I am Lord Merlin, a great wizard, magician and ascended master existing on the inner planes with my heart and soul devoted to Mother Earth and the ascension of humanity. In my previous communication I brought forth an understanding of the growth and development that Mother Earth is now undergoing and achieving, which humanity may mirror at a later date on the Earth. I now wish to speak with you sharing my wisdom in the hope of inspiring and energising your focus and spiritual growth on the Earth.

I work with and have accepted the energy and consciousness of magic. On the Earth Magic is seen as false impressions, illusions or distractions of the mind in order to manifest a result that is unbelievable or awe inspiring but the Magic that I hold within my soul is so much more than this. It is a consciousness, an aspect of the Creator’s soul and a teaching that is very powerful and advanced. Magic is very much a state of mind and being, it is an acceptance of teachings that are so ancient which were in existence before the Earth was created. Many masters accept the higher realms of the Creator’s universe and energy in order to study magic which is an understanding of energy and manifestation. It is an advanced process that requires the mind to be truly expansive and the soul to be tremendously energised and powerful. It is with this foundation that a master is able to be receptive to the ancient energies and consciousness of magic, manipulating, changing and transforming energies. This wisdom descends from the Creator, it is a method used by the Creator in order to manifest the numerous realities that exist within the Creator’s universe and beyond.

I, Lord Merlin have studied the ancient energies of magic and continue to explore and integrate with this sacred energy, understanding and knowledge but I wish to assist you in understanding that you hold a small aspect of the Creator’s ancient teachings of magic within you. The basic foundation of the Creator’s magic teachings is to understand and to truly believe that you have the power to make changes in your reality. Your reality is yours to explore, to alter and to allow to unfold as you wish. This is a comprehension that all masters must have in order to be considered for integration with the magic teachings of the Creator. It is a concept that is not new to many but when you begin to put it into practice you are preparing yourself for the magic teachings of the Creator. Accepting that you create your own reality can be difficult for some but for most it seems logical and acceptable. To allow your mind to be accepting of this concept is wonderful and encouraging but to take the step beyond this realisation is where difficulties can arise, this is because accepting and believing are very different things. When you accept you acknowledge and become acquainted with the idea. To believe is to have faith and trust in the idea, to create action and to place effort in achieving a goal or desire. If you believe that you are in control of your reality and that you create every experience both good and bad in your life then you are actively starting to put effort and action into this realisation in order to make changes in your life. We must remember that knowledge or insights are insignificant unless they are experienced in our reality and existence, this is when we truly understand the knowledge grasped. To understand and exist as a being who appreciates that they create their reality and actively creates the reality they wish to experience is the first stage of preparing to accept the Creator’s ancient teachings of magic.

We are each an aspect of the Creator and so are creators, produces, inventors and makers ourselves, but this creation must come from within us, from the essence of our beings. This is our magic. It is our ability to understand what is needed in our reality to allow us to follow the correct path for us and to anchor or manifest it within our reality. It is important that this develops from your soul or Creator presence because it is this energy that holds the truth whereas your mind is influenced by desires of the personality. If you are finding that you are bored and that your life seems dull then you are not connecting with the magic within you, the basic understanding that you influence your life and so your life is as exciting and inspirational as you want to make it. This can be difficult to take on board because it means that you have to take responsibility and therefore cannot blame another for anything you experience in your life. Understanding your emotions, feels and thoughts while trying to achieve this concept is a large part of the basic preparatory magic teachings.

By sharing my awareness with you I am sharing or activating the Creator’s magic teachings within you, encouraging you to go forth to create magic in your reality. This is to simply create changes or to manifest what you desire and dream of. Remember that while the action of making changes is important, gaining an understanding of your life and the areas you are happy with and disappointed with is much more important as you begin to look within you and realise that beliefs, emotions and energies that you hold on to may be linked to the manifestations of either positive or negative experiences in your reality. In many ways we have to change our energies with and our beliefs in order to clear areas of disappointment and energise or manifest areas and experiences of wonder, satisfaction and joy. Remember that magic is not necessary a wonderful and powerful energy but it is a state of being and understanding, it is a process of discovery.

Magic comes from within us; if we are bored and life is dull then we are not creating magic.
I ask that you place your trust in me and allow yourself to follow the guidance that I wish to share with you. Firstly I wish for you to sit peacefully gaining a deep meditative state that is appropriate for you; then please invoke me to draw close to you.

‘Lord Merlin, I honour your presence and the insights that you wish to share with me, I ask that you draw close to my energies now and assist me in appreciating and accepting your presence around me.’
(Give yourself time to sense or acknowledge my energy.)

‘Lord Merlin, I ask that you assist me in activating the magic of the Creator that I hold within my soul, let the mind and intentions of my soul come forth into my comprehension so that I may accept and understand the wisdom available to me. Help me to feel the presence of magic around and within me and assist me in accepting that I am the creator of my reality. Help me to now change or enhance my reality by observing the beliefs, emotions and thoughts within me. Allow me to understand how to make the changes that are appropriate for me, comprehending my reality and myself in a new way. I ask that you now guide me on this process of discovery. Thank you.’
(Give yourself time to sense or experience.)

Again I am asking you to draw upon the trust and belief within you as these are needed in order to comprehend the teachings of magic. When we do not trust we close down our minds and hearts and block all inspiration or insights from crossing our path. To remain in a state of faith is to remain in a state of openness and acceptance.
Let the magic of the Creator activate from within you, manifesting miracles all around you.
I am Lord Merlin

Somebody sent me this article, or even subscribed me to the http://headlinenewsbureau.com site itself. Np problem, it seems to be interesting to hear just who is out gunning for Barack Obama....

Dre'

Protecting the US president has presented the secret service with the greatest challenge in its history. But who wants to kill him? And how likely are they to succeed?

The Southern Poverty Law Center began life in 1971 as a tiny law firm specialising in civil rights cases. It took on the might of the Ku Klux Klan, and was duly rewarded by having its offices razed and its senior lawyers targeted for assassination. But it kept on going and grew to be one of the most respected monitoring groups of rightwing extremism in America today.

Recently it brought out a report called Terror From the Right , which identifies, in chronological order, the serious home-grown plots, conspiracies and racist rampages that have been cooked up in America since the Oklahoma City bomb in 1995. The list runs to 10 pages of closely printed type and itemises 75 domestic terrorism events, from plans to bomb government buildings to attempts to kill judges and politicians.

Each of the incidents aimed to change the political face of America through violence, courtesy of groups with such titles as Aryan People's Republic, The New Order and The Hated. But in the summer of 2008 the chronology takes on a sharp change of tack. Entries, which had been running at one or two per year, start coming faster. And instead of a variety of different targets, one name crops up time and time again: Barack Obama.

The first such entry is for 8 June 2008. Six people, linked to a militia group in rural Pennsylvania, are arrested with stockpiles of assault rifles and homemade bombs. One of the six allegedly tells the authorities that he intended to shoot black people from a rooftop and predicts civil war should Obama, who five days previously had cleared the Democratic nomination for president, be elected to the White House.

Next entry: 24 August 2008. The day before the opening of the Democratic convention in Denver at which Obama was nominated, three white supremacists are arrested in possession of high-powered rifles and camouflage clothing. They are talking about assassinating Obama.

24 October 2008: Less than two weeks before the election, two white supremacists are arrested in Tennessee over a bizarre plan to kill more than 100 black people, including Obama.

21 January 2009: The day after Obama's inauguration, a white man is arrested in� Massachusetts, having allegedly killed two black immigrants and injured a third. He says he was "fighting for a dying race".

10 June 2009: James von Brunn, aged 88, walks into the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and shoots dead a security guard. Von Brunn, who died last month in jail awaiting trial, left a note that read: "Obama was created by Jews."

In the 13 months that Barack Obama has been the occupant of the Oval Office he has been the subject of an extraordinary outpouring of emotion from the American electorate. At the start it was largely adulatory, though more recently the adoration has been drowned out by a cacophony of criticism from tea party activists, birthers, global-warming deniers and viewers of Fox News. At the same time, largely hidden from view, there has been a layer of antagonism towards Obama that lies well beyond the boundaries of reasonable political debate.

That has been a fact of life for Obama and his family since long before they took the keys to the White House. On 2 May 2007, fully 18 months before election day, he was assigned a secret service detail – much earlier than any other presidential candidate in American history. The precise reasons for the move have never been disclosed, but there was certainly a mood in the air sufficiently palpable to disconcert Michelle Obama. A senior US official in the State Department has told the Guardian that before he decided to run for the presidency, Obama had actively to win Michelle over to the idea by assuaging her fears about the potential of an attack on him, her and/or their two daughters.

Michelle would have been aware of the backstory here: that Colin Powell had declined to run for the 1996 Republican nomination partly because his wife Alma feared his assassination at the hands of white supremacists. Over the course of the long presidential race, Michelle spoke openly about her anxieties and how she had determined to overcome them, telling 60 Minutes that she had decided to fling herself into the race because "I am tired of being afraid".

According to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's new account of the 2008 election, Game Change, she eventually felt relaxed enough to crack sardonic jokes about the subject. "I've already gone out and increased our life insurance on [Barack]," she quipped. "You just can't be too careful!" But as the Southern Poverty Law Center survey shows, the issue of safety and the 44th president remains anything but a laughing matter. "Virtually every domestic terrorist event we have identified since June 2008 – when it became obvious that Obama was going to win – has been directly related to him," says the author of the report, Mark Potok.

Apart from the Obamas themselves, the burden of such a threat falls primarily on the shoulders of the US secret service, and as Joseph Petro, head of global security for Citigroup, puts it, the challenges facing the service today are unlike any period that has gone before. On top of all the usual risks associated with guarding the world's most powerful politician, there is now the added, explosive ingredient of his race. "As the first black president he creates a whole other set of issues for the secret service to deal with," he says.

Petro can claim to be something of an expert in this area: he spent 23 years as a special agent in the service, four of them, from 1982 to 1986, as the man who stood beside Ronald Reagan. He knows what it's like to be the last line of protection, how it feels to be in a milling crowd in which you are surrounded by thousands of potential assailants, what it is to live with the constant knowledge that any mistake – a split second taking your eye off the ball – could be fatal.

Petro has a formula for measuring the potential dangers for any particular incumbent of the White House. You take the general atmosphere of the times in which they are in office and combine it with the specific personality that the president brings to the job. In both regards, he says, Obama presents a huge task.

"In Obama, we have a president with a very unique personality who likes to be out with the people. Put that together with the political atmosphere of these times that is highly partisan and vitriolic, then include race, and we've got a big challenge. There's no margin for error."

Petro's point about the role the president's personality plays in his own safety is ably illustrated by the single most disastrous failure in the secret service's history – the event that every incoming trainee agent spends hours and hours studying until it is drilled into his or her bone marrow. Judged by modern security standards, the shooting of John F Kennedy in Dallas on 22 November 1963 should for several reasons never have happened. The parade route Kennedy took was publicised in advance – a cardinal sin by the rule book of today. Lee Harvey Oswald had a relatively easy line of fire from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, which would these days have been thoroughly swept and sealed off. But it was the orders given by Kennedy himself that did for him – the president asked for the bullet-proof glass bubble to be taken off his limousine and for agents not to ride on the back of the car, thus leaving himself utterly exposed.

In the last analysis, as Kennedy proved at his own cost, a president can only be as safe as he allows himself to be. Agents can advise the commander-in-chief what is best for his security, but they cannot give him orders. "The secret service would want to take the president to Camp David straight after the inauguration and keep him there out of any contact with the public for the next four years. But they know that's not possible," Petro says.

During his presidential campaign, Obama would regularly mingle among crowds of astonishing size. But since his inauguration he has clearly responded to the guidance of his protecting agents, detaching himself considerably from direct public engagement. To some extent, that is only normal – he is no longer running in an election. But for a president who promised to break down barriers between politicians and people, it is noticeable how sparingly he is seen in public these days, and how the events he does appear at are almost invariably staged indoors.

Over the years, the secret service has developed a range of technological devices for improving security. Petro recalls asking Reagan on several occasions to wear a bulletproof vest. (Reagan would grumble and groan but usually comply.) Over the last decade, such innovations have come thick and fast. A whole new array of gadgetry has been added to the service's armoury, from face-recognition technology to a new generation of armoured vehicles. Obama rides in a Cadillac with military grade eight-inch thick doors; on election night in November 2008 he gave his victory speech to a crowd of almost a quarter of a million people from behind bullet-proof glass walls designed to foil sniper attacks.

But gadgetry is only as effective as the people who use it. In the last analysis, the human factor remains supreme, as was illustrated last November when two reality show hopefuls gatecrashed a� White House function, penetrating the inner core of the building and shaking Obama's hand. As it happened, they had no malice towards the president. But in the mindset of the mortified secret service that didn't matter; they could have done.

Which on some level is the nature of the beast: being president of the United States is a high-risk enterprise, as Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and John Kennedy all found out the hard way. Danger can come at a president from any number of directions. It can come from the lone deranged gunman. It can come too, theoretically, from international terrorism of the Islamist variety. But al-Qaida experts point out that the closest the group has come to a direct attack on the president was 9/11 itself. "From al-Qaida's view, to assassinate the president would be very desirable," says Yehudit Barsky, a terrorism specialist at the American Jewish Committee. "But it would be difficult for them to go after him not because they don't want to but because their capacity is so impaired."

Which is why in the overall assessment of risk to Obama, so much attention is settling on rightwing extremist groups who are already operating inside America, are armed and ideologically motivated, and in some cases potentially capable of desperate acts. This brings us back to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has been tracking the activity of potentially violent militia groups since the last great wave in the 1990s when the so-called Patriot movement ballooned in proportion to rising rightwing anger towards Bill Clinton and fears of impending gun control. That wave of opprobrium culminated in the Oklahoma bombing in which 168 died and 680 more were injured.

The centre's latest report , released last week, records an astonishing mushrooming in extremist anti-government Patriot groups who see the Obama administration as a plot to impose "one-world government" on liberty-loving Americans. The numbers leapt from 149 groups in 2008 to 512 groups in 2009, of which 127 were classed as paramilitary groups.

"We know there has been a spike in activity across a broad range of things, particularly with regard to the notion that this� government is illegitimate," says Brian Levin, a criminologist who heads the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University. Levin says the phenomenon is evident in rural areas around the Appalachian mountains and Great Lakes and into the west and Pacific north-west, where new armed militia groups are spontaneously emerging; and he has no doubt about why this is happening right now: "We've always had people who hate the president, we've always had conspiracies, but the fact that we have a black president at a time of economic tumult makes these conspiracies much more volatile among a far wider group of people."

Chip Berlet, an analyst of rightwing extremism at the Massachusetts-based group Political Research Associates, estimates that there have been nine murders by individuals who have white supremacist, xenophobic or antisemitic leanings since the inauguration of Obama. Berlet sees similarities in the current foment to the militia agitation of the 1990s. "Anger is spilling over from people who believe Obama is coming to remove their liberties, seize their guns, enslave the white American nation. What's new is that they can now recruit and communicate online, and that makes it very much more dangerous for the president."

Montana is one of the rural states where resurgent extreme rightwing activity can be detected. Travis McAdam has been tracking such activity for the last two decades on behalf of the Montana Human Rights Network, so has a unique vantage point for what is going on today. "The hatred that's there is very real. It's more than a gut-level hatred of having an African-American as president, it's also ideological – these people see black people as sub-human. Groups are popping up that have a new message and are using Obama to recruit new members."

White supremacist forums that provide closed talking shops for members only have been abuzz with anti-Obama rhetoric since the presidential election. In one such talkboard, monitored by a watchdog group, a correspondent writes: "if we want to see the overthrow or the cleansing of society then we should support Obama being where he is! I believe in the coming war. With this Nig as President he will just speed up the process. He's a catylist! Is'nt this what we want?" Another says: "Our backs are really against the wall now. We need progressive activism and we need to be solution orientated. For a Whiter future for our children." A third says: "I never thought I'd ever see the day when a monkey ran my country & I'm 34. I weep for our children."

For McAdam, the crucial question is how to sort this body of vitriol into its constituent parts – to separate out those individuals and groups who may be offensive and repulsive in their choice of words but are essentially harmless, from those that have the potential to be truly violent. He likes to think of it as a funnel, at the top of which are many people drawn to radical right groups for all sorts of reasons – gun rights, taxation, Obama-as-alien, or whatever. Most never go further than that level, but some do. "As they dig into the subject, going down into the funnel, they start to lose connection with the social networks around them that keep them tied to normality. Down, down they go, and eventually out the other end of the funnel emerges the Oklahoma bomber, Timothy McVeigh, who says, 'Our country is under attack, I must do something about it.'"

It's the thought that some may be emerging from the end of the funnel at this politically charged moment, McAdam says, that bothers him so, and makes him think that "violence against President Obama is a real concern".

McVeigh, executed in June 2001, is a name that crops up frequently among the extremism monitors. It comes up again when Mark Potok gives his last word on the threat to Barack Obama. The white supremacists and anti-government militia who are out to get the president should not be underestimated, he says. "These groups aren't al-Qaida. Most of them look vastly more bumbling than effective." But then he adds: "It only takes one to get through. Timothy McVeigh taught us that."

That being said, it is vitally important that the adults who are conceiving a child work with as much integrity as possible.  Meaning that as you choose to conceive a child, or choose to maintain a pregnancy, it is vitally important that you mindfully and consciously set up relationships that will support the child's life.  Those relationships are vitally important not only in regard to the fellow biological co-parent, but it is also true in regard to the relationships you have in your life that form the fabric of the life the child will come into.  It is vitally important that you be just as mindful of the other adults that you invite into the child's life as you are with the relationship with the co-parent or co-parents.  If you have a relationship that is unhealthy with a mother, a brother, a friend, then it is vitally important that you bring yourself into alignment with that relationship before conceiving the child or remove that relationship from your life before conceiving a child.  In a sense you could say that the choice to have a child creates a calling for you to live your life with more intention and integrity.

So in a sense, the question about marriage is actually a question about community.  It is the responsibility of every parent, either biological or adoptive, that you ask the same questions of all your relationships and you adjust those relationships so that what you might look for in a co-parent you also look for in the fabric of community that will surround you as a parent.  Make sure that you are an integrity and that you have asked for appropriate commitments from your friends and loved ones to support that child, or to stay out of the way or to cause as little harm as possible to the child.  Ultimately the legal contract of marriage matters far less than the energetic and social contracts that you make and hold together in your life in general and how those will affect your child. 

 here once was a norm in the United States that all children lived with a mother and a father.  The father worked and the mother stayed at home and raised the children.  Now it seems that most children are raised by two working parents or by a single parent who works.  Is this good for children or parents?  How can we make the best of this trend?

As with all things, this trend is occurring for a divine purpose and this trend is both a result of and a driving force for helping you expand and evolve as a human family.  You are in the midst of questioning and dissolving the aspects of the traditional marriage model that no longer work.  The traditional marriage model was not the original model for humanity.  Your original model was communal.  The earliest human beings favored communal rather than the biological relationships.  Community members may not have even remembered conceived the child because ultimately a child belonged to a community, and all of you belonged to each other. 

The model that favored the biological parents as being the primary caregivers evolved out of necessity when human beings met times of hardship that created isolation or dissolution of communities.  At first this happened only in great traumas when tribes were disbursed.  Over time that biological connections became privileged in different parts of the world among particular groups or communities. 

Over the process of tens of thousands of years, that biological connection became more and more privileged in some cultures, and eventually that biological privilege helped plant the seeds that eventually grew into patriarchy. 

Over time, as patriarchy evolved, as the oppression of women evolved in different ways throughout different societies, you eventually led yourselves to the model in which men were expected to fulfill a certain role in child rearing and women were expected to fulfill a different role in childrearing.  Men and women felt a great deal of pressure to fulfill those norms and therefore were unable to ask themselves that they as an individual unique and gifted individual, wanted most to bring the world and what role they most wanted to play. 

The focus on biological rather than community connection led to a set of limitations that worked well for many generations.  As you grow beyond those limitations, you eventually feel trapped -- whether it was trapped in the role of going away to earn money rather than being with your children or trapped in the role of being with your children rather than going out and doing other work in the world.  (The limitations you have grown out of are mostly based on sexism and it will serve you to listen to the Healing Sexism channeling on Ascension Radio in order to help you understand the potential benefits of dissolving the nuclear family model.)  The benefit ultimately is that it frees men and women to begin to resolve sexism as it has oppressed them in their lives and to find again, their unique individual power, their personal sense of worth and their personal calling in the world. 

Some of you are truly called to raising children; others of you are called to doing other things.  Most of you are called to do some of both.  Because a child requires full attention from adults, yet most of you are called to do things other than raising children, it therefore works best for you to cooperate as adults and raise children in communities or small groups so that a child receives attention, affection, and guidance from a large number of thoughtful, caring adults.  Each adult gives some attention to the child and other attention to their work.    

What you are finding yourselves doing is drawing yourselves back to a communal model of raising children.  The transition from the isolation that you experienced in this patriarchal of the nuclear family toward a communal family model is bumpy.  It involves you having to face the limitations you have been living under, to push up against them and remove them and then have to rebuild or creatively coordinate yourselves to build what is best for children and best for adults as they answer their true callings of the world.  Ultimately, what is best for children is to have enough loving, safe attention from adults that they feel constantly supported and they feel constantly that there is an adult they trust who is available to them. 

Some children find themselves coming to one or two parents who have the resources and the true calling to give that attention to their child all of the time so that some children will find themselves in the best scenario with just a small number, like three or four loving adults to give them attention.  Most children and most adults will find themselves best served by working in a group with something like fifteen to twenty people -- people who are trusted, people who have made true commitments to one another and to the children so that a child at any given moment is surrounded by adults they trust.  But an adult in any given moment feels free to invest in the child or to move in the world and do other work.  This occurs in extended families, it occurs in neighborhoods, it occurs in chosen communities based on a religion or based on some other endeavor or organizing factor. 

This is what all of you are building is both the ability to discern who is safe and who is divinely connected with you and the ability to draw boundaries and eliminate those fellow adults who are not safe for your child.  It is then necessary that you listen to and follow your own true calling, which might involve childrearing and something more to do in the world.  This is true for both men and for women.  Men are not born biologically with less inclination to be bonded with or spend time with their children.  In fact, many men are born with an individual contract and an individual calling to spend most of their time with their children.  Women, in the same way, are not born biologically with a calling to spend more time with children.  Instead, it is different for every individual.  This is why it is vitally important that you work with the situation that evolves in your life rather than trying to force yourself into a two-parent model or force yourself into a community model that does not feel right. 

Work with the people in your life.  Assume that the people that come into your life are there for a reason, and using your own intuition and logic, develop a sense for whether a person is really meant to be connected with your child or not.  Use your interpersonal and negotiating skills to develop a relationship in a commitment with that fellow adult to play some role in your child's life.  Whether it is helping you by spending time with your child, whether it is offering a certain kind of support to your child, you will find that different people come to your life from various directions to be part of the fabric of community that helps you raise your child. 

This is the way that humanity is evolving, particularly in western cultures that operate in the isolation-based model of the nuclear family.  These guidelines are also true for those communities or those cultures where the extended family is the norm.  It is still vitally important that you take a look and find integrity in the relationships that your child will encounter.  Eliminating those people or creating space between you and those people who you sense are not healthy for you and your child.  This is the ultimate information here, is that all of you are moving into what you would call a marriage contract with many people -- with a fabric of community rather than with a single individual.  This is true whether you are raising children or not. 

What guidance do you have for people who are exploring relationships outside the one-partner model?  It seems as if we do not often get it right in dealing with one partner.  Would it not be even harder to be mature, respectful and caring when there are additional people involved?  Can it be easier?

As you move through Enlightenment your hearts expand and your consciousness expands making it possible, even likely, and important for you to expand the way you love.  The expansion occurs in both the intensity with which you love, and the number of people with whom you fall in love.  This is true whether you define a relationship as romantic or not.  Inevitably, as you move through Enlightenment you will find your ability to fall in love expanding.  While you could always feel love for a friend, a parent or a child, these kinds of relationships have been limited.  You saw them as being smaller than romantic love.  You have created a unique experience that has been defined in human society, particularly in western society, as falling in love.  You have allowed yourselves a form of intensity in a romantic situation in which you turn yourselves over to Love.  You allow the experience of Love to become so big that it eclipses other things in your life and that is what you call “falling in love.”  Falling in love occurs when you CHOOSE to fall into it.  You allow it to eclipse other things so that feeling of love becomes your primary experience,

As you move through Enlightenment you will find that experience of falling in love, that feeling of falling in love will no longer fit in a single relationship for you.  You will find yourself feeling that Love in many ways and toward many people.  You feel it toward friends and loved ones, and sometimes even strangers you meet on the street. 

This choice to fall in Love and live in Love was embedded in the parable of the Good Samaritan in the New Testament.  It is a theme that is played out in many spiritual stories.  It is the story of choosing Love first because you feel so deeply for another human being regardless of whether you know them or not.  The truth embedded here that what you are capable of and what you are meant for as a human being is to turn yourself over to Love so that the experience of falling in love occurs all of the time in all kinds of different contexts.  That feeling and all of the choices involved, in which you surrender yourself to Love rather than making choices to back away and withhold yourself from people, that becomes relevant in all directions in your life.  What used to be unique to romantic relationships is no longer unique to romantic relationships.  You feel that feeling and you make those choices based on Love outside of your one single romantic relationship. 

For many of you this will lead you to feel less interested in romantic relationships.  For others, it will lead you to feeling romantic and making romantic relationships or partners with multiple people over time or sometimes at the same time.  How you choose to negotiate that depends on what you are here to learn and what you are here to work with.  You will find that more and more people across the planet find themselves feeling deeply attached and committed, deeply in love with, two or more people at the same time. 

This is happening because your hearts are opening like this.  It is giving you material to further your own Enlightenment progress in that when you find yourself in love with two or more people at the same time, you have a new set of choices.  You can lock yourself into a duality where you imagine that those two people are pitted against one another, that somehow your love is finite and so as you give love to one, you cut yourself off from another.  Ultimately that will lead all of you to getting hurt and that choice will lead you to being secretive and playing games; all those types of things.  Or you can choose to try stepping outside of duality.  This also poses challenges.  You can choose to be honest about your feelings with each person involved and let them make their own choices as to how comfortable they feel staying connected with you as you are honest about the feelings you are feeling for others.  What you are finding is that those of you who are meant to unravel the old romantic boundaries, those of you who are meant to explore how you can commit life partnerships with multiple people at the same time, you will find yourselves being drawn together so that often if you find yourself feeling love for multiple partners, you will find that at least some of those multiple partners will have an interest in exploring the possibility of building romantic partnerships outside of a single monogamous box. 

Many of you are not meant to work with multiple partners, but you are meant to step beyond the limitations imposed by the romantic storyline.  Instead, you will find yourselves more comfortable choosing a single partner for a romantic or sexual commitment, but you will still find it necessary to fall in love non-romantically or non-sexually with many other people and beings in your life.  Ultimately, Enlightenment leads you to reducing the uniqueness of romantic love so that you feel the intensity of loving connections in many different situations and contexts.  Another way to say that is you feel your heart open to a lot of different people and situations.  You feel your heart breaking for those people because you love them so dearly and so much.  Some of you will choose to maintain singular, romantic partnerships and some of you will find yourselves exploring and developing multiple romantic partnerships. 

The most important thing that you can do as you move through Enlightenment with this particular question of romance is to be honest with yourself about what you feel, what you are interested in and to honest with your partners about what you feel and what you are interested in.  When you ask about that ability to be mature, respectful and caring in relationships with many people, we will say it is vitally important that you strive to be all three of those things regardless of your situation.  For those of you who are meant to or will do your best work in a singular relationship, you will find that it becomes more difficult to be mature, respectful and caring when you have other partners involved. 

For those of you who are meant to or who will be best served by exploring multiple partners, you will find that having two partners who are committed to you in a lifelong relationship in an honest way can make more room for caring.  If you have three or more partners, you will find that if two of you have a conflict, you have immediately a mediator available who loves you both, who cares for you both, who can help to see the best in you both.  You can encourage each other to be mature, respectful and caring. 

Stepping beyond the duality of a single partnership requires a high level of maturity.  It requires a higher level of respect and caring and it requires a great deal more trust and faith in yourselves and a very high level of honesty or transparency.  It is not more evolved to have more partners.  It is simply a matter of what your soul is here to work with and here to learn.  The reason the Keepers have brought the idea of multiple partnerships into the dialogue is that more of you are finding it necessary to develop multiple partnerships or to address the question of multiple partnerships because all of you are blurring the boundaries of what used to be a very unique and closed system of romance.  All of you are blurring those boundaries because your hearts are expanding and you will find that the romantic storyline no longer satisfies your larger capacity for Love.  (March 2010)

So much has happened since I started my vigil for the Divine Masculine that it is hard even to know where to start. There has been such an overwhelming response to my note that  affirmed what is happening for me that I am feeling compelled to call people together during this time to talk and process what is happening individually and in the collective. I am calling a gathering of those who have been guided to be part of this vigil. I will put out a note later as to when we will gather.

I am also being called to offer a class for men that will include Sacred Body Postures, Divine Decree work and Divine BluePrint Restoration work.(More info to come about this). This class will support the reawakening of and re-memberance of the Masculine Consciousness of this Planet .  Also during this time I will offer a class for the women to help them re-member their own Divine Masculine.

A lot of people have responded with notes about their dreams confirming the struggle going on in the collective within the Masculine as well how the Feminine is responding to this struggle. Other people have written about their calling to cleanse or fast. There has been great conversations about the vigil at the store have spurred more questions than answers.

Some questions for you to ponder:

*Where did the command “Big Boys don’t cry” come from and how damaging has that been to the Masculine and to the Feminine?  How have Mothers contributed to this belief and why. How have fathers contributed to this belief and why.  How can we give the men in our lives permission to cry, to feel deeply?

*How have women gotten stuck in the anger that started the Feminist movement and how has that further harmed the Masculine? If women are still stuck in anger, what is the anger about and how can we use the energy of Anger to move forward. Are you ready to let go of your beliefs that you are a victim of the Masculine and are you ready to let go of any beliefs you have that the Feminine is better than the Masculine or that the Masculine is better than the Feminine? Are you ready to fully embody both and to see the value in both.

*How has “Stoic Masculine” abused the” Heart-Centered Masculine” (See Broke Back Mountain) within you and in the world and in the collective?

In my own personal journey, I have had many epiphanies about my relationship to the Masculine. I realized that I have held anger, love, fear, awe, protectiveness, grief and contempt for the Masculine all at the same time. There was a defining moment when I was a child in which my father’s impatience and rage froze me in fear, anger and powerlessness. I became split about my feelings for my father. He nurtured me in a way my Mother never was able to, but I became afraid of his feelings and then realized, that my gift of empathy would tell me how I needed to behave, so I wouldn’t trigger his rage. For over 40 years, the fear and anger at the Masculine overshadowed my love for the men in my life. In order to be “safe” I used my empathy to stay safe. I began to change who I was.   By freeing myself from that moment and coming into a place of compassion for my father, I retrieve my magical little girl and empowered myself so that my relationship with my husband is shifting. I realized that that the wounds I carried triggered reactions that triggered the wounds that he carried. I see his sensitive little boy that is just as afraid of the critical rage of the Feminine as I was of the Masculine critical rage.

 I was talking to my best friend from growing up and she, being a devout Christian, asked me if I knew that lent was going on right now and that it was related to Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. I did note Ash Wednesday this year, but I really know nothing about the story. My vigil for the masculine didn’t start on Ash Wednesday. Not sure what the significance is, but if I remember correctly Easter is the first Sunday after the Full Moon in Libra and I started my fast while the moon was in Libra and will end it on the first day of the new moon in Aries. When I think about Libra I think about the Scales or Balance.  What I see coming for the Divine Masculine is that even though the Masculine energy is struggling between the part of itself that is self-centered and that part of itself that is here to be of service, the end result on the new Moon in Aries will be a Divine Child that will be in touch with himself, mentally emotionally and physically. This Divine Child will be able to feel deeply, laugh loudly live large, and love deeply. He will be able to take care of himself(Ariesian energy)  so that he will be able to be of service to the world(Libran energy). He will be able to know and feel his connection to this planet as well as his connection to the Heavens. This is an archetype that is returning to the planet at this time. It is my understanding that while Christ was in the desert, He saw his shadow side, (or battled his brother) accepted the darkness, saw the gifts that the shadow (his twin) brought and then became whole. It was this descendant experience that he went through that gave him the strength, courage and knowing to be able to fulfill his destiny. In doing so, he lay down a template for humanity that should we choose to tap into it, this template will allow us to fulfill our destinies at this time.
