EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT

At least that's what the sign said - shining from the Wang Sang building on East Pender in big, bright white lights - EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. Yes, it felt really good to have that shining down on us while wandering through the Sun Yat Sen Gardens as voyeurs of the life of Siddhartha (The Journey hOMe), the highlight of this year's Fringe Festival, on a balmy Friday night in September. Yes, very, very good indeed.

And we've all survived so far, despite dire predictions that 2012's "shift" is coming early...but, hey, you never know, and it is early days yet, it is it is.

Now, feedback from some is that they're exhausted by everything 2012 ~ its all over the Internet, showing up in theaters, it is every where ~ personally, I have run the gamut on this one, fer sure! I'm someone's mommy, for one thing, and you can't have all this chat about the "end of the world as we know it" and not have a few shivers about your kid and where she might be on some pivotal day, especially as she's living in France right now!

JEEpers.

And there's been a whole lotta chat around a video called "The Quickening" that we thought interesting, but ultimately silly ~ in its defense it should be noted that faith is the emphasis of at least the first half of this video and upon close scrutiny we don't think that the video was created to be exploitative; unfairly frightening at a time when that's really the last thing anyone needs. In the first half hour, this video emphasizes a global experience of unity consciousness; we are encouraged to look at predictions differently, to understand that through predictions we can expand our perspective of what could be, so

that we can be prepared with expanded imaginations...so that fear is not the predominant response to a "happening" of extra-ordinary proportions...which would then enable us to be more centered, having rehearsed the "unknown" and so then "be open to receive". An especially useful state of mind given that, if we are overcome with fear, we're more likely to block our potential to accept the highest for ourselves rather than embrace all that is and all that changes.

But the second half, when they get into alien invasions staged by the U.S. Government...I don't know...that is just a little bit far out there, even for me.

So what I do like is that "The Quickening" makes the point that prophecy is for telling us what we need to hear as a catalyst, and that prophecies can be changed, as they exist for the sole purpose of encouraging a shift in consciousness... and that once the Collective Mind has made that inner shift, the cataclysmic events that are no longer needed will give way, as the group mind's vibrations are raised to match those of a harmonious new experience of reality.

That's not so bad, is it? And if absolutely nothing happens, the exercise has left us with a more expanded, open mind. That's not so bad either, is it? Or perhaps, our more expanded open mind, in fact, has assisted in the facilitating of absolutely nothing happening ...hmm...I like that! Don't you?! Now I feel like a real participant in the Shift!

But heck, I did already anyway, as most who have read this far down the page do too.

So we think we may be out of the woods on some of the predictions since a few things were supposed to take place over the past week and clearly, we're all still here and the world is in one piece...so maybe everything IS going to be all right! Awesome. I really, really like that.

And so Life goes on...and we feel it is safe to peek out our door to see if you are interested in some of the things we and our community are up to, cause hey, we still need to raise our vibrations!

The Language of

S ilence

Science tells us that the universe started out with a bang! Over the past 13.7 billion years, this cosmic sound of creation has dissipated to the far reaches of the universe. Now, we can only hear this background sound with the most advanced instruments that science can offer.

On the other hand, with the advent of modern electronics, the ambient sound from radio, TV, telephone, and a myriads of other computerized gadgets has been on a steady increase: Canned sound, piped in music as in Muzak, “white-noise” in offices, boom boxes, ambulances blaring, engine noise on the streets and up in the sky, lawn mowers and weed cutters churning away around the neighborhood, and cell phones rings are ubiquitous.

It is no wonder people are getting out into the country side or into the forest for relief from the incessant cacophony of modern day life. When we have bad news or are stressed, we wish to be

We have all heard that“silence is golden”. Yes, silence heals. left alone for quietude.

Yet, even with the ambient noise died down, there is still the constant chattering of the mind. It may be easy to escape others, but it is nearly impossible to escape the self. What is one to do?

The answer may be the reason why meditation has become so prevalent in the west: to escape the din of everyday living. Not only does meditation relieve stress but it also open up a whole new inner world unknown heretofore. With the stillness of mind and breathe, the language of silence speaks. This is the source of insights and creativity.

Amazing technology has given us unprecedented power to gain knowledge via the internet and to allow us to connect with the rest of humanity with just a few key strokes. Unfortunately, knowledge does not translate to wisdom: We have overwhelming data but not enough meaningful knowledge. When we have enough knowledge, we don't have enough wisdom.

Knowledge is knowing what to do. Wisdom is knowing what NOT to do.

M

Moreover, The How’s does not answer to the Why’s; and letting a machine or someone else doing our work insulates us from our own innate ability and cognition using all our six senses. By doing so, we become disconnected to the natural environment. This separation between people and between our whole ecology is the cause of much of our suffering. In extreme cases, we even lose the spirit of life itself, as our environment become more and more artificial. The essence of this insight is beautifully captured in Pocahontas’ song, Colours of the Wind, and in the Avatar 3-D movie.

Silence itself and the Language of Silence as a tool for learning and understanding have a long history starting from the beginning of time, where existence came out of the Void/ Emptiness or the Quantum Foam as Particle scientists call it. The Buddha sat under the Bodi Tree silently for 49 days and found enlightenment. Jesus went into the desert for 40 days for silence and renewal. Nature grows in silence and speaks to us using the language of silence when we enter the forest if we only listen. Similarly, man-made art and sculptures speak to us in silence. Each of us has a different resonance. Sometimes, our silent body language speaks louder than words. Apathy tells of our care or lack thereof. A conspiracy of silence can hide the truth and deals a deadly blow.

Why do modern literature keep referring us back to ancient wisdom rather than the concentrating on modern marvels. Why is it still valid and important? Since the scientific enlightenment period, the artificial technology world has taken over from the natural world and we became one step removed from what Nature can offer us. We have forgotten the language of silence. Without the silence between the notes, we would not have music.

The older folks are lonely because no one would listen to them anymore. A silent smile or hug would speak volumes.

Fortunately, all is not lost A cosmic consciousness is descending on humanity and affecting the noosphere, our collective consciousness. There is a longing back to silence. Meditation and silent retreats have been on a steady increase. People are again reaching the depths of their inner selves as a way to deal with information overload and time acceleration. The frantic life is balanced by the equanimity provided by silence. Surprisingly for the young people, the silent texting is over taking the chattering on the phone.

The language of silence has not been totally lost to the mist of time like some ancient languages, but is being revived. Indeed, it is the tool of the present transformation that will herald a new age of unity consciousness because there is only one silence at the most fundamental level of reality.

Wheat fields to Star Gate

Ever heard of Remote Viewing or Project Star Gate? — Paul Elder hadn’t, at least not until a series of near death experiences opened a psychic doorway for him, and his life was forever changed.

From humble beginnings as a farm boy on the Canadian prairies, Paul has become something of an anomaly. Now he finds himself holding company with the world's best remote viewers, former Pentagon Directors and “Top Secret” military intelligence officers.

This story reads like fiction but is FACT!

Author of the acclaimed book, Eyes of an Angel, Paul Elder is a former CTV news reporter and mayor of a Canadian city. He is also a survivor of three near-death experiences — a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41.

Following his near-death encounters Elder’s life was further rocked by a series of spontaneous out-of-body experiences — experiences which would lead him to a life of psychic intrigue he could not even have imagined.

Due in part to his many extraordinary excursions while participating in consciousness exploration programs at the world famous Monroe Institute in Virginia, Elder was introduced to some mysterious people involved in paranormal research — some at high levels of security within the U.S. Government's ‘Top Secret’ military intelligence ‘psychic spying program’ known as Project “Star Gate.”

As a result of these connections, Elder began extensive training with several of the original Army Intelligence Remote Viewing Officers employed in the previously Top Secret unit.

In recognition of his abilities in remote viewing, Elder was recruited several years ago as a trainer at the Monroe Institute in Virginia where he teaches Remote Viewing classes with former army officer, Skip Atwater. Atwater, the Director of Research at the Institute, was formerly known as Captain Fred Atwater, none other than the original Recruiting and Operations Officer for Project Star Gate.

At the Institute, Elder also works with former decorated army officer, Joe McMoneagle, one of Star Gate’s longest serving officers. McMoneagle is purported to be one of the greatest remote viewers in the world. He is the author of several books including Star Gate Chronicles, Remote Viewing Secrets, and Mind Trek.

Remaining in awe of his famous peers, Elder confides that he is still amazed that such people even exist, much less contemplating that he actually knows and works with them.

Paul lives on Vancouver Island and spends his time writing, teaching, and speaking throughout the United States and Canada on the subject of Remote Viewing and the phenomenon of near-death and out-of-body experiences.

Awakening from the Dream

Fasten your metaphysical seat belts for the ride of your life!

We could be on the brink of what’s shaping up to be a global shift in consciousness.

An opportunity for a collective awakening experience could be more of a possibility now than at any other time in human history.

The evolution of mind to a new plateau of awareness may be not only the most important experience we can have in life, but also a very necessary part of our present evolutionary process as a human species.

Why all the hype and excitement about awakening all of a sudden?

Technological breakthroughs in Quantum Physics combined with an onslaught of predictions from an extraordinary variety of sources and ancient Wisdom Cultures have everyone buzzing in the anticipation of 2012. Simultaneously, we are at a critical point in sustaining our current consumption of Mother Earth’s resources and maintaining the status quo of outdated financial and political institutions.

The human race is the result of a few billion years of evolutionary right choices. It boggles the mind to contemplate the evolutionary miracle it took for life to appear on this planet. Statistical science says that the odds of life being created here would be like an explosion in an ink factory writing the Bible.

There has never been a more opportune time for us than now to personally tune into and connect with the Universal Intelligence of Creative Power that could have been behind this miracle of creation.

Unfortunately, or right on cue, mankind has dropped deeply into the five sense dimension of consciousness and we have lost touch with our spirit nature and our innate inner wisdom. We have lost touch with the cycles of Life and the deeper reality of our true inner nature as Universally Conscious Beings.

(1910–1912, Odilon Redon) , Author AgnosticPreachersKid/ CC 3.0

Enter the ancient and absolute science of metaphysics...the goal of metaphysics is the selfrealization of the Infinite Reality of Mind, and the innate power of our universal mind connection available to us through our sixth sense. Ancient teachings of six sense realities are emerging again just in time for the impossible extraordinary realm of possibility to be tapped into and not a moment too soon. We are quickly realizing that we are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually the actual and ultimate technology for change.

Sixth sense is an attribute of our metaphysical past that we lost touch with as we sank deeper and deeper into the material reality of a fivesense dimensional realm of consciousness. We have become fossilized into a self-imposed mental limitation of linear time/space reality. We have the innate inner resources, knowledge and understanding for birth into a new unified state of Universal Consciousness.

We now know we are not only more than physical matter but also possess the opportunities to perceive beyond it as science is now beginning to find out everything is energy and we are an actuality a bio electromagnetic field of energy in a time space reality.

Through meditation, ancient metaphysical practices activate the Third Eye Chakra; what metaphysicians refer to as the Second Sight, required to see into the mind itself. It’s the innate ability we all possess to see into the inner region of mind to the realm of the inner senses or sixth sense reality. It is there that the new identity structure of I-Am consciousness can be found.

It is here that a new reference point of awareness, a new focal point of consciousness outside of the time/space reality of 5-sense, 3-dimenational reality is attained. It is here that the world within a world opens up to our sixth sense reality and a new realm of possibility opens up to us. From here we have a whole new vantage point from which to interact with life, each other, and our world.

It is here that the subtle energy body can be experienced and the dreamer of the dream realized. The subtle energy body gives us a new vista of reality and possibilities. It is here that we can tap into latent power innately present in our deeper conscious reality. This energy can be a powerful catalyst for a new aware, awake experience of life filled with solutions for the most complex of problems. It is here also that the potential of the subtle energy body for accessing other dimensions of consciousness and parallel dimensions, extra sensory perception, intuition, collective unconscious and even direct experience of Universal Conscious becomes a reality.

Mystics of the ages have all had access to this incredible technology and a deep understanding of its invisible laws which enabled them to commune with all things and access all knowledge in a Universal Realm of Consciousness. And now this same spiritual collective consciousness for a new Golden Age of opportunity is available to all of us. You are the one you have been waiting for!

Jeffrey Armstrong I am a poet,

I am a warrior

Rules do not apply

Encouraging a truce,

On this planet,

And what is more,

Unless they help you fly.

I offer no excuse.

I am a prophet,

I am a madman

A slave to what I see,

Shouting at the sky,

They will not let

Without a plan

Me live life normally.

But always wondering why.

I am a seer,

I am a human

Whose soul has left the Earth,

And all that it implies,

My vision is clear,

So very few can

Concerning death and birth.

Look me in the eyes.

I am a singer

I am a stranger,

Who wakes up in a song,

In towns where no one thinks,

A message bringer,

A subtle danger,

Just wandering along.

Descended from the sphinx.

I am a salesman

I am a leader

With nothing left to sell,

Running in a race,

A funny talesman,

A sower and a seeder,

With truth to tell.

Keeping up the pace.

I am a lover,

I am a fire

With lovers everywhere,

Burning in the night,

I can discover

Who can get higher

A million ways to share.

But still am right.

I am a dancer With clouds beneath my toes, Who can discover, What everybody knows.

I am a speaker Sent from other lands, A riddle seeker, Talking with my hands.

I am an omen, A taste of things to come, The king of showmen, Only heard by some, I am a Poet, Who has no choice, The words appear yet, It’s not my voice!

Listen To Your Body Talk Your body communicates with you all the time. It is engaged in an interactive relationship with the outer and inner worlds and records your entire life experience. Your body speaks with more than just thoughts and feelings: every ache and pain, itch and tingle, communicates essential information. In our culture, however, we are not very well versed at understanding these messages - it’s as if we don’t speak the same language as our body. As such, we might go on experiencing physical symptoms and all kinds of stress without getting the message it is attempting to convey.

Stress is one of the ways our body communicates. When we don’t get the message through thought or emotion, it can show up physically,

Most stress comes from feeling a lack of choice. Lack of even if the root itself might is be physical.

choice is a perception based on limited definitions – usually about the inability to do something with the resources available (or lack thereof), and fear connected with the consequences. Such definitions themselves are almost inevitably the result of life experience. Even if we aim to change the definitions in our conscious belief system, subconscious and body level blockages can reinforce old behavioural patterns and prevent us from fully responding in present time. How many of us have attended workshops, done journaling, beaten up pillows, or sat on the psychiatrist’s couch rehashing old events, but have yet to make the changes that we desire? This is because our belief system exists on several layers, all of which the ingenious healing system created by Three-In-One Concepts takes into account.

“...an idea or belief system is every bit as real as a physical object�.

Stress is one of the ways our body communicates.

v

Three-In-One Concepts treatments can release the emotional stress associated with an activity or situation.

The brain operates by categorizing, and it records all of the different data that were present when a formative stressful event took place. Any one factor could, in present time, bring back the negative emotion of that occasion, even if the incident itself is no longer consciously remembered (does the name Pavlov ring a bell?). While consciously verbalizing our problems can help us come to some realizations, it is also possible that we will not be able to locate the causal factor, but simply reiterate other instances of a similar nature.

Accessing the Body’s Wisdom By using biofeedback from the body in the form of muscle testing, one is able to access what the client’s

Just as a terrible shock will cause a person to go weak at the knees, so too does any level of emotional stress electrically register with the body. A Three-In-One whole brain - not just the right or left brain - remembers.

Concepts facilitator tests a small muscle in the arms by applying gentle pressure - the body responds through the arms, with the muscle either holding or releasing. Talking to the body while doing muscle testing allows us to pinpoint specific details through simple yes/no responses, and by asking the right sequence of questions we can even discover how old we were when the stressful event took place and how many people were involved, and who they were. Once these details are brought to light, the conscious mind can be engaged to recognize the patterns of behaviour or negative expectation that were created as a result of this experience.

Some might argue that ideas cannot be powerful enough to create our experiences. I would propose that

an idea or belief system concept is every bit as real as a physical object. If a fear of doing something prevents you from actually taking action, it is affecting your mobility and freedom in the physical world in the same way that a physical obstacle would. It will keep you in your seat the same way a seat belt does. It is all the more frustrating when these blockages are so far in the past that we are unable to remember them. Until they are cleared, we might be like flies banging our heads against a window and not being sure why we can’t break through to what we can see in front of us. A more expansive view allows us to see where the door is and how to get out.

Insights One client of mine found that she was having challenges with her business. Muscle testing indicated that the source of stress occurred at age 8, as well as the fact that it involved both parents. She recalled having been abducted by a stranger when she went to the store; her parents were arguing over the fact that she was too young to go out by herself. These words had evidently stuck in her belief system, making her – unconsciously, in her adult years – feel that she was not able to do things on her own despite her own faith in her abilities. She made huge strides in her business within days of her session.

Another client was feeling far too focused on finding a partner. The session took us back to age 3. She recalled that she had burned her hand at that age. There were two people identified, one male and one female. She immediately knew what muscle-testing confirmed - that the man was the doctor, who was much kinder than her mother and who “took the pain away.” She recognized that she was always looking for a man to take the pain away from her life, and that in turn she was attracting men who required HER to take THEIR pain away. With this insight, she could feel less desperate to find a man to solve her problems, and she dealt with both organizing her life and finding a partner with a clearer mind.

The point here is that while we might not consciously remember an event, it might still be impacting us and having an effect on our body’s experience. Of course one doesn’t need muscle testing to be able to

The problem is that we usually shut down our ability to get information by saying things like ‘I don’t know why..’ or ‘I wish I didn’t...’ instead of being more openly inquisitive - questions like ‘I’m really interested in knowing how/why...’ demonstrate a receptivity and access such information, but it can accelerate the journey and take away a lot of the guesswork.

willingness to learn what has been hidden so that we can tune in to the messages held in our body’s memory. More consciously opening up one’s willingness to receive such information by asking making such statements, even in silence to oneself, can convince one’s body-mind system to communicate in a language we can more readily access.

An exercise There is a simple exercise you can try right now to communicate more consciously with your body. If there is an area that historically (or currently) is causing pain or discomfort - a knee, your back, your head - place one hand on it while you have the other hand across your forehead. Imagine if the pain had a colour - what would that be? And if it had a smell? A texture? What temperature would it be? Would it have a sound? A taste? Then, if you could choose to change the colour to one you like, what would that colour be? How about the smell, texture, temperature, sound, taste? Visualize and sense the colour and all those other sense descriptors changing while you keep one hand in contact with the area and the other across your forehead. Once you have finished, take a deep breath and release your hands, and if your eyes were closed, gently link them open. By engaging with the pain or troubled area by asking the colour, smell, and other senses, one is demonstrating a willingness to engage in conversation with what is already present in the body.

By making a choice to change the colour, smell, texture and so on, one is making a choice about what one would like to feel and creating an interactive process with the body. So often with aches and pains we resist what is there rather than listening to what is there and making a choice about it. This exercise gives us a more conscious, workable way to be with discomfort that can shift one’s experience of the symptoms.

Challenges are inevitable; suffering is optional. Give yourself a choice!

Engage consciously with your body and do what you can to listen to its messages and communicate with it. If you need assistance, a Three-In-One Concepts facilitator or someone trained in another modality can help you discover what it is that is holding you back, and bid it a fond farewell. You can start the process on your own by asking your body ‘what are you trying to tell me’ and then by taking the time to listen. Be willing to physically and gently touch any affected areas - a gentle and caring physical ‘hello’ can go a long way.

Enjoy your body and its innate brilliance!

German New Medicine, the work of D.r Hamer, focuses on identifying and resolving the original shock.

Our bodies react to events and emotional shocks in various ways; tumor growths (cancer), tissue degeneration, or functional loss. Understanding this is the work of Dr. Hamer he has confirmed this discovery with over 40,000 case studies.

Your Signature is Everywhere If you want to hide something, they say put it in plain view. Cultures around the world have found insights and various ways in which to analyze SELF first hand.

Look no

further then your personal universe. This reveals that every cell in our body has memory of the whole.

We are fractal in nature.

Excerpt for the book “InsideOut�, by Karen Elkins

When we think of the notion of fractals or a holographic universe, every part reveals the whole.

You have just entered a space where we co-create and allow the creative process to reveal its wisdom.

I would like to invite you, metaphorically speaking, on a journey into my studio to learn about art therapy.

To create a calm, quiet, and peaceful space to begin the work, please take a few deep breaths and let go of the many thoughts running through your mind. This will help you to be more present. The room is filled with a variety of simple art materials such as paints, pastels, crayons, felts and clay.

Also available are sparkles, sequins, jewels, shells, recycled materials, tiles and feathers. One of the greatest aspects of art therapy is that it is a suitable healing modality for everyone. You don't need to have experience with art materials to benefit because there's no right or wrong way to approach the creative process! It starts with an invitation to use materials that appeal to you, or that you are drawn to, and then to spontaneously create. My role as an art therapist is to hold a safe space and encourage you to express and explore feelings and concerns through the art making. When you enter into this way of exploring, the focus is on the process...not on the product.

What exactly is art therapy?

Well, it's a way of using art as a tool for healing. It is a way of taking what's inside of you and putting it outside of you. It allows what's within you to come out and be seen in a different way - therefore clearing space inside you for new information. Through the medium of art people can often communicate more clearly than with words. When entering into the creative process the intellect is bypassed and you go straight to another place...a place I like to call inner knowing or heart wisdom. The access of this inner knowledge emerges in the art. The art helps open avenues of communication which allows an individual to identify feelings and emotional blocks. As we engage with the creative process we realize we are able to solve what we thought was unsolvable. Built into this process is an innate ability to enrich ones life by deepening self-knowing, selfesteem, and self-respect. When I hear people say that they can't draw or they aren't creative I explain that as human beings we bring our creative energy to all we do personally and professionally whether we realize it or not! Everyone is creative but we have learned to identify creativity with being an artist and not as something each of us utilizes naturally on a regular basis.

Art therapy empowers individuals to discover what lies beneath their feelings and gives them a medium to experiment with new ways of being. For instance, let's say I am working with someone who feels they can't do anything right.

During their art making when they get stuck and negative messages and beliefs start to surface, I support them to find creative ways to work through these challenges. It's helpful to remind the person to be gentle with themselves and to remember that it's all a process. The result is that a person not only talks about a solution to their challenges but they have the added experience of moving through issues creatively.

This allows individuals more room for flexible thinking which then translates into every day life.

Since art therapy is

a visual language, it is a natural and nonthreatening way for children, teens and adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds to express and explore their inner worlds. By working creatively with children, it frees them to be who they are and not be trapped in the idea of how they have been defined. When children are accepted for who they TRULY are, something happens. They realize they are safe to express themselves and don't have to conform or fit into a box, therefore allowing their true nature to emerge.

children develop a trust in their inner knowing and are able to practice accessing this wisdom as they engage in creating art. The end result is a new piece of artwork which facilitates a conversation to unfold, revealing more self-understanding.

There is a window of opportunity to see beyond a child's personal challenges and move into the freedom that comes from being less restricted.

The benefit of a non-judgmental space encourages children to approach the process of making art, dialoguing with the images, and understanding what their expressions may be c o m m u n i c a t i n g i n a m e a n i n g f u l w a y.

Once, when I invited a child to put their overwhelming feelings in the art, they painted a black hole then splatted stars around it with great force. The expression of splattering paint served to release some of the energy weighing the child down. This in turn opened up a discussion around how to help lift the heavy feelings and was followed by the another piece of art consisting of only splatted paint. At times, the images and art making can act to highlight the resources available to the child. Another example of how to help children work through

A D V E N T U R E

orbs

Is Vancouver haunted?

Strolling through the darkened graveyard, I wondered if any of the skeletal remains would rise up through the perfectly manicured lawn and grab me by the ankles, pulling me down into the earth, willing me to join them in the moist, worm-laden resting place they called home. ...apparently not.

Considered to be one of the most haunted graveyards in Vancouver, I found myself lollygagging about, with camera in hand, hoping to capture a glimpse of a dearly departed.

Any dearly departed would do.

It was my turn now. Â After all, turnabout is fair play. I was on the hunt and I would not be denied.

So where were they - besides 6 feet under?

First Impressions...

When I was a little girl, things would go bump in the night.

My parents would wake up to the sound of me screaming as if I was being murdered in my bed. They had no idea what haunted me at night.

Then again, neither did I. I remember nothing of this.

The story they tell me is that my terror-filled nights vanished a few years later with the introduction of a new bed. The old bed, incidentally, was found in my grandparents home. It had been discarded, left behind by the previous occupants...one of which had died in the house, possibly in that very bed.

They say the screaming started and ended with that bed in my life.

Another town, another home...

The woman died a few years earlier in the house I called home.

This little factoid escaped my attention until after we moved out. Strange things happened and I wasn’t the only one who made this observation. It was a little difficult to avoid noticing the ball circling about on the flat surface of the kitchen floor. Just one of many things which occurred in our home. And, after a period of time, it became normal...sort of like having another family member around.

But, there was one thing that disturbed me - the bathroom incident.

In the wee hours of the night, I sat alone on the toilet minding my own business when, without even a knock, the bathroom door unlocked itself and moved all the way to the wall while everyone else was sleeping.

Can’t a person have any privacy?

And unfortunately, it wasn’t my boyfriend doing the grabbing.

He was extremely busy at that moment...snoring beside me. I lashed out at the hands, kicking fast and furious, until they went away. Seconds later, my closet door slammed open, violently crashing into the wall, startling my boyfriend awake.

There are those who don't handle rejection very well.

Moving on...

It was the spoon that flew off the counter into the middle the kitchen floor that disturbed my friend the most. When I walked back into the dining room, his eyes were bulging out, as wide as saucers, as he stared down at the chilicovered spoon that somehow managed to fly 3 feet off the countertop into the centre of the kitchen floor. I think he was beginning to have second thoughts about coming over for a bowl of chili.

That sort of stuff didn’t really faze me much.

Another place, another face...

I woke up to discover a stranger’s face staring back at me, mere inches away.

I screamed as loud as I could, pushing the intruder off me. Jumping up onto my feet on the bed, I looked down at the ground for the man who was somewhere under my blankets on the floor. Adrenaline pulsing through my body, my reaction was to pounce and attack the person who dared to break into my home.

When in a flight or fight scenario, I’ve discovered I’m the fighting type.

Poised for the kill, I looked around only to discover he was no longer there, disappearing somewhat abruptly into thin air. Then it happened again 6 months later, but this time with a different disappearing person. At least this time the fighter in me got a swing in.

Get your hands off me...

I woke up to a set of hands grabbing my ankles, crawling up my shins, working their way up my legs.

It was probably because I was living in a crack house.

Former crack house, that is. It was a heritage home that had been gutted and restored back to it’s former glory. Almost a century old, those walls could talk.

And they sometimes did.

Right to my face.

Thoughts...

These personal stories are just a random handful of anomalous events in my life that make me sound absolutely demented.

I guess the question to ask is this: Were these nothing more than a figment of an overactive imagination or have I been hallucinating all my life? Or was it possible these incidents were altogether something else?

Maybe, maybe not.

Who can really say what the answer is without some sort of hard facts? I wanted to think that I wasn’t entirely crazy, so I made the decision to seek out the answers to my questions.

Ghost Hunting...

It only stood to reason that the best place to find answers would be to talk directly to those in the field of paranormal research - and who better than the Vancouver Paranormal Society?

I was THRILLED to discover they offered a course in Ghost Hunting. Not only that, but I was offered an opportunity to join the society and actually go out on fullfledged ghost hunts!

What I discovered right away is that ghost hunters walk along a double-edged sword. On one hand, they set out to prove the existence of paranormal activity...but on the flip side, they do everything in their capacity to prove that whatever is going on in someone's home stems from anything other than paranormal activity.

They are both believer and skeptic...all wrapped up in one.

Needless to say, I learned all sorts of interesting factoids...things like I’m not the only one who's experienced unusual encounters. That, and it happens more often than you think. Not that anyone ever talks about it or admits to it...without sounding a little crazy.

Another thing I learned about ghost hunting is that one MUST be patient in order to capture electric voice phenomena (EVP) or get anything on camera or video. After all, the real ghost hunting is hardly anything like the television shows in United States like 'Ghost Hunters' or 'Paranormal State'...or even the British program ‘Most Haunted’...television shows where everything happens and is solved within 60 minutes or less.

If it was only that simple.

Nope. It is filled with LONG hours and sporadic visits with absolutely no guarantees that anything will happen at all.

Maxine's Hideaway...

The legends that surround Maxine's Beauty and Boarding School for Girls are infamous.

Secret hidden tunnels, rum-runners and prostitution. Tales of gangsters and fugitives from the law seeking refuge and getting caught.

Rumours of Errol Flynn dying in the arms of a 14 year old girl. Not to mention the murder of Madame Maxine McGilvary on the premises of her own establishment.

Sightings of ghostly apparitions became quite common with the staff. In fact, not only had the ghostly apparition of Maxine been seen, but also the figure of a man holding a knife. If only those walls could have talked...especially before the City of Vancouver destroyed the beautiful heritage site so they could build yet another lame apartment building.

Even though most of the ghostly appearances were seen in the lower levels of the building, Vancouver Paranormal examined every square inch of the 100 year old building. Breaking off into teams, we spread out and began to photograph some of the different areas, hoping to document something on film that would not be seen with the naked eye.

Monitors were set up, people situated at different stations. At one point in time in the evening, Jon Kelly (Your Inner Voice) set up a camera and recorder for the EVP (electronic voice phenomena) session in a darkened area of the basement, hoping to record any voices that the normal human ear cannot pick up.

And as luck would have it, a voice was picked up.

What are we really afraid of?

One thing that surprises me is the vehemence with which people react at the mere mention ofghosts.

I have one friend in particular who accidentally hangs up the phone if I ever dare mention the 'G' word. And stranger yet, she’s not the only one who gets freaked out about this sort of stuff.

It makes me begin to wonder if this fear response has been ingrained into our psyches.

Or is it simply just a question of mortality?

I am curious if these fears are more common with people who feel they haven’t started living yet...

Science limits us...

At least right now.

I’m all about the science, but there comes a point in time where I realize that science is not some sort of omniscient God that has the final say on any one given thing.

In fact, I do believe science limits us.

Science can only take us as far as it has gone...and I think we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. After all, new discoveries are being made every single day because of curious scientists who look for the answers to questions that evade them.

But then, I wonder how many scientists choose not to explore things with a paranormal twist because of the possibility that if they pursue this line of study, there is a good probability they will face ridicule by their peers?

Nikola Tesla This is seen time and time again throughout history. Geniuses ridiculed and then later vindicated. What geniuses am I talking about? Tesla and Pasteur to name a few. It just goes to prove that things which seem like pseudoscience today can easily be considered science tomorrow. In fact, it is astonishing to discover how many things exist today that we consider commonplace but were once ridiculed when first discovered. It is the close-minded, the naysayers, who ridicule that which they do not want to understand.

Even though most evidence for supernatural phenomenon is anecdotal (as testing cannot be conducted under controlled conditions), there has been some scientific research done to date.

In BrainFrontiers, a blog about alternative views and topics in neuroscience, Dr. Nina Di Pietro discusses in her article “They see dead people” an unusual form of dementia where a person claims to see dead people - even with evidence to support otherwise. Fascinating...but not quite applicable to me for at least several more decades.

And you know that feeling you get when you are all alone and you feel like you are being watched by something that isn't there? Well, according to Nina in her article “Me and my Shadow”, many neuroscientists state that 'faulty electrical wiring' in the brain can give you the feeling you are being watched by spirits or things that are not there. This is totally possible.

It is people like Dr. Nina Di Pietro who are courageous enough to introduce us to whole new worlds of perception.

Afterthoughts So why are certain people more prone to these experiences..and other are not? I don't believe for a second that I'm 'off-my-rocker'...and my friends who have had their own experiences are some of the most brilliant minds this world has seen. So what is going on here? Does it come down to the person...or the place where we currently reside? In my search for finding answers, I discovered a few interesting things.

•

I'm not the only so-called 'demented' person out there - A LOT of other people have had similar experiences to mine.

•

Things do go bump in the night...and sometimes in the daytime, too.

•

Most unusual occurrences can easily be explained away with science or logic or deductive reasoning.

The things we cannot rationally explain, we try to ignore or assume our imaginations are getting the better of us. But if this paranormal phenomenon is real, and I believe it is, then it poses some fundamental questions about the world we live in.

C o m m u n i cat i ng NewEnergy Paradigm While bicycling in London, England, an enthusiastic researcher tried to explain New Energy to a young woman who is a reclaim-the-streets crusader.

She was weeding the community garden when Jason started a conversation about the need to reclaim stewardship of the “commons”—such as the common air breathed by all life forms on Earth. She was passionate about cleaning up pollution in the atmosphere.

Jason asked if she had heard about “free energy” inventions.

At that point she began to edge away. “My father’s an engineer and he always says ‘There’s no free lunch’.”

Jason quickly added, “Well, ‘free’ isn’t the best word because the devices themselves won’t be given away. But the source of power for radical energy inventions is free, just like sunlight and wind. There’s a whole variety of revolutionary alternatives most people haven’t heard about. . . ” She stopped edging away. “My friends drive a Veggie Car; they fill up the tank with used vegetable oil . . . ” “That’s better than gasoline . . . ” Jason said lamely.

“Or are you talking about hydrogen fuel cells?” she asked.

About the Greasercar

Water Fuel Cell

“No, not the ‘Hydrogen Era’ as plotted by corporate dudes. Their plan includes thousands of nuke-power plants to make electricity to electrolyze hydrogen out from water. Nuke plants meaning more radioactive junk on this planet. Or else they get hydrogen out of fossil fuels. That’s not the answer. The New Energy version on the other hand is innovative ‘advanced hydrogen’ systems.”

“Such as . . . ?”

“Basically, getting hydrogen from water at point-of-use, as in a car.

One version is called the Water Fuel Cell. Or there’s Dr. Randell Mills’ chemical process of releasing the latent energy of the hydrogen atom. . . .”

“I hate technology!”

After her outburst another man would have changed the subject, but not Jason. To connect with her honestly, he’d have to bridge between their world-views. “You don’t like the result of technologies, I guess. Such as polluting the atmosphere?” “…Seems like everything we do heats up our poor planet.”

“We don’t have to. Some types of outside-the-box energy systems actually cool their surroundings while they put out more power than the measured input!”

“Tell that to my dad.”

At that point Jason was the one who wanted to end the conversation.

Then he heard the young woman say softly, “Maybe there are ways to give us plenty of clean cheap power without depleting anything. But everything powerful gets turned into weapons for killing people.”

“That’s the way it’s been so far,” he agreed. “And if we close our eyes and ignore all the good new energy inventions popping up around the world, the weapon-makers keep on taking control. They’ll continue to buy inventors’ cooperation, grab patent rights and continue to claim that a revolutionary advancement is a ‘disruptive technology’—meaning a threat to oil-company profits—and therefore a matter of so-called ‘national security’.”

Speaking slowly for emphasis he added, “We’re coming up to a big change in thinking in science, but the people don’t get told about it. The change will be toward working in harmony with nature -- understanding how a hidden background energy spirals through the universe and in everything on Earth and how to tap into that abundant energy.”

“At the same time, citizens’ groups are forming all over the planet and trying to figure out how to create a more enlightened civilization.

What if they added a powerful new energy breakthrough or two, to their collection of tools for change? What if the people got involved in deciding what energy technology their government will support . . .?”

I get it!” she said. “You want to reclaim science!”

She had nearly understood his message, but not quite. New Energy advocates

respect academic learning and admire those who truly use the

scientific

method. Jason doesn’t aspire to storm ivy-covered academic

institutions and “reclaim science”.

Instead Jason was telling her that citizens have a right to influence decisions which profoundly affect everyone’s life—such as the choice of predominant energy technologies.

Ordinary people could pay attention to whether the technologies are harmful and chosen for easy profiteering, or if on the other hand they are in harmony with nature and chosen for the good of everyone.

Can small acts of Kindness change the world?

According to the organizers of the 2011 World Kindness Concert, yes they can.

When Brock Tully envisioned the World Kindness Concert more than a decade ago, he imagined people coming together, with open hearts and a passion to change the way we live and celebrate the human journey. Eleven years later the annual World Kindness Concert continues to grow and has become the catalyst for thousands of people seeking to bring about the change required to create a kinder, more compassionate planet.

After a cycling expedition across North America, which Tully refers to as “The journey back to his heart,” Tully was inspired to commit himself to Kindness. “I was concerned with how disconnected and violent society had become,” said Tully. “The vision for the World Kindness Concert was to raise awareness and to inspire the active practice of Kindness. According to Tully, society at large underestimates the power of a kind act. “Single acts of kindness, a smile, a compliment or offering a helping hand to a neighbour, all have the potential to grow roots and blossom into something spectacular. It is so easy and simple to be kind,” added Tully. “You don’t need money; you only need an open heart or a desire to open your heart. Both the musicians and the audience tell us that they feel their energy rise to a joyful and peaceful state during this event. It is wonderful. “ According to modern research the positive effects of Kindness on the immune system, the mind and on the production of serotonin, which is known to regulate our mood, appetite, sleep and supports cognitive functions, have been proven. So, from this perspective, being kind is a healthy choice.

Jonas Falle, Concert Producer, and CEO with Vancouver based Moon Coin Productions, sings the praises of Tully and has been involved with the concert since 2006.

“Brock is incredibly

inspirational. The World Kindness Concert is one of the most important events that our company supports,” said Falle. “The opportunity to be involved with an event that will bring light into the world and create positive vibrations around the planet is very gratifying.”

“This is more than a Concert,” adds Falle, “it is a global movement towards finding solutions that will eliminate violence and create a kinder, safer world. When people attend the Concert

we hope they are

inspired and motivated to look beyond themselves and connect with like minded and like hearted individuals and develop solutions to creating caring, compassionate communities.”

people attend the Concert we hope they are inspired and motivated to look beyond themselves and connect with like minded and like hearted individuals and develop solutions to creating caring, compassionate communities.”

According to Falle, “People want to make a difference; they just don’t know where to start. So, during the concert we will provide suggestions and put out calls-to-action to help people start becoming the change they seek.”

It was Mahatma Ghandi that said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” If you seek a peaceful, kinder coexistence for yourselves and all of humanity, the remedy is simple, be kind, be peaceful and open your heart.

The World Kindness Concert promises to Open Your Heart.

The 2011 World Kindness Concert takes place November, 4, 2011, at the Centre for Performing Arts, in Vancouver, BC - Canada. For tickets go to: www.checkoutmytickets.com For more information go to: www.worldkindnessconcert.com (Photo credit: Robert Darwoon) Written by Toni O’Keeffe

by Martin Shaw Since 1970, Banyen Books &

Martin Shaw's writing rattles the cages of souls.

In A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Shaw creates links between the wildness in landscape and language, with myth being the bridge between the two. Shaw uses four great myths from Welsh, Norwegian, Siberian, and Russian territories that explore the process of leaving what is considered safe and predictable and journeying out into wild, uncertain areas of nature and the psyche. Shaw's work focuses on both men and women’s movement into wildness as part of the bigger awareness of climate change and ecology. It presents the old stories as keys into any debate on these issues, showing how the ability to think metaphorically and mythologically "re-enchants" our perspectives.

Sound has grown to become an abundant oasis – one of the most comprehensive selections in North America focusing on Spiritual Traditions, Healing Arts, and Earth Wisdom.

Are you ready to open your heart? What you need to do: Fast on your thoughts 24 hours before surgery, bring your "I care card", bring some tissues (things could get messy with this surgery), bring an open mind and a willingness to love.

everything is interlinked, conscious and purposeful.

Follow the story of an ordained Catholic Priest, destined by family prophecy to be the first American Pope. The author reveals his disillusionment over the Popeʼs betrayal of scientific insight into the Bible. Shattered by his discovery of the dishonesty of his church, John Shields takes us through the torment of leaving the priesthood and the church. With courage and self-compassion, John relates his arduous struggle to make the shift from religion to spirituality.

Shields enters life as a Layman at the age of 31 with $30 in his pocket, but quickly adapts to his new life and becomes a leader of the Canadian labour movement. During the most intense crisis of his career, he uncovered an inner mythology operating in his subconscious, which intensified his search for spirituality and higher consciousness.

As he examines his own life, John tells how the findings of science convinced him that spirituality is rooted in the universe. He shows us a sentient cosmos where everything is interlinked, conscious and purposeful. Inspired by the science that confirms the foundation of his present spirituality, Shields leads the reader to welcome the union between science and spirit.

To share the beauty of life, of Africa. To connect with people at a deeper level. For me, beauty is not technical excellence.

Technical excellence can impress, but it does not move the heart the same way.

Inspiration does. Spontaneity does. Beauty does. Love does. We are here because of the love we all share for the rich culture of Africa. For me, Africa is not a geographic location. It's in me. I carry it with me anywhere I go, and I share it with people who are longing for the experience that Africa can bring. I invite you to open your heart and feel Africa..."
