The first Ascension First Aid thread was remarkably useful to myself and countless others. With it, we all managed to endure a process none of us knew everything about, but all of us knew SOMETHING about. That phase of ascension has come and gone, and many of us were left with higher abilities and insights. A new phase of Ascension, along with stronger energy influences, is upon us now. For myself, diet has become a serious issue. For others, dealing with the symptoms this phase is handing out is a need we can all relate to, and perhaps offer suggestions. AngelPsychic444 provided us with this wonderful link which easily explains much of the sun's influences. A/P444, I am so grateful for this link. How Recent Solar Flares Are Affecting Us I am sad that Laks can't join us...yet. She was one of the most instrumental contributors of the previous thread, and her medical/nutritional tips were right on target, for me. I pray her life-disruptions resolve soon. Older ascendants, such as myself, are having a rough time of it, but by the same token, what we learned from the previous go-rounds has helped us understand the processes of clearing old dysfunctional energies, and to patiently endure the energy shifts. There's a LOT going on, right now. Buck up and hang in there. You're among many friends. As Laks says in a recent e-mail: Quote:

Diet issues have come to the forefront. I can no longer turn my head and pretend I just don't see: I know hot dogs are skin, lips. rectums and scrotums, saturated with sodium nitrate. In being honest to myself, I just can't eat them, anymore. Pork is genetically the closest in structure to human flesh. In fact, some pork parts are used in reconstructive surgery. It is the most difficult meat for humans to digest. And pigs are extremely intelligent animals. Strike bacon, sausage and pork-by-product-food-substances (Scrapple) from the list. I love pastries and sweets. The grease, processed sugar and bleached flour have already taken their toll on our health. (I've actually renounced donuts. It's obviously a cold day in hell.) Not only that, but with the changes our bodies have gone through, these ingredients don't sit well with us, anymore. Our digestive systems have changed, geared for a different fuel. These heavy, hard-to-digest foods not only are hard to digest, we are not retrieving nutrients from them. Pure fruit and vegetable juices are the best stand-bys for now. Even the produce section of the supermarket doesn't appeal. WE KNOW the chemicals used to raise those corporate crops, and we know about banana-gas-preservatives, produce picked while still green, and periodic recalls of diseased vegetables. It's time to get a garden going. In trying to avoid dairy products, I switched to Silk...soy milk. Now the horror stories are coming forth about soy.

As ascension continues forward, our spiritual attitudes will be challenged more and more. How serious we really are about Christed teachings and what we've learned will come under serious scrutiny. These tests should be embraced, because they strengthen our spiritual resolve. At present, diet is a concern of many. There are several spiritual reassurances that our ascending bodies can process most anything edible...and there is a bible verse about even poison won't affect us...though many of the foods we're so familiar with no longer pique our interests. Then there are concerns about our future: should we stockpile food, should we retain glass jars and tin coffee cans for future use? Few, if any, of us have received instructions about how the universe intends to feed us, though the bible certainly gives many illustrations of "manna from heaven". For myself, I'm resolved to experience the matter when it is presented to me. And I intend to allow my heart and my faith to show me the way. Meanwhile, preparedness is a good virtue, though hoarding is not an act of faith. Follow your guides and your instincts. And by all means: share your experiences with the rest of us, that all might share in knowing. |

Very interesting post Yunique. Does that mean everybody is a star seed or has star seeded DNA now? I don't notice any new abilities or insights. Or anything for that matter, unless you count all the negative things. Does that indicate I will not make the ascension? |

Since Royster is on vacation, might as well add to this thread on his behalf. -- THE FIRST CHAKRA ELEMENT: EARTH COLOR: RED BODY ASPECTS: Physical foundation; elimination of wastes; rectum, legs, feet; testosterone and estrogen INSTINCT: Survival, procreation PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS: Feeding, shelter, safety, ability to provide for oneself GLANDS: Ovaries and testes SEEDS: Kundalini, abundance NEGATIVE EXPRESSION: Hoarding, predatory behavior, mindless violence, chronic fatigue, birth trauma, abandonment issues ______________________________________________ The first chakra is located at the base of the spine, between the anus and the genitals. It is the gateway to the feminine, extending luminous filaments down our legs into the biosphere. Like a taproot reaching into the moist, rich places in Mother Earth, the first chakra supplies us with essential nutrients. It grounds us and is the foundation in which our luminous energy system rests. When we become disconnected with earth, we begin to get our life nourishment from the surface. As a result, we become like a tree whose shallow, widespread roots cannot keep it from toppling during a storm. We lose our stability, our foundation, and our security. When the first chakra is disconnected from the feminine Earth, we can feel orphaned and motherless. The masculine principle predominates, and we look for security from material things. Individuality prevails in our relationship, and selfish drives triumph over family, social, and global responsibility. The more separated we become from the Earth, the more hostile we become to the feminine. We disown our passion, our creativity, and our sexuality. Eventually the Earth itself becomes a baneful place. I remember being told by a medicine woman in the Amazon, “Do you know why they are really cutting down the rain forest? Because it is wet and dark and tangled and feminine.” First-chakra drives are primary and instinctual. We seek shelter. We forage for food. We strive to survive even under the most adverse situations. We procreate. These urges are fundamental instincts. In the same way that we can hold our breath but we cannot command our body to stop breathing, we cannot override our instinct to survive. Last edited by alphamind; 06-27-2011 at 05:32 PM. |

The four instinctual drives - fear, feeding, fighting, and sex - are mirrored in the agendas of the lower chakras. These are the basic programs required for physical and emotional survival. The compulsion to overeat or to hoard money or toys is one of the negative expressions of the feeding instinct. We can never get enough to satisfy us. An unbalanced first chakra manifests in feelings of scarcity and lack. Even those who have a great deal may fear loss of their possessions. Ironically, the poor often are more generous than the rich. With a clear first chakra, the mentality of scarcity disappears. We come to realize that nothing is lacking and that we live in abundance. Intellectual understanding is not enough. We must know with every cell in our body that we are being cared for and sustained by the Universe. A collapsed first chakra makes us build fences to protect what we own from our neighbors. An unhealthy second chakra makes us gather piles of stones to defend ourselves from them. Testosterone and estrogen are the hormone associated with the first chakra. Laboratory studies show that testosterone elicits two primary responses in the human male: sex and aggression. When women are given testosterone injections the complain that they cannot stop thinking about sex. An imbalance in the first chakra can exacerbate the effects of testosterone, causing a man to confuse the two instinctual impulses of this hormone. When that happens he begins to hurt the moan he loves and eventually destroys the intimacy in his love relationship. It leads to sexual abuse, which is widespread throughout not only America but also the rest of the world, particularly in countries making the transformation from a village-based society to a city-based one. In South Africa, which is undergoing such a transition, a woman is raped every twenty-six seconds. When I work with a woman who has experienced sexual abuse early in life, I often find her first chakra shut down, many times from a subconscious fear that she might harm others as she was harmed by her father or another male in her family. Estrogen, which is produced by the ovaries, is essential for maintaining bone mineral content. Estrogen production drops off dramatically after menopause, which can make a woman susceptible to osteoporosis. In no industrial societies women do not seem to have the high incidence of osteoporosis that we find in America. Some investigators argue that this is because women in the third world do not live as long and therefore never got to suffer significant bone mineral loss. I am convinced that another reason is that women in no industrial societies maintain an active connection with the feminine Earth throughout their lives. The first chakra induces in women powerful feelings of nurturing, desire for the relationship, and mating. Imbalances in this chakra can result in a woman’s overwhelming concern for security in her relationship at the cost of her autonomy. Tribal cultures perform first-chakra rites of passage to celebrate a youth’s coming into manhood or womanhood. [royster’s comment: This is acknowledging the transformation puberty brings. In an advanced society, “ascension” rites would be joyously conducted, as well.] The ceremony encourages the youth to release the parental bonds holding him to his mother and father. During the ceremony the youth claims the Earth as the mother who will never leave him and the Heavens as the steadfast, reliable, enduring father. [royster, again, reminding you all: it’s not too late for this proclamation!] This ensures that the young person will continue to be parented, but now by powers greater than his biological mother and father. The youth is now able to participate in ceremonies and offerings to Heaven and Earth, therefore maintaining a conscious connection to these cosmic parents. Lacking these rites of passage into puberty [or ascension] , Westerners are spiritual orphans. We struggle through life feeling motherless and fatherless, and later find that we do not know how to be dependable parents. |

An individual operating out of the first chakra is in a state of primary fusion with the world. He is absorbed by the senses and engages the material world exclusively. He believes that the world owes him something and that those around him should recognize that he is special. He becomes self-centered and narcissistic. He cannot experience authentic love because he cannot put himself in the place of another; he is unable to “walk a mile in another person’s moccasins.” This center corresponds to the first seven years of life. The traumas experienced in these early years, including birth, and prenatal trauma, are recorded in this chakra, forming psychological complexes that stunt later development. Like a young child, a person motivated primarily by the first chakra will be preoccupied with his needs for survival and entertainment. When cornered, he can become violent, lashing out physically or emotionally at the perceived threat. The first-chakra person will look for temporary sensual gratification at whatever cost. Often he can not tell where his body ends and the world begins, so others become an extension of himself and cease to matter in his eyes. When I see a client who has suffered early childhood abuse or who was abandoned by one or both parents, I immediately look for first-chakra involvement. Former-life traumas are often located in the first or second chakra. Throughout history dictators seeking domination have been propelled by the negative drives of the first chakra. There are remarkable positive attributes of the first chakra. Its survival instincts ensure the continuation of the species: They drive us to mate and bear children, and allow humans to persevere under the most adverse of conditions. In Sanskrit the first chakra is called muladhara, meaning “foundation”. Our energetic house must be built upon a strong footing. In yoga this chakra is thought of as the home of kundalini energy. Its symbol is a coiled serpent asleep at the base of the spine. Kundalini is seen as the active power of the great goddess Shakti, the force that animates all creation. For the shaman this is the primordial serpent who swallows its own tail, Ouroboros, and portrays an unconscious state of self-absorption. To the Amazon peoples this power is represented by the sachamama, the water boa. In North America, it is represented by the rattlesnake. As we clear imprints within the first chakra, the Kundalini energy is awakened. The primal serpent uncoils, and its feminine energy moves up through the chakras. Shamans in the America, India and Tibet have long believed that it is through the power of the primal feminine that all creatures move, live, procreate and flourish. It’s no surprise that the serpent was the one to bring us the fruit of the tree of knowledge in Genesis. Its energy, which lies dormant within each of us, is the energy of the Earth and the heartbeat of the mother planet. -- Respecting The Connection(s) |

A common mistake sojourners make is to progress to a certain degree of enlightenment, then tell God "I'll take it from here!" They coast along for a while, but soon enough, they're back where they started. The same phenomena occurs for those sojourners who advance enough to receive some degree of psychic gifts. They think they're there and are offering readings, tarot card poker and ego massages. Initially they can enjoy some success. What happens is they forget about God and start depending on the attention they're getting...read that as "other people's energy"...and switch over to that. It works for a while, but they have nonetheless abandoned their true connection with God, so the greater gift becomes diminished, and they actually start struggling to maintain their gift. Having invested heavily in real estate in the form of carnival booths, they tend to deteriorate to a condition that can be called 'pre-enlightenment'. In other words, sent back to take the third grade over. Others are what I call "Amazon.com Gurus" who glean some book knowledge, but use it to keep other sojourners down below their level. Their techniques are often crass but to the unsuspecting and gullible carnival-goer, it gets their attention. A quick read of the gullible allows the Amazon.com Guru to know his patsy well, and strings them along indefinitely. Obviously we see this is energy vampirism. Every seed created by every plant contains enough 'food' for the seedling to establish roots and basic operating systems. It is then expected to accept nourishment from the soil, rains and sun. I have never seen a plant say "Okay, God; I'll take it from here!" and walk over to a nice side of the garden. Well, okay, I've seen them do it. But they were dead the next day. The whole purpose of our sojourn to God is to re-connect and live in alignment with the universe, which means establishing a truthful and enduring relationship with Source. This requires humbleness, and it requires an attitude of enduring dedication. In summary, many set out on their "spiritual journey" with the pre-conceived notion that once God is found, you only have to check in every once in a while. There is a sense that once some plateau is achieved...be it a 900 on the Richter scale or a Kundalini or two...that the search is over, and we can go back to the same old indulgences. It's no wonder very few know what true spirituality is, or how to maintain it. For myself, my contact with God and Guides is daily, and it is consistent. I have committed my self to "pray unceasingly", which means stay in constant contact with God. Visiting Him once on Sunday, after you call your mother, is not enough to sustain the spiritual nourishment your path will require. And as this connection amiably improves, you soon enough tap into the wisdom and learning available to any serious sojourner. It will save you lots of money on books, because you are tapped into a higher exchange-and-processing of information in an incorruptible media. You are free to share this information and encouraged to, though you'll know when you're casting your pearls before swine: your audience will start arguing with you, because you're threatening their belief system. By the way, God is not a "belief system". It's a knowing system. Last edited by alphamind; 07-02-2011 at 10:31 PM. |

Today, Sunday July 3, we approach the end of a larger cycle. The end of cycles will often prompt an undefinable sadness or depression. As with death, we need to re-think how we feel about 'endings'. Our life-long conditioning dictates we pull the dark clothes from the closet and mourn. This is the opposite of what we should do. And just for those interested: the Chinese wear BLACK for weddings, and WHITE for mourning. First, remember when you feel yourself getting down-in-the-heart, you can instill joy for the sake of joy. And you can do this at most any moment. The end of a cycle means we've fulfilled our cyclic contract, for better or for worse. It's now time to let it go, and see how we've done. My mother died in March, and there is now a "for sale" sign in front of her house. This at first brought a sad thought to me, but then it reminded me that she has fulfilled her life contract, and new life-contracts will fill the old house with new journeys, new experiences, to 'new' people. That is a cause for joy, not sorrow. And it has been my intention to purge that house of my own discordant energies from growing up, to leave clean joy and possibilities for the next occupants. So we can learn from the end of this cycle that we might have misplaced our emotions because society told us to, or it's a familiar (and thus comfortable) response. We approach a new cycle, and sorrow will affect our starting of it: let's walk in there clean and happy, eager to find joy...even when searching for impacted energies...for that is light that shows us how to proceed. I have been working on adjusting the ways i start my day, from the time I wake up. That is making progress, and as I set about to do my daily chores, my guides have instructed me to work on the darkest feelings/impacted energies first...they become lighter as the day progresses, and in such a manner, we end the day with joy. If we save our worst tasks and darkest self-searching for late in the day, we're tired, reluctant and will make excuses to avoid real challenge. It is challenge that strengthens us. Taking a good overall view of how we feel, respond and apportion our time/energies will glean much insight to finding better and more efficient approaches to personal growth. It has been received from my guides that strong focus inward right now is the best start of the new cycle. We can catch our mistakes before the next cycle gets fully under way...last-minute editing...and make the changes we see need to be made. A drop in psychic reading and activity is a sure sign that the wiser among us are heeding the suggestion to work on our inner-God-particle, rather than sending energy out to others who demand it, and thus depleting our own. July holds the suggestion that we internalize what we've just been through, adjust to our newly-re-acquired powers (from the eclipse) and ready our homes for the next journey. The coming journey will demand many tests of us, and depending on how well we spend July (and following instructions) will strongly influence the outcome. As well, if we have taken the time to rearrange our feelings and reactions, calibrating them toward joy, I am confident we'll have a very energetic August...unusual for most of us, but the old cycles and thought-patterns are revealed and the reasons why. We can address the reasons and experience some temporary discomfort, or ignore them to stay "comfortable" for a short term. As for me, I'm in this for the long run. |

| Hey people...this is royster, using my wife's account. This post (for that reason) may get deleted because it bucks the Pavlina rules. However, I thought this important enough to share, and hope it is permitted to remain. I miss many of you and hope you're doing well. I also hope (should this post be permitted to stay) this reactivates a valuable thread here at the Smart Forums. Many blessings~ royster [as posted at my website:] From all the indications I can see, March was the starting point of significant ascension energies. We had been warned about them, and now that the time has passed, we see those warnings were validated. Equally, Promises were made and kept. A review will help us all pool this era's lessons and advances, giving us a chance to clear last-minute impacted energies before we head into the Home Stretch. Perhaps the most important aspect of this review is seeing where INFORMATION WAS RELIABLE, AND WHAT SOURCES WERE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. _______________________ Archangel Michael consistently provides reliable information, not so much in respects to warnings about the road ahead, but in ascension practices and sympathies that have helped many of us make it through some very difficult times. In following the practices and protocols AA Michael provided, many of us found ways to cope, and also enjoyed the reassurance that we aren't alone in this: this is a cosmic event. The instructions we receive from Him are enduring tools for a long-term sojourn, not just a fleeting moments' hurrah. His suggestions and instructions are based on the laws which our universe abides by, for sustainability and abundance. It is clear, by the postings of most members, that the Summer of '11 brought many difficulties, yet many blessings...in that order. As was warned, we experienced many deaths close to us...those who were unable to process the Earth Ascension energies, and those whose Life Contract had expired. This presented us with mourning, and...speaking for myself...mourning is something I've finally learned to do with reverence, and even joy. In an earlier day, when I drank alcohol, death would be a prime excuse for poor behavior. In my sobriety, and in my ascension, I no longer use events as a means of being absent or emotional currency: I now experience the events for the lessons and enlightenment they bring. Thus, I see a whole lot more than the limited view from the bottom of a beer can. Thanks, Higher Power. Interestingly, the deaths I was affected by have been mostly female: my mother (in March), Mugwort's wife, Dot...Peter's mother also passed away. Those three matriarchs, alone, were significant in so many ways. For myself, my mothers' death brought extensive travel, and ultimately a small fortune which I've been enjoying. It also leaves me somewhat "orphaned", as each of us eventually becomes. It is then we are "adopted" by "the Parents That Never Leave Us"...the Sun and Earth. Here's an e-mail comment midnite sent regarding March: Quote:
Quote:
It is very possible, now, to look back at the year and digest the events. In doing so, you'll start seeing some remarkable changes that took place, and which are influencing us for the better. It is also possible to actually chart out the Chaotic Node spikes that occurred, and much may be gleaned by these patterns. I witnessed many people fall off the path, give up or simply settle in with the old familiar. Each of us can make those choices, and each of us can also choose to forge ahead. I also witnessed the "least likely" make substantial progress in their ascension. But as many of us observed, the numbers for successful ascendants decrease every day, because the tests seem to get harder. As one who Scouts, I can report that enduring these tests is grueling indeed, but getting through them is beneficial to all aspects of our being. In sharing the events and experiences along the way...openly and honestly...we here at Halfpast have helped our little community through one of the most difficult pieces of History humans can endure. Those not tuned in simply dismiss the spiritual aspects as 'sour grapes', allowing science and theology to once again dictate their existence. When this disappoints them, they look for scapegoats to blame their troubles on. This year allowed us some very clear definitions, and the opportunity to finally relieve ourselves of ancient impacted energies. No significant ascension or spiritual progress can ever be made without purging the old thinking ways and behaviors that trapped us in a constant circle. How blessed we have been to have Guides that offer reliable information and tools. But that information and tooling does no good unless they are incorporated into our every-day life: you can have all the flowery sayings framed on your wall that you want...if you don't practice them daily, they are merely "tinkling brass". Yes, 2011 threw some severe punches at us. Lots of us got knocked to the ground, our breath coughed out of us. But once we regained regular breathing, and took the time to see the deeper meanings, we found ourselves on a purer journey, knowing we can "never go back". The smart ones don't WANT to go back, and the Enlightened do not find comfort in the non-changing consistant familiar. I have found...by having the courage to do so...that the unknown is not so forboding or scary: it holds the promise of the very answers I seek, and in trusting the God of my understanding to guide me through the events of the unknown, I have adapted to accepting the unknown and abstract. In doing so, I find the Eternal Mind waiting to guide me further. But only when I acquiesce my dysfunctional beliefs and mainstream conditioning, and listening to the universe on the universe's terms. Quote:
I also wish to point out that demonic activity increased during this period, as many posting members have reported. http://halfpast.oceanfalls.org/index...35.msg5836#new For the record, I asked the Pavlina Forums for a new account, but never heard from anyone. It is not my intention to use my wife's account as my own: I simply thought this posting of import to those spiritual sojourners on this forum. royster Last edited by varose; 11-18-2011 at 04:07 PM. | |||
