Endre Balogh “Our physical world is filled with geometric designs - from lowly flowers and simple shells all they way to the structure of galaxies. Many see in these structures the guiding hand of the Divine. Others see the same geometric and mathematical patterns as simply arising from natural principles. Regardless of your point of view on this subject, geometric patters lend themselves well to beautiful art. I have always been fascinated by the interface between the mundane and the spiritual, so for me, making these “Sacred Geometries” is a perfect way to explore that wonderful boundary. Since I have long been familiar with these ideas, I have used all sorts of geometrical and spiritual motifs ranging from the simplest of forms - circles, triangles, Star of David, etc. - to very complex overlapping structures and sometimes even the YHVH Hebrew Ttetragrammaton. They are frequently combinations of photographic elements and purely Photoshop digital work. I have posted them in the order they were made so if you are so inclined, you can see the progression in their creation.” Endre Balogh 4 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013

Living our Lives with Ease and Effortlessness
pedite our spiritual growth
nd and Jill Lebeau

13 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ September 2013
My pal Jill Lebeau (co-author of Feng Shui Your Mind~Four Easy Steps to Rapidly Transform Your Life) and I were chatting on the phone the other day, and Jill shared with me her desire to live her life with ease and effortlessness. Both of us were born in New York, and we share that ‘gotta get it done right now’ mentality; so when she opened up about her philosophy of living with ease and effortlessness, I was immediately intrigued.
but the thought of doing so with ease was a foreign concept to me, and information Jill shared led to a bit of an epiphany: reducing drama is absolutely compatible with living with ease and effortlessness: Spotting windows of opportunity and taking action to learn our lessons is important; but it doesn’t mean that we have to force things to happen. It means that we need to be aware of what’s going on in our lives and take appropriate action to move forward.
We joked about developing a Scarlett O’Hara attitude of ‘I’ll think about it tomorrow,’ but really, all I could think about after we hung up was, Is it truly possible to incorporate ease and effortlessness into our lives as we strive to expedite our Spiritual growth? After all, the word ‘expedite’ means to speed up or rush, and personally, I’m all about getting through Karmic lessons as quickly as possible.
I’m now in love with the thought of living life with ease and effortlessness, and so I went back to Jill and asked her for some explicit advice that I could share with The Eden Magazine readers, information that would allow us to incorporate this philosophy into our lives with ease. Jill graciously provided the following insight and wisdom, plus a list of steps for us:
After meditating on Jill’s words, I realized that while my Guide Groups are all about helping us expedite our spiritual growth, they’ve also channeled three books that revolve around teaching us to spot windows of opportunity for learning and growth more quickly. They have also always been quite clear that action on our part is necessary to make the changes that will allow us to live our lives with less drama and pain. I get that we need to make changes and take action,
Sherri, I am thrilled and honored to share this information, and I have four important steps to offer to help Readers get started. Let’s begin with our phone call. We had such a great, high energy conversation filled with soul, joy, and laughter-- the perfect ingredients to create through ease and effortlessness. You could say we were and are in the flow… of life itself. Those four little words, ‘going with the flow,’ are the essence of living a life that’s infused with ease and effortlessness.
14 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013
Yes, I agree completely that it is essential that we cultivate awareness to live with less drama, less pain, and not get stuck in suffering. However, awareness can’t be rushed or forced. It’s more of an ‘allowing’ state. I love the principle from A Course in Miracles that ‘infinite patience produces immediate results.’ Let’s break this down, okay? The cluttered mind thrives on drama and fear. So, it has a sneaky, seductive way of overtaking us, pulling us down into its clutches, and convincing us that we need to kick down those doors in order to access opportunities. This is the exact opposite of using our energy efficiently, living in the spirit of ease and effortlessness. Clarity through contrast moment…I will never forget watching Oprah interview Sir Richard Branson, the English business magnate, who is the founder and chairman of the Virgin Group of more than 400 companies worldwide. Oprah asked him if her crew could film his office, when they were touring his amazing residence. Richard pointed to his hammock… explaining that he does most of his work there because he runs his companies in the hammock, using his cell phone to allow access to all of his companies around the world. How’s that for an image of ease and effortlessness? That image has been indelibly etched on my mind. My friend Adrianna and I often ask each other, ‘Are you getting enough hammock time?’
of us that readily obscures our Spiritual power – if we let it. That’s the key. Mental clutter obscures our true nature. We are a part of nature, and like nature itself, our true nature functions in perfect harmony, balance, efficiency and total ease. That’s precisely how we can spot our windows of opportunity… quickly and efficiently, through playfulness and joy – not through force! Everything that manifests starts with the intentions we set. At the start of this year, my intention was to deepen my practice of living in faith and ease. I felt called to go within and connect with my Divine inner spark. So that’s what I did. Through honoring that guidance, I practiced getting quiet, drawing from sources of high frequency energy and wisdom as well as relinquishing my need to look for my power outside myself. I stopped fighting life and instead focused on accepting and appreciating my life as it was unfolding. I made myself available to the universe, to move through me for the highest good. I practiced releasing my attachment to how and when that would show up.
As the year draws to a close, I am thrilled to share that among the many benefits of living this way, I have felt more peaceful than ever, more gratitude for my life, more love in my heart to share with others and here’s the added bonus – my practice has been on fire! So are you ready to create your life using the least amount of energy to produce the greatSo, we need to practice mastering the est success? cluttered mind, the conditioned part 15 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September

The Observer Effect by Cosmo Cavallaro
“I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain , Move from here to there, and it will obey you and move.” ~ Jesus of Nazareth
We have heard these words of wisdom from ancient times and they have reverberated throughout the ages to our modern era. However, in our modern world, it is not only the philosophers, the gurus, the shamans, or the poets teaching us that “we create our own reality” but it is our revered scientist in their beautiful world of mathematics and quantum physics. Faith the size of a mustard seed is now referenced as the Observer Effect in the Unified Field. The Observer Effect has become a central part of the quantum world. Scientists have authenticated the fact that Con-
sciousness is an instrument actually shaping what we see as directed by our focused intention. Singularity of purpose, synchronized with the “Creative Intelligence” flowing throughout the Universe is the primary mechanics of co-creation. Using the power of intention we are creating all the time; placebo effect, the law of attraction, bio-feedback, positive attitudes, OBE’s, neuropeptides, and synchronistic events all corroborate our ability and power to co-create. “Observer Created Reality” means we actively participate in what shows up in our existence.
23 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013
Can you or I create a rose, a kangaroo, or a sunset? I don’t think so! That is the domain of the First Cause. But we can influence our reality through a tenacious intention on a specific probability such as in prayer and healing. We have all witnessed miracles in our lives and have experienced the influence of positive expectations.
science has calculated that the average person thinks about 60,000 thoughts every day. The astonishing fact is that most individuals think 80- 90% of the same thoughts they had the day before. For this reason we must not only monitor our thoughts on a moment to moment basis but introduce a significant change in our thought patterns.
“Humankind alone has the power to transform their thoughts into physical reality.” ~ Napoleon Hill
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought; our reality is founded on our thoughts. Our world arises from our thoughts.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha)
As Shakespeare so eloquently wrote, “All the world’s a stage.” This interprets to, we are the protagonists, the leading ladies and gentlemen, the writers, directors and producers of our story. We are all shape shifters. When we faithfully live from our new paradigm as co-creators of our lives, we will have a different life experience. It will take relentless mindfulness and joyful acceptance to master this lesson but when we do the character of our circumstances will shift to a positive experience. Slowly at first but it will ultimately manifest tangible results. We have all felt the effects of this mindset, either for a few hours, days, weeks or even longer. When we enter a room with a group of people that are enveloped in apparent negativity we can transform their energy with our positive attitude; this is co-creating. Our dilemma is that sooner or later we get distracted, neglectful and lazy and return to our deep rooted ways of thinking and being. We must continuously monitor our thoughts and actions if we are to replace old habits with new paradigms. Medical
It is in the depths of silence, at the deepest levels of our consciousness, that we can alter our thought patterns. It is a virtual impossibility to stop our thoughts and clear our mind of all mental activity. It’s been compared to trying to tame a drunken monkey. The “drunken monkey mind” is filled with endless chattering as your awareness leaps from thought to thought while you daydream, make choices, analyze your relationships, or worry about the future. Eventually, you start to feel like your thoughts are spinning in circles and you’re left totally bewildered. One way to overcome this wild creature in your head is through meditation, prayer or extended periods of self-referral. You come to the realization that you are not your thoughts but you are experiencing them. The difference is subtle but significant. When you are the observer of your thoughts, you can let your thoughts rise and float away without being attached to them and pulled in different directions.
24 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013
There are many systems of meditation to achieve this ability. There are breathing meditations that call on you to focus on the rise and fall of your breath, while other techniques have you concentrate on the beat of your heart, or rest your awareness on the surface of a calm lake or focus on a candle flame. These systems can produce a marginal state of calmness but during these different meditation practices the mind’s attention is being held on the level of thought; the thoughts of your breath, of your heart beat, of a lake or of a candle flame. In my experience of teaching and meditating for the past 45 years I have found that the most powerful meditation to detach from the drunken monkey mind is Transcendental Meditation. It is the profound power of the Mantra that will effortlessly move you beyond the chattering mind into your “silent sanctuary” of pure consciousness the Source of thought. The practice of daily meditation is the most potent activity to transcend the endless chattering of your mind and in so doing calm and enliven your Spirit. “Your thoughts are the creator of everything. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it will eventually manifest into a tangible external form.” ~ Paramahansa Yogananda We become co-creators of our life experiences when we keep our awareness aligned with our intentions, hopes and dreams. We must regenerate our abilities for manifesting our desired reality. We must realize and accept our own power to create. The ancient wisdom of our Spiritual Masters has taught us that cre-
ating our own reality manifests into existence when our awareness is seamlessly aligned with pure consciousness. Just as we plug in our electronic devices to recharge them we can also plug our awareness into the ultimate charging station. During meditation we are plugged into the influence and power of Creative Intelligence and our awareness is at the level of Pure Being and that experiential knowledge confirms our reality as co-creators of our existence.

DIVINE
FREQUENCIES by Ellen Heller Artwork by Maryam Morrison
So many times we feel “bad,” and oftentimes, and thankfully, someone ‘cheers us up;’ literally they are raising our vibrational frequency into a higher realm, and we ‘feel better.’ What is really happening is that we are literally being ‘raised/uplifted’ into a different frequency, which produces a different reality/life experience. We are Energy—Loving Energy, vibrating at certain frequencies–and in each frequency is a world—lower frequencies bring lower, unpleasant life experiences; higher frequencies bring joyful experiences.
feeling. That is why, even though your ‘outside’ reality appears to look the same from day to day, people all around are experiencing a different life experience (or world), than you may be. They are simply vibrating at a different frequency, which is calling different experiences to them, and setting them on a different course. In many ways, similar to a video game; each frequency is a different level, providing different situations and hence, different life experiences.
How many times have we had a ‘bad or good’ day? It looks like we are in the same ‘space,’ but we are literally not… we are, instead, going to different “diLiterally, we are Energy, vibrating, going mensions” or levels, that look identiin and out of different frequencies ac- cal but vibrate at different frequencording to how we are thinking, and then cies, producing different experiences. 31 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013
The easiest way to, therefore, change your life, is to change how you are thinking, and most importantly, FEELING. This will change your frequency, and uplift you to a higher, safer, more joyful vibrational frequency, and therefore, change your life experiences. Gratitude is one of the first steps to help this frequency change, as Gratitude is the first step in the vibration of Love. It is SO IMPORTANT to be feeling happy and grateful, ALWAYS, for as we feel, we vibrate, as we vibrate we experience. Therefore, our State of “Being,” is our Vibrational Frequency, and to Love places us in the Highest Vibrational Frequency of All, which is God. (GOD/ LOVE are Interchangeable) That is what all The Masters have always said and will always say; to Love is to connect to life, which is God, which connects to all Good and Abundance; it is to vibrate at a High Frequency that allows us to enter into “Heaven;”

A Poem By Rich Okun
Would there be this eternal seeking if the found existed? ~Antonio Porchia
Why are we always looking? What are we looking for? Why can’t we stop looking? Looking, looking, more and more…. And would we know it when we see it? For what we seek is drenched in mystique, and I am beginning to understand, that to keep insisting, is our demand, and what is now becoming clear, is that although searching is dear, what we are looking for may not yet be there to explore. 37 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ September 2013
Purpose of Life
Using Ancient Energies to Live Your Purpose Today By Lynn Scheurell Art by Maryam Morrison It IS creating as you go. It’s a dynamic process that means you are never wrong or in the wrong place; rather, you are always where you need to be to get the information that will take you from where you are to get you to where you want / need to be.
own nature. This is trickier than it sounds because it means complete self-acceptance of all of your parts, even the notso-pretty ones because, when loved, all of your parts become radiant and purposeful. This is all about you, and no one else. If you are not in harmony with yourself, it is impossible to be in harmony with It IS about being in harmony with your your true purpose. 38 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ September

Ancient Energies for Understanding Using ancient energies as a compass to live your purpose means understanding there are rhythms that underlie all of life in every moment, and being aware of your unique ability to merge with, and express, that source energy. Said another way, you have access to the same simple and timeless awareness that has inspired and supported every living being to express their special reason for being through the ages. You can access that awareness through various key points for guidance to your own purpose, including the following. Watch nature for symbols, signs, cycles and flow in order to apply what you see to your own experience of your life purpose. Everything in nature has information about the gap between how you are living and how you are meant to live on purpose.
for granted. You are an amazing and unique individual who has a purpose that is yours alone. By knowing that you are precious to the universe and taking care of yourself accordingly, it is where you begin to honor your purpose. Accept that all is right up until now. You are where you are because you needed to gain experience, learn and grow. There is no shame in where you’ve been, or even in being stuck, up until now. Accepting your role in expressing your purpose means that you have the power to create a different future. As you take responsibility for what you’ve learned, your life –your purpose – becomes “cleaner”.
You will find that your purpose expresses in direct proportion to how well you know yourself. Living on purpose means knowing yourself well enough to know what makes you feel lit up from the inside out most of the time. Your purpose is the expression of universal being. Perhaps Look at the world around you; that is, Shakespeare summed it up best when everyone and everything around you he simply said, “To Thine Own Self Be are the mirrors that reflect the choices True”. And you’ll know when you are… you’ve made and how you’re showing up in the world. If you don’t like what you see, you’re not living on purpose. Be present for yourself. Feel your feelings fully to acknowledge them as messengers for your truth. Be in the moment (vs. living in the past or projecting into the future); stay “here” and let go of what’s not working right now. Incidentally, it’s not about judging good or bad but, rather, if “it” is serving you or not. If not, let it go. Honor who you are; don’t take yourself

Juice Detox is an extremely common kind of detox diet. Quite a few have reported regarding the benefits which they encounter with juice fasting. Such as getting rid of of skin allergy symptoms, minimizing recurrent headaches and also as an organic solution for bowel irregularity. Juice fasting offers the body the opportunity to take a rest from needing to digest the food by using vegetable drinks. Throughout a prolonged fast (more than 3 days), the body actually starts to reduce and process the tissues through autolysis. It commences by decomposing tissues and cells, which have been infected or broken. For instance, dead cells, tumors, excess fat deposits and abscesses. A lesser amount of acid inside your stomach is created since there is no food to digest. Your internal organs including the liver and the colon can concentrate on the reduction of unsafe toxins that have developed through the years.
