--Guy Finley--
Deep spiritual work reveals the truth that hellish things on earth manifest as they do because their dark cause dwells hidden somewhere in us. We are about to look into this interior abyss and shine into its unseen corners a beautiful light of understanding. We will illuminate the center of the earth where dark forces are always celebrating some victory over unconscious human beings.
 
Imagine the chief devil calling together every possible evil entity that is in range of his magnetic voice and saying, “How can we interfere up there? What can we do to further deceive human beings? We must keep them in the dark so they can’t see the Light that wants to rescue them. I want something so evil, so sinister, that no one will know what happened. Who’s got it?”
 
And the flames of all the little imps dim a little bit because they’re afraid; but two days later, they all come back with a few ideas, although nothing spectacular. Then one tiny imp hops on the shoulder of the devil and whispers something in his ear. Great flames shoot out of the devil and sear the little imp who cries out “Thank you!” Then the devil exclaims, “Ah! I have the plan in hand!”

Lost Souls, Earthbound spirits, and those who don't know they are dead.

--Anita Burns

Although we would like to think that after death everything is beautiful and that we go to a place of love and light, this is not always the case for everyone. In my lifetime and in my too-many-years-to-count of experience with the "dearly" departed, there are a lot of souls who don't find the light and many who don't even know they are dead.

Too often these souls are afraid and confused, not knowing what to do or where to go to find their peace, so they hang around the "living" trying to be heard, crying out for help.

The good news is that helping them is a simple thing to do. Gathering together in a group for the purposes of hearing their stories and helping them find the light literally saves souls.

Soul rescue is a work that really makes my heart sing. Although I had facilitated rescue circles for many years, it was never more personal than when my stepfather died. He had been ill for some time but always pulled through a crises. This time, when mother said he was in the hospital for colon problems, I had no inkling that he would never go home.

I think it was morning, although my memory might be wrong in this. I walked from my bedroom to the living room and there he was, my stepfather, Jean (French for John), sitting in the blue recliner rocker that used to be his until mother bought him a new one. He looked confused and dazed. "What am I doing here? How did I get here?" he asked as his eyes darted around.

I was startled to see him there but recognized immediately that he had died and didn't know it. "You have passed away from your body." I said as calmly as I could. "Do you remember being in the hospital?"

He thought a moment, then said, "Yes."
I looked over his shoulder and a cloud of mist was beginning to form. His mother's face appeared and she called to him. He didn't seem to hear her.

"You have died." I said. "Your mother is calling you to guide you to your new home."

Inner Christmas, a practice of inner renewal and development, begins on December 25 and unfolds nightly through January 6, the day of Epiphany. These are the 12 Holy Nights, a yearly time when our souls experience a unique connection with spiritual forces, the veils between heaven and earth lift and powerful inner insight and growth are possible.”  ~ Lynn Jericho Inner Christmas

This is the perfect time of year (in the Yuletide prior to Epiphany on January 6th) to create sacred space to connect with that ‘inner still small voice’.

What is ‘Sacred Space'?
Sacred space can be as small as a deep cleansing breath you take in to clear your self or to prepare for meditation; or it can be a small physical space such as a window sill, an altar, or a larger space in a room in a home; or it may be larger still such as a garden or a cathedral or an ancient megalithic site. The primary importance is the intention of setting the space for sacred use or sacred connection to Nature, the ‘Divine’ or “All that is” in order to experience “I Am that I Am”.

16th Archangel Patron Angel of Light Workers

I had the most amazing Advanced ACP workshop over the weekend with the Internationally renowned Tina Marie Daly and Charles Virtue, son of Doreen Virtue.

Advanced Card Spreads, Past Life Reading Techniques, Aura Readings, Atlantean Healing Meditation, and developing your professional career as a healer were topics that were discussed. Doreen herself, called in to give us Light Workers a congratulatory message on how we can continue our path, and help mother earth. Most importantly though was the introduction to the 16th Archangel, Archangel Nathaniel.

Archangel Nathaniel means “Gift of God”.  He is called the 2012 Archangel. His energy is working closely with us to help us to prepare for the spiritual shift and changes that are to take place in 2013.  Archangel Nathaniel nudges us, whispers in our ear, and pushes us to follow the path of what makes our heart sing.  Passion, joy, happiness, love, and light are vocabulary that he uses to bring us nearer to our life purpose. He encourages us to participate also in a collective purpose.  In other words, he is stating to us to help, heal, and protect the earth planet and everyone who lives on it.  Where I attend, at Agape International Spiritual Center, Archangel Nathaniel, oversees and watches over the Universal Love that is spread all over the world and how the ministries are involved in this collective consciousness. He asks us to stretch more than your comfort zone at this holiday time, to ones that are in need.
