Note: I consider this one of the most important articles I’ve ever written. If after reading it you feel so inspired, please forward this to all of your friends and lists. The next part of the article will be sent out in about a week or so.

In the book Columbus and other Cannibals, indigenous author Jack D. Forbes lucidly explores a psychological disease that has been informing human self-destructive behavior that Native American people have known about for years. After reading his book, it was clear to me that he was describing the same psycho-spiritual disease of the soul that I wrote about in my book, The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of our Collective Psychosis. I introduce the idea that from the dawn of human history our species has fallen prey to a collective psychosis which I call malignant egophrenia. Speaking about this very same psychic epidemic, Forbes writes, “For several thousands of years human beings have suffered from a plague, a disease worse than leprosy, a sickness worse than malaria, a malady much more terrible than smallpox.”[i] Indigenous people have been tracking the same ‘psychic’[ii] virus that I call malignant egophrenia for many centuries and calling it ‘wetiko,’ a Cree term which refers to a diabolically wicked person or spirit who terrorizes others. Professor Forbes, who was one of the founders of the Native American movement during the early sixties, says, “Tragically, the history of the world for the past 2,000 years is, in great part, the story of the epidemiology of the wetiko disease.”[iii] Wetiko/malignant egophrenia is a ‘psychosis’ in the true sense of the word as being a ‘sickness of the soul or spirit.’ Though calling it by different names, Forbes and I are both pointing at the same illness of the psyche, soul and spirit that has been at the root of humanity’s inhumanity to itself.

As if performing a magic ritual, in exploring the entity of wetiko, we first have to invoke its spirit and enter into relationship with it. We must contemplate and engage wetiko as objectively as we are able, as if it exists outside of ourselves, lest we get too ‘mixed up’ with the object of our contemplation. Due to its unique psychic origin, the epidemiology of wetiko is different than any other disease. An intrinsic challenge to our investigation of the wetiko virus is that it is incarnating in the very psyche which itself is the means of our investigation. Aware of this conundrum, Forbes explains that he is attempting to examine the disease, “from a perspective as free as possible from assumptions created by the very disease being studied.”[iv] If we are not aware of the frame of reference through which we are examining the wetiko virus, our investigation will be tainted by the disease, obscuring the clear vision needed to start the healing process. Studying how wetiko disease manifests in others, as well as in the ‘other’ part of ourselves, will help us to see ‘it’ more objectively. Seeing this psychological disease manifesting in the world is the looking glass through which we can potentially recognize this same illness as it arises subjectively within our own minds.

After evoking an entity like wetiko, in order to study it as objectively as possible, we have to hermetically seal it within an alchemical container. This ensures that its mercurial spirit doesn’t vaporize back into the invisibility of the unconscious, where it would act itself out through us. Jung continually emphasized the importance of developing a container or vessel in which to catch troublesome spirits like wetiko. He writes, “Therefore, if anything is wrong, take it out of its place and put it in the vessel that is between your neighbor and yourself…For love of mankind, create a vessel into which you can catch all that damned poison. For it must be somewhere – it is always somewhere – and not to catch it, to say it doesn’t exist, gives the best chance to any germ.”[v] Wetiko is an elusive spirit that is challenging to pin down and say it is ‘this’ or ‘that.’ At the same time, it is critical that we attempt to delineate its properties. Unlike a physical virus, the wetiko bug can not be isolated materially, but its characteristic signature can be detected and seen in the peculiar operations of a psyche that is under its spell. To not recognize the existence of the wetiko germ – ‘to say it doesn’t exist’ – allows the psychic infection to act itself out unrestrained. Being ‘always somewhere’ is to be nonlocal, which means that it is always around, even potentially, or especially, within ourselves. In calling forth the wetiko spirit, we are simultaneously creating, through our inquiry itself, the container in which we can study this bug so as to understand what in fact we are dealing with, see how it operates out in the world, in others, and subjectively, within ourselves. In order to come full circle in our contemplative exercise/exorcise, we have to homeopathically take our contemplation back within ourselves. As if in a dream where the inner is the outer, we can recognize that the wetiko virus that we have been tracking ‘out there,’ outside of ourselves, is a reflection of and co-related to the same process within ourselves. Encoded in wetiko’s symptomology is a revelation, something that is most important for us to know.

A DISEASE OF CIVILIZATION

Wetiko/malignant egophrenia is a disease of civilization, or lack thereof. To quote Forbes, “To a considerable degree, the development of the wetiko disease corresponds to the rise of what Europeans choose to call civilization. This is no mere coincidence.”[vi] The unsustainable nature of industrial civilization is based on, and increasingly requires violence to maintain itself. Genuine ‘civilization,’ in essence, means not killing people. Referring to the lack of ‘civility’ in modern society, Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization and responded by saying, “I think it would be a good idea.” It makes sense that native people would know about malignant egophrenia, as they were both oppressed by, but weren’t, at least initially, under the ‘curse’ of modern civilization. Being under the sway of modern civilization can feel like something foreign to our nature is being imposed upon us, as if we are living in an occupied land. Modern civilization suffers from the overly one-sided dominance of the rational, intellectual mind, a one-sidedness that seemingly dis-connects us from nature, from empathy, and from ourselves. Due to its disassociation from the whole, wetiko is a disturber of the peace of humanity and the natural world, a sickness which spawns aggression and is capable of inciting violence amongst living beings. The wetiko virus is the root cause of the inhumanity in human nature, or shall we say, our seemingly inhuman nature. This ‘psychic virus,’ a ‘bug’ in ‘the system, in-forms and animates the madness of so-called civilization, which, in a self-perpetuating feedback loop feeds the madness within ourselves.

Forbes continues, “this disease, this wetiko (cannibal) psychosis, is the greatest epidemic sickness known to man.”[vii] We, as a species, are in the midst of a massive psychic epidemic, a virulent collective psychosis that has been brewing in the cauldron of humanity’s psyche from the beginning of time. Like a fractal, wetiko operates on multiple dimensions simultaneously – intra-personally (within individuals), inter-personally (between ourselves), as well as collectively (as a species). “Cannibalism,” in Forbes words, “is the consuming of another’s life for one’s own private purpose or profit.”[viii] Those afflicted with wetiko, like a cannibal, consume the life-force of others – human and nonhuman – for private purpose or profit, and do so without giving back something from their own lives. One example that symbolizes our self-destructive, collective madness is the oil companies destruction of the Amazonian rainforest, the lungs of our planet. This is literally a full-bodied revelation showing us what we are doing to ourselves. Another literal example that is symbolically illustrating the wetiko complex in action is Monsanto genetically engineering terminator seeds that do not reproduce a second generation, thus forcing farmers to buy new seeds from Monsanto for each year’s new crop. This makes survival for many poor farmers impossible, which has triggered a wave of suicides among farmers, as Monsanto grows richer from the process.

Forbes writes, “The overriding characteristic of the wetiko is that he consumes other human beings, that is, he is a predator and a cannibal. This is the central essence of the disease.”[ix] Predators, ‘full-blown’ wetikos are not in touch with their own humanity, and therefore can’t see the humanity in others. Instead, they relate to others either as potential prey or as a threat to their dominance. As if a different breed who is more animal-like predator than ordinary human being, someone fully taken over by the wetiko psychosis consumes others lives, physically, emotionally, psychically and meta-physically, beyond just the material body and physical possessions to the level of meaning itself. Wetikos are the ‘anti-artists’ of our culture, embodying the opposite of what creative artists do. Unlike an artist (please see my article “The Artist as Healer of the World”), who creates life-enhancing meaning and enriches the world without robbing others, a wetiko takes and consumes without giving anything back, continually draining and impoverishing the planet of resources.

We are currently in the midst of ‘the greatest epidemic sickness known to man’ (please see my article “Diagnosis: Psychic Epidemic”). Many of us don’t even realize this, as our collective insanity is so pervasive that it has become normalized. Our collective madness has become transparent to us, as we see and interpret the world through it, rendering our madness invisible, thereby unwittingly colluding with the collective psychosis that is wreaking incredible death and destruction on our planet. Being ‘trans-parent,’ our madness is beyond its mere appearance, which is to say, ‘beyond being apparent,’ i.e., not visible. Our collective psychosis is invisible to us, as it expresses itself both in the very way we are looking, as well as all of the unspoken ways we have been conditioned not to perceive. Due to its cloak of invisibility, we don’t see our madness, a psychic blindness which makes us complicit in the creation of our madness.

Many of us can’t fathom the level of evil to which full-blown wetikos have fallen prey, and of which they are capable. Our lack of imagination of the evil existing in potential in humanity is a direct reflection of a lack of intimacy with our own potential evil, which enables the malevolence of wetiko to have nearly free rein in our world (please see my article “Shedding Light on Evil”). In our psychic blindness we are complicit in the spreading of the evil of the wetiko psychosis, a systematic evil whose depth is beyond the capacity of words to fully describe. Evil paralyzes the ability to language our experience, creating a seemingly unbridgeable gap between language and the event it is supposed to describe. Finding that place of no words, we simultaneously discover and create a new language, a language which is universal and transcends language itself, a language known as art.

A PARASITE OF A DIFFERENT ORDER

When people are infected by the wetiko virus, Forbes writes, they are “the host for the wetiko parasites.”[x] The wetiko germ is a psychic tapeworm, a parasite of the mind. Just like certain computer viruses or malware infect and program a computer to self-destruct, mind-viruses like wetiko can program the human bio-computer to think, believe and behave in ways that result in our self-destruction. Wetiko is a virulent, psychic pathogen that insinuates thought-forms into our mind which, when unconsciously en-acted, feed it, and ultimately kills its host (us). It doesn’t want to kill us too quickly however, for to successfully implement its agenda of reproducing and propagating itself throughout the field, it must let the host live long enough to spread the virus. If the host dies too soon, the bug would be prematurely evicted and would suffer the inconvenience of having to find a new residence.

Like a cancer of the mind that metastasizes, in wetiko disease, a pathological part of the psyche co-opts and subsumes all of the healthy parts of the psyche into itself so as to serve its pathology. The personality then self-organizes an outer display of coherence around this pathogenic core, which ‘masks’ the inner dysfunction, making it hard to recognize. In a psychic coup d’etat, the wetiko bug can usurp and displace the person, who becomes its puppet and marionette. Like a parasite, the wetiko virus can take over the will of an animal more evolved than itself, enlisting that creature into serving its nefarious agenda. Once the parasite becomes sufficiently entrenched within the psyche, the prime directive coordinating a person’s behavior comes from the disease, as it is now the one calling the shots. Just as someone infected with the rabies virus will resist drinking water, which would flush out the infection, someone taken over by the wetiko parasite will have nothing to do with anything that will help them get rid of the disease. Wetikos are phobic towards the light of truth, which they avoid like the plague. In advanced stages, this process takes over the person so completely that we could rightfully say the person is no longer there; they are just an empty shell carrying the disease. In a sense there is just the disease, operating through what appears to be a human being. The person becomes fully identified with their mask, their persona, but it is as if there is no one behind the mask.

ALIEN INTRUSION

Speaking in his own language about the predation of the wetiko virus, the spiritual teacher Don Juan, of the Carlos Castaneda books, mentions that the ancient shamans called this “the topic of topics.”[xi] Don Juan explains, “We have a companion for life…We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master.”[xii] This sounds just like the state of affairs being pointed at in the Bible when, for example, The Gospel of John refers to the devil as “the ruler of this world” (14:30; 16:11), and Paul speaks of Satan as “the god of this world” (Cor. 4:4). The Gnostic Gospel of Phillip, talking about the root of evil that lies within all of us, makes the similar point that unless this evil is recognized, “It masters us. We are its slaves. It takes us captive.” (II, 3, 83.5-30) Speaking about the predator, Don Juan continues, “It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so.”[xiii] It is striking how Don Juan’s description of the effects of these predators is being enacted in our increasingly militarized society, as our freedoms and liberties get taken away step by step. It is as if an inner, invisible state of affairs existing as a yet unrealized archetypal pattern deep within the soul of humanity is revealing itself by materializing in, as, and through the outside world.

To quote Don Juan, “Indeed we are held prisoner! This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico.”[xiv] Don Juan is referring to an ‘energetic fact’ that I imagine most of us can relate to; i.e., there is ‘something’ within us that stops us from expressing our true creative genius and attaining our full potential. These predators are ‘time-bandits,’ consuming the precious hours of our lives, as if we are wage-slaves on a prison-planet ‘doing time.’ Deepening his description of these predators, Don Juan elaborates, “They took over because we are food for them…we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, gallineros, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros.”[xv] The wetiko virus particularly flourishes in overpopulated cities, where people are ‘coop-ed up.’ When we buy into group-think and are enlisted as a member of the herd, we become like sheep that are being led over the edge of a cliff, or cattle that are being raised to be slaughtered.

Don Juan continues, “The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind.”[xvi] It is as if these predators are in competition with us for a ‘share’ of our own mind. The predator shape-shifts and assumes our form, and if we are unaware of its masquerade, we will identify with its invasive thought-forms as if they are our own, and act them out. We will mistakenly believe that we are acting on our own impulses, with our best interests in mind. This predator, Don Juan continues, “fears that any moment its maneuver is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied.”[xvii] The wetiko predator has an inner necessity, a brute compulsion born out of terror, as it continually has to feed itself so as to postpone its ever-approaching death. Don Juan continues, “Through the mind, which, after all, is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them [the predators].”[xviii] Cloaking itself in our form, this predator gets under our skin and ‘puts us on’ as a disguise, fooling us to ‘buy’ into its false version of who we are. (This is why the shortened name of Malignant Egophrenia is ‘ME disease,’ referring to a distortion of our identity, i.e., our sense of ‘me’-ness). Instead of being in our power and serving ourselves, we ‘unwittingly’ (which means to be ‘out of our wits,’ i.e., not in our ‘right’ mind) become the servant of the predator. Instead of being a sovereign being who is creating with our own thoughts, we will then be created by them, as the predator literally thinks in our place. It is as if the predator is sitting in our seat.

Speaking of the predator’s scheme, Don Juan says, “it proposes something, it agrees with its own proposition, and it makes you believe that you’ve done something of worth.”[xix] It is as if there is an alien ‘other,’ an extraterrestrial, metaphysical entity which is subliminally intruding its mind into ours in such a way that we identify with its point of view and dis-connect from our own. Don Juan refers to this situation as a ‘foreign installation,’ as if some alien race has set up a space station inside of our minds. This is exactly what the Gnostics – the ones who ‘know’ – are pointing at when they talk about alien predators called ‘Archons’ who infiltrate and subvert the workings of our mind.[xx] To the extent that we are not conscious of this alien take over of our psyche, we become drafted into the predator’s sinister agenda, unwittingly becoming its slaves. This state of inner, psychological warfare is mirrored by the sinister psy-ops (psychological operations) being instituted by the powers-that-be in the outside world. The disease feeds on our unawareness of it.

VAMPIRES

Forbes writes, “The wetiko psychosis is a sickness of the spirit that takes people down an ugly path with no heart…After all, the wetiko disease turns such people into werewolves and vampires, creatures of the Europeans nightmare world, and creatures of the wetiko’s reality.”[xxi] The wetiko psychosis takes people down, period. Werewolves and vampires are shape-shifting creatures, symbolic representations of the horrific potential within all of us to be taken over by and act out the archetypal shadow, regressing to an archaic level of the psyche and become like a predatory animal or nonhuman creature. When these not-yet-humanized psychic energies break through into consciousness and are not mediated through consciousness, Jung writes, “they sweep everything before them like a torrent and turn men into creatures for whom the word ‘beast’ is still too good a name.”[xxii]

Vampires, considered to be the darkest creature of evil’s arsenal, have haunted our imagination for ages, as they are representatives of a living process that exists deep within the human psyche. A vampire is not a human figure, but rather, is a soulless creature, a being who has lost its soul; or if it hasn’t lost its soul, its soul has been ‘damned,’ which is a soul that is lost. Either way, there’s something missing. Isolated from the world, it has lost any connection with the part of itself that is related to everything else; from its point of view, the world exists simply for its use. Although it has lost connection with its heart and soul, a vampire hasn’t lost its mind (though in one sense it has), as vampires often have clever and incisive intellects that cloak their pathology, making their disease hard to see. This is similar to how people in a deep state of trauma can have brilliant minds as well, a gift that can hide the extent of their trauma, making their malady hard to recognize. The sharpness of the vampire’s mind, instead of being devoted to gaining insight into their malady and healing from it, however, is used for the ‘passing on’ and propagation of their dark art.

One of the undead, a vampire is death taking living, human form. The wetiko virus is ultimately not a living life-form, but rather, a living form of death. Wetiko, like a virus, is ‘dead’ matter; it is only in a living creature that viruses acquires a ‘quasi-life.’ Members of the living dead, vampires are neither truly alive, nor truly dead. Like a full-fledged vampire, ‘full-blown’ wetikos have forfeited their humanity, becoming a conduit for the impersonal, transpersonal and depersonalizing wetiko virus to incarnate through them. They are a living portal, an opening in the third-dimensional fabric of space/time through which this contagious, virulent higher-dimensional virus can spread itself throughout the field, both locally and nonlocally.

Lacking a sense of soul, wetikos are efficient ‘machines,’ dedicated to preserving and serving “the state,” which, to quote Forbes, “is itself a creature of the wetikos who have seized control of its power apparatus.”[xxiii] A full-fledged wetiko has become a robotic automaton, conditioned to react to certain stimuli like a reflex. They have become part of ‘the machine,’ with no spontaneity, creativity, originality, nor free thinking programmed in. De-humanized, wetikos have lost touch with any sense of aesthetics, of appreciating the inherent beauty of life, and have become ‘an-aesthetic,’ i.e., anesthetized and numb to what it is to be a human being. Emissaries of an authoritarian, militarized, patriarchal planetary ‘culture,’ the wetiko bug breeds fascism, and terror. To quote the great healer Wilhelm Reich, “Fascism is the vampire leeched to the body of the living, the impulse to murder given free rein.”[xxiv] Fascism is the outer, collective political expression of an individual’s ravaged inner landscape that has been crippled and suppressed by the authoritarian civilization of ‘the machine.’

Like a vampire, in full-blown wetikos there is nobody home, which is one of the reasons why, symbolically speaking, vampires have no reflection in a mirror (which, mythologically speaking, reflect back images of the human soul). Full-blown wetikos are empty to the core, so there is nothing to reflect. Inwardly there is just an infinite void, a sponge that can never be saturated, a devouring black hole that is feeding on the universe. Their atrophied soul has been emptied out like a piece of wood hollowed out by psychic termites. Full-blown wetikos are so compulsively possessed by and identical with the unconscious in its destructive, consciousness-negating form that they are not able to see nor think about themselves, which philosopher Hannah Arendt claims is one of the primary characteristics of evil. Unable to self-reflect, they can no longer access within themselves the faculty of the psyche from which such activity derives. One of the reasons we can’t see a vampire’s reflection in a mirror, however, is because our own inner, unconscious vampire obscures the reflection, which is to say that the unacknowledged specter of our own shadow gets in the way.

A vampire casts no shadow. In order to cast a shadow, there has to be a source of light. In a vampire there is no light, only infinite darkness. Not being a living being, a vampire has no inherent reality, no substance. Only a thing of substantial existence can produce a shadow. Vampires can’t cast a shadow, however, because they are the living embodiment of and identical with the archetypal shadow. A shadow casts no shadow of itself, as the shadow itself has no substance. There are benefits that accrue to the vampire because of its ability to not cast a shadow –  it is then easier for the vampire to hide its true identity, move in the hidden shadows, become invisible, and be able to prey on people. Not casting a shadow, the vampire, a shape-shifter who is a master of camouflage and disguise, is able to easily seduce and entice the unaware, as sugar-coated vampires entrap us through our unconscious shadow and blind-spots. This is to say that the loss and dis-owning of our shadow can lead to vampirism. The vampire archetype gets activated within us when we turn our backs on our own darkness, rendering our shadow invisible to ourselves. We can’t see vampires because we have chosen not to see those aspects of ourselves that are most like the vampire. Our reluctance to see our own vampiric qualities blinds us to the vampiric energies in others.

In addition to the weak and defenseless, vampires seek out people who are on the verge of a quantum, evolutionary leap in consciousness, but have not yet fully integrated their realizations and come out the other side.  These individuals are in an energetically sensitive and ‘charged’ condition, and their openness and vulnerability invites the vampiric entities to help themselves and gorge on the light of their expanding awareness. The strategy of these predators is to distract us so as to keep our attention directed outwards, thereby stopping us from finding the light within ourselves, which would ‘kill’ the vampires. If we hold up a mirror and reflect back the insanity being exhibited by those stricken by the wetiko psychosis, we run the very real risk of being accused of being the ones who are crazy. If we do manage to connect with the light within ourselves and try to share it with others, these nonlocal vampiric entities (what I have in previous articles called ‘nonlocal demons,’ or NLD for short), not bound by the third-dimensional laws of space and time, will try, via their ‘connections’ to the nonlocal field, to stop us by influencing other people to turn against us. This process can destroy us, or, if we have the meta-awareness to see what is happening and are able to skillfully navigate our way through, can serve to further strengthen our intention, deepen our connection with the light of lucidity, hone our skill of creatively transmitting our realizations, and cultivate more open-hearted compassion. It is as if these psychic, nonlocal vampires are guardians of the threshold of evolution.

Just like vampires, full-blown wetikos have a thirst for the very thing they lack – the mystical essence of life – i.e., the ‘blood’ of our soul. In ‘consuming’ other human beings, wetiko disease is a feeding thing, a psychic eating disorder in which the stricken psyche consumes other psyches, as well as, ultimately, itself. Wetikos are what are called ‘psychophagic,’ i.e., soul-eaters. Savaged by the ferocity of their unending hunger, full-blown wetikos have become possessed by an insatiable craving that can never be filled. This vampiric feeding is an unholy parody, a satanic reflection, of the self-renewal of life. This perverse inner process is mirrored collectively by the consumer society in which we live, a culture that continually fans the flames of never-ending desires, conditioning us to always want MORE. As if starving, we are in an endless feeding frenzy, trying to fill a bottomless void. This process of rabid, obsessive/compulsive consumption is a reflection of a deeper, inner shared sense of spiritual starvation. The entity of the global economic system itself is a living symbol of out-of-control wetiko disease ‘in business.’

Viruses like wetiko are all about copying themselves. A virus can’t replicate itself, however, it has to use some other vehicle as its means of reproducing itself. They need us to be their birthing chamber. To the extent we are not aware of their ploy, these higher-dimensional spirit parasites put us on, wearing us like their third-dimensional space suits. These psychic vampires are compelled to replicate themselves through us so that we can then ‘pass on’ and transmit the bug to others. This process is analogous to when someone is infected with the rabies virus. In advanced stages of the disease, like a rabid animal they will be taken over by the irresistible urge to bite other creatures so as to pass on the virus. People taken over by the rabies virus are a living, frothing symbol of what the wetiko virus does in its full-blown virulent stage.

In a vampiric lineage, the wetiko virus’s self-propagation is accomplished through the medium of the ‘family system’ (be it our family of origin, or the human family), as the legacy of abuse (be it physical, sexual, political, emotional, psychological, or spiritual) gets passed down, both individually and collectively, and transmitted over generations, continually incarnating itself through the living. It is through the traumatic shattering of our wholeness that wetiko passes its fractured logic and distorted code into the body/mind of another. As if under a curse, our species has been suffering from a collective, inherited form of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Remaking their victims in their own image, the wetikos’ victims join the legion of the ‘damned,’ themselves becoming holders of an unholy lineage. This ‘curse’ will continue until we intervene in the spreading of this vampiric mind-parasite, and the chain of never-ending abuse is stopped.

HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS

Speaking about wetikos, Forbes says, “they are insane (unclean) in the true sense of the word. They are mentally ill and tragically, the form of soul-sickness that they carry is catching.”[xxv] Wetiko psychosis is highly contagious, spreading through the channel of our shared unconsciousness. Its vectors of infection and propagation do not travel like a physical pathogen. This fluidly moving, nomadically wandering bug reciprocally reinforces, feeds off of and into each of our unconscious blind-spots, which is how it nonlocally propagates itself throughout the field. In wetiko there is a code or logic which affects/infects awareness in an analogous way to how the DNA in a virus passes into and infects a cell. People who are channeling the vibratory frequency of wetiko align with each other through psychic resonance to reinforce their shared agreement so as to uphold their deranged view of reality. Collaboratively supporting their mutual psychosis, groups of people drawn together by the unconscious can potentially become a socio-political force with which to be reckoned. When a group of people are in agreement about anything, whether it is true or not, their alignment with each other exerts a contagious, magnetic field-of-force which can sway and attract the unaware into itself.

People taken over by the wetiko virus usually don’t suspect a thing about how they have been ‘conned.’ The wetiko culture offers no incentive for them to self-reflectingly speculate upon their depraved circumstance; on the contrary, the nonlocal field configures itself to conspire, enable and further cultivate their psychosis. When someone is a full-blown, unrecognized wetiko, the field around them torques so as to protect, collude with, and feed into their psychosis in a way that en-trances everyone around them. Once under the wetiko spell, they lose the capacity to recognize the wetiko pathology in others. In a situation of ‘group narcissism,’ wetikos at different stages of the disease assume particular postures and roles relative to each other so as to protect and shield themselves from their own insanity and darkness. They feed and reinforce each others’ narcissism because it enhances their own. Speaking about the type of person who is typically susceptible to fall prey to the wetiko virus, Forbes writes that it is usually the individual “whose strings are pulled by others or who follow a life-path dictated by others. Thus they are ripe for the wetiko infection.”[xxvi] Not in touch with their inner guidance, they project authority outside of themselves, and become very suggestible to the consensus, agreed-upon opinion of the dominant pack. Losing touch with their own discernment and ability for critical thinking, the ‘mass man’ becomes part of the mindless herd and falls prey to ‘group-think,’ whose members co-dependently enable each other to uphold their shared version of the (wetiko) world. Their group consensus about the nature of reality gets increasingly harder to sustain as time passes, however, as, like a house of cards ready to collapse at any moment, their vision of the world is based on the fundamental error of not being true. Strangely enough, people under the collective enchantment of wetiko become fanatically attached to supporting an agenda that oftentimes is diametrically opposed to serving their own best interest. This is an outer reflection of the inner state of being under the sway of the self-destructive wetiko parasite.

By being ‘unclean,’ it is as if there is an un-holy or evil spirit that has taken up residence in the beings of those taken over by wetiko. They are unwittingly being used as instruments, as covert operatives of this darker, unclean spirit to proliferate itself in the wider field. Secret agents of the disease, wetikos’ secret is self-secret, in that it is secret even to themselves. As is true for any of us when we are taken over by something other than ourselves, carriers of wetiko don’t know how possessed they are at any given moment. The experience of being taken over by something more powerful than themselves always happens in their blind spot (please see my article “Are We Possessed?”).

The wetiko bug influences our perceptions by stealth and subterfuge so as to hide and obfuscate itself from being seen. Like a higher-dimensional, alien form of psychic foliage, the wetiko germ implants its seeds into and takes root and germinates within our mind, distracting and deviating us from our true vocation, calling and spiritual path. The alien, and alienating, effect of the wetiko virus, the very thing we need to see, is disguised by the way we think, perceive, and give meaning to our experience. When someone becomes a full, card-carrying member of the cult of wetiko (please see my article “The Bush Cult”), it is as if their mind has been colonized by the virus in such a way that they themselves don’t have the slightest clue about their own pathological condition. Wetikos don’t experience themselves as needing help; for them other people are always ‘the problem.’ They usually don’t mind their disease, or even recognize it, because it is all they know, and their leaders and the very society they live in encourage them in it. They neither have an appreciation of their disorder, nor do they realize how truly sick they are.

Forbes writes, “one of the major traits characterizing the truly evil and extreme form of wetikoism is arrogance.”[xxvii] In being ‘full-blown,’ wetikos are arrogantly puffed up with their own self-importance, i.e., ‘inflated.’ Instruments for evil, wetikos are arrogantly, ignorantly and self-righteously convinced they are in possession of the truth and working for the highest good. It is as if they are unable to know that what they are doing is evil, unable to register their actions as anything other than good. Forbes concludes, “In any case, the wetiko disease, the sickness of exploitation, has been spreading as a contagion for the past several thousand years. And as a contagion unchecked by most vaccines, it tends to become worse rather than better with time. More and more people catch it, in more and more places, and they become the true teachers of the young.”[xxviii] Wetiko culture gets taught both at home and in ‘the academy,’ where people become ‘certified’ in the ways of its world, and are thus accredited and empowered to spread its corrupting ways on ever grander scales.

Speaking about the rapidly spreading wetiko contagion, Forbes writes, “It is spread by the wetikos themselves as they recruit or corrupt others. It is spread today by history books, television, military training programs, police training programs, comic books, pornographic magazines, films, right-wing movements, fanatics of various kinds, high-pressure missionary groups, and numerous governments.”[xxix] All of the mainstream, culturally-sanctioned, corporatized institutions are in the business of indoctrination, telling us what to think and not think about, as well as how to think. Our mind is continually being massaged into shape by the prevailing culture, as if our ‘true face’ is being ‘lifted.’ It is as if our spiritual pockets are being picked. Our ‘civilization’ has become the mouthpiece for the propaganda organ of the disease, entrancing us to ‘buy’ into its viewpoint as we are bled to death of what really counts most. The ‘culture’ (sic) that in-forms and forms around wetiko illness is itself a channel of its transmission, and if we sign on the dotted line and subscribe to its viewpoint, its life-denying culture will gradually subsume us into itself, as we become unwitting agents doing ITS bidding. This is how the ever-expanding, self-generating psychic empire of collective psychosis ‘works,’ as it takes over and increasingly approaches ‘full-employment.’

Full-blown wetikos might be petty tyrants at home or at work but still might be one of the impoverished and oppressed, wielding no real power in the world at large. What Forbes refers to as “Big Wetikos,” are full-blown wetikos who have climbed the wetiko ladder, jumped through the wetiko hoops, and have risen in the wetiko ranks so as to find themselves occupying positions of power where they can influence and control events in our world so as to game the system. The Big Wetikos who control the levers of power, be they the super wealthy, CEO’s of corporations, bank presidents, or leaders of nation-states, are particularly dangerous, as they define the terms of our dialogue, dominating the agreed upon historical narrative. Managing our perceptions through the propaganda engines of the mainstream, corporate media which they control (please see my article “The War on Consciousness”), Big Wetikos in positions of power create the limits of our conversation and debate. Wetiko is an idealogical virus whose ‘currency’ is the syntax of ideas. Wetiko deviates our mental syntax, i.e., the rules of how we form language, thereby distorting the semantics, the meaning we place on our experience of ourselves and the world. Wetiko is a semantic disorder, as it alters the axioms through which the psyche shapes, casts and ‘spells’ its words, thereby conjuring up its experiences. The thought-forms and beliefs that express and represent the wetiko virus act as an intrinisic, built-in control system, defining the limits of what we imagine our possibilities are, as individuals, nations and as a species. Wetikoism supports and perpetuates whatever prevailing myths, stories, dogmas and (un)holy books reinforce its nefarious, self-serving agenda. Books, and other forms of information, which don’t support wetikos warped version of the way things are, are metaphorically speaking, ‘burned’ (or in some cases, literally – the books of the aforementioned Wilhelm Reich, for example, were actually burned by the United States Government. In describing what he called ‘the emotional plague,’ Reich was in his own way pointing at the evils of the wetiko virus).

We live inside of a world that, like a dream, is an interactive mirror inseparable from our own inner being. A reflection of a condition deep within ourselves, wetiko disease is an unmediated, direct manifestation of the dreamlike nature of the universe, which is the very realization that wetiko is showing us. Recognizing the dreamlike nature of our situation creates a living antibody made out of awareness itself that is custom-designed to neutralize the psychic pathogen of wetiko. This is to say that encoded within the deadly pathology of wetiko is an insight and revelation which is its own cure (please see my article “Shadow Projection is its own Medicine”). Its own self-revelation, wetiko disease provides its own psychic medicine, but in order to receive its healing ‘benefits’ we have to recognize and more deeply understand this miracle in psycho-spiritual health care. How amazing – the very thing that is potentially destroying us is at the same time waking us up. A potential catalyst for our evolution as a species, we are all co-creating and dreaming wetiko up together. Wetiko is a truly quantum phenomenon, in that it is the deadliest poison and the most healing medicine co-joined in one superposed state. Will wetiko kill us? Or will it awaken us? Everything depends upon if we recognize what it is potentially revealing to us. The prognosis for wetiko/malignant egophrenia depends upon how we dream it.

Now that we have the dia-gnosis and pro-gnosis, all we need is to discover the cure, which requires having ‘gnosis’ itself…. To be continued in Part 2.

With overunity effect: generates 70% more energy in the form of heat than the electrical power needed to spin the generator.

Although the device is efficient, in most all water heating applications it is difficult to economically justify a device. The company has moved towards the mixing and reaction chemistry applications and specialized heating applications. The system can heat water, but there are numerous competing technologies that can heat water and make steam that are much less capital intensive and often cheaper to operate, as electricity is an expensive and highly refined fuel when compared to gas, coal or oil. Because of this we ceased marketing home/residential heating systems and generic steam systems. Our core heating applications are now applications where:

A fluid scales rapidly on a heat transfer surface

Safety/operational concerns demand a flameless system for safety
Total automation is needed and not available with conventional technology

Our heating applications are largely niche applications where conventional technology falls short. Examples of heating applications well suited to the device include:

Heating of food products such as cheese, eggs and chocolate
Heating chemical and polymeric streams
Heating industrial brines and heavy salt solutions

Our company continues to strive to bring our customers the best industrial heating, mixing and reactor solutions.

Dear All,

As we move forward today, at this momentous time of a Solar Eclipse that heralds a highly significant and rare conjunction of Jupiter (the planet of good fortune) and Uranus (the planet of electrifying change), one that is directly in connection, in a square formation, to the galactic wisdom of Source that is the Galactic Center, I offer to you a message that Quan Yin brought forward about the energies of this eclipse.

Let us celebrate these times of rapid acceleration into life, light and truth.

An audio recording of the channeling is available on my website (www.goldsunhealing.com).

Quan Yin’s Solar Eclipse Message – January 2011
Channeled by Shariq

Greetings, beloved ones. I am Quan Yin.

It is with great joy that I embrace each of you in this time of expansion, growth and the divine attributes of leavening yourself into the wider berths of understanding, as you find the baking of that which is your divine selves, moves into a rising, a rising that in the sunlight of the solar flares and the ascensional aspects of truth, come forward within your timeframe, to allow you to rise; to rise above that which is flowing into a most wonderful aspect of releasing, cleansing, and of letting go.

And so it is that as these aspects of truth, as that which is coming forward allows for you to be most masterful, be most emancipated from that which has been, indeed, a man-focused form of hierarchical debilitation that has been called the matrix, the game of that which has been the 3rd dimensional duality, as this continues to be released, cleansed, and moves forward out of this timeline into a new form of revisioning, so it is that in the leavening and rising of yourself, above the fray, comes your own perspective to decide how to proceed, how to step forward.

Indeed, this is how 2011 promises to play out in most wonderful ways.

Today’s energies, on the cusp, so to speak, of the solar eclipse, of 2011, this eclipse, which, is, indeed, on the heels of a conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus, promises to accelerate these rivulets of change into a vast stream, and a plethora of water that will cleanse, not unlike, in a manifested form, what is being birthed down in Australia.

As these waters come forward in many ways to allow for the old aspects of truth to step forward and be released, so it is that your own ability to rise above and notice what is being brought forward in the streams and currents of change, will allow you to be stronger, be wiser, and to be present in the moment to choose the next step with a sense of deep satisfaction and joy at what is being released for humanity at this time.

And so it is that in the aspects of truth, as these rivers flow of love, and of divine insight, as the new waves of light, in the warmth of that which is helping you rise in the heat of this time of change, although it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, yet, the heat of that which is coming, will allow for you to find your own energy within, your own solar disc, so to speak, of light, which is becoming enlivened and enraged into a new form of being the light of Source.

The light that in this form of being knows how to not be partaken of within the rage of that which is being smouldered by that which is releasing from your space, but to be above, as we have said, lighter, more leavened, more flowing into the realms of being that are part of this whole journey.
And so, what is the vessel that you will be floating upon as you navigate these waves and these streams of change? Perhaps you have been used to larger vessels like large cruise ships.

Well, my dearest ones, for those who hold on to the vast forms of expression, they might find themselves quite stuck in the streams that are flowing, for these will not be able to navigate as nimbly the aspects of truth that will need to be discovered and to be brought forward.

And so it is, instead of the vast cruise ships, we would recommend a sleeker vessel; for example, a canoe.

A canoe that is more natural, more connected with Nature, and more full of the fibrous agility with which to navigate the rapids that might come forward, in a way that allows you to be adventurous, and full of the joy of seeing what will come forward.

And so it is that a canoe is indeed a vessel, which, if you can think of the vessel itself as a berth for not only yourself but your interconnection to all of Nature, including the nature of humanity, the community, if you find this berth, this connection, then it is that you will never feel alone in the choices and challenges which might come forward as this year proceeds.

And then, of course, a canoe needs more than one person, generally, to direct it. And, so, having at least one other in your space, one other who can assist and guide, be a partner, so to speak, will be available, as you so choose to find and direct yourself to it.

For, in the aspect of community, even in finding one friend, assistant, and/or romantic partner, there is always a desire to be within this flow of moving forward, so to speak.

Yet, the difference is that this partner you might choose, or friend, or any form of that one who you can trust, is not one who you are going to give up your power to, not one who you will depend on, or vice-versa.

It is in the freedom of being your own sovereign self, lighter, leavened, warmed by the winds of change, the solarity of your own sun disc which is being reawakened at this time of change, in these aspects of truth, you will find that in the partnership, in the communication, in that sense of moving together, and not being stuck, so to speak, in who is going to go first or next, in that inter-empathic connection, in that telepathic re-connection, of that which is the unity of all, will come a divine understanding, a divine intervention, of that which is the old ways which are releasing.

And in this intervention will come an integration, a light of your truth that becomes formulated in a new form of reconnection across the new webs of light that are being displayed for humanity, replacing the old matrices of that which has been, allowing for there to be a new realignment, a new deciduousness, as that which has been most parlayed into a form of black and white becomes more natural in the different Spring seasons of life that are about to be rebirthed in a new form of evergreen leaves that find that they are replacing the old forms of duality.

And so it is that the cruise ships that I was speaking of earlier, indeed, for those who hold on to the monoliths of their creations, the aspects of their lives that are apparently solid and sturdy, the aspects of connections to the old ways of greed and manipulation, coercion, etc., they will find that these forms of vessels, not very nimble, might get stuck.

And although they are stuck, they will, with the flow that is coming, at this conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus, at this time of the expansion of light, they will get pushed out of the way. And it will not be pleasant, my dearest ones.

So, the message is this: stay aligned with what is in the moment; be more discreet in how you step forward, be not so overbearing, or fastidious in how you choose to stay stuck in a vast embargo of that which is the old ways of being, but allow for yourself to be most aligned with the swiftness of life.

And in this will come, as I have said before, the adventure, the fruitfulness, the rebirthing, of your selves into a deep sense of fluidity and ease.

And so it is that in this time the possibilities are massive for coming to new potentials. The possibilities are expansive, for as you flow down these rapid potentials in your sleek canoes, as you in these natural connections to life and to Nature, find that all is always evergreen, even in the deciduous aspects of those parts of Nature that are becoming reawakened in the Spring, in these aspects of your truth, you will find that you are drawn in the flow of the natural flow-course of life, into your next connection, inter-connection, and growth prospect.

So, as you tune into this you will find the aspects of the coincidences, the serendipitous events, the aspects of synchronicities continue to grow, so that life leads you step by step into where you are meant to go.

And, consciously, as you visualize and claim what it is that you want, the synchronicities will flow in the direction that you choose to create, for you are a creator, are you not?

And as you choose not to focus, simply get stuck in the fears of unexpected events, so it is that the unconscious fears then will be creating for you, and taking you to places that perhaps might be not as easy to navigate.

Life, light, truth. In these aspects of your being come a growth; a growth to be the divine aspects of Source.

As these aspects of truth come forward and settle in, in a triangle within your heart space now, they create a stability, a stability to rebirth the sleekness of the canoes you will each choose to create your dugouts from Nature, allowing, in this warmth to leaven yourself, and rise above the old ways.

And notice how it is to step forward, as you step forward now, with the stability of this triangle, with these vibrations that I have given you, you will find that life flows in a more effortless way.

For, in these aspects of your truth, in these aspects of your being, in the connection to the partner and to the community that forms the vessel that is being connected through not only to Nature but all of humanity, will come this love for all.

And in this love for all, you will always release the fear, for, indeed, all is flowing in a most beautiful way.

This time, as it moves forward now, allows for much to be displaced in the possibilities of a massive reawakening of those who have been drugged, so to speak, in aspects of creation that have been quite unconscious.

As these become most reawakened into the evergreen nature of that which is all there is, so it is that you will find that many come for assistance around you, many seeking support.

If you can tune into the love within your heart, the light, the frequencies of being light, including that which allows you to rise in the leavening of yourself, you will continue to find that you are sharing your love, and, simply, in the love that you express, others will find a frequency to tune into, and they will find support, and succor and redress.

So know that you are indeed all beautiful, and moving into a possibility to move with much agility through these times of change.

These times are times of rejoicing, times of coming forward into an aspect of Source that is coming in these warmth waves of the global warming of Gaia, into a releasing of the floods of the waters of the glaciers.

In these waters will come the potential for much healing, emotional healing, for Gaia, for humanity. And, in these aspects of healing will come the streams of life, flowing.

And there will be some tears as well. But if the tears can be moved away from the fear tears to tears of rejoicing, so it is in this joy will come the lightness within, and in the stability that you anchor in, and support the others, including your partner in the canoe, you will find it is the big adventure that flows most easily, most serendipitously, into the next step of life.

So, my dearest ones, know that is a wonderful year, 2011. A year of stepping most rapidly, through sometimes, rapids, but if you can see it as an adventure, a white-water rafting adventure, you will be most surprised with where the opportunities lead you, how unexpected potentials manifest in most wonderful ways, leading you to travel, to new places to teach, to be, to express, and to simply expand yourself into the new possibilities – including prosperity, of course, and abundance.

And so it is that with these words, then, I will take my leave.

Know that at this point of this eclipse you are all choosing to step forward into an acceleration of time which assists humanity to rapidly move into a fragmentation of that which is this current reality, allowing you to float into an aspect of your knowledge that will allow you to resonate with and communicate with those who are at your frequency.

They will form this vessel, this community that I have spoken of, the canoe.

And you will find within these who find you, those who will be the closest ones, those who will be of support, and steer with you, through these times of change.

Many blessings. I am Quan Yin.

With love, light, joy and peace,

Introduction to How Handwriting Analysis Works

Photo courtesy FBI – Forensic Science Communications
1956 Weinberger kidnapping: An FBI-conducted analysis made a match between the top two sign-offs (“Your baby sitter”), pulled from the ransom notes, and the bottom two, from the prime suspect. See more forensics pictures.

When there’s a suspect in a crime and the evidence includes a handwritten note, investigators may call in handwriting experts to see if there’s a match. In some cases, it might be the one piece of evidence that gets a suspect charged and eventually convicted. But what if it’s a false match? How exactly do experts go about analyzing someone’s handwriting?

In the world of forensic analysis, which includes crime scene investigation, DNA testing, fiber analysis, fingerprint analysis, voice identification and narcotics analysis, to name just a few of the disciplines, handwriting analysis fits into the area of questioned documents. Questioned document examiners (QDEs) analyze documents for signs of alteration, forgery and, when sample documents are available, handwriting or typing comparisons to determine or rule out authorship (and/or tie a document to a specific machine in the case of typing). Handwriting analysis is a tedious and methodical process that relies on extensive knowledge of the way people form letters, which characteristics of letter formation are unique and the physiological processes behind writing – the ways in which a person’s fine-motor skills can affect his or her handwriting and leave clues about the author’s identity.

The primary basis of handwriting analysis as a science is that every person in the world has a unique way of writing. When we were all kids in primary school, we learned to write based on a particular copybook – a style of writing. Which copybook our handwriting is based on depends on when and where we grew up (see Handwriting-L: Copybook Examples for good examples of copybooks from different countries and eras). So at first, we all probably wrote in a similar way to kids of our own age and location. But with the passing of time, those writing characteristics we learned in school – our style characteristics – became only the underlying method of our handwriting. We developed individual characteristics that are unique to us and distinguish our handwriting from someone else’s. Most of us don’t write the way we did in first or second grade. And while two or more people may share a couple of individual characteristics, the chance of those people sharing 20 or 30 individual characteristics is so unlikely that many handwriting analysts would say it’s impossible.

First and foremost, handwriting analysts must be able to accurately distinguish between style characteristics and individual characteristics, which takes a lot of training. They can pretty much ignore the style characteristics, which are only useful for determining with a fair degree of certainty which copybook the writer learned from. The individual characteristics are what matter the most in determining authorship.­

So the process of handwriting analysis when comparing two documents – one by a known au­thor, one by an unknown author – starts not with checking for similarities, which any of us could do with a fair degree of accuracy, but instead with checking for differences. It’s the differences that initially determine if it’s possible that the same person wrote both pieces of text. If the­re are key differences in enough individual characteristics, and those differences do not appear to be the result of simulation (an attempt to disguise one’s handwriting or copy someone else’s), then the two documents were not written by the same person. Simulation has its own telltale characteristics, which we’ll discuss in the next section. However, if the differences don’t rule out a match, and there are significant similarities in the individual traits in the two documents, singular authorship becomes a possibility.

Moving from possibility to probability is where the heavy lifting comes in.

Analyzing a Sample

­Analyzing handwriting is a long, careful process that takes a lot of time and, under ideal circumstances, a lot of comparison samples, or exemplars – documents that have a known author. It’s not a matter of looking at two documents­ and saying “Hey, they both have a ‘B’ with a downstroke extending below the line – same author!” In the case of the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932, the police had a slew of questioned documents- in all, the kidnapper sent 14 notes to Lindbergh with ransom instructions. Handwriting analysts had no problem determining that all of the ransom notes were written by the same person. But pre-existing exemplars from the main suspect, Richard Bruno Hauptmann, were scarce, so the police had to get samples from Hauptmann in the police station by way of dictation. From those requested exemplars, handwriting analysts determined a match.

Photo courtesy FBI Partial results of handwriting analysis in Lindbergh kidnapping case

­However, the police officers’ methods of obtaining those samples has since been called into question – Hauptmann was forced to write for hours and hours until he nearly passed out from exhaustion. He was also told how to write, and he was shown a ransom note and told to copy the handwriting as best he could, to name just a few of the major no-nos. This of course means that the validity of the determined handwriting match is in question, and Hauptmann’s execution makes a re-test impossible. There are now strict rules in place about how police should obtain a requested exemplar.

Good, untainted, numerous exemplars make handwriting analysis far more reliable than a simple one-to-one comparison. While every person’s handwriting is unique, no one person writes exactly the same way twice. There are natural variations in a person’s writing within a single document. Having, say, 10 questioned documents and 10 exemplars from a suspect assures that not only will the words and letters in the questioned documents show up in the exemplars, but also that almost all of that suspect’s individual characteristics will appear in both sets of samples if the suspect is indeed the author of both.

The process of professional, forensic handwriting analysis is all about thoroughness. An analyst will use a magnifying glass and sometimes even a microscope in the comparison process. An analyst is looking for a wide array of individual traits:

• Letter form – This includes curves, slants, the proportional size of letters (relationship between size of short and tall letters and between the height and width of a single letter), the slope of writing and the use and appearance of connecting lines (links) between letters. It’s worth noting that a person may form a letter differently depending on where the letter falls in a word – beginning, middle or end. So an analyst will try to find examples of each letter in each placement.
• Line form – This includes how smooth and dark the lines are, which indicates how much pressure the writer applies while writing and the speed of the writing.
• Formatting – This includes the spacing between letters, the spacing between words, the placement of words on a line and the margins a writer leaves empty on a page. It also considers spacing between lines — in other words, do strokes from words on one line intersect with strokes in words on the line below and above it?

With these traits in mind, we’ll take a look at one common method of comparison in which the analyst begins with the first letter in the first word in the questioned document and starts building a table. To illustrate the process, we’ll perform a simulated comparison using a questioned document and an exemplar each consisting of a single sentence – a nightmare for determining a definite match or non-match in the real world, but perfect for our purposes.

Questioned document

Exemplar provided by “suspect”

At first glance, the two samples do not appear to be different enough to automatically declare that they were written by two different people. And on closer examination, they actually appear to be quite similar. So we’re going to build a table that catalogs each varied form of every letter that appears in the questioned version of this sentence. If we get to an “a” that looks exactly like an “a” we already have in our table, we skip it. We simply want each different formation of “a” in the document in our table, taking into consideration letter formation, linking strokes, spacing and other traits. In forensics, they would “copy” each letter form using a digital camera, but we’re going to do it by hand. They would also make separate tables for uppercase and lowercase letters. But we’re going to simplify, since this is only an example of the process of determining a match or a mismatch and not a professional or accurate comparison.

Next, we’re going to make the same kind of table using the exemplar:

Finally, we’re going to compare the tables and see if we have a match for each questioned-document letter form in the exemplar. Since our document consists of a single sentence, we don’t have many instances to choose from. Under normal circumstances, we would have an array of potential matches for each letter form, and we’d want to find a good match in the exemplar for every letter form occurring in the questioned document. For simplification purposes, our third table is going to consist of a side-by-side comparison of our two initial tables, although an expert analyst would probably create a third table showing the exact words in each document that make up each letter-form match.

Questioned (left) and exemplar tables

While this analysis would definitely not hold up in court due to its extremely limited scope (and sadly inaccurate letter copying), it nonetheless seems we have found a match in the exemplar for each letter in the questioned document. The same person probably wrote both sentences.

But what if the writer of the exemplar was trying to copy the handwriting in the questioned document? The problem of simulation is a difficult one in handwriting analysis. Simulation occurs when a person is either trying to disguise his handwriting to prevent the determination of a match or to copy someone else’s handwriting to encourage the inaccurate determination of a match. While simulation makes an accurate analysis far more difficult (and sometimes impossible), there are certain traits that professional analysts look for to determine whether a handwriting sample is the result of simulation. These include shaky lines, dark and thick starts and finishes for words and a lot of pen lifts, all which come from carefully, slowly forming letters instead of writing quickly and naturally.

Photo courtesy FBI – Forensic Science Communications Mickey Mantle’s known signature is on top; the FBI determined that the bottom two signatures are forgeries. Note the shaky line quality and variations in the starting and ending strokes.

Simulation is just one of the factors that can foil an accurate handwriting analysis.

Shortcomings of Handwriting Analysis

­While an expert analyst can detect many instances of forgery, a good simulation can be undete­ctable. One example of a forgery the experts missed is the case of the “lost” Hitler diaries. (Although there’s a good reason why they missed it.)

In the 1980s, a man named Konrad Kujau, a supposed collector of Nazi memorabilia, approached a German publishing company with 60 handwritten journals purported to be written by Adolf Hitler that had, according to Kujau, just been discovered in the wreckage of an airplane that had left Germany after World War II. The texts seemed to be genuine, and Kujau had an apparently good reputation, so the publishing company paid $2.3 million for the lot. The diaries were immediately published in installment form in a German newspaper owned by the same publishing company, and syndication rights were sold to several international publications, including The London Times. It was The Times that requested a professional handwriting analysis to ensure authenticity.

Three international experts in forensic handwriting analysis compared the diaries to exemplars that were apparently known to be written by Hitler. All agreed that the diaries were written by the same person who wrote the exemplars. The diaries were for real.

It was an analysis of the ink and paper used to write the diaries that revealed them as fakes. An ultraviolet-light examination revealed that the paper contained an ingredient that wasn’t used in paper until 1954. Hitler died in 1945. Further forensic tests on the ink showed it had been applied to the paper within the last 12 months. As it turns out, though, the handwriting analysis was in fact correct – the person who’d written the diaries had also written the exemplars. Kujau, later found out to be an experienced con artist, had also forged the exemplars the police were using as comparison documents.

The Hitler diaries debacle is an extreme case of fraud and expert forgery that spanned every stage of the analysis. And while this level of expertise is seldom found in forgeries, the fact remains that if the investigation had relied on handwriting analysis alone, the “lost Hitler diaries” would now be part of the history books. Some other issues affecting the accuracy of handwriting analysis include:

• You can’t make a meaningful comparison between uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Drugs, exhaustion or illness can significantly alter a person’s handwriting.
• The quality of the exemplars determines the quality of a comparison analysis, and good exemplars can be hard to come by.

­In the initial comparison work done in the case of John Mark Karr, who confessed in August 2006 to the 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey in Colorado, the ransom note found in the Ramsey house was long enough to be useful as one side of the equation, but finding good exemplars was an issue. In a series of preliminary handwriting analyses, documents expert John Hargett, former head of document analysis at the U.S. Secret Service, compared the ransom note to two exemplars: a yearbook inscription written when Karr was in high school and a job application Karr filled out in Thailand. Hargett found no matches, although the results were inconclusive because the yearbook inscription was written more than 20 years ago and in an artistic writing style, and Karr filled out the Thailand job application in all uppercase letters, while the ransom note was written in both uppercase and lowercase letters. DNA testing later made further handwriting comparisons unnecessary, as Karr’s DNA was not a match for the DNA found on JonBenet’s body.

Certainly the most significant shortcoming of handwriting analysis as a science is the fact that it is ultimately subjective. This means that its acceptance in the scientific community and as evidence in court has historically been shaky. Only recently, as the training of analysts has become more standardized and certification procedures have been put in place, has handwriting analysis started to gain more acceptance as a reproducible, peer-reviewed scientific process. The results of a handwriting comparison are still not always accepted as evidence in a court case, partly because the science has a few more hurdles to clear, including determining a reliable error rate in analysis and setting standards for the comparison process. The addition of computerized handwriting analysis systems to the process, including the FISH (Forensic Information System for Handwriting) system, which allows examiners to scan in handwritten documents and digitize the comparison process, may speed up the process of general acceptance of handwriting analysis as a science and as expert evidence in court.

My kids’ cousin asked on Facebook if he could reboot himself. He may have thought he was kidding. But that is exactly what we all have to do. But before we reboot, we have to download the new program. And before that, we have to begin to delete the old programing. The second video on my video page is an old program eraser. The crystal is sort of like a magnet that is programed to erase certain vibratory patterns. Of course, it is done for a general audience, so it only begins the process with the grossest of old programing.

Where are all these new programs supposed to come from? Is the New World Order putting them in our corn flakes? Are they being breathed in from all that crap in the chem trails? Do we drink them in our water? No, its not that easy. Well that’s not the case either. The programs are easy to come by. Its integrating the programs that can be challenging.

As we get closer to the galactic core, we are coming into contact with increasingly higher Frequency Light. This light contains information in coded form. You can not escape the influence of this light. If you don’t upgrade your operating system to accommodate this energy and information, your current system will be fried. It won’t be comfortable. You are probably noticing this already. But wait! There is hope. The key is, you have to ask for assistance. Your higher self is who you approach. You must start from your heart center and work outwards.

Ask your Higher self to assist you to be in your heart and act from your heart. Even if you don’t believe all this stuff, do it anyway just in case its true. Your higher self will bring you the opportunities in the form of incidents and experiences in your waking and sleeping reality to move forward on your request. You still have to recognize what these opportunities are and take advantage of what they offer.

You are reading all of this right now because your Higher Self is providing you with an awesome opportunity. Don’t waste it. Take some action in your own best interest! If you are still confused by this current experience that you ordered up, (yes, you created this experience, so use it!) start reading all my blog posts from the beginning. (start here) I promise if you do, you at least will have more clarity about what is happening to you, and what path to take to proceed. As long as you are not in complete denial. Free will, ya know? And even if you do hold onto denial, at least you will have a good laugh or 90.

a message from Archangel Michael channeled by Carolyn Ann O'Riley

Wednesday, 1 December, 2010  (posted 8 December, 2010)

Yet the year 2000 dawned, you opened your eyes got out of bed, toddled over to your computers and low and behold they still functioned. You were still there and the world kept twirling. Of course the computer may have had to have a patch, but you moved beyond the terror and the fear, did you not?

 My Beloveds, your perception of time has sped up and the naysayers of doom and gloom continue to spout their Earth destruction scripts to keep their fear based followers glued to their TV sets, IPhones, newspapers and blogs.

There has been so much growth within Mass Consciousness since 1988 My Divine Light Warriors. This planet is no more what it was a moment ago, let alone viewing back to the times when the Mayans calculated their calendars, Nostradamus wrote his predictions, St. John The Divine channeled the Biblical Book of Revelation… and the many other prognosticators brought forth their predications and pronouncements of what would occur in the year 2012.

They saw images and sign posts of massive Earth changes, yes. They saw destruction, yes. They saw death because that is part of the Earth change and destruction, yes. The question is did they look for the positive aspects and report on those findings, no. Did they look for the potentials of the human race and share those, no. Did they gaze into the eyes of a new born baby and find HOPE, no. Did they take into consideration The Creator’s Master Blueprint and how all things Divine fit into the pristine plan for Man’s Highest Good, no.

My Beloveds, those predictors took what they saw literally. They may have even added their own colored interpretation filtered analysis to finalize their assumptions that the world as they saw it would surely no longer exist after December 21, 2012. 

My Beloveds, you know those authors are probably looking down now from the Higher Light Realms going, “I’m sorry for the fear that has been caused due to the writings. I was writing as a human and not the spiritual eternal being that I truly am. Forgive me for forgetting my true Light Origins and scaring everyone to death. I was caught up playing my human part and forgot that I was really a spiritual being”

My Beautiful Beings of Light, you are spiritual beings having a human experience and guess what, if the material Earth essence no longer existed within this very moment in NOW, you still would exist. Yes, you would be in your true energy form and the Earth would be reverted back to its true energy form, but you would still be who you truly are. You have never departed from who you truly are, except for a small allowance of energy that you have loaned to your human physical form experiment to play your part in the Earth Plane Play of Matter and Mass.

My Divine Beings of Light, repeating again, you are eternal beings and regardless of the condition of the physical Earth you will always still be present in your Life Between Lives HOME, which is where you truly reside anyway. Only a very small percentage of your true spiritual energy actually resides on the physical Earth Plane. You are well, you are healthy, you are unconditionally loved, you are happy in your HOME with your spiritual families. You spend your days evolving learning higher spiritual principals. You are carrying on your higher spiritual growth at HOME while your tiny energy particle pieces play your parts that you selected and scripted for them on the Earth Plane stage. These experiences that you scripted and selected for your Earth Plane tiny particle of yourself provide your spiritual essence and The Creator with experience to help broaden your understanding, further your evolutionary growth, provide information, wisdom and teach compassion for others.

So back to the physical aspect of yourself: is the Earth changing, yes; however the Earth has always been changing. The Earth is never static, nor is the Universe static. These changes are cycles within Earth and the Cosmos and there are many. The cycles do not remain static either but those that can help with information within the physical are the indigenous tribes that understand the changes that are occurring. Their history has been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth in the forms of storytelling of the changes that they have endured. The stories relate what happened and what they did to survive.  

For those fearful of their physical existence looking towards the indigenous tribes for wisdom would be suggested.  

My Beautiful Beings of Light going within yourselves to find your own most perfect answers is another avenue. Your own higher consciousness and wisdom is always available to you. It does take some working to put yourselves back in the grove of accepting that you have the answers within yourselves. It takes some persistence to sit silently without your Blackberry going off and quiet your mind so that you can receive your own higher guidance. You can do this; you’ve just forgotten the way. The Universe doesn’t send text messages or e-mail so you will have to hone your spiritual ears and awareness to listen for that small still voice of guidance. That small still voice is the first answer that pops into your awareness when you ask yourself a question.

The Creator doesn’t have a FACEBOOK page but you certainly can communicate through prayer. Your Angels and Guides don’t blog but they are always around you, it does take your invitation for them to participate in your daily lives My Beloveds. You will be glad to know that your Angels, Guides and The Creator do have a higher form of communication than the local physical human does at this time. They use mental telepathy. It’s time to wrap your techy side around mental telepathy as this is the form of communication that the Universe utilizes besides, symbols, light, color and sound. 

Allow this Messenger to take you on a mediation journey.

Arrange yourself in your chair or lie on a bed so that you are comfortable. Keep your legs and arms from crossing if at all possible as this blocks the flow of energy. Cover yourself with a light blanket if you chill easily. We want you comfortable and undisturbed for a while as you journey within yourself through meditation. 

Close your eyes and take a comfortable deep breath, then comfortably exhale as hard as is possible.  With each in breath, you are breathing in love. With each out breath, you are breathing out fear and doubt. Take another comfortable deep breath in and comfortably exhale just letting all the stress go.  Take another comfortable deep breath in and then just exhaling letting it all go with a sigh as you are breathing out all frustrations of the day.

Feel your body relaxing from your toes to the top of your head. Give yourself permission to feel the calm and peace. Your muscles are feeling loose and limp, so relaxed, so deliciously serene, so wonderfully lazy.  

Direct your ego self to perch on your left shoulder. Instruct your ego self that it is only to be an observer on this journey, it is not to participate. If it helps you to visualize by identifying your ego with a symbol or as an object please do so.

In your imagination ask through prayer for The Creator to send you down a protective Ray of White Light by praying mentally something like this “My Creator I AM asking for a protective Ray of White Light to enfold me and lift me up so that I am experiencing the very highest of vibrations during this journey into my inner most depths of understanding and Being. I am protecting myself My Creator from anything that is not for my highest good on this journey. I am thanking you My Creator for assisting me by sending this Ray. I am visualizing the ray in my imagination now coming down through the corner of the area where I am meditating. It is entering into my physical form, permeating all that is within my I AM presence.”

The Creator has responded to your prayer and has gifted you with an Iridescent White Ray plus Two Golden Fluid Rays for this journey. The Rays are entering into your body through the soles of your feet and moving up through your physical vessel; permeating throughout all of your etheric energy fields & physical vessel and into all corners of the actual area that you are meditating in; then the rays are exiting through your Crown Chakra. The Rays are returning to The Creator and cycling back down through you again and back to The Creator in a continuous circular loop. These protective therapeutic rays are in a continuous circular motion while you are in meditation.

You are now divinely protected at this moment and nothing can even communicate with you, that is not for your highest good, without your permission.

My Divine Beings of Light, You are breathing very slowly and evenly now; you are feeling secure and safe. 

Breathe in deeply My Beautiful Beings of Light and feel the lighter relaxed feelings of being protected & divinely guided into this meditation. Breathe in deeply and know that you are breathing to the Pulse of The Creator. Listen to The Creator’s spiritual heart beat and feel the unconditional love that courses through you each time you think about this moment.

Breathe in deeply allowing and seeing within your spiritual imagination your Guardian Angels and invited Spirit Guides as they join you.  The Angels take your etheric essence hands and guides you out of your physical body and directs you into your Etheric Spiritual Heart Chakra. An Angel has been stationed to stay with your physical essence until you return from your meditation journey.

You are seeing, feeling and sensing this within your imagination, Your Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides and special invited guests are now within your Spiritual Heart Chakra with you. Your Angels and Guides are helping you locate the Golden Door that says “To My Highest Guidance Within” you turn the etheric spiritual door knob and cross over the threshold knowing that you are on a spiritual growth adventure.

You find yourself in a White Marble Corridor. Your Angels scurry you down the hall and point you to a door on your left labeled “Earth Changes”. You turn the handle and step inside. There you will find an old brown leather chair in the middle of the room.

In front of the chair is a large clear crystal globe. You take a seat in the chair, the Angels hand you a bag of popcorn and a container of water. The Angels flip a switch on the wall and the globe lights up. You see before you the creation of the entire Universe. You see the Earth forming. You see each stage of development that occurs on the Earth in a rather fast forward mode. The animation stops briefly where the Earth is currently today. The picture continues through the million or so more changes that the Earth will take on its way to becoming a planet ball, void of all atmosphere drifting in space awaiting its next collision with space debris. The Angels relay that the Sun too has evolved as has the entire Universe. Nothing is as it was, and this is as it should be. The globe slows down and darkens then stops. 

The Angels relay that these changes have taken millions upon millions of year. They remind you that NOW is the only real moment that you have. What awaits you physical vessel is to unfold in Divine Timing. You are an eternal being having a human experience. The Physical Mass known as the Universe could be gone but your spiritual essence would live on.

The question that The Angels would like for you to take back and ponder is, can you allow and accept that you are this eternal spiritual being? You will always BE, regardless of what is transpiring with physical mass and material stuff.

You shake your head in understanding. You agree to take the question back and ponder on it. You know in your heart that what they have relayed feels true, it is working to have the Ego self and conscious mind agree that there is more of you, even though you cannot see it with your physical eyes.

Your Angels guide you back out the door and back into the hallway. You instantly find yourself back in the White Marble Corridor.  

You catch a glimpse of your glowing Essence in the mirror, the true you that you are. Your Angels lead you back across the golden threshold door, back into your Spiritual Heart Chakra and then they assist the return of your spiritual Essence back into your physical form.

Wiggle your fingers and toes and when ready open your eyes. Go about your day remembering that your Inner Higher Wisdom and Angelic support staff are always at your service working with you to help you reach your highest most appropriate potential.

Beloveds you are blessed beyond words and loved beyond measure, more than any Earth Plane language can ever express.

I Am Archangel Michael, The Creator’s Messenger, of Love, Joy, Wisdom, Light, Peace and Grace.

The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. – William James

ELATION FROM THE COMPANY OF HEAVEN

by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

September 1, 2010
http://eraofpeace.org

For just a moment, take a deep breath and enter the Divinity of your heart. Feel the elation pouring forth from the Company of Heaven in response to the unprecedented Victory in the Light the God Selves of Humanity have cocreated during the miraculous summer of 2010. Never in the history of time has the collective energy, vibration, and consciousness of Humanity taken such a quantum leap into the frequencies of Light.
Through the unified efforts of millions of Lightworkers who participated in hundreds of activities of Light, and the rare celestial alignments that opened Heavenly Portals allowing monumental influxes of Divine Light, we have succeeded beyond the greatest expectations of Heaven. Through the cooperative endeavors of Heaven and Earth, we reached a critical mass that allowed the God Self, the I AM Presence, of every man, woman, and child to burst the oppressive bonds of our human egos.

Every single person on the planet who turned his or her attention to a Higher Power and invoked the Light of God in any way this summer was instrumental in bringing this facet of the Divine Plan to God Victorious fruition. What I will share with you in this article is just one part of this unified effort. This is what occurred at the 24th Annual World Congress on Illumination which was held within the forcefield of Washington, D.C., August 14-19, 2010.
The 24th World Congress on Illumination began with our Opening Ceremonies on August 14th. There were over 500 people in attendance from 22 countries. Twenty-two is the master number that reflects power on all planes and the ability to change the course of history. There were also hundreds of thousands of Lightworkers consciously joining with us from around the world. This event took place in the embrace of a rare Grand Cardinal Cross which involved the planets aligned in Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn. These astrological signs represent the elements of fire, air, water, and earth which comprise Humanity’s Earthly bodies. This alignment was a very important factor in raising the frequency of our physical/earth, etheric/air, mental/fire, and emotional/water bodies into a vibrational tone that would burst the bonds and transcend the grasp of our human egos.

Spiritual astrologers around the world reported that they had never seen a Grand Cardinal Cross alignment with such a large number of planets involved in such a tight mathematical degree. Those investigating this alignment could not find a similar Grand Cardinal Cross for 500 years before or 500 years after this event.

It is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of what has occurred for Humanity, but to demonstrate the assistance we received from On High I will share with you that this activity of Light drew the attention of the entire Company of Heaven. During our Opening Ceremonies the Mighty Elohim, the Builders of Form, created an colossal amphitheater of Light that encircled the planet and extended into the Heavens as far as the eye could see. Then our Father-Mother God and the Beings of Light serving the Earth invoked the Legions of Light throughout Infinity to join us by projecting their luminous Presence into the amphitheater. The radiant Presences of the Legions of Light throughout the whole of Creation filled the amphitheater. These selfless messengers of God empowered our efforts a thousand times a thousand fold and assisted us every step of the way throughout the entire week.

August 15th, was Mother Mary’s Ascension Day. This is always a powerful day when the Feminine Aspects of Deity assist Humanity with the process of integrating the Love Nature of our Mother God, the Holy Spirit, into every person’s Heart Flame.

After aeons of separation, our Mother God began her return to Earth during the initial impulse of the Shift of the Ages which took place during an activity of Light called Harmonic Concordance. This event took place between very powerful Lunar and Solar Eclipses in November 2003. Since that time, our Mother God has been gently integrating her Love into the Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame in every person’s heart. This Flame consists of the Blue Flame of Divine Will and Power from our Father God, the Pink Flame of Divine Love and Reverence for Life from our Mother God, and the Yellow-Gold Flame of Wisdom and Enlightenment from the Sons and Daughters of God. It is the true reflection of the Holy Trinity.

In the beginning, our Threefold Flames were balanced, but after our fall from Grace we lost awareness of the Love Nature of our Mother God. Since that fateful time, we have been using our masculine power without the balance of our feminine love. This has wreaked havoc on Earth, and it is the main reason we developed the fragmented, fear-based aspect of our consciousness we refer to as our human ego.

On August 15, 2010, our Mother God was at long last able to integrate effectively enough to permanently balance the Pink Flame of Divine Love within every person’s Heart Flame. This miraculous event catapulted the frequency of every person into a higher vibrational tone than we have ever experienced. This allowed the I AM Presence of each person to take more control of their Earthly Bodies.

When the Flame of Divine Love expanded through every Heart Flame, the I AM Presence of every person on Earth breathed this Divine Love into the Heart Flame of every other person’s I AM Presence. This created an enhanced and extremely powerful grid of Transfiguring Divine Love around the planet. This grid of Love extends from the lowest frequencies of Humanity’s miscreations into the highest frequencies of the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Light. This grid of Divine Love is the Bridge to Freedom over which this planet and all her Life will Ascend out of the darkness into the Light. This wondrous event paved the way for the next step of the unfolding Divine Plan.

On August 16th, oceans of our Mother God’s Divine Love flowed through Humanity’s newly balanced Threefold Flames into our newly established grid of Transfiguring Divine Love. This unprecedented influx of Divine Love flowed in, through, and around every particle of Life on Earth and penetrated into the core of purity in every electron of Humanity’s misqualified thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. As the Love of our Mother God bathed every atomic and subatomic particle and wave of Life, a fluid field of unmanifest Divine Potential was created upon which the patterns of perfection for a Higher Order of Being would be imprinted. With the guidance of the Company of Heaven, this event would take place the following day.

August 17th, 2010, was the 23rd anniversary of Harmonic Convergence. On that very powerful day the Beings of Light who abide in the Complex of Etheric Temples above Washington, D.C. took their strategic positions around the planet. The Goddess of Liberty projected her luminous Presence to the Cardinal Point at the North. The Goddess of Divine Justice took her position at the Cardinal Point to the East. The Goddess of Freedom took her position at the Cardinal Point to the South, and the Goddess of Victory took her position at the Cardinal Point to the West. When that was complete, Saint Germain directed his Regal Court of Violet Fire Angels to take their positions within the energy fields of every person, place, condition, and thing in Washington, D.C.

Saint Germain said that Washington, D.C. is modeling the microcosm of the macrocosm for this planet. He said that from its inception until this very moment Washington, D.C. has reflected everything that is right with the world and everything that is wrong with the world. It reflects the Divinity within every person, the Oneness of Life, and the innate ability for Humanity to reach our highest potential as Sons and Daughters of God through Love and Reverence for ALL Life. It also reflects the epitome of the abuse of power, greed, corruption, and selfishness that our fear-based human egos have manipulated us with for aeons of time. We were told by Saint Germain and the Company of Heaven that on that sacred and holy day the Lightworkers at the World Congress on Illumination would be escorted throughout Washington, D.C. by the Violet Fire Angels associated with the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection. With the assistance of these precious Angels, our I AM Presences would imprint onto the newly created fluid field of unmanifest Divine Potential the archetypes for a Higher Order of Being for Humanity and all Life on this planet.

In deep humility and gratitude the Lightworkers in attendance at the WCI accepted this awesome responsibility and traversed Washington, D.C. North, South, East, and West. We surrendered to our I AM Presences and offered our Heart Flames as the Open Door through which the Light of God would flow to imprint a Higher Order of Being into the physical plane of Earth. Through this activity, the Light God was Liberated into every physical and chemical interaction within the people, places, conditions, and things in Washington, D.C., thus healing and restoring all of the distorted and mutated energy bonds between atoms and within atoms that were miscreated by Humanity’s human egos.

Then, through the willingness of the I AM Presences of the Lightworkers joining in consciousness from all over the world, and the assistance of the Legions of Light throughout Infinity who had projected their luminous Presence into the amphitheater of Light encircling the planet, this activity of Light expanded from the microcosm of Washington, D.C. to the macrocosm of Planet Earth. 

Contained within the archetypes of a Higher Order of Being, was the necessary Divine Light to raise the vibrational tone of Humanity’s physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies high enough to burst the bonds and transcend the paralyzing grip of our human egos. This Light was able to set straight the orbit, spin, and electronic charge of every cell, atom, and electron of Life on Earth in preparation for the activity of Light that would take place the following day. 

On August 18th, we were blessed with the luminous Presence of the Directors of the Elements. These selfless servants of Light took their positions at the four Cardinal Points of the planet. The Directors of the Air Element, Thor and Aires, joined the Goddess of Liberty at the Cardinal Point to the North. The Directors of the Water Element, Neptune and Lunara, joined the Goddess of Divine Justice at the Cardinal Point to the East. The Directors of the Earth Element, Pelleur and Virgo, joined the Goddess of Freedom at the Cardinal Point to the South, and the Directors of the Fire Element, Helios and Vesta, joined the Goddess of Victory at the Cardinal Point to the West.

When all was in readiness, Mother Earth sent her clarion call to the Mighty Elohim and the Elemental Beings who sustain the elements within the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies of Humanity, and the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional strata of the Earth. In an unparalleled activity of Divine Healing, the Elohim and the Directors of the Elements guided the Elemental Beings who cocreate the earth, air, fire, and water elements to purge the dross that had been created by Humanity’s human egos. In an act of amazing Divine Grace, this cleansing occurred through the bodies of Humanity and Mother Earth with the maximum intensity that Cosmic Law would allow. This was the final step of preparation before the activity of Light that would liberate Humanity from the manipulative grasp of our human egos.

On August 19th, the Cosmic Moment had arrived. The I AM Presence of every man, woman, and child on Earth, and the Legions of Light throughout the whole of Creation were standing in readiness. Saint Germain and the Beings of Light from the Etheric Temples over Washington, D.C. were ready to receive from the very Heart of our Father-Mother God the most intensified 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection, and the Divine Qualities of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory that the Earth could withstand. These were the Divine Qualities that would complete the process of raising Humanity’s four Earthly Bodies into a vibrational tone that would transcend the reach of our human egos.

When our Father-Mother God sounded their Cosmic Keynote, the Mighty Elohim began their descent into the Center of the Earth. On the Holy Breath, the Builders of Form magnetized into their Heart Flames the full Divine Momentum of the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection. When the Mighty Elohim entered the Sun of Even Pressure in the Heart of Mother Earth, they knelt before the shaft of Light that forms the axis of this planet. Then as one unified force of Light, the Elohim breathed the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection into the axis of the Earth. The Violet Flame merged with Mother Earth’s Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame and expanded through the Crystal Grid System of Earth like a tremendous starburst. The Violet Flame blazed into every acupuncture point in the body of Mother Earth and was securely anchored there. The Lightworkers joining in consciousness from around the world absorbed this Sacred Fire into their Heart Flames and breathed it into the Heart Flame of the I AM Presence of every person on Earth.

When this facet of the Divine Plan was complete, the Goddesses of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory inbreathed these Divine Qualities from the Heart of God into their Heart Flames and projected them through the 5th-Dimensional Portal of Light above Washington, D.C. This glorious influx of Divine Light opened the portal to full breadth establishing a permanent flow of these precious Gifts from our Father-Mother God in, through, and around every particle of Life on Earth. The 5th-Dimensional frequencies of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory, which were beyond anything Humanity or the Earth had ever experienced, expanded through the Heart Flame of every person’s I AM Presence and radiated through the greatly enhanced grid of Transfiguring Divine Love that is now enveloping this planet.
Once this facet of the Divine Plan was complete, the I AM Presence of every man, woman, and child on Earth breathed this Healing Light into the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies that have been controlled and manipulated by the fragmented, fear-based human ego since our fall from Grace. The Divine Qualities of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory were then projected  into every atomic and subatomic particle and wave of Humanity’s Earthly Bodies. This influx of Light created a critical mass, an unstoppable shift, that allowed our I AM Presence to emit the vibrational tone that was needed in order to raise the energy, vibration, and consciousness of our Earthly Bodies into a frequency that transcended the grasp of our human ego. As this vibrational tone reverberated through the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies of ALL Humanity, the oppressive bonds that our egos have used for millennia to keep us hostage and trapped in fear were burst asunder and our egos dropped away.

Our I AM Presence then gathered this wayward aspect of our personality into its loving arms, and escorted our ego into the schools of learning in the Inner Planes. This is where our ego will be transformed into a higher expression of Life, and eventually returned to the heart of our I AM Presence.

This miraculous event God Victoriously liberated the Earthly Bodies of Humanity from the grip of our human egos. What that means for each and every person evolving on this planet is that… We are FREE! We are FREE! We are Eternally FREE!

Now comes the critical next step for each of us. Our Etheric Bodies are known as “the seat of all memory.” Everything we have experienced through all of our Earthly sojourns is recorded in this vehicle. That means that the memories of our human ego’s devious schemes and deceptions are recorded in this vehicle. Since we are all creatures of habit, if we do not stay focused on our I  AM Presence, it will be easy for us to have a reflex response to our life experiences that imitate our ego’s behavior. That will occur, simply because that is the way we were used to acting in the past. It is our responsibility to be PRESENT in every moment of our lives. Daily and hourly, we must think and feel aligned with our I AM Presence BEFORE we respond to a situation. Move away from any trace of fear, and say to yourself, “I AM my I AM Presence. From this level of Divine Consciousness, how will I respond to this situation? How will I add to the Light of the world with my thoughts, words, feelings, actions, beliefs, and attitudes in this instance?” Then with listening Grace, respond to the Divine Guidance of your I AM Presence.

Without the interference of our human egos, we will hear the guidance of our I AM Presence in new and profound ways. This has been extremely difficult in the past, but that is over. Everything has changed! Listen and Trust yourself.
An easy test to be sure you are responding to the guidance of your I AM Presence and not merely connecting with the etheric records of your human ego, is to ask yourself “Is this response free from fear? Is it the most positive way of handling this situation? Does this response involve the highest good for all concerned? Am I adding to the Light of the world by responding in this way?” If your answer is “NO” to any of these questions, the guidance is not coming from your I AM Presence. You are responding from a residual habit of your ego from the past.

Instead of acting out of that old habit, center yourself and ask your I AM Presence for guidance again. Do this as many times as you need to until you are able to answer “YES” to all of the questions.

Many people are not aware on a conscious level that their I AM Presence has succeeded in bursting the bonds of their human ego and that they are now free from their ego’s fear-based manipulation. They may not even realize that they have an I AM Presence. Consequently, they will not know about asking their I AM Presence these important questions before responding to the situations in their life. These people are going to be more prone to act out of the old habits and the obsolete behavior patterns of their human ego. But, fortunately, their is an answer to this problem, and the Company of Heaven is asking for our assistance in resolving this situation.

Since we are One with ALL of our sisters and brothers in the Family of Humanity, we can invoke their I AM Presence on their behalf. Everyone still has the free will to ignore the inner guidance of their I AM Presence, but without the interference from their human ego they will hear this guidance much more easily. The important thing to remember is that our I AM Presence is very practical, therefore, the guidance always involves viable options and solutions that will enhance our lives and the lives of others. It is hard to keep resisting this kind of guidance. As we perpetually invoke the I AM Presences of our sisters and brothers around the world and ask THEM to intervene in their lives, eventually even the most resistant person is going to respond to the heart call of their I AM Presence. Then that person will see the life-enhancing results of their actions, which will motivate them to listen to that inner guidance on a regular basis.

It is impossible for us to truly comprehend the magnitude of what it means for all of us to be free from the manipulation of our egos, but our lives have been transformed. Instead of feeling like we are struggling to accomplish our goals by walking through tar with gale force winds blowing in our face, we are now empowered in new ways by our I AM Presence and the Divine Intervention of the Heavenly Realms. The patterns of perfection we focus on for our individual life and our collective lives as the Family of Humanity will manifest much more quickly. Through the newly created template of Unity Consciousness and Humanity’s newfound freedom from our human egos, we will cocreate the New Earth in a very tangible way sooner than we ever dreamed possible.

Day by day, things are going to get better on this planet. Pay attention, and empower only that which reflects the Higher Order of Being associated with your I AM Presence. Then you will automatically empower the patterns of perfection for the New Earth through your thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.

KNOW that through your I AM Presence, you are the Divine Qualities of Liberty, Divine Justice, Freedom, and Victory freeing Humanity, and all of the energy bonds within Humanity which include the relationships and the interactions of all people, all races, all religions, all organizations, and all nations. You are your I AM Presence liberating these interactions into the harmony of a Higher Order of Being, thus expanding the influence of Humanity’s I AM Presence on Earth. You know this Higher Reality within your heart and mind, and through your I AM Presence you are a calm ocean of these Divine Qualities flooding the Earth.

We have God Victoriously made a quantum leap up the 5th-Dimensional Spiral of Evolution. There is no turning back! Be at Peace, and enjoy the ride. Your time has come.   And so it is.

Here is a link to a YouTube video that will help you to assimilate your I AM Presence now that the human ego has been released.

Loosing Control

You may feel you are losing control in your life. I ask you "losing control of what?" You see what you fear you are loosing control of is what you have created.

Perhaps also you have created the structure of your life from the beliefs of others. Beliefs taught to you as a child from your parents and teachers.

This one (Lynette) heard a little of this from another's words last evening. It has remained strongly with her as it fits so well with my subject now. So you may begin to understand why I ask you - "loosing control of what?"

Ask yourself in what area of your life do you feel this most powerfully. Examine it carefully. Then ask yourself how important is it to you, and choose a different path forward. If it is another's choice, perhaps words from a partner or friend, then you must ask guidance from your sacred heart centre.

There is also a need to understand that many are on different levels of awareness. Therefore not everyone will see situations as you do. Not everyone will understand your thinking, your actions. In this, surrender. Allow them time to understand. Do not feel anger because they do not see or understand as you do. In that mindset you invite darkness to pervade your Light essence. Your conscious mind will begin an internal battle of yes, no, like, dislike. You will begin a downward spiral. Simply surrender. Understand and let them be. Instead of hurt or anger, surround them in love to assist them forward on their journey. In this you gain freedom, and in that freedom you gain much Soul Light and gain victory over your emotional body.

The Epiphany of Self

The planets are instrumental in presenting much transformation in your world over the coming season. Some will experience a state of "flux" - uncertainty - to enable the higher self to step forward. Some will experience an epiphany of the self - a life changing moment where you see with great clarity the futility of what has been. It is a moment in which you catch a glimpse of your true magnificence, a glimpse of what is there for you. A glimpse of new enlightened understanding. This is so powerful, so encompassing in the beauty and wonder.

It is at this moment the veil you have held over you is lifted in glorious triumph of Soul - your Soul. This is happening for many of you as more and more souls awaken to a beautiful new day of being. Yes, a new day of being. So as a new journey begins, as you seek to clear, to heal, to find your own inner gifts, they are revealed to you.

Soul Gifts

These are called your Soul gifts, what you brought with you in your Soul knowledge, your Soul memory. It is at this time you need to heal your Soul memory of previous hurtful experiences contained in previous lifetimes. Understand the hurts were in a previous existence where some of you experienced a painful death because of your Soul wisdom. I wish you to understand it was a different era in Earths timeline of experience. Therefore heal. Heal the memory, heal the Soul and move again in greater freedom to answer your Soul's call.

Your Soul gift is never for you alone, no. It is to share with all. To join in the beautiful healing tapestry of Light, of Oneness.

Where all are joined in Light, through the Creator, yet are individual as well - as above so below. Above in Oneness you share all, yet below you choose each experience as an individual. This is now, in your year 2010, a year of opening, of healing, and of releasing all past pain.

Yet I say to you as you move forward to a new year, 2011, it will begin a time of experiencing Oneness below - in your daily lives - as well as above. You will begin to open more to others, to share in a higher spirit of Blessedness. Yes, it will be so. For as you progress forward in Light and open your Soul gifts you will feel the energy of God flow through you. Thus you will experience Blessedness. Such a glorious moment. You have not as yet experienced this. Because I tell you the more you open to your Soul, through your heart centre, the more flow of Light you will produce. I speak correctly dear one. I hear you say "how can I produce a flow of Light? A flow of God's energy? Surely only God can only do this."

The Golden Link of Creation

Allow me to tell you, to explain. It is simple. More simple than you realize. I have spoken many times of your Diamond Light. contained in your higher heart. This exists in every one of you, no matter how dark the personality is presented in your world. The Diamond Light is the spark of God essence each of you holds within. You hold a part of God within you. Yes, each of you. I tell you truth. Therefore as you overcome your own personality self, your ego through your conscious mind, as you overcome these, you open to the Light of Creation.

This pure Light which is omni present, ignites your Diamond Light within.

This creates the capacity within your being to produce and hold great quantities of Light.

A Turning Point

As your quantity of Light within builds, you carry what we refer to as your Light Quotient. With this the Soul radiates out, encompassing you - all of you in pure Light. The Light essence of God. The Light passes all understanding. For all your experiences are known, yet overcome, healed and loved through your Light Quotient. So you become a true child of God, growing and sharing in Light, in true Oneness. You see all. Those still on their journey of experience, those still holding on to the ego personality, you see all. Yet with the magnificence and greatness of the Light you understand. You simply be. In your joyous power of God created Oneness. At this point my friend we celebrate your magnificence. We celebrate your great journey of experience through the Ages and welcome a new Age, a new Earth of Light, of peace, of greatness. The meditation I have given allows you to experience your magnificent Light of Creation through the essence of Gods energy fields.

My Love to you.

Master Kuthumi.
