Dr. Masaru Emoto - Water Crystals

Born in Yokoham, Japan, Masaru Emoto graduated from Yokohama Municipal University with courses in International Relations, and in 1992 he received certification as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine from the Open International University for Alternative Medicine in India, an unaccredited institute with minimal academic requirements.

Dr. Emoto is President Emeritus of the International Water For Life, a not for profit company based in Oaklahoma City, founded in 2005. He has three children and is married to Kazuko Emoto.

In the book, The Miracle of Water, Dr. Emoto demonstrates how water's unique role in transporting the natural vibration of these words can help you welcome change and live a more positive and happy life.

From this knowledge, he draws out lessons that we can apply to our lives to reap the benefits of positive resonance, including more harmonious relationships, restored health, and improved communications.

Soul Trickster

Many people find the trickster intriguing.

The trickster character appears in the narratives of many Native people throughout North America as well as in much of the rest of the world. Even in our own culture people catch glimmers of the trickster in characters like Br'er Rabbit, Wily Coyote, and Bugs Bunny. 

It's difficult to pin down the trickster to any fixed set of characteristics or given forms. 

Part of his/her attraction is defiance of classification and analysis. Sometimes the trickster appears as human, sometimes as animal. 

The most popular animal forms trickster takes are coyote, raven, and hare.

The "trickster" plays tricks and is the victim of tricks. The trickery of such stories extends as well to symbolic play regarding cultural forms, rules, and worldview.

The Soul Trickster exists “betwixt and between.” life and death; angels, ghosts, inter-dimensional beings and UFOs all are between the heavens and the earth, so to speak.  This is why we have shamans, mediums, and priests; they are considered to be the mediators between this world and the next.

Greek legend has it... the god Hermes was the guide of spirits, or souls.

In ancient Greek stories Hermes is also the Trickster (Tarot) or a thief, inventor, con-artist, magician but more importantly...an escort of the spirits to the underworld. Hermes is often symbolized as a pile of stones placed at a crossroads.

Hermes crossed our worlds...between the underworld, and our earthly world. His representation is – a guardian of ALL boundaries. I believe Hermes is placed as a "marker" of an enclosed space....like as with a Director of a Play.

Now, here is the question....

"Why would you take direction from a "con-artist" standing at a crossroads"?

The Mayan Calendar and The Transformation of Consciousness

Carl Johan Calleman. wrote the book "The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness."

The prophetic Mayan calendar is not keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. Instead, it functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how spiritual time flows - providing a new science of time.

Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the evolution of consciousness driving human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

This book reflects one of the greatest changes in human thinking ever to have taken place, one that unifies Western and Eastern thinking.

The Mayan Calendar provides a common perspective on the emrgence of all human religions and achools of thought. As the true meaning of the Calendar is solved it becomes clear that we are living in a creation that evolves according to a pre-set schedule provided by the Mayan Calendar, aiming at completion on October 28, 2011. 

What makes this book unique and powerful is that it is based on the established factual basis of modern science. It presents a perspective that not only unifies all the modern branches of science but unifies science with religion as well. It scientifically proves the existence of a cosmic plan in whose evolution we are all taking part, and also of God her/himself. 

The message of The Mayan Calendar is crucial to everyone alive: human life has a higher purpose and we may all live so as to fulfill this. 

The Mayan calendar is associated with nine creation cycles, which represent nine levels of consciousness or Underworlds as symbolized by the Mayan pyramids. This pyramidal structure of consciousness development can explain things as disparate as the common origin of world religions and the modern complaint that time seems to be moving faster. 

Time, in fact, is speeding up as we transition from the materialist Planetary Underworld that still governs us to a new and higher frequency of consciousness, the Galactic Underworld, in preparation for the final Universal level of conscious Enlightenment. 

The Mayan calendar is thus a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the evolution of consciousness driving human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this cosmic evolution toward Enlightenment. 

Most who had written previously about the Calendar have used it primarily as a focal point to somehow prove the predictions of a coming Biblical "Doomsday" and the destruction of the Earth and humankind. 

I highly recommend this book, if for no other reason than to see an more positive interpretation of the Calendar. It shifts the whole dynamic and gives a greater comprehension concerning things as they have been, as they are, and as they seem to be unfolding. 

I know some readers are also looking for definitive "prophetic" revelations, but I think that is perhaps a misguided endeavor (as we can so readily see by all the doomsdayers running amuck). I really resonate with the idea that the cycles Calleman explains are not "circular", but rather like a "spiral" coming to an ultimate elevating conclusion.

The Holographic Universe

The Holographic Universe is a "must read" for anyone with an open, inquiring mind and a curiosity about the cosmos in which we reside. Talbot has a talent for presenting complex subjects in layman's terms, yet make it interesting reading.

While some of the topics may at first glance appear intimidating, I must admit, it was a difficult beginning, but once you get through the first chapter, it becomes quite readable and understandable. I'm definitely not saying that the The Holographic Universe is light reading. You are likely to find the material presented here absolutely astonishing. I personally guarantee that it will change the way you look at disease to a simple wart.

The ramifications for humanity are staggering as this book seriously challenges the basis for our cultural view of reality: materialism. After reading The Holographic Universe, you will understand why so many people are starting to say that a paradigm shift in our science and culture is at hand. Science is searching for its soul; while spirituality seeks intellegence.

This notion of the interconnectedness of all things is at the heart of the Holographic Universe theory. The nature of a hologram is such that any part of the hologram contains all the information of the whole of it. And therein lies the key to one of the most baffling and intriguing phenomena of human experience; namely "synchronicity". The famous Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, gave us that term many years ago. Synchronicity might be well described as "meaningful coincidence". However, in the case of synchronicity, the word "coincidence" must not be confused with random chance.

When a true synchronicity occurs it seems that there might be something much more profound taking place. It's a moment, often times seemingly all too brief, when our consciousness opens the door to let in a glimpse of the hologram at work.

Talbot notes that Dr. F. David Peat, a Canadian physicist and author of The Bridge Between Matter and Mind, says that such coincidences are actually "flaws in the fabric of reality".

Talbot adds to Peat's comment by saying, "They reveal that our thought processes are much more connected to the physical world than has been hitherto suspected."

I was given a death sentence over 20 years ago when I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. After reading this book, I can fully understand how and why I am still here and healthy. Mind you, I've not been on any prescription drugs in over 8 years.

I don't even take aspirin.

I'll share one of the stories:

Maps of Consciousness

Are you sleepwalking your life away?

For me, having some sort of map has proven itself very helpful in identifying where I currently stand in my pursuit of growth, as I become more and more conscious of my reactions toward life events and what they represent.  

I accept my limitations.

Having a map empowers us to try and live consciously every day.  This map lists all the different levels of consciousness attainable, thus serving as a critical framework for conscious living. Without knowing the highest end state of consciousness we can attain, we can only be making baby steps of progress and not be optimizing our full potential. But having clarity of the different levels of consciousness provides us with the full context of growth. By knowing the other levels ahead, we are more able to comprehend how limiting our current level of consciousness is, what we should be striving toward and the highest end point we can reach. While we can debate on whether Hawkin’s is fully valid or exhaustive, the map definitely provides us a very good reference point to start with.

Being conscious is more than just being physically awake.

It is also more than just being aware. 

Awareness typically refers to knowingness at the mental level, while consciousness is a state of knowingness that encompasses all mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves. 

To be conscious is to have awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions, own existence, sensations, and surroundings.

All during the Ages, man has devised ways to free his consciousness from exterior limitations. These ancient ways are now used by those who have awakened to spirituality.

In this book there are two full chapters dedicated to the explanation of the methodology, testing and interpretation.

The map of consciousness was developed via Kinesiology , or muscle testing.  From this test, a scale of consciousness / energy level was calibrated, from 0 all the way to the highest end of 1000 points. Within this scale, there are a total of 17 different levels of consciousness demarcated by different points on the scale. Moving from 0 to 1000 mark a progression in the change of one’s world view from a fear-based consciousness, to a love-based consciousness.

The highest attainable level is enlightenment at 1000.

The book also shows how to use these ways, and why they operate as 'maps of consciousness'.

I Ching - Revered by the Chinese as the oldest and wisest book in the world, it offers us a momentary glimpse into the world of constancy-in-change.

Tantra - The medieval Indian celebration of the union of male and female energies through the exaltation of sensation perception.

Tarot - The cards that act as ageless, culture-transcending mirrors, resonating to show us unthinkable things within ourselves as they bring us through the nether and upper worlds in a complex journey.

Alchemy - Transforming the 'elements' and binding forces of planetary-cosmic phenomena into finer, higher substances.

Astrology - Revealing the rhythmic cycles of the planets, and how their phases may be experienced by human beings in terms of motion and emotion.

Actualism - Propelling us through the levels of being and consciousness toward the ultimate externalization of God.
