silly king, I had a lot of blood on my hands, running around on some crusade in the name of God!

When I was much older, I found all this out through past life therapy. It was in my divine soul contract to discover and heal all my past lives. I agreed to love everybody, which means to love and honour every part of my being. To honour all of my soul’s past journey, the good, the bad and the ugly, come what may.

What had I done in my past lives to warrant such spiritual abuse in my childhood? I do actually know! In my imagination, in my Medicine Wheel, I lined up 15 of my worst past lives in a corridor, each with its own door. I opened each door, and peered in to look at the many horrendous scenes of devaluing people as a slave trader, a knight, a soldier, a priest, a chief or a dark arts assistant (oops!). Once when I was a very stupid ignorant farmer, I accidentally re-routed the river, which resulted in a whole village and their live stock dying of thirst. What a complete and utter idiot I had been!

Some doors, I would open slightly, and think, “Oh my God!”, And then I slammed them shut quickly in complete hysterics. I actually found it very funny. You see, I truly would never, in a million years, believe I had been so evil. Not ME! However, I had been. Really, what can one do? Guilt serves no man or woman. One can only forgive oneself. It is past, gone, finished. One cannot change the past.

Nevertheless, you can heal yourself and your soul’s memory of what you did, so you do not have to continue to punish yourself and this beautiful world, by unconsciously recreating what you hold in your soul, lifetime after lifetime. I, Samantha, would not dream of harming another soul in this life. Not even a mosquito!

All life is sacred. Life is to be revered and honoured. But I had done some pretty horrendous crimes against others in the past. I believe we have all done this. The present condition of Planet Earth is a reflection of our past life crimes against our fellow humans. The real state of Humanity! Therefore, I can assure you that I have done everything possibly wrong, at least once. Moreover, so have you!

All you have to do is to admit to all of these crimes against others and yourself, from all your past lives to the present self, and heal them. You can heal yourself and find True Love for yourself. Then, if you wish, have a True Love relationship. You will get True Love. That’s what you can experience if you face yourself, your past, present and future. I actually know a couple of ways. It depends on how much of a sense of humour you have. You get a choice. Both ways will make you laugh. Both ways heal your soul.

Ask yourself now:

“Do I want True Love?”

I bet you just heard a big “Yes!”

Go on admit it, it’s allowed.

It is your soul’s inner intelligence speaking.

It is time to find True Love.

It is time for True Love.

If you are creating a life with no love for yourself, do not worry. When you have healed the journey of your entire soul and forgiven yourself, you automatically create this gift. True Love will find you. Why? Because if you have True Love for yourself, you can attract True Love. Like attracts like.

A True Love may be walking around somewhere. Are you interested in finding him or her? Your True Love is most likely in a very attractive body – someone you will find totally irresistible. He or she is sitting somewhere in the world, maybe even reading this book! I bet you are a little bit interested. I can help you find True Love. I know a way, and it is simple. To find True Love, you first have to create True Love for yourself.

Did you know that every time you come down into a body and commit crimes against another, you are bound to make this right at some point? Therefore, we are all stuck here, repeatedly, never fully clearing our crimes against others. We have to take back our power! The power you seek dwells in your soul.

I believe that most people’s souls are preconditioned, automatically, for the holding bay of a Fake Reincarnation, without true awareness. I call this the ‘Fake Reincarnation Trap’. We have been consistently tricked into believing that we are free souls, coming and going in Divine Order with the Cosmos. I do not believe that when we die (pass to spirit), that we leave this place to journey into the Divine. I believe as we pass to spirit, that through religion and other types of emotional conditioning, materialism and or spiritual programming, we automatically go the holding bay of Fake Reincarnation, to be reborn here for another miserable life, again and again, stuck going round and round. Getting spiritually nowhere. Weakening our soul with every consecutive life. Feeling less loved and becoming less magical and creative.

Interestingly enough, when communicating with atheist humans in spirit and indigenous tribes, this very small section of humanity never ever visits the holding bay of the Fake Reincarnation Trap. They manage to move on, to evolve spiritually. They continue their Divine spiritual journey across the Cosmos.

Is this why indigenous tribes throughout the last five centuries have been systematically destroyed by the Fake Elite to ultimately weaken the human soul? Maybe we need to all become either atheist, and reject religion, or go and live as small magical indigenous tribes in harmony with Nature once again.

As an experienced medium, I assure you that most of our relatives are stuck in this trap, hoping to be saved by some so called spiritual leader or some other so called spiritual guru. I have spoken at great length with spirits held there. They do not wish to upset us, so we are not made aware of their terrible spiritual predicament.

They wait, promising themselves that they will be reborn again and have another chance to get out of here, to continue their real spiritual experience, but this world is preconditioned by religion, politics and materialism.

Then add to this, a world of wars and poverty with nearly 7 billion stressed out human beings, making it all too easy, once more, to lose their way. We have all been spiritually losing our way.

Do you really believe that we have lived 1000 lives each, journeyed to the Divine, learned from our mistakes, acquired wisdom and are able to create a better world? If so, then why is this place in such a diabolical mess? Something is definitely not right!

I know a way, using your imagination, to put this right. I know a way to love your present self and free all your past lives that may, or may not, be stuck in the holding bay of Fake Reincarnation. I know how you can heal your soul’s journey through time. How you can strengthen your soul, your power within, and discover the magic to create the life you desire.

My way is through loving and communing with the natural world. My way is fun and childlike. My way means loving the spirits of the Native American Power Animals who wish to guide and help us at this time, to help us connect back with our soul’s inner intelligence, to access universal wisdom, to help heal the enviroment and learn to love ourselves again.

Power Animals are linked to your soul and want to be your spiritual guides, so you can learn to heal your present self and former selves. It is time to work on healing yourself, as we have lost touch with our spiritual power and our orginial divine souls.

My soul’s inner intelligence told me to go back to the Power Animals, go back to the trees, go back to the elements, go back to the natural world. Go back to the Medicine Wheels. The human soul is losing its connection to nature. Let the Power Animals heal the humans. Let the trees heal the humans. Let the elements heal the humans. Let us surrender and be healed by nature, as it is love. We need to connect back to nature, to become natural again.

We need to heal our past lives’ crimes against others. I have only accessed 50 of my lives, but I have healed all of my past lives using my imagination in my Native American Medicine Wheel. In my imagination, I am an all-powerful creator. I manifest the life I desire by healing and loving my soul via my Power Animals. This is true power. This is True Love for self.

The reason for using a Medicine Wheel is because you can send love and healing to everything in this universe, while you work on healing your past, present and future lives. It is a win-win situation. It can represent everything in this universe. You can ask the most powerful force True Love, to assist you and heal our beautiful world. The Native American Medicine Wheel and the Power Animals will show you how to create a good future for yourself, Planet Earth and All Her Relations.

First, I want to continue my story and show you how to communicate with your future self, showing how to create a good future for all of us. This is where the real adventure can begin. When we learn to love ourselves and everybody else, we return to our true state of being.

We are love.

Remedies and Mother Tinctures from the animal, plant and mineral kingdom

We are delighted to welcome Penelope Harrington DSH, RSHom, MCHI, as a fully qualified Member of the Community Health Initiative . Penelope is a practising homeopath, dowser, singer, alchemist, mother, grandmother and Co-Founding Facilitator of the Community Health Initiative. Here is Penelope's story and her healing approach.

I started my career at the New College of Speech and Drama which was part of the Royal Academy of Music’s Drama Department. This went solo in Anna Pavlova’s House opposite Hampstead Heath before becoming part of Brent Education Authority. During this time, in the 60's, I gained a teaching diploma and taught in both junior and senior schools.

My journey with Homoeopathy, which is my passion, was born in 1975, when pregnant with my first child, I experienced a problem and didn’t want to take conventional medication for this. I was given a lotion by my GP for the itchy rash, and experienced suppression which I knew intuitively was not healing but driving the rash inwards. At that time, I was led by someone I knew towards homeopathy, which is a form of energy healing.

I was given my first homeopathic remedy by a wonderful man who was a self-taught homeopath. He was a Quaker and had been an organic farmer on the Brendon Hills in Somerset. It was as if a light was turned on! The grass was greener, colours seemed brighter and my life and consciousness expanded. I had energy, real energy, and felt my life being propelled forward as if being led by some guiding light. It gave me a sense of personal power that I had previously not experienced and I had the confidence to override others' doubts and warnings to give birth to my child at home. Home is where the heart is, and that is where I have given birth to all my four children, the last being twin sons in 1984. I trained with the National Childbirth Trust in a breathing technique called 'psychoprophylaxis' which worked well for me, and I used breathing and homeopathy to help with all my births at home.

When my daughters and sons were at school, I started my training as a homeopath. My practice, called Rays of Light, grew and I am still learning and growing. My method has developed over time, encompassing many different remedies or medicines as our environment becomes ever more complex and moves further away from Nature. “ We must return to the way of Nature ” is a quote from Jaqueline Hobbs, known as Oracle Girl, who I work with. I believe this is where we need to return. Nature is another passion of mine, as is healing. It is the frequency of pure love. We are part of nature and of this frequency too.

I have studied with the Indian homeopaths - Dr Rajan Sankeran, Dr Jayesh Shah, The Dr’s Joshi, Dr Dinesh Chauhan, Dr Sujit Chatterjee - and many others. I went to Goa in 2009 to study Structure, Sensitivity and Survival, encompassing the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms.

Subsequently I have attended many workshops led by homeopaths including Peter Tuminello, an Australian homeopath who has written a Materia Medica called Twelve Jewels, also Geoff Johnson known for the Radioactive Remedies, The Lanthanides, The Milk Remedies, Fungi, Birds, Insects, Snakes, The Sea Remedies, Remedies for Mother and Baby, and many others.

In 2016, I trained under Kim Kalina as Cease Therapist for remedies to help those on the Autistic Spectrum.

My practice Rays of Light has grown like a tapestry using all these beautiful healing remedies. It's like a weaving together of threads just as Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, practised, weaving her tapestry whilst waiting for her husband to return from his Voyages.

I am currently training with Rory Duff in Dowsing. I attend his Discussion Course which is preparation towards the Sacred Network Website and Aquarian Community Initiative to help share our growth and connection at solstices and sacred times, and to help each other in these times of polarity, uncertainty, confusion and change. As two epochs merge, boundaries become confused and identities change, and we raise our consciousness and frequency to become primordial electromagnetic multi-dimensional beings. As we evolve and reclaim our sovereignty and ourselves as sacred beings, I believe that we all need to help one another, be of service, take each others hands, open our hearts, and join with love as we step onto the Rainbow Bridge connecting us with another world.

I am also very interested in astrology and have completed a course with John Wadsworth from Glastonbury. I believe that everything is connected and part of the rich sacred tapestry called life.

Cancer Is Not A Disease To Fear

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:18:13 GMT

Treating the whole body and not the 'disease' or symptoms

Is Cancer as bad as Big Pharma wants us to believe?

Cancer is billed as a killer disease by Big Pharma and they tell their patients that to refuse the toxic drugs on offer will result in a slow and painful death. In other words, 'let’s fill the patient with fear so that they will not think critically.' According to Big Pharma, a cure for cancer is always 'just around the corner.' Now haven’t they have been selling us that line for fifty years or more? When you learn that one course of treatment for cancer can cost the health service £70,000 you will see that Big Pharma is in no big hurry.

Cancer is not a disease to fear so we all need to take a step back and look at the wood and not just the trees. Holistic medicine treats the whole body and not just the disease or symptoms.

Cancer passes through several different stages of development and the disease has a number of characteristic properties . Principal amongst these are uncontrolled cell growth, the production of collage digesting enzymes, immortality and the need for glucose. Cancer Research UK insists that glucose is necessary for cellular energy production when in fact cells run better on ketones without the by-products that glucose produces.

The collagen digesting enzymes produced by cancer cells allow the cancer to travel around the body without restriction and this is the reason why normal cells around the cancer are destroyed. Cancer cells are immortal and do not die in the way that other cells do and this is the reason why cell growth is uncontrolled.

To combat cancer you need to detoxify your body and get it into the best condition that you possibly can You do not feed it even more toxins such as those prescribed by Big Pharma.

Cancer is not a deadly disease and is mainly down to environmental poisons, poor diet and a poor exercise regimen so just knowing this can point you towards the best treatments. There have been many studies over the past fifty years that all point to multiple solutions for cancer and here are those that have been well researched.

Stemming uncontrolled growth (first characteristic)

Vitamin D - can inhibit cancer growth and can be combined with vitamin B12 and vitamin C. Prostate cancer has been reversed with just 4000 IU of vitamin D per day when caught within the primary stages.

Berberine - seems to suppress the growth of a wide variety of tumour cells and animal studies have shown that Berberine can suppress chemical-induced formation of cancer cells.

EGCG - a polyphenol compound of green tea inhibits the formation and proliferation of cancer cells and i important in preventing cell damage. In addition, other active plant substances which control the proliferation and development of cancer cells are resveratrol (but not from wine), quercetin, glucosinolates and curcumin.

Arginine, Selenium, Copper and Manganese - can suppress tumour growth in the early stages and restricts its spread.

Niacin (vitamin B3) - researchers conducted an animal study to test the effectiveness of niacin against cancer and found that niacin alone significantly slowed the spread of cancer.

Protecting cells against collagen digesting enzymes (second characteristic)

Vitamin C - protects cells against damage, strengthens the structure of tissue and clears cells which are damaged. It is key in the production of connective tissue. Humans are one of very few animals who cannot produce vitamin C and so we have to get all we need from our diet. A minimum amount would be around 1500 mg per day but, this would increase significantly if you drink alcohol, smoke or live in a large town or city. Increase this still further to at least 3000 mg per day to help fight cancer. Cancer patients tend to be depleted of vitamin C.

Lysine and Proline – are both vital factors in blocking collagen digesting enzymes and are important building blocks of stable connective tissue. They are also known for keeping your arteries clear.

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) - is a powerful antioxidant which helps protect the connective tissue against uncontrolled destruction.

Promoting the death of cancer cells (third characteristic)

CBD Oil - causes apoptosis or cell death in cancer cells. Cancer cells are immortal because apoptosis has been turned off. A broad spectrum CBD oil or CBD and THC is best.

Omega-3 - also causes apoptosis or cell death in cancer cells. The DHA can be likened to a cellular alarm system with its oxidation triggering programmed cell death.

Astragalus - the root not only increases the number of various white cells and in particular the´hunter' T-cells it also helps identify bacteria and other rogue cells. The University of Texas has shown that Astragalus seems to be an adaptogenic herb offering up bacteria and cancer cells to be seen by the bodies repair and clearing mechanism.

Ivermectin - Recent studies have also found that Ivermectin could promote the death of tumour cells by regulating the tumours microenvironment.

Curcumin - Inhibits the proliferation of tumour cells, inhibits the transformation of cells from normal to tumour, helps the body destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout the body, inhibits the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumour formation and helps to prevent the development of the additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth (angiogenesis).

Starving cancer cells (fourth characteristic)

One avenue to reduce the growth of cancer cells is simply to remove their food sources such as glucose and glutamine-rich foods, and then increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, which cancer hates. A rich dietary source of glutamine is red meats. This is why excess consumption of red meats and other concentrated sources of animal protein tend to promote tumour growth. Consumption in moderation seems to be the best approach.

Ketogenic Diet - It is important to keep the blood glucose levels low and to limit the ingestion of glutamine. The cancer cell utilises both glucose and glutamine in a fermentation process which it uses as energy. Cancer cells do not use the same process as ordinary cells and love a low oxygen environment. Cancer cells need around 8 times as much glucose and glutamine as ordinary cells so that keeping these levels low is enough to starve the cancer cells. The body will usually produce enough to avoid the death of ordinary cells, however, many cells can run on ketones and so this is where a ketogenic diet comes in. Another aid is water fasting and this can encourage cells to do some house cleaning and ditch badly performing mitochondria.

The best diet control is intermittent fasting which involves eating within a restricted time period each day.

Aim for a fasting period of 14 to 16 hours which is usually the equivalent of skipping breakfast. This diet has been shown to switch on the body’s repair mechanism and, providing you don’t overdue the carbs during your eating period, will keep your blood sugars low for long periods. If you have your last food at 8 pm one day and then your first food at 12 pm the following day you will have fasted for 16 hours.

Metformin - Metformin (Glucophage) has been the world's most frequently prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes. It has now been found to have significant anti-tumour properties, however, this may in part be due to the way it controls and decreases sugar levels in the blood. That it works is not in doubt.

Exercise - Exercise has many benefits and the fitter you are the greater your chance of surviving cancer or not contracting it in the first place. Exercise stimulates AMPK and SIRT1, which secondarily inhibits mTOR. This in turn stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, both of which are deadly to cancer. In essence, cancer can be viewed as a metabolic disorder, and the key to prevention and recovery lies in restoring mitochondrial function and increasing mitochondrial numbers. Exercise helps you do both. At the end of a gruelling half marathon I was tested for blood glucose levels by a research team. According to the people carrying out the tests I should have been dead but my body is adapted to running on ketones and so blood glucose levels are not as important as some people think.

We can do little about the toxins that we have to live with until we can stop this madness of Big Pharma and the big chemical companies. It is going to take all of us working together to restore our environment but in the meantime the steps outlined above can protect us from many illnesses - and not just cancer.

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

When I was three and a half years old, I lived next to a very old couple who let me play at the end of their garden which was connected to our garden by a small wooden gate.

One day, the old woman told me to go and talk to the fairies at the end of the garden. I obeyed and went to find the fairies. I remember sitting down and asking for a fairy to appear. I saw a very small pale blue fairy appear in front of me. I honestly cannot remember what we talked about, but I was delighted. I ran home quickly, to tell my mum and my older sister, Dee, that I had just seen and spoken to a little blue fairy with very small wings.

However, no one believed me. I was told that there weren’t really fairies. This deeply puzzled me, as I had just spoken to one. I remember telling my nursery school teacher the next day, who again told me that fairies are only in fairy stories. I thought, well I can see fairies, even if nobody else can.

I repeatedly tried to see the blue fairy again, but she never turned up. I decided then and there, the next time that I see a fairy that I am not going to tell anyone. As I knew that, the doubt put in my mind had broken the connection. I believed in fairies, because I had seen and spoken to one as a small child. We did reconnect many years later.

My childhood was ordinary, up to the age of ten. I was a regular little English girl, with lots of freckles and long reddish brown hair. When I was ten, my family moved to Zambia, Africa for two years.

I personally, liked living right in the middle of the African bush with my pony, Peggity, that I rode most days. We, as a family, visited many game reserves with Lions, Zebras, Giraffes, Antelopes and many other amazing wild animals. We visited the stunning Victoria Falls, met local witch doctors, and joined in tribal dancing ceremonies. The place was full of strange and wonderful animals, plants and colourfully dressed people with beautiful natural Amethyst and towering blocks of Malachite scattered everywhere. Africa was, and is, amazing.

When we returned from living in the African Bush, my parents bought a very large old house, which they still live in today. From the moment I started living there, I started to see spirits. They would come and walk around my bedroom at night and then they began to sit on me. I could see their old-fashioned clothes, from different times in history. The spirits did not talk to me at first. Now I realize that I was only looking into the past realities of the old house. They were probably just harmless spirits, but I had decided that they were negative spirits who wanted to scare me. Since what we think and feel is what we create, I created a horror story for myself.

Many more negative spirits turned up over the next two years, I called them the monsters. I was repeatedly sat on, touched and paralysed. It was a very frightening and lonely time. It was so frightening that I lived in total fear every night. I could not sleep at all until dawn, and then I would sleep for only 2 hours before school. This happened nearly every single night for two years.

Unbeknownst to me, I was co-creating and experiencing severe negative psychic abuse. When these spirits tried to communicate with me, I was fully aware of the depth of agony these negative beings were feeling. If I had the spiritual guidance and maturity of someone who was aware, I may have been able to stop the nightly terror. However, I was 12 when it started.

My only comfort was a small spirit bird, a white dove. I would clearly see its small flapping wings circling above me. When my spirit bird appeared, I knew I could get some sleep.

I believe the reason I did not go insane with fear was because I did not believe consciously that I was an evil person at all. I was more interested in why these monsters constantly visited me and wanted my soul. They did not give up, on and off for over a seven-year period tormenting me whenever I stayed at the family house in London. I spent most of my time abroad, but as a family, we often returned for the three month summer break, and this was when the negative psychic attacks happened. I was never psychically attacked in any other house I lived in. The worst time was from 12 to 14 years of age, and then again, at 19.

I realised at the age of 12 that something really awful must have been happening, as the attacks would start again when I managed to get to sleep. Other nights, I would awaken feeling as if I was flying around my bedroom. They would drag my astral body out of my body to scare me. It worked. I was completely terrified.

So at age 13, I moved into another bedroom downstairs, with my younger sister, Fay, who was 8. I was regularly paralysed and verbally attacked, when I was totally wide-awake. This was truly horrible. I was terrified of the monsters that seemed to really enjoy scaring me.

Other times, the whole bed would shake. I would be wide-awake and get into the same bed as my little sister. She would remain asleep and completely still. Yet I would be holding onto her, with me, violently moving around. I did not tell my parents, they just thought I had nightmares. In a way I wished it had been that simple. My life had turned into a complete horror story.

Many of our girl friends would sleep over, but never staying more than once. Once, a girl actually left screaming, saying that the beds shake. I found this a great comfort actually, as I thought, “I know, they hassle me all the time.” I was validated in my experiences. So yes, I was experiencing strange things, but so were other people, this kept me sane.

During this time, from age 12 to 14, I worked as a groom and a riding instructor. Every weekend, I rode and looked after a herd of horses, which kept me grounded. Being able to work with horses was my lifeline. I completely loved riding them.

During all this time, you would think that I would come up with a protection force of some kind. Praying never work, I tried it. I was still psychically abused. I learned to keep it quiet and to cope alone. My one thought was that I am not evil, so they cannot use me for evil. Interesting perspective!

This was my defence. I remember that I did not cry at all about this spiritual torture. I did not run to anybody. I knew my parents would not understand. I always remembered that no one believed me when I saw a beautiful blue fairy, so I was not going to tell anyone about the group of evil monsters living in my house. Would you?

My father moved the whole family to Penang, Malaysia when I turned 14. I lived a blissful attack-free year in Penang, which is a very small beautiful island in South East Asia, known as the Pearl of the Orient – a stunning place. My older sister, Dee and I, had to attend an international boarding school. The only one on the island was a born again Christian missionary school. Curiously, I had just spent two years in total spiritual agony, and now we were being ordered to pray before every single class! You can imagine my thoughts on this. God had not protected me at all through those nights of terror. I certainly was not interested in talking to Him!

I drove the very strict Missionaries completely nuts with questions about God, Jesus and the Bible. They could not answer to my satisfaction. I was told to stop asking questions, as I was starting to upset the other students. Oh really? I knew then that they did not have a clue about much at all.

My father’s job next took us to Manila, in the Philippines, just after my 15th birthday. No returning to the house of horror in London. Yippee! When we arrived in Manila, we stayed at a hotel that was holding an International Arts Film Festival for famous film stars, producers and directors from all over the world.

I was swimming in the hotel pool, when I was approached by David Hamilton, a well known photographer. He asked to photograph me. I agreed. David was very pleased with the photographs and he actually offered me a two-year modelling contract in France. I remember my parents telling me that if I really wanted to do this, they would arrange it for me.

I am only 5 foot 4 inches tall, a red head, being offered a modelling contract. How bizarre is that? I remember, genuinely considering this offer. Did I want to be a model? I just could not do it. I am a thinker, not an object to admire. I tell you this because, if I had signed on the dotted line, I would have stayed for only a week in Manila. However, I stayed for over 3 years with some devastating consequences for my friends and myself.

It was at this time, aged 15, that I had started to learn how to read playing cards. I did not like Tarot cards as the images scared me. I became very accurate at reading peoples’ fortunes. It was very common for the students in my school to come to my house and ask me anything about their future. They had questions like: “Will my parents let me go to the beach with my boyfriend this weekend?” “Will I graduate?” “Should I go to college in New York?” Typical girls’ card readings. I also studied Chinese astrology and palmistry. I even read the fortunes of some of the international school teachers. Funny, a 16 year old giving marriage advice to her English literature teacher!

In my final year at school, tragedy struck again and again. Three of my male friends died in car accidents. Every man I tried to start a romantic relationship with died that year. What do you do with that kind of emotional trauma at 17 years old?

My first boyfriend, whom I had started dating at the end of year prom, died in a car crash on the way home from the beach – he was travelling to have a date with me. The whole school was devastated, as he was a wonderfully happy soul. We all lined up at the funeral to pass by the coffin. I was in a very long line, and very upset. As I approached the coffin, I suddenly realised it had a glass top. Before I knew it, I was looking straight at his beautiful, yet damaged, dead face! I cried a lot that day.

How does one also cope with going to two more funerals in the next few months? I had warned the next one and his passengers of impending death, hours before, as I had a loud voice in my head (my soul’s inner intelligence) told me that the student I liked was in mortal danger.

I went straight to Manangs, the local bar, to warn Richard (not his real name) and the student I liked. We had only had a few dates. He probably decided that night that I was a complete lunatic, because I would not let Richard get into the car. He was my best friend’s boyfriend. I told him that if he got in, he would be seriously injured and the student I liked would die.

In the end, he gave me a very strange look, so I decided to let go of his arm. With hindsight, I really should have just continued to hold onto him! We were, after all, very good friends. Richard broke his back and had to wear a full back brace for nearly a year. The student I liked sustained serious head injuries and went into a coma, dying ten days later. I was devastated, yet again.

The third male friend actually persuaded me to give him back his car keys to drive home! I had seen him looking drunk and he was getting ready to leave the party. I had a very bad feeling. My inner voice, my soul’s inner intelligence, was yelling at me, telling me he must not drive home. The last words he ever spoke were, “I promise, I will make it home, Samantha. Please stop worrying about me.”

Yes, he had a car accident that night, and died a few days later, when they turned off the life support system. I was so sad and very annoyed with myself. I had given him back his keys! I decided, then and there, that I would always listen to my soul’s inner intelligence come what may.

Years later, this very same man’s spirit form appeared to me when I was 27. He insisted that I was three months ectopic pregnant. He was very persistent. I listened to him and insisted on an exploratory operation. He was correct. I had severe internal bleeding. His spirit actually saved my life.

Now back in early 1985, aged 18, I graduated early with honours. I returned to England to attend the London College of Printing, a specialist College, as I was accepted to train in Public Relations and Journalism. Welcome back to the House of Horror! I was living with my older sister Dee and her Danish female friend from the Philippines. My parents continued to live abroad, for ten additional years. Dee, started to date a very strange Brazilian man who practiced the dark arts of Black Magic, and I picked up on his sinister energy the minute I met him.

Well, he moved into the house, I had to get him out. But before this happened, he decided to curse my sister, plus, he left black magic spells all around our house! One spell was a picture of my sister’s face. He had used a match to burn a weird shape in the paper. Dee had a sore appear that was exactly the same size and shape. We did not find the spell until after the sore appeared, so no autosuggestion could have possibly occurred. He had put the spell under her bed, so that every time she slept there, the sore became worse. This went on for three weeks until we found the drawing.

My parents returned from Munich, Germany to help Dee. The sore would not heal. My mother took her to a doctor on Harley Street. I could not cope with Dee’s distress any longer. She was terrified, and I was becoming very concerned. I wanted to help her. I told Dee to stand in front of me. I placed my hands on her face, and I ordered the spells to be given to me immediately. I thought I could deal with it.

Oh my God! This evil entity walked straight into my aura, and I could hear it laughing. It had a coat and hat on. I remember thinking, “Why is it wearing a coat and hat? What an idiot!” Well, I thought that it is from Brazil, so it is probably freezing, being winter time in London.

I thought because it was an idiot, this would lessen my fear. I really thought I could cope with the silly Brazilian’s evil being. I had moved him out of the house physically, and I now needed to get him out of my aura, spiritually. The attacks came in full force every night for many weeks. If I did manage to fall asleep, I would wake up with negative beings around me, trying to pull my soul out through the soles of my feet! What puzzled me was why I could see them standing at the end of my bed in small groups, taking my soul again, like when I was 12. Whenever I was beng psychically attacked, my soul’s inner intelligence would explain exactly what was going on, to help release some of the fear, but I didn’t know how to protect myself or stop it happening.

At the time, I was working full-time at night, running an up-market hotel, and attending college full time in the day. I was completely exhausted. My sister was fine. The sore vanished within a week, and she moved out of the house, refusing to talk about it. I, however, was left with the evil being with a silly coat and hat on. It tried to talk to me, but I refused to respond. I could see and hear it 24/7. My approach was to ignore it, not listen to its constant evil muttering about most people I walked past.

Only my family knew about the spells. Would you go around telling people, at a respectable London college? “Hi, what have you been up to recently?”, “Me? I have been looking after my sister’s evil entity. Yes, an ex-boyfriend cursed her. I know it is terrible. However, it is okay, because I have saved the day. And, he’s still in my aura, so you had better move over a bit, because you’re squashing him!”, I mean, really, what was I doing? What was I creating!

Luckily, I had a spiritual friend, called Austin, who sometimes drove me to college. He took one look at me and said, “Samantha, you have an evil entity in your aura”. I just burst out crying. I was so glad he could see it too. His mother, who was the head of a gospel church, was contacted and offered to do an exorcism on me immediately.

My mother was in London and had to attend. After the session, Austin’s mother spoke to me privately, and told me to stop worrying. She laughed at me, and told me I was very clever. Her spirit guides told her that the Brazilian man had offered me a drink at a party, which Dee and I had arranged. She was correct. I had put the drink to my lips, but in my head, my soul’s inner intelligence had yelled “Stop, don’t drink that!” So, I did not. I poured the drink away. I always listen to the voice in my head.

Because I had not drunk it, he had not been able to curse me. I thought, “How lucky am I?” Imagine being cursed and then asking for Dee’s curse as well!

Austin’s mother then informed me that I was going to spend my life as a faith healer, healing and helping others. I thought, “Really?” Austin’s mother was very religious and, while I was not, I accepted her gift of a small bible and recited two protection psalms as directed. It helped me greatly. I could not see, feel or hear the evil being anymore, or his monster friends. I truly believed that I was free of this spell.

However, a few weeks later, on Valentines Day, I received a handmade card with strange symbols and calligraphy on it. It looked beautiful, until I opened it and started to read the first line. It said something along the lines of ‘your soul is condemned to hell.’ I quickly shut the card. I was deeply shocked, because he knew that the spell had been lifted, and he was trying to curse me, again. He knew he was fighting me spiritually too, because the card was addressed to me and not my sister, Dee. I showed my parents, and I decided to just burn the card. I knew if I read it, I would be cursed directly this time.

I decided that I had enough of these threats from, in my opinion, a completely evil person and evil spirits. I also knew that the only way to win this fight was to know, deep down inside, that I wasn’t evil, and I wasn’t going to resort to using evil (curse them back) to get rid of them. I was going to ignore them, give them no energy, and basically geton with my life.

A few days, or weeks, later, I honestly cannot remember, I was standing on the Greenwich Meridian Timeline. I was just waiting for a bus. I felt this almighty thud within my body. It was as if I had just jumped into my body. It could only be described as that.

My soul’s inner intelligence then proceeded to tell me a series of extraordinary and very interesting, but quite bizarre, spiritual facts about my amazing life, past and future. I certainly was not ready to deal with all this complicated information, but I was happy to hear what my soul’s inner intelligence had to say.

I was told that my mother had actually been pregnant with twins. She did not know this. My paternal grandmother was a twin, so this was possible. I lived, but the twin died very early in the pregnancy. It was a soul agreement. One was born and one went to spirit. Little did I know, during all these psychic attacks, that I always had a twin in spirit standing right beside me. This explained why I was so psychic – I lived in two worlds, at the same time. However, my twin could not help me. My twin just stood there crying. No wonder I never cried. My twin did it all for me, and saw it all. It must have been terrible. By the age of 19, my twin was livid!

The psychic attacks that occurred from age 12 to 14, and the black magic spells at 19, had resulted in what seemed to be irreversible soul loss. My soul passed to spirit, however, I had a twin soul, that stepped into my body and kept it alive, while I passed to spirit, was healed and sent back, hence the feeling of jumping back into my body at the bus stop. When I jumped back in, my twin stepped aside. This is a very rare spiritual event.

I was also told that I had a destiny. I was being given my Original Divine Soul later in this life. I would also be granted True Love. I would have a relationship with another Original Divine Soul in this lifetime. These partnerships are extremely powerful and help create new ways of being. They lead to new levels of existence, to help heal the collective Human soul. I would help others heal their souls and find True Love.

I heard and acknowledged all of this, however, I was really tired of this spiritual stuff, as it was all way too much. Original Divine Soul! Indeed! What was that? No, I needed peace. I had seen, heard and experienced too many things in my short years on this planet. I just stored that information with all the rest. I was very good at controlling what I thought. I had to let it all go, right then. It was not my path to go around telling people my strange spiritual experiences. I never told another living soul. I left home to stop thinking about all these spiritual things. I needed to forget. I knew I needed time to heal. I was 19, and I wanted like a normal life, please?

However, something extraordinary happened. When I was 23, and my son and I were homeless, I was given a house on the Greenwich Meridian Timeline. I thought, “How odd is that?” I had leapt back into my body about 500 yards away, I could have been moved anywhere! It made me remember what my soul had told me.

A Community Hub (dedicated to local people)

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 15:24:16 GMT

Community hubs are safe havens that bring local people together

Community Assembly Hubs are safe havens where local people can join together to create central meeting points and services designed to meet the needs of local people - and where like-minded people can work together to find the best ways to live in peace and harmony for the highest good of all.

What is a Community Assembly Hub?

A 'hub' is defined as the effective centre of an activity, region, or network. This is an excellent description of what a Community Assembly Hub is designed to be in terms of providing a central location or meeting point where people can get together, discuss ideas and make plans to develop and deliver services that meet the needs of local Community Assembly members.

This is outlined in A Community Perspective which looks at a recent report on a community survey carried out by the Coop resulting in '10 top reasons why communities are in decline.' This has been turned around to create '10 top reasons why to rebuild our communities' based on needs identified in the survey.

This is where we have proposed a new definition for 'community' which we have sent out in our updates for feedback so please feel free to contact us with any suggestions.

What is the purpose of a Community Assembly Hub?

Community Assembly Hubs start out as meeting places where people meet up to talk about ideas and set up a Community Assembly in their area. From there, members of the Community Assembly work together to establish a hub or hubs that will provide the services needed to support local people and look after the local environment.

This often begins with a few committed local residents or 'Founding Facilitators' who are invited to become members of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) for support, knowledge, advice on governance and other queries, together with regular updates and newsletters.

This means that committed facilitators have a point of contact to send and receive information from the network which they can relay to and from their Community Assembly members. By being 'plugged in' to the 'knowledge-flow' in this way, members are able to ask questions, make suggestions and put forward ideas with the team at the Community Assembly of the British isles (CABI) and other members. This helps Community Assemblies to grow in the best way possible while supporting each other to do so.

What is involved in setting up a Community Assembly Hub?

As soon as we are able to gain access to land and property, central onsite Community Assembly Hubs will be set up to provide the premises and facilities required for the administration, governance and running of the associated Community Assembly or Community Assemblies. General services can then be established for the benefit of members of the local community as a whole.

A central Community Assembly Hub (and smaller 'satalite' hubs) will accommodate shared offices, workshops, utilities, Community Law Courts , healing practices, herbal remedies, market gardening, repairs, maintenance and so on.

What is the best way to get started?

While a large central hub is an ideal goal to have in mind in order to explore and identify opportunities, Community Assembly Hubs start small with meetings at one or more locations to begin with.

Creating a small group with people who have similar interests and a general concern for the direction of travel in our society at the moment is a great place to start. Common interests could be gardening, walking, rock climbing or baking (for example). It could be an existing group or one created for the dual-purpose of enjoying an activity with like-minded people and meeting up to talk about ideas and how to take action.

Members of the group can then set up a Community Assembly for their local area by selecting a minimum of 3 Founding Facilitators who are invited to join the Community Assembly of the British Isles . This provides a range of benefits such as weekly 'boots on the ground' information from across the British Isles, telephone and email support, regular newsletters and the opportunity to feedback and feed information into the 'knowledge-flow' network.

Much work has been done over many years to understand how we can best become independent sovereigns away from the current system and take back control of our lives. It's a big challenge which is why being part of CABI is so important for the support we can provide and coordinate for everyone's benefit.

It means we don't each have to keep reinventing the wheel, we can share invaluable information with each other and forming strong and lasting relationships with members of the community and the wider Community Assembly network here and overseas .

Further information

If you are interested in setting up a Community Assembly or Community Assembly Hub we are here to talk things through with you. This is why CABI is here - to provide the support and information you need to get things moving - on your own terms and in your own way.

If you have any questions, send us a message and we will be delighted to get back to you.

There is no time like the present as we encourage each other to start making a difference today.

Humankind - A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 10:13:02 GMT

A book that celebrates the innate goodness of human beings

It's hard to find books in bookshops that celebrate the innate goodness of human nature and the inherent ingenuity and resourcefulness of human beings. This is why this book is a rare treat and why I am keen to share its extensive findings.

Why this book?

It's true that certain books appear when it's the right time to read them.

I bought Humankind over a year ago, put it on my bookshelf and promised to get back to it - having been enticed by the heartwarming testimonials on the back cover together with the catchline: 'How would your life and view of the world change if you knew people were good?'

It was only when I moved house a few weeks ago that I picked it up again and knew it was being presented to me as one of those books that I need to read now. I did so with relish as it turned out and I am delighted to share these insights with you here.

What is it about?

Humankind is a well written and researched book by historian and writer, Rutger Bregman, who lives in Holland. Rutger challenges the notion that ' civilisation is no more than skin deep' by exposing the myth that by nature, human beings are selfish, aggressive and quick to panic.

Nothing, in fact, could be farther from the truth, and claiming this as such on the back of spurious research and manipulated experiments, is a tactic known as Veneer Theory identified by a Dutch biologist, Frans de Waal.

There are examples of Veneer Theory throughout the book demonstrating that claims presenting a wholly negative and unpleasant view of human nature as a basis for government policy and so on are not only untrue but dangerous for humanity as a whole.

The result of this misconception we see all around us today, and as a sweet antidote, Rutger provides many opposing stories and 'hidden' bona fide research proving the opposite of these false claims to be true.

What is the main premise?

Humankind presents a radical idea that most people, deep down, are pretty decent. It poses the question of what kind of planet we would prefer to live on (in the context of what people might do in the event of a plane crash). Would it be: A - where people help those needing assistance out of the plane first, showing a willingness to give their life for perfect strangers, or B - where people panic and fend for themselves, trampling those in need of assistance under foot.

Rutger makes the case that although 97 per cent of people think we live on Planet B, in almost every case, we actually live on Planet A. The sinking of the Titanic provides a good example when the block-buster film is compared to what actually happened in the most terrifying of situations. Far from the dramatised panic, people were in fact quite orderly and considerate, working together and helping those most in need of assistance first.

Block-buster films, books and documentaries that falsify tragic events like these, presenting them as real-life stories, are a clear example of Veneer Theory being used to mislead people about the fundamental and benevolent tenets of human nature.

What are the main points discussed?

Humankind begins with two intriguing stories that demonstrate Veneer Theory in action leaving no question of its validity in terms of the difference between what goes on and what we are told about these things. One of these stories is so wonderful and powerful, I am writing a separate post about it.

This is followed by five sections as follows: where we are now (The State of Nature); the impact of two World Wars (after Auschwitz); how power corrupts (Why Good People Turn Bad); and how we treat each other (The Other Cheek).

The Epilogue presents ' 10 Rules to Live By' which are helpful in framing a positive state of mind. These simple rules align very much with our values and encourage us all to be kind to ourselves and each other which is what humanity needs most right now.

These are my favourite rules which I think we could all benefit from during such turbulent times:

When in doubt, assume the best
Think in win-win scenarios
Ask more questions
Temper your empathy, train your compassion
Try to understand the other, even if you don't get where they're coming from
Come out of the closet, don't be ashamed to do good
Avoid the news (and other mainstream media)

What are the key highlights?

The aim here (and in all our Book Insights ) is to shine a light on good news and accredited knowledge that has until now been hidden from sight, dismissed or ridiculed by design.

This book contains a great deal of good news for humankind with some examples as follows:

New kids on the block

An all new and improved version of the Lord of the Flies completely debunks the idea that children left alone to survive and look after themselves on a desert island results in rivalry and carnage. This entirely made-up story was heavily publicised at the time and went viral. The danger lies in these fictional stories being translated into unproven, pseudo ' facts' about human nature and we can see the long-term effects of this deception all around us today.

By way of comparison, Rutger presents a little known incident of a group of real boys who were deserted on an island for over a year which led to an altogether different outcome. It is a truly heartwarming story and one that deserves its own post which I will share as another book insight soon.

Men against fire

Our impressions of what happens in wars turns out to be a misconception and puts the business of fighting wars into an entirely different perspective. Numerous accounts come to the conclusion that most soldiers never fired their guns and that fear of aggression appears to be the normal part of our emotional make-up. For example, most soldiers would aim too high to avoid killing their fellow man whatever side they were fighting for with practically all the injuries and fatalities being caused by other means.

Christmas between the lines

I think we are all aware of the remarkable morale shown by war torn victims on both sides of the equation during the war, in particular the London and Dresden bombings. I wasn't aware of a similarly endearing story about the English and the Germans dropping their weapons on the front lines and coming together to celebrate Christmas together, sharing cigarettes and chocolate, showing each other photographs of their loved ones and wondering what they were all doing there and what they were fighting for.

I can't imagine what the conditions must have been like and it's another clear example of what human beings are truly made of.

Managing [people] is bullsh**

This is interesting, especially as we move closer to the time when we need to be managing ourselves and not others or each other. I know from my staff motivation survey facilitation days that when people have all the information they need to make informed decisions, the training they need to learn what they need to know, the resources they need to carry out their work to a high standard with support available if required, they do not need to be managed. Indeed, being micro-managed is recognised as being highly demotivating, having a negative impact on job satisfaction.

A good example of this is provided with the story of Jos de Blok who built a highly successful healthcare organisation by simply ' letting people do their job .'

This completely throws the capitalist/communism idea of having to use a carrot and stick approach out of the window. It also knocks Frederick Taylor's idea on the head that workers need enforced supervision from management and that ' what they want most from their employers, beyond anything else, is high wages .'

Where most corporate employers seem to be cut off from the real world in this regard, Jos sees his employees as ' intrinsically motivated professionals and experts who have no need for managers.'

It is true that the greater the autonomy for everyone involved, the greater the win-win-win situation for employer, employee and the organisation as a whole.

Made to believe (make-believe)

This is the exposure and significance of famous experiments which were designed and manipulated (sometimes to horrific degrees) to bring out the worst in people. These include ' The Prison Experiment' in Stanford University's basement and the Stanley Milgram ' Shock Experiments .'

Other such machinations demonstrate how our attitude towards ourselves and other human beings has been corrupted by this kind of spurious science which has so disasterously influenced our society and is still so prevelent in our world today.

Many examples of the counter arguments are given throughout the book which has no less than 54 pages of 'notes' or references. This gives us all the evidence we need to understand and celebrate the intrinsic goodness of human nature and the fact that human beings are essentially good people at heart.

What are the key takeaways?

Apart from the '10 Rules to Live by' above, I would add the following insights that might be helpful in the situation we find ourselves in today, especially in the actions we are taking to live our own lives as free sovereigns from a community perspective .

Human beings depend on and are motivated by our immediate and wider living environments, impacted by the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and other essential resources we need to live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life - in harmony with ourselves, each other and the natural world we so depend on.
Human DNA is programmed to be flexible so that it can adapt to the environment we find ourselves in as babies in the womb and newborns through puberty and adulthood. The good news is that whatever we have suffered in the past can be fully and completely healed when we are exposed to a nurturing and supportive environment (or culture) at anytime in our lives.
Human beings are particularly resourceful, compassionate and helpful towards each other during a crisis, quickly coming together to contribute skills, knowledge and information to help everyone come through the ordeal together.
If a so-called based on true life story becomes a block-buster or goes viral it could be a clear sign that it may not be the truth but rather skewed to present the most unfavourable impression of human nature using Veneer Theory. This aligns very well with the last of my favourite '10 Rules to Live By' which is to ' avoid the news (and mainstream media)' as much as possible.
Human beings are sociable animals which is something very well understood by our Indigenous friends and hunter-gather societies back in the days when, to be elected as leader for the tribe, you had to be:

Generous

Brave

Wise

Charismatic

Fair

Impartial

Reliable

Tactful

Strong

Humble

Sounds a lot like our champion Founding Facilitators who are working so hard to bring people together in their communities so that we too can demonstrate the beauty of humankind and how well we can learn to live, work and play together and take back control of our lives - without having to be managed by anyone - thank you very much.

The Wisdom of Wolves by Elli H Radinger

Sat, 08 Oct 2022 06:30:00 GMT

A book that reveals what we can learn from wolves living in the wild

This is a beautiful book written by naturalist, Elli Radinger, who draws on twenty-five years' experience in observing and recording the lives of the Timber Wolves in the wilds of Yellowstone National Park.

A vocation driven by a combined love of writing and a fascination for wolves, together with a kiss from a six year old Timber Wolf in an American wolf sanctuary, led to becoming a Volunteer Assistant Biologist on the Yellowstone Wolf Project in the Lamar Valley to the north of Yellowstone National Park.

Wolves are like us

The Wisdom of Wolves tells the story of a family of wolves based on their relationships, leadership, social roles, age, moral code and skills. The wolves Elli came to know and love demonstrated a remarkable range of cognitive ability including forward planning, decision making, learning, training, role play, hunting, parenting and survival. Having spent so many years watching, following and learning about thesee wolves, Elli identified a synergy between the ways of the pack and the ways of human beings.

'I've discovered that [wolves] are very similar to human beings in their behaviour: they are loving family members, firm but fair leaders, sympathetic helpers, crazed teenagers or silly jokers. My observations have taught me that the wolf is a great teacher from who we can learn a lot about life.'

Wolves live by family values

By spending such a long period of time observing her wolf family, Elli established a bond which she describes as being a loving relationship. Patiently learning about their way of life in terms of family bonds, intelligence and personalities, Elli began to recognise the independent wolf or she-wolf in herself. This raised questions and answers about the meaning of life which Elli shares at intervals throughout the book, and which are wonderfully interwoven with stories about the wolf family and how they consistently demonstrate exceptional 'wolf values .' These include intelligent survival strategies, a family-taught and respected moral code, and other altruistic behaviours.

Most interesting is the comparison of the wolves' behaviour to that of human beings. One is how play and affectionate interactions are used to nurture relationships and teach the young about boundaries, hidden dangers, companionship and other behaviours through gentle supervision and role-play. This benefits all members of the pack and every wolf plays their part which binds them together and holds the young pups in good stead to become healthy, independent members of a holistic family group.

As Elli says, we can learn from these caring and cooperative behaviours:

'Young wolves learn by observing their parents and imitating them, they do whatever they want to with their parents sometimes setting boundaries as part of their education. Every young wolf can have their own experiences and learn what actions have consequences, and wolf pups, like human children, need parents to show them the way.'

Wolves protect their community

Creating safe environments to bring up their young is something that can be compared to the ideal scenario in our world as in being brought up by loving parents who have our best interests at heart, or by carers who cared for us and did their best for us, or by a community that made us feel like we belonged. In the end, everybody needs somebody and we all need love. We can create such nurturing environments (based on a superlative community culture and shared values) where everyone feels welcome and everyone helps each other so that there is always a safe place to nurture our young and share in the responsibility.

This brings to mind the old African proverb mentioned in a previous post :

'It takes a village to raise a child.'

Wolves take responsibility

It is fascinating to discover that wolves create dynamic and altruistic teams that work together with a clear strategy and associated objectives, boundaries, roles and rules - all of which underpin their success stories. Wolves demonstrate quality values when it comes to working together, communicating with each other, and looking after their own.

Wolves compare to humans emotionally and conscientiously. As Elli says, just like us:

'Wolves grieve. When a family member dies they go searching and are unsettled, sometimes aggressive, they howl dolefully for a long time. But eventually they pull themselves together, get up and get on with things. They follow the rhythm of life: they hunt, eat, reproduce and look after their families. They do what all living creatures do in nature: they celebrate the here and now.'

Wolves trust each other

Elli recognises wolves as sentient beings with an innate trust in themselves, their loved ones and their natural environment. This reminds us that human beings live most happily when we are able to trust each other in the same way. This is something we do well to nurture in ourselves so that we can enjoy a beautiful life on Earth together, as Elli says:

'Wolves are similar to us in many respects. Like them, we are living creatures with a personality, a soul, intelligence and emotions. They move perfectly in a world that is older and more mature than ours, they have sensory functions that we lost long ago or never developed, and can trust in voices that we never hear. And yet they are entangled with us, fellow creatures on this wonderful earth of ours.'

This book reminds us to show continuous affection to those we love, to celebrate life in every moment , to never give up and, above all, to never stop playing.

Let's run with the wolves!

True Love by Samantha Britt Beaumont Chapter 2

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 06:30:00 GMT

Chapter 2 - Why Are My Past Lives So Awful?

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

I decided to go back in time and directly access the last happy life I had experienced.

Oh my God, do you know how far back in time I needed to travel to find a ‘happy life’? Would you believe about 14,000 years? I was running around in a colourful belly-dancing outfit back then, and was living in an enclosed city compound, somewhere in the Middle East. We were, as a people, very well educated and peaceful. However, lets just say, I noticed that I had a very low IQ. It was a little disturbing, actually. I thought this is the last happy life I have had on Planet Earth. Something is up with that!

Luckily, I found it very funny. A sense of humour is necessary when dealing with past lives. Make sure, if you are too serious about yourself, to access the past life where you lost your sense of humour. Your sense of humour is actually the ability to love yourself. This ability to love yourself is essential for healing your soul.

I firmly believe that we can learn to love ourselves and everybody else who is here on Planet Earth at this time. How do we love the wicked tyrants and murderers? I have contemplated this. When you have accessed fifty individual past lives, you realize that you, too, have been a wicked tyrant and a murderer in another time. If you do not go around being a wicked tyrant and murderer now, it is be cause you have learnt on a soul level that what you do to others will, and does, come back to you.

We can find compassion for these souls, and not send out anger and hatred towards them. Imagine you killed someone in a fit of anger. It was an accident. It was not your intention. The local TV news station does a story, and millions watch and judge your accident as a blatant act of evil. Imagine how much misguided anger and hatred is projected out from the public towards your soul, who for your own reasons choose to experience taking a life. If you had killed someone five thousand years ago, maybe only a few hundred people would have heard about it and judged you ( sent anger towards you ).

I have compassion for all human beings. It is because I know what I have done in my past lives. Would I kill another today? No, under no circumstances would I hurt another! I can assure you that this soul has gained experience by learning about it’s past lives. Everybody makes mistakes and all mistakes can and need to be forgiven. If you stop judging others, you will find love and compassion for all people. Then love and compassion will find you.

Did you know that everything that you think, say and feel adds energy to this world? What are you thinking, saying and feeling? What are you personally adding to the world at this time? What are you currently creating? Oddly enough, loving yourself doesn’t mean what you might think. You can tell yourself that you are really good at singing, making a living, or that you have a nice car. But this is just scratching the surface and doesn’t last long. It is a waste of your time, to be honest. Looking within is where the answers are waiting to be found.

To really love yourself again, means to forgive yourself. Why do you have to forgive yourself? Because, just by being on Planet Earth at this time means that you are experiencing pain and suffering, and on some level, you are a victim. This is a place of victim mentaility, so you have to have victim stamped all over your being to be born into this reality in the first place. Own it, change it, heal it and let it go. This is also the only place in the universe where you can heal your soul, this means you have the ability to change yourself from victim to magical universal human being. How many people actually know this? Just take a good look around. Have you seen any happy vibrant people recently? We are walking around as deeply traumatized human beings.

Only some remote indigenous tribes are full of joy. Their culture from birth works in harmony with Nature. They use prayers, songs and dancing ceremonies to stay in touch with their souls’ connection to Planet Earth. By staying in touch with the natural world, they remain natural and their souls receive love. They have the tools to create a loving happy existence.

I was very interested in understanding why all my past lives were so awful. I have been a natural psychic all my life, since a small child. I could see what others could not see. People say there is a veil between spirit and us. I was born without the veil. I was born with my sixth sense fully activated – known as extra sensory perception. ( ESP )1

(1) Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the apparent ability to acquire information by paranormal means independent of any known physical senses or deduction from previous experience. The term was coined by Duke University researcher J.B.Rhine to denote psychic abilities such as telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-sensory_perception

If I stand beside you, or if in my imagination I know your original name at birth and your date of birth, I can automatically receive accurate, personal details. With your per mission, I can access your soul’s inner intelligence, which, I understand to mean, your true self, your universal wisdom, all memories, past, present and your current potential future path.

If you are lying to me, I automatically access the truth. One woman tried to plead total poverty after I had spent the entire day training her in Tibetan hands-on healing. I said, “But, there is £4007 in your bank account.” The woman went white. I was correct. Her current bank statement had automatically appeared in my imagination. I have an ability that every human being can learn. It is part of our future, to be more psychic: hearing your soul’s inner intelligence, connecting to universal wisdom and knowing the answer to any question.

As a very young adult of 15, I chose to use my natural psychic abilities primarily for informing people about their future. Then at 24, I became interested in helping others with their health problems. I can naturally see into someone’s body, and look at cancerous tumours, growths or medical complaints of any organ. I can tell people exact measurements of tumours. I am also able to tell people exactly wha their doctor is going to say at their next appointment.

In my imagination, I can view future test results, treatments–even what surgery procedures will be performed in the future. I once informed an intensive care doctor of a German drug he should try using on a seriously ill comatose child. I cannot speak German! I had to spell it out for the doctor, literally.

When clients receive their tests results, they tell me that I am exactly right about the size, shape, condition and or medical procedures they have been offered. This really helps people’s healing processes. If I know the present and future details together, I help the client to create the best future outcome. So, most can, and do, recover extremely quickly. As long as they take full responsibility for creating this illness, they can un-create it in their imagination. They can travel the path to health that I have seen. As we create our lives with what we are thinking, saying and feeling, staying positive is important to restoring one’s health.

I use my imagination to walk forward in time to see the future path and report back what I had seen. I have even worked with the British Police force, helping to discover what happened to two missing young women who were presumed dead. I am able to contact any willing soul, if they wish to communicate with me.

I have been able to astound people over the years. However, people tend to avoid me in the long run. On a personal level, it is hard to remain friends with someone who is able to inform you about what will happen in your future. If someone is talking about starting a new business, and while they are sharing their future plans, I am told by my soul’s inner intelligence that it is a complete waste of his or her time, what do I do? Do I tell them?

This is a natural ability. I can decipher the truth, just by listening. Especially, when they have actually asked their soul for the truth, I show up in their lives, give them the psychic information they seek, and most will still remain stuck, repeating the same old emotional drama. Why? Because, unless you learn to reconnect and receive your own advice from your own soul’s inner intelligence, the advice of another, however good they are, just does not hold for long.

People are pulled back into their negative self, the high from the information is just that, like a drug, where you need another fix, so you get another psychic reading. There is no inner shift because this is information that comes from outside of you. In order to grow spiritually, you need to get in touch with your own information, by learning to access your soul’s inner intelligence. This amazing gift of insight is available if you wish to learn, it is a natural ability of the soul.

I realised that some people are just not interested in acknowledging that everything they think, say and feel forms the basis for their lives. We ARE the creators of our lives, however disastrously we construct them. We must take the credit for everything we experience. Good or bad is just how we label our point of view at the time. You may have a small car crash, which is bad news and then discover that a serious car accident involving many cars happened the next day at the exact time and spot you passed every day. Nevertheless, you are on the bus unharmed, as a result of your car being in the garage for repairs.

You may try to call to my attention to all the abuse you have experienced at the hands of a violent parent, partner, sibling, school bully, work colleague or a string of global disasters created by the fake elite, consisting of all the world governments, multinational corporations, world banking, secret societies and their new world order plans. However, all these things dwell in you, the human being. What you need to realize is we all get to take turns playing the role of the good, the bad and the ugly. Do you know what role you are currently playing? More importantly, how many different roles have you played in this lifetime already?

What are you currently creating? This is important, because we are collectively creating this world that we are now living in. Whatever is happening here is due to the desires of the entire human race.

We are the guardians of this beautiful planet, but we have been asleep on the train. We are too busy judging and blaming everyone else for the problems in this world, and far too busy to actually correct our own behaviour. We must become aware and understand that we are unconsciously releasing lots of past trauma or energy, which is creating future horror for our world.

By acknowledging this blame game, we can learn how to look within and start to heal our entire individual soul’s journey. Listen to your soul’s inner intelligence, it knows what you have experienced in all your past lives. Your soul knows exactly what needs healing and how to heal it.

Will you miss your destination or should I say Destiny? We need to wake up and steer this beautiful planet to a more respectful relationship with her natural resources. Guess what? WE are a natural resource too.

You may ask why we are creating all these horrors? Human beings have been through many different planetary changes before. We carry this ancient trauma as part of the collective memory of the human soul.

It is the time and the place to discover, acknowledge and release all traumas from your soul. You brought this trauma with you to be healed. Whatever has happened to the human soul can be healed now. Are you destined to reach your full potential? Are you destined to be a loving, powerful co-creator with Planet Earth and All Her Relations?

Not as we are all doing now. We are destroying Her (Planet Earth) unwittingly by hating, misjudging and ultimately blaming others by refusing to take personal responsibility for the part we have most definitely played throughout time.

Inside your soul is a library of information on every life you have lived, and what you did in those lives. This includes your dark side, your shadow. You need to acknowl edge it. Healing (loving) your shadow self will give you great compassion and love for your fellow man, bringing back much needed love to the entire human race (the good, the bad and the ugly).

Acknowledge and honour the entire journey of your soul. Forgive and love your shadow, which can include all of humanity’s shadow. We can help our fellow humans in this healing process, together. Only when you love your shadow, can you release the fear to integrate your whole self to become love again.

Why do this? Because if we can go back in time, we can heal our past and shadow self, then we can as a loving and healed individual, go forward into our future creating a better world for ourselves and all of humanity.

The veil will be lifted soon in preparation for The Age of Aquarius or The Age of Humanity, so all the people of this planet will see what I can see. The natural ability, which all humans have, is to be able to communicate with the soul of every living thing in this entire universe, and to be able to access universal wisdom. These abilities can improve or change your future prospects, by directing your future with a positive and loving consciousness.

Practicing, future self communication allows you to master your life, to acquire the skills and experience to use this technique to push forward into your future, helping to co-create the best possible future for yourself, Planet Earth and All Her Relations.

Now, the best way to view the future, is by imagining calling in your future potential self in say, five years time. See another yourself striding up to the Medicine Wheel. This is called accessing your future potential self. Ask your future yourself, “Where am I living? What am I doing? Where are my personal relationships heading? Am I in the right relationship? Am I speaking my Truth? Am I creating my community? What am I doing with my life?” The magic is that, if you are not happy with the information you are receiving, and seeing in your imagination, you can change it. Because you still have the five years, you still have the time!

You can start with much shorter periods of time, if you wish, then you can begin to set and achieve your short term goals. Be your greatest potential future self now. You will achieve so much more if you stay positive and focused, then you will be ready to create your best possible future. To be part of the magic of life as we travel into The Age of Aquarius or The Age of Humanity, which I understand to mean living as equals in peaceful harmony with each other and all life on Planet Earth.

I am a true Aquarian. My astrological chart is proof, as I have many planets in Aquarius. We all can learn how to be an Aquarian, or to put it another way learn how to be a Humanitarian. We each need to access our soul’s inner intelligence by healing our soul’s complete journey. A shift in how you see this world, and how you create your future, is important to remember.

The soul is like God... invisible. Can I or anyone else prove to you that God exists? No. Can I prove to you that you have a soul? No. Can I explain that understanding the point of view of many different life experiences will make you a compassionate, non-judgmental loving, human being? Yes!

We can only genuinely relate to other’s pain by experiencing it ourselves, to really know what it is like to kill fellow human beings in a war, to lose a beloved child, to die from a broken heart, or to be murdered, imprisoned, poisoned or eaten by a wild animal. One life cannot give you this depth of life experience and understanding. Obviously. I have experienced so much more in all my past lives, that has not been discussed in this book. That is why I can help others. Whatever your problem, yep, I had that one too!

Look, I am fine. You are fine. Why am I fine? Because I know and accept that I am the creator of my life. I have taken full responsibility for all my creations. This is true awareness, allowing true acceptance and True Love for myself.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience, let us not forget.

We need to elevate the human being, to realise that as co-creators of this world, we can be our full potential. To create for ourselves much more than this three dimensional slave mentality, which has been limiting our experience of this world. As Planet Earth’s co-creators we can heal this world, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We are quite capable of a becoming magical universal human beings co-creating together a multidimensional world instead. We just need to get back in touch with our soul’s inner intelligence. To help dramatically change this world. This world will change, whether you participate or not. I have spent my whole life predicting future outcomes. I personally experience in the present, what will be experienced by humanity five years later. Or, put another way, you could conclude that I am currently living energetically in the year 2013 at the time of writing this book. I am feeling extremely happy. This is good news for humanity, the world is a very different place in a few short years time.

However, These changes suggest it is a good idea to practice using your imagination, to stay in communication with the soul of all living things. Seeing a sacred Native American Medicine Wheel in your imagination, or making a physical one in your home, will help you to access your own soul’s inner intelligence and universal wisdom that is connected to all souls, whether they’re a person, animal, tree, mountain, or even a storm cloud.

Even Planet Earth has a voice, if you are willing to listen. She wishes to speak to the humans at this time. She is asking for our help, our love and our creative energy. I have included a conversation I had in April 2008 with the soul of Planet Earth. She had a lot to say that day. She was in a bit of a bad mood! You may feel like reading this section first in chapter eleven. It allows you to participate and heal Her, simply by reading. It is an example of how to heal, in your imagination, in your Medicine Wheel using Power Animals.

We need to stay alert, and aware of what Planet Earth is planning to keep herself safe. We have all witnessed the massive loss of lives due to large earthquakes and devastating tsunamis, hurricanes and flooding over the last few years, particularly, South-East Asia, USA, China and Sri Lanka.

We need to realise that Planet Earth is in charge of the future. We are like passengers on a train (future path) with no brakes heading toward self-destruction. We need to find the emergency cord and pull it now. We all need to get off this train. The more people that get off, by abandoning support of this rat race reality, the better off this world will be.

It seemed that I had a soul contract to experience severe negativity for many years, in this life. This was part of my soul’s healing journey and I understand why now.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 21:17:09 GMT

A book that explores the art of 'presence' and active 'being'

This powerful book by Eckhart Tolle dispels engrained myths about our concept of time and looks deeply into attitudes and behaviours that have a profound impact on our relationships and the way we live our lives.

Established concepts such as humanity already reaching the pinnacle of its development is exposed as a myth. As are ideas that human beings are completely separate from each other, nature and the cosmos, and that the physical world is all there is. These misconceptions are completely debunked which can only make you feel good inside.

The joy of living in the moment

Based on his own personal transformation, Eckhart tells us how to rise above our conscious thoughts to see things as they really are rather than whatever we happen to be thinking at any moment in time . By doing this for himself, he was able to recognise and overcome the fears he was conjuring up in his mind. By recognising the delusion of regretting the past and worrying about things that haven't happened yet, he began to experience great pleasure by living in the NOW, cultivating a state of presence and connecting with his inner purpose and creative self.

Living in the present moment - with presence - brings to mind a quote cited on our new Member Newsletter page:

What leads to peace is not violence but peaceableness, which is not passivity, but an alert, informed, practiced, and active state of being.

Wendell Berry

The danger of subconscious thinking

The Power of Now explains how we can watch our thoughts in order to consciously put them into the right context. It shows us how to remove the counter-productive burden of worrying about things that may or may not happen in the future or keep going over things we have done (or could have done) in the past. This kind of subconscious thinking does not serve any constructive purpose so we need to focus on the one thing we are doing at any particular moment, and tune into our heart intelligence to engage our heart, mind, brain and intuition into whatever it is we are doing. This prevents unhelpful thoughts from taking over.

In this way, with practice, we can learn to let go of unhelpful subconscious thoughts and create the space we need for transformation to take place - when we slip into a creative flow and time is the last thing on our minds, as are any intrusive thoughts about the past or the future.

The practice of being in the present

It can be tricky to catch our minds wandering and bring our thoughts back into the moment. That's why it's so worth practising the methods suggested in this book. It is beneficial to learn how to intercept unhelpful thoughts before they turn into physical reactions. The good news is that we can train our minds to do just that so that we can live in the present where we can be our most creative and intuitively connected to our inner purpose. Doing this, even for snatches of time, demonstrates that we can use our minds to stimulate the active state of being mentioned above, a state of being that's powerful enough to help us shape the lives we most want to live now and into the future.

Being in an active state of being and living in the present moment is also beneficial when it comes to giving others the space to express themselves and work things through in their own way. Rather than becoming caught up in fears generated from past and future events, we are able to see situations and behaviours for what they are and show true compassion thus making a tremendous contribution towards bringing about a better world.

The way to manifest our own future

In summary, Eckhart shines a light on the quality of our consciousness at any particular moment as the main determinant of the kind of life we are experiencing. He also explains how this process determines what kind of future we are manifesting for ourselves, our loved ones and the rest of the world at any (or every) moment. Our minds, conscious or not, are powerful creators and we need to be aware of this so that we can bring about positive change with our thoughts, feelings and intentions.

When we surrender to what is and become fully present in the now , the past ceases to have any power, the future ceases to frighten us, and we are able to free ourselves to enjoy the feeling of BEING in a perfect state of contentment and bliss.

Here's to the power of NOW .

A Community Perspective (for the highest good of all)

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 06:30:01 GMT

Communities are more important now than they have ever been

A recent study found that people who are engaged in their communities feel a sense of belonging, safety and being able to rely on others. These findings alone provide invaluable incentive for us to build strong local communities and bring people who feel they do not belong back into the fold.

The study with 1,200 adult respondents revealed ten (top) reasons for 'community decline' as indicated by 43% of respondents who said they do not feel part of their local community at all.

Top ten reasons for community dis-engagement

People are taking less pride in their community.
No facilities for people.
Not enough government or local council funding.
Not enough investment in green spaces or the environment.
People are struggling and so becoming more insular.
It’s too expensive to live there so people are leaving.
Work and employment opportunities are leaving the area.
Not enough housing.
Young people are leaving the community.
Fewer people are volunteering in the community.

I think many of us agree that these problems have been caused largely from our dependency on an increasingly failing government that seems only to serve the privileged few and not we the people as it should do. Many unlawful 'obligations' are forced on people without their prior knowledge or consent with increasing top-down control and standards increasingly in decline. This correlates with the reported 'decline' of the community. Isn't it a case of when a government stops working for its people, the people need to start working for each other and learn how to do things for themselves?

Our vision to establish Community Assembly Hubs across the British Isles goes a long way towards addressing these issues over time. With the right level of support and connection to relevant and timely knowledge, local people can start organising themselves with everyone's best interests in mind and take back control of their communities. This is why Community Law is so important and powerful. With everyone's consent to live lawfully and peacefully according to shared values and the four tenets of Natural Law, we can live together in harmony on our own terms.

If we take the above list of things that make people feel most alienated from their communities and turn it around, we can create a compelling list of values and objectives that would address these issues from a community perspective . This could represent a benchmark for developing community services and support networks based on the current and long-term needs of a community at any given time. As a direct 'translation' from the above 'reasons for dis-engagement', a common standard based on real needs would look something like this:

Top ten reasons for building back our communities

Everyone feels a sense of pride in their community.
There are free and cooperative services available for everyone in need of support.
We raise funds through our Private Members Association and creative pursuits.
We all take care to look after ourselves, our immediate and the wider natural environment.
We reach out to anyone who lives on their own and make them feel they are welcome.
We provide shelter, healing, food and warmth for people in need as a basic human right.
We provide training, workshops and a whole range of activities and livelihoods to explore.
We are able to secure land, reclaim abandoned homes and provide resources for Tiny Homes.
We encourage all young people to lead and/or help with projects and provide any required training.
We have a rota for voluntary work and services provided at the Hub and in the community.

What a difference!

It represents a tremendous challenge, one which we are starting to make in-roads into, remembering that with these kind of values and objectives in place, the positive outcomes of healthy communities mentioned above, where people feel a sense of belonging, safety and friendship by being engaged in their local community, would become the norm. Not forgetting that in this kind of environment, everyone would be made to feel welcome so that people would want to be part of it.

I wanted to compare the above findings to the standard definition of 'community' to see if any of this matches up. I was shocked to find these woeful attempts in the current online Collins Dictionary:

All the people who live in a particular place or area; a group of people who are similar in some way; friendship between different people or groups, and a sense of having something in common.

How vague and nondescript these definitions are! Completely devoid of any real meaning and lacking in any reference to a community's significance to local people, the importance of its heritage and local traditions, or the ingenuity demonstrated by healthy communities in the things they do and the things they put their faith into . It brings to mind an old African proverb:

It takes a village to raise a child.

Or is it because the powers that be want us to forget so that we become ever more dependent on them?

It may or may not be so but I hope everyone has accumulated and can bring to mind, fond memories of feeling part of a safe community, or being rescued by a benevolent one, or being made to feel welcome by a friendly one.

This sense of community brings to heart and mind the generosity of spirit and characters I remember from my childhood days. I was fortunate to spend the very first years of my life in the heart of a working class community in the Midlands. I can still feel the memories of being walked under the trees in the local park, going to tea with the aunties every week and being surrounded by the sound of family and friends chatting, laughing and putting the world to rights.

It was a long time ago but I remember everyone knowing everyone. If anyone needed anything (or something went wrong), there was always someone being sent for, fetched or turning up to lend a hand. It felt safe for this reason, especially as we (or my family back then) had to do so much more with so much less. I didn't understand it then but in my later years I feel very grateful for all the things I had to learn and to have been part of something so special.

Continuing my search for a suitable definition of 'community', out of interest, I looked up the word in my 2003 Oxford Dictionary which provided a slightly better option as follows:

The people of a district or country considered collectively, especially in the context of social values and responsibilities; the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.

And I was not surprised to discover that the reported 'community decline' over the years seems to have resulted in changes being made to the standard definition of what a community should be and the benefits a healthy community can bring.

And so, I propose a new definition for 'community' and one that aligns more closely with our vision, mission and values . Perhaps, if you agree, we can use this as a starting point to clearly define what we mean by community and what we want from a community perspective .

A community is a superlative diverse multi-culture where people, land and nature are valued, cared for and nurtured according to Natural Law so that everyone (without exception) is supported to realise their spiritual potential, express themselves creatively, make a meaningful contribution and become their best selves.

And in the words of my late Dad, Jeff Cartwright, the premise of his book, The Unisey, published in 1979:

We now have all the intelligence and resources we need to create a beautiful life on Earth for all people .

It starts with us and our members are working hard to make it happen. Its about time, knowing that when we work together we can increasingly turn this reported community decline around.

True Love by Samantha Britt Beaumont Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Why I wrote this book

TRUE LOVE

A Shamanic Healing for the Soul

The summer breeze blows through my hair

And from a tree drops a single pear
And there it sits, all alone
And from the tree comes a woeful groan
As it drops another luscious treat
The two pears finally meet

by my daughter, Lhasa, age 9

True Love for yourself will help you to find a True Love. Many souls are calling for True Love, calling to each other ...

Throughout my adult life, when I went near anyone with the slightest psychic ability to see into the future, I was always asked, “Where is your book? Why have you not written it?”

Over the years, it became a bit of a joke. Would I ever write this book? It is as if the Spirit world was encouraging me to share what I know. To help others to create the life they desire by using a Native American Medicine Wheel and their imagination. Then, they can be their own past, present and future life therapist, accelerating their individual soul’s healing processes by accessing their inner voice or the soul’s inner intelligence, a connection to Universal Wisdom, to know the answers to all their questions.

The time for going to psychics is over. We need to find our own way to self-activate universal wisdom, by remembering and acknowledging, that we are magical universal human beings. This means honouring and healing the entire journey of our soul’s past. Ask your soul’s inner intelligence, that is connected to all living things, to help you find your power within.This power within, this magical love, to create a good life, shows up in your life when you really love yourself. To really love yourself, you have to know who you really are. To know who you really are, you have to acknowledge and heal the entire journey of your soul. Go back to your soul. Go back to 'True Love' for yourself.

This True Love for yourself will help you to find a True Love. Many souls are calling for True Love, calling to each other, as these relationships can create a special magical love. Magic and True Love are urgently required to help create a good future and heal humanity and Planet Earth.

I have been a Spirit Communicator and Shamanic Healer for over 25 years, and now wish to share my way of healing for your soul. I intend to show how to activate the magic that has been buried deep within all of us to access and heal all our past and future lives, to steer this Planet Earth and All Her Relations, which means every living thing, including the human race, into the best possible future.

I have learned from my own soul’s inner intelligence, which I understand to mean that all of my past lives, including this one, have something in common. The same soul has journeyed throughout time repeatedly. This statement may not resonate with you if you do not believe you have lived before. However, this hurdle, once surmounted, expands your mind instantly.

One of the most spiritually enlightening facts to discover is that you have lived here before, at least once. I have never met a completely novice soul, and I am sure there are a few, but the majority of the human race has been here many times before.

The Hindu astrologers believe all of us have had at least 1,000 lives. Wow! If we have stored all these separate life experiences within our being, are you not a little curious to find out what you’ve experienced in those past lives?

You may have had 1,000 fathers, mothers, sisters, children, friends and lovers. Is all that life experience and knowledge lost, forever? Can you get it back? I asked my self the same questions. “Can all of my past life experiences, memories, lost knowledge and skills be returned to me? Is it possible to be all my past lives at the same time? Is there a way to access this self-knowledge, to become a magical universal human being?”

I discovered that my past lives included living as a:

Farmer, Witch-doctor, Teacher, Baker, Tai-chi master, Pirate, Sailor, Horse whisperer, Slave master, Barmaid, Fisherman, Herbalist, American Indian, Shiatsu doctor, Caveman, Monk, Blacksmith, Exotic belly dance, Healer, Hunter, Highwayman, Midwife, Write, Knight of Templar, Nun, Samurai warrior, Soldier, Priest, Landowner and Pilot.

Imagine being able to meet and greet all your former selves from your past lives. What wisdom and knowledge would you be able to rediscover? What skills would instantly be re-remembered and available to use again? Your ancient wisdom is waiting. Are you interested in discovering who you have been in your past lives?

I have personally investigated about 50 of my past lives in the last 20 years. Significant healing occurred, whether I used hypnotherapy or my own imagination in a sacred Native American Medicine Wheel. I currently use only my imagination to view the life, without actually feeling it. I will explain.

Usually, a past life therapist is trained in advanced clinical hypnotherapy. The therapist begins by inducing you into a deep relaxed state, so you can access your subconscious memory and feel the actual experience of being in another body, in another time. You actually step into the body of your former self (who you were in the past life) and feel the complete experience on both physical and emotional levels.

As it can be deeply traumatic, most people tend to do one life and stop at that. This just bogs you down into one other life. It is a slow recovery process as each life can take six weeks to integrate into your conscious mind.

I have been able to experience this technique to access twenty past lives. Personally, I am fine with this technique, I love going to other times and investigating. Where do I live?

What do I do for a living? How do I feel about life, and what my lovers and friends are like? Even small things like what the local currency looks like, or what kind of food people are eating. In essence, it is a live history lesson, experienced in the present moment.

It is very fascinating, even though I was once being eaten alive by rats in the Great Fire of London! I left that life very quickly! Or others, where I was constantly being left by fellow companions on different battlefields across Europe to die horrible, slow and painful deaths.

The funniest life I accessed was when I entered the body of a former self that was in the early stages of being beaten to death by a group of enraged villagers! I was laughing and yelling at them to stop hitting me! They did actually stop to listen for 5 minutes. I explained I was a future self, and tried to take the opportunity to apologise for whatever I had done to warrant such abuse. However, I was strongly advised by the group of villagers to leave, as they were waiting to carry on beating me to death! You see, you cannot avoid or fully change your history, but you can heal it. Can you understand why I thought there must be a better way of dealing with past life therapy?

Over the years, I have been able to teach others to imagine a beautiful Native American Medicine Wheel, creating a sacred place to help retrieve personal information about their past, present and future lives. It works best to imagine inviting, into your sacred Medicine Wheel, the spirit form of every man, woman or child you were in your past lives. It is a very gentle process, they have a soul connection to you. It allows a certain level of detachment, as we are dealing with your former self. We can also accompany this former self if necessary, and travel backwards in time to view the past life, not experience it. This method provides the same information in a quicker process with more objectivity, helping tremendously, as you will find out, if you wish to use my technique. By taking personal responsibility and healing your past lives (former selves), you can make a powerful and positive impact in your present life.

It is not a question of needing to access lots of individual past lives. It is more about opening up your mind. A couple of past life sessions are encouraged to help easily reconnect you to your soul’s inner intelligence.

I have created mass past life healing, where all your former selves are invited at the same time for healing. Once processed, you will be able to access universal wisdom, to answer your own questions and become a magical universal human being again.

This is how you find out who you really are, by finding out who you have really been, and to acknowledge your entire journey through many different past lives, discovering your true self. It is an incredibly powerful Shamanic self-healing tool. But what is shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient way of awareness, an awareness of the life force energy, an awareness of your soul or your consciousness. It is a term used to describe the practices of indigenous people from all over the world. They were, and are, the healers within the community, known as the Shamans, the Witch Doctors, the Spiritual Elders, also known generally as the Medicine People.

These medicine people are in tune with Planet Earth and Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the Spirit world. A practitioner of shamanism is known as a shaman. There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world. Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits which affect the lives of the living. Shamanism requires individualised knowledge and special abilities. Shamans operate outside established religions, and traditionally, they operate alone.

All Her Relations. They know how to touch the soul is everything in order to keep a healthy balance within each individual, within the community and therefore, within their world. For these medicine people, there is no separation between daily life and Spirit, as they know that all things are connected, and that dis-connection equals dis-ease. Although our modern life styles seem very far removed from the experience of indigenous peoples, the needs and expressions of the human soul are still the same in their desire to connect with love and creativity for each other, their community and their world.

For the Shaman, everything is alive and carries information. In order to communicate with the spirit, soul or consciousness of these former selves, you will shift your own state of awareness by creating a personal sacred space in a Native American Medicine Wheel, in your imagination, in your home, or somewhere in nature to allow Great Spirit and the Power Animal spirit guides to help heal you. This Shamanic practice is characterised by the soul’s flight. You make a gentle shift of consciousness, which allows the free part of your soul to leave the body. You can then go backwards (former self) or forwards (future self ) in time via the Medicine Wheel, to retrieve information for powerful self-healing and personal growth.

First, you will heal your past lives (former selves) and if necessary, you will retrieve lost parts of your soul, your healing power or things that you have lost along the entire journey of your soul. Then, as you travel forward in time, you will observe and help your future self to create the life you desire, creating a life worth living. I used past life therapy for many years on myself to help with a problem. For example at 21, I wanted to know why I could not make a good income. I asked to access the life that has blocked my ability to earn money at this time. Half an hour later, I was sitting in my living room laughing, realising that I was a very mean and wealthy landowner, who never paid his workers. Because I had committed negative actions in a past life with regard to money, money was withheld from me in this life.

Over the years, I realised that every single past life I accessed was really awful. My past lives involved great hardship, war, starvation, illness, emotional trauma, and heart ache. Severe volcanic eruptions, even floods and major earthquakes also featured regularly. I noticed that I was usually dead and buried by the age of 25.

However, accessing and healing a past life always seemed to solve the present problem. But constantly discovering that I had terrible times in my past lives made me wonder, if I was destined yet again to have a terrible life, or could I change it. Can we really make a difference?

Optimising Our Natural Repair Mechanism

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 17:50:50 GMT

Supporting our bodies to cleanse, heal and repair naturally

In this post, I have purposely replaced the term 'immune system' with 'natural repair mechanism' in order to turn the focus away from 'immunity' so that we can think about the natural cleansing, healing and mending functionality of our bodies as a 'repair mechanism' instead.

This helps us to come to a better understanding of the different and complex ways our bodies look after us as we go about our daily lives, and how best we can support and service our in-built repair mechanisms for optimum health.

For example, there are 17 different cancers associated with low Vitamin D levels which means that just optimising time spent in the sunshine during midday with no sunscreen, and by exposing the skin to as much sunlight as possible, is fantastic for our health.

This is why in the Autumn, Winter and Spring, if you live closer to the North Pole than 40 degrees North, or closer to the South Pole than 40 degrees South, then you need to take supplements. It is when our bodies are lacking in nutrients that we see flu and colds in the colder months because people are immuno-suppressed due to their low vitamin D levels.

Nutritional deficiencies

There are common nutritional deficiencies within broad parts of our population such as magnesium and other minerals which is not at all helped by an obsession with reducing cholesterol . The impact of actively 'removing' cholesterol from our bodies is devastating as this deprives our repair mechanism of its healing abilities. There are many things that undermine our repair mechanism and a chronic lack of cholesterol is contributing to the cancer surge which we are experiencing.

Another way to turn off our repair mechanisms is to focus on doom and gloom rather than consciously supporting the most beautiful and robust inbuilt system of repair with which we have been gifted. Our positive thoughts and intentions play a big part in keeping us healthy rather than thinking we are going to achieve anything from a depressed level. It is time for us to wake up to the reality of how destructive poor diet, nutritional deficiencies and negative thoughts can be.

Achieving optimum health

1. Forget about trying to get your cholesterol down, we must allow our body to produce what the need. Those of us whose bodies are good at keeping their cholesterol levels up live longer and fight disease more effectively. High cholesterol was never responsible for heart attacks and neither was fat.

2. Get your vitamin D levels up. Even high quality supplements are not as good as the real thing when full body exposure to sunshine is desirable. However, convention often gets in the way of that so don’t overdo it with those parts that you can expose. The average person needs between 5700 to 10000 IU per day which, in micro grams, is between 125 to 250 mcg. With most suppliers of vitamin D that would mean taking 10 tablets a day in Winter time.

3. Move your body. Get as much exercise or movement into your day as you possibly can because, referring back to item (1) it increases your levels of cholesterol. It is a myth that prolonged exercise wears out your joints. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love to run and when I am not running I am using my multi-gym. I started running long distance when I was 8 years of age and I am now 72. I have no idea what being 72 is supposed to feel like but this is not as bad as I had imagined.

4. Sleep is critical so don’t skimp on this. Aim for 7 hours if you can but 8 hours is better. I just wish I could sleep for 8 hours but not everyone is perfect.

5. What you eat matters a great deal and if you can buy organic food then do so or at least omit mass produced food as much as possible. If you ate an apple in 1950 you would get 26 times the nutrients that you would today so an organic apple (and ideally one picked straight from the tree) goes a long way to making up the difference.

Remember that trees - just like humans - do not respond well to nutrient deficiency, pesticides and herbicides so even if the apples in the supermarket look better, they certainly will not taste better. Pesticides and herbicides are carcinogenic (cancer causing) and also wreak havoc on the insect population which includes bees. We must look after our pollinators as they make it possible for our food to develop in the first place.

6. Watch the sweet stuff because it doesn’t just feed cancer cells but also reduces your levels of vitamin D and C. Scientists who want to deliberately reduce the levels of vitamin D in lab animals feed them high fructose corn syrup.

7. Human contact is essential to our repair mechanism and allows our bodies to learn how to cope with things that we may not have come across yet. It also boosts our feel good factor if it is with people whose company we enjoy.

8. Go hungry so as to burn ketones. Ketones are a clean fuel for the body which means going without food is good for us. Our bodies are designed to run on a duel fuel systems enabling it to swap between ketones and carbohydrates and back again.

It takes time for your body to switch into ketone burning so give yourself at least 12 hours break from eating each day if you can. I never eat before mid-day so that I usually get about 14 hours without food. I can still run 10 miles or more without the need for breakfast which proves that our bodies are much more wonderful than we often realise.

If these protocols are successful in helping to cure cancer then how much benefit can we bring to ourselves by adopting these healthy alternatives in support of our natural repair mechanism?

Sharing knowledge to bring people together and raise our frequencies

Everyone has something to share in wisdom, story or logic and when these insights are brought together, it's amazing to see the connections and missing links discovered by people during their own unique journey.

When information is shared and assimilated, it shows us how we can best approach our future. It is the sharing of genuine insights and links to beneficial knowledge that will ultimately enable us to defeat the dark forces. In order to live in harmony and co-operation with each other we must see the bigger picture which is their greatest fear. The division and isolation of groups is one of the tactics used to make 'we the people' easier to control.

Gathering and sharing knowledge is therefore one of the most important quests of the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI). Unless we can achieve a clear structure of co-operation and take on board the principle of 'knowledge-flow' then we are going nowhere.

The frequency within CABI has changed for the better during the last few weeks and, as more people are discovering us, our growth is steady and sure. The more people who find us and connect with us, the stronger our new reality becomes. Our combined role is to keep it that way and use our efforts to make sure our new Founding Facilitators have a clear understanding of the whole picture and our collective vision for the future. As the saying goes; 'Alone I am a Picasso but in harmony with others I become a Leonardo da Vinci' - even if I do have a rubbish smile.

The more people who understand ethics and decide to join us, the more confident and resilient we become as a community-based network. We are finding each other bit by bit and this is not a quick process which is why it is so important to keep everyone well informed. This is a key driver for the CABI and the more we communicate with each other, the faster others are able to see our light.

However, we should never try to force the pace, and must always operate from a position of deference and respect for the free will of others. As an aside, some of us have learned techniques to clear energy pathways and this is something we are happy to share through the Community Light Brigade .

The motto of CABI is 'Per Opera Ad Astra' which translates as ' Through Service to the Stars .' I chose this because we know that being of service to others and being kind to each other raises our individual spiritual frequencies. In turn, the higher each of our individual spiritual frequencies become the more we are able to raise our collective frequency.

And the higher our collective spiritual frequency the brighter our little light will shine.

Turning on the lights to link people together and transform our collective power

Maybe we all want to have faith in ourselves, in basic decency, in our collective power, in the Golden Rule and in our future.

Organised push back against authoritative over-reach is terrific; focusing on de-funding the 'power elite' is great; public outcries against censorship, election fraud and medical tyranny are all imperative, but if widespread faith in ourselves and the goodness of humanity fails then the cycle will keep repeating itself.

We need to connect people and work together. We need to bypass mainstream news, disruptive social media, fixed elections, and enforced social practices (such as mask-wearing) that push and perpetuate the propaganda narrative. Many websites and podcasts are great, terrific, invaluable but too many are echo-chambers to the choir of people. I keep hearing talk about the numbers but what about those starting to look for answers, those struggling to understand and those who are not even questioning anything yet?

For many months I have been driven by this idea to help speed the awakening, the ascension or the shift by sending a signal to all who are not blind to the truth. If we could get large numbers of people, as many as possible, to turn on their outside lights, for example, festive-type lights (any colours), beacons, or just porch lights. We could join together and keep them on all night in the manner of the truck convoys, bringing like-minded people together. Imagine the conversations, imagine the growing unity, imagine the glow!

Many of us have been trained to keep our heads down and our mouths shut, and we don't engage for fear of a reaction and the futility of trying to inform others. This makes us part of the 'I-would-rather-be-wrong-than-alone' crowd. So even if our next door neighbour is thinking the same things, we never know of it.

Go local, go global. The lights would be meaningful in so many ways - lights in the dark, a light on truth, awareness, awakening representing the lightworkers, the Light Brigade , and so much more. Lights are almost universally available. Lights do not need to be event or date driven. They are completely peaceful, non-confrontational, and highly visible with no need for anyone to go searching the web to know that something is happening. I envision (I hope correctly) that communications are happening in the old-fashioned and most impactful way - face to face, human to human. And as the momentum builds, we will link arms with friends and neighbours, our communities, our countries, and the world.

I remain convinced that there are way more of us ready-and-willing-to-re-believe in the faith in ourselves than there are of those who don't. We just need a way to prove it. Then perhaps the success of all push-back, defunding and public outcry projects become inevitable.

I think it would take at least one 'megaphone' to make this begin. If multiple megaphones would then link arms, it happens.

Gayla Olson

Founding Emissary, Community Assembly of the America

An introduction by John Gilbert, Community Assembly of the British Isles

May we introduce Gayla Olson from New Jersey in the US as the Founding Emissary for the Community Assembly of America . Gayla has been driven by a passion to use lights to announce to the world that we are united and willing to stand up and be counted. My own vision for the Light Brigade is to build a grid of light beacons around the world so that everyone can plug in and draw energy for the stand that we all must make. I see this starting to happen now and the number of groups of people who are plugging into the grid we call the Community Assemblies is increasing by the day. T

There are many around the Earth who feel that the time to stand up to tyranny is now. Gayla is no exception to the growing wave of a will to self-govern and remove the so called 'power-elite' that threaten to devour our society.

The Power Of The Jury

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 13:38:48 GMT

Trial by jury resulting in jail-sentences, resignations and service withdrawal

A court case was held on 13 April 2022 which was tried by jury in Exeter under Natural Law in a Sui Juris Court . The proceedings were instigated by Hannah Badr (now Honourable Sheriff of the British Isles) and judicated by John Gilbert, Community Peace Constable.

The Community Law Court’s claim against (amongst others) Phil Norry the Chief Executive Officer at Devon County Council is that he aided and abetted to ensure that the claimant, Hannah Badr, remained in harm’s way and that he conspired with others to place Hannah Badr’s three sons into social care and involved the police in this attempt. This was all over an initial claim for bus passes. The stress of this caused Hanna Badr to develop an allergic reaction to her life saving medication and put her life at risk accordingly.

Other defendants working for Devon County Council were included in the order issued relating to the same case as was Mr Babcock of Babcock Education. None of the defedants appeared in court and, over the course of one day, all the evidence was presented to the jury who returned a unanimous decision recommending a conviction for all parties. Under normal circumstances, the jury's decision should have resulted in jail-time for the defendants.

You can watch the full trial on video on our Community Law Court page here .

Devon and Cornwall Police have refused to uphold the decision of the jury claiming that we the people lacked jurisdiction. That in itself begs the question of just who’s jurisdiction are they accepting as, we the people, are the highest authority in the land. This must mean that the police do not serve the people and begs the question of just why we the people are paying their salaries.

However, Phil Norry has now resigned his position with Devon County Council. The orders against him included a minimum 5 year prison term which was extended to 15 years by order of the jury due to the extensive campaign against Hannah Badr and her three sons.

Phil Norry has still to answer all of the orders which were issued on 13 April 2022 and the Community Law Courts are maintaining the pressure by adding a further investigation. Norry is at least out of his job and can no longer abuse his position.

In addition, Babcock Education suddenly stopped providing services to Devon County Council and people are refusing to pay council tax because of Hannah's outstanding remedy and the ongoing issues of harassment? The refusal to pay Council Tax on the grounds that we the people would be supporting a fraudulent organisation is growing.

Hannah has been increasing the pressure by adding another investigation to the list and she is looking to carry out a class action recruiting 100 people to challenge the councils right to demand council tax.

Six Techniques to Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 15:10:59 GMT

The wandering regulator of our 'rest and digest' nervous system

Several studies have shown that chronic dysregulation and inflammation in the vagus nerve triggers chemical signals which drive overeating. There’s a lot of new emerging evidence that vagus nerve stimulation can be used to treat obesity and vagus nerve stimulation devices are now hitting the market.

But you don’t have to be obese to benefit and you don’t need a device to stimulate the vagus nerve. They’ve known this in Eastern cultures for millennia and we’re finally catching on in the West!

What is the Vagus Nerve?

The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and it’s also the longest and most complex cranial nerve. The name ‘vagus’ comes from the Latin meaning ‘wandering’ or ‘straying’.

It’s called 'The Wanderer' because it goes from the brain stem to the the throat, heart and respiratory system. Another branch then extends to the gut where it supplies the pancreas, liver gall bladder, small intestine and reproductive system. This nerve forms the key regulator of our parasympathetic - or ‘rest and digest’ - nervous system.

In recent years, we’ve learned more and more about the gut-brain axis and it’s crucial role in gut-brain communication.

The other key player in the gut-brain axis is our collection of gut bacteria - or the gut microbiome - which also send out powerful chemical signals that profoundly influence our biology.

Combined, the two play a defining role in sensing and regulating everything that’s happening with metabolism, glucose balance and appetite. They’re also key players in regulating heart rate variability (which is a key marker of health) immune signalling and inflammation, hormone health and the neurotransmitters that influence our mood.

We now know that 80% of the communication goes from our gut to our brain - whereas at one time we thought it was the other way round. The vagus nerve is the nerve key pathway in this process. However, when we live in a chronic state of stress, the vagus nerve loses its ability to kick in and we can get stuck in a state of fight or flight with no ability to switch off.

Because the gut-brain axis is a two-way street, this causes disruption to our gut microbiome. Eventually, the vagus nerve can go into a state of hypoarousal (underarousal) and ‘exhaustion’ which is a key factor in depression. This, along with the immune dysregulation that comes with vagus nerve disfunction, is thought to be a key factor in the exhaustion element of chronic fatigue, post viral illness and auto-immune diseases.

Although the biology is complicated, it’s worth remembering this: Vagus nerve dysfunction puts us at risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, heart disease, depression anxiety and autoimmune diseases.

This is why sending ‘safety signals’ to our bodies is crucial for weight loss, metabolic health and overall physical and emotional wellbeing. We also feel much better are less prone to burnout and depression and have better regulated immunity when the vagus nerve is functioning at its best.

Six techniques to stimulate your vagus nerve

True to form, it wasn’t long after researchers found out the crucial role the vagus nerve plays in health and weight loss, they started coming up with marketable devices to stimulate vagal response. These currently retail at about £1000 each!

No doubt these have their place but the good news is you definitely don’t need a device and there are multiple techniques you can do at home to stimulate your vagus nerve with no special equipment, totally free of charge.

1. Deep breathing exercises

James Nestor said that, without proper breathing technique, any other health intervention is useless. I’m not sure I agree that other interventions are useless but breathing well is key and many of us are so stuck in a chronic fight-or-flight response that our breathing is chronically impaired.

Take some time to notice how often you hold your breath and clench your jaw. You may not but many people do and it sends out danger signals, switching the vagus nerve into ‘off’ mode.

One quick way to activate your vagus nerve is to practice a 7-11 breathing technique.

You can do this anywhere. To begin, start by focusing on tuning into your body. Where are you breathing? Are you breathing up into your chest or down into your abdomen?

Check into any tension, acknowledge it and give it permission to release. Often, just acknowledging tension is enough to start allowing it to dissipate.

When you’re ready, begin to breathe in for a count of seven. Pause for a moment and breathe out for a count of eleven. By making the out breath longer than the in-breath biological safety signals kick in and your vagus nerve comes back online.

If you think about a time in the past when a stressful or dangerous situation has passed you may recall ‘breathing a sigh of relief’. This is your body’s own way of getting your vagus nerve back into balance. We can override the need to wait for it to happen naturally by extending the out-breath.

Breathe through your nose, where possible because this allows your vagus nerve to come back online and your parasypathetic nervous system to kick in.

Mouth breathing is biologically designed for when we need to flee immediate danger. It’s an essential device but one that’s only meant to be used in situations where we need to get enough oxygen to physically flee. To breathe through your mouth is to tell your biology that danger is imminent and that it needs to be on standby. This puts it in a state of stress and chronic inflammation, which underpins all chronic ‘diseases of civilisation’, including overweight and obesity.

2. Gargling and humming

The vagus nerve supplies the throat and its muscles. When you hum or gargle you directly stimulate this nerve. Spend some time in the morning gargling with water or humming. 60 seconds of gargling or humming is enough to start ‘waking up’ your vagus nerve.

3. Cold water therapy

Research has shown that cold water therapy stimulates the vagus nerve. Even splashing cold water on your face can make a difference.

4. Eye movement

Research has shown that eye movement can stimulate blood flow to the vertebral artery and stimulate the vagus nerve as it passes through the neck. This is a central component of well-established Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy which is used to treat trauma very effectively. Trauma treatment should be done with a specialist but by taking 60 seconds or so just to move your eyes from left to right, you can activate the vagus nerve. You may want to choose one of the other exercises if prone to headaches or motion sickness. You can also stimulate the vagus nerve by focusing on a near focal point followed by a distant focal point and back again.

5. Yoga

The combined movement and breathing of yoga is exceptional for developing healthy vagal tone. Humming-bee yoga breath is another excellent yogic breathing technique for vagus nerve activation.

6. Spend time in nature

One of the most pleasurable ways to reset the vagus nerve is to spend time in nature. It’s no coincidence that you feel more relaxed in green spaces. There’s now lots of evidence to support the regulating effect of nature on the vagus nerve.

‘Gut health’ and the gut microbiome

‘Gut health’ is the other key component in our gut-brain axis which affects every area of our health -including metabolic health, hormone balance, immunity mood regulation and weight regulation.

Our gut microbiome refers to the ‘gut home’ of the ‘friendly’ commensal bacterial that live within the lower part of our digestive system. The ‘good’ bacteria help to keep ‘bad’ bacteria in check.

An unhealthy balance of bacteria in the gut can cause a disruption of hunger and fullness signalling. Research has shown a link to excessive amounts of certain bacteria can affect your pituitary gland which plays a role in regulating appetite. This gland can then affect the balance of bacteria in your gut and it becomes a vicious cycle.

It’s estimated that we have anywhere between 30 and 400 trillion different bacteria in the gut and diversity of good bacteria is key to good health. Our microbiota (the types of bacteria that live within our microbiome) are unique to us and we have around 200 different species when healthy.

A few key roles of a healthy gut microbiome are:

Regulation and synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters
Facilitation of absorption of vitamins and minerals and macronutrients
Plays an essential role in regulating inflammation
Plays an essential role in regulating the immune system
Contributes to healthy regulation of oestrogen
Produces some micronutrients such as vitamins B12 and K2

These helpful bacteria help you break down food in to nutrients it can use and the chemical by-products of that process known as Short Chain Fatty Acids. SCFAs play several key roles in health and there’s emerging evidence to show they also play a role in weight loss. Emerging evidence is showing that SCFAs play a role in blood sugar regulation and improved insulin sensitivity.

There is even a specific part of your gut microbiome known as the oestrobolome. The oestrobolome is a specific collection of bacterial in your gut that is capable of modulating and metabolising your body’s circulating oestrogen.

Studies have shown that in Western countries, we are likely to have an abundance of the group of bacteria known as firmicutes and fewer bacteria from the bacteriodetes group. Firmicutes thrive on a high refined carbohydrate diet and behave like ‘mini macerators’. This allows them to break down foods into their smaller components and causes us to take up more energy from our foods. Some research says that energy uptake is increased by around 12.5% with a high firmucute to bacteriodetes ratio.

A high firmicute ratio can also cause us to crave refined carbohydrates. It’s believed the bacteria use chemical signalling to facilitate this so they get access to their ‘food of choice’ which allows them to thrive.

When the gut microbiome is healthy, the oestrobolome produces optimal levels of an enzyme known as betaglucuronidase. Too much of this enzyme causes an imbalance in oestrogen.

A healthy gut microbiome needs fibre to thrive. Some simple ways of improving diversity in the gut microbiome and encouraging gut health are:

Adding plenty of fibre from whole plant foods to your diet. Both soluble and insoluble fibre provide food that encourages a healthy and diverse gut microbiome. Most plants have both types but artichokes, chickpeas, black beans, lentils, chia seeds, flax seeds, oats, hazel nuts, broccoli, avocado, carrots and berries are high in soluble fibre. Spinach, radishes, healthy wholegrains, legumes, pulses and cruciferous vegetables are good sources of insoluble fibre.

Only use medication when essential. Medications can seriously damage the gut microbiome. Of course, medications are sometimes essential and can be lifesaving - its over-use that causes the damage. Medications of particular concern are antibiotics, antacid medication and antiinflammatories. Always take them according to your doctor’s advice and, if you do need to take these medicines, it’s worth putting extra effort into restoring gut health afterwards.

Eat diverse foods - think of eating a rainbow. A wide variety of plant foods will provide nourishment for a wide variety of ‘healthy’ bacteria. The different phytonutrients in plant foods appeal to different bacteria. By eating a ‘rainbow’ of coloured veg and other plants, you can ensure you’re getting the widest possible variety of phytonutrients to support your gut health.

Limit alcohol. Alcohol can have a devastating effect on our gut microbiome - limit it where possible.

Practice relaxation techniques: The vagus nerve directly influences our gut and our gut microbiomes. Practising the vagus nerve stimulating techniques above can have a beneficial effect on your gut microbiome.

Limit simple sugars, refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods. In excess, these have a negative effect on our gut microbiomes and cause the excess growth of bad bacteria.

Limit stress: Our gut microbiomes can trigger chemical stress signals but stress can also damage our gut and negatively impact our gut microbiomes. Stress can contribute to ‘leaky gut’ where the normally tight junctions of the large intestine walls separate, allowing toxic by products (such as lipopolysaccarides) to enter the bloodstream, causing inflammation which contributes to poor metabolic health.

Limit exposure to environmental toxins. Easier said than done but excessive exposure to every day pollutants will negatively impact gut health.

Exercise. Moderate - but not excessive - exercise can positively impact your gut microbiome.

Achieving true health

For me, unless we address the physical, emotional and energetic, we'll never achieve true health.

That's a big ask in a sick society that values productivity and monetary value over creativity and humanity - but I believe we still have a duty to strive for the balance we all deserve.

A Day In Court

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 09:24:29 GMT

Who is top dog - we is!

I received a call from Hannah Badr on 25 July 2022 to say that she was holding a Sui Juris Court on 26 July 2022 at Newcourt Community Centre in Exeter to try a civil case. She said that she had received word and threats that the police were going to make arrests for holding an illegal court.

I agreed to attend as a Community Peace Constable and informed the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary that I would be in attendance to ensure that the correct procedures were followed.

05:30 on the Tuesday morning and I was up, shaved and dressed and studying the Peace Keeper notes regarding the rights and lawful powers of the people.

When that was completed, I set out for Exeter and arrived at 10:30 am. The first thing I did was to check around the outside of the building and nearby streets to make sure there wasn’t a police presence skulking nearby. I then questioned the people who were attending the trial to see if they had any training in the law, or if they were ex-military or ex-police. There were three people who had received dubious training but one who had completed the Peacekeeper training which would certainly come in handy. We have to remember that the police do not speak Common Law or Natural Law and close their ears to anything which doesn’t sound familiar to them so we need to talk judicial law and equity.

It is a common misconception with police officers that they hold the high ground when it comes to authority and for this reason find it difficult to understand that the highest authority in the land is we the people. I know that you are not used to me being serious but this is important. This little known fact has legal standing.

If someone tries to say that the ultimate authority is the crown then consider this - the Queen has to swear to rule in accordance with the laws and traditions of the people - so the Queen is the servant of the people and can only rule by our consent.

The judiciary have to abide by the laws which are made in our courts and no law can take precedence over common sense. If it doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of an applied mind then it isn’t a law no matter what its tittle.

The constabulary are duty bound to protect people and property and are servants of the people. Any Police Constable who claims he is taking orders from any other authority other than the people has resigned his position. Police officers by comparison are appointed by a corporation and only have authority within that corporation.

Parliament can create 'acts' which only applies to those who join in the 'act' and so it is by consent only and legislation is not law and has to pass the applied mind test.

So who is top dog? We is. I bet Sue edits that bit. So get rid of the fear when talking to any authority because they cannot order you to do anything unless you consent.

Hannah Badr was court judicator and briefed the jury of thirteen women and men, and conducted the reading of the oath and then let the jury do their thing. In a court of the people, it is the jury that runs the court and it is up to the judicator to help the people taking part. It is up to the Community Peace Constable to ensure that the people are kept safe from external interference and the judicator to make sure that there is no internal interference.

Hannah Badr is the first to admit that this is a massive learning curve for us all and each case should be more professional than the last because we are all learning. Hannah is the Honourable Sheriff of the British Isles .

As it was everything went smoothly and without any interference and the jury returned a verdict after reviewing all the evidence whilst I entertained the other participants by explaining personal frequencies and unblocking energies.

Once we had all re-assembled, one member of the jury read out the findings and the decisions of the whole jury and laid out the actions required.

There is something immensely satisfying and empowering about being a part of a system which gives everyone the same consideration. All in all, a successful day which would be recognised in Natural Law as the 'correct outcome returned by the jury.'

A Meeting of Minds in Norfolk

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 14:12:49 GMT

This is a video created with photographs, narrative and instrumental music in appreciation of a beautiful homestead in Norfolk, taken on a visit to meet the most welcoming local community members in the garden on a hot sunny day.

There is a wonderful ethos underlying people and communities who live in harmony with nature and natural law which is to cause no harm, care for the land, work with nature and look after each other as peaceful, discerning and creative members of a shared community.

It is these fundamental community values that have brought local groups and Community Assemblies together across the British Isles to work with each other, and with nature and natural law. With the ongoing formation, expansion and growth of registered local Community Assemblies in association with the Community Assembly of the British Isles, we are making great progress in realising our shared vision .

A special thanks to Nigel Webber for organising such a wonderful event and for bringing people together on Facebook . In particular, friends who are interested in the Community Assemblies in Norfolk and those who support A Stand In The Park which, I am delighted to note, has grown to represent 100,000 members across 900 parks in 20 countries.

Everyone brought picnics and gave John Gilbert and I the warmest welcome. When we presented the concept of the Community Assembly of the British Isles, the feedback was wholly positive, igniting a lively discussion and sharing of ideas which is what it's all about.

Also, many thanks to Nigel for giving me permission to work with and share photographs of his beautiful home where nature thrives and friends in the community are always welcome.

Thank you everyone for a very special day.

WELCOME! (Addendum)

We are delighted to announce that since writing this post the Community Assembly of North Norfolk is now enlisted as part of the CABI network. The result of local people working hard to join together to learn how to best preserve the beauty of this stunning part of the world and work together as a community .

The Intelligent Heart by Deborah Rozman

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 12:50:14 GMT

In this lecture, psychologist, Deborah Rozman Ph.D., executive of the HeartMath Institute , presents findings of their academic research into Heart Rate Variability and Coherence. This work underpins a model that enables people to align their heart, brain and intuition to achieve higher potential without necessarily using spiritual language.

Heart Rate Variability

Our hearts have been considered the source of emotion, courage and wisdom for centuries, beating at an average rate of 70 bpm. Research carried out by the HeartMath Institute found that every heart beat changes to create a pattern of heart rhythm which informs the brain.

In the 1990s, it was discovered that the heart has its own brain which can sense, feel, learn and remember, and that it has its own intrinsic nervous system. Founding contributors of the HeartMath Institute were among the first to conduct research during this time that not only looked at how stressful emotions affect the activity in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hormonal and immune systems, but also at the effects of emotions such as appreciation, compassion and care.

It became clear that when someone is feeling stressed, frustrated, angry, anxious or worried, the heart's rhythmic pattern becomes jagged and irregular, and these signals are sent to the brain.

On the other hand, when someone is feeling love, genuine care, compassion and kindness, the heart rhythm pattern resembles a consistent, harmonious, beautiful flow which is sent to the brain in the same way.

Signals sent from the heart brain directly affect our blood pressure, ANS regulation, emotional memory, cortical activity and our thinking brain. All these areas synchronise with our heart beat rhythm which is immediately influenced by our 'heart-felt' feelings.

Heart Rate Variability Coherence

It is now proven by the HeartMath Institute that we can train ourselves to change our baseline brain response to reduce stress and connect to our higher intuitive guidance.

Being in a Coherent State when our heart rhythm patterns resemble a beautiful flow (or Flow State) differs from relaxation which, although extremely beneficial, does not put us in an alert, present state of mind. Achieving the right combination of relaxation and coherency puts us into a Power Heart State, which is when we really get into the flow of creativity, productivity and focused activity. This global synchronisation is the optimum state for health, performance, empowering behavioural change and connection to our 'inner knowing' or intuition.

Heart Intelligence

The emergence of heart intelligence in society will present a breakthrough in

consciousness and understanding, leading humanity into a new frontier of

perceptual experience and transformation.

* Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Intuitive Guidance of the Heart

Doc Childre, Howard Martin, Deborah Rozman, Rollin McCraty

It's a big paradigm shift to know that our brains are not controlling everything and that our hearts are sending more signals to the brain telling us what to do, than our brains are telling us what to do. The HeartMath Institute have found that a whopping 90% of messages to the brain come from our heart brain and our bodies. This turns everything upside down in terms of our physiology.

In summary, Heart Intelligence is the flow of awareness that happens when our heart, brain, mind and emotions are in coherent alignment. This represents a sincere shift to focus on the heart centre where 'heart-felt' expressions of love, care, compassion and appreciation increase our personal coherence which simultaneously radiates out of us.

This has a tremendous impact on social and global coherence where we all play an important role in training ourselves to increase the love radiating from our hearts and to make sure that our intentions are beneficial to ourselves, to others and our living planet Earth as a whole.

Light Brigade Frequencies

The work of the HeartMath Institute corroborates the work being done by healers of the Community Light Brigade who work with members of the Community Assembly of the British Isles, clients and the general population to raise and balance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual frequencies.

This is achieved through consultation and individual one-to-one support, especially when it is necessary to identify, work through and release any unresolved issues or trauma. Or, Community Light Brigade members work collectively to clear blockages and pave the way for the general population to access their inherent healing powers and intuition.

A key role of the Light Brigade is helping us all to increase our heart frequencies through loving intention, compassion, humility and service to each other.

Special thanks

Our special thanks to Linda Hardy, Member of the Community Assembly of the British Isles, who introduced us to the work of the HeartMath Institute.

Summer Solstice Sunrise

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 15:35:29 GMT

The energy of the sunrise forming vectors in circles like a vortex

At 4.15 I set off to Allington Hill Bridport for the Summer Solstice.

At the bottom of the hill I spotted the last quarter of the full moon. (see below).

It was still a little dark in the wooded areas so I kept to a main path to look for a good place. I came across the perfect place although I wasn’t exactly sure if the sun would be rising there, but I checked my compass on my phone and knew this was the place I needed to be.

It was very quiet and I was on my own.

I thought I would chant AUM 21 times and I sang an Incantation, as I do in my daily practices.

From Darkness to Light
From Ignorance to Enlightenment
From Mortality Immortality
May I be led. Peace

After I finished there were rumblings like furniture being moved on a wooden floor above me, I looked up but could not see anything only some very small clouds and blue sky.

I then looked over to the sunrise area, and the sky had what looked like vectors, as the clouds above it changed they were amazing.

I saw the vectors form circles like a vortex. I felt this was a huge energy frequency taking place.

I took a few photos of this amazing display. I drove home singing I was so happy.

Breach Of The Peace

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:04:25 GMT

How to deal with unlawful arrest and spurious police behaviour

Learning opportunity

This is an account of an incident which took place in Camborne, Cornwall. This account reflects only the perceptions of myself, the attending Community Peace Constable (John Gilbert) and is meant to open discussions with other Community Peace Keepers and Community Peace Constables, and to highlight the importance of working as a team.

Every incident is a learning opportunity to perfect and enhance our performance and our ability to protect and serve the people. We must remember that during this transition period we need to instil a sense of confidence in the people so that they can develop their abilities without the hindrance of fear.

Breach of the peace

At 11:09 hours on the day in question, I received a call from a Community Assembly (CA) member to say that in watching a 'pop-up' injection facility at Tesco car park near the top end of Camborne main street, it had been observed that the staff of the injection facility had not been handing out information that would have given the participants in the experimental medical treatment, informed consent.

This would constitute a breach of the peace and was in violation of both the Nuremburg Code and the binding precedence of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board 2015.

Rapid response

I attended the scene at 11:32 hrs and there was no evidence of information being handed out but there were leaflets on the table. The staff of the 'pop-up' injection facility refused to allow me to examine a leaflet so I couldn’t determine whether they would be lawful if they did hand them out. I then observed three people being injected without any evidence of informed consent at all.

There were two marshals 'guarding' the temporary facility and both were very aggressive and didn’t want to allow any inspection of what they were doing. Bear in mind that this is a public place and they can’t claim that it is off limits.

Serious offence

I then informed all the staff that were in earshot that they would be in breach of the peace if they didn’t hand out information regarding the experimental medical procedure and that it was a very serious offence. I was then allowed to read the information which they had at the site which in my opinion could not constitute informed consent. The staff then started handing out these leaflets to the volunteers partaking in the experimental procedure.

One of the marshals engineered an incident by pushing the Community Assembly member but fortunately it was captured on CCTV as the marshal claimed that she had been pushed by the CA member.

Police arrest

Three police officers then arrived at the scene (with two other police acting as backup) and they started questioning the two marshals. They then went over to the CA member who was promptly arrested. I tried to intervene and asked why the arrest was being made and was told that it was common assault. I then asked why I had not been interviewed as I was a witness and they claimed that I would be interviewed at a later date if they felt it necessary. I told them that I was a witness and the female marshal had assaulted the CA member but they refused point blank to listen to my statement. I said that they had performed the arrest without a full appraisal of the situation and they stated that they had the right to do that.

I talked to one remaining police officer and informed him that informed consent must be carried out for every medical procedure and that I had observed that this was not being done when I first arrived. I also advised him that to not grant informed consent was a very serious breach of the peace. He asked me if there was any message which I would like conveyed to the staff of the injection centre and I asked him to reinforce what I had already told them about informed consent. The police officer asked me what the legal basis was for my claim and I informed him that it was Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board 2015 and also informed him of the Nuremburg Code.

Access refused unlawfully

I then went to Camborne Police Station to make a statement and was refused access to the custody sergeant and told that I would be contacted in due course for my statement.

I contacted our legal team and was advised to make a full statement and take it in to the police station and insist that it was given to the custody sergeant. I duly requested that the document was signed for and dated. No one would take the statement and no one would sign for it.

No charges on release

I returned three times to the police station and each time I had been denied access, however, on the third occasion I had managed to talk to a senior officer and warned him that he was committing an offence by refusing to take a statement from an eye witness and that I would be lodging a formal complaint. The CA member was then released within 10 minutes of my final visit and I turned the car around and gave her a lift back to her car. The police did not press charges and CCTV footage confirmed our statements.

Safety in numbers

This is a totally disgusting display by both the police and the injection team and we really do need to consider why we are paying for such services. There are lessons to be learned here in that we are still short of Community Peace Constables and Community Peace Keepers as every incident should be attended by three Community Peace Keepers which constitutes one person plus two witnesses.

Join the Peace Keepers

If you are interested in becoming a Community Peace Keeper or Community Peace Constable, the initial online training course for both positions can be found on the Peace Keepers website.

This course is free of charge as Peace Keepers was created to assist and give something back to our communities.

We are looking for people from all backgrounds who have the desire to uphold the rule of Natural Law so that together we can hold the current system to account.

The programme is for anyone who has:

Common sense
Willingness to learn new skills
A desire to up hold the rule of law
Self motivated
Honesty and integrity
Hold those who do wrong accountable

We hope you will consider joining us and look forward to hearing from you.

Cholesterol is Good For You!

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 11:55:43 GMT

Find out why cholesterol is essential for your good health

Cholesterol has acquired a bad reputation in the past six decades or so and most people seem to think that it is bad in all forms. Certainly people believe there is one kind of 'good cholesterol' but in general they believe that numbers should be low.

Recently, certain government organisations have reversed their position on cholesterol claiming that it is no longer 'a nutrient of concern' and that it may not be dangerous when obtained from whole-food sources and non-processed foods. This is something that many doctors and health researchers have known for decades but it is good to see this official reversal. It is unfortunate that for decades we have been told that cholesterol 'causes' heart disease and that it is important to avoid foods like butter and eggs which are not the enemy at all.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is an organic molecule that is essential for all animal life. Classified as a sterol, it is found in the cell membrane of animal tissues and is a necessary precursor for steroid hormones and bile salts in the body.

Cholesterol can be found in certain foods and it is also created by the body on a daily basis. In fact, the body creates more than a person consumes through diet synthesising over 1,000 mg of cholesterol, in total, while obtaining only an average of about 300 mg from food.

This is part of the reason why dietary amounts don’t necessarily relate to total cholesterol in the body and why avoiding dietary sources wouldn’t necessarily be effective, even if cholesterol was problematic. Only about a quarter of the cholesterol used by the body on a daily basis comes from diet, with the majority being created in the body, making more to compensate if dietary consumption decreases.

The Benefits of Cholesterol

Writing that cholesterol is beneficial may seem crazy in light of the dietary dogma of the last half century but its importance is well-supported by research. Cholesterol is highly beneficial and supports the following vital processes in the body:

Formation and maintenance of cell walls
Nerve cells as insulation
The liver uses it to make bile, which is needed for digestion of fats
A precursor to Vitamin D and in the presence of sunlight where cholesterol converts into Vitamin D
Creation of vital hormones, including sex hormones
Support for the immune system by improving t-cell signalling which may fight inflammation
Absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A,D, E and K)
A precursor for making the steroid hormones cortisol and aldosterone which are necessary for regulation of circadian rhythms (sleep–wake cycle) weight, mental health and more
Used in the uptake of serotonin in the brain
May serve as an antioxidant in the body
Used in the maintenance of cell walls, including the cells in the digestive system, there is evidence that cholesterol is necessary for gut integrity and avoiding leaky gut

Additionally, the body sends cholesterol from the liver to places of inflammation and tissue damage to help with repairs.

Cholesterol-rich foods are the main dietary source of the B-vitamin choline, which is vital for the brain, liver and nervous system. Choline is vital during pregnancy and for proper development in children. Only 10% of the population meets the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for choline!

The Bottom Line on Cholesterol

Dietary cholesterol does not significantly affect blood levels and is no longer considered a 'nutrient of concern' when it comes to heart disease.

Low cholesterol is also correlated with mental problems like dementia and several types of cancers so the idea of taking drugs specifically to lower serum levels warrants further scrutiny, especially in segments of the population (like children, women, and men over age 50) when there is no correlation to heart disease to begin with!

In a groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Disease in 2015, scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute proved that cardiovascular disease is essentially an early form of the vitamin C deficiency disease scurvy. Building on a discovery made by Dr. Rath in the early 1990s, the publication of this study dealt major blows to the cholesterol theory of heart disease and the pharmaceutical industry’s multibillion-dollar annual sales in cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

Natural Treatments

People with atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis or who are suffering from angina can manage their condition and reverse it by using natural treatments such as combinations of vitamin C, lysine, proline, N-acetyl-glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and copper in the correct quantities.

At the end of the day, we are each responsible for our own health with emerging evidence that exonerates cholesterol as a culprit in heart disease.

Metal Detox Cleanse

A powerful natural recipe to cleanse the body of harmful toxins

Cleansing metal detox

Most of us would agree that our environment is not what it should be when as living organisms optimal conditions would be pure fresh air, clean water and food grown in rich organic soil free from harmful chemicals.

Instead our air, water and soils are riddled with pollution particles and toxic waste, and processed foods and medicines contain many 'trace elements' that we have been led to believe are tiny enough not to make a difference. The problem is that our bodies are natural ecosystems and as soon as we introduce anything artificial, our immunity is activated to deal with it, either by expelling it (through a runny nose and so on) or storing it in fat cells so it cannot cause any immediate harm.

This works for a while but if we keep consuming these traces on a daily basis they begin to mount up and we start to feel stressed or poorly as our immune system is unable to cope. This is when an excess of toxins and pathogens are released into the body and more serious symptoms start to surface.

I am not an expert in this so please do your own research. I have been a natural remedy person since an early age so I have learned a lot along the way and met some remarkable people who generously share their experiences and practical knowledge. I hope this will stimulate you to take an interest in natural health and go out of your way to find information that rings true with you.

The following recipe is based on a reliable source (an experienced naturopath) with some additional ingredients I discovered more recently to add to the cleansing power of this remedy. It is a recipe I make for myself and some of my friends who are brave enough to take the bitter taste first thing.

It is part of my daily routine and it keeps my insides clean. I have been doing this for several years now so I highly recommend reading Cleanse to Heal and exploring the Medical Medium website which is where I started a few years ago. It can take a while to get to the point where your body is free of artificial or adverse elements and it's best to take it slowly if you are new to this type of cleansing.

If you have any existing conditions or are taking any pharmaceutical medications always seek medical advice. Finding a natural healer or doctor who advocates natural healing is always a good idea. Our bodies are capable of healing themselves if we understand what the causes are and give ourselves the right support, protocols and nourishment.

Ingredients

1 tin x whole beans (any variety)

3 tbs x Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid (powder)

2 x whole Lemons - roughly chopped

2 x whole frozen Lemons - roughly chopped (once thawed or cooked slightly)

2 x whole frozen Grapefuit peel (just the peel) - already chopped to freeze

5 tbs x Dried Star Anise

3 tbs x Dried Fennel Seeds

4 springs (tips) x Pine Needles (Christmas Tree)

3" x fresh Ginger - chopped

5 lts of filtered water (or enough to fill the pan)

Cooking instructions

1) Strain the beans and mash thoroughly with the Ascorbic Acid - add to a large saucepan.

2) Chop the pine needles into the pan and add all the other ingredients.

3) Fill the pan with water and bring to the boil before simmering with the lid on for 4 hours.

4) Top up after 2 hours with filtered water.

5) Keep the lid on at the end of the cooking time to preserve the Quinine and other trace nutrients.

6) Strain into another large saucepan or large bowl, repeat if necessary to remove all the bits.

Storage instructions

1) Heat the over to 140°C / 275°F / Gas Mark 1.

2) Thoroughly wash 4 x 250gm glass bottles or jars in soapy water and rinse well.

3) Place on baking paper on a baking tray and heat for 20 minutes.

4) While the jars are in the oven, place the lids in a saucepan of water, and boil for twenty minutes.

5) Thoroughly clean your funnel if using one to fill the glass bottles.

6) Fill the bottles or jars leaving the lids off until the liquid is cool.

7) Put the lids on and label with: name, ingredients (optional), date made and dosage (see below).

8) Store in the fridge.

Daily dosage

1) Shake before use.

2) Drink 8 fl oz or 237 ml daily - preferably in the morning before eating any food.

3) It is bitter to taste and you can add honey although it won't make that much difference.

4) Down in one!

What to expect

This remedy is full of nutrients with active ingredients that will gently and gradually seek out and remove any pathogens, toxins and trace metals that might be stored in our bodies. Whilst the remedy extracts anything in your body that shouldn't be there, the body then needs to repel the toxins. Be prepared for this by expecting a good flush out every morning, if not several times to begin with. Try and cut out processed food and eat more vegetable bulk to carry the toxins out of your body such a sweet potato, courgettes, wholegrain rice, lentils and so on. This will keep things moving.

Further information

You can find other Metal Detox recipes in the brilliant Cleanse to Heal by Medical Medium. This book will give you all the information you need about what to avoid and how to cleanse your body in a way that will set you on the right track for the rest of your life. When you understand the power of 'whole food' and the potential harm of what I call 'non-food' or processed food, you can start to take control over your health and make informed choices that are better for you in the long run.

Homeopathy and Homeopathic Remedies Explained

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 10:41:13 GMT

Learn about the principles of homeopathy for your good health

What are Homeopathic remedies?

The principles of homeopathy were originally developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) who was a German physician to the royal family. His homeopathic principles are based in the law of similars, also known as "like cures like."

Homeopathy is a type of natural medicine that uses very small doses of plants, minerals, animals and chemicals to treat the causes of illness and disease. As practising homeopaths, this means we look at whatever toxicological symptoms the substance causes and once these symptoms have been noted in detail, we use minute doses of the substance to treat an illness with those same symptoms.

The logic is that your body does whatever it can to survive and your symptoms are the result of the doctor inside of you (your immune system) working to defend you and heal you. Your symptoms are part of your defences. The very word, symptom means sign or signal, and symptoms are simply the body reacting to whatever it is trying to fix. Turning off that signal only suppresses the symptoms and does nothing to cure the patient.

Homeopathic medicines rarely bring about instant relief and, in about 20 percent of patients with chronic illness, there is a healing crisis at first and their symptoms get worse in the first 48 hours. Sometimes they re-experience old symptoms they haven't had in many months, years or even decades. This is the body reversing the damage and working backwards to the start of the illness. In many cases allopathic medications (pharmaceutical medications) have suppressed symptoms which need to re-emerge before the body can get past that point.

Allopathic medications are effective at suppressing a symptom and a disease, and from a homeopathic point of view, the reason there's more mental illness, more cancer and heart disease, chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction is because we treat illness in a suppressive way.

Known as the second most widely used system of medicine in the world, homeopathy is based on three fundamental treatment principles:

Like cures like - If the symptoms of your cold are similar to poisoning by mercury, then mercury would be your homeopathic remedy.
Minimal dose - The remedy is taken in an extremely dilute form; normally one part remedy to around 1,000,000,000,000 parts of water.
The single remedy - No matter how many symptoms the patient experiences, the practitioner will try to match a single remedy that will be aimed at all of those symptoms.

Homeopathy was the leading treatment until …

In 1860 the American Medical Association (AMA) felt so threatened by the success of homeopathy that they wrote into their ethics code that if any conventional doctor simply consulted with a homeopath on a patient, they would lose their membership in the AMA. In the 1860's, that meant you lost your medical license until, finally, the homeopaths organised and created a separate medical board. So, at least if you got your license revoked from the AMA, you could still practice as a homeopath. This was the start of the divergence of medical practices.

Homeopathy was the leading therapy until 1910 when the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research and the Carnegie Foundation in secret collaboration with the American Medical Association (AMA) published the "Flexner Report” with the aim of replacing homeopathy and other natural medicines with chemical drugs.

Is there scientific evidence that homeopathy works?

The media will typically tell you there's no evidence that homeopathy works. In reality, there are more than 300 double-blind and placebo-controlled trials published in peer-reviewed medical journals, including The Lancet, The British Medical Journal (BMJ), American College of Chest Physicians, American Cancer Society, British Society for Rheumatology, Paediatric Infectious Diseases Journal, and many more. Many of the best journals in the world have published positive studies on homeopathy. Whenever you hear people say there's no evidence that homeopathy works, they are either misinforming you or directly lying.

Remember that the big pharmaceutical companies advertise on TV so that they can own the news. That's one reason why we're not getting accurate information about natural therapies and about the importance of vaccine safety. If you think conventional medicine is scientific, please know statistics show that, last year, enough drugs were prescribed to give every man, woman and child in America 13 prescription drugs. Yet there's no evidence of safety or efficacy of multiple drugs together. They don't do science that way. The evidence base is really limited.

The AMA has also gone to great lengths to keep homeopathy suppressed, and if it weren't for the AMA, there'd be a whole lot more scientific research backing homeopathy.

Homeopathic Remedies and How To Use Them by John Gilbert

Group Activation for High Vibration

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 10:36:34 GMT

How we can work together to raise spiritual frequencies

A major shift happened at the last Full Moon on 14th June, I'm sure you know that and have alluded to it.

What is happening now is that each willing soul who chooses to move into the higher light is activating three other souls along with them. In the last month in the shop, every time a 'high vibe' person known to me has come in and we have begun a conversation, two other 'random' individuals have joined in, making us a group of four. For the last couple of weeks, we have found ourselves standing in the positions of the four points of the compass, having a light and like-minded conversation. The energy lines join up and a 'torch' is being created in the centre of the square. This is being 'added' to the galactic grid and can be clairvoyantly seen from the 6th realm (for your group members who are clairvoyant).

This 'Group Activation' that is happening is in multiples of four where one person brings three others along. Many years ago I devised a Transformational Wheel in accord with the Mayan Calendar. It supported the idea that each time a person 'randomly' landed on a Magic Turtle day in the calendar, 'got' the lesson that was presented to them and moved through it (the learning), then a 'group shift' followed and took place. I proved it over and over again.

Significantly when we move into the new Mayan Year at the end of July, the entire Earth will be moving into the Red Self-existing Moon. Self-existing is Tone Four. The ability to exist on the earth plane in high vibration (be grounded but also access the heavenly realms). Self-existing - gathering what we need around us to break away from the control and the patriarchal regime that has gripped us for aeons and stand in self-sufficiency.

Moon will bring with it 'psychological forces' (watch what the Dark Tee shirts try to do, but will not succeed). Remember the Moon dominates our night time reveries, our 'delusions' and our deep-seated fears, so it is important for proper rest and quality sleep, regular meditation and connection with nature; there will be a mass 'purification' that comes along with it. An important gateway opens on July 26th. It will be driven by a collective desire to heal our Ancestral Trauma and the challenge will be (for some) the acceptance of unconditional love (the loving of the self in its purest form).

Water will be important and the need to drink plenty of water to revive the body.

Understanding Our Spiritual Frequencies

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 13:23:11 GMT

Working to raise our spiritual frequencies for the highest good of all

We can all choose to vibrate energetically at a particular frequency, especially when we learn that the lower the frequency, the denser the energy, and the heavier problems seem to be.

At low frequencies of 500 hertz or less we may experience pain and discomfort in our physical body and experience heavy emotions and mental confusion. Psychically, it means our energy is darker and we need to exert a great deal of effort to accomplish our goals. Overall, our life takes on a negative quality.

The higher the frequency of our energy or vibration, the lighter we feel in our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. We experience greater personal power, clarity, peace, love, and joy, and the higher our frequencies, the less discomfort or pain we feel in our bodies. This makes our emotions more easy to deal with, and it means our energy is literally full of light!

When we are operating in high frequencies, life flows with synchronicity, and we manifest what we desire with greater ease. Overall, our life takes on a positive quality.

Personally, I have chosen to harmonise my physical, emotional, and mental bodies and this has meant a more stable and beneficial existence because if I maintain a good physical balance then this helps my mental acuity which helps me to maintain emotional balance.

When it comes to spiritual frequency, this can be allowed to attain a much higher level by dedicating ourselves in service to others. As in ' Per opera Ad Astra ' which means 'through service to the stars'.

Our love and devotion to our fellows increases our spiritual frequency. The more we love unconditionally, the less room there is for ego. This is because love and ego are inversely proportional which means as one becomes larger the other becomes smaller.

Being in a higher vibrational frequency is going to become more and more important to us as we experience greater awareness of the polarities between the lower and higher vibrations.

We will begin to perceive greater separation between the ' dark ' and the ' light ' almost as if we live in two worlds at once. We will need to consciously choose between the dark and the light or the higher and the lower vibrations and be mindful that being absorbed with lower frequencies will lower our ability to think, act, discern truth and make decisions.

Despair and desperation due to challenges will consume those vibrating at a lower frequency but know that help is available from those vibrating at the higher frequency.

The lower and denser energies will naturally want to rise when they are around the higher and lighter energies. It is important for people who carry a higher vibrational frequency to maintain it and not lower it, no matter how uncomfortable it feels. Those people resonating at a higher vibration will only be able to maintain it as long as they don't succumb to the pull of the lower vibration. That pull will come in the form of old programmes and patterns of needing approval or of wanting to ' fit in .'

This is only really true up to a point because there is a tipping point where maintaining a high frequency becomes easier. Helping others becomes pleasurable and the need for reward diminishes. It is like loving someone so much that their happiness becomes more important than your own and this is where true love and friendship enables a level of trust that exceeds that which we have experienced in the past.

To understand this we can look to the Roman soldiers who fought from behind a shield wall but not for themselves. Each soldier protected the man to his right and so there had to be a level of absolute trust in your buddy on your left to fight for and protect you. If we each love and protect each other in this way, we are all protected.

When we choose to be in a higher vibration, we are an example. Choosing the light of a higher frequency requires a firm commitment to it even when it feels as though we no longer fit in. We won't receive approval or fit in any longer because we will stand in separation from those with a lower frequency just as a tiny light in the midst of a dark room stands out.

Always remember that those with the lower vibration have the potential to raise it and so be ready to light the way. Remember also that we will be able to find people who resonate at a higher vibration where we will have the support we need to keep our light shining bright.

This journey is no longer about the individual hero but about protecting and standing up for each other. Love is a commitment that needs to work in more than one direction so that we reinforce the energy of the person on our right and trust absolutely the person on our left. Two things that evil can never achieve is love and trust.

Because we are willing to let our light be seen the Aborigines call us the ' Way-shower s' and it is our job to act as a beacon for those who might otherwise become lost.

Herbal Tea Cleanse

Mon, 30 May 2022 13:45:21 GMT

Cleansing Herbal Tea

There is no better way to cleanse our inner bodies and set ourselves up for the day (or for a good night's sleep) than with a gentle cleansing herbal tea made with fresh lemons, chopped ginger, freshly grown herbs and raw honey.

Soon after I made this herbal tea part of my morning (and evening) routine, my hay fever disappeared and has not returned since. This is mainly thanks to Medical Medium from his book Cleanse to Heal which I highly recommend for exceptional insights on health, what to eat and not to eat, and which supplements to use. The cleansing protocol I used saved my life a few years ago and brought me back to perfect health.

All the nutrients in the following ingredients are extracted by steeping in off the boil filtered water with a spoonful of honey for a refreshing and healing herbal tea at any time of day.

I enjoy taking the time to learn about natural ingredients and herbs for my own good health but always do your own research if you have any questions to make sure they are suitable for you.

Cleansing ingredients

1 x juice of half a Lemon

1 x chopped rind of half a Lemon (preferably frozen)

1 x several slices of thinly sliced fresh Ginger

1 x cup of filtered water (just off the boil)

1 x tablespoon of Raw Honey

9 x drops of Propolis Tincture

Healing ingredients (optional and as available)

3 x sprigs of fresh Lemon Balm

3 sprigs of Lemon Verbena

5 x sprigs of fresh Thyme

3 x tips of fresh Nettles

3 x leaves of Dandelion (or flower heads)

5 x flower heads of Red Clover

Making Your Herbal Tea

1) Start by adding the Cleansing Ingredients to a cup (or teapot) with your chosen mixture of Healing Ingred ients.

2) Pour just off the boil filtered water over the ingredients into your cup (or teapot) and steep for 15-20 minutes.

3) Strain with a tea strainer (optional) into a cup (or mug).

Tips for making a perfect herbal tea

1) Wash the lemon well and brush off any remnants of pesticides (etc).

2) Use well-filtered water (a ZERO water jug is a good option - this is not an affiliate link).

3) Use just boiled water (not boiling water) and leave to steep for 15-20 minutes.

4) Use organic RAW Honey that has been processed naturally without additives.

5) Use organic RAW Propolis that has been processed naturally without additives.

6) Use only fresh herbs and ingredients for best effect.

Make sure you leave your tea to steep for 20 minutes and enjoy!

Healing Ingredients and Benefits

All the ingredients have health benefits which I have described briefly below with the main nutritional benefits and some of the conditions they can help with.

Lemon Juice

Lemon water (or herbal tea) is the best way to hydrate, purify and revitalise your body every morning before eating or drinking anything else. It reverses sluggish fatty livers, cleans the kidneys, spleen, thyroid and gallbladder. It also purifies the lymphatic system.

A daily cup of lemon juice will wake up your tissues and cells so that they can carry nutrients and compounds to where they are most needed more efficiently. Lemon juice is a fantastic source of absorbable vitamin C, it is highly mineralised and loaded with calcium so it's good for your teeth and kills any bacteria that causes tooth decay.

Lemon or Grapefruit Rind (frozen if possible)

The peel of lemon contains more nutrients than the juice together with compounds that fight against many diseases. The best way to get maximum benefits is to freeze them. You can do this whole and grate onto your food or into your smoothies, or (as I do) cut the remaining lemon peel from a juiced lemon into small squares and freeze them to add to your herbal tea.

Frozen lemon peel contains essential compounds that boost the immune system, normalise cholesterol levels and prevent cancer development. They are rich in nutrients like vitamins A, B6, C and E, iron, zinc, potassium, fibre and protein and also contain flavonoids and limonoids which strengthen the cells and fight free radicals.

Ginger

Ginger contains a bioactive called Gingerol which is a natural component of ginger root. This supports gastrointestinal motility which is the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive system. Ginger is known to soothe an upset stomach and it speeds up digestion and prevents food lingering too long in the gut. Gingerol contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. which boost immunity with antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

Ginger is known to exert a variety of powerful therapeutic and preventive effects. It has been used for thousands of years for the treatment of hundreds of ailments from colds to cancer. A few thin slices in your first herbal tea of the day can be highly beneficial.

Raw Honey

Raw Honey is naturally collected honey hasn't been pasteurised (heated to high temperature), processed or micro-filtered (filtered under high pressure through a micro-filter to remove small particles like pollen). I buy my Raw Honey and Propolis Tincture from Raw Artisan Honey because it tastes so delicious and is produced by independent beekeepers who filter their honey only with a coarse filter to remove large particles like beeswax.

Raw Propolis

Bees make Propolis by gathering resin from cone-producing evergreen trees. They blend the resin with wax flakes and pollen then take it back to the hive to patch holes, seal cracks and build panels in the hive. This antiseptic barrier protects the hive from contamination and external invaders.

Used for thousands of years by folk medicine practitioners, Propolis has a wide range of antibacterial, antifungal and anti-viral properties used to prevent respiratory tract infections, common cold symptoms and middle ear infections. The key here is prevention with 10 drops in my lemon cleansing tea every morning has permanently removed my hay fever.

Please note that the above are not affiliate links.

Lemon Verbena

Lemon Verbena is a powerful medicinal herb containing a high concentration of antioxidant compounds, including verbascoside, nerol, geraniol, and citral. Traditionally used to make as a soothing tea to aid digestion and to alleviate colds, flu and break a fever, Lemon Verbena can also be made into an ointment or a poultice to disinfect wounds and speed up healing, and to relieve joint pain caused by inflammation.

Lemon Balm

This beautifully abundant herb with a soft lemon flavour looks like mint and grows just as well in a large pot topped up with plenty of water. Considered a heal-all by naturopaths due to being high in trace minerals such as boron, manganese, copper, chromium, molybdenum, selenium and iron.It is a B12 conserving herb which means it monitors your stores of this vitamin and keeps your body from using it all up.

The gentle cleansing properties of this herb reduces sensitivity in the gut and digestive organs which helps to improve sleep, reduce anxiousness and counteract histamine reactions.

Thyme

This powerful medicinal and potent anti-bug herb destroys pathogens such as the flu, enteroviruses and noroviruses and pathogens that may have crossed the blood-brain barrier or spinal cord to cause neurological problems. It also helps to remove bacterial and fungal infections with a high vitamin C content for increased immunity, potassium for healthy cells and manganese for bone development and blood health.

Red Clover

Red clover produces wonderfully brightly coloured flowers which contain many nutrients, including calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, zinc and vitamin C and A, and some B vitamins. They also provide a rich source of isoflavones which are compounds that act as phytoestrogens - plant chemicals similar to the female hormone estgrogen.

Red Clover is used in herbal medicine as a blood cleanser, for balancing estrogen levels, to treat whooping cough, and to soothe skin inflammation such as eczema. It is also used as part of anti-cancer herbal preparations due to the isoflavones being found to potentially stop cancer cells from growing and killing cancer cells in test tubes.

Nettles

The nettle leaf is an effective antiflammatory herb that revives the organs with healing phytochemicals and alkaloids. Rich with bone-building and bone-protecting herbs such as silica, the nettle leaf has a further 40 trace minerals which means it can be used as a pain reliever and cleansing agent for a host of infections, skin conditions and hormone imbalances.

Nettle tea in particular supports the kidneys, helps to reduce inflammations and alleviate skin conditions. It is also a rich source of iron and other beneficial minerals which may help anaemia with the vitamin C helping the body to absorb the iron it needs. Due to being rich in cholorophyl, nettle leaves help in converting sunlight into energy which makes it idea for building up the blood.

Dandelions

Every single part of this miraculous plant full of healthy acids and healing alkaloids is a powerful spring cleaner for our bodies in Spring and any time of year. Each part of the plant has a varying degree of bitterness and this very feature lends its restorative properties.

Raw or braised or added to stews, the leaves purify the blood; the stems are the second bitterest part of the plant providing powerful cleaning action for the spleen, liver and brain; the root is the bitterest which forces the organs to purge on the deepest level for an intensified purification.

My favourite is picking fresh Dandelion flowers and steeping them in cold filtered water overnight to release their minerals ready for a nutritious cleanse and boost in the morning.

I hope you enjoy this simple (or deluxe) cleansing herbal tea. It is best served first thing with thyme, dandelion flowers, dandelion leaves or nettles, or just before bedtime as a relaxing end-of-day cleanse with the addition of Lemon Balm and/or Lemon Verbena.

A Message from the Hopi Nation

Mon, 30 May 2022 13:09:16 GMT

This was found by our research expert, Claire Baker fondly known as 'The Ferret' of the Community Assembly of Kernow .

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore and push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word ‘ struggle ’ from your attitude and your vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we have been waiting for.

Light Energy Visualisation

Sun, 29 May 2022 10:04:53 GMT

This visualisation is a form of meditation that draws on the light energy of the earth to create a sphere of protection for yourself and others.

Use the words below as a guide until you are able to visualise your own similar journey without needing any prompts.

Practice regularly so that you can call on it when needed. You can use the same technique to create a sphere of protection around yourself and the people, things and places you care for.

It takes about 20 minutes so find a comfortable position sitting upright or lying down. Breathe deeply to release any tension, relax your body, focus your mind and start your visualisation.

Follow the light energy

A soft glow radiates from the ground around you until it forms a beautiful golden sphere of glowing light energy.

This beautiful soft light seeps into the ground, down through the top layer of soil, the topsoil and further into the subsoil until it lights up the regolith strata made up of dark decomposed organic material and gigantic granite rocks.

The light activates the atoms of quartz and crystal embedded in the rock making them sparkle before spreading out through layers of loose shingle and organic matter glowing in a harmony of rich, earthy colours.

Still further down, the light slips into a vortex of energy spinning at the core of the earth before spinning back up again to continue its cyclical journey towards the surface of the earth and beyond.

Follow the vortex upwards until you can see the minerals of the earth gleaming and a labyrinth of healthy soil laced with roots, stones, tiny bug tunnels and pockets of water and air.

Imagine the light moving with the constant activity of worms, insects, mites, spiders, centipedes and other living forms, each sparking electric light that electrifies the webs of mycelia or mycorrhizal fungi that colonise the roots of trees.

Imagine these microscopic filaments flashing and gleaming as they deliver life-giving nitrogen, phosphorous, water and other nutrients from the soil to the trees at invisible speed.

This electrifying filigree of light represents the life blood of the underground world, an incredible energy circulating throughout the miraculous interconnections of the wood wide web.

Draw the light from earth

Imagine the light from underground travelling up through the grass, plants, hedgerows and trees growing on the earth's surface.

Imagine the light travelling up through the trees in energised strands of silver light. Every atom of the tree pulses with energy as the light moves up through the tree and divides out into the branches.

With all the trees around you illuminated, imagine sketching arches in your mind's eye between the tops of the trees to create a dome of light. If there are no trees around you, imagine a bigger sphere made from trees at a wider distance.

Now you need to light up the dome and connect it to the earth in order to create a complete sphere of light beneath you, around you and over you. The same applies if you are doing this for another person or situation.

Create your protective sphere

Imagine the silver light moving up through the trees, shining out from the branches and twinkling through the leaves. Watch the light bend into an arch bringing all the lights from the trees to meet up mid air to create a perfect glowing dome.

Imagine the shape of the dome creates a peaceful and safe space around you making a perfect circle which connects with the light energy of the earth and makes the sphere complete.

Feel the sense of peace as you are surrounded by a powerful and beautiful sphere of light energy connected to and protected by Mother Earth.

After The Trial

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 11:04:53 GMT

Susan Ledbury is a member of the Community Assembly of Camborne who appealed her conviction for travelling outside her local area during tier four lockdown restrictions.

Susan was convicted last year by magistrates sitting at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court and was fined £1,760 and told to pay a victim surcharge of £176 and costs of £90.

Susan travelled to Truro on March 7 2021 without reasonable excuse according to the police. At the time people living in England were only allowed to exercise once a day within their household or support bubble with one other person, and crucially in Susan’s case, within the local area.

On the day in question Susan was stopped by PC Morley in the Malpas Road area of Truro. PC Morley conducted a number of checks before he approached Susan which is illegal as he did not have just cause to do so. He then assumed Susan was guilty by ascertaining where Susan was living before issuing a fixed penalty notice that she didn’t pay which then ended up in court.

Susan told PC Morley she had travelled from Penzance to Truro for a walk. She said she was going for a walk with friends and didn’t consider herself bound by legislation restricting people’s movements at the time.

On Thursday 2 February, Susan was joined by an army of supporters at Truro Crown Court to appeal her conviction. Speaking on behalf of Susan was Marc Horn who argued there was no legal authority to fine her and that there was no evidence that COVID was transmissible from a sick person to a healthy person. He said that the legislation that resulted in the fine was invalid.

After considering submissions, Judge Robert Linford spoke of Susan's initial sentence, saying she appealed it arguing that the offence as charged, and the legislation that gave rise to it, were invalid. Judge Linford said the circumstances of the day in question were not in dispute and that Susan didn’t consider herself subject by the governing legislation.

Judge Linford said “ at the time of PC Morley’s interaction with Ms Ledbury there were rules in force ” preventing people from travelling to different areas without reasonable excuse. He added: “ Ms Ledbury doesn’t dispute she was out of her property and didn’t give evidence and put forward a reasonable excuse. She relied on the legitimacy of the relevant legislation and has deeply held beliefs regarding the legitimacy of it. But these views are utterly irrelevant. We simply must apply the law as directed.”

Judge Linford commended Marc’s well-articulated arguments before dismissing the appeal.

Judge Linford did however make a huge amendment to the fine, reducing it by over £1,000, saying it was “ out of all proportion ”. In an effort to do justice, Judge Linford reduced the fine to £200 which Susan had to pay immediately together with a £32 victim surcharge and costs of £90.

Community Peace Constables, Ian Welch (pictured left above) and John Gilbert (pictured right above) were in attendance, acting as Court Auditors. Their findings were as follows:-

Judge Linford stated that the law must be applied as directed, however, there was no law to apply.

The rules that he quotes were simply government guidelines and not subject to the rule of law.

The Act which was stated is simply that, an act, and is binding on only those who have signed up to the act.

At the time people living in England were only allowed to exercise within their local area but there was no definition given for what was considered a local area and these were guidelines only.

No mention was made of PC Morley who left Susan covered in bruises. This was most certainly an assault which was recorded but omitted in court.

Judge Linford knew full well that he was acting unlawfully in passing the judgement that he did and it has been noted.

Protest Meeting in Camborne

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 11:04:53 GMT

On duty for the Community Peace Service

Community Peace Constables (CPC) carry out the requests of the Community Law Courts and on this occasion were called on to act as Peace Keepers.

It is for this reason that CPC John Gilbert and CPC Ian Welch were invited to attend a freedom demonstration in Camborne in Cornwall

A week before the event the police were contacted and informed that Community Peace Constables would be attending the event and that police officers and/or constables would be welcome should they feel it was necessary.

It is our belief that the police didn’t feel the need to attend and so we had a really great day talking to the protesters. We had a lot of great comments regarding our uniforms and we certainly couldn’t be missed.

The only downside to the whole day was the cold winds which had the effect of shrinking our police dog. It started off as a German Sheppard, honestly.
