Intent is more productive. Intend what outcome you want and tell Spirit to intensify it a hundred thousand times. Then do your best to be quiet. If you have a hard time keeping quiet then just repeat the mantra, “I am as I am supposed to be.” Or “I follow, You lead.” Start your discipline now. Its going to get tougher.

Q. Many thanks to Jose for the Gratitude, Forgiveness, Blessing writings in the November article. It has been very useful to me in a heart-connected way. However, intellectually I am wondering whether Jose would be kind enough to expand on "Blessing." He will be amused to know that it is a minister that is asking about blessing.

Here are some brief thoughts about the matter. Blessing from the ego or personality alone is not effective since there is no power there, just arrogance and self importance. When you bless you are coming from that place of being Spirit. In order to do so successfully you need to experience that you are blessed by Spirit and therefore are simply extending these blessings beyond you to others, in other words, doing the work of Spirit. Therefore it is very difficult for people to experience that they can bless others if they are not in touch with being blessed. This is a major stumbling block for many people. If they are carrying around a burden of guilt, they themselves have extricated themselves from Spirit’s blessings, feeling they do not deserve to be blessed. How can they then bless others feeling this way? It is not that they can’t, it is really that they won’t because they insist on seeing themselves as guilty and therefore undeserving and needing to be punished. The second they re-decide this issue they are instantly ready to bless.     

This is why Jesus insisted over and over that “Your sins are forgiven you.” What he actually meant was, “Whatever you are holding against yourself, drop it. It does not exist. You are blessed and you are free to bless.”

Q. What is the bright light in the sky? Have y'all seen the new light in the sky at night? It is visible with the naked eye, and has become the brightest object in the sky. I've been watching it and searching for news reports and prophecy about it. Is it a comet, a UFO, or a second sun coming into our solar system?

The glib answer is that this light in the sky is anything you believe it to be and that is not far from the truth. A more thoughtful response follows. Indeed this periodic comet 17P/Holmes is the blue sun of Hopi prophecies, the final and 9th major prophecy that predicts the beginning of the end times or the end of the fourth world and the beginning of the fifth world. This corresponds with the beginning of a night cycle according to the Mayan prophecies leading up to the end of their calendar in 2011 or 2012, depending on which interpretation you wish to follow.  Although this bright light is clearly a comet it is described as a sun in the Hopi translation. It is technically not a UfO because it is not an unidentified flying object but rather it is a known comet acting strangely and unpredictably. We, as well as many others have said that Fall 2007 would mark some major events that would signal great changes for the world. These have now begun to take place. The end times according to Hopi prophecy do not signal the end of the world, only the end of a phase that will transition into a new phase of life on the planet. It will be accompanied by much transformation, change, dissolving of old structures, death, fear, and upset. It may very well involve limited nuclear exchange. In the Hopi prophecy the blue sun is followed closely by a red sun that will signal a huge choice point for the human race. The transition is clearly here and the most intense part will take place in the next two years. Welcome to transformation.

Q. I always love the Q&A part of your newsletter ... so here' a question. It just strikes me as amazing that we got George Bush and all that goes with him, all this war, lowering of US esteem, belligerence, torture, lies, etc., when we should have had Al Gore, now a Nobel laureate...if it hadn't been for Bush's nefarious means. But, what else was/is going on here?  The U.S.'s karma? A way of speeding up the deconstruction so that the message of people like Al Gore in his environmental capability can shine?  Bush has done more harm in his few years than can be rectified in possibly decades. Gore wouldn't have gotten us into war and would have been an environmental president.  Well, I realize these are questions we asked after that Supreme Court ruling, but I'm asking again.  What is shining through here that I don't see?  What does The Big Picture tell us?

Although many would rather not hear this, the fact is that the people of the United States got the president that best represents their collective feelings and belief systems. You can see that the country is split and the truth is that at the time of the elections, despite the voter fraud and corruption, the people demonstrated more fear and insecurity than environmental concern and the confidence to pursue a peaceful path. The president the country ended up with was the result of collective beliefs that a warrior (not a scholar) was needed to handle perceived terrorist activity and insecurity about resources (oil). The man Bush best represented this stance. He was not an intellectual just as most of the country is not intellectual. He does not read just as most people no longer read but prefer media distractions to entertain them. He catered to the conservative side because in reality the USA is quite conservative in many respects. Being a 7th level young warrior with dominance, perseverance, and arrogance he represented values ingrained in America: “We are the best, most powerful and richest nation and everyone should do as we say. Might makes right.” Now granted you may be someone who does not feel that way at all, including all your friends. But the truth be told this is what the majority of Americans, even many liberals subconsciously have been imprinted to believe and with a little propaganda it comes to the surface. Look at all the politicians who supported the war and who still pander to the administration. Americans believe in the power of business and capitalism, and Bush, not Gore, represented these interests more.

Q. Please explain what and who the "Indigo children" are and why they have come to the planet now. What is their purpose? Also, as some of us are parents to these children, how can we be of service to them in their spiritual and physical growth? Thank you.

There is much attention on a new generation of children who show special abilities but there is little agreement about who they are or how they behave. Now many parents feel their children are special and want them to be part of a unique and special group, especially parents of children who have behavioral problems. In this way they can feel better about the fact that the children they have been given to raise are difficult. This often points to the activity of ego in the parents and their wish for self-importance or specialness and this accounts for some of the interest in what are called Indigo children. Nevertheless there are many children being born who do show special aptitudes and abilities. These are nothing more than older souls who have agreed to be born at this time to help with the transition of the planet from young soul to mature soul in this twenty five year period. Older souls always demonstrate more abilities even as small children and they always have. If you could look into the past you would find many incidents of children with these special abilities. Incidentally older souls children are usually advanced, kind, generous, loving, and are not behavior problems. They usually show a lot of wisdom at a young age.

There is no need to create the drama around them that they are extraterrestrial or that they are aliens or from some special galaxy far away. In fact this does them a grave disservice. Imagine being labeled an extra terrestrial. They are part of the hundred billion people who are incarnating on the Earth at this time however they are from the group with more experience. Almost seven billion of the hundred billion are currently incarnate. Most, at any given time, are waiting in the wings for their next incarnation.

On Earth there are and always have been spectators or observers from other sentient species in the universe but they do not incarnate here because this is not the location where they have their karmic debts or sums as Jesus put it. Once karma begins it has to be completed where it is. For the typical sentient being you can’t play on two planets at once unless you are so advanced as to be capable of being beyond karma. Sometimes these very advanced essences show up to help human beings out.
 

Q. So many people are addicted to a variety of things. What is addiction all about and what can be done about it?

This is a big topic and warrants a longer article but here we’ll deal with the core issue. Up to eighty percent of Americans are addicted to something: methamphetamines and other drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food, caffeine, shopping, sex, gambling, and the internet. Technically addiction influences brain function, specifically the action of dopamine involved in the chemical pleasure reward system gone out of whack. Anyone can become addicted to something if they are exposed to enough of a stimulus response routine. However many people simply steer away from that compulsive stimulus response because other things have more interest or meaning for them. The most effective alternative is a spiritual path. Thus we can say that people allow themselves to become seriously addicted because a) they want to feel better than they do b) as a self medication for depression, disillusionment, anxiety, and so on in an insane culture and c) as a desire to experience something more intense and exciting than their ordinary experience that seems dull or again, meaningless to them. Once an addiction builds up it can be totally irrational and difficult to handle and eradicate.

All addictions are a form of spiritual crisis. In every case it is the false personality or ego that has taken over control of the personality in order to subjugate the person and keep them from being free to find Spirit. The paradox is that often the quest for Spirit is derailed into an addiction. God is what the person really wants (although they often don’t know it) and the hopelessness of a life stuck in a body under the illusion of separation is so odious that the person will do anything to numb the pain. The search for God in a bottle or a pill just gets the person farther and farther away from what they are truly seeking.    

In the short run treatment programs no shorter than ninety days seem to help people the most at breaking their addiction. The people who stay involved in some form of treatment for years appear to do the best. Ultimately the only real solution is to recognize that life in a body is an illusion and that what one really is, is Spirit. Finding religion can be a temporary help but religions fail to actually free people to find Spirit so they fail in the long run. Only truly awakening to who one is can truly cure an addiction. That is why the people who have the most success at resolving their addictions are older souls. More often younger souls just don’t have enough awareness to break the cycle and the addiction leads to their death.  
 

Q. What is depression and what can I do about it?

Depression is created by a combination of variables mostly beginning with some belief or repetitive thought process. The thought usually has the theme of being trapped or helpless to change the current undesired situation. This thought then creates feelings of helplessness, discouragement, and hopelessness that reinforce the thought process in a vicious cycle. There seems to be no end in sight. The result is chemical and hormonal changes in the body and feelings of deep fatigue. Amusement seems completely absent and the energy body frequency drops extremely low. From this low frequency it is quite difficult to shrug off depression and feel good again. Bear in mind that depression can also result from certain types of drugs and from lack of physical rest and exhaustion.

The main order of business is to raise ones frequency up again through any number of these methods often in combination: Playing certain types of inspirational music; letting sunlight into the eyes and on the skin for fifteen minutes or more; praying; singing even if forced at first; whistling; focusing on gratitude; recalling a time that felt better; imagining standing inside of an octahedron with the vertical axis through the spine; focusing on the heart filling with the gold of truth, the rose of love, and the electric blue of energy in that order; moving the body vigorously; smelling flowers; visiting with animals and petting them; lying face down upon the earth and telling her your sorrows; and so on. You can use the Abraham method of gradually moving your feeling through a step by step process by going to whatever feels slightly better than the current emotion and eventually finding release. Often the first emotion that feels slightly better is anger. This raises the frequency gradually. One good method to combat depression is to imagine being filled up and surrounded by chocolate brown for a few minutes-then imagine gold replacing it. This mud bath gets rid of a lot of unwanted subconscious material. 

In these coming times there will be increasing temptation to fall into depression. You must not give in to it but are better off fighting it off through any of the above methods. The worst thing you can do is to passively accept it.



Q.Why are all the honey bees dying off?

There is no one simple single cause to the bees demise. Basically this is the scenario: Bees are very sensitive to the energy levels, frequency, and environmental conditions on the planet, something that is dramatically changing right now with help from a rapidly changing sun along with human created sources as well. Normally this would be enough to stress the bees a great deal but not kill them. However the bee’s health has been seriously compromised by a number of conditions that you can readily read about in the news. Bee’s immune systems are severely weakened by monoculture, being trucked (highly stressful) to the same kind of plants over and over instead of being given variety as is natural. They are also affected by a diet of high fructose corn syrup coming from  genetically  modified corn engineered to resist insects. Firstly, high fructose corn syrup is killing people as we speak. Because it is such a profitable product any research showing its harmful effects is suppressed regularly. Secondly, corn and many other plants that have been genetically modified to resist insects are slowly killing the bees, an insect. They are slowly being poisoned. No one thing is enough to kill the bees, but they are being overwhelmed by the combination of variables. The bees are the canary in the coalmine of human health. They are being sacrificed by nature as a severe warning to human beings to stop treating natural animals like machines. The bees are servers, happy to be of service. But like all servers they are not happy with slavery, bondage, and mistreatment to make human profit. They are, therefore, going on strike until the ways change, and what an effective strike it will be. Wake up everybody, it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.  

Q. Why is there such fascination with violence in films and in the world in general?

Human beings have always been a very violent species because they have simian bodies (opposable thumbs etc.) and share intense territoriality with other simian (monkey) species. They also have the ability to remember the past and thus build resentment for past wrongs and carry revenge into the future unlike other animals. In addition they are capable of organizing themselves into massive groups and being highly intelligent can strategize allowing them to go to war. In modern times there are simply newer technologies such as guns, missiles, bombs, computers, film, and television allowing them to indulge in these age-old violent pastimes. Television, film and DVD games are just the latest gladiatorial displays.

However human beings are perfectly capable of being peaceful and have demonstrated this over and over again. What causes humans to become violent is the false personalities’ propensity to identify with thoughts of resentment, vengefulness, control, greed, pain, and so on.   When people identify with their own pain experiences they then feel the need for more of it or they are afraid they won’t be anything. They thus unconsciously seek to either experience more pain (for the drama) or to inflict it in order to relieve themselves of their own pain, an erroneous assumption. Of course inflicting pain just ensures more coming back. Witnessing others pain also satisfies the same needs. So violence is all about false personalities’ desire to perpetuate itself. As the world becomes more intense, crowded, and competitive there is a tendency for the most ego driven people (the vast majority) to seek out more and more violence until the situation is so intolerable that they either destroy themselves or give it up.

The more a person identifies with essence the less attraction violence has for them. Since more and more people are beginning to identify with essence,  the world is polarizing into those who desire violence and those who do not. The ones who do are on a disastrous course. The ones who do not will find a way to break free of it and will experience love instead. Violence will not touch them. Make your choice now with what you want to identify with.


Q. Why am I feeling so tired, anxious, and getting no sleep?

You sure aren’t the only one. Billions of people on the Earth are feeling anxious, exhausted, and having great difficulty sleeping. Not only that but suicides are way up, as are sudden deaths, and there are crazed outbursts of behavior like for example Brittany Spears odd unstable behavior getting tattooed and shaving her head on impulse. In our forecast for the year 2007 we warned that chaos would reign and that it would be in general a tough year. So far that has proved to be so. The sun is physically changing its Hertz and patterns of radiation, the Earth’s North Pole is shifting 50 miles a year now, the Earth’s frequency is shifting, weather patterns are haywire, and climate change is becoming more evident (You can find out about all this on the web). As the Sun and the Earth continue to transition in a transformative process, everything on the Earth shifts as well and this is destabilizing. Sleep is disrupted, exhaustion sets in because of the level of anxiety unleashed, and everyone even slightly awake knows that change is afoot and no one is actually in charge. Welcome to 2007. What can you do? Breath deep, stay in the moment as best you can, avoid the temptation to try to figure it all out, meditate to quiet your mind, and focus on what makes you personally happy. Be creative and express yourself in many ways. Cook, sing, dance, and paint. Smile at people and they will feel less anxious. Laugh at bad jokes and drink some bad beer. Only use your bed for sleeping and or making love. Read elsewhere and leave your bed if you are awake more than twenty minutes. This will train your body to associate your bed only with sleep. These are all things you can do and they will not fail you if you actually practice them.

Q. Water appears to be an important element this coming year. Can you speak about its properties?

Water is a most interesting element in that it has two transition points fairly close together that transform it into a solid and a gas. These transition points are edges and edges are collectors of power, both dangerous and productive. Water as a solid can tear apart almost anything and water as a gas can be terrifically powerful and dangerously explosive. Both can be greatly beneficial when harnessed for human use. When water is in its fluid form it can wear away almost anything but it will also go around its obstacles finding a way that is effortless and relentless. When one flows with water it is an excellent source of transportation both physically and metaphorically but woe to anyone trying to swim upstream or trying to hold onto something midstream but not moving with it. Water is a medium that when prayed into carries the frequency of prayer to wherever  you intend it to go. This includes healing prayers, purification thoughts, and intentions for peace and love.

Water with sun is the alchemy of life and in full flood stage can be the bringer of death. To make the most of water this next year, think of its adaptive qualities, its flexibility when fluid, its ability to go through or around anything to get to its destination, and its ability to carry intent. Think of water as a friend, an ally, and a poderio, something that fills your body and helps you to live. Think of it as a spirit that is an expression of the Source, something deserving the utmost respect and proper treatment like an honored guest. When one approaches water this way they will never have to experience its negative effects nor be a victim of destructive flooding. You will always find fresh water to drink. Be a friend to water and it will always be your friend.



Q. What is the greatest source of global warming?

This is a highly controversial subject and one fraught with intense emotions and political overtones. While human activity is clearly implicated, the greatest contributor to warming at this time is the sun. Each day we learn more and more about the activities of the sun and it is beginning to release its secrets as a phenomenal governor of life on the Earth. The activities of the sun are cyclical and this is reflected in the periodic droughts, fires, and floods documented throughout Earth's history. Sunspots, solar flares, and huge storms on the sun have dramatic impacts on the climate and weather on Earth. What is a yet undocumented by science but being watched closely is the gradual change in frequency of the sun and the fact that its rather rapid shift at this time is having a major impact on many aspects of the Earth. The sun's changes influence not only the jet streams, the temperature of oceans and the subsequent flow of their currents, but also the volatility of human emotions, dreams, ideas, visions, spirituality, awareness, and all manner of human behavior.  Given that this is a time in human history when the sun is heating up the Earth, it is truly most foolish to increase its activity multifold by dumping enormous quantities of pollutants into the atmosphere and cutting down all the forests. The sun is following a divine plan to help evolve this planet but human activities can cause these processes to become way more destructive than intended. If all human activity were to cease suddenly the Earth would continue to heat up due to natural processes and this would eventually regulate itself with a colder period and the periodic cycles the Earth can handle.
