When a person’s home is burned to the ground and their entire neighborhood is wiped away, when floods rip through the area, washing away all that is dear and claiming lives, it’s hard to think about the “News” controversies. The Hollywood “Bread and Circus” distractions, the Trevon Martin tragedy and Eric Snowdon’s revelations that we are all wire tapped all the time seem to pale by comparison when there is not clean drinking water and people are housed in tents or barracks situations just for survival from results of the fires and the elements. I read an astrological column just today that is so poignant that it bears repeating so I will run an excerpt of it in this “First Impression” column for you to think about. Throughout July Jupiter opposes Pluto, which means the Master Plan for your life’s unfoldment stands opposite the Collective Shadow of our time. The gift of an opposition is that two forces become polarized to dramatize a key lesson contained therein. Until the forces stand opposite, the issue remains dormant, affecting things sideways. When the opposition occurs the forces have a showdown, plunging them into direct confrontation which makes things more intense, but also brings the issue out of hiding to where it can be illuminated, dramatized, and resolved. The Collective Shadow of our time is a composite thought form made of the following negative tape loops: We’re Running Out of Time, The Rich Take All, Love Can’t Happen, Truth Can’t Happen, Humanity Cannot Change. In certain parts of the world (like political arenas) this shadow thickens and dominates the psychic space, very hard to shake off, very hard to even see that it’s a story. It masquerades as The Way Things Are, rather than as something we constantly tell ourselves is true that squeezes out alternative ideas. When caught in this shadow the undertow is deadly, making more constructive ideas seem hopelessly naive or preposterous. Standing opposite to Pluto’s Shadow is the Jupiterian Dream: whatever bright truth of the soul longs to be born from the deepest part of you, whatever you incarnated to express, whatever cosmic urge drew your soul from spirit into matter. Jupiter’s Dream is the Big Dream that your individual dream is a part of. And when Dream opposes Shadow a rigorous initiation is at hand, because this clash of the titans brings on the very challenge that must be faced to coax the fuller scope of the dream out of hiding and make that dream real.

Sherry Henderson, Editor Publisher Oracle 20/20 August 2013 3 MYSTICAL MENTORS Future in the Hands of Youth By Terry Stokes The Glastonbury Festival was a great success this year, and as the festival palmist/counselor I was struck by the similarity of the problems of many of those who consulted me. Many of those who attend save their money all year to experience the Festival and see the best pop groups around. Among the attendees was a large contingent of American youngsters. With these very difficult times, the lack of opportunities and employment has particularly hit the young and many are feeling disillusioned, fearful, hopeless and angry. An increasing amount of emotional burnout, stress, fatigue, weight issues, suicidal thoughts and substance dependence are now increasingly seen by counselors. Aaron Beck MD, on a previous visit to Glastonbury told me, “anxiety may be distinguished from fear in that the former is an emotional process, while fear is a cognitive one. Fear involves the intellectual appraisal of a threatening stimulus, anxiety involves the emotional response to that appraisal” This handprint exemplifies all that I saw in many hands in the one hand. Lets look closely and see what it can tell us. (1) A short index or Jupiter finger always goes with low self esteem. This person’s confidence has been badly hit and his fear failure can paralyze him from continuing to try, the negativity becomes a personal issue and where self blame becomes a habit, low self confidence makes us vulnerable. (2) The thin end to the thumb tip, known as a “nervous thumb” among experts, shows depleted energy levels we associate with junk food and is usually seen with (3) which shows sensitivity and excess caution. Carl Jung, the great psychologist, in his studies of palmistry called this “The Jailer” as this mark is seen with those who are anxious, apprehensive and procrastinate far too much. They are the thinkers and planners who never carry out their plans. In Tibetan palmistry it’s called the sign of the Tortoise, as these people are slow and methodical. In India its known as “the blessing of Shiva”, the caution of the Tortoise which prevents jumping in with instinctive and hasty actions. 4 (4) The short and curved finger of Mercury, the smallest finger, if not reaching the line marking the top phalange on the next or Apollo finger shows communication difficulties. A whole raft of things are revealed by this sign but it especially shows that when things get bottled up they often explode. This has its genesis in the early bonding process. If this finger is very small or low set expect the loner, one who cannot confide or share with others. (5) The head line drops down at the end showing a predisposition to unworldly thoughts and depression. in the handprints I took at the London Psychiatric Hospital for a study in the late seventies, this feature occurred frequently, as it does today with so many of our young students. (6) This is an allergy line and has many names. When I see this I warn of the dangers of drugs both recreational and prescribed. The latest anti-depressant used by many of the young is Citalopram, which replaced Seroxat and Prozac. It has the danger of addiction and serious side effects. If you have a friend of family member who is in this age bracket please talk with them and keep a watchful eye that they are OK; some of their stories I heard at Glastonbury worried me greatly. Healthy food and the elimination of drugs, both prescription and street drugs, and junk foods could go a long way towards changing the outcome for today’s youth.

So much seems unavailable but don’t despair. You have not lost your touch. You are self-directed normally, but for a week or so, you are floundering. You will be more certain and able as soon as you make some clear decisions. Aries: 3/21 – 4/20: Long distance travel and movement to distant and new lands is temporarily delayed so don’t allow frustration to cause impulsive decisions. Finish up your responsibilities and commitments before you take off for your new adventures. Call ahead and you can have a lot of opportunities waiting for you when you arrive. Taurus: 4/21 – 5/21: Ambition is strong and you now need to surround yourself with the things that show others the level of your success. Bring everything out in the open. If you feel resistance from your family, look to your ancestors for healing whatever needs attention. You will now be able to learn from their mistakes. Your desires and interests can be turned into money-making opportunities. Find what is important to you and you will be half way there. Gemini: 5/22 – 6/21: Feeling comfortable with your friends and associates may be challenging because you feel you are going in two different directions. You must appeal to another’s sense of adventure if you are to be successful in persuading them to see things your way. You need the latitude for flexibility so you can adapt to your changing needs. Use the ability to connect to take care of those around you. Cancer: 6/22 – 7/22: A significant communication with some of your ancestors plants an inspired attitude toward the past. When someone speaks from the other side about revising old recipes or renovating an old house for a new generation, new motivations come to the surface. This will point to instruction on how to support a needful child. Kindness is what is needed, not criticism. They have been getting plenty of that. Virgo: 8/23 – 9/23: It is a good idea to be cautious with your money all this month. You can spend next month but because there is so much you need and want it can be difficult to wait, particularly because you need things that will help put things into place. You may not be sure what is motivating you so stick with the things that are useful and practical. No need to stockpile. Be discriminating. Once you get past the changeability you have been experiencing, you will make better decisions. Libra: 9/24 – 10/23: A relationship with someone you meet near your home can cause you to see the world in a different way. Many caring people and those who have powerful jobs may be involved in your life and direction. Clarity and the ability to handle difficult situations 6 by Annie Hollis comes easily to you now so use it well. Scorpio: 10/24 – 11/22: Cleaning out the basement or any other underground location will be beneficial and productive. Also plumbing work should be done now. Once that is accomplished, plan to entertain at home and you may discover a new love interest in someone you thought you knew. Dig deep and find the path out of the criticism, keep things in perspective and try not to be so hard on yourself. Sagittarius: 11/23 – 12/21: Play the lottery or otherwise take some chances and you could be a big winner. Always go with your intuition and your instincts when you are making those bets. Don’t over think it. Insecurities are coming from others, not you, so their cautions can be frustrating. Your conflicting desires must be evaluated so you don’t go over ground you have already covered. Move ahead. Capricorn: 12/22 – 1/20: You have a lot of responsibility now and can influence others in your environment with your leadership. Keep your ambitions in check and consider those who have taken care of you up to now. You may feel you now need to take care of them and that experience can lead to your getting paid for what you are doing for others. It is a good time to work out of your home if you have the opportunity. So get organized and be ready to take advantage of this chance. Aquarius: 1/21 – 2/19: A new lover may be in your future if you are able to look beyond the past. Others may want to shine a little and you owe them that opportunity. Step back for now and support them in their new endeavors. You will have plenty of power later on. If you don’t relinquish a little of the control, some of the decisions will be made without your input. Pisces: 2/20 – 3/20: Powerful dreams may be disturbing and it is difficult to make sense of the information you are getting. Consider upgrading your resources and your skills to put yourself into a position to help another. Keep a clear head and reconsider your plans. What is bothering you will evaporate. Keep track of the bizarre happenings because you are living on the edge whether you mean to or not.

I hope you have read the previous two from the months of May and June in order to pick up the thread of the narrative. If you have not read them, or have gotten hazy about the details you can find them, along with several other articles written for Oracle 20/20 Magazine at www.SacredGeometryInterna tional.com. In part two last month I made this claim “The Grail is a symbol for a lost technology of individual, social and planetary regeneration.” This claim comes from a reading of the texts themselves. As mentioned the texts are extensive and initially quite confusing. Characters appear and disappear; they seem at times to morph into one another in almost dreamlike fashion. The Grail itself is protean in nature, assuming various forms throughout the different narratives. Of course the image most frequently associated with the Grail is that of a cup or chalice. I would suggest that the cup is but a symbol for a primary function of the Grail, which is that of a receptacle. The image of Grail as chalice comes from the writings of Robert de Boron, a French poet who lived in the latter part of the 12th and early part of the 13th centuries. In his work Joseph d’Arimathe and Merlin de Boron is the first to present the Grail in a specifically Christian context, describing it as the vessel from which Jesus drank at the last supper and which Joseph used to catch the his blood and sweat as he hung upon the cross. This cup was later conveyed by Joseph to the valleys of Avalon, in England, where he established the first Christian church at the site of Glastonbury. Here Joseph and his twelve disciples founded a dynasty whose purpose was to guard the Grail until the rise of King Arthur over 4 centuries later. In the Gospel of Nicodemus, details of Joseph’s postcrucifixion exploits are described. In that account Joseph is imprisoned by Jewish elders, angry that he has retrieved and buried the body of Christ. A seal is set upon the door of his cell and a guard placed to insure that he remains incarcerated. However, with the aid of Jesus he affects a miraculous escape. Joseph later reconciles with the Jewish elders who apparently realize that his remarkable escape signifies the involvement of higher powers. In Joseph d’ Arimathe, de Boron describes the Grail in terms echoing earlier Celtic traditions of a cauldron of plenty that provides nourishment and sustenance to the worthy, for during his captivity Joseph is miraculously sustained and nourished by the Grail. Students of the Mysteries, occultists and Hermetic Philosophers understand that the archaic wisdom is preserved and transmitted in one form as a special language, an argot or slang which only Initiates can Oracle 20/20 August 2013 understand. This language has been called by many names: The Language of the Birds, the Language of Diplomats, the language of the Gods, or of the Angels, langue verte or green language, and the Adamic language. It is reputed to be the language spoken before the fall of the Tower of Babel and the confusion of tongues. It was especially employed by Alchemists to conceal their mysteries, and according to tradition was used by Kabbalists, Renaissance magicians, and Sufis, among others and most likely traces its origins back to ancient Egypt, and perhaps beyond. It provided the principal means by which the Troubadours, those mystical purveyors of Sacred Knowledge, could communicate classified information without the awareness of the uninitiated. It could be either spoken or written. It was based upon the use of puns, homophones, etymological derivations, and the use of numbers and symbols to provide alternative meanings to words, phrases and names than the superficially apparent ones. These alternate meanings could then be substituted yielding hidden teachings. Elements of this mysterious language were definitely employed by the authors of the Grail Romances and it provides indispensible insight into the concealed meanings of the Grail symbolism. continued page 8 New Age Books, Gifts and More • 20% off cover on New Books, everyday! 770-516-6969 www.ForeverAndADay.biz 7830 Highway 92 • Woodstock, Ga. 30189 Awakened Spirit Expo “Time to Awaken” Join thousands for this two day event: The 1st annual Awakened Spirit Expo on Sat.

By Ronald Fraser, Avon Books, 1966) in describing the origins of the term Grail. He writes “Its origin is not, for all that, certainly Celtic. It may well be very much earlier. I believe that this word derives from the root “Car,” or “Gar,” which has the meaning of “stone.” The Gar-al, or Gar-el, the urn that contains the stone or the stone urn (Gar-al), say, the Stone of God (Gar-el). The two etymologies are in fact very close. In the first case, we should be concerned with a vessel in which the stone “becomes;” in the second, with the “Stone” itself. The symbol is unquestionably alchemical.” Two things should be noted, in Biblical Hebrew and other ancient tongues the word al or el is a name for God, as in El-ohim, the creator gods of Genesis. The second thing is that the goal or summum bonum of the Alchemical quest is the Philosophers Stone, the means for concocting the Universal Medicine with which extraordinary restorative or regenerative effects are conferred upon the alchemist. Here we can begin to get the sense that the Grail mythos and the obscure symbolism of alchemy are inextricably intertwined. Charpentier goes on to say: “In practice we cannot separate the word “Grail” from the word “Cauldron.” In early Celtic times it was in the Cauldron (caldron) of Lug that “universal medicines” were cooked over a special fire . . . Grail is a Celtic word; but one comes across the legend of the sacred cup under other names in other places and times. Melchisedek is represented in the north door of Chartres, known as the door of the Initiates, holding a cup that he hands to Abraham and from which the Stone protrudes . . . Under whatever name, it invariably designates a vessel whose contents are taking their part of divinity; are penetrated with it; are in the process of transmutation.” Transmutation, of course, is the fundamental process of Alchemy. In Parzival, a major Grail romance written in Middle High German by the poet Wolfram von Eschenbach, the restorative powers of the Grail are described. Wolfram’s work came subsequent to and was heavily influenced by Chretien’s Perceval. This work centers on Percival (in English) and his laborious, protracted quest for the Holy Grail in his effort to restore the debilitated king and the wasteland. It must be borne in mind that this quest is both a physical and a spiritual quest. Wolfram writes about the guardians of the Grail and of its rejuvenating powers: “It is well known to me that many brave knights dwell with the Grail at Munsalvaesche. Always, when they ride out, as they often do, it is to seek adventure. They do so for their sins, these Templars, whether their reward by defeat or victory. A valiant host lives there, and I will tell you how they are sustained, They live from a stone of the purest essence…It is called Lapis Exilis. By the power 8 Oracle 20/20 August 2013 MYSTICAL MENTORS of this stone the Phoenix is burned to ashes, but from the ashes she is reborn. Thus does the Phoenix moult and change her plumage, which afterward is bright and shining and lovely as before. This stone confers such powers on mortal men, so that their flesh and bones are made young again. The stone is called the Grail, and it is unknown, save to those who are singled out by name to join the company of the Munsalvaesche…” The linking of the Grail Knights and the Templars is highly significant. The use of the term Lapis Exilis as a name for the Grail provides another example of the use of the Language of the Birds and a profoundly important clue as to the hidden meanings within the Grail symbol. In their best selling 1982 book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail (Michael Baigent; Richard Henry Leigh and Henry Lincoln. Delacourt Press, p. 268) the authors elaborate upon the meaning of Lapis Exilis and further reinforce the association with Alchemy. “According to Wolfram, then, the Grail is a stone of some kind. But such a definition of the Grail is far more provocative than satisfying. Scholars have suggested a number of interpretations of the phrase “lapsit exillis,” all of which are more or less plausible. “Lapsit exillis” might be a corruption of lapis ex caelis― “stone from the heavens”; or of lapis lapsus ex caelis― “a stone fallen from the heaven” or finally, of lapis elixir― the fabulous Philosophers Stone of alchemy…the whole of Wolfram’s poem…is laden with alchemical symbolism. The phoenix, for example, is established alchemical shorthand for resurrection or rebirth― and also, in medieval iconography, is an emblem of the dying and resurrected Jesus.” Claim Your Power!

Available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million In the context of the articles written over the last five issues the idea of a “stone fallen from heaven” should attract your attention. The various strands of symbolism — stones fallen from heaven, dragons, the phoenix, the universal medicine, the divine king, and holy blood, are hopefully beginning to suggestively intertwine, revealing a powerful and potent image of a lost art and a science forgotten, which, in the words of John Michell “must be found and invoked again for the redemption of life on earth.” More to come.

By John Henderson, DD, CI, CT.NLP Are you the type of person who takes action or reacts to life as it pulls you along from one crisis to another? If you are in “trauma and drama” in your life, you are being pulled from one situation to another by your subconscious mind. When you were a child, your subconscious mind was programmed with all the external stimuli that came to you. Since children are in a state of hypnosis until about age seven, if family members or teachers yelled at you, told you that you were bad or shamed you, your subconscious mind recorded that as fact. Throughout childhood, there is continuous input, both positive and negative, that is recorded by the subconscious mind whether it is or not and this programming continues into adulthood. A child who sees, experiences or hears something he/she cannot bear like molestation or abuse will wall these experiences off in his or her mind because it’s too painful to bear. However, nothing is walled off from the subconscious mind this painful experience runs the adult’s life. As adults, we often run on childhood programming to pattern our lives in a way that causes us to live up to our beliefs about ourselves. While these beliefs are probably inaccurate, they are so deeply burried and ingrained that we are unaware of our participation in the process of our own self undoing. We are living reactively rather than being free to act from our conscious desires. During adulthood friends, lovers, bosses, coworkers and literally everyone you come in contact with can continue to negatively program you. People will try to manipulate you for their own benefit with no regard to the effect it may have. This is just life; it’s the way it is and we react to it with our subconscious mind programming us according to our reaction. Some people are good at letting this kind of hurtful input slide off like water off a duck’s back while others seem to be batted around like a straw in a hurricane. Many encounters with people may not seem to affect us, but they can without our knowledge because we do not know what our subconscious mind reaction is. One day we wake up and can’t understand how our life got so out of control and why we don’t have a clue what to do to straighten it out. It got into that condition from one encounter after another, one seemingly innocent comment after another and one blatant manipulation after another. The bad news is that people will not stop saying or doing things which are harmful to you. The Oracle 20/20 August 2013 good news is that there is something you can do about it. If you are stuck in a rut in your life, if you’re feeling down and traumatic things keep on happening to you, there is a wide range of things that will help. Many people are just so covered up with negative energies and attachments that it is no wonder that their lives were all bogged down to the point that they feel immobilized. These attachments can come from childhood, adulthood, a previous life or even a future life. Remember that if time is an illusion then there are no past lives or future lives but all lives are happening at the same time. You could say parallel lives, except it’s not quite that; we just don’t have proper words to explain that there is no next, just and only now. Regardless of where it is thought of being, now is when it can be released. Working on the subconscious level in the now will change the past, or at least your experience of it in the present. There are a variety of modalities that may be used to change the subconscious mind programming. These include, but are not limited to shamanic healing, hypnotherapy, emotional release therapy, Rolfing, NLP (neurolinguistic programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), chanting and more. The first thing that is necessary is to get the conscious mind out of the way in order to reprogram the subconscious mind. Many practitioners consider the subconscious mind to be like the hard drive of a computer. There’s no way to install new programs or to fix the programs that are bogged down with viruses until the virus programming is first removed. After that point, new programming can be installed that will run your computer like a dream. It’s the same with the human consciousness. Until the errant subconscious programming is removed, there is no way to correct the life’s direction. Once the errant programming is removed then you can create the life you consciously desire.

Skillas, PhD, FBGH, CI,MCCHt A young man named Henry in his early 30s came to me several years ago having problems with severe anger, depression, hate and porn addiction. He told me he had tried medical doctors, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists to help him without success over the years. I told him that I couldn’t treat any of his conditions because I wasn’t a licensed practitioner but that what I did was clear his layers of consciousness of negative energies and that often helped people with problems like his. He asked me to go ahead and try to help him and I did. I saw him three times in private sessions and he got somewhat better but the problem persisted so I suggested some remote work because I can dig deeper in a remote. In private sessions I can clear one layer of consciousness, but in remote sessions I can clear two layers of consciousness. He agreed and I did two remotes on him. In each of his private sessions and the first remote that I did, he improved but the condition was still there so I suggested a second remote and he agreed. The following describes his second remote. I found a total of 11 demons on him distributed between his head, neck and heart. Demons that are found in specific areas of the body are usually damaging the cell tissue in that area of the body and this leads to problems in those specific areas of the body where the demons are located. Sometimes the demons are distributed over the whole body, but all of the demons are there to destroy the person and they like doing it by depression and hope that the person commits suicide. Demons want to kill you. I found 12 Soul mind fragments attached to Henry, about half of which came from his mother and father and contained energies of depression, fear and anger. The other soul mind fragments came from men, women and children that he met in life. The energies that created the fragments in these people were fear of dying and fear of dogs and snakes. The energies that create soul mind fragments are the same energies that are transferred to the person that the fragment goes to. Henry had 2 earthbound spirits on him. The first one came onto him when he was 14 years old and was a man named Pedro, who at age 36, was beaten to death by thugs robbing him in Mexico City in 1950. The beating crushed his skull, broke his neck and back and legs, and pelvis and smashed his internal organs. They also cut off his penis. Pedro was married, had six children and was not happy because of money problems. He was a day laborer. Pedro was very depressed and angry at the world and at God. Earthbound spirits bring with them the energy of their death and the negative energy of their life to the person they attach to. The second earthbound spirit was a man named Jim who, at the age of 24, drowned while swimming, having hit his head on a rock diving into the water and cracking open his head. He was married in 1962 for one year and they were expecting a baby. Jim was a very nervous and anxious person since being hit by a car at age 10. After that he was always afraid of dying. He had panic attacks where he lost consciousness and had to stay home most of the time because he was afraid to go out of the house for fear of fainting and dying. He had terrible headaches and took many tranquilizers, which didn’t help him but often made him sick. The drugs would make him dizzy and feel spacey like he was out of his body and this scared him greatly. He prayed to God for help but didn’t get any. He felt that God had abandoned him. His mother tried to help him but she had her own problems having lost her husband 2 years earlier and was very depressed and scared.

Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally low level of glucose, which is the body’s main energy source in the blood. Usually, hypoglycemia is the result of an over secretion of insulin by the pancreas or lack of nutrition in the liver. This condition can be associated with the treatment of diabetes, or a variety of conditions, many of them rare. Hypoglycemia isn’t a disease itself — it’s an indicator of a health problem. The main symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, headache, irritability, aggressiveness, fainting spells, depression, anxiety, cravings for sweets, confusion, night sweats, weak legs, swollen feet, chest tightness, constant hunger, pain in various parts of the body (especially the eyes), nervousness, mental disturbances, or insomnia. Any or all of the symptoms may relate to the length of time from the last meal was eaten and what foods were eaten. Sweets or fats can make the symptoms worse. Blood sugar levels are influenced by the ingestion of food and drinks. The body breaks down carbohydrates from bread, rice, pasta, vegetables, fruits, juices, soups, wine, beer, and milk products into various sugar molecules. One of these sugar molecules is glucose, the main energy source for the body. Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream after eating, but it can’t enter the cells of most of the tissues without the help of insulin - a hormone secreted by the pancreas. When the level of glucose in your blood rises, it signals certain cells (beta cells) in your pancreas to release insulin. The insulin, in turn, unlocks your cells so that glucose can enter and provide the fuel your cells need to function properly. Any extra glucose is stored in your liver and muscles in the form of glycogen. This process lowers the level of glucose in your bloodstream and prevents it from reaching dangerously high levels. As your blood sugar level returns to normal, so does the secretion of insulin from your pancreas. After several hours without eating, the blood sugar level drops, another hormone from your pancreas called glucagon signals the liver to break down the stored glycogen and release glucose back into the bloodstream. This keeps the blood sugar level within a normal range until you eat again. Besides your liver breaking down glycogen into glucose, your body also has the ability to manufacture glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis. With diabetes, the effects of insulin on the body are drastically diminished, either because your pancreas doesn’t produce enough of it (type 1 diabetes) or because your cells are less responsive to it (type 2 diabetes). As a result, glucose tends to build up in your bloodstream and may reach dangerously high levels. To correct this problem, insulin or other drugs are prescribed which are designed to lower blood sugar levels. With high insulin levels relative to the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, blood sugar levels can drop too low, resulting in hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may also result if, after taking these medications insufficient food is consumed or in cases of over exercise in which more glucose is used than normal. Drinking heavily without eating can block the liver from Oracle 20/20 August 2013 releasing stored glucose into the bloodstream, causing hypoglycemia. Severe illnesses of the liver, disorders of the kidneys and long-term starvation, as in the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, can result in the depletion of substances your body needs in gluconeogenesis. Most hypoglycemia occurs in a fasting state, but not always. Sometimes hypoglycemia occurs after meals because the body produces more insulin than is needed. This type of hypoglycemia, called reactive or postprandial hypoglycemia, occurs most often in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. Sometimes, hypoglycemia can be inherited. It may also be precipitated by an improper diet. If symptoms of hypoglycemia are ignored, loss of consciousness may result because the brain needs glucose to function. Untreated hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, loss of consciousness or even death, primarily in those with diabetes. In the case of hypoglycemia coupled with diabetes, caution must be used in treating the condition. Blood sugar levels may rise too high which can be dangerous and may damage the nerves, blood vessels and various organs. Treatment for hypoglycemia can be drinking sugar water or eating candy immediately when it occurs. Western medicine offers medications and surgery according to what causes hypoglycemia. Some people may benefit from certain Chinese natural herbs and/or acupuncture to obtain a complete recovery. With hypoglycemia, it is better to eat small meals several times a day. Eating regularly is highly recommended. Reduce the intake of colas, chocolate, coffee, wine, beer, alcohol, smoking, and caffeine. Eat low fat foods. Add more vegetables such as, endive, cactus, lettuce, carrot leaf, turnip greens, swiss chard, dandelion, mint, basil, lime, lemon, and kelp to the diet. Exercise every day. Walking is the best and safest exercise for reducing excess sugar as well as fat. I would suggest fast walking in the daytime and slow walking in the late afternoon or evening if the overall health allows. After dinner, do some evening exercises to help digestion and blood circulation. Practice Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga, breathing exercise, or meditation to stay stress free and flexible. Go to bed early and exercise upon arising. Pay attention to children’s study, behavior and moods. They may have hypoglycemia without your knowing it. Take care of children early in life so they can grow up balanced and healthy. When the body is balanced, the brain will be healthy, too Contact Li Hua L.Ac.

Since 1996 he has been studying and practicing eastern and western philosophy and metaphysics. This wonderful book HEAL YOURSELF includes two different healing approaches using the subconscious mind and natural medicine. Part 1 - THE MIND IS THE KING OF HEALERS You will learn how powerful the mind is in every process of healing and you will learn how to work with the Law of Cause and Effect and the Law of vibration. Part 2 - HOW TO HEAL YOURSELF USING NATURAL MEDICINE This segment provides information about natural medicine like phytotherapy, homeopathy, advanced complex homeopathy, homotoxicology, micotherapy, nutrition and much more which we do not have space to address here. “Creative visualization is the creative process employed by forming and holding a mental image of the conditions as you wish to be in actuality. The mental image tends to create an objective form and existence: it is the mental pattern around which the material conditions tend to group themselves. It is the seed-form of the thing itself.” SUGGESTIVE HEALING : “The central theory around suggestive healing is that the disease is a mental condition, but not only a condition in the central mind, but also in the mind of the different cells and the organs. The theory of the cure is that thought suggestion overcomes the rebellious mind in the cells and organs, and forces it to resume its normal action. This form of healing is based on the supposition that all cells have a kind of basic intelligence as part of the whole mind, and therefore can be told and trained. You are not using mind against matter, but mind to train mind, the central conscious mind to train the particular cell mind. There is no dead matter in a living body, mind is in every part and cells; do not forget this, because it underlies the whole system of this type of treatment.” The human being is composed of energy and an incarnate form, and in a form that serves as an instrument that makes the principals of energy evolve. For all of us, through destiny, there are three equations to be solved: the events we must live through, the suffering that goes with them and the understanding or knowledge that we must acquire. We are all caught in the wheel of our lives, of our karmic pattern, which reminds us of the slaves that we are when we are unconscious, chained to our blind negativity, incessantly suffering morally and physically. Events represent constant action and constant adapta- 14 Interview by Marie-Claire Wilson tion, MORE OR LESS WITH EASE, to the situations presented in front of you, in everyday life. Most sickness is the price paid for all errors in comprehension and reaction. UNDERSTANDING DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY: “Depression is commonly divided in 4 types: Endogenous and exogenous depression, bipolar disorder and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). In ENDOGENOUS DEPRESSION the underlining cause is more related to the body chemistry and/or to genetic factors therefore ‘coming from within’. EXOGENOUS DEPRESSION is primarily the result of upsetting and disappointing circumstances “therefore coming from without’. In this case it tends to resolve as circumstances improve or as the individual adjusts to the circumstances. BIPOLAR DISORDER also known as manic-depressive disorder manifests as alternating manic or irritable episodes, and major depressive episodes....... The manic phase may last from days to months. It can include the following symptoms: easily distracted, little need for sleep, poor judgment, poor temper control, reckless behavior and lack of self control, binge eating, drinking and or drug use ...... SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD) happens when a person’s moods are unusually affected by periods of light and darkness. Symptoms usually build up slowly in the late autumn and winter months when they are predictably depressed......” We can’t always control what life sends us, but we can choose how we respond. All of us have immense resources for dealing with what life throws at us - but we have to learn how to release those resources. STRESS RELATED CONDITIONS: “Acute stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to heightened levels of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) and steroid hormones like cortisol. Many, if not most, of the diseases today can be linked to poor and stressful lifestyles and unresolved emotional issues.” When the mind is calm, how quickly, the healing take place!

They have unique, empowering ways of harnessing these energies for the purpose of shifting one’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life experiences. All of their teachings are based on the following three principles: 1. We are fully responsible for our reality. 3. We can change our reality. 2. We create our reality. I had the privilege of serving for eight years as apprentice and assistant to Starr Fuentes, lineage holder of these sacred Mayan traditions. I completely overhauled my life and healed myself at a very deep level as a result of these teachings. This wisdom goes back more than twenty-five generations and has been passed down directly from teacher to student by way of a series of healing processes, energy transmissions, and formal teachings. One of my favorite teachings that changed my life in significant ways involves the re-structuring and re-patterning of DNA. In modern times we have been taught that our genetic makeup is fixed at conception and that our DNA is programmed to carry forward certain family traits including the propensity for disease. Scientists have only scratched the surface of the mysteries of DNA. They have mapped out a small percentage of its function and have deemed the unknown portion as purposeless “junk.” The Mayan Curanderos have a very different understanding of this fundamental building block of life. Without the use of microscopes, they are able to use their inner vision to see into the body at a cellular level to discover spiraling structures within each person. The spiraling structures consist of multiple strands, each with its own series of codes. In the Mayan tradition, a spiritually evolved, self-actualized person has twelve strands of DNA fully in place and spiraling around one another—a twelve-stranded helix that governs and supports all aspects of one’s life. Of course most of us have not yet achieved this level of being. We start off at birth with at least two strands fully in place. The other strands float at random angles and placements within our energy field and gradually become anchored into our cellular structure as we continue to mature emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Energetic processes are used to assist and speed up the anchoring process. Each of the twelve strands governs a different aspect of life. The Mayan teachings include names and descriptions of the qualities of each of the twelve strands. The specific strands that are most firmly anchored within Oracle 20/20 August 2013 us contribute to our personality and life choices. We tend to gravitate toward people who have at least one anchored strand in common with us. We choose friends, partners, employees, practitioners, teachers, and mentors based on which strands are most active. As we look back at our life, we can trace various phases according to the strand we were most focused on strengthening. Those of us on a spiritual path may feel that we have lived several lives in this one lifetime. We can identify distinct periods in which we were extremely focused on one thing which we successfully completed and then moved on to something else. Often these phases correspond to the specific strand that was being anchored in at that time. Once a strand is fully activated, we shift our attention to a new energy in order to anchor in the next strand. This process occurs naturally, with or without awareness of the actual strands. With conscious knowledge of the twelve strands, we can choose which strand to focus on at any given time to support our present goals. There is a process of DNA mapping in which we provide re-patterning instructions for each of the twelve strands of DNA. In this process we turn off the energetic codes of unwanted family traits and activate the energetic codes of desired ones. This process works for physical traits as well as for emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual energies we choose to shift or enhance. Recipients of this work notice significant changes in their lives within six months of experiencing the re-patterning process. It is possible to learn how to do this process for oneself to use throughout all of the phases of one’s life. As we re-pattern the strands and codes of our own DNA, positive changes occur within our family members as well. We can diffuse the energies of genetic disease and we can bring forward positive family traits that have become dormant over the years. If we do not like the energy of our DNA as it is, we can change it. It is important to keep in mind the principles listed at the top of this article: we create our reality and we can change our reality. We are not victims of our DNA, in spite of what modern science may have us believe. We are empowered beings capable of creating new realities for ourselves and for our loved ones.

Only 5% of our behavior is conscious and on purpose. When we fall in love; however, we tap into 90% of our conscious mind and operate on purpose from a conscious, aware place and only 10% of our behavior is motivated unconsciously. BL: The honeymoon stage is a virtual state of mindfulness pushed into play without any exercise at all. Every act and every thought that you and your partner have is coming from conscious wishes and aspirations. You may think how crappy your life was before you met this person, but now with this person, you manifest heaven on earth. Then the honeymoon starts to fade. Day one, first fading moment is this: I’ll use Margaret and myself. We’ve had this honeymoon thing going and it’s really, really great. Then my mind is wandering, I’m thinking about how I have to go fix the car and my mind is all about how I’m going to do it. Margaret asks me a simple question, and to her surprise I turn around and yell “BLAH, BLAH, BLAH”. She looks at me, and this is where the typical phrase comes from, and says, “Who are you? Where’d that behavior come from?” So we get to see where that behavior came from. It’s subconscious behavior from my father. Why am I playing it? Because I wasn’t paying attention and when I played it, did I see that I did it? The answer is NO. But now Margaret has just accused me of not being me. Then I have to get very defensive because I can’t understand what she’s talking about because I wouldn’t be so negative or so bad – yeah, in my conscious mind no. But when I was playing my father’s behavior, I wasn’t observing it, just like Bill (example from July article). This negative behavior came out and I didn’t see it. So the communication is a real breakdown of the relationship because she’s asking “Where’d that come from?” and I’m defending myself saying “I don’t even know what you’re talking about!” SH: So are saying that you don’t even remember doing it? BL: No, I didn’t even see myself doing it, so we have the first compromise. Had this behavior happened on the first date, we might not have ever gone on to date two. But you’ve had this great honeymoon and this behavior shows up and you say to yourself “Oh well, O.K. I don’t really like it, on my own I really wouldn’t really put up with it, but the other stuff is really good. O.K. I’ll compromise.” The moment of the compromise is the beginning of the breaking of the honeymoon. Because now you’re saying I’ve got to put up with behavior that I wouldn’t normally put up with, but I’ll do it because 16 Interview By Sherry Henderson this other stuff is good. Every day now as my mind starts going further away from the world of conscious thinking and more and more into my subconscious programming, doing what my father does. Every day now there are more and more compromises that are becoming part of the relationship. The relationship is now starting to go away with compromise, because you are living a life that you wouldn’t normally want to live, but you’re doing it because of whatever benefit. These compromises can build up to a point where one more compromise is now too many. So now you’re at a point where you’re thinking, “O.K. I’m no longer compromising. The relationship is over”. And both people are thinking, “Wow, how did something so beautiful turn into this?” The answer is this: It started with two minds and ended with four minds – and two of those minds came from other people. SH: Wow, what a great analogy. I think that anyone who has been in a long term successful relationship understands that when the stranger shows up, it’s time to deal with that. BL: Absolutely, but when you compromise, it’s very hard to come back later and change it. The thinking is “Well we’ve done it for a year this way. What do you mean you don’t like it?” If you didn’t speak about it in the first moment, then by your quietness, you’ve accepted that. SH: When people first get into the “falling out of love” period, what’s the most important thing that you would say to them? BL: Start to realize that the behaviors that you’re dealing with are not the behaviors of that conscious, spirit, individual person. This person has been infected more or less by behaviors that were downloaded during childhood. They are invisible, so rather than precipitating an argument when something like this shows up, deal with it then. This is why both people in a relationship have to understand what I’m talking about. If one person understands it and tries to tell the other person, it will never work, because one person is trying to fix the other and the other is not even recognizing a reason to be fixed. And there’s a problem right there. Both people have to be aware that when a thing comes up and it’s discussed in a calm quiet way of “Oh my goodness, I don’t think you see this and I don’t think you really meant it” then there’s a discussion. You’re saving a relationship. When it becomes, “I have to defend myself against your accusation.” You’re breaking a relationship. So the opportunity is to recognize that the behavior wasn’t necessarily what you wanted or what you intended. Then if the other person is aware of that Oracle 20/20 August 2013 FEATURES and sees it in context, this is not an argument. This is a discussion. This is a learning moment and every time you stop the behavior, you are creating habit. The habit gets to where you don’t have to say it too many times, because when it starts to habituate, the individual who was being stopped will automatically stop because he/ she has a memory of being stopped each time so that memory of being stopped overrides the behavior and it will stop even before it begins. That means that you have erased the response. SH: What about the people who have given up on relationships? Do you think that they could find happiness with their own honeymoon effect while remaining alone, and, if so, is it possible for them to draw the right person to themselves once that honeymoon effect has been achieved on their own? BL: Absolutely! Let’s get to the problem, and this is the number one problem from looking at audiences and belief change programs that I get involved with, when we do a belief check of the subconscious, which is muscle testing, with this one statement; “I love myself” it turns out that 80% or greater in any audience will not test positive for that. The reason for that is very simple to understand, but you have to work with it now. Imagine the coach of a team and one of the players isn’t doing well. What does the coach do? The coach says something like, “You can do better than that. Try harder. You don’t deserve this, you should go out there and do better.” The coach, in concept, is not spurring the player on to do better by criticizing them. Now here’s the problem. Parents act as coaches without knowing how the child is learning and this is where the problem comes from. The child is not conscious until after age seven. So when the parent says “not good enough” the child’s brain is not working on a conscious level thinking “oh what they’re really telling me is that if I tried harder, I’d be better”, the child before age seven just records thatnot good enough, not deserving – not smart enough – not healthy enough, whatever these negative things are the child records that and that becomes a behavioral program. So almost all of us do not love ourselves Oracle 20/20 August 2013 because of the critical aspect that the parents offer in their efforts to help us be better. Parents are unaware that “I cannot do better if I don’t have the consciousness to interpret what you mean and all I’m doing is recording what you say”. I say, go back and listen to what parents say to kids with all that negative talk which wasn’t intending to be negative, but was intended to be helpful, which doesn’t work if the child’s mind isn’t working in that capacity. So, all of us have come through a life of “we’re not good enough” for whatever reasons the critical assessments are. When we buy into and just record the beliefs “not good enough” then you can’t love yourself because you’re not good enough. You can’t logically accept the love of somebody else for a very simple reason. If you’re not worthy of being loved in your consideration and somebody loves you, then what does that say about them? SH: It’s like the old “I wouldn’t belong to any club that would let me in!” mentality. BL: That’s the game and this happens because parents are totally unaware that every word they say is totally recorded and not consciously deciphered by the child. The parent’s efforts at coaching are the biggest problem of all. All they point out is that the individual isn’t good enough, worthy enough or whatever - then, the recording of that child’s brain is “not good enough”. That, since it’s 95% of our life [unconscious thinking/programming] will be the monkey wrench that is thrown in almost all of our relationships, because we’re seeking a relationship to be loved, but unconsciously, we don’t deem ourselves of being lovable. Try and get out of that problem! You can’t get out of that problem unless you change the belief system. That’s why I went back over the problem of there being two minds, there’s no awareness of there being any problem. People still think that they run their lives with their conscious mind and when their life doesn’t work, they still think that they are working with their conscious wants and desires when that’s not true at all. continued on page 19 17 FEATURES FEATURES 18 Oracle 20/20 August 2013 continued from page 17 FEATURES They are actually playing self-sabotaging behavior, but are unaware when they’re playing it. They’re shooting themselves in the foot and can’t figure out why their foot’s so bloody. Without this understanding then we’re blind and when we put blame and victim and shame and God knows all these other words on ourselves, it’s really just all about not being aware of how the system works. If you could take the subconscious mind programs and rewrite them so that they match your conscious mind wishes and desires, the results would be profound. That means that you would have heaven on earth every day of your life as long as you live, because even when you’re not paying attention, you’d still be engaging the behavior that brought you the love. SH: So, then it’s really possible that couples who have allowed their marriage to go stale can reinvigorate their relationship by becoming conscious? BL: They are unhappy because they are completely unaware of their unconscious behavior. Without that subconscious knowledge, you just can’t get out of the box. Everything is victim, guilt and shame and blame and everything else. Nobody resolves it. When both partners are willing to make changes and look at those behaviors, then the honeymoon effect is possible. SH: What’s the best piece of advice that you could give to someone who wants to have that honeymoon effect in their life whether they’re married or single? BL: The first time that I saw that in my own way was an incident that I included in the book. It was when I was with a woman in the Caribbean who said that she couldn’t be in a relationship with me because I was too needy. Well, that to me was number one for the simple reason – 80% of people will not pass the “I love myself” test. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, that’s irrelevant, the relationship part. What is most relevant is whether you love yourself. If you love yourself then you will take care of yourself. Since most of us can’t do that, then we seek love from somebody else. Then there’s the problem right there because that’s codependency. Codependency is about “I’ll do this for you and you’ll do this for me” and all of a sudden you didn’t do enough;that’s the trap. I was always looking for a relationship. Why was I always wanting a relationship? It was because I wasn’t happy and I was going to depend on Oracle 20/20 August 2013 happiness from this other person. When the conscious mind got a hold of what I was doing, it was like “HOLY CRAP”! I thought “Oh my God she was right!” I looked at my life and I had everything except a partner. I was living beautifully in the Caribbean, I had money, I had the most beautiful place in the world, my job was great, but I didn’t have a person and that’s what I thought that I needed to be happy. After she said that, I went back to my home and looked around and said to myself, “If you can’t be happy with this, there’s just not a lot of hope for you.” The point was – let go of needing a relationship and work on enjoying every moment. The beautiful part of that is that once I let go of the need of a relationship, there were opportunities for relationships everywhere. When people have problems in a relationship, they are usually perceiving themselves as victims of something, usually the other person. The thing about that is that 95% of our behavior, we don’t even see. When we realize “wait a minute, I’ve been blaming a lot of other people and I’ve been sabotaging myself”. Everybody wants to fix the other person. There’s the thought that “I’ll be happy when I find the perfect somebody or when I find him/her I can fix him/her and make a perfect partner”. When you are totally happy without another person, you’re a prime candidate for a relationship. It shifts the direction and the focus from the feeling that it’s the other person that needs to fill the spot to the focus of loving ourselves first. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., cell biologist, author of The Honeymoon Effect: The Science of Creating Heaven on Earth and the bestselling THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF: UNLEASHING THE POWER OF CONSCIOUSNESS, MATTER AND MIRACLES, and co-author of SPONTANEOUS EVOLUTION: OUR POSITIVE FUTURE (AND A WAY TO GET THERE FROM HERE) 19 FEATURES Our Bodies - Proof that We Create Matter By Lee Sumpter We all think of our life as a succession of physical, personal and social events. We have a birth date; then, we pass through babyhood, childhood, adolescence and on to adulthood. Even as adults we go through many changes so that when we are 50, we may not look much like we did when we were 20. We have our succession of educational events. We get jobs, get married, and have families. We originate the succession of life events of our children and witness those. There is, however, another succession of life events that we pay little attention to, but which is more fundamental and essential to life itself. That is the succession of cell divisions; millions of cell divisions each minute, which make all life possible. These cell divisions actually produce the various body shapes and sizes that accompany each stage in our life from infancy to maturity. Our bodies are really atomic dynamos. We must constantly create new bodies to go with each part of our life and to replace worn out organs and body parts. We create the necessary molecules out of atoms and energy. We arrange them in the patterns appropriate for each organ or body part, and we measure out our features precisely as we pass through the various stages of life. Our limbs need to be a certain length relative to our torso. The features of our face are precisely arranged so that they are even measurable by computers. Our bodies change constantly, but always within a preordained pattern. Miraculously, all of those who share their lives with us are also creating new matter and new cells for their bodies. Their su c c essi o n of cell creation must correspond to ours, so that they are at the stages in their life that correspond to ours. Obviously we need our parents to be older than we are, but not too much older. We need our friends to be about the same age. Our co-workers need to be of various ages. In other words, if our parents or our friends generate cells or “age” at rates that do not correspond to ours, everything will be out of sync. Imagine parents with a slow rate of cell growth who appear only a few years older than their children. This does happen in some cultures, so that it appears that the rate of cell growth and bodily change appears to be a collective, cultural phenomenon. Here certain oriental cultures come to mind. From this it is clear that what a body is supposed to look like at different ages varies around the world. It is not a constant. A thirty-five year old Filipino can look completely unlike a German of the same age. Body cosmetics brought about by cell division may vary vastly according to race and culture. Our cells must not only provide us with an animate 20 body, but they must also process information. They may also remember information. It is our cells that tell us who is family, friend, neighbor or tribe. They may also sense not only all kinds of danger, but many subtleties within a certain situation. Our cells help us find a mate if we are to have one. They process matter from the world to nourish us. At some point in our lives, the cells may even need to behave in ways so that we are diseased. This too may be programmed as in the case of inherited disease. All of this is done while cells are dying off and regenerating at a rapid rate. There must be something outside of the matter of the cells themselves that keeps track of all of this. Cells demonstrate that we can create matter from other matter and energy around us and that we apparently create sensitive, intelligent matter to suit our needs. On a microscopic level, someone from another planet might observe that it is this process of cell creation through cell division that is really the expression of human consciousness on Earth. It is certainly a much more complex process than getting through first grade or finding our first job. There are so many factors that control what types of cells are needed in what parts of the body at each point in the succession of cell divisions. It could be pointed out that if it is our soul that uses Earth energy to make the atoms and molecules in our cells in such precise yet complex ways, then why would the soul necessarily just stop with the body? Why could it not be that the soul makes all of the matter of our lives? The soul could simply make matter that corresponds to each of the senses of the body, such as relatively solid matter for touch, light emitting matter for vision, etc. Following this reasoning turns our understanding of life into something far different from a material body in pursuit of material objects. In fact, it provides the premise for a whole new way to understand our life. L. R. Sumpter is an author and lecturer.

Americans have seen it all when it comes to government waste. So the government has to do something pretty stupid to actually catch people’s attention. The State Department spending $633,000 in taxpayer dollars to get more ‘likes’ on Facebook definitely caused outrage across social media today. Why in the world does the State Department feel it is necessary to spend $630k on something as juvenile and pointless as Facebook ‘likes’? GlennBeck.com 2.

Perhaps, there is something to global warming and we will see more effects including more wildfires during the summer into the fall. – 2013 Forecasts, Cal Orey January Oracle 20-20 The news is, Western wildfires are becoming “more immense” than ever before. This summer, science gurus claim the Arizona wildfire and other fires burning in the West are not an earthshaking surprise as the planet gets hotter. And, of course, warmer temperatures and drought are not to be ignored during a longer fire season. In July, more than 24 wildfires are burning in the West (including Colorado, Southern California, and Nevada), many triggered by the heat wave, lack of humidity, and winds. One unforgettable wildfire in Arizona, took the lives of 19 firefighters in the mountain town of Yarnell. Worse, the U.S. Forest Service notes wildfires in the West are more commonplace than a half a century ago. So, are Western wildfires really raging out of control? Read on—find out the lowdown on terrifying and destructive summer/fall wildfires and Mother Nature. GLOBAL WARMING TO BLAME—OR NOT? Like many of the effects attributed to global warming, fires have been occurring for many years—with and without man’s help. Yes, surprisingly, the world has had its share of fires before you were born and before industrialization of the 20th century. In nature, lightning causes a number of fires every year. Whether we like it or not, fires actually serve a purpose in the environment. A forest not gardened out or not subject to brush clearing fire on a regular basis will develop a ground cover which can cause an extremely hot, low fire that sterilizes the soil when a fire eventually does occur. The main complaint in the thinly stretched globalwarming-leads-to-more-fires chain is that fires created by global warming will have a negative effect on the total count up of species, ecosystems, and peoples’ habitat in a given location. And that’s not all… FIRE SEASON IS GETTING BIGGER, BADDER Some researchers believe that some areas of the world, including the western United States should prepare themselves for more wildfires. It doesn’t take a savvy scientist to tell you that wacky weather and rising temperatures thanks to the below average snowfall in the Western states is partially to blame for wildfires in the past and future. While weather is a key factor, the jury is still out whether Western states are victims of climate change. Whether you live in the Western states or East Coast, Deep South, or Midwest, wildfires may affect you one 22 day. Take a look at these factoids, straight from the website http://www.smokeybear.com/wildfires.asp— and find out what you can do to stay aware of a problem on our planet that appears to be on the rise. Facts on Fires: • In 2011, there were 10,249 wildfires caused by lightning, but 63,877 wildfires caused by human error (as reported to the National Interagency Fire Center). • In 2011, more than 8.7 million acres burned due to wildfires in the U.S. More than 5.4 million acres burned due to human-caused wildfires. Common ways YOU could unintentionally start a wildfire • • • • • • unattended debris burning equipment fires: lawnmowers, ATVs, power equipment smoking unattended campfires fireworks carelessly discarding fireplace or BBQ ashes For more information: http://www.fire.ca.gov/ http:// www.usfa.fema.gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/wildfire/ As a native Californian, I know the danger of wildfires. More than 30 years ago, I lived in Santa Cruz Mountains, Calif. In the summertime, the High Fire Danger signs were a constant reminder that our community was a victim of wildfires. In 1991, I was on the beat as a journalist for the deadly Oakland Firestorm—an unforgettable event that affected homes, people and their pets. And in 2007, I ended up evacuating South Lake Tahoe, to avoid the drama of the Angora Fire. While fire season is not over, and the wildfires continue to spread, this year may or may not be one that goes down in history. As wildfires break out in the states West of me, I cannot help but wonder, “Are we next?” The sound of sirens and plumes of smoke have me and my pets on guard. I know living in the forest I am too close for comfort and a wildfire during the summer and fall can become a harsh reality of living in paradise.

Soak the dates in water to cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grind the buckwheat groats in a blender or food processor until they are fine crumbs, almost flour. Set them aside in a separate bowl, add the shredded coconut and mix well. 2. In a food processor, blend the remaining ingredients on high speed for 20 seconds or until a chunky batter forms. Add to the buckwheat coconut mixture and combine well. 3. Scoop pancakes onto Teflex-lined dehydrator trays and flatten them out to your desired size. The smaller they are, the less time they’ll take to dehydrate. You’ll want them to be about 1/2-inch thick to start because they’ll flatten out a little as they dry out. 4. Dehydrate at 115°F for 6 to 8 hours, flip them over, remove the Teflex sheets and continue dehydrating for another 4 to 6 hours. You want them to be a bit squishy still when you press on them with the outsides not too dry. They are definitely best served fresh out of the dehydrator but will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days.

Once again we have an exciting addition to Herb The Cat’s reminiscences. This month we are going to look at the negative and positive aspects of anger. The first thing to consider about any emotion is that all, yes ALL emotions flood through your body as you are experience them. The United States Army has done a lot of experiments having to do with this, but the most important of these is an experiment where they took some of the volunteers DNA and put it in a jar in the laboratory, hooked them up to sensors and put the volunteer in front of a TV while playing different movies for them to watch. When they played movies about fighting, killing, anger and mayhem. the DNA in the jar in the lab tightened up and their vibration went down. When they played movies about comedy, beautiful landscapes and fluffy bunnies, their vibration raised and their DNA loosened up as it unwound. Anytime there is movement in your DNA, since it is made up of strings of atoms, these strings move around and touch each other in different positions actually CHANGING your DNA. If it is violence and mayhem, your DNA is changed negatively, but the fluffy bunnies change it positively. The choice as to what movies to see or who to associate with is yours. The mood of the movie and the friend’s demeanor affects you whether you are angry or not, so you are constantly programming your DNA. Now that you know that you can elect to raise or lower your vibration, you can act accordingly depending on how you want your life to go. So the negative aspects of anger can lower your vibration and change your DNA for the worse. At the beginning of this month’s article I talked about both positive and negative aspects of anger, so here comes the positive. Yes, there can be a positive aspect when you are at your bottom. Abraham, channeled by Hicks gives us a 22 (twenty two) steps of emotions in which we are at one of these steps any one time in our day. Number one is joy and peace, number seventeen is anger and number twenty two is deep depression. So, to move in the direction of number one, if we are at depressed at twenty two, to get angry and going up to seventeen is an improvement. Herb The Cat says “ponder on these things”, get out of depression and go to fluffy bunnies. Herb The Cat is a free lance writer who writes for Healthy Cay, Good Vets and Oracle20-20 magazines.

Name withheld upon request` On Not Becoming Famous By Gini Graham Scott, Ph.D Recently, I’ve been reading about the trials and tribulations of the very rich and famous, and realized the aspiration to be part of that elite may not be so great as it’s cracked up to be.. One reason is that becoming rich and famous may become more of a curse than a blessing, so maybe it’s time to appreciate NOT being rich and famous. A second reason is that the rich and famous live in a publicity glass cage, like prisoners of their fame, where they are continually onstage, like characters in a modern-day soap opera, in which their sagas and scandals are like modern-day morality stories. While these stories help reinforce our social values of right and wrong or get a dialog going about this, the individuals at the center of these stories are under a public microscope and subject to the slings and arrows of public opinion. Several recent stories led me to think about these issues. One is the international fight over Edward Snowden, who became a sudden celebrity after he leaked evidence that NSA has been collecting information about just about everyone from our phone records and the Internet. Wherever he ends up and whether or not he is indicted for crimes by the U.S. government, his story has triggered a debate over the nature of society and the values of privacy versus security in an information age facing threats of terrorism. Still another front-page drama is the scandal surrounding Paula Deen, once the fourth most popular chef, earning $17 million for her TV shows, books, products, and fees as a spokesperson from several food companies. What started the scandal ball rolling is a statement she made in a lawsuit against her and her husband that she used the “N” word as a racial slur against a former employee. She has since been fired by ABC; and many companies who used her as a spokesperson or sold her products dropped her. So despite her multiple apologies to the media, her brand has been severely if not permanently damaged, because in an age supporting racial acceptance and equality, her apology was not enough. Instead, the media went into overdrive chronicling her fall, like the end of the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. Then there was the Aaron Hernandez story, where sports, fame, celebrity, and money came together in the tale of a bad boy athlete who allegedly killed his Oracle 20/20 August 2013 good friend Odin Lloyd for disrespecting him by talking to the wrong people at a nightclub. Whatever the outcome, the Hernandez brand is forever tarnished, and he has already been dropped from the team, and will lose millions, both from his top lawyers and the losses in income and endorsements. Meanwhile, I’ve been watching the Monarchy series on Netflix that traces the rise of kings in England from the days of Alfred in the Middle Ages through the reign of Henry the 8th. As much as power-seeking over as large a kingdom as possible was valued, once in power, the rulers were continually under siege from others with designs on the throne. The result was continual battles between the royal supporters and the opposition, and often the current ruler was deposed or killed, along with his or her main supporters. These stories illustrate these key points about wealth and fame. First, as much as becoming rich and famous is valued in our age of media-driven celebrity, maybe it’s overrated. Certainly, one needs a minimum income to become secure and comfortable. But once having that security, one can lead a relatively peaceful life with family and friends, without being caught up in the struggle for glory and acquiring ever more money, while facing a relentless media ready to find a flaw to bring someone down. For example, if Paula Deen was an ordinary chef, little notice would have been given to a similar lawsuit claiming discrimination, but Deen’s fame turned it into a scandal, destroying a reputation that took decades to build in a few hours. Secondly, these stories remind us about what we consider right and good, whatever the outcome for the person at the center of the turmoil. For example, the Snowden case reminds us of the value of personal privacy, while Snowden has paid a high personal price for sparking this debate. The Paula Deen case reminds us how far we have come in accepting diversity and tolerance, though the media and corporate America may have overreacted in turning Deen into a pariah for something she did decades ago and disavows now. And the Hernandez case reminds us despite fame and wealth, one can readily fall by an evil action, and then there is no going back. Thus, while being rich and famous can bring many perks, such as a luxurious, elegant lifestyle and the finest products, services, and travel, there are many downsides. Do you still want to join the rich and famous ranks? At least keep in mind the potential risks due to greed, envy, excess, missteps, and the media glare. And if you’re not rich and famous, think of all the benefits you may gain – so the ideal of gaining wealth and fame may not, after all, be so great.

Research conducted at the Harvard Medical School’s Mind/Body Medical Institute by Dr. Herbert Benson has found that focused walking meditations are highly efficient at reducing anxiety and eliciting what Dr. Benson calls the ‘relaxation response’. This effect has significant long-term health benefits, which have led hundreds of hospitals, health care facilities, and spas to install labyrinths. In this class, we will discuss the background of the labyrinth and its benefits. We will construct a labyrinth outdoors. You will leave this workshop with the tools to construct your own meditation labyrinth. $125 10 AM - 5 PM Materials Included Monday, August 26 Intermediate Astrology 3 Workshop with Sherry Henderson Horary astrology is the art of divining an answer to a specific question based on the time the question was asked.
