It's Happening.

It's been a few weeks since my last blog - quite eventful weeks, I have to say.  So whilst I've been remiss in blogging about my book, I've been busy organising its release.

It's happening.  Downloading Spirit is being published.  

All being well it will be launched on the 21st April.

The road to publication is a daunting one for an unpublished author with no media or literary connections.  I've stopped counting how many times I've submitted my book to publishers.  In the last lot of submissions, sent out more than four months ago, I sent to a total of twelve publishers.  All submissions were made according to the published guidelines of each company.  One replied that they had received the submission.  Six weeks later, they informed me it was not what they were currently looking for.  Other than that, not a boo or a baa.

For some time I have felt that it was time to self publish.  Synchronistically a colleague, who's also writing a book, sent me information about an Amazon subsidiary that enables you to self publish.  They also have a great program for marketing and distribution.  I made contact, considered what was being offered, and decided to go for it.

The launch date was decided by using astrology to select a favourable time.  Hence the 21st April.

Why did I select this date using Astrology?

It tells me when the energetic environment is most favourable for me to act.

How to effectively work with it, is in Downloading Spirit.  You can read all about it very soon.  

The book will be distributed online and through Amazon, Barns & Noble, Waterstones, W.H. Smith, Dymocks as well as more than 25,000 resellers.

Briefly, however, if you look at the daily transits and the aspects they make to your birthchart, it's possible to come up with the best possible time, place and way to do a particular thing successfully.

It doesn't give you exact answers, but it gives you the likely probabilities of what is involved.

Personally I have always found it much easier to make a decision if I can fully understand the likely positives and negatives of any situation.

I'll talk more about Astrology and Astronomy in future blogs.

In the meantime,  I saw an encouraging article on Page 11 of the Sydney Morning Herald, January 31,  2012.  It was was written by Peter Hartcher and titled Wars wane: is the world really falling into peace?           

I mention this because of recent  comments of mine about Creating what we think.                    

Hartcher reveals statistics that clearly indicate that war at all levels is definitely waning.  He also cites The Better Angels of our Nature, by Steven Pinker, Harvard professor of psychology. 

In his book Pinker says We may be living in the most peaceable era in our species' existence.                         

Why does this surprise us?  Hartcher asks.

His answer is interesting.  This time he quotes Andrew Mack, leader of the Human Security Report, who tells Hartcher:  It's your fault.  It's partly the media's news policy - 'if it bleeds it leads'.  

The media talks about war a lot, but hardly ever about peace.  The media reports the negative, the tragic, rarely the positive or joyous.  It seems to thrive on fear.  Is it, because this keeps the masses worried and easy to manipulate?

But this is changing with the internet.  It began to change when Marshall McLuhan coined the expressions "the medium is the message" and "the global village" and predicted the World Wide Web.  It is still changing today, with the challenges of people such as Julian Assange and Wikileaks.

Our world is becoming more transparent.  It is harder for the powerful and privileged few to keep things secrets anymore.  This means that people can speak their truth and act to create what they believe is right.

Pinker also puts forward the view that human beings are not intrinsically violent but that we adopted violence as a survival strategy.  As it becomes less useful, he suggests, we are simply discarding it.

There will always be difficulties and challenges in this world, but what this article suggests to me is very positive.

For me it is an affirmation that humanity is not inherently violent.  We only want to survive.  

It is validating my belief that if we walk through our fear,  we can overcome all problems.

If we ensure that all people have enough food, clean water, shelter, education, freedom of religion and freedom of speech, the need for violence to ensure survival will cease to exist.

Dare to dream, walk your talk.  If we act from a basis of love and a desire for peace, we shall achieve peace on Earth.

We do create what we think.

Our Thoughts are Real.

Walking barefoot on soft grass with my two pugs, surrounded by magnificent trees, I'm feeling the earth and her energy ... such beauty.

It's usually at times like Christmas and New Year that one thinks on things past and plans for the future.  Now, these are the thoughts and remembrances of ... this makes me hesitate ... but ... an old woman.

I don't feel old, my thoughts aren't old, I'm not old.  I'm eternal; but my body's getting old.  My body isn't me.  I look in the mirror and I see a vintage model of a human being, the amazing animal, my spirit and archetypal energies have overlaid and moved into.

My body is like my car.  I get into it in the morning and go to life on Earth.  I leave it at night, and go to another life.  I can actually do this when I choose, but this doesn't happen very often, because I choose to live and ground my energies here. It is important that we focus on being fully present in this amazing and beautiful world.  We need to live in and care for it to the full.  This is important so we can make our creative non physical ideas and thoughts real.  Selected thoughts are the blueprints we choose to manifest in this physical world.

If we are not grounded and centred we can lose it, if you like, flip out; we cannot make our thoughts a tangible reality in our world.  That can lead to mental illness. It is essential to know we are experiencing this life here, to create here.  We need to realise that being in a physical body means achievement is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.  To make ideas real requires hard work.

One of the dilemmas with being both self conscious and soul conscious is that we can frighten people if we do not manage these consciousnesses carefully and respectfully.  We can even frighten ourselves. It's only recently that people have started to talk about these things.

While in my body, I must do as much as I can.  When my body is too old, I'll trade it in.  It will be recycled.  But I'll continue ... if only through my children and grandchildren ... in their cellular memory and DNA.  I'm not sure yet what kind of vehicle it will be when I return ... it will be interesting to find out.  I love my body. We've had some amazing times together, but I shall have to leave it behind one day.

The years of our lives pass as do the festive seasons of Christmas and New Year. This annual holiday time can be both wonderful, and difficult for us.  I suspect that in our lives, somewhere along the way, we all experience both the wonder and the difficulties, and possibly most stages in between.

With age, time changes the lenses and the filters through which we see things.

Now, 68, my memories seem to become more and more vivid.  I remember so many different expressions of Christmas and New Year.  Times of little money, times of abundance, times of indulgence and times of abstinence.  Times of euphoria and great joy, and times of unbelievable grief and sadness.

That first Christmas without my husband was when I began to remember.  That year I scattered his ashes with my family and friends.

Throughout my life, one defining emotion and feeling has remained in me.  It is with me every day and will be till I die.  That emotion and feeling is love.

In my last blog I included Sting's Youtube video, the Shape of My Heart, the song begins with the lyrics:-

"I use the cards as a meditation ..."

My memory is of my mother who played solitaire almost every day of her life.  It was her meditation.  It was her time for her self.  Now she is dead, I continue her tradition each day.  For me it can be a meditation of gratitude, of how to deal with a difficult situation.  How to deal with my frustration, my anger, with my pain or hurt.  It gives me time to observe myself, and consider how I can become more aware, a better person.  It gives me time to consider who I truly am.

Learning to observe ourselves is so important.

Simple acts in the physical are essential to being at all levels.

Whilst writing this, my thoughts have brought back to life so many who have now crossed or left me in the physical for whatever reason.

But my thoughts make them alive.  My thoughts are real.  Those on whose shoulders I stand, those who have taught me, and loved me, those who I love ... they never die.

Once a living consciousness and being is manifest, has personality, and explores archetypal energy, we are immortal.  We do not stay in the physical eternally.  We may visit it more than once.  But as Christ said:  "In my father's house are many mansions."                                                                                      

There are so many worlds, not all of them physical.

But our conscious thoughts are real.  They do not die.  The beings we acknowledge ... live.  Our Universe, our Matrix expands on these thoughts, lives and grows on this conscious, physical and non physical expression of who we are.

Our thoughts create this vibrational reality.  Thought creates all vibrational realities - physical and non physical.  I believe that one day, the particle faster than light, will be defined as essential thought, consciousness.

We just have to learn how to communicate thought, without fear, between the physical and non physical realities.  We need to make good things real.  We have to learn how to think, so we can create the most extraordinary realities - whether they are physical or not.  Thoughts are the blueprints for what can be manifested.

Did I think this would go where it has - no.  But then, I did tell you that I was fascinated with consciousness.

So I come back to what I felt as I walked on the grass, with the earth between my feet, and my beautiful dogs, and the trees, even the worms underneath my feet that I cannot see, and the birds - the black cockatoos of the void, the parrots of light and joy.

Walking I move within.  I come to the Tree of Life, the Tao of being.  I  ground the light, the joy of living and being, able to express and create physically through my body onto this plane.

This happens because I am an electro magnetic, conscious being in this body known as Janet Baljeu within the electro magnetic soul who is Rainbow Water, communicating through Lucinda Thunderwand, my Higher Self, connecting me to the electro magnetic Source of Great Spirit.

I'm only one human being, one physical life, but I have the ability to connect this third dimensional world, my planet Earth, with ALL that is; to be a conduit of communication between the physical and non physical worlds.

I am Downloading Spirit.

We all have this ability.  Our thoughts are real.  We create what we think.  Imagine what could happen if we all make this connection.

It is time to change our world.  It is time to make our highest thoughts a physical reality.

We can change our world and make it a better place.

Our thoughts are real.

Downloading Spirit's first year of blogging.

My blog began at the beginning of 2011.  The subjects I have discussed have been written about and extrapolated on in my book Downloading Spirit.

The blog's purpose is to give you a taste of the book in the hope you will want to read it and tell your friends about it.

The purpose of Downloading Spirit is to communicate what goes on behind the facade of consciousness.

The early blogs talked about our aura or electro magnetic field, vibrations, frequency, the Law of Attraction, and energy.  They discussed totem animals and the archetypal energy they represent for us.

In November, Ahau and the Ancestors were introduced, together with the responsibilities of being self conscious, walking our talk and waking up to our soul consciousness.

I put forward my belief that our archetypal energies represented by our totem animals, inherited through our ancestors in our DNA, and experienced by us through our cellular memories and sub personalities, were indeed the non physical conscious aspects of our soul, our soul mates.

It seemed necessary to explain a little of how these aspects of consciousness manage to communicate with us and move into us so we can express the knowledge they convey to us.

To do this I put forward some of my thoughts on Spin.

In the first December blog I mentioned that Adrian had started Postcard Diary on Facebook and asked you to visit it and support him in this endeavour.  Again I ask this favour of you.

This event caused me to explain a little of how and why I became interested in consciousness.

I talked about our emotional, mental and spiritual consciousness and how information enters through our electro magnetic field and chakras via our meridians and para sympathetic nervous system to be absorbed into the consciousness of our physical body.

We need not fear our emotions ... it is our emotion that creates our passion, and it is our passion that drives us to create a better life and world.  We do need to understand our emotions and manage them effectively.

In a nutshell, we are an electro magnetic field of different frequency layers.  These layers each contain an archetypal energetic aspect, or sub personality, of our total self. That total self is our soul.  We, the self conscious physical person, are for the most part unaware of the rest of our selves.  We're even a bit frightened of them, and don't want to meet them again.  We're a bit like a sleepwalker caught in a physical body, whose self conscious person is too frightened to leave.

It's time to wake up and understand how powerful and extraordinary each of us is.

Amazing events happened in 2011.  One man set himself alight and self immolated in his passionate protest against inequality, discrimination and a system of tyranny.  His name was Mohamed Bouazizi.  Truly he walked through his fear.  In doing this he empowered millions to walk through their fear.

He has changed our world so much that Time's Person of the Year is The Protestor.

Even in the USA protestors march on Wall Street against greed and corruption.

Everywhere people want a better world.

Such is the power of one who walks through their fear.

Possibly, most people, regardless of their religious faith, join in the spirit of giving gifts at Christmas because Christmas is more than just religious.  Christ was not born on Christmas Day.  Some sources place the date between March 28 to May 20, while others somewhere around the end of September.  This fact is recorded in the New Testament (Luke 2:1 to 2:8 and Revelation 12:1-2).

December 25 was adopted as a day to celebrate the birth of Christ as a Christian substitute to the Roman festival Saturnalia in the third century.  Saturnalia was celebrated as the Feast of Sun and was actually considered the birth date of the Sun God.

It is the Pagan time of the solstice, the coming of light.

May light and love return to our world.

Christmas, for me, is more a celebration of a consciousness, an inherent belief in all mankind that love and peace will come to all people here on Earth.  

Downloading Spirit has been written to help people understand their enormous power and potential which will be experienced every time we walk through our fear, and act with love.

Let's walk our talk, show our compassion and strength, unite our heart and our brain and create a better world.

My book is about me trying to communicate the Shape of My Heart, who I am and why I'm here.

This is a song by Sting and the Shape of his Heart:-

With love we can change our world.

Downloading Spirit will be published in 2012.

We can change our world to be a better place.

In my last post I spoke about our two different types of intelligence, our mental and our emotional.  I commented that these are what drive us to create our physical reality. 

Our mental intelligence helps us solve the physical problems of the creation, but it is the emotional intelligence generated from our heart that creates the passion, the desire to make something happen.

The inspiration for this post came in the form of a series of "Chinese Whispers" from a friend to a friend to a friend.  The "whisper" was this Youtube video of Gregg Braden.  In this video he talks about the role of our heart, and how it is the most powerful electro magnetic field in our body.  His theory is not dissimilar from mine and he also backs up what he says with science.

While I spoke of our total personal electro magnetic field, he speaks of our heart's powerful electro magnetic field.  But then, it is really our heart that is at the core of our motivation, our passion, and this is what truly drives us to create in our physical world.  It is our heart that is at the core of our being.

If we "walk our talk" (Nov. 12. blog) , if we live and express what we are passionate about, we create a template or a mould, to which the energy of the Spirit relating to that passion, is attracted.  This aspect of Spirit is then able to condense that energy into the mould, and mirror what we are passionate about.  In this way our dream is created and made real in this world.

It doesn't matter what the dream is, we can make it happen.
Our thoughts are real.

This energy originates in the fourth dimensional, non physical area of our world and moves into the physical because of our passion.  These non physical emotions are the interface that communicates to our brain the best way in which we can create what we imagine. We take the blueprint of our imagination and create a physical reality.

It wouldn't happen without our passion, without our emotions and feelings.
These emotions and feelings can be both positive and negative, just like our electro magnetic field.

Often we're frightened of our feelings and emotions for this reason.  This can lead to us suppressing or denying our feelings.  In turn this leads to blockages which sooner or later need to be released.  So often this release is not helpful, and indeed leads to more problems and sometimes even incidents that we label bad.  It can even cause physical illness.

Learning to work with our feelings and emotions, even if they seem negative, enables us to channel them into positive expression.  We don't need to be frightened of our emotions.  Even  anger can be channelled constructively.

Acknowledging that a feeling exists, means we can then understand the reason for its existence.  Then, it's possible to resolve the cause without damage or pain.

If we change our way of behaving from a negative or passive/aggressive response to an assertive interaction, the person or situation with which we're coping, will also change.  It's always a change for the better, because the fear driven reactive behaviours have been replaced with considerate and caring behaviours. Immediately, we have a calmer environment, more conducive to meaningful communication.

If every person does this, we can not only change and improve our own life, we can change our whole world to a better place.

From where does Passion spring?

Well, I knew it was time for the next blog. Today I received a notification on my Facebook site, that Adrian, one of my sons, has set up a new Facebook page called Postcard Diary.

As many of you know, I run a Facebook page on which I post when I've written a new blog for this site.

Well today I'm going to link Adrian's Postcard Diary to this site.  Postcard Diary

I hope you'll all visit it and give him support and feedback.  

I'll be posting on my wall to notify when there's a new Postcard, so if you post a comments on my wall, could you please just click onto Postcard Diary and leave the comments there as well.  

He's enjoying your comments immensely.

I first became consciously interested in consciousness because Adrian, my eldest son, was born profoundly deaf and with Asperger's Syndrome.

I started a Psychology degree at Macquarie University in 1974.  Adrian was 4 at the time and I was trying to teach him to speak.  I'd realised that his brain worked very differently.  At that time I thought it was because, being born deaf, he'd never heard language.  That was part of it, but when he was 25 and his Asperger's was diagnosed, I realised that it was much more.

I spent 2 years at Macquarie before I dropped out due to family pressures and workload.  In that time my desire to understand consciousness and how it has developed in humanity had become a passion.

So how does all my talk about electro magnetic fields, spin, frequency, vibration and Ahau and the ancestors, relate to Downloading Spirit and my exploration of consciousness.

Let's consider what consciousness is.  Is it physical?  I don't think so.  Can we touch it, see, it hear it, in this physical world in which we live?  

No, not physically, we can't.  Yet we do not doubt it's existence.  We definitely experience it.

We've sort of put it into a box related to our brain and the mental side of our being in this world.  

Now our brain is physical, at least the physical part of it is.  But our thoughts ...

They're a bit like our consciousness and the mental side of us.  They're not physical.

Then there's our emotions and feelings ... they're not physical either.

But these things are real.  We have a mental intelligence and an emotional intelligence.  These make up a large part of who we are consciously.  They create our experience and awareness of being.  

Where are they in our physical body?

It's not as simple as being pigeon holed into our physical brain.

As for our emotions, we even physically feel their impact on different parts of our body; our stomach, our knees, our heart, our skin ... 

From these two different types of intelligence comes the thoughts and motivations that drive us to create our physical reality. 

How does all this happen?

This was the question I found myself asking over and over.

The best answer I've come up with so far, is that all this happens in the different non physical layers of our electro magnetic field that surround our physical body.

How do they get into our body?

I think our body is electrically wired to take in the non physical information of our thoughts, emotions and feelings.  This happens when they are translated through the vibrational interfaces between the layers of our electro magnetic field.  In this way they are reduced to a frequency that can pass into our electro magnetic field's etheric layer, which feeds information into our meridians and para sympathetic nervous system.  This is then absorbed into the consciousness of our physical body.

Indeed, I believe we have more than one brain, more than just 2 strand DNA, but these thoughts are for futures blogs.

To sum up for the moment, I believe our consciousness exists throughout our entire physical and non physical body.  I believe our consciousness, and all it's frequency levels, are what comprise our soul.

Humanity is currently expanding its consciousness and ability to experience these things.

It's all in my book, Downloading Spirit.

I am still waiting to hear from the other 9 publishers to whom I submitted Downloading Spirit.

It's over 2 months now.

I'm giving it 3 months.  If I haven't heard by the end of the year.  I shall self publish and get it out  as soon as possible.

Since seeing Adrian's Postcard Diary now reappearing, I'm even more frustrated with the waiting to see my book published.  

So much of our understanding of non physical consciousness comes from India and the Vedic teachings.  I'll leave you with one more photograph of Adrian's:-

Please support Adrian and Postcard Diary.  Comments and feedback on his Facebook Page mean so much to him.  Postcard Diary

Artists and writers thrive on feedback.  They like constructive criticism and love to know that people think their work is good.  It's the reward that sustains them, and feeds their creative drive.

Spin.

This blog evolved from a discussion with my grandson when he was asking me questions about my book, Downloading Spirit.  Much that we spoke about centred on the world in which we live.  Living a good life and trying to  "Walk our talk".

We discussed my earlier blogs where I've talked about energy, vibrations, electro magnetic fields.  We considered Ahau and the ancestors.


It's not easy, and it's often confusing.  Not sure if I make it any easier when I explain a person's electro magnetic field, and how it works ... there are so many things to bring together.

An old song explains it pretty well ... "round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel ..."
These lyrics of "Windmills of your Mind" -  explains the mechanics pretty well.  It works on spin.

To complicate things further, we spin not only around our central core, but anchored on our planet, we spin around our Sun, our Solar System, our Galaxy and our Universe.

This kind of spin is a  self perpetuating energy which keeps everything going eternally.

There'll be more on this in future blogs.

Where is this spin all going?  Am I, as my grandson said: "Queen Waffle" or am I putting something forward that is taking us somewhere?  Am I bringing a better understanding of who we are and how we relate to and function in our world?

I'm trying to take us somewhere.  Somewhere some of us may not want to go.
I'm trying to open people's thinking to a new mindset as our world spins into a new age.
This change in our way of thinking is inevitable.

I'm on my way, full of excitement and wonder, like Alice in Wonderland.  But we can't go there together unless you want to come along.  Understanding what is happening and having a clearer idea of the systems involved makes the transition easier.

Our world is changing.  We live in one of the most exciting and amazing times that has ever been.  What's more we are conscious of it.  Some of us are conscious of our consciousness evolving.  We're not going to ascend into the ether and disappear to who knows where, as some "New Age" thinkers seem to believe.  No, we're going to stay here, anchored firmly onto this beautiful planet Earth, and learn to consciously create what we think.

In 2012 our lives here on Earth will not cease.  Our world will not end.  People will not cease to exist.  But the structure that keeps our present world running will change.  It is already changing.  The way people think will be forever different.

Time will tell if I'm right or not, but I believe our political, religious, economic and social structures will undergo radical change.  I believe the power structure, currently in the midst of change, will be completely different.  The way we live will be simpler.  At the same time, progressively, all of us shall have more of what we truly need.  There is nothing to fear, but we do need to change and adapt.

Our world has to change in order to effectively deal with all the issues that this young lady raised when she addressed the UN in 2008 and briefly made the world think.

As she said, those who are our leaders should set the example when they ask us to behave according to the highest standards.  Yet, hypocritically, many do not act as they speak.

They do not walk their talk.  

Everywhere, people are now speaking out.  Dictators are falling.  The people of the Middle East and North Africa are clamouring for democracy.  The Euro and the Eurozone are under threat.  In the USA and other countries, people are occupying Wall Street to protest on the injustices of the economic structure and the greed of the banks and financial institutions.  The Earth is protesting with natural disasters.

Change is already happening.  Our world is spinning into a new reality.

We want a world with no poverty.  A world where everyone is free, has a home, enough food, education and work.  A world where each person can fulfill their reason for being, and shine their light, living with no frustration or suppression.

When this happens, there is no need for envy, greed, war; no need for the injustices and wrongs that plague our world today.  There is no need for any more fear.

Walk through your fear with me.  

Understand how amazing we all are.  

Walk your talk and create your dream.

Only if each of us does  this, only if  we walk our talk and speak our truth can we create a better world. 

Ancestors - Self - Children & Descendants.

Our ancestors are here with us now - we have our memories and our family tree.

They are in us, in our DNA and our cellular memory.

But let's consider - are our descendants here with us now?  

If we can do past life regressions, can we do future life progressions?

Can we create our future as we can heal our past.  We can't change our past, but we can heal it.

As we have memories, so we have dreams.  It is in the dreamtime that we can access both past and future.

We can learn from our past.  Improve and advance our world.  We can dream of a better place.  We can create in the now.  It is these creations that we bring in that teach our children to move beyond us.  

We create what we think, what we love.  That which is a higher good for everyone.

"Do not hide your light under a bushel."  So taught the man Jesus.  "Shine your light"

Each human being has their own unique, personal light within.  Only if each light shines can we achieve the full potential of our world.  Only by doing this can each person become multidimensional and timeless.

We are all a part of this ball of light, our Universe, our Matrix.  

We are all One being.  

We all emanate from the Source within.  

We are all aspects of the Source, or if you like, God.  

A shining glowing facet of an extraordinary consciousness, which gives birth to all that is.  

As the ball turns, we witness different scenarios.

Is this time, or energy moving?  

There'll be more on this in future blogs.

I believe our non physical consciousness projects our thoughts into a physical dimension creating a movie in an illusion of time.

So, how does this work?

I think it works like this.

So if one dimension can move into another like that ... can thought create our reality ... I think so.

We really do have to learn how to consciously think.   

What do you think?
