Soul-Based Safety by Owen Waters
With your sense of intuition in good working order, you are never in the wrong place at the wrong time. Last week, I pointed out that 2012 will come and go without any of the frantic disaster predictions coming true. I’ve never seen a prediction about massive disasters come true yet, and 2012 will be no exception. On the other side of the coin, you do have to be aware that danger can lurk along anyone’s path through life, so caution is prudent. Every time you get in a car and drive, it won’t be you that’s causing the potential ...
My Tribute Inspired By Steve Jobs Death
Ok- I know there is a lot of love and respect for the late Steve Jobs, and tributes are certainly in order- but I would like to point out to EVERYONE, that there are plenty of amazing, remarkable and brilliant people who die every day...WE ALL have profoundly touched somebody- and it's NOT the quantity by which we do it, but the QUALITY. No single person has ever NOT profoundly touched, moved, inspired or impacted SOMEBODY - such that ALL of humanity has not benefited from that interaction. In fact - most of the profound interactions are witnessed by only ...
The Gateway to Spiritual Consciousness by Owen Waters
Love is the saving grace of all of humanity. We contact this primal energy in our finest moments. From the moment a baby is born, it is enshrouded in the unselfish love of its mother. From the moment a person springs into action to protect others from peril, their own thoughts of survival are ‘overlighted’ by the love and caring that shines from their heart. When a person looks back on their life, they see that one thing that mattered the most: Love. Pure, unadulterated, unconditional love. It is the source of compassion. It is the energy of caring for others. ...
Reconnecting with Love by Owen Waters
With the ups and downs of life, there can be times when your connection to a universe of love seems distant. The opposite of love is fear and it appears in many forms. All negative emotions including guilt and anger are expressions of fear and they can flourish in the absence of love. Fortunately, fear has a simple antidote. Love dissolves fear, so you need to know how to bring its feeling back when it has temporarily gone away. Gratitude is one type of expression of love which has enormous power. Gratitude is invoked when you mentally send love to ...

Speaking of food, there is a vital nutritional key to good health of which we should all be aware. Many of our parents’ generation have died from degenerative diseases that are currently considered common but can actually be easily prevented.When a spiritual seeker faces cancer or other serious illnesses, their spiritual seeking stops because all their energies become tied up in managing the disease.
The China Study by Colin Campbell is the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and is now one of America’s most widely-read nutrition books.
The author was raised on a traditional dairy farm and then spent his life as a biochemist studying the effects of protein. His research led to evidence which had startling implications for diet, weight reduction and long-term health. It showed how to virtually turn off the likelihood of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis and degenerative brain disease!
The most well-known follower of The China Study material is American President Bill Clinton. In 2010, after years of heart issues, he turned to this diet to restore his health and, as a side-benefit, quickly eliminated 24 pounds of excess weight.

The China Study by Colin Campbell
When a spiritual seeker faces cancer or other serious illnesses, their spiritual seeking stops because all their energies become tied up in managing the disease. It is for this reason that this book is included in this list of recommended reading material. The China Study is the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and is now one of America’s most widely-read nutrition books. With it, you can avoid the specter of degenerative illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Better yet, see the new movie based on the material in this book: The movie is called Forks Over Knives.
So, check these out – and draw your own conclusions. And know, why I think GMO (Monsanto!) is very very bad for humanity, and the planet…

With your sense of intuition in good working order, you are never in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Last week, I pointed out that 2012 will come and go without any of the frantic disaster predictions coming true. I’ve never seen a prediction about massive disasters come true yet, and 2012 will be no exception.
On the other side of the coin, you do have to be aware that danger can lurk along anyone’s path through life, so caution is prudent. Every time you get in a car and drive, it won’t be you that’s causing the potential danger. It’ll be some unaware person who’s on the phone or texting instead of watching where they’re driving. Being aware of potential danger isn’t being fearful; it’s being sensibly cautious.
On a larger scale, it’s a no-brainer that, if you live in an earthquake zone or a hurricane zone, you will face such dangers on very rare occasions. If a natural disaster is about to affect your area, you can intuitively know about it soon enough to be prepared or even leave the area. Animals always know these things at least 3 days ahead, so it’s not hard for we humans to be similarly in tune with nature via our inner guidance.
Another no-brainer is that, because sea levels are beginning to rise, low-lying coastal homes will one day become uninhabitable. That day might be 30 years away or it might come sooner. Either way it pays to be open to intuitive warnings or senses of caution as such inner messages arise. There’s little point in moving away years ahead of time but, if you begin to get hunches to move somewhere else, that’s different. Then, you should investigate the possibilities, see how each option feels and act in line with your inner guidance. The ideal option for you will be the one that feels the most right to you.
The solution to personal safety and security has always been to be open to intuition from your soul consciousness. If you’re getting into your car and you get a sudden flash that you should take another route than the one you’d planned, then go with the hunch, even if it does make you late for work. The hunch might just be about avoiding traffic congestion or it might be a message for your safety. If it’s an urgent message, it will keep repeating itself.
The nature of such messages is subtle. They don’t loudly announce themselves like, “Ding! Incoming message!” They do quite the reverse.
They pop quietly into your awareness as an idea that your conscious mind didn’t generate. Your response will often be, “Where did that idea come from?” If the idea repeats itself two more times in the next few minutes, then you know you’re getting Ding’d big time!
Intuition works much more smoothly when you have adopted a habit of daily spiritual practices. Meditation, healing or world healing practices bring you spiritual growth by raising your frequency of consciousness. They open up your awareness to soul-based intuitive guidance and the sense of personal safety and security that this brings.
The World Healing Technique is particularly powerful and it is available online for all to see at:

Ok- I know there is a lot of love and respect for the late Steve Jobs, and tributes are certainly in order- but I would like to point out to EVERYONE, that there are plenty of amazing, remarkable and brilliant people who die every day…WE ALL have profoundly touched somebody- and it’s NOT the quantity by which we do it, but the QUALITY. No single person has ever NOT profoundly touched, moved, inspired or impacted SOMEBODY – such that ALL of humanity has not benefited from that interaction. In fact – most of the profound interactions are witnessed by only a very few, and odds are high nobody got rich from it. But in the end, simply having existed- you, me, Steve Jobs, Ghandi, anyone [yes, even the 'bad' people'] have provided a POSITIVE and LASTING impact on the human condition. Ponder on that, as you read this on your smart phone, computer, or other such device…and think about how many excellent and amazing people you never heard about, helped make that gadget you are using a reality…

Love is the saving grace of all of humanity. We contact this primal energy in our finest moments. From the moment a baby is born, it is enshrouded in the unselfish love of its mother. From the moment a person springs into action to protect others from peril, their own thoughts of survival are ‘overlighted’ by the love and caring that shines from their heart.
When a person looks back on their life, they see that one thing that mattered the most: Love. Pure, unadulterated, unconditional love.
It is the source of compassion. It is the energy of caring for others. It is the binding force which holds together the entire universe, and it flows through you whenever you simply allow it.
Love is the gateway to spiritual consciousness. It is through activation of the spiritual heart that we pass into a whole new world of expansion and joy. In the realms of spiritual consciousness, we find peace, bliss, and continual inspiration. In the realms of spiritual consciousness, we expand our view of life to see the issues that are important to the soul. We can then see how love can heal and how we can and should take the time to spread a little more love in the world every day, even if it is simply done in silent prayer for the well-being of others.
Let your heart open to love each and every day. When you are attuned to the natural flow of love throughout the universe, you then feel the natural flow of energy within your own being. Your senses of insight and timing develop to help you achieve more and to succeed easily at the tasks that are important to you.
The flow of love is critical to life. Without the all-pervasive love of the Creator which fills the universe, nothing would exist. For centuries, humankind has been playing a game where love and inner inspiration have been blocked off and ignored. Today, the tide is turning and people are opening up to this wonderful flow of natural energy.
Remember the love within, especially when outer circumstances seem dark. Remember that love is the gateway to the higher realms of consciousness where answers can be found to meet every challenge that life presents.
Tune into love. It will never let you down. Instead, it will set your spirit free to explore the realms of consciousness which offer greater vistas of awareness, greater peace of mind, and a sense of constant joy.

With the ups and downs of life, there can be times when your connection to a universe of love seems distant. The opposite of love is fear and it appears in many forms. All negative emotions including guilt and anger are expressions of fear and they can flourish in the absence of love.
Fortunately, fear has a simple antidote. Love dissolves fear, so you need to know how to bring its feeling back when it has temporarily gone away.
Gratitude is one type of expression of love which has enormous power. Gratitude is invoked when you mentally send love to those whom you appreciate. It becomes especially powerful when you send your gratitude to your concept of God the Creator for all the good things in your life and for life itself, because God will reciprocate with uplifting energies. That one step you take towards God really does bring a reaction of two steps towards you.
Gratitude takes you right out of your personal sphere of consciousness and into an expanded view of the universe.
In this way, it raises you far above the petty fears that still try to haunt people in the everyday world. Gratitude is one of the most beautiful secrets in spiritual life. It is an expression of love, and love flows through all forms of manifestation. Without love, life in the universe cannot exist. Love is the universal force of preservation which holds Creation in manifestation.
When you allow your heart to open to the universe’s flow of love, gratitude comes with that flow. Gratitude for being alive, for just existing, for just being in the flow of the adventure of life. Gratitude for the Sun that gives us life. Gratitude for the Creation of the Earth as our home in this great cosmos. Gratitude for the people that you love, and for those who share your journey through life.
Gratitude flows unimpeded from an open heart. When you allow it, gratitude will flow as freely as the sunshine, unobstructed by judgments or conditions.
Use the following affirmation and see what happens. Keep repeating it and, each time, think more about what the words mean.
The Gratitude Affirmation adds new meaning to the term, quality of life.
It really works! Try it now.
Gratitude Affirmation
I am grateful for life
And all that I love
I am grateful for the Earth
And the Sun up above
I am grateful for my spirit
And my inner being
For the One that I express
And the joy of this feeling
When you awaken each day, even before you get out of bed, think of ten things for which you are grateful. Finish your reflections with the Gratitude Affirmation and, each day, you’ll feel inspired to have the best day ever!
