Quotes Concerning the Journey of Life

Defeating the New World Order and creating a free world on this planet is the destination.

Speaking out, helping others, enjoying life, and evolving as individuals along the way is a critical part of the journey towards this end goal.

If we believe that we will be unsuccessful in our goal of overcoming tyranny and global oppression, then the journey towards humanity's destined liberation will be a painful one.

Therefore I feel it is important to reflect on how we are living our lives today on this journey towards the challenging adventurous future ahead. This means that we ought to seek to find and refine how we can be present and walk mindfully as we step along the path of our lives.

2010: This is it.

Here we are in 2010, a year some say is the year of Truth and Peace.

It can be, it will be, if we WILL it into reality and create it instead of waiting for it to be created for us.

Reality however is that things naturally get worse for people before they realize there is even a problem. America is a few heart beats from hitting bottom and then and only then will people realize that they need to change.

Lucky for us we are able to see the coordinates for where the NEW WORLD ORDER would like to take us, but knowing is only half the battle.

We need to work to get to a place inside our hearts where we feel POWERFUL and STRONG.

However you get there is up to you. But get there you must.

What Happens Above Still Affects our Lives Below

Under close examination of why I feel at times like I'm losing my mind, and ability to balance my emotional state....here is the first ever ALEX ANSARY 5:03AM astrology report:

First of all, as much as I've always disliked hearing people blaming unpleasant circumstances in their lives on Mercury Retrograde, I must say that the timing of it is well...very timely indeed. The current cycle at time of writing takes place between Dec 25th 2009 and Jan 16th 2009.

Here's a basic description of Mercury Retrograde:

In 2009, Mercury retrogrades four times, starting the retrograde in air signs then going back into earth signs. The change in mental attitudes, information and perceptions are going to go back to review the earth aspects, which means that we will be changing and adjusting our thinking and re-organizing an important area of our life. Because 2009 is universally an ELEVEN / TWO year (in numerology), this Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the major adjustments as we move into relationships and shifting our journey with others coming and others going. Partnerships in different areas of our lives become the theme and the area of adjustments all the way through 2009. Important to our new journey are those that share a common path, we can walk along the road together toward specific goals, accomplishments and purpose. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and communications about our direction.


Relationships can be very strange and complicated. I've heard of lots of breakups recently and I personally feel like breaking up with the world and all it's people, getting on my spaceship and going back to wherever this soul originated from.

What this website has to say about VENUS is interesting:

It reads:

"The planet Venus is the ruler of love on Earth. When Venus changes signs in the zodiac, the rules in the game of love change as well. After a few weeks in passionate Scorpio, Venus is moving into Sagittarius. This is a sign of adventure, optimism and breaking free of commitments. Knowing where this planet is can allow you to plan ahead on what to wear and how to behave when you are out and about. When you work with Venus energy, attracting the right partner is made so much easier. When you understand that your place in the universe is determined by your zodiac sign, you can benefit from timing your outfits and attitude to coincide with the location of Venus in the heavens."

This time frame is between Dec 1 and Dec 25.

In my most recent experience with the opposite sex, the passion and mutual attraction was higher early in the month in a variety of ways, now I feel this energy coming in that's hindering that close connection and I wouldn't be surprised if it's all over. I also find that I'm having trouble communicating my thoughts fully. This is larger than romance of course. Its really about ALL relationships, communications, and connections with others in our lives....

Ok - Now let's dry those tears and lets move on to:

SATURN AND PLUTO

That peaked on the 16th of Dec so we must be feeling some of the aftershocks.

Here's the description from this website:

Saturn will enter Libra at the end of this month and will form a square to Pluto that will closely align in early November, just in time to see this frightening movie about the end of all civilizations on earth which is being released on November 13. Coincidentally, the exact square from Saturn to Pluto peaks on the 15th.When the Lord of Karma (Saturn) and and the Lord of Death (Pluto) collide t can shake people up. The last time they met was between August and November of 2001 and you might remember the events that occurred then. Certainly there was change and fear ruled the land. Their previous meeting in 1973 and 1974 was less eventful, but the opening square of Saturn to Pluto in 1982 resulted in widespread economic recession, and the opposition of Saturn to Pluto in 2005 which included Uranus was also quite powerful and created some major changes.

Additional shift I am experiencing and possibly some of you as well:

If you are between 28-30 OR 57-59 OR 86-88, you ALREADY have your plate full because you are going through SATURN RETURN.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!

Last week a huge sun spot took place that is seven times the size of Earth!

Read about the "1035" sun spot here. The article claims a stream of energy burst toward earth.

Any idea how this can affect our planet and our moods?

In my Feb 25, 2009 article on sunspots that made it to Nexus Magazine, I detail possible effects of the sun here.

There is more information to be found here and here. (NOTE: We are currently in solar minimum. Activity is expected to peak between 2012 and 2013. NASA claims this next cycle will be 30-50 times greater than the last cycle.)

From the article linked above:

. Historically, research has been conducted to link the 11 year cycle of the sun to changes in human behavior and society. The most famous research had been done by professor A.L. Tchijevsky, a Russian scientist, who presented a paper to the American Meteorological Society at Philadelphia in the late 19th century. He prepared a study of the history of mass human movement compared to the solar cycle, beginning with the division of the Solar cycle into four parts: 1) Minimum sunspot activity; 2) increasing sunspot activity; 3) maximum sunspot activity; 4) Decreasing sunspot activity. He then divided up the agitation of mass human movements into five phases:

1) provoking influence of leaders upon masses

2) the “exciting” effect of emphasized ideas upon the masses

3) the velocity of incitability due to the presence of a single psychic center

4) the extensive areas covered by mass movements

5) Integration and individualization of the masses

By these comparisons he constructed an “Index of Mass Human Excitability” covering each year from 500 B.C. to 1922 A.D. He investigated the histories of 72 countries in that period, noting signs of human unrest such as wars, revolutions, riots, expeditions and migrations, plus the number of humans involved. Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the most significant events occurred during the years of maximum sunspot activity. He maintained that the “exciting” period may be explained by an acute change in the nervous and psychic character of humanity, which takes place at sunspot maximum.

Tchijevsky discovered that the solar minimum is the lag period when repression is tolerated by the masses, as if they lacked the vital energy to make the needed changes. He found that during the sunspot maximum, the movement of humans is also at its peak.

That is all I have for now. All this is happening as the New World Order merchants of death are dangling a knife over our country and the future is highly uncertain which is straining our emotions greatly, more so for people like myself that are extra sensitive. Things for me are very challenging these days on a emotional/social/spiritual/psychological level. However, I'm aware that the reality I'm living in is not actually in hell, at times only the perception of it. So obviously the route I've chosen to take is to look closer for answers as to why I feel the way I do.

There is something going on affecting us all.

Stay strong and powerful friends. Knowledge is power. But wisdom is sweeter and even more attractive now.

Perception

We are viewing reality through a telescope. This telescope is our body. We were never born. We just are consciousness, looking through the lens. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

It's about perception.

Lets use a brick as an example.

Your standing their looking at the brink

and you take ten steps back its a house

step back again its a neighborhood

step back far back enough its the planet

step back some more your in another part of the solar system

It's about the point of observation.

You can't run from who you are

A lot of people over the years have asked me what I do for fun or if I ever just relax and unwind. The very fact that I am being asked this question indicates how people assume that the calling that I have answered and the lifestyle I have chosen to live is bringing me pain.

Although my voice may sound stressed from time to time as I alert the masses that our way of life is under attack by forces from within our own government, it doesn't necessarily mean that my serenity has been harmed. The reality of the situation is that the country is falling apart at the seams and the stakes are high. The very awareness of the situation isn't something that you just turn off nor should you. That would dangerous. That would be irresponsible. You might even regret it.. for a very long time.

The reality is people on this planet are here for a reason and they come in to this reality with a particular understanding of reality and their connection to the rest of humanity and the universe. Everyone has their own unique understanding that is uniquely theirs for whatever reason.

There are three basic factors that make up the individual psyche / personality in ha human body.

1.) The knowledge and history of the soul / spirit inhabiting a body

2. ) Cellular memory and the connection to the biological past - our ancestors (lifestyles, sexuality, spirituality, ritual, pleasures, challenges, fears, survival needs)

3.) External environment: Humans naturally conform in a variety of ways to their immediate environment via culture, language, behavior, etc.

There may be certain goals or accomplishments they need to achieve in this lifetime or hurdles that they are here to overcome. Although we are all one in a sense, we still are individuals here to learn unique things that hopefully will help us evolve to the next level.

I have awoken to the reality that I am working here on this planet for a higher purpose that many do not and cannot at this time comprehend because they are on different paths and possess different karma. Fortunately, I have woken up to what my life path is and mission. For me that puts me at ease, not disease. Lack of direction and understanding of where and who we are creates disease or lack of ease with ourselves.

I see the social and spiritual disease within our society sometimes every hour of every day The word "surreal" comes to mind for a situation where finding the words to describe the scene are not easy to come by. The characters in this theater of life that I live in seem more prepared to star as zombies in a movie like 'Night of the Living Dead' than anything that might be perceived as normal or sane. The increasingly acute aawareness of the dumbed down zombie masses around me is activated when I walk down the street, through the park, alongside the waterfront, inside the supermarkets, the malls, the schools, the buses. It's as if I can feel their mind control software programs bouncing off the walls and off of me. At times these places where the masses gather appear to be nothing more at times than breeding grounds for a disenfranchised population of suffering souls who appear lost in the wilderness with peoples insanity, confusion, anger, and feer feeding and bouncing off one another.

The appearance of emptiness and confusion emanates fiercely from the eyes of the young and old, rich and poor, black and white, men and women. I wish I could say the right words the right way to make them smile and see the truth about the world we live in and the way out of the bondage that seems to be everywhere in this current physical / material level of existence. I want to take their pain away. However, I realize now that the reality is I can only show the way to the door outside the cage or box. I can't carry them through it or walk for them if they insist on crawling or holding on to the past. By the same token, I am on my own path in this strange universe working on passing through my own door. It is their responsibility to find their door, just as it is mine. I can only try to help them selflessly along the way where I see fit.

We can't just walk away from who we really are. By bravely facing our true selves in our personal hall of mirrors, we can tap into a truer, deeper level of strength we were never thought we had. Realizing our full strength and potential is the ideal contrast to the future that the powers that be are attempting to create for us without our consent. Now that so much dirt is rising to the surface for all of humanity to see, it is my honor to be apart of this awakening that's more global than most realize. What this shift and awakening is going to lead to is yet to be seen, but at the least we must remember that this is about an exercise in free will.

It is what it is.... by David Icke

IT IS ...... WHAT IT IS......words of wisdom from David Icke

IT IS ...... WHAT IT IS

The David Icke Newsletter, August 30th 2009






Hello all ...

As we head into some seriously challenging times, I am getting ever more calm and relaxed. You would think it would be the opposite, but it's not. Five little words capture where I am coming from ... it is what it is.

I find myself saying this again and again recently and, simple though it may be, the phrase carries enormous power. It doesn't mean to give in and meekly acquiesce. I am not saying 'it is what is and so I won't try to change anything'. It just 'is what it is' in the Now from which we observe what is.

I am not simply playing with words here. This is going to be very important in the months and years ahead before this global control nonsense is sorted - as it will be.

Nothing freezes human awareness and action more than denial. This is expressed as 'change the subject, I don't want to talk about it'; 'you're crazy, they would never do that'; and 'I am going to find a way to lie to myself so I don't have to face the obvious'.

'It is what it is', by its very nature, does not do denial.

Cognitive dissonance

Cognitive dissonance is a major prison for human perception and an extreme example of denial. It is the state of stress and emotional unease that people feel when their beliefs are at odds with their experience or information before them. To remove this unease, either their beliefs have to change or they have to somehow explain away the experience or information that contradicts them.

Most people do the latter by lying to themselves. They respond to the cognitive dissonance by constructing ludicrous explanations for why their beliefs and the contradictory experience or information are not contradictory at all. 'We must go to war to have peace' is a classic.

Another example is how the Orwellian state is being introduced with the most extraordinary speed and coordination worldwide while so many people vehemently deny there is any conspiracy or common force behind it.

On one hand you have the incredible organisation and coordination and, on the other, the belief that it is not organised and coordinated. This is cognitive dissonance for you.

People need to delude themselves with complete nonsense to defend their belief system from challenge or to deny that something is happening that they would rather not be happening. Like a global fascist dictatorship.

The antidote to cognitive dissonance, or what Orwell called doublethink, is ... 'It is what it is'.

Once we are prepared to accept what we see before us without editing and censorship to protect ourselves - temporarily - from changing our view or facing what we don't like, cognitive dissonance cannot manifest.

This is crucial. Unless people are honest and open enough to accept what is happening, how can they possibly do anything about it? Like I say, 'it is what it is' does not mean giving in to a situation. It is the essential starting point to not giving in through denial and thus acquiescence.

If we don't face what is, the 'what is' doesn't change and goes on getting ever more extreme. How many people have died of a disease that could have been cured at an earlier stage, but they didn't want to face the possibility of what was wrong and so they did nothing about it?

'It is what it is' must go together with 'so let's deal with it' if anything is to change for the better, either in our individual lives or collectively. Without acknowledging the first part, you never do the second.

People stay in tired, loveless, even abusive relationships, because they don't want to face what is. I have heard women concoct the most amazing excuses for their partner knocking the crap out of them. 'It was my fault, I made him mad at me'.

No, he's a brutal bully. Face it. Get out of there. He is what he is. It is what it is.

If I have a rotting piece of pie on my plate I am not going to convince myself it is fresh out of the oven just to make me feel better. If I do, the pie will go on rotting and eventually stink the place out. Stick it in the bin and make another. We can do this once we accept what is.

There is another aspect to this, too. 'It is what it is' brings you into the Now, the only moment that exists, and allows you to escape the illusory past and future. Only by being in the Now can we affect anything. There is no time, only the perception of it, and so there is no past and future.

If we 'live' in the past and future, therefore, we are 'living' - perceiving - in a world that doesn't actually exist. It is just a belief-system. How can we change anything in that state and from that 'place'? We can't. We make ourselves impotent.

The phrase goes 'it is what it is', not 'it was what it was' or 'it will be what it will be'. It perceives from the 'is', the Now, and so gives us the power to change what is, because we are in the only moment when anything can be changed.

I understand why people find it hard to conceive that there is no past and future - been there - but it is so obvious. Where are we when we think of the past? In the Now. Where are we when we think of the future? In the Now. Where were our ancestors through what we call 'history'? In the Now. Where are those that we perceive to be our successors in the future? In the Now.

There is only the Now, everything else is illusion.

'It is what it is' deletes past and future and all that goes with it - the 'if onlys' and 'what ifs?'. People have their entire lives ruined by those four words - if only, what if?

My son Jaymie was not happy the other night when his football team lost a game. 'We should have won, if only we had done this or that'. True, but they didn't. There is only what 'is' - they lost the match. The final whistle has gone, the game is over, the outcome a done deal.


Entrapped by the 'past'

There is no point pouring over what could have been or should have been ... if only, if only, if only. We just have the Now - what is - and you either accept that and get on with your life, or you go on feeling regret and disappointment about something you cannot change.

The past can then hurl you into the future as you start focussing your attention on the next game and how you must win or play well in that one. This, too, can blight your life with anxiety and nervousness about the outcome long before you can do anything about it. Will we win or will we lose again? Hey, that will be two defeats in a row, oh no!

There is another way, the way of the Now. Accept what is - we lost - and learn from the lessons of the experience. Then get on with your life without any more 'if onlys'. Enjoy the Now without the party poopers of past and future.

After all, what's the alternative? Not enjoying the Now. It doesn't sound much like fun to me. I guess what I am saying here can be summed up by this famous 'prayer':

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

I would replace 'God' with Consciousness, but the theme is the same. Unless we accept the things we cannot change, or change immediately, we destroy our enjoyment of the Now. The phrase 'It is what it is and so let's deal with it' has many expressions. There is, for instance, 'It is what it is and let's do something about it'; and there is 'It is what it is and there's nothing I can do to change it at the moment, so I have to accept what is'. Both are dealing with the 'is' by using the 'wisdom to know the difference'.

Life does not always give us the perfect hand as I am sure you've noticed (well, perfect from our perspective, anyway). There are things we like and things we don't like and if we don't treat them both as twin impostors we are going to be bouncing emotionally between floor and ceiling and end up battered in the process. Never more so than in the months and years ahead as the crazies throw their final cards that are destined, eventually, to be trumped.

Worrying about what might happen and feeling frustrated at how it could have been allowed to happen will not help us to deal with what is happening. It is what it is.

We can no longer change how we got into this mess. Nor can we affect where this mess is taking us by focussing on some illusory 'what if?' 'future'. We can only change the Now and what is, not what has been or will be. The 'will be' can change only if we change the Now.

There is another question that comes from this. Why is this happening to us? Why are we in this reality when all this is going on? Why do things happen to you and not to me and to me and not to you? Why is your life as it is and other lives as they are?

Answer those questions and you change everything.

In the earliest weeks of my conscious journey 20 years ago, a psychic told me that 'they' had a message for me. It said:

'True love does not always give the receiver what it would like to receive, but it will always give that which is best for it. So welcome everything you receive whether you like it or not. Ponder on anything you do not like and see if you can see why it was necessary. Acceptance will then be very much easier.'

That is the key, acceptance. It is what it is. I emphasise again that this does not mean acquiescence to a situation, only knowing when you can change it and when you can't.

Why me?

But back to the question. Why is your life as it is and others as they are? Can you see patterns of recurring experience in your life that mirror what is happening to you now? What is life telling you about yourself?

'Ponder on anything you do not like and see if you can see why it was necessary.'

I have learned from long and sometimes harsh experience that you can change your life by recognising what life is telling you. In effect, what one level of you is telling another level of you.

Once you acknowledge what your experience is saying, the experience disappears. The experience is not about punishment, it is about expanding awareness. Once the learning happens, there is no further need for the experience and so it dissolves into the ether.

Those who do not identify the 'why?' are destined to continue the same experience indefinitely until they do. Has he got it yet? No. Same again then, Bill.

Humanity as a whole is about to be offered an enormously challenging opportunity to identify the collective 'Why?' - why is this fascist imposition happening while we are here to experience it? The answer will not be the same for everyone, but it will for the vast majority.

When people have worked it out, the experience will be over, because it will no longer be necessary. The starting point is to ditch the denial. It is what it is and what we face we can replace.

IF ...

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-..​and-​toss,​

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

- Rudyard Kipling

Man Cries Out for God's Help, Call Answered

This story certainly causes some of us to ponder how our thoughts have power in more ways than we may know. As you seen below in this video, a man cries out to God for help as two large police officers attempt to arrest him for not providing them with ID. When asked why he was under arrest, one of the officers stated that "it didn't matter." The man believed he would be saved from the wrath of the police and after being tasered, the unthinkable happened. Makes you wonder more about the power of prayer/thought eh?




He fought back with his words, which also clearly had a psychological impact on the police. It clearly created a certain level of confusion. His determined spirit gave him the STRENGTH to resist what he saw as a unjust arrest and he called out for help and had the FAITH that he would be protected from harm. As soon as he was tasered, suddenly he had the strength to overcome the grasp of the two larger police officers.

In addition, his wife had the courage to capture this entire situation on camera. Her fearless and calm demeanor allowed her to film a steady, clear view of everything taking place and being said.

Remember to remain calm and keep a clear head as well as powering up your own powerful spirit to aid you in a potentially dangerous situation.
