<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 120px;" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/Colin-Magic%20of%20Being-preview5.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1259533566329" alt="" /></span></span>What if it really happens, what if our Governments release information about our Extra Terrestrial friends, and acknowledge they really do exist?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have been reading some of the articles on this site you cannot fail to notice that I favour the idea that there are some wonderful beings and entities out there (well here really) that are helping us with our amazing journey from 3D to 5D and beyond.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our connection with them is also more than just energetic, for they have been involved with the earth and her development right from the very start, when life first formed on our beloved planet. When I say &lsquo;they&rsquo;, I really mean &lsquo;we&rsquo;, for part of our spiritual and soul expression is embodied here on earth in our human form, and part of our expression is represented in all the other beings too, for we are all of the one, all of the same God force.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So to call them anything other than our brothers and sisters means we consider ourselves outside of the &lsquo;one&rsquo;. It would be fair to say there are light and not so light beings too, some out to control and dominate and some (now the majority) here to help us with love and compassion. See Dana Shino&rsquo;s article <a href="http://www.thepurplephoenix.com/articles/divine_ets_08-23-09.html">know the&nbsp;difference</a>&nbsp;for more information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If our governments finally do acknowledge that not only do ET&rsquo;s exist, but that they have been having a dialogue with our off planet friends for many years, what would we do, how would the mass population react?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The concern is that &lsquo;we&rsquo; might not be ready, that we would react negatively and panic, or worse still our governments on our behalf would start fighting with them, by trying to blow their ships out of the skies (like on all the best sc-fi movies).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I think however, with all the energy shifts that have taken place this year, and especially in the last month, that the consciousness of the planet has moved up a gear, and we are now much more able to accept that there is life elsewhere in this universe, and what is more we can communicate with these beings quite well already, through our hearts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In <a href="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/articles/awakening-to-our-full-potential.html">Suzanne Lie&rsquo;s article</a> this month, she describes beautifully how, by raising our energy, our love, we can start to share and communicate with our celestial partners (who are another part of ourselves).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 200px;" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/Sky.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1259446982310" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #011e06;" lang="EN">With Galactic Consciousness, we feel complete unity with the many planets, solar systems, and galaxies that resonate to the fourth and fifth dimensions. This unity allows us to fully integrate our Multidimensional SELF and expand our consciousness into the fifth dimension and ground that frequency of Light into the body of Gaia. By now, &ldquo;ETs&rdquo; are perceived as other expressions of our Soul/SELF and members of our Stellar Family.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The many messages I enjoy reading from our beloved star family inform us that we are the masters on earth, it is our free will that determines our &lsquo;progression&rsquo; and that we are &lsquo;God&rsquo; in embodiment. The ET&rsquo;s are &lsquo;God&rsquo; too, but not in earth bodies like us (although they do have bodies, they are just different, perhaps not as solid as us here on earth).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My own experience of Arturians, Sirians, Lyrans and any number of wonderfully light and truly beloved star beings has been one of deep love and bliss, and this is something I treasure beyond words. Our mutual connection to God is undeniable, and our love infinite. I know I work with Ashtar and many others of the Galactic High Council, and any number of other councils, and my main objective is to &lsquo;be the light&rsquo;, and with their help and love I know this is so much easier. Asking them for help and then feeling them assist gives us all so much pleasure and joy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also remember having lives (and they are concurrent with this life) in all of the places our ET brothers and sisters come from, in fact my soul often meets itself in others, and inevitably touches that same part of God that exists in us all. I believe we are with them on their ships as part of their teams (in embodiment as their brothers and sisters) and we visit them in our light bodies whilst we are asleep. All the time we report back to help with the ascension programme of which we are all part.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I see God in everyone&rsquo;s face, each of us is a part of God, and equal to any ET, Angel. Master or whatever we choose to call our beloved family. We are simply unaware of our divine connection much of the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what if we are ready now, what if it is time, what would you do? How would you feel to see their ships in the sky, to witness someone from another world standing with us here on earth? What if we are no longer ridiculed for being rather strange and having odd fantasies, for reporting real meetings, that are actually happening.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If there is infinite space, then there must also be an infinite possibility that life exists elsewhere in this universe, so what if the time has come for us to meet them?</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 150px;" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/Colin-Magic%20of%20Being-preview5.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1248291302576" alt="" /></span></span>If you have been following the various articles and interviews over these last few months you will notice a common theme, that the energies these days are more intense, our emotional and karmic clearings are far deeper than before, and our new creative skills are coming on line in a rapid yet seemingly haphazard kind of way (it is all perfect in the moment of course, it just seems chaotic to our current way of thinking).</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Many of our regular contributors have been relating their own &lsquo;dark night of the soul&rsquo; and at the same time have attempted to articulate the amazing and often blissful connections with the new energies that are now entering our world, and helping us shape our new reality.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">We are continually reminded that our thoughts directly influence the reality in which we live, and for me this has never been more noticeable. Now the gap between a thought and its manifestation is really short, sometimes hours, sometimes minutes and more recently just seconds. This time last year I would have said weeks or months.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Many articles alert us to yet another portal opening, or a lunar/solar alignment, where more opportunities for expansion are available should we choose, and sure enough many of us feel the impact of them quite intensely. One event in particular that has had us all running around one way or another was July 7<sup>th</sup> 2009 (the Solar Storms) &ndash; For some these events have enabled us to connect to the most wonderful blissful energies, working in ways that we have previously dreamed of, but so far have been beyond us. Others have reported the darkest moments of their lives yet, where the deepest clearings have been experienced (another side effect of these very high vibrations).</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Either way the indications are that things are speeding up and that we need to start thinking like creator beings, knowing that we are most assuredly creating our own reality. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">Recently I wrote a piece about using Mandalas after having read June-Elleni Laine&rsquo;s book &lsquo;</span><a href="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/articles/mandala-the-art-of-creating-future.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mandala &ndash; The Art of Creating Future</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&rsquo;, and the most significant question to answer was &lsquo;what would I like to create?&rsquo; I had already accepted I can create, so given that, what would I like? Perhaps this is something we should all take a few moments to ponder, as our creations are materialising so much quicker now, it seems only sensible to think those thoughts whose outcomes are situations we actually desire.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">As we become more and more aware of our multi-dimensional capabilities, and of the special skills we bring to the creation team (that&rsquo;s all of us), it is important we maintain our integrity, our connection to our highest selves, and we can do this by simply creating from the heart. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">One thing I have learned over these last years is how to notice if my vibration has increased or decreased, where I am either in my heart space, or have drifted off frequency. Consider how you feel when you enter a room where nothing is being said, but where an argument is in full swing, you can cut the atmosphere with a knife. It is also possible to feel an energy that is comfortable and inviting, think of a concert or a speech that has moved you, everyone feels the emotion at the same time. This is the collective energy moving, either up or down in vibration. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">What if we all decided that we&rsquo;d rather live in a world where the underlying vibration was as high as we could possibly make it, where everyone felt the joy and love that this kind of vibration carries, where we are all in agreement, what if this is how we create, together, now.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">My feeling is that we have graduated, or are in the process of graduating, from the finest Earth/Creator Academy, we have the highest qualifications from the most prestigious college, and we have now fully embodied our higher selves, and are becoming Earth Angels (as Karen Bishop has been calling us).</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">So let&rsquo;s start now, this minute, this second, and create the reality we all desire, lets flex our creator muscles, now we are fully qualified and we have the scars to prove it; there is no time like the present, in fact there is only the present moment&hellip; so why not do it, now?</span></span></span></p>

Sometimes they are books that ask me to go and do something, perhaps some mediations on a subject, maybe go plan something using the tools I have just read about.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">The thing is, I often have the best of intentions but then put the book down, and go do something completely different, leaving the book and it&rsquo;s ideas on the pages, rather than in my life. Why is that I wonder? Well I&rsquo;m not alone in this, when I interviewed<a href="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/interviews/2008/5/18/an-interview-with-colin-turner.html"> Colin Turner</a> he had just re-written one of his books so that it could be broken down into smaller bites. The reason for this, he said, was that no-one re-read his work, and if we want to really benefit from some of these wonderful books, we do need to go back and use the tools within them, otherwise they stay words in a book.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">Another book I read and thought, this is great, I&rsquo;m going to use this one for sure, was Neil Crofts&rsquo; <a href="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/soul-search/2008/5/28/seven-stages-of-authenticity-neil-crofts.html">Seven Stages of Authenticity</a>, it was laid out beautifully and completely logically, and it could be picked up and read from any section, in any order. What could be simpler, and I even wrote that I thought this one would be well thumbed when I reviewed it. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">So what is it that gets in our way when we know we have been given all the tools, all the information has come to us, all the contacts have been made to move to the next stage, whatever that might be?</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">In my case it was many things, too many to mention here (oh those lovely clearings!!), however I did want to share with you that today I actually got up and did one of the exercises from the book I have been reading, &lsquo;<a href="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/articles/mandala-the-art-of-creating-future.html">Mandala &ndash; The Art of Creating Future</a>&rsquo;, by June-Elleni Laine. It just leapt into my head that here was something I really believe in, here is something I know works, so why not go and do it? The answer was simple, what if it works, what then? I would have to take responsibility for the manifestation, and more importantly, I would have to decide what I wanted in the first place.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="color: #000000;">So what did I choose for my first Mandala, well it&rsquo;s something I have been &lsquo;choosing&rsquo; for some time now, so I just wanted to put my foot firmly on the accelerator, and get on with it. I&rsquo;ve called it &lsquo;Be Fully Present &ndash; Now&rsquo;, and here it is, rather simple but this is what came through. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/Mandala%20Be%20Fully%20Present%20Now.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1243632002612" alt="" /></span></span></p>

What if we are creators, what if we just do it - now?</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1231518694085" alt="" /></span></span>In a recent meditation my friends and I saw a river flowing out of a giant crystal (which was floating in mid-air, somewhere way out in space). We felt that this river contained all potential for creation, and since then I have been calling it the &lsquo;river of infinite potential&rsquo; (obviously). We then saw a tree with its roots going down into this stream of potential, drawing up infinite possibilities into its heartwood. At this point we felt that the tree&rsquo;s heart and our own hearts were one and the same and combined we were the heart of creation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This creative force was then converted into &lsquo;fruit&rsquo; by our intention, whatever we wanted to create would manifest from this tree of creation out of this intent. One said he would create a money tree and instantly we saw and felt the abundance flow out of the river, through the roots of our tree, then our hearts eventually to blossom as an abundant fruit, in this case money. So your Mother told you money does not grow on trees &ndash; well on this one it does!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Obviously the river and the tree are metaphors for our own creative ability, but it was interesting the way we used these images to co-ordinate our co-creation. To feel part of the tree and feel the roots of our intention draw from creation itself, in this case the river of infinite potential. The other part of this visualisation that was very tangible for me was the taking of the fruit from the tree itself. Once we had decided what we would like to &lsquo;grow&rsquo; we then confidently took it from the tree, not worrying about how it will manifest in our lives, but knowing for sure that it will (and maybe sooner than we think).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We then looked around we saw our tree as part of a wood, where similar trees were co-creating our environment of abundance, each complementing the other, giving and receiving love energy which was flowing effortlessly and magically.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here we had discovered how using this image can be very powerful when used in a group situation (or even when you sit alone and create for yourself). Simply see the river flowing beneath you, feel your tree&rsquo;s roots drawing from the river&rsquo;s creative potential. Now intend what you would like to create, feel its potential flow through your heart and up to the branches and see it materialise as a fruit. Now reach out and pick the fruits and feel the flow of creative love in your heart, know that this is for the benefit of all, and that you are truly creator beings. Remember to be grateful for the creation when it arrives and thank yourself and your fellow creators for the miracle that you are.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what if this is the tree of creation and <strong>what if we are all trees of life</strong>, together co-creating our world?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By the way, this is already happening, you <strong>are</strong> the creative force in your life, so why not actively create that which your soul desires, go into your own heart &lsquo;wood&rsquo; and experiment and play, there&rsquo;s never been a better time to be with the flow of creation.</p>
<p>With Love,</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1230745533499" alt="" /></span></span>During our last holiday of 2008 I was walking along a very quiet beach not long after the 11.11.11 portal openings when a very noticeable energy shift had taken place, pondering on how these changes manifested in our world. Now I know many of us working in the energies keep saying these shifts have happened, then life goes on and, if anything, everything seems to be getting worse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I wanted to see how things had changed for me energetically. I had been reading about how we all are now creators of our new reality, in fact we always have been, it&rsquo;s just that we had forgotten. So what if I could remember having created this wonderful moment walking in the winter sun on my favourite beach on this cold November morning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I stopped walking, sensed into the beach, into the sand, right down to the centre of Gaia, and touched into her heart with my own (I sometimes imagine a hand reaching out of my heart which then touches Gaia&rsquo;s &ndash; it helps direct the energy somehow). Once our hearts were linked and our love was flowing, I then mentally asked Gaia if we could go back to the moment when we both agreed to create this moment when I would be walking on the beach and then think of remembering.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this point I felt the whole of creation move, I felt the energy of love flow so strongly between myself and Gaia I cried with the &lsquo;remembering&rsquo;, it was incredible. I had tapped into the very act of creating, albeit a little after the event. I have no way of knowing how long ago we had created this moment, but what if I bring it into the now, what if I create each moment as they happen, what does that feel like? Again the energy flowing with that thought was amazing, I had&nbsp;connected&nbsp;to&nbsp;the knowing of how this works, for an instant I had remembered how to create.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As fleeting as this moment had been I knew it was significant, and following that I tried on many occasions to remember moments, perhaps in the London Underground when it was really crowded, I would &lsquo;remember&rsquo; creating with everyone else this rather unlikely moment, and again the energy of remembering would flow freely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some time after this I attended a lightworker meeting where again we were being reminded that now, above all else, we must be confident in creating our new world, we must understand that we are creators and not just passive onlookers. So why not remember with a group of likeminded souls? I suggested this to our group and we then did a meditation where I took us back to the moment when we, as creator beings, all got together to create the moment when we decided to remember. Such an amazing love flowed between us, it was like we were touching God in each other as we tapped into the creative force of the source and remembered ourselves as co-creators, just for a few moments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is how we will live and be from now on, totally at one, co-creating in a wonderful loving creative energy. It may take a few more rememberings, but eventually we will &lsquo;get it&rsquo; and know that we have been doing this all the time, it&rsquo;s just that now we will be fully conscious and create each moment fully aware of our divinity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why not practice remembering? You could start with remembering when you and I decided that it would be great for me to write and then you to read this article, the moment when we both acknowledge the magic of creation and then remembered together the delight of being in this wonderful creative love energy together.</p>
<p>Awesome.</p>
<p>With Love,</p>
<p>Colin.</p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">What if we all create the reality we really want, together?</span></p>
</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1217493869270" alt="" /></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 120%;">Much of what I read at the moment is predicting a complete melt down of our current reality, with our monetary processes grinding to a halt and mass unemployment and homelessness across the world, more famine, more wars and so on.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Much of the advice being given is either &lsquo;convert your cash for gold and start growing your own food&rsquo; to &lsquo;relax, it&rsquo;s fine it&rsquo;s just a phase&rsquo;.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Some of the more encouraging thoughts talk about our new capacity as creator beings to actually influence the result, by staying true to ourselves and creating the very reality we have all been working towards.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">There are many energetic portals opening again this month (08/08/08 Lion&rsquo;s Gate for example) which will make it even easier to realize our full potential.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">When everything seems to be chaotic around us, and our bones are aching, or our job has come to an end (so where is the rent coming from?) it is our time to &lsquo;relax&rsquo; into being who we truly are, and rather than going into fear, start looking to what kind of future we really want to be part of.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">We still have a choice, that is clear, so what do you choose? What if we all choose to create a new reality where Love is all, and we live for each other in harmony. Sounds too idealistic, too good to be true? Well that&rsquo;s the reality I&rsquo;m creating, a loving society where we all work for the good of all.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">How quickly will it manifest? I think you may be surprised how quickly we can bring about change, in my view now is the time to create our reality with the skills and deep wisdom that is at our fingertips (well in our hearts really), we all have the ability to do this and we just need the confidence that all will become clear if we just let go of the how.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Sit in your creation (in the future if it helps you see it more clearly) and look around, what do you see, who is there with you, what kind of plants and animals are there, how do we live together? You have created this, or to be more accurate, we have co-created this new world.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">So when the old world looks grim, or you are having difficulties assimilating some of these energies in your body, go sit in your new creation and bask in your brilliance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">With Love,</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px;" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" /></span><span style="font-size: 120%;">Thank you Universe for magically bringing me to realise that I am, and always have been, in exactly the right place.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Not long ago I set the intention that I would work for an Authentic company (see our interview with Neil Crofts), that I would work with people who share my values and, more to the point, who work energetically to bring about change in a sympathetic and caring way. Imagine my surprise when I realised I am already working for that firm.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">On the face of it we are a large IT/business consulting firm with the usual focus on productivity and cost reduction for ourselves and our clients. Our behaviours to date would suggest we are heading in the same direction as any other technically focused company.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Then I attended a course run by one of our senior executives which made me realise a revolution was under way, the course was called Deep Democracy, and it is for many a life changing event.</span></p>
<em>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">"Deep Democracy has its roots in Arnold Mindell&rsquo;s Process Orientated Psychology. Its scientific concepts and principals have been demystified in order to make it relevant and applicable to the layperson. This process has taken over fifteen years of intensive work by psychologists Myrna Lewis and her late husband Greg Lewis.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">The work commenced in South Africa just after the transition from apartheid to the New South Africa, when Myrna and Greg were asked by a large utility company to facilitate change within a 5 000 employee strong division. Accustomed to the old, prejudiced way of functioning, the division needed help in becoming aligned with a different way of operating. Three years down the line Deep Democracy was recognised for enabling people to resolve their racial tension and work together through decision-making processes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">From this tension-filled soil, Deep Democracy has grown, and continues to evolve. Over the past decade Deep Democracy&rsquo;s principles and methods have been used successfully in many countries from Ireland to India and in a variety of contexts from businesses to schools.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;">It has been used as a method for conflict resolution and mediation, organisational change and development, community development, leadership training and facilitation of group processes. It stands testament to the power of inclusion and diversity in real and sustained change".</span></p>
</em>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">It is an &lsquo;energy&rsquo; based process that describes the &lsquo;group consciousness&rsquo; and shows how to resolve conflict, particularly when we use voting as our democratic decision tool.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">So amazingly I do work for a company who&rsquo;s values and training include teaching our consultants how group consciousness works, and how to resolve deeply ingrained behaviours. In doing so we become more conscious of ourselves because the more successful we become as facilitators, the less ego we will bring.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">So how great is that? What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be too?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">How could you not be?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">With Love,</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-float-left"><strong><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px;" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" /></strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: 120%;">Psychic Abilities </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Over the last two months I have been speaking with people who have been describing how we can get in touch with our souls, our higher selves, by improving our psychic abilities. Interestingly this subject opens up an area of discussion that many people find difficult, it&rsquo;s too spooky or unproven for them. Meditation is fine, but when it comes to making contact outside our 5 senses, eyebrows are raised and the subject becomes rather &lsquo;risky&rsquo;.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Since my early childhood my Mother had often spoken about spiritual matters and had received healing on many occasions, so I was no stranger to 'the other side', at least I could accept life after death as an idea.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">So in this edition we talk about the spirit world and how to draw their likeness (see June-Elleni&rsquo;s book review The Art of Being Psychic), and we discuss angel drawings or images of our guides and how helpful they can be.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">This kind of talk does not fit well with our world or scientific proof and logic, yet I find it impossible to venture into knowing myself without touching into these topics. More importantly I find them an integral part of my growing understanding of who I am and what I am doing on this planet.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 120%;">Talking with ET&rsquo;s?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">I have always been open to discussions about visitors from outer space and the fact that there is so much evidence to suggest that this just might be the case. I have read some wonderful books and watched numerous TV programs about the Pyramids and their alignment with the stars, the many ancient buildings which we still cannot build today, and rather large lumps of rock half way up mountains - could they really be rocket take off pads?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">Have you ever wondered why the Nazca Lines were drawn in Peru, for example? </span><a href="http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_1.htm"><span style="font-size: x-small; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_1.htm</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 120%;">. The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920's and passengers reported seeing 'primitive landing strips' on the ground below. No one knew who had built them, or indeed why, and since their discovery the Nasca Lines have inspired fantastic explanations. </span></p>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 90%;">So we have opened up these previously risky subjects for discussion on this site, we venture into the areas of ET contact for example, where I have personal experience of energies from many different star systems and can relate to the many stories and information that is coming through these days (have you been reading the channellings we have been posting from Celia Fenn&nbsp;or Karen Bishop for example?).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 90%;">We may even find we can travel energetically with beings from many light years away, see them and speak with them (see my review of Elaine Thompson&rsquo;s book Voice from our Galaxy). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">So what if we are not alone, what if there are other beings out there, so many in fact that we would never be able to contact them all in a single lifetime?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 90%;">What if we can meet them and travel with them now, what if we already are?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 90%;">With Love,</span></p>

I started to look at the background of thought that seems to continuously play in my head.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">When I&rsquo;m booking appointments I seem to have a thought that&rsquo;s saying &lsquo;I&rsquo;ll put this in my diary but who knows, things have a habit of changing, I may not make it&rsquo;. </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">As a consequence my diary and appointments are continuously changing, especially those that I&rsquo;ve &lsquo;pencilled in&rsquo;, those that I was not convinced about. </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">Could it be something to do with my intent, with my conviction? From where I sit it&rsquo;s clear that the universe delivers faithfully what I&rsquo;ve asked for, which is chaos. So I decided to observe this in action next time I found myself without time. </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">Why not take a moment and listen to your background tape, I wonder what messages you are playing?</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">An amazing example happened a few weeks ago. I had an appointment in Wales and literally had a train to catch. I had left home in plenty of time, I thought, but had forgotten how dense the rush hour traffic had become at that time of day. To make matters worse I kept getting stuck at red lights, and behind the world&rsquo;s slowest drivers. Each incident added to my anxiety that I would be late and miss the train, there was simply not enough time to park the car, buy a ticket and so on. My back track had started planning my next steps, after I had missed my train, what would I do, phone calls to make and so on.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">At this point I let it go, I just offered it up to the universe and said, what will be will be (enter Doris Day).. This did not change the fact that it would appear I did not have enough time, however there was another voice in the background that said &lsquo;trust, be with the moment, go to the station and catch your train&rsquo;.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">I drove into the station car park with 1 minute to go before my train was due to leave, and still the background tape was advising against buying a car park ticket, after all I&rsquo;d missed my train so what would be the point. Again my inner voice said &lsquo;trust, buy your ticket, catch your train&rsquo;.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">This time I chose to listen to my &lsquo;gut&rsquo; feeling rather than the noise, bought my car parking ticket then went into the station to buy my travel ticket. </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">As I looked at the departure board I noticed with a smile that my train was 10 minutes late, time enough to buy a ticket, get a drink and walk to the platform. I could not have known this ahead of time other than through my intuition. </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">If we put aside the thoughts that tell us we are subject to time and allow ourselves to be in the moment, everything begins to flow.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">There are two key points to this, one is that if we keep thinking we do not have enough time, guess what, we run out of time; time and time again. The other is to listen to our inner guidance and not the noise of our thinking heads. Once we quieten the noise we can hear our guide.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">Now it may result on us missing the train after all, there may be someone we need to meet on the next one, so don&rsquo;t worry, we can never be on the wrong train, we&rsquo;ll be on the train we are on, nothing more.</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">What if time is way more flexible than we imagine? Well just imagine time is more flexible and it will be! </span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">With Love,</span></p><p><span class="sizeGreater20">Colin.</span></p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item></rdf:RDF>
