Was Einstein A Kabbalist?

Not only was Einstein a ground breaking physicist, but clearly, he had a true understanding about not just the scientific constructs and underpinnings of the cosmos, but the spiritual ones as well.

I have no real evidence to prove this, but I think Einstein studied Kabbalah, because of the way he was able to distinguish between the illusions we create about separateness, versus true at one-ment of all things. This, I'm sure, helped make his theory of relativity possible. He realized that time and space aren't separate, but are interwoven.

If you still view everything in terms of duality -- good and evil, light and dark, etc. -- then you're still viewing the world through the illusion of separateness -- and it's very hard not to. Even the Buddha himself struggled with this, so you're in good company! It wasn't until he remembered a time during his youth, when his father took him to a planting festival. As the villagers started digging into the earth to begin planting seeds, he felt great sadness and pain when he thought about all the insects who would be either killed, or displaced, because their earthly homes were being torn asunder by the all the digging.

Why did the Buddha feel sorry for bugs?! Because at that moment, he realized EVERYTHING is connected. It's that inner knowledge that came forth. It had been sublminated for so long. He was so busy searching outside of himself, and trying every method he could find, including aestheticism -- literally fasting to the point of death. This memory, long locked away, was what brought about his awakening. A very simple observation, but like the Buddha in his early years -- we make it so hard and difficult. Once he let go of everything; all the struggle -- enlightenment came.

Einstein was a prolific daydreamer. It was through a daydream about a bus he would see on it's daily route, that he made his great realization about the theory of relativity. Daydreams served as Einstein's meditation.

Whether he studied Kabbalah, or not, he created a connection between himself and the universe, through his observations of the world around him, and beyond. Actually, I should say, he realized the existence of the connection that was already there between all of us, and all that surrounds us -- seen and unseen, known and unknown.

Kabbalah isn't just the study and memorization of spheres, or angelic and god names. It's the examination and observation of the universe and creation itself, and how we fit in. Once you study Kabbalah for awhile, you realize that they aren't just 10 spheres, but that in actuality, there are worlds within these spheres and that the spheres aren't separate realms, but are, in a larger framework, interconnected and interwoven -- just like time and space.

I want to note that although I use the word universe, that in truth, the cosmos is a multiverse. Many worlds, and realms within worlds exist -- into infinity. Einstein knew these truths, because of his daydreams and observations. This is the true meaning of being in tune. Not just sitting at home in a yogic pose with your eyes closed. It means truly observing everything around you and relating it back to yourself, back and forth, over and over -- every day, every moment. Always observing and processing -- in other words, mindfulness.

Only someone who is truly in tune and connected can experience these truths. When we become engrossed in our own little worlds and dramas, we don't see the larger perspective. When we awaken, we expand. Never stop looking, or working towards true understanding -- first of yourself, then of the multiverse. It's part of the Great Work, our quest and our contribution towards the collective. As we individually break down barriers, advance and awaken -- we enable others to do the same, and clear the way for them. Strive on!

Two Letters That Changed My Life Forever -- MS

I just realized that, ironically, it's been a year since my last post. So much has happened to me during this time, that it bears some explaining. I'm not sure if anyone I know personally will even read this, but regardless, it's my hope that anyone facing health challenges will be encouraged by these words.

As some of you know, I have been dealing with some major health issues. I have had 3 surgeries in the last 3 years, along with an assortment of ailments like IBS, diverticulitis, and endometriosis.

Normally, on this blog, I discuss magic and spirituality -- but the subject of my health is unavoidable. It has affected every area of my life imaginable.

My health has steadily declined over the last 5 years. I am in constant pain everyday -- my arms, legs, hands, feet and back in particular. My mobility has become severely limited. I walk with a cane and need a wheelchair when going out to places where walking is necessary -- I just plain can't do it. So I get one of those cool placards that enables us to get all the prime parking spots. Often times, I need help to shower and get dressed, along with help with the housework. This has been difficult for someone like me, who has always been so independent, but I have come to accept what is.

All this time, I have been told that I have Fibromyalgia. In fact, 2 seperate Rheumatologists diagnosed me -- but my higher self knew better. This underscores the importance of daily self inquiry and being tuned in through prayer and meditation. So I kept pushing for more answers, going to multiple doctors -- all of them insisting that all I had was Fibromyalgia, until finally, a test that revealed what I had sensed for so long-- something seriously wrong. An abnormal MRI of my brain that showed several lesions -- in other words, Multiple Sclerosis.

I have known for a couple of months now, and have debated whether or not to let everyone know. I am still waiting for my appointment with the Neurologist to get an official diagnosis, but all the hallmarks of MS are there -- the issues with balance and coordination, frequent migraines, tingling, pain and numbness in my hands and feet, the necessity of using a cane to walk, and difficulty doing most normal things, that when healthy, we all take for granted.

I just want to get all this out of the way, so I can get back to writing about spirituality and magic -- but I felt it was necessary to explain my absence and what I have been dealing with on a daily basis. In spite of my health issues, I have found ways and methods of continuing to accomplish my spiritual goals. Regardless of health problems, I must finish what I started. Those of you on the same path will understand the importance of this. It's an inner urging that, in spite of all the pain and illness, keeps telling me to go forward as best as I can manage. I have come too far along the path of initiation to just give up.

Now that that's out of the way -- more posts about magic, Kabbalah, and spirituality will be forthcoming. The fact that I have MS is just a higher difficulty level, much like a video game. However, that doesn't mean everything is going to be about my illness, or else it will totally change the context of this blog. I simply want to prove to, not only all of you reading, but myself, that in spite of having health issues and being compromised physically, one can accomplish great and wonderful things for themselves and others.

The Keys to the Kingdom

Although it would appear that I've been inactive of late, a lot has been going on. At the present, I am battling some health issues which have culminated into a surgery scheduled for next month. As a result, I may be incommunicado for a bit. However my work on the inner planes continues along. I have made many insights which are personal, but I would like to convey the importance of doing inner work -- thus achieving self realization.

Magic and spell work has been my focus for more than two decades. There comes a time along the path of the magician that a fork appears in the road, or perhaps what might even be perceived for some as an impasse. I have proven to myself that I am more than capable and proficient at manifesting situations and outcomes. Eventually, this no longer satisfies, at least not for me. What I'm saying is that at some point, the desire to go deeper and uncover the source of this process comes to the fore. Namely, self inquiry or the quest to discover your true or higher self and our connection to the source and creator of all things. The path of the magician converges with the path of the mystic.....

I'm not criticizing those who choose the path of the magician. Magic and spell work is what brought me where I am today, both inwardly and outwardly. In fact, I still practice magic, but the work is done mentally. I made this adjustment because of my health issues. It is what is known as psi magic/k. The ritual is done mentally, rather than physically. After all, the secret of a successful ritual isn't the candles, incense, sword and dagger. The real magic comes from within you. Ritual has always been a sort of psychological exercise to manufacture the needed energy and strength of purpose necessary for a successful outcome. I started by performing the Qabbalistic Cross and LBRP mentally. Projecting an image of myself in my mind's eye performing each step. This is very useful to enhancing your clairvoyant capabilities and aids you in truly visualizing, hearing and feeling the presence of the angels. Sometimes the physical movements can be a distraction to the seeing and the feeling. It's a lot to coordinate all these features at once. Give it a try and note if you're better able to perceive the spirits through a mental ritual. It certainly worked for me. I now do all my work this way.

Back now to the mystical aspect of the path.... I am here to give advice based on what my experience of 25 plus years has shown me. This path is actually much more difficult and challenging than performing magic. Sounds crazy and improbable but it's true. Examining and deconstructing yourself is a hell of a lot more work and effort. Human nature is to turn away from adversity and darker aspects of ourselves we don't want to face. I'm stressing the importance of this because I really feel that unless you do this part of the work on yourself, you are not truly performing the Great Work -- no matter how many angels and demons you've called up, how many sigils and seals you've created, or how many successful rituals you've performed. It does no good if you still allow your ego to rule you and don't recognize or perceive the difference between the ego and the real you.

Taking the time and making the effort to observe yourself, your actions and reactions to people and situations both past and present is vital. Your entire life and outlook will change as a result and most likely a great percentage of your ritual and spell work will decrease. Why? Because much of what you perceive to be faulty or lacking in your life will be taken care of through this self observation work. You will discover cycles and patterns that manifest themselves as problems. As magicians, sometimes we're too quick to rush off to a ritual to fix something when all that is really needed is observation and adjustment of behaviors and traits. This is the underlying reason why some aren't successful or proficient in magic. Their perception of people and events is skewed. Then, they deplete their energy performing spells and rites that are never meant to work. Your HGA knows why -- do you? Are you listening? Inner work will connect you to your HGA more effectively than Liber Samekh alone. It's through this inner observation that you will best be able to heed the advice of your HGA. It is through this inner work that the sacred marriage can take place and only until that time will you be merged together. Until then, you're working with the HGA as an outside entity or force. There will always exist a sort of disconnect and your work and development will suffer for it. It is imperative that you entrust yourself to your HGA. If you're always trying to take the reigns via ritual or earthly action without listening, you will constantly run into a wall or hit a plateau where no further progress will be permitted for your own benefit and safety.

Inner work may not be as sexy and exciting as magic, but it truly is the key to the kingdom and will help you to reach the pinnacle, or in qabbalistic terms, Keter and even beyond. Until this is done, you have not truly crossed the abyss. You're merely standing at the threshold staring out into the darkness. There is no way but through. It can be painful and unpleasant to put it mildly. You may re-live some events from your past that you buried away. You will encounter all of your weaknesses and inferior traits. Jesus' trial in the desert was his abyss. You will never know true freedom and peace until you walk into the darkness. Your HGA never leaves you. This is only a perception. However, it's up to you whether to fight or flee. In alchemical terms the dross must be removed to discover the gold within. Until then, you're only working with pyrite.

Angels: Your Guides to Esoteric and Personal Wisdom

There is something of great importance that I touched upon in my last post regarding discovering and working with your Holy Guardian Angel or HGA. There are many methods available to achieve this, most notably Liber Samekh or what is known as The Bornless Ritual. I'm not going to include the ritual itself here, because it's readily available if you Google it. This is the most formal way to invoke your HGA and it is a beautifully written piece. However, there are other less formal methods which can be equally as effective. Here's a little secret about magick and invocation that some practitioners don't know. It's not about the incense, candles, robes, or wands. These are simply props that enable you to temporarily leave your worldly identity and assume the identity of "Master Mage". It's not even necessarily the words you utter. The key is the intention. If you are confident and truly desire to connect with your HGA, you simply cannot fail. If you are apprehensive, fearful, or too skeptical you will indeed fail. It's that simple. The same holds true for any spell or ritual that you wish to perform. A great deal of success and magical ability lies in knowing EXACTLY what you wish to achieve. This may sound like a no brainer, but it's vitally important.

What I really want to discuss in this post is not magick or ritual, but the Angels themselves. I cannot state enough how important they are to our evolution as spiritual beings and how vital they have been to my own personal evolution and magical path. Many think of Angels as messengers, but that is not their only function. They are our connection and link to the Creator, God, the Source, or whatever you'd like to call Him. God is simply too vast for us to know on a personal basis. In fact God can be quite impersonal and the true nature of God is simply unknowable, as expressed in Kabbalah. Some may argue this point and say, "I pray and talk to God. Yes, I do have a connection to Him." -- but having a connection to God and knowing God are not synonymous. It is an aspect of God that you are experiencing, not the entirety of the being that is God and these aspects are expressed through the Angels.

The very names of the Angels bear this out. Most angelic names end in the letters el, which means "of God" or the letters on, which means great; for example, the Angels Metatron and Sandalphon. Thus you have Raphael, the root name Rapha or Rafa which means "to heal" and the suffix el, "of God" -- thus Raphael's name means "Healer of God" or  "God has healed" and Michael whose name means, "who is like God". When you think of the angelic names and the Angels themselves in the context of being aspects of God, you begin to gain an ability to create a frame of reference and a better understanding of not only the sheer vastness of God, (as there are innumerable Angels), but just how complex a being God is!

I hope you can see now the importance of the Angels in not only their ability to help us establish a connection with God, but also a greater understanding of (for lack of a better word), personality of God. Actually, the sense that we are disconnected from God is simply a misperception on our part. What we are actually doing is creating a conscious connection to God through the Angels. They help us not only in our spiritual evolution, but with worldly concerns such as relationships, career, health, etc. They can open so many doors for us. God in His infinite wisdom created the Angels to act as intermediaries and conduits to Himself and the Cosmic forces of nature and the universe. Communicating and working with the Angels is an invaluable tool to understanding ourselves, why we are here, our life's purpose, and the nature of God and the inner and outer workings of Creation.

Also know that the Angels are indeed for the time being in our evolution, higher beings, but that both they and we, are created from the same spark. I like to view them as my brothers and I work with them under that context. They are not to be worshipped and do not ask or require that we do so. We are all evolving and growing, as are the Angels. I believe as the human, earthly experience and society in which we live change, the Angels have learned to adapt and hone their teaching skills. Some have even picked up on a bit of the more modern vernacular! They are learning too :-)  Indeed each have their own personalities and ways in which they prefer to work with you. I have read of accounts from other fellow magicians that the Angels can be stern and unfriendly. For the most part, I have not experienced this, although when I have been stubborn they certainly let me know! Mostly, I have found the vast majority of them to be supremely loving, supportive and infinitely patient.

If you are still struggling with big questions like, "Why am I here?", or keep running into the same problems or issues in your  life, then working with the Angels will most definitely be of benefit to you. There are a glut of books on the market about Angels -- most of them are truly awful! They're what I like to call, "Fluffy New Age Bullshit" :-)  It's obvious in a lot of these books that the authors have no clue about Kabbalah, Neo-Platonism, or initiatic science. These long standing teachings are the backbone of an initiate's spiritual journey. The Angels are not going to give you all the answers. You must have at least an introductory knowledge of one or all of these, or you will be missing the bigger picture. The seeker has to have an expanded enough consciousness in order to obtain higher knowledge. For instance, Doreen Virtue's books will give you ways to get started in the most basic sense of learning how to communicate with the Angels. She also suggests using automatic writing, which can be a portal for low level spirits -- a method I do not recommend. It's an overly simplistic view of the Angels and how to work with them, which is what many of these books are guilty of. The novice is unaware of potential dangers that exist when opening yourself up to spiritual communication of any kind. This is where initiatic science and Kabbalah and it's teachings about qlippotic or nasty beings comes in. All the best intentions in the world cannot save somebody who has no knowledge or experience of how to protect themselves. This seems like a contradiction of what I stated earlier about intention, but it is intention plus knowledge that is the key to not only success, but safety. This information is not to be found in New Age books, not to mention anything about about the heavenly hierarchies or methods by which to influence or change circumstances around you. Only the Kabbalah or initiatic sciences can give you that. Likewise, you will not have access to any of the higher realms. Why hang around in the lobby when there are so many areas of the heavenly and astral "rooms" to explore? For this reason, I have some book/author suggestions for those of you looking for "The Real Deal", when it comes to learning about and experiencing these realms and higher states of being. These suggestions are by no means exhaustive either. I read sometimes up to 3 books a week, sometimes 2 at a time -- lol! What ends up happening is I'll be reading something and it will then inspire other questions within me, which then leads to another book and so on.

Omraam Mikhail Aivanhov was a both a student and master of initiatic science, a kabbalist and a magician. The first book I ever read by him is called "Angels and Other Mysteries of the Tree of Life". I cannot begin to tell you how great this book is! Even if you don't really have a working knowledge of Kabbalah or the Tree of Life, I highly suggest you check this out. It's available in e book format. If you like this book, he has many others which are all great. He was not an author, but gave lectures which were then compiled. The books are done very well, so it will feel like you're reading an authored book and not something that was piece mealed or slapped together.

Another suggestion are 2 books by the author Migene Gonzalez-Wippler: "The Kabbalah and Magic of Angels" available in e book format and "Return of the Angels" which is an oldie in print format only. I found a super cheap ($8 including s&h) copy on Amazon. She, like Aivanhov, writes from the Kabbalistic perspective regarding the Angels and how to work with them.

For those interested in a more Christian/world religion viewpoint, there is a great book called "World of Angels" by George E. Yurchison. He covers Angels through both the bible and the Apocryphal books of the bible, as well as Zoroastrianism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism to name a few. It is one of the most comprehensive books about Angels I have ever read and that's saying a lot, because I am a voracious reader! There are some concepts in his book I do not agree with, but this doesn't take away from the fact that it is still a wonderful book. It can get a bit dry in spots, because it is so comprehensive, but stick with it. If you really want to learn about the Angels it's worth it.

Where You At?

It has been quite awhile since my last post. I've been doing A LOT of reading, research, inner assessment and analysis. At some juncture, I may put together a reading list. Not to encourage others to believe as I do, but to perhaps lend a hand to anyone who may be in search of a more complete picture of the Creation and our role in it. I warn you though, I read about a lot of varying belief systems. Mainly because it's my wish to obtain as full of a picture as possible.

Inner analysis is never a fun task, but it is indeed a necessary one if you hope to advance both inwardly and outwardly in your life path and the world at large. It's a tricky thing, fraught with danger. Not to over dramatize the process, but it really is a matter of tearing oneself down to the core and then a further process of putting yourself back together. No one likes  to look at or admit their frailties. Then there is the danger of focusing in on them to the extent that you miss the forest for the trees. This is where a guide is needed -- your Holy Guardian Angel (HGA), spirit guide, ascended master, or whomever it is that you trust to help you sort through the rubble and dross to find the gold as it were. If you don't know who your guardian or HGA is, or if you don't have a spiritual or earthly teacher who can help support and guide you, I highly suggest that you that you establish such a relationship before embarking on any sort of deep inner analysis. Without such a trusted partner in place, you open yourself up to potentially a very depressed state of hopelessness from which you might be unable to extricate yourself alone. To be sure, you will experience a very low state, even with a guide or teacher. They cannot and will not shield you from this. It's just something that you have to experience in order to truly learn and grow. That's the unavoidable bummer stuff, but then comes the great stuff afterward -- the gold underneath the dross; the alchemical process that quite honestly sucks, but then when the gold of your true self and universal truth emerges.... man!


This is a process I started some time ago, but due to health issues I was unable to continue for a time. I was stuck and it really sucked to be quite honest. I knew there was more to be done and was simply unable to keep going. So I read voraciously and took a cue from Abramelin  -- "Enflame thyself with prayer". Inwardly, if you are completely honest with yourself, you know you're in a shitty state and either you will fight to go forward and emerge or you will stay stuck. It's your choice. Some stay stuck because for them it is easier than to continue or in error you may get to a place where you think you have effectively dealt with all your inner junk, but then there will come a little reminder to put you back in your place! The process is slow. There is no "instant enlightenment". That's a ploy to sell books or attain followers. Enlightenment is not an ever abiding blissful state where you are always happy. That's just bullshit. In fact, it's can be a bit of a let down for some who were under the misassumption stated previously. It's not even a big "bam" event, really. It's just a sort of  "Ah, now I get it" sort of event where a lot of things that you learned previously start to fall into place and connect.

You'll notice that I used the word enlightenment. In case you haven't caught on, that is what this process is, but some may not be aware of this because enlightenment has largely been portrayed as something it is not. There are no flashes of insight that answer every question you've ever had. Even if you've attained the oft lauded Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, you have not made it yet and you still have LOTS of work to do. "You just haven't earned it yet, baby." It is what it is folks. Your HGA is not going to give you all the answers and I have news for you -- if you think that some "benevolent" force has just given you all the answers, think again.... "you better check yoself before you wreck yoself" -- seriously. You may be under the influence of something presenting itself as something that it is not. Something quite un-benelovent or even downright nefarious. You have to find the answers and put things together on your own and likewise, I'm not going to give you the answers here, so no spoilers! When you first experience enlightenment, it's tempting to want to tell others what you've found at the top of the mountain, but you must keep in mind that each is on their own path and must find their own ultimate truth. By the way, I'm not blogging about this to brag or to show off. Only to help clarify what enlightenment is, what it's not, and some tips for your journey. This is not for everyone by the way. If you are truly content with yourself and your life I would totally advise against this process. It's tough and it sucks and I am not understating this. I did it because I knew there were things I wanted to correct about myself and because I knew that "the truth was out there". Actually, that's a lie. The truth really is within yourself. If you are seeking it from someone else or from a source outside of yourself, you have indeed missed the forest for the trees and you're wasting your time -- just sayin'. Enlightenment does not bestow perfection either, it is an ongoing process of evolution and many enlightened people still possess egocentric flaws. It's the paradox of exisiting as a spiritual being in a physical realm and what Crowley, for instance meant when he said that he returned to don the persona of "Aleister Crowley". We still retain the ego in order to interact with the everything in the physical realm. It's the awareness of this that separates the enlightened from the un-enlightened.

The key is to check, check again and then re-check. I am a skeptic by nature, so I do this a lot! I ask my HGA tons of questions. Sometimes he answers directly, other times I get replies through "synchronatic" events. Always check your progress, assess how you're feeling, why you're feeling the way you do, and how to take what you have learned thus far and apply it to any given circumstance. You may have heard of the term "armchair magician".  Likewise there are "armchair mystics". It's no good attaining knowledge and then only keeping it locked away. You must put it to use. As Aleister Crowley said, "Success be thy proof". What is working for you? What isn't? Why? Always take stock of yourself. It sounds self centered, but it must be done. If more people would take stock of themselves and operate through this self awareness, the world would be a much different place!

The Restoration

Admittedly, my last post was a bit on the stern side. It's only because I know we are all capable of being better and doing better than what we are now and what we have in the past. I mentioned the process of Creation, and herein lies the key to the point that I am trying to drive home. Criticism isn't constructive if the source of the issue isn't explained. Some of you may be familiar with the Tree of Life, but for the sake of being clear, it's Kabbalah 101 time. I have to set the scene and provide a bit of background, so bear with me a bit...

Before the Big Bang, or the manifestation of our universe, God did not exist -- God simply "was".

The Tree of Life, or ToL as I will refer to it for brevity's sake, consists of 10 spheres. Each is a level of manifestation of God and the Creation itself. Above the ToL are 3 veils of negative existence -- Ain (that which is nothing or no-thing, Ain Soph (Divine force without limit) and Ain Soph Aur (limitless light). They're referred to as negative existence because they are outside our perception and unable to be understood through our normal frame of reference in the material world. The 3 veils are abstract concepts and not easily relateable or described by words, but hey, we try!

When God initially set about the manifestation process, a beam of light was sent out through the darkness. As this light pierced the veils and began to create the spheres, it's force was so great that a shattering or splintering of light occurred. These shards of light fell to the base of the tree and are what is known as Qlippoth, meaning shells or husks (there is also a Qlippothic tree, but we won't delve too deeply into that here). This process of creation took place 4 times. Thus, there are actually 4 celestial worlds: Aziluth--Emanation (where Ain Soph is still united with its source -- God unmanifest or nameless), Ber'iah--Creation (God's throne, along with the highest ranking angels otherwise known as Angels of the Presence), Yetzitah--Formation (where the remainder of the angels reside) and Assiah--Action, which is our physical world and the sphere of Malkuth.

Our sphere of Malkuth is the crown, or top sphere of the Qlippothic tree. Remember those fallen angels who rebelled against God? They are below us relative to the center of the Earth. So guess what? We're surrounded by this Qlippothic energy -- yuck! But have no fear, because God has given us the tools to transform these chaotic and dark energies into light, through our ability to reason and think, and our helpers in this process, the angels. Thus, what is called the restoration or Tikkun ia the process of restoring the world as God intended it to be.

Ever wondered why we're here? We're here for the restoration. It's our job to restore all those little shards that fell, back to their rightful place or source with God. Until we get it right and everything is restored, we have to keep coming back to Malkuth to continue the process. Hence, the cycle of birth, death and re-birth, or reincarnation. I don't know about you, but I want off this crazy ride! It takes MANY souls just to restore just ONE spark of light... so we've got our work cut out for us!

How do we take part in the great restoration? We start by understanding that like it or not, we are our brother's keeper. We are each responsible for our thoughts and actions because it is these very thoughts and actions that affect us all. Do we fight darkness and evil with more darkness and evil, or do we take the high road and use the forces of love and light to uplift not only ourselves and our loved ones, but the world as a whole? We are not seperate. This is only a perception, and a false one at that. We are all connected because we all came from the same source. Neither are we seperate from God. It only seems that way. God is manifest right here in Malkuth. His imprint is embedded in everything around us and within us as well. God is within your very DNA! Everything is made up of energy -- no exceptions! Some things vibrate a very fast or high energy and others vibrate more slowly, but all contain in their blueprint God energy.

Those who commit terrible or selfish acts drive the sparks down farther. They are at the beginning of their evolution or first incarnation and are still acting out of a more animalistic state. Those who act out of love and compassion and who think of others before themselves are at a higher state of their evolution. It is up to those of us who are at these higher levels to be cognizant of our role and our duty to humanity. Quite simply, when we act as our higher selves, we help to restore these sparks of light.

Be mindful of your thoughts and actions at all times. Easier said than done, I know, but the stakes couldn't be higher than they are right now at this juncture of our evolution. I confess that at times I feel overwhelmed, because I know the process -- the who, what, why, where and when and what it could mean not only for myself, but all of us if we don't succeed in this restoration process. I'm not a doomsday advocate, but the state of our world will only spiral down further if we do not make any effort to change the course we're on. I don't think I need to spell it out for you -- read the headlines or watch the news, but not too much or else you'll make yourself crazy!

If we each do our part, the task won't be nearly as daunting as it seems. When you have a quiet moment, visualize our globe and think of peace, think of love, think of a beautiful white light surrounding and permeating the Earth and all its inhabitants. Some may say that this is idealistic and won't change anything, but one careful look at our present way of living will tell you that what we're doing now ain't working!

 Remember who and what you are. Step outside of yourself and your own little world and become a soldier of light! Refuse to allow our world to become a haven of chaos and fear! Your guns cannot protect you -- the true weapon against hate, evil and darkness is love. It was because of love that God created the universe -- so that He could more fully experience love outside of Himself. What do we give in return? Be honest! If you gave someone your love and it wasn't returned, how would you feel? Return God's love to Him. Never again should you ever feel that you serve no purpose or feel alone. Be a force for good, for light, for peace. Take your rightful place with Him and help to restore the world. I hope to see you there!

The End Times Are Here, The Sky Is Falling & Humanity Is Doomed

Now that I have your attention...

As a result of the senseless tragedy in Boston yesterday, many are quoting scripture, referencing the Book of Revelations and are preparing for the worst. In doing so, what people don't realize is that fatalistic thoughts are just as dangerous as the bombs that exploded yesterday.

I'm about to impart some sacred occult knowledge on you, so take note and then put it into practice starting now. Thoughts are things. Starting on the mental plane, taking shape and form on the astral plane, until they become manifest in the physical plane. It is how God brought about the creation of our world and made creation manifest from the ineffable "nothingness" to every rock, tree, body of water, critter, on down to you and I. In a future blog, I will further expound on and explain this process. For right now, I want to illustrate to you how creation works so that you can understand the importance of your thoughts and how they are indeed real.

This is the gift God gave us -- the ability to create. This is also the little secret behind how magic and manifestation works. Told you I was going to drop some knowledge on you! So all those who are thinking the worst and saying that the end times are here -- guess what? You are in part responsible for events such as yesterday. The world and the people and events in it respond in kind to your thoughts. When you have thoughts about strangling your boss or harming someone, these thoughts are then deposited into the collective consciousness. You may say, "Well big deal, it's not like I actually killed anyone", but you see, you have a modicum of self control. However, there are individuals who have no self control who are subconsciously picking up these thoughts and energies from the collective consciousness and then acting on them -- and I say you have a modicum of self control because if you had enough self mastery, you wouldn't be having those thoughts in the first place! Control your anger. Have restraint. Don't be weak -- be strong, be better than those who anger you or else you are lowering yourself to their level and going backward when in truth you want to go forward.

So then, what is the answer? Start thinking productively! Each day send out loving thoughts, not just to those you know and love, but to the world and everyone in it. Send healing thoughts to the Earth so that she may be healed. The Earth is alive. A living force that needs our help. The catastrophic weather we keep having is a result of the negativity and turmoil in our world. The Earth can only absorb so much negativity until she feels the need to re-balance and re-align herself.

I know you might wonder how thoughts can help change things. Just stop and think for a moment. Is your life as you wish it to be? Is the world as you wish it to be? Have your thoughts and worries about not having enough money, enough love, enough peace brought you these things you desire, or have they become self fulfilling prophecies?
