As the Light matures the Heart, those every-14-minute thoughts of intercourse in whatever form begin to work as a tantric pull, bringing the mind closer to universal balance and harmony of male and female spiritual growth and maturation.

At the time this came through, I did not receive an English translation. However I am asking now - and receive a picture of a Heart full of Trees overlooking a meadow clearing at sunset, and the words, "I hear you always. Ask and I will answer."

As you explore your power base I sincerely hope memories of unconditional love arise in your heart and bring you happiness, and my hope is that you will be able to share unconditional love freely before you exit this life.

God is a being of smoke and mirrors, hiding the Truth in plain sight, but we have to gain the eyes of compassion and forgiveness in order to find Truth.

Those among us who have done our 12-Step work might find your assertions false. People change and do better. That's what we're here for.

Praise goes to the divine spark in each of us and the universe - call it God - that's just where it goes.
False praise, or blather - that's compost, eh?

Who judges Truth from falsehood? Truth itself (and we use Time in that formula) shows us the way sometimes many years after an incarnation has ended.

Judge not lest ye be so-judged in your own next incarnations.

Robert Kennedy Jr. has done amazing good works in assisting with the cleanup of the Hudson River and in training environmental lawyers. He sets an incredibly fine example.

The Kennedys carry what's called "charisma." So did Elvis, Michael Jackson, Princess Di.....
When we encounter charisma, which is divine energy pouring through a person or group, we are influenced by it.

To learn to handle being a carrier of charisma is not easy. Some do better than others.

There are facts, and then there is Truth.

Opening one's heart to praise the God, the Divine Spark, that is in each human, is an act of Truth.

The scales of justice tipped? Hmmm. Human-centric "justice," maybe. But not the true karmic justice of Divine Love. What arrogance, to think that mere humans could tip this balance.

All family systems have great tasks covering their development over many generations, and they have smaller tasks set for each individual generation. Judging a family without knowing its sacred task and the various initiations they must go through in order to master it - well, how does one do that?
Jugding a family with, say, a 10,000-year task by the appearance of one generation would be something I wouldn't care to do. Not for Jan's or Jane's or anyone's family. I'm actually still hoping to discover what my own family's greater task is.

I do know that any individuals or groups incarnating on this planet have entered a school for the mastery of Courageous Compassion. How long does that mastery take, I wonder? Many lifetimes, it seems. Because Earth is also a planet of Trial & Error learning, a planet of Karmic Return, and a planet which changes paradigms fairly frequently. In one century a family will go by the standard, say, of the harem, and of natural/herbal abortions of unwanted pregnancies. In another century a family will have to find a way to keep going in spite of witch-burnings and forced conversions of all sorts. In yet another century a family might have to make choices about monagamy, when before its choice involved polygamy or harem lifestyles.
It's all about finding Truth underneath all its sacred disguises.

Give God a break, will ya?

Look inside yourself for the part of you that is divine. It never dies.
Your body has died in other lives, and you will discard it in this life as well, when the time is right.
There is life with a small "l" and Life with the big "L".
Consider your own soul's path, and the love you need to feed yourself in order get your heart to expand enough to encourage others to live the "big L" Life.
Love is the only thing - the God Thing - that changes anything for the better, truly.
You can bomb us with words, with hate, with material destructive force - but only Love actually changes things for the better.

Killing babies and innocents in wars, allowing some 20,000-40,000 children per day to die of starvation and hunger-related diseases, maiming children with left-over mines and bombs - that, too, is a form of baby-killing.
There's plenty, plenty, plenty of good child-saving work to be done by people of all faiths and nations, and the sooner people join in the helping, the better for everyone.

Flawed is what we all are, Jan - and we are all perfect at the same time. We spend many lives balancing the two.
It helps to remember to spend our time looking at our own imperfections and deciding not to dump them on others (witch-hunting).

What you do unto others is what shall be done unto you (in this life, or in others to come.)
(This was one of the teachings about karmic return - involving knowledge that humans return to earth school many times, and keep working on lessons in many ways. The main lesson here: Courageous Compassion)

And self-righteousness may easily be mistaken (by the perpetrator) for actual righteousness. Yet: "Forgive them, Lord - they know not what they do."
Yet - who are you to judge what God has given us - the Godself in each flawed human being (you, too) who ever was. Because we are all flawed. We're all workin' on it. We make progress, we backslide, we do the best we can.

God made us, every one. Is it up to you to judge the God in each of us?

One thing I've learned from this whole situation: my whole old way of "grin and bear it" and "keep a stiff upper lip" and all that isn't always what's needed when a person is under this sort of stress. But how is a person to KNOW she's under this kind of stress unless she is educated, trained, to recognize the subtleties of bullying and how to name what is happening, at least to herself? Even if her calls for help go unanswered because the workplace system itself is sick, at least she would have the reassurance of not being alone.

I found this website only shortly before the investigation was begun - it was what gave me the confidence to name the situation, and the "professional" backup to support that naming. But by then the stress had built so much that it was unstoppable, and there was PTSD, and .... There needs to be, now much better general education for all concerning such things as "mobbing" and "bully-cide." It helped me so much to be introduced to the concept that there is a difference between a "victim" [self pity] and a "target" [someone happy and competent in their work]. I'm a target. But not for much longer, baby! Not for much longer.

You know, I think I gave you the link to my friend's story on the German New Medicine website - but will post that here for others. Your story and hers are extremely similar.

Oh, I'm happy to be here! Been missing N.CA - thinking of old times in Berkeley/SF, and also in Napa. Oh, and Rose is irresistible. Totally.
