The power of connection is universal from the editor

by Tim Miejan

W

e innately know about connection, the link we form with one another.

We’ve been forming bonds with others for eons in the Afterlife as members of soul groups – and in this lifetime as members of families, communities and nations.

We’re hardwired to interact with others.

Fortunately for us, we’re part of the first civilization in human history with the ability to send messages to vast groups of people from around the globe with the touch of a keypad or a click of a mouse. And with the recent development of social media sites – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus+ and others being launched every day – millions of people are not only sharing data and information with each other,

but they are inspiring others to awaken and realize who they truly are as souls experiencing life in this realm. The Internet itself is assisting in the collective awakening of humankind.

The Edge is a part of this awakening process underway in cyberspace. By intending to reach out globally – and learning how that is done most effectively, visits to our site at Edgemagazine.net have begun to grow exponentially compared to the same time last year – and even last month.

No, we’re not seeing millions of visitors yet, but we’re happy that tens of thousands of people are visiting our site – mostly from the U.S., but also from abroad, including Canada, Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand, Philippines, Mexico, South Africa, Singapore, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates. It’s no surprise that what we offer on our site resonates with people worldwide.

For those who haven’t visited Edgemagazine.net, our site offers: • Regular online Edge columnists Angie Bailey (Feline Wisdom), Nadine Penny (Spirited Kidz) and Alan Cohen (From the Heart), whose wisdom continues to inspire me every month and deserves your attention.

• A plethora of incredibly insightful articles that we do not have room to print but want to share with our global audience.

• The printed magazine in PDF form (Digital Edge) that can viewed as a flipbook onscreen.

• And online directories of featured businesses arranged by category (such as animal services, hypnotherapy and retreat centers), our Edge Directory, places to find the printed Edge magazine, and so much more.

We’re working hard to share the light and love. We invite you to visit us online – and share the joy by linking our site to yours! a

Beloved author, thought leader Debbie Ford dies at 57

D

ebbie Ford, 57, the bestselling author and teacher known for her work in helping people break free of their emotional baggage and fears, died on Sunday, February 17, 2013 in her home in San Diego, Calif., after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by friends and family who gathered around her to lovingly send her off to her next journey.

Considered a thought leader for her generation, Debbie burst onto the scene with her first book, The Dark Side of the Light

edgemagazine.net

Chasers, in 1998, showing the world that even loving and self-aware people have a darker side. She took readers on a journey of identifying, facing, and embracing their shadow selves. Her Shadow Process Workshop became the foundation of her work in the nearly two decades to follow. She penned nine best-selling books and was working on her 10th book at the time of her death.

She was a popular media guest, with many stints on “The Oprah Winfrey

Show,” as well as appearances on “Larry King Live!,” “Good Morning America” and “Fox News.” She also hosted a weekly radio program on HayHouseRadio.com.

Having overcome a drug addiction, a difficult divorce, a heartbreaking betrayal, and many hard knocks in life, Debbie was never shy about sharing her personal story.

In fact, she often mused, with a laugh and a roll of her eyes, that a great deal of her wisdom and insight came through her own difficult life experiences. Even when faced with a grave cancer diagnosis, she opted for courageously sharing her journey with Oprah Winfrey in 2012. Read more online. a

We come as spirits to a physical plane, to create a joyful celebration of love.

So here and now, we reclaim this place from you who have stolen it, who misuse it for revenue and vanity, who abuse, contort and degrade humanity until it mirrors your own deformities, who twist and contort our true and eternal purpose for your own perverse notions, from you who transform paradise into a battlefield and Eden into a landfill, who name your price and impoverish the planet, who strip mountains and plunder forests for profit and so-called progress, from you who cheat and cheapen, who exploit man and beast, who congratulate each other’s misdeeds, who demolish and declare “victory,” who promote destruction as accomplishment.

An idea whose time has come: The home-based business

by Liz Loney

V

ictor Hugo is quoted as saying, “You can resist an invading army, you cannot resist an idea whose time has come.”

The home-based business entrepreneur is just such an idea and all indications are that this idea is here to stay.

Minneapolis Lakes Professionals is an organization that seeks to sustain, support and give voice to this growing demographic of entrepreneurs. The organization also spotlights the neighborhood economic benefits of “shopping local,” noting that home-based businesses are just as relevant as shopping locally owned store-front businesses.

Over a year-and-a-half ago, the Southwest Journal published an article that brought to light just how large and prosperous this demographic really is. In an analysis done by two board members of the Nicollet-East Harriet Business Association, it was found that there were “approximately 203 home-businesses in their service area doing an estimated $36.5 million in annual sales.

By comparison, the same analysis determined there were approximately 137 store-front businesses in the area accounting for $53.3 million in annual sales.”

I read this article with much interest — actually, with more than interest. It was a moment of inspiration that sort of powered its way into my gut, swelled up into my heart and only then, eventually made its way to my brain. As a Certified Life Coach, I wanted to improve the marketing of my personal home-based businesses, so I followed

these internal cues. I began calling neighborhood home-based business and organized the first meeting of Minneapolis Lakes Professionals in my living room in September 2011. This organization serves this “ever expanding” home-based business demographic, and it supports members through cooperative marketing, networking and referrals.

Our group will present The Expo for HomeBased Businesses on Sunday, April 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Aria at the Jeune Lune in Minneapolis [www.ariampls.com]. Free workshops will be offered throughout the day by homebased business owners. The keynote speakers are Mickey Mickelson, on “How to be your own Chief Financial Officer,” and Sheryl Hill, on “The Power of Social Media.” Food is catered and beverages will be sold.

If you are interested in exhibiting your homebased business ($150 per booth, with discount for early registration), visit www.minneapolislakesprofessionals.com and fill out an application at the bottom of the Events page. Minneapolis Lakes Professionals meets monthly on the 1st Thursday of the month from Noon - 1 p.m., at The United Church of Christ, Fellowship Hall, 4200 Upton Ave. S., Minneapolis. Those interested can attend a complimentary meeting and experience the energy and progressiveness of this growing organization. a Liz Loney is director of Minneapolis Lakes Professionals [www. minneapolislakesprofessionals.com]. Contact her at 612.922.9150 or LLoney77@aol.com for more information.

spent the day painting a bathroom.

With each stroke and dip of brush into the can thoughts of you covered me, leaving me whitewashed in love.

Thoughts of you never leave me and it is during times like now, when I’ve stopped everything to really look at my thoughts and maybe find a way to organize them into a strand of words, I recognize the wonder of the human brain and how it is I can seem to be in a constant stream of thought of you and yet accomplish so many things, like getting a bathroom painted or the pets fed or the gas tank filled or the bills paid or a salad made or edit a book report for a book I’ve never read or shave my legs or sing along to Jonathan Edwards or vacuum the dead flies out of the window sill again or listen to the wind or hear the world’s arguments repeat over and over and over until I realize the other 90 percent of my brain has an awfully small ego not to want to force itself on the other 10 percent more often than it does, but it’s because that 10 percent is so thickly concentrated, like the creamy paint in that brush, with gratitude for you, it would be silly to think ego could rinse you out of my head.

There is no rinsing you away, brushing you away, no walking away from you. a Giselle M. Massi is a former journalist with The Denver Post and author of “We are Here for a Purpose: How to Find Yours” and the novel “Just Dance the Steps.” Contact Giselle at www.gisellemassi.com.

n many ways, healing the physical body is more about where our consciousness lies than what external influences are used to affect change in an illness. The desire to heal the body without synthetic drugs or other artificial means usually results from an awakening of some sorts; something from within awakens and responds to that “inner nudge” to find a way to heal that honors the body’s divine inner wisdom.

All of sudden, or even slowly, an awareness evolves that possibly the food that one eats is not meeting the soul’s needs anymore. Or the “nudge” might be to find a job that is more in line with one’s higher calling. Or, after having undergone extensive medical treatment, an individual responds to an “inner nudge” that says, “No more, this is not an acceptable way to treat my body and I’m ready to try something else.”

And then the magic starts to happen. A person responds to a somewhat cosmic invitation to experience Reiki; all of the sudden they see or hear about Reiki. They see a promotional piece from Dr. Oz, or an advertisement, maybe a massage therapist recommends it, or they receive a “nudge” from someone that shared their own Reiki experience with them. Then they finally experience Reiki for themselves.

They sought assistance to become balanced and in tune with their inner world. They discovered the world of energy and became familiar with their connection to their own inner wisdom.

The Reiki experience can, by itself, result in a complete healing. Or, it can merely help the recipient relax and tune in to their higher self.

Many times it’s somewhere in between. It’s this in-between having a complete healing or relaxation that can create a place for a life-changing journey to a healthy state of being. Hence, the journey becomes more important than the destination.

So now what? The answer usually lies in the consciousness, or awareness, of a person. Will it be conventional medicine as a solution? A holistic health modality? Or both? Some work, some don’t. Or, what works for some people but not for others. But now the answer doesn’t seem so easy. The “inner nudge” that was made conscious through Reiki is making the decision about how to access additional healing more difficult; how can the physical body be honored, yet access the information about where the imbalance is coming from, thus enabling a more comprehensive healing experience?

Muscle testing, also known as “kinesiology,” is a time-tested solution to a person’s desire to integrate their body’s own inner wisdom and finding the best remedy match. It uses the body’s own communication system to test responses to various remedies. The body communicates its needs and wants, energetically.

In the same way that Reiki energy healing accesses the body’s system of chakras, nutritional kinesiology accesses the body’s muscle reflex system to get a response to nutritional substances such as herbs, foods and supplements. Kinesiology uses an individual’s unique energy to reveal where there are stressed areas of the body and what is needed to promote healing.

There are many forms of kinesiology. One form of kinesiology is called nutritional kinesiology. It focuses on how the body’s nutritional status may be creating a disease state and how to resolve those stresses by implementing the correct nutritional substances. It embraces an individual’s own healing signature, as what may work for one person may not work for another. Nutritional kinesiology works on the premise that the body is not just a lot of specialized areas seeking specialized input, it is an “interdimensional experience” that functions as a whole. Therefore, remedies help the whole body, much as Reiki does.

Many times a person has an assortment of supplements they have been taking but don’t get better. Or, they may have even gotten worse.

Many times it is because the autonomic nervous system is in a state of confusion from one or more stressors and keeps the body from properly using a substance. Or, there may be blocks causing the body to not use a substance properly. These obstacles to healing can come from chemicals, foods, immune challenges, metals, and even scars. Muscle testing can challenge the body’s nervous system in ways that help detect the cause of a health challenge and assist in nutritionally correcting the stressed areas.

A person’s “quantum field” is body-wise. It knows everything about a person and serves as a master diagnostic tool. It is the ability of the body to give messages about many things: what’s happening inside, what allergies may be present, what is the most beneficial medicine, and what message there may be (such as “don’t eat peanuts” or “there is disease present”).

So, as one chooses to participate consciously in their healing and embrace the process of healing with the energy of the soul, they take on not only their own transformation, but also those around them. Disease can either render one helpless and in a state of “victimhood” or it can transform. Both Reiki and muscle testing are two powerful modalities that can assist in transformation. a Barbara Ford, B.A., MH., is a Reiki Master and Master Herbalist who uses the Nutritional Response Testing by Ulan Nutritional Systems protocol for muscle testing. Barbara also does Intuitive Tarot readings. Her practice is at The Wellness Circle in Lino Lakes, MN. She is also a board member for the National Health Freedom Coalition.

In the sweetest moments my psychic life

by Bridgette Doerr

A

s I walked down the hallway to Megan’s room, a deep sense of understanding came through me. A few minutes before, I was bounding down the steps thinking about how sweet Nathan was, now almost 2, with his mop of blond hair resting on his pillow and how sweet it was to watch my oldest daughter almost 10, lean over him, kiss his tired little forehead and say “ I love you Nathan.” It moved me so deeply inside.

Maybe it’s these types of moments that we live for but don’t realize it. Maybe because we are too busy, too tired, or too caught up in our supposedto-do things that we don’t really notice the sweetest of things.

Tonight I did. I saw it and I felt it. Love.

The real thing. Unplanned, unprompted, real. It warmed my heart. If only I could take credit for the bond between them. The oldest and the youngest of four children with eight years separating them.

But nothing else — not age, not gender, none of their differences but only their likeness.

They are certainly meant to be together. It feels so good to be part of that.

With all the energy work, the shifts, the mood swings that I have been going through lately with my psychic upgrades and advancements, I have found myself questioning if the path that I have chosen was really worth it. So much struggle, so much work, like an Olympic athlete preparing for that one great race. I have been through many layers of thick, heavy,

stuck energy to make room for the new awareness that is coming in. Many people are feeling the magnificent energy shifts, and it is certainly causing many to be at the very least unhappy and moody. For me, it’s much more.

The moment tonight with my children, being there sharing a true loving sentiment, I realized just a tiny bit how all the “stuff” I go through is really worth it — the periodic changes in mood, the unexplainable draw to places or people in history, all sorts of really different things, that are not easy to talk about or even to understand.

All the weird stuff I deal with daily is really worth it, because it helps me to connect at a deeper level. It will help me to really be in a moment like the one I described. And to feel it in its authenticity. And I did.

Maybe feeling is the point of the latest round of changes at my soul level. Feeling may not be such a bad thing, not a punishment as I have interpreted it for so many years.

What if feeling is a gift? If that is the case, then even the bad stuff has to be part of the equation. Without the darkness, you would not really know the light.

Maybe the pain, the struggle and the lacking is for a purpose.

To really know the love when it is there. In the sweetness of moments. And this is my psychic life. a Bridgette Doerr is a psychic, soccer mom and founder of Fairy Grasshopper, living a soul-full life helping others to connect to their soul’s voice and grow their Intuition.

Survive, thrive using intuitive insight

W

by Carol McCormick

e live in an Age of Change.

It’s like our planet is being overrun by adolescents with turbulent emotions close to the surface, and it’s ready to erupt at any time. Patriarchal world systems and old ways of thinking are breaking down and we are being called to create something new. Unresolved personal issues are coming to the surface in order to be healed. Our separation mindset of “me” is being replaced by “we.”

Intuitive insight is a survival skill for this Age of Change where old rules and systems no longer work. Like radar, it helps us fly through the dark unknown. Being the opposite of brooding, defensiveness and fear, intuition frees up vast quantities of emotional and physical energy.

Available to everyone Intuitive insight is available to everyone. It comes from the Energetic Divine Internet to which anyone can connect. Certain factors predispose us to connect: • Trust that all will be well by adopting an attitude of relaxation and joy. Live in the Present Moment, feeling gratitude for everything and grasping for nothing.

Reframe “problems” as “puzzles” to solve that will teach and enlighten you.

• Keep your pineal gland healthy.

This is our receiver for intuitive insight.

It is tiny and shaped like a pine cone and located in the center of your brain. Put

12

edgemagazine.net

your thumb at your Third Eye and your middle finger on top of the middle of your head and imagine a line of energy going out the tips of both those fingers. Your Pineal Gland is where those lines meet.

It is filled with tiny crystals that pick up God signals, just like the crystals in a radio receiver. Avoid poisons such as fluoride in water or toothpaste, which shrink the pineal gland and calcify these crystals.

• Use Bibliomancy (divination by books). Go to your personal library, bookstore, another’s library or a public library.

Soften your eye focus as you let your inner wisdom guide you to a particular book.

Hold that book in your hands and ask a question. Then let your intuitive insight lead you to open to a page and guide you to a particular place on that page (i.e. lower right corner). Read the passage written in that place and let your imagination tell you how these words apply to your question.

• Use kinesthetic rhythm to distract your rational analytical mind and send your consciousness into subconscious territory. In other words, decrease your fast beta brainwaves and increase your delta and theta brainwaves by wandering around in nature. Observe something that moves continuously like stream, waterfall or river.

Watch a fountain or the sway of leaves in the breeze. Move: walk, run, drive, swim, bike, skate, ski, ride a horse. Toss a thousand random facts into your brain and go outside for a rambling walk, letting your

right hemisphere create a Eureka moment.

• Hang out in restful, playful energy.

Balance play with rest. Play when your energy is high. Rest when your energy is low. If you find yourself killing time, looking for ways to escape or being a workaholic, you are putting up barriers to intuitive insight and cutting yourself off from the Energetic Internet. Take a nap.

Sleep in. Read a novel. Pestilential feelings of fear and exhaustion — and grasping, grim, effortful energy — let your reptilian lower brain create “lack and attack” fears of not having enough and knowing something bad will happen.

The wild choices Intuitive insight increases by following it. Following it may lead us down paths that feel unsafe. Yet, it is important that when it leads you to the edge of a metaphorical cliff and tells you to jump, forget thinking about the landing and worrying about the fall. Leap! Historically, intuitive insights are responsible for the wild choices of lovers, saints, and agents of change. When we act on intuitive insight, we can feel scared, a bit crazy, and wonderful all at the same time! a Carol McCormick is a professional storyteller, public speaker, workshop leader, ritual facilitator, and author who does psychic readings. With her husband, Jerry Buchmeier, she leads Synergy Meditations and Spiritual Exploration Weekends to increase participants intuitive creation abilities.

the March featured topic Synchronize every day through intention, prayer, meditation

by Jill Rae

Faulkner

M

y greatest tip for receiving intuitive insights can be done every day.

Let us synchronize our minds and bodies through intention, prayer and meditation to Source.

I find that practicing twice a day — upon waking and before sleeping — is easiest. It calms me for sleep and sets up my day to view the bigger picture that is so valuable to intuitive insight.

Drifting away from this practice, I noticed that exciting synchronicities had abandoned me. Insights became dull and lacked vision. I found myself sucked into a vortex of time speeding up, and I was racing to accomplish things that I thought would feed my self-worth.

Remembering how sweet life was with intuitive insight, once again I returned to the memories and the desire of the sweet gifts that were so near and dear to my heart with this one small step: Intuitive insight, manifesting, feeling my spiritual vibration, and knowing my true spiritual purpose. a

Intuitive body wisdom: Trust your gut

R

by Leah Skurdal

emember a time when you let your mind override your gut feeling — with less-than-favorable consequences?

After I had a few of those experiences, I learned to trust my gut and follow

my intuition.

As a naïve 19-year-old, I found myself in a couple of very uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations. My gut had been screaming at me to get out, but my good girl mind justifications convinced me to stay. By the grace of God, nothing came of it. However, I got scared enough to start paying attention to my uncomfortable gut feelings. Paying attention to what my body was communicating helped me develop a relationship with my Body Wisdom.

Too many women, like me, learn to distrust their bodies and discount the wisdom their bodies share. Now, I teach my daughters, their friends, other women and men about trusting their Body Wisdom. Over the past twenty years, I have studied my own Body Wisdom intently to learn some excellent gifts. Here are a few tips that might work for you, too. To get in touch with the wisdom of your body: • Breathe. If you can get to a quiet place, great! If not, create a quiet space for yourself inside. Shift your focus inward and notice how your breath feels in your nostrils and how your rib cage expands with each breath. There are many different kinds of breathing exercises. Doing some type of breathwork is more important than which type of breathwork you choose.

To get started, count your breathing. Breathe in while counting to four. Pause while counting to four. Exhale while counting to four. When a thought comes, notice it, and go back to counting while breathing. When you notice you have been thinking for a while, go back to counting your breathing. After a few minutes of breathing in this way, notice how you feel different in your body.

Listen inwardly with soft-focused inner awareness.

• Move. Find a private space if you can. Put on some music — soft flute and harp or a strong drum beat — according to your mood. Turn your focus inward. Notice where in your body you feel the music: in your head and chest or in your hips

and feet. In BodySoul Movement, you let your body lead. In t’ai chi or yoga, your mind learns specific movements and reminds your body how to move correctly. In BodySoul Movement, you allow your mind to observe how your body moves itself. When I let my mind observe and give my body permission to self-correct during BodySoul Movement, sometimes my movements are graceful and sometimes my body repeats a motion long enough to give me a chiropractic adjustment. Other times I am just still and aware. While moving, notice the story unwinding in your mind and body.

• Notice. Get to know your body. Look at a reflexology chart while rubbing your foot and notice what parts of your body correlate to the sensitive spots on your foot. Slowly run your fingertips over your scalp and notice the bumps on your head. Gently massage your scalp with little finger circles. With the fingers of one hand, look for a tender spot on your calf or forearm and hold the spot until the tender soreness melts. When you hold that tender spot with loving intention, you are nourishing and balancing your body systems.

• Inhabit your body. Feel the chair under your butt. See the colors, shadows and reflections around you. Hear your heartbeat. Be amazed at how your soul brings a spark of the Divine Creator into physical form through you.

One part of developing your intuition is connecting to the wisdom of your body.

Decision making and USING Intuition

by Judy Steele

H

ow many times a week do you need to make a decision without all the facts you’d like to have? If you’re a manager — of anything, from a household to a multibillion-dollar corporation to your own life —you’re probably faced with that kind of challenge daily. But in this rationally oriented culture, you may not realize there are ways to make quite sensible decisions without adequate logical

information, yet with a minimum of stress.

Doing this effectively requires learning to operate with our intuitive abilities, as well as our rational ones.

Years ago, I was in the business of developing training programs for major corporations. I had a staff in a Washington, D.C., suburb, and client organizations around the country. I was also very active in national professional groups. I was truly Decision continued on page 15 

« Watching television is like taking black spray paint

 Decision continued from page 14 a “jet set consultant,” and I lived with a high level of stress related to all my responsibilities.

At General Electric’s management development center, I happened to attend a talk by Dr. Gerald Gordon of Boston University, who spoke on “Decision Making in the Absence of Adequate Data.” Dr. Gordon showed the reasonableness and efficacy of using intuitive tools when you don’t have enough facts…and even sometimes when you do have a lot of facts but the decision is still not clear.

Not long after that, I attended a professional society presentation

by Dr. Michael Ray of Stanford University on the importance of intuition in business creativity.

So, with that validation from researchers, I set out to learn how to do it…because I certainly needed it!

Initially, I focused on learning to use intuitive tools, and I became familiar with the I Ching (a major tool used by Chinese rulers in the past), various card decks, the pendulum and dowsing rods. Eventually, I learned a Hawaiian/African stone casting technique. Some of these are more useful for “bigpicture” information, and others are best for simple “yes/no” answers. They all worked fine for me, once I learned to utilize a few basic principles of practice.

Consider these: • Be very clear and specific in asking your question. Without a clear question, the answer may be unclear or misleading.

• Set aside your emotions and expectations. What you want is the straight scoop. If you’re too emotionally involved in an issue,

get help from somebody skilled who can be neutral about it, because your own emotions can produce garbled or misleading answers.

• Get yourself mentally quiet, and stay mentally quiet as you do your inquiry. Deep breathing, grounding techniques and certain flower essences can help with quieting the mind.

• Listen quietly for the answer.

• Accept the first answer you get; that’s the one that comes from your intuition.

Eventually, I learned to just get quiet, ask a question, and be attentive to whatever answer comes. But I still use the tools when I’m doing several things at once (as I am when I’m working with clients in my office), or when I’m not sure I’m able to be emotionally neutral.

Back then, I took the risk of sharing what I had learned at a national professional conference. Remarkably, the meeting room was packed with more than 300 very interested people, and though a few of my old-timer behaviorist colleagues muttered darkly about my apostasy, I was not run out of town on a rail— in fact, I had become more popular.

Eventually, over time, my intuition helped me to leave that field, enter a new one, and move to a new home base in Minneapolis.

by Cathryn Taylor

erry Newbegin, a successful businessman, entrepreneur and family man from Johnson City, Tennessee, has always been intrigued about the mystical side of life. His greatest passion is to bring in new energy consciousness and extend beyond the old vibrational energy of the Bible, and beyond how scripture is taught by religion. Newbegin is a pioneer in new energy. He works with the Ascended Masters, and the wisdom he has received from them focuses on: • How and why your soul has been hiding from you for many lifetimes; • Why our strong belief in sin, punishment and duality is the major cause for us not healing our situations in life; • How your choice to open your heart and put aside dogmatic beliefs will reveal your soul’s innate wisdom; • How you can create miracles and attain the life that you deserve.

His writing is directly tied to a supernatural experience he had a quarter century ago. “It was in the spring of 1975 when I witnessed three apparitions late one night, as Franciscan monks, wearing their traditional brown robes and with their hoods over their heads. The message given to me that night was that it was meant for me to

Terry Newbegin

know the Truth in this lifetime. Of course, what I did not realize at the time was that it was going to take me 38 years to learn that truth.”

Newbegin is the author of three books, the latest of which is Unlocking the Consciousness of Your Soul (Balboa Press, 2012), a text that takes you back to the first creation, the Garden of Eden, and shares how it relates to your evolution through time and space.

He writes that when we live and make decisions from the mind of reason — from long-established interpretations of God’s words and from what experts assert is best for us — “your soul cannot bring forth the wisdom that you hold deep within your consciousness.”

His earlier books are: Genesis, Your Journey

Home, revealing the deeper metaphysical meaning of the first 25 chapters of the Book of Genesis, verse by verse; and The Book of Revelation, a New Beginning, which contains the hidden secrets of St. John’s Revelation.

“The book depicts in great detail how our spirit, mind, and body became separated through ignorance, mental perception, susceptibility, and through time and space and in the end, how all parts and pieces of ourselves come back together as one body of consciousness,” Newbegin recently told host Cathryn Taylor in an Edge Talk Radio podcast interview. “We are becoming a sovereign being in our own right. My first two books were channeled by me with such grand masters as Melchizedek, Jeshua (known as Jesus), Adonis St. Germain, Ascended Master Kuthumi, and many other grand masters, including John the Apostle.”

When you say these books were channeled, what was your experience of that? How does that come through you?

Terry Newbegin: Actually, I just sit down

at the keyboard, and as I went through the Bible, verse by verse in Genesis and Revelations, I could actually feel their energy and I just typed what just come through.

They give you a download of thoughts and it takes you two days to write it out.

How did you come up with the title for your latest book, Unlocking the Consciousness of Your Soul?

TN: The title fits to what I did for over

41 years, challenging myself to become a successful business owner. You see, after

I graduated from high school in 1966, I found myself very absorbed with the automotive parts business. By the fall of 1971, I found myself in business with three other individuals opening up an auto parts store.

The business lasted three years before it went belly up. However, because of my passion for business, eight months later I found myself back in business for the second time, this time with one partner, and that lasted 18 years before my world once again was turned upside down.

You can say there was a time in my life, early in 1993, when I really believed that God had forsaken me. Following several months of unemployment, prayer, despair, blame, and allowing the mind and others to put me down, I began to sit still and take a few deep breaths. At first, it was only a few minutes a day, and then I finally worked up to about 30 minutes a day.

Now, with this deep breathing, I didn’t realize how important it was at the time. It was a time in my life when I really felt my emotions on a conscious level, and how out of balance I had become. Then one day, while sitting still doing some deep breathing, I unexpectedly began to feel someone talk to me. When I first felt this unknown energy around me, I thought that maybe, which we all seem to do, my mind was making things up. And yet, in spite of what my mind was judging it to be, I could feel the sincerity of some invisible force talk to me, because somehow I just knew it was not coming from my mind.

You can always feel the difference, can’t you?

TN: Oh, you sure can! That was the time

when I really felt my soul ground me, and it was a time when my soul revealed to me that it was time to learn about who I truly am and where I truly come from. From that experience I actually opened up to a whole new wisdom, a wisdom that I had never been exposed to or had experienced before.

I remember that it was an amazing feeling, actually too hard to describe, for there was no judgmental feeling of any kind coming from it. You can say that from the time I was born to my mid-50s, I learned the hard way until I found the secret behind God’s miracles. The secret is that true miracles don’t come from God or from others. Miracles come from Self, because the real God is Self inviting you into your own soul.

There is a lot of confusion about what the soul is, whether it’s even real.

TN: The best way to explain the soul is by

giving you a brief metaphor. After you hear it, then you will understand why my soul took me all the way back to the beginning, back to the first creation — because what better way to show me who I truly am and why I suffered than by taking me all the way back to my very beginning as a soul being and not as a human being.

You see, consciousness in its truest

that each Sun would be in the same image as the original Sun before it exploded. Each smaller Sun would have the same attributes as the original one. Each Sun would be alike, or equal to, the first Sun. In other words, our minds and egos were formed out of our spirit and soul. Before our minds and egos were formed, our spirit and soul always was, and together they make up the individualized I Am personality of the Spirit of One. All gazillions of us soul beings are the I Am personality of the Spirit of One, or in this metaphor, the God/ Goddess that we call God. In the beginning, all soul beings had a spirit and a consciousness, but it was nonactive, because our souls were not aware of themselves. But once we became aware of our consciousness, that is when we felt our individuality. It was from that individualized awareness that we came to the conclusion that we couldn’t see ourselves and, therefore, we had no idea who we were.

MORE NEW BOOKS ONLINE Read previews of other new books, music and video this month at Edgemagazine.net meaning is a state of us being aware of our beliefs and our thought patterns, because we are programmed to believe that the mind is the master of our destiny. Because of that, we are robotically programmed to disregard any talk of something beyond the mind or above it. Therefore, when it comes to understanding God, our soul or where we come from, why we’re here on Earth and who created us, the mind can only resort to what it already knows, which is that we are unworthy to be equal to God. The mind believes that God is a male personality unto Himself, who created all things, including man and the soul. That is why we believe that God can grant us miracles, such as a healing, if He desires it so. Well, He can’t.

He can’t, because God is not a single deity unto Himself.

Here is the metaphor that I use quite a bit: Imagine for a moment the Sun, with its glowing light and the energy emanating from it, as if the Sun was all there was billions and billions of years ago.

Just imagine for a minute that the Sun was the only excellence in the Heavens and everything else far and near never existed.

Let’s say there were no planets, no stars, no galaxies, no Earth, nothing, not even darkness. Only the Sun existed. Now, let us look at this Sun’s light as symbolizing the spirit of One, and the energy falling from it as symbolizing Universal Divine Mind.

Now, let’s look at them both as one unit, representing all that was in the first creation as the God/Goddess.

Let’s say the Sun, billions and billions of years ago, exploded into gazillions and gazillions of smaller Suns. What we would see is

How does this fit in to when that consciousness actually took physical form?

TN: Well, this is the whole point. In order

to see ourselves, our spirit took action and created a mirror image of ourselves, like a hologram, of us having a soul consciousness, a persuasive and psychological mind, and an ego consciousness so our spirits could shape ourselves into some type of form, like a physical body — so we could see ourselves. Being the creator that we are, once we asked who we were, that automatically set up our spirit to challenge our soul, our mental mind, and our ego. In answering the question, this action has allowed us soul beings to learn about life, as well as who we are, and what it means to be alive and making choices. That’s the best way I can describe it.

So, what we are talking about is that once the ego formed and the body formed, then that strong belief in sin and punishment and duality that is so ego-based evolved. I know that one of the points you make is that that’s what really becomes the major cause of us not being able to heal situations in our lives.

Is that accurate?

TN: Yes, that’s exactly right. See, we suffer

because we are actually hypnotized by our environment and everyone we have come in contact with since our birth. What happened is that we got lost in our own egoconsciousness by layering it with many, many belief patterns through lifetimes playing with energy in a dualistic configuration.

There is one thing that I have learned in my many years of getting unstuck, and that is my mind loved to interfere with my progress. It was always critical of me by saying that I’m crazy to even believe that I’m smart enough to run a business, or me talking with Jeshua or the angels, or me being equal to God. With the mind processing our thoughts in that way, it’s no wonder Soul continued on page 18 

 Soul continued from page 17 we misinterpret what we receive from our soul, because we push it aside as being nonsense.

We don’t own that we are part of that Sun that split into trillions of pieces.

TN: That’s right.

We don’t claim our Godliness.

TN: That’s correct. We have

been so locked into our ego personalities, or aspects as they are called, for many, many, lifetimes that we have lost sight of our true self. We have lost sight of our soul and our own divinity.

It’s like we started out with that consciousness, but lifetime after lifetime we layered on more and more ego identification, and so then we lost sight of it and became what we thought was just the ego identification.

TN: Exactly — and now we look

at ourselves as if we are just a mind and body. We don’t even look at our spirit. We say we have a spirit and a soul, but we don’t look at them as who we truly are. In truth, we’re not even made of energy. Our true self is only spirit and consciousness.

We have no form. We created a mental part of us so that we could create images of things, so we could learn to see who we are and identify our purpose.

How do we create those lifetimes of layered consciousness?

TN: We use the old way to

explain who we are, through the mind. Most of us look at God as an entity that is outside of us,

and we believe a book will come and save us some day. Of course, some day never comes, because the mind will always move toward the belief in a name higher than oneself. That’s why the mind has a tendency to ask questions like, “Who are you? Who do you think you are believing that you are equal to God?” The best way to understand God is that He is an icon and not real.

So God, as you report, is a force rather than an entity that is separate from us.

TN: Right. God is actually not

even a good name to use. It’s you that is the God. It is Self that is the God. Spirit is consciousness, what we usually call the Goddess. a Please go to Edgemagazine.net and read Part 2: Unlocking the Conscious of Your Soul. Listen at http://tinyurl.com/adpa2he.

Psychic Etiquette: a guide Evolutionary Pagan

by Briana Crusan

W

hether you are an experienced psychic or just discovering your powers, there are a few things to keep in mind when delving into the magickal realms.

First of all, know your boundaries. A boundary is an invisible line that delineates the space between you and others around you. This concept is incredibly important to maintaining your integrity. The only thing anyone can really control in life is what lies within his or her own boundary. When working with psychic abilities, at times it may seem as if we can control the world outside of ourselves. However, in reality we can only attract things to us that we resonate with.

But how do you know when you have crossed someone else’s boundaries or let someone cross yours? Here are a few examples: • You agree to something before you have thought it through.

You then feel resentful of that agreement and this affects your relationships.

• You consistently share personal details or opinions before establishing someone’s interest level.

• You speak more than you listen, constantly interrupt the conversation, or spend more time thinking about what to say next than absorbing what others are saying.

• You impose your view point on everyone without room for differences of opinion.

If you would like to improve your boundaries, simply learn to love “No.” Speaking the word “No” allows you to maintain your boundaries. Accepting “No” from others allows them to maintain theirs.

Secondly, while it may be tempting to have your sixth sense running constantly, it is important to learn how to turn your powers on and off. Your insight can make colors more vivid as you watch people’s auras, or your day more exciting as you listen to spirits. However, having your powers constantly “on” can be the equivalent of trying to sleep with your eyes open. It can be draining, distracting, confusing and even alienating. If you have trouble blocking things out once you become aware of them, find a mentor who can help you gain mastery over your powers.

The third point is to practice discernment. There are two parts to this rule. On one hand you need to know your audience. Are you really engaged in a social situation or are people around you avoiding eye contact? If people start squirming when you start talking, this could be a sign that you need to reassess the situation.

Then ask yourself: Is what I perceive intuition or could it be projection? We often see what we want to see and take it as

proof of being correct. Intuition is a subtle guide that helps you make better choices and act in accordance with your highest good.

Projection can be born out of fear, resentment, anger, assumption, insecurity or wishful thinking. If what you perceive makes you feel more important, encroaches upon someone else’s free will or boundaries, or hedges on paranoia, it could be projection.

Be aware that you don’t need to be psychic to read people or assess situations, so do not underestimate the power of observation.

The brain is wired to find patterns and meaning. Someone with good observational skills often will seem scarily psychic to others who are too busy to stop and look around them.

The last piece of advice is to always ask for permission. It’s one thing to notice the color of someone’s aura like you might notice someone’s shirt. It is an entirely different situation if you are scanning them etherically to gather information. This is especially important when dealing with children. Children do not always have the vocabulary to tell someone they are being intrusive. Scanning someone without their permission can be the equivalent of inappropriately touching them. It’s important to always remember to respect the boundaries of others.

Finally, delving into one’s intuition or psychic abilities can be incredibly exciting, validating and helpful for improving your selfesteem. But if using them comes at the expense of other people and their experience, you may end up traveling down a path that leads to more loneliness, isolation and misunderstanding.

Show respect for others, and in turn, they will show respect for you. a Briana Crusan is a “second generation pagan,” meaning she was raised with pagan beliefs.

Hyperdrive alert: Cosmic alarm clock soon will ring Star Wisdom - MARCH HOROSCOPE

by D.K. Brainard

relationship and demands that you act from your own integrity, not from your idea of what others expect of you.

ercury remains retrograde through the 17th, but the Sun’s entry into Aries on the 20th rings the cosmic alarm clock, as Mars, Venus, Uranus and Pluto team up to send life into hyperdrive.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)…Ancient wisdom tells us the past, present and future are all happening in the eternal now. This means your inner child is not just a figment of your imagination but a real being whose wounds — as long as they remain unhealed — dictate the experience available to you. March gives you a rare chance to connect with your child self and heal those wounds. Will you take it?

M

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)…To quote the Taoist master and Zen bowler, “the Dude”: Take it easy, man! Use the first part of the month to rest, relax and store up energy, because your life is going to become very kinetic as soon as the spring equinox hits. You’ll need to make an important relationship decision and opportunities for passionate action will suddenly abound.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)…Rather than fighting the flow, use this time to make new connections with like-minded people and strengthen existing ones. Especially at the end of the month, restrain yourself from forcing the action. If you push too hard, something could snap back and blow up on you. If you content yourself with small gains now, you’ll reap the big rewards when your birthday rolls around.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)…Opportunity is hovering around you, but it might feel just out of reach. This is not your fault, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t seem to take that next step this month. The atmosphere of indecision is pushing you to get really clear on what you want out of life. Hint: Your big goal should be beautiful enough you’d be willing to work an entire lifetime to realize it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)…It’s so important to trust your intuition. If your mind wanders back to “negative” events in the past, allow yourself to re-experience those challenges from your current point of view. Seeing where you are in the context of your life’s journey prepares you for the passionate, almost violent opportunities for growth and expansion that arrive with the spring equinox.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)…Money and relationship matters remain somewhat murky until Mercury returns to direct motion on the 17th. After that, it’s almost like you’ve stepped into a whole new life. Opportunities for expansion arrive with breathtaking suddenness, forcing you to make quick decisions with long-ranging impact. You must trust your inner guidance above all else.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)…Give yourself time to figure out the relationship thing. Your normal Spock-like computing style won’t work with Mercury retrograde and Neptune clouding up the picture. Instead, ask your Higher Self for guidance and then distract your rational mind with all the other things that need taking care of.

The right solution will find you when you stop looking for it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)…Remember that self-discipline means becoming a disciple of yourself. To do that, you have to trust your own inner guidance even when it conflicts with others’ advice or society’s wisdom. The explosive Libra Full Moon on the 27th highlights a key

20

edgemagazine.net

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)…The family patterns surfacing now could be overwhelming at times, but they also provide opportunity for intense self-realization. A creative explosion awaits you at the spring equinox; to take full advantage, you need to develop as much awareness as possible of the ways your family history pushes you to act against your own best interests.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)…Your imagination is both your biggest ally and your greatest temptation this month.

Rather than allowing your fantasy life to rule you, work to bring awareness to the emotional energy that underlies your waking dreams. Why do you feel compelled to keep playing mental movies that are unrealistic, self-defeating or undesirable? Understand that and you become a mastermind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)…It’s hard to manifest the resources you need when you keep telling yourself you don’t really need them. Instead of playing the disinterested wallflower in the game of life, watch your thoughts and notice where you cut yourself short before you can even get started. You’re such a powerful communicator these days. You might be shocked at what you could have if you’d just ask for it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)…You may feel all topsyturvy and lost in space, but you’re actually experiencing a psychological rebirth this month. Don’t try to think your way through this. Instead, keep asking what you really feel. What do you need — from life, from your relationships, from yourself? The only way to the freedom and abundance you desire is by acknowledging all of your feelings — especially the ones you feel guilty for having. a

Reclaim your sacred inheritance

H

by EFRéN FRANCISCO SOLANAS

ow can it be that I am still coming to terms with an exceptional performance by José James and his band on January 29 at The Cedar in Minneapolis? The event was, unequivocally, one of the best performances that I have ever attended. José and his band were truly inspired. They relished their playing, their interaction, tenderly present and joyously celebrating each one of the solos in the truest of jazz traditions.

Superbly generous, they included us in their creative moment, permitting us to share a show that will never, ever, be performed the same way again. I am trying to reconcile the dueling emotions of ecstasy from my contact with creative genius and the pain of separation. The band is on the road again, heading to Chicago, Japan, Australia and Europe — so I am reduced to comforting myself with CDs. I feel like a spurned lover.

The complex experience following a superb performance is not new. I can recall numerous live performances — jazz, dance, theatre — that have left me feeling ecstatic and abandoned in this same way. This feeling of loss is a mystery.

I believe that when an artist truly creates, she is entering into direct contact with pure Divine potential, and that energy manifests before us, the audience. We participate in an essential way simply by our witness. The immense energy of Source is tangible for an ephemeral instant, and then disappears, leaving this sense of loss. That moment of Divine contact with the Mystery is a glorious privilege, like the sensuous abandon of orgasm, but it lasts longer! Delicious.

There has been an energetic quickening on the planet since December 21, 2012. One result of that long-anticipated date is that a veil has dissolved, allowing each one of us to access an expanded form of Divine potential. This is a deeply creative period for many people, and we all are required to find new ways to navigate our lives. The possibilities are so vast that a person can become overwhelmed, confused, allowing excesses to drain our energy. Another option is to

Consider that wonderful metaphor of the world as mirror: If we look on “the outside” as just an image in a mirror, reflecting back to us something that exists inside, we know then that if we can perceive something in the world, we are that.

There is a Divine thread that allows an idea to leave Source and travel into our mind, flowing to the senses, out through the mouth, the hands and fingers. This is the gift of creative direction that we call intuition. As children, we are indoctrinated into the tyranny of mind. Throughout our educational systems, this primacy of mind is stressed over and over again, disconnecting us from our natural intuition. Blessed are the children who have parents and mentors who keep their creative flame alive, stoking it so that it burns brightly!

During the certification courses I lead, teaching the powerful healing modality Frequencies of Brilliance, a vital component to a practitioner’s effectiveness is her dedication to following her own guidance — her intuition — thus committing to a deep level of surrender to Divine Will.

I have witnessed many people glow with special joy as they reclaim their intuition, once again beginning to trust in their Divine direction. This intuition is part of our Divine inheritance. Each one of us can reclaim it. Intuition is simply waiting for our call, for us to open our hearts so that its gentle whisper can once again be heard. a Efrén francisco Solanas is a certified teacher and practitioner of The Frequencies of Brilliance, a powerful multidimensional healing modality. He was born in Southern California and currently makes his home in Minneapolis. He works in the USA, South America and Europe, teaching various certifications courses and, as time allows, attending clients in private session.
