<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>

<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;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1243632119419" alt="" /></span></span>I am one of those people who recommend books when they impact me the most, when they get into my consciousness and get my energy moving in some way. 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 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>

Imagine my surprise when I realised I am already working for that firm. </p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><em><p>&quot;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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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&quot;.</p></em><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>So how great is that? What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be too?</p><p>How could you not be?</p><p>With Love,</p><p>Colin.<font size="2"></font></p></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><p>&nbsp;</p></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/rss-comments-entry-1891529.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>What if we are not alone?</title><dc:creator>The Magic Of Being</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:23:43 +0000</pubDate><link>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/2008/6/6/what-if-we-are-not-alone.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">236284:2354737:1891425</guid><description><![CDATA[<font face="Arial" size="2"><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><strong><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" /></strong></span><strong>Psychic Abilities </strong></p><p>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;.</p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Talking with ET&rsquo;s?</strong></p><p>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? </p><p>Have you ever wondered why the Nazca Lines were drawn in Peru, for example? Have you ever wondered why the Nazca Lines were drawn in Peru, for example? <a href="http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_1.htm"><font style="color: #0000ff" face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><u>http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_1.htm</u></font></a><font face="Arial" size="2">. 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.</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> </font></p></font><p><span class="sizeLess20">Have you ever wondered why the Nazca Lines were drawn in Peru, for example?</span> <font face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">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 <font style="color: #ff0000" face="Arial" color="#ff0000" size="2">Celia Fenn</font><font face="Arial" size="2">&nbsp;or</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> </font><font style="color: #ff0000" face="Arial" color="#ff0000" size="2">Karen Bishop</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> for example?).</font></font></font></p><font face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Arial" size="2">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 </font></font><font style="color: #ff0000" face="Arial" color="#ff0000" size="2">Voice from our Galaxy</font><font face="Arial" size="2">).</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> </font><font face="Arial" size="2"></font><font face="Arial" size="2"><p>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?</p><p>What if we can meet them and travel with them now, what if we already are?</p><p>With Love,</p><p>Colin.</p></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/rss-comments-entry-1891425.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>What if we can GoDirect</title><dc:creator>The Magic Of Being</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:17:50 +0000</pubDate><link>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/2008/6/6/what-if-we-can-godirect.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">236284:2354737:1891409</guid><description><![CDATA[<font face="Arial"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" /></span>What if a new service has been launched call </font><font style="color: #ff0000" face="Arial" color="#ff0000" size="2">GoD</font><font face="Arial" size="2">irect, where we can cut out the middleman and go straight to the source, literally?</font></font><font face="Arial" size="2"> <p>In many spiritual teachings masters have been guiding us to connect to the source, to our God selves, through many different approaches which have developed into our current religions or healing practices.</p><p>Each of these religions then points to a particular set of principles and methods which often become the <strong>only </strong>way to relate to our maker. How many times do we hear &lsquo;You can only find salvation though Jesus&rsquo; blasting from loudspeakers in our shopping precincts for example (and this applies to many religions, not just Christianity)?</p><p>Then we appoint a hierarchy of priests, brothers, sister, elders and so on, who are &lsquo;closer&rsquo; to God than we, who we then aspire to follow.</p><p>As with many new ways of doing things the old ways may seem less appropriate now. Look at the way selling insurance has changed with telephone and internet services offering customers direct access to the companies concerned. Many insurance sales people found themselves looking for new employment as the whole way of doing business changed.</p>So it is with finding our God connections, we can choose to </font><font style="color: #ff0000" face="Arial" color="#ff0000" size="2">GoD</font><font face="Arial" size="2">irect.</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> <p>What if there was a service (and there always has been by the way) that offers connection directly to source, that matches you and your own soul journey exactly, that will tune instantly to your requirements?

Why not picture a big telephone in your heart (mine looks like the one in the Batman TV programs, it&rsquo;s Red and in a glass cover). Pick up the handset, no need to dial, you have a direct line remember?</p><p>Now open to receive, to be all that you can be, perhaps you&rsquo;ll feel the love or source so strongly you&rsquo;ll wonder how it was you&rsquo;d forgotten it was there.</p><p>Call today &ndash; It&rsquo;s free </p><p>Free Love &ndash; whatever next?</p></font>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/rss-comments-entry-1891409.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>What if we do have enough time?</title><dc:creator>The Magic Of Being</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:15:31 +0000</pubDate><link>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/2008/6/6/what-if-we-do-have-enough-time.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">236284:2354737:1891402</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="sizeGreater20"><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" /></span>Recently I&rsquo;ve been reflecting on how it is I still feel that I do not have enough time, I&rsquo;m so busy. 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>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/rss-comments-entry-1891402.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>What if I can channel myself, my God-Self?</title><dc:creator>The Magic Of Being</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:08:54 +0000</pubDate><link>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/2008/6/6/what-if-i-can-channel-myself-my-god-self.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">236284:2354737:1891377</guid><description><![CDATA[<p class="style138"><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 275px; height: 215px" alt="magichandwhatif.gif" src="http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/storage/magichandwhatif.gif" /></span>A couple of years ago I wrote this piece about channelling, at the time I was finding ways of communicating with my higher or God self.</p><p class="style138">Before going into the actual channelling, which I would like to share with you, it might be good to explain how I came this point. Over a number of years I had been working (or should that be playing) in energy with many wonderful lightworkers. </p><p class="style138">During one journey we met Thoth (my travelling companion identified him, then I tuned in to his frequency). He took us to a room which was very much like a temple with high round pillars, on these pillars were codes which were etched into their surface.</p><p class="style138">I touched the codes and felt them enter into me, and a deep knowing came in with them. At this point I did not know that I could read them so just accepted them and that all was well.</p><p class="style138">Very soon after that I was speaking to another friend who said that she has a large number of encoded tablets but as she did not read them had been waiting for someone to come along who could &ndash; &lsquo;hey&rsquo; I said, &rsquo;I read codes&rsquo;, so she took me to them (in energy, not physically) and helped me read them all in record time (a bit like a download, where I transferred them rather than read them).</p><p class="style138">So over time I have been dipping into the wisdom within them without actually knowing that is what&rsquo;s been going on.</p><p class="style138">A little later I was being asked to speak what was within my deepest soul, my God self, but could not get the words by &lsquo;listening&rsquo;. I did however see an open book in my mind and walked over to it, and ran my hands over the words or codes within it. That&rsquo;s when the connection to source happened in words for me, they just flowed once I had the vision of me standing there reading the book.</p><p class="style138">Then it came to me that now that so much of my God-Self was present would it not be a good idea to start speaking from there as a matter of course. So I asked to speak to myself, as it were, and stepped up to the book&hellip;here&rsquo;s what came through.</p><p class="style138"><em>Beloved, as we read this from our source book we are, or <strong>I am</strong>, now so complete, so very much here, installed as you put it.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>There is so much more to know and to reveal, now that you have opened this channel. Get used to working in this way from source, this is where all creation takes shape, where you co-create from.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>The codes you have been downloading have opened (and are still opening) at key stages of your/our development, each challenge you have faced by holding on to a deep knowing of how this love is to be shared, how natural this sharing is.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>As you have said our beloved Gaia has been our guide, our lover, our inspiration. She has always been there to assist and to support us when we wavered or doubted this process.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>Now we simply do no know how to exhibit or express the negative or unwanted frequencies or thought patterns. Through our work with St. Germain, Archangel Michael and Sananda we have transmuted, cut away and replaced all unwanted energies.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>We are but a microcosm of the whole, which means that as we were cleansed so was the world(s), the multiverse. As above so below.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>Our work has been largely unnoticed mentally for many, who would not know our name, yet in love energy we are a beacon, a shining star for others to follow.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>The linking of souls, deep and clear, is our passion, being love and sharing all is our natural state. We are one, we are God. Now we are here, we become I.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>I love you beyond your understanding even now, where you connect directly to me, where our union is so complete, so much more for you/me to become.</em></p><p class="style138"><em>Beloved, keep working and being and enjoy, be happy &ndash; replace work with play (you have always played in energy).</em></p><p class="style138"><strong>Your prayers have been answered, we are one beloved, we are one.</strong></p><p class="style138">A this point I cry deeply, a blissful wave of love and recognition feeds me. </p><p class="style138">That&rsquo;s what I wanted to share with you.</p><p class="style138">With Love,</p><p class="style17">Colin.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://themagicofbeing.squarespace.com/what-if/rss-comments-entry-1891377.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
