<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I am getting
ready to head out on another trip in a few days, so I will be out of
communication for several weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
trip features visits to Copan in Honduras and Tikal in Guatemala.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These 2 sites have been on my bucket list for
at least 15 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never been to
either one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just remembered this morning
that I had actually booked this trip with different groups and with slightly different
itineraries 3 times previously!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the
trips was canceled by the tour company, and I backed out of the other two for
various reasons.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">When the time
is right, things just fall into place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is what happened here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless
I am absolutely enthralled with these ruins, this will be a one and done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will check them off of my list!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have another bucket list trip coming up in
a few months, and that will be it for now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">There is a lot
of benefit to waiting for the right time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On the other hand, I know of people who make excuses for not jumping onto
an opportunity that presents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a
delicate balance that requires knowing oneself completely, and being willing to
follow guidance and trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one knows
oneself completely, the decision is easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If however there are unhealed issues that prevent the moving forward,
those need to be addressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes we
just need to take that leap of faith and go for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I recently
listened to an interview that featured Robert Zubrin of the Mars Society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is considered to be an expert on all
things to do with Mars, including how to get there, what we need to do to live
there, and what the time frames for this would be, among other topics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He seemed overly optimistic with his ideas,
but who is to say that none of that would not come to fruition! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">The whole time
he was talking, I was thinking about our connection with Mother Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being of a shamanic frame of mind, I regard
this intimate connection as a necessity for the health and well being of all
sentient life on Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately,
because of start of life issues compounded by the current state of our world,
many people have disconnected from that connection and prefer to be ungrounded
and out of their bodies most of the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is understandable, as it is a way for them to not feel afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, that gives one a very false
sense of security!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">So, a number of
questions came up for me while listening to the interview.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
one is on some kind of ship heading to Mars, how is their grounding cord
operating?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it still connected to the
core of our Earth Mother?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If so, can it
stretch all the way to Mars?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this a
holographic connection and one takes it wherever they go and it does not need
to stretch?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Or, as I have
seen with many people nowadays, the grounding is minimal or not even there, so
what I said above may not matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">When one does
get to Mars, what then?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This reminds me
of advice I have given to people after they have made a move from one location
to another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to let go of
the old location, pull up the grounding cord, and anchor it firmly into the new
location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can sometimes be
difficult to do, as there may be unfinished business from the old location that
may still linger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There may be traumas
and unpleasant incidents, as well as joyful ones that can be hard to let go
of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Possessions may also be left behind
that call the person back to take care of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Will the people who land on Mars be able to let go of their previous
life on Earth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Will we even be
able to let go of our identities as Earth humans enough to anchor into another
planet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And what will we be anchoring
into?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am assuming that all planets
have an energy core that contains the higher dimensional energy of some sort of
soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly our Earth Mother fits
into this category.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will new arrivals to
Mars be able to connect to this core, or forever live there in an ungrounded
and out of body state?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That would not
bode well for the physical and psychological health of the new arrivals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">What is the
energetic core and soul of Mars like?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
did some tuning in and found a male energy that was not as vital as our Earth
Mother and somewhat angry as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would
this being welcome us, or do its best to get us to go away?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly over the years there have been many
strange mishaps involving our exploratory spacecraft that have gone there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I would imagine
that any human that was born on Mars would have an easier time of it, and not
have to deal with the challenges that I have described.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bottom line, we will not know until we get
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Zubrin has set out a time frame
for colonization, but the future is malleable, so who knows?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope this post has given you some food for
thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many questions are posed
here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What do you think?</span></p>

Tom Kenyon’s mailing list for years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
is am amazing sound healer and channel for the Hathors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His communications contain very pertinent
information for today’s spiritually minded people in addition to free sound
tracks that go along with the theme of the writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Back when I
first started receiving his newsletters, he was putting them out at least once
a month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the years, that pace
has slowed down, and in the last few years, he rarely communicated as he was on
sabbatical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that he has reemerged
from his quiet time, and is once again putting out some amazing stuff.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">On the 19<sup>th</sup>,
he sent out a message and sound meditation entitled “Flower of Life/Tree of
Life Hathor Planetary Meditation”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can access it <u><a href="https://tomkenyon.com/the-flower-of-life-tree-of-life-hathor-message">here</a></u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one really packs a punch, and gives
extremely helpful information for those on the spiritual path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sound meditation is about 5 minutes long
and is free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He does offer a much longer
version for a reasonable fee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I have been
listening to the longer version the past few days when I have time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It involves bringing higher dimensional
energy into one’s central channel down the spine, and then radiating that
energy throughout the body’s nerves, meridians and energy channels and further
out into the multiverse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very effective.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Today, I walked
our local labyrinth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I have
previously reported, when I spiral into a labyrinth, I am releasing what no
longer serves me, and when I come out, I am embracing all of the positives that
are due to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was releasing
today, it felt like all of the heavy energy I was holding in my
multidimensional embodiments was flying out of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Flowing like water!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This included all past lives, my embodiments
in other dimensions, in addition to inherited genetic patterns and
traumas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">On my way out,
I not only pulled in a lot of positive energy down my central channel, but,
following Tom Kenyon’s directives, I could feel myself radiating that
benevolent energy out to the multiverse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel that because of Tom’s
sound meditation, I have shifted into an entirely new way of working the energy
of the labyrinth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">He recommends
listening to the sound meditation frequently, which I will do, to not only elevate
one’s vibration, but to also be of service to all sentient beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounds good to me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give it a try.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I also recommend that you sign up for his newsletter at www.tomkenyon.com. All of the previous writings and sound meditations are available there, too. <br /></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Long time
readers of this blog know how passionate I am about the whole issue around the
human death process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my opinion, the
moment when we leave the body for the last time in this lifetime is by far the
most important one of our whole incarnation here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
happens at that moment will determine where we go from here, whether it will be
for another go around on the wheel of reincarnation, or escaping this 4<sup>th</sup>
dimensional matrix once and for all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">One of the
healing processes that I offer is to perform the Shamanic Death Rites on the
deceased of a relative who requests it on behalf of that person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is my pleasure and privilege to assist
those who become stuck after death, as they can linger for many years as an
earth bound spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are indicators
that may signal the need for the Rites, such as for someone who died violently
or suddenly, was ill for a long time, or who died well before their time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one is on morphine at the end, they are
almost guaranteed to become stuck after death, as that drug lowers the
vibration and makes it harder for them to attain the escape velocity that they need to enter
the tunnel of light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morphine makes the
body feel better, but it does not ease the torment of the soul!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I do have to
emphasize, however, that the best I can do for the deceased is to clear their
energy field of the baggage that they took with them <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>upon death, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and vastly shorten the time that they spend
between lifetimes so as to come back sooner to have another go at it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot get the soul of the deceased off of
the wheel, as that is something that they must earn themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I recently had
the privilege of doing the Shamanic Death Rites for both parents of a
client.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom passed about 10 years ago,
and Dad passed about a month ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>BTW—the length of time between the passing and when I encounter the soul
makes no difference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">The first thing
I do is to track and see if they have gone to the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, that means that they are
earthbound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad had multiple health
problems and was on morphine at the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was still in great turmoil when I found him, and had not gone to the
light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I promptly sent him and then
waited about 10 days before finishing the Rites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Mom on the
other hand died from a freak car accident and a reportedly slow death, and was
quite conscious when I found her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
almost made it to the tunnel of light, but did not enter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She knew what had happened to her, and was
quite conflicted about moving on as she had unfinished business and also wanted
to watch over her children from the other side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her conscious choice was to stay behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I had a chat with her and told her that it was time for her to go, and then
also sent her to the light, finishing the Rites about 10 days later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">What a contrast
between the two!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Dad, it was more
of what I usually find with a very ill person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On the other side, he was very in his own space, suffering and
confused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Mom, it was more like
speaking to a person that was alive and in the room with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to say that this was a first for me,
and quite gratifying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">So this example
shows the importance of preparing for your transition in the best way that you
can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the flip side, the time and
manner of your transition is predetermined before you incarnate according to your
life plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">That does not
mean that you do not have to prepare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
each have several predetermined exit points from this lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each may have a different mode of
exiting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By doing your inner work and
keeping your vibration high, you may end up with the optimum way of
transitioning out of your body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Of course, the
ideal is that you bypass the tunnel of light and exit this 4<sup>th</sup>
dimensional matrix altogether.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have mapped this pathway in my "Tools for Transition" workshop #6 entitled “The Journey Through Death and Beyond”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">You can access that <a href="http://www.quantumstargate.com/Tools-for-Transition.html">here</a>.</span>To get
to where you want to go, you have to know the way! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">For myself, my intent
is to not only exit this 4D matrix, but leave this universe altogether, perhaps
merging with the Source of All.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
written about this extensively, and you can use the search bar at the top left
of this page for more information on that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-33998472842752284322024-01-01T12:17:00.000-08:002024-01-01T12:17:19.783-08:00YouTube link<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiV0J3PS17U5ObjYuMoA6jF8BhaOL1NQv6R3HDdE8rADN3SDhIYmAyVWKdqwSefIrT2FTTRi6mn13yc8Cw8DnCihIt3QFnsMoOSpMD0hxa4_hNYOEjaVyczC6tz4btdP9XeZ4h-IDl4Seb3Wft-LQSYnEdeRT-LD6eGh2mSXS7XguTl5y4hmKze0a4Xmw/s940/Carla%20Fox%20Facebook%202024.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiV0J3PS17U5ObjYuMoA6jF8BhaOL1NQv6R3HDdE8rADN3SDhIYmAyVWKdqwSefIrT2FTTRi6mn13yc8Cw8DnCihIt3QFnsMoOSpMD0hxa4_hNYOEjaVyczC6tz4btdP9XeZ4h-IDl4Seb3Wft-LQSYnEdeRT-LD6eGh2mSXS7XguTl5y4hmKze0a4Xmw/s320/Carla%20Fox%20Facebook%202024.png" width="320" /></a></div>The "Setting Your Energetic Template for 2024" mini workshop video will be posted on YouTube on Wednesday the 3rd at noon Central time. <u><a href="https://youtu.be/O2IhopCiRO4">Here</a></u> is the link.<br /><p></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-10392862696005207422023-12-31T10:57:00.000-08:002023-12-31T10:57:31.671-08:00Setting Your Energetic Template for 2024<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyJHNqiOLZ1YVqM2L0f6_XrkzQfj7Ps4q0Mt3EVD3KUhXmJKBKXuWBnO4hcFeYEgyL8ziqjuIsPSOghtF_h0K5PsiqBHawU9Vok70zpiyC6N1sD0vh24BV5EMxw5EQ1IFgPBwZ4aUbfCYu4sQ6sSCNNuyuXyOcYaOnIkV4ahrbs7fqkp-_LUWD09195g/s940/Carla%20Fox%20Facebook%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyJHNqiOLZ1YVqM2L0f6_XrkzQfj7Ps4q0Mt3EVD3KUhXmJKBKXuWBnO4hcFeYEgyL8ziqjuIsPSOghtF_h0K5PsiqBHawU9Vok70zpiyC6N1sD0vh24BV5EMxw5EQ1IFgPBwZ4aUbfCYu4sQ6sSCNNuyuXyOcYaOnIkV4ahrbs7fqkp-_LUWD09195g/s320/Carla%20Fox%20Facebook%202024.png" width="320" /></a></div>A few days ago I had the pleasure of pre recording my annual New Years show with Angela Zabel. This is our second year of doing this mini workshop, and I think that it turned out even better than last year's show.<p></p><p>During the "Setting Your Energetic Template for 2024" meditation, I guide the listener to the zone where your higher aspects bring in the template, or patterning for your highest destiny for the coming year. You get to embody that template, pulling it into your physical body. </p><p>All of this is designed to enable you to be the best version of yourself during the coming year. As you have read in the previous post, 2024 will present opportunities for exponential spiritual growth. </p><p>The audio version of the show will be played on the Edge Talk Radio station at 7 PM Central time on Tuesday January 2nd. Tune in <u><a href="https://www.blogtalkradio.com/edgemagazine/2024/01/03/setting-your-energetic-template-for-2024-quantum-sphere-creator-carla-fox-utah">here</a></u>. Of course, you can re listen to the show at any time during the year, as I have found out that many people do. The YouTube video version will be released on Wednesday the 3rd. I will post again with that link. </p><p>Enjoy!!! May your 2024 be the very best ever! <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-44945726359450326882023-12-30T17:01:00.000-08:002023-12-30T17:01:01.228-08:00The New Year 2024<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJWjol29AVcqYMy15OelPD0Zs620azKsrB1ZpOziX1p_MwSAkCzSw0GMTvTNyJtnBvXuXjnva5-06W7J_dxjO1nzezvalZji25TF64q6Rpr3XH6J04ApWewtT4UNAgzreo5sFcaoOKcKe7Otnj9Oy1d5cjQoeY1RJDJB2iP7vhU_Qcf4hLyL8oinQKkU/s5184/P1090843.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJWjol29AVcqYMy15OelPD0Zs620azKsrB1ZpOziX1p_MwSAkCzSw0GMTvTNyJtnBvXuXjnva5-06W7J_dxjO1nzezvalZji25TF64q6Rpr3XH6J04ApWewtT4UNAgzreo5sFcaoOKcKe7Otnj9Oy1d5cjQoeY1RJDJB2iP7vhU_Qcf4hLyL8oinQKkU/s320/P1090843.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Each year about
this time I tune into the energy of the coming year and give a bit of a
forecast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not predict specific
events, but general trends and energy flows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">We are
currently undergoing an energetic acceleration, which started just a few days
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be a big change for a
lot of people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, I walked our
local labyrinth this afternoon, and was really buzzing when I got through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not the usual result! The heightened energy was flowing there big time. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">It is my sense
that this acceleration will level off at some point soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After one has integrated this new energy, it
will stay flat for several months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
may feel boring, as there will be no up and down motion for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your job will be to stay the course and not to
deviate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t create or engage in any
unnecessary drama now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">So alongside
this flat stream of energy going into the future, I have sensed small
explosions occasionally going off on either side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These may symbolize personal issues or world
issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also represent distractions of
all sorts big and small.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They could be
about relationships and other people, all the way up to news of the various
conflicts that are happening on this planet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are also very thin tendrils of energy
leading from these explosions to your main energetic time channel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These connections from the disruptions to you
are designed to tug your energy out of place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">The key here
for you is to not engage in these distractions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are meant to pull you off of your path!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to pulling you away from your
channel, they are designed to pull you down as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not attach to any expectation or
outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay neutral and be the
observer at all times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Towards the end
of the summer, there will be an opportunity to take a big leap upwards in
energy and evolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You do not want to
miss this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have been doing your
work and sticking to your path as I have outlined, there should be no problem
at that time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have spoken many times
about the splitting of the worlds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is a time when realities will separate to such a degree that it will be as if
the “other” world never existed at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think that this is what we are headed for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The tricky thing is that once this happens, it will be impossible to
recall the “old” set up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have an
inkling that something has changed, but you will not know exactly what that
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">This splitting has happened numerous times before in very small ways and in everyone's life. Have you ever called it quits with a friend and literally never saw them again in spite of the fact that they live near you? One may also call this time line jumping, although what is coming up is much bigger than that!<br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Do not feel
that you are responsible in any way to fix the world, or any other person
either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our earth has her chosen path as does each
individual here at this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
experiences will not be the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let
your guidance direct you at all times, and do not get distracted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel that there is an upcoming opportunity
to evolve that should not be missed. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Happy New Year to Everyone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carla</span> <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-39507881505397173162023-12-21T12:10:00.000-08:002023-12-22T07:31:21.877-08:00Happy Winter Solstice<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrPVkYzwcrq5RovZIZH_LsnXAKuO-Oxm50XRGWJF5XV7Y0vWT8Rbd6Tjf5bXaE85sWG_hgiOsgqgbINyZ4VTshsMrkv4XwydXxXye_Z7cDCdoilpLtgr1isQFYA6p8utQZNCIZBplgFjkJibPLl-WKvvd6Rf_IW4MozEx3fnQVQWHeTrWv_qwehnAUbU/s259/PGW.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrPVkYzwcrq5RovZIZH_LsnXAKuO-Oxm50XRGWJF5XV7Y0vWT8Rbd6Tjf5bXaE85sWG_hgiOsgqgbINyZ4VTshsMrkv4XwydXxXye_Z7cDCdoilpLtgr1isQFYA6p8utQZNCIZBplgFjkJibPLl-WKvvd6Rf_IW4MozEx3fnQVQWHeTrWv_qwehnAUbU/w320-h240/PGW.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Today, Thursday
the 21<sup>st</sup>, is the Winter Solstice here in the US.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the first time ever, last night I
ventured over to the Parowan Gap to catch the solstice sunset as it disappeared into
the gap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been unusually warm and
dry here this month, and the air temperature was a balmy 54</span><span style="font-variant: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">°</span><span style="font-variant: normal;"> when I
got there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went last night instead of
tonight because the sky cleared up in the afternoon, and I wanted to take
advantage of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is always a 5
day window for the solstices, as the movement of the sun appears to slow down
and stop before moving again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> So you have at least 5 days to do your ceremony! The photo above was taken by someone else. Note the snow on the ground!<br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I wasn’t quite
sure about where to stand for the viewing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is a hilly area, and it required going up and down some steep
slopes while I lined up my view and waited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Solstice is the start of my New Year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is a time to look back over the past year and let go or come to completion with

there is an opportunity to create a new energetic for the coming year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where a bowl burning or any other
ceremony comes into play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be
doing my burning tonight, releasing the old and embracing the new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Let me start
out by saying that those of you in the Southern Hemisphere can ignore a good
deal of this post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your time will come
in 6 months!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">We are now in
the darkest time of the year, leading up to the Winter Solstice on the 21<sup>st</sup>/22<sup>nd</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a time for quiet, solitude, and for
tilling your fertile ground in preparation for planting your seeds of manifestation
on the Solstice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the organic way
of being this time of year.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Most people are
experiencing just the opposite right now!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Recently a friend of mine asked me why I do not do Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of all, I am not a Christian, and do
not celebrate any religious holidays. This morning, I realized that since I am
in the Highly Sensitive Person category, holidays such as this can be
overwhelming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not like the 4<sup>th</sup>
of July, for example, where you go to a parade, watch some fireworks, and that’s
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christmas goes on for days and days.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">As a child, this time of year was simpler and
relatively trauma free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back when I was
married and had started on my spiritual path in a serious way, I just dreaded
the holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It got worse as the years
went by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I got divorced and started
my shamanic studies, I was literally ecstatic that I did not have to do this
anymore. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">So regardless
of your family and other obligations this time of year, I encourage all of you
to take enough time for yourself each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sit quietly and in a meditative state, gently go into the warm and dark
space of the void.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do your best to clear
out all of the business and distraction in preparation for the Solstice and the
planting of the new seeds for the coming year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">For those of you in the Southern hemisphere, you are having Summer Solstice coming up, but still all of the business of the holidays. It is a mixed bag. Nevertheless, take some time for yourself away from the holiday frenzy. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Blessings to
you all.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I have to say
that Peruvians love to celebrate, party, and have a good time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On my previous trips there, there has always
been some sort of event with parades, dancing and music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">This is my last post on the trip to Peru. Of course, there is much more to tell, but I did not want to make these posts into a travelogue!

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Machu Picchu is
an archaeological site northwest of Cusco and on the edge of the Amazon rain
forest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whereas Cusco sits at 11,300’,
Machu Picchu is about 3,000’ lower, warmer and more humid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was discovered by Hiram Bingham in
1911.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Excavation and reconstruction
began shortly after that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu">Here</a> is a link
that gives details about Machu Picchu.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Our group spent a few hours there the
afternoon after we arrived in Aguas Calientes, and a few hours the next morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had been there a few times, the latest in
2015, but things were quite different this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Previously, one rode from Aguas Calientes on
the bus up to the site, and purchased an entry ticket there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then one was free to wander around at will
and take time to look at everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now, all of the tickets must be purchased in town ahead of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One is restricted to a 2 ½ hour visit and
must use one of 4 pre determined routes around the site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the stairways that I previously used
are roped off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had also planned on
hiking up to the Sun Gate, which is where the hikers on the Inca Trail enter
above Machu Picchu, but that route is now not available to people who want to
go up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is one way down only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Nevertheless, I
felt like I was coming home as soon as I got there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was so familiar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was lovely with just a bit of
rain, and everything was green.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
rainy season had just started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Qn3z_uAfEsLzCyIGFh_lVqaaxff1uhIXqultrJ_1pKzcj2d3gW740Z7-S0UDv2UmE7I0tZXNGhBnsXOwVZNh2wTOzkRKDMq2RRlXdHXhXBCb373PSHz1hfY2boYSCulnGes6BZEvuoimZSqwB6DGhDryuqHzYiXIqs7AeE0UHBdLs5ldfMD-R4t4I2E/s5184/P1080509.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

together with other stones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalith">Here </a>is an
excellent article from Wikipedia on megaliths all around the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have seen many, and they always fascinate
me because of the mystery of their age and how they were moved and
arranged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On this trip we visited several
megalithic sites, including Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuaman and Machu Picchu, which
I will address in another post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I have
also come to believe that some of the very fine megalithic structures in Peru were
constructed by a pre Inca society and the Incas just appropriated these
sites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The methods of moving these
multi ton stones, carving them and putting them together had been lost by the
time the Incas arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also think
that these sites are much older than it is said that they are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can reference a book by Mark Carlotto
entitled “Before Atlantis, New Evidence of a Previous Technological
Civilization” for his research on this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">According to
Carlotto, the Temple of the Sun at Ollantaytambo in Peru was constructed to be
in alignment with where the North Pole was about 130,000 years ago in the
Bering Sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the site was
constructed using local stone, but the actual temple consists of 6 megaliths
weighing over 100 tons each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pink
granite was quarried from a nearby mountain top and brought down that mountain,
over a valley and up to where they were placed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">There is quite
a different situation regarding dogs and cats in Peru and I suspect in most Central
and South American countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of
all, very few cats were to be seen on this trip, and I think that the few that
we saw were feral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe we didn’t see
more of them because they were mostly out at night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am a sucker for cats since I have one of my
own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;">The kitten at
the top of this post looks a lot like the cat I have at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to scoop her up and take her back with me!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">This one was
huddled on the sidewalk outside out hotel in Chiclayo.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxdPIAT57IluFeghzRGzCySeUfK-O3BrdItBMlbwh1hu0V4euabqNfcEgFgTs7b3eOEq96n25YWZ4Ho9cfcvGdf-lmIiDAQ4wSIjJP0paIjIkP3jZjntsPG6dSFr5aM-FkqpS3BoINBgMBRApYT8slMVB-ycb_S9RQa_-KrWB5EVZKbCZqjGER8PUjJj8/s5184/P1070583.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxdPIAT57IluFeghzRGzCySeUfK-O3BrdItBMlbwh1hu0V4euabqNfcEgFgTs7b3eOEq96n25YWZ4Ho9cfcvGdf-lmIiDAQ4wSIjJP0paIjIkP3jZjntsPG6dSFr5aM-FkqpS3BoINBgMBRApYT8slMVB-ycb_S9RQa_-KrWB5EVZKbCZqjGER8PUjJj8/s320/P1070583.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>About half way

out of the way open air restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Hanging around
were a mother cat and 4 almost grown kittens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>2 calicos and 2 tabbies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
staff of the restaurant would shoo them away routinely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not know what they ate, but we took the
opportunity to drop morsels of food down to them when no one was looking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would eat anything, as opposed to cats
in the Western world that can be quite picky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I even reached down to scratch the mother cat on her head, and she
meowed at me in response. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkTHtht86K6NCxnF3cWUwlUFvIW5p6XqUgSAT-Ms-cx811YLoTRseTwd3LDSrQkVvJRDnvQ8Ha1FiYtNBYF-xuE561_EWXkIrPowgakzxMJ_A0-nKmMefHnNgE1QxQINqEfDoehAVUjgLEkfkIPuLsGYeu4hYsUOzFAT5fPfhID-iEZoc9dq7kat-XsE/s5184/P1070929.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkTHtht86K6NCxnF3cWUwlUFvIW5p6XqUgSAT-Ms-cx811YLoTRseTwd3LDSrQkVvJRDnvQ8Ha1FiYtNBYF-xuE561_EWXkIrPowgakzxMJ_A0-nKmMefHnNgE1QxQINqEfDoehAVUjgLEkfkIPuLsGYeu4hYsUOzFAT5fPfhID-iEZoc9dq7kat-XsE/s320/P1070929.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqIVRFN9o0lvXuvxccKOBnq8OV4zDEtYtJ4JCLp3qKBog2Q6O4PTzved7aAJRy_BPTDQM7u9a46MtuAkZjDSp0evGmoP9c__fC-83UVY5q_LrGTvxof88ypTVBfbOupkl60onrXMUnu1Bf1hLDByMTFzslP-XM9HY6rfy0n7LzTpkML6XMvx7s5U9H0Gg/s5184/P1070919.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqIVRFN9o0lvXuvxccKOBnq8OV4zDEtYtJ4JCLp3qKBog2Q6O4PTzved7aAJRy_BPTDQM7u9a46MtuAkZjDSp0evGmoP9c__fC-83UVY5q_LrGTvxof88ypTVBfbOupkl60onrXMUnu1Bf1hLDByMTFzslP-XM9HY6rfy0n7LzTpkML6XMvx7s5U9H0Gg/s320/P1070919.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Dogs were
another matter altogether.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They roamed
the streets at will, but we were told that they were not strays, even though
very few had collars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of them looked
well cared for, groomed and well fed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After one of
the ladies I was walking around Aguas Calientes with gave a nice looking German
shepherd a scratch on the head, he followed us back to our hotel, only to be
chased away by the security guard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most dogs
however, did not welcome human contact or being touched.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you had food, that was probably another
matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>

scoop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people who own dogs let them
out in the morning so that they can roam and play with their friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have quite a life of their own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is assumed that they return home at night
or when they are hungry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot of them
hang around where their owner works—a shop or restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
Cusco, we saw a few with coats on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
Lima, we were staying in the nicer part of town, and we saw numerous dog
walkers out with multiple dogs each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I remember
years ago when we were camping out at Raqchi in Peru when the village dogs started to
hang around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They all looked to be on
the scrawny side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the top dog in

October 14<sup>th</sup>, the day of the annular eclipse of the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The path of the totality of the eclipse ran
right through Utah, and if I was home, I would have enjoyed that exceptional
occurrence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before leaving on this trip,
I checked to see how much of an eclipse we would have in Peru.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was about 70%.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pretty good!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">This was also
the day when we visited the tomb and all of the artifacts of the Lord of Sipan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That morning, we went to the Huaca
Rajada-Sipan, first going through the small onsite museum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
up the hill to the actual huaca where 16 royal tombs had been discovered.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPHV2A_BHImxT3pn-mmFZ3brO2nJHSgjFNOYS-Th1DJEg3ziWxhJYy_5RFk26R6YoHgBr-OXxAtOnRECsWvnJlVqIxdDDK2gIdFsTSU2Qhey3pbQ2VTMOoMyfYMdqgVkmRm-Hk3yH9VTunPvWyInLDeIr43ZnwqftxxrYMWFPLN3dO32Uj5ouPVCnmLz0/s5184/P1070603.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPHV2A_BHImxT3pn-mmFZ3brO2nJHSgjFNOYS-Th1DJEg3ziWxhJYy_5RFk26R6YoHgBr-OXxAtOnRECsWvnJlVqIxdDDK2gIdFsTSU2Qhey3pbQ2VTMOoMyfYMdqgVkmRm-Hk3yH9VTunPvWyInLDeIr43ZnwqftxxrYMWFPLN3dO32Uj5ouPVCnmLz0/s320/P1070603.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixE_5eSjIPDjZFLzeSR7mX94XNusVEGqEk7nrhDaOC4Ke6VHB7a1u5v3i69XqNMztRQUfUmX_Oi6vpddUUQb7yHYn1ho1KTf2axKwmtKHaEjOXUbynLuDYoWEqVuqx9ywTG2ZA7y3zKdkY05fRcSNx9Bl7i-XhYgPEXyS8ZOK_X7VJxDwS8O6zFEznjkg/s5184/P1070609.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixE_5eSjIPDjZFLzeSR7mX94XNusVEGqEk7nrhDaOC4Ke6VHB7a1u5v3i69XqNMztRQUfUmX_Oi6vpddUUQb7yHYn1ho1KTf2axKwmtKHaEjOXUbynLuDYoWEqVuqx9ywTG2ZA7y3zKdkY05fRcSNx9Bl7i-XhYgPEXyS8ZOK_X7VJxDwS8O6zFEznjkg/s320/P1070609.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>All of the

Rajada-Sipan.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">The totality of
the eclipse would happen at about 1:05 PM, and I was hoping that we wouldn’t
miss is, so I was keeping my eye on the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We happened to be eating lunch in Lambayeque at that time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately, we were at a somewhat open air
restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the back of the restaurant
was where some ladies were washing dishes, and the ceiling of that room was
actually a woven reed affair with lots of spaces where the reeds crossed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was also an area of some tall plants
near our table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">As many of you
may know, a way of looking indirectly at an eclipse is at the shadow of the sun
shining through a small hole in a piece of paper, or between the leaves of a
tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At exactly 1:05, I got up and went
over to where the sun was shining between the leaves of the nearby
foliage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDXxry6B0-vE6qa-hlkVzioPTYQInh3JVGcHneHVY3x3AJn4E1XbJ-iuoeuqnNJ8AqUQ4i9AGnMNsh-VuW2qvUUV5Iuv6jiXjMfY_fetnt5mxaZMcLRB7G_0eMZtPogivPq-2E7B_zBebAis4MdcNGG7PaDHh4mAvkklNvTNSCahMt10W3DMdI1-RXWA/s5184/P1070645.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDXxry6B0-vE6qa-hlkVzioPTYQInh3JVGcHneHVY3x3AJn4E1XbJ-iuoeuqnNJ8AqUQ4i9AGnMNsh-VuW2qvUUV5Iuv6jiXjMfY_fetnt5mxaZMcLRB7G_0eMZtPogivPq-2E7B_zBebAis4MdcNGG7PaDHh4mAvkklNvTNSCahMt10W3DMdI1-RXWA/s320/P1070645.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>At the same time, I looked into
the room at the back of the restaurant and saw hundreds of little crescent moon
shapes on the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I went back there, the dish washing
ladies asked if they could help me, and all I had to do was to point to the
floor and start taking photos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They must
have thought I was nuts!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t take
long for several others of our group to do the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVwtPHxJlMsqzLJh0KSTdCL3SBRirawQWdOGAPD5btT-ihdXDjHUmDHOtOKTf8RsNGb8h5rBRIs415Hquim9Rd6zroVT6N-jyMDTJl7gB8pHK4mvLFnpzUV6aB05-YLRmjJJauc8Ty7gjBhd3HkDhhuVw81HIpcotIid_W67X3VX1sRg07_ks2PAhSvU/s5184/P1070650.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWVwtPHxJlMsqzLJh0KSTdCL3SBRirawQWdOGAPD5btT-ihdXDjHUmDHOtOKTf8RsNGb8h5rBRIs415Hquim9Rd6zroVT6N-jyMDTJl7gB8pHK4mvLFnpzUV6aB05-YLRmjJJauc8Ty7gjBhd3HkDhhuVw81HIpcotIid_W67X3VX1sRg07_ks2PAhSvU/s320/P1070650.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj986LwimBWMMvT7RucOAB8EQ_7ltS53rbcMbdPaqhia0m2pU5fdwQ3gMAHIdL6gTSzJag127aQSyAdTsYXjmYYowC3O4LJQk68rUW9Omim2M6r6Ur3f_kl-kcc8eVJx61JuEEcdgkEN5yUZFydDdGVyDuwFvV-7fOzDg4GICWc6k6rdzv4lfHZKu6BhpM/s5184/P1070651.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj986LwimBWMMvT7RucOAB8EQ_7ltS53rbcMbdPaqhia0m2pU5fdwQ3gMAHIdL6gTSzJag127aQSyAdTsYXjmYYowC3O4LJQk68rUW9Omim2M6r6Ur3f_kl-kcc8eVJx61JuEEcdgkEN5yUZFydDdGVyDuwFvV-7fOzDg4GICWc6k6rdzv4lfHZKu6BhpM/s320/P1070651.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbn2Sg6sO9JPlEsIh_YgTisKb9Uc8QfClj8t-MzNnR8nBZDlZWsyIwnaOGSjAjbePReqIFIJk5nLcBLvDZf1SPPikSb3K_M93lttoNQeL2ptJYIM03k5Zv8KDebui8PEEq-zYXfOQEdDjjXeogGJkYOGsPLrXXglp-QCBag3QxNj_bSMbLeQ55GyjFmQ/s5184/P1070653.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbn2Sg6sO9JPlEsIh_YgTisKb9Uc8QfClj8t-MzNnR8nBZDlZWsyIwnaOGSjAjbePReqIFIJk5nLcBLvDZf1SPPikSb3K_M93lttoNQeL2ptJYIM03k5Zv8KDebui8PEEq-zYXfOQEdDjjXeogGJkYOGsPLrXXglp-QCBag3QxNj_bSMbLeQ55GyjFmQ/s320/P1070653.JPG" width="320" /></a></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">The afternoon

I had for returning to Peru once again was to visit the northern coastal area
of the country, home to the ancient Moche, Sican, Chimu cultures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of these preceded the Inca conquest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the Inca barely made it to the
northern shore before the Spanish arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moche_culture">link</a> to information on the Moche culture of the Northern
Coast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Since this is a
coastal area and a giant flood plain created by debris washed down from the
Andes Mountains during rainy seasons, there is no building material per
se.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So all of the sacred temples, or
huacas, were constructed of mud bricks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
terrain is relatively flat and green.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We drove through fields of sugar cane, corn, and rice. </span>Every
once in a while, one could see what appeared to be a small mountain that was sandy
colored and badly furrowed by erosion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
were the huacas, which were ceremonial sites and burial grounds of the
elite.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBh87Ump0nHZhKRH6PMJxuI6k6q4M6ntONSrKhZdtPoFnPy67TYluUKajAC3hzlVccAcGaPOSagW9c7EieB4JiEkkNyz9-pAzYsSRjAXsmaNsbezHQhJ38JttXEyRbKDcbF9M_dhjXAVl_QByG2_OU57CbZJqtmeBimNjN7i5mIbXEcxLK1mo67l-n-8Y/s5184/P1070601.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3593" data-original-width="5184" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBh87Ump0nHZhKRH6PMJxuI6k6q4M6ntONSrKhZdtPoFnPy67TYluUKajAC3hzlVccAcGaPOSagW9c7EieB4JiEkkNyz9-pAzYsSRjAXsmaNsbezHQhJ38JttXEyRbKDcbF9M_dhjXAVl_QByG2_OU57CbZJqtmeBimNjN7i5mIbXEcxLK1mo67l-n-8Y/s320/P1070601.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">We visited

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">After a while, going
through museum after museum, it all became a blur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One very interesting display at one of the
last museums that we went through showed a San Pedro cactus healing
ceremony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That brought back memories of my shamanic training.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shaman spreads out his blanket and arranges
all of his healing tools and potions on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the opposite end of the blanket, he lines up several swords that are
stuck straight into the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The client stands behind the swords.</span>The
shaman and the client both drink the San Pedro, so both are in an altered state
during the healing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the shaman
chants, he can see an energetic connection go out from himself and through one

surprise for me was the presence of burrowing owls at many of the sites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the United States, these owls live mostly in
abandoned prairie dog burrows in the summer, and then they migrate south in the
winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There in Peru, they were
permanent residents and did not migrate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They nest in cavities in the ruins, and sometimes dig their own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently when I was there, it was their
mating season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw lots of fighting and
chasing among the owls. It was quite entertaining!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact,
at one site, there was so much of that going on that no one really listened to
the local guide giving his talk.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4C6EAE6PCFocVYWGjUy8UUKT7wZ0nB13J4npX_Jh1CfHTWy95QxKE_oZLRgwZftHvuNppjrj25hPqn2-N9657P98uyus-JuhcYJx5u9mw-af0VBasPBBGCCClY7togty5krSZrw2Tend7amoStSLCIAi0aT4QYDracg-CGS56OL7eBTljjM5-sW5OGU/s2624/P1090510.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1968" data-original-width="2624" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4C6EAE6PCFocVYWGjUy8UUKT7wZ0nB13J4npX_Jh1CfHTWy95QxKE_oZLRgwZftHvuNppjrj25hPqn2-N9657P98uyus-JuhcYJx5u9mw-af0VBasPBBGCCClY7togty5krSZrw2Tend7amoStSLCIAi0aT4QYDracg-CGS56OL7eBTljjM5-sW5OGU/s320/P1090510.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihMwtj0SrgW4xHsQbKT4AP3xRNYWSkkdpSjZncg9A_45lM6EUyHjTlqG9kRSvR0-5WN0UAr_UkOUK1js5RmRU5eHCddaV97Tvi2UtC_WGd1gkiwhH6kWcluTvAFjYpEq0l8yEzTBVmAS21ZMwblTcA5yaDeWHVYkNWjCQABYUu913eMbg_ESD_pyijpzw/s2624/P1070568.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1968" data-original-width="2624" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihMwtj0SrgW4xHsQbKT4AP3xRNYWSkkdpSjZncg9A_45lM6EUyHjTlqG9kRSvR0-5WN0UAr_UkOUK1js5RmRU5eHCddaV97Tvi2UtC_WGd1gkiwhH6kWcluTvAFjYpEq0l8yEzTBVmAS21ZMwblTcA5yaDeWHVYkNWjCQABYUu913eMbg_ESD_pyijpzw/s320/P1070568.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1t-T74i3UANjfds5sMKzh40SWzecmcHKdZUI1LDMbpAQ97xBwGccYS2kINCHhUdn_BGrSPtkLOOWULqoIVz_PTP5CRMR9EeVAQEjtkSx3FtlqU1iraiuAhyphenhyphenCrGNCon7IKxKzScZbInQOEMizvVl0GNbVbV5ndbip1jUtpVKWjjYeSBb2DoZ4Oo5ThPA/s2624/P1070562.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1968" data-original-width="2624" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1t-T74i3UANjfds5sMKzh40SWzecmcHKdZUI1LDMbpAQ97xBwGccYS2kINCHhUdn_BGrSPtkLOOWULqoIVz_PTP5CRMR9EeVAQEjtkSx3FtlqU1iraiuAhyphenhyphenCrGNCon7IKxKzScZbInQOEMizvVl0GNbVbV5ndbip1jUtpVKWjjYeSBb2DoZ4Oo5ThPA/s320/P1070562.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDx81vbekrjZ-64h6DzNi3STkwAs7aZJAlME7So0SCbzwGgi5My_JDMWZPCN1gFRZ2Ajc3ZZos7xS4R2f9kBp-EwMUC42OJiB_sru4hxZwqooWEZaD5Bynvg67gj0fDt_NcPNrxn-A86ztxR1ujaYs85uZwt9zpMrotqTbGnaK54zGUEmIKPjzfUKcL8M/s5184/P1070553.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDx81vbekrjZ-64h6DzNi3STkwAs7aZJAlME7So0SCbzwGgi5My_JDMWZPCN1gFRZ2Ajc3ZZos7xS4R2f9kBp-EwMUC42OJiB_sru4hxZwqooWEZaD5Bynvg67gj0fDt_NcPNrxn-A86ztxR1ujaYs85uZwt9zpMrotqTbGnaK54zGUEmIKPjzfUKcL8M/s320/P1070553.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Bb2suVrNCqJre3nvkbB6WyFu-583g2XkbPo6-3hb-3alksISPBXs7LZbwY8D1eaMeF14YHgszhi1P-So_wAq4C8i0hAssJcT5_5n8NKMlNqfkPxfaSmUm4nzoiNvl9xAxXYpxXoPYj-A2K9eAD1SEHb7DmLveU7YmOq6vbMH2V4Oxk4FQbDyFWoKbh4/s5184/P1070405.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Bb2suVrNCqJre3nvkbB6WyFu-583g2XkbPo6-3hb-3alksISPBXs7LZbwY8D1eaMeF14YHgszhi1P-So_wAq4C8i0hAssJcT5_5n8NKMlNqfkPxfaSmUm4nzoiNvl9xAxXYpxXoPYj-A2K9eAD1SEHb7DmLveU7YmOq6vbMH2V4Oxk4FQbDyFWoKbh4/s320/P1070405.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>So there you have it.

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">So here I
am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got back from a fairly grueling
and action packed trip to Peru about a week ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has taken me this long to get readjusted
and back into my routine!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not plan
to detail the trip, only some highlights and interesting adventures that I
had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But for today, this post is a good
start.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">In the past 2
weeks, I had an opportunity to walk 3 different labyrinths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-variant: normal;">The
first one was in Peru</span><span style="font-variant: normal;">, and the other 2 were here after I got back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the hotels
that our group stayed in was near Urubamba in the Sacred Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This valley is located in between Cusco and Machu
Picchu, and is at an elevation of about 9,000'.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was probably the loveliest of the various places where we stayed,
and I was told that it is a known “destination” resort for weddings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whole valley and the surrounding mountains
are full of Inca ruins and terraces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here
are some photos of the resort, which is on the grounds of a former Spanish hacienda.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwQGPKa2VkkOevIb1g46LhDdTWn2Rv6RyDKstLnH-96EYFYj4VqlXxuK8Esef8mFAC9VuwOX0wtjuo6YEBfjwzBoEePmURDsPmZ6Z4m1YnYBN63YSR6RtjaHqYMYQdOfYJgcnCKW8JnP4qmyUn8cu8akDUdE_De22TIjcI930YvOJ9hgsi5tZ8uvMeNR4/s5184/P1080028.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwQGPKa2VkkOevIb1g46LhDdTWn2Rv6RyDKstLnH-96EYFYj4VqlXxuK8Esef8mFAC9VuwOX0wtjuo6YEBfjwzBoEePmURDsPmZ6Z4m1YnYBN63YSR6RtjaHqYMYQdOfYJgcnCKW8JnP4qmyUn8cu8akDUdE_De22TIjcI930YvOJ9hgsi5tZ8uvMeNR4/s320/P1080028.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS7t0OvwlgPFhei9RxGdUzH4OYxbtc1bn1DJQ4gIncfS_-8k_AsQ1oZ0TPZWlx95kxHFWdjpp7q_Bzytk5VVoHofO120sF6SyofN_4QhJ2ov-tlsDoGcg7YK9jbsjPItXK6h9W0J1tIQuRiIix0KGmHa2zQwwKzkC4dRkOGQyTH9ULvZxYq908kbUsPc/s5184/P1080029.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS7t0OvwlgPFhei9RxGdUzH4OYxbtc1bn1DJQ4gIncfS_-8k_AsQ1oZ0TPZWlx95kxHFWdjpp7q_Bzytk5VVoHofO120sF6SyofN_4QhJ2ov-tlsDoGcg7YK9jbsjPItXK6h9W0J1tIQuRiIix0KGmHa2zQwwKzkC4dRkOGQyTH9ULvZxYq908kbUsPc/s320/P1080029.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3KCf8dk3YDsFr3xryjj0K35tKgnJa7LPKGUSvi7fUSB2sWNyLbnF515mj31SybcEhyOX0TtIb1Fbnkz_3qW-9cdJCqlsxbnm23fscGkfvslh0OvCTc84-s6d_n5xwwgWWKC_Bhf4ZHWOJE6vC4dfGkHHONzi6g8R9s36de_66C_CahyphenhyphenehkJ7TJb_60U/s5184/P1080027.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3KCf8dk3YDsFr3xryjj0K35tKgnJa7LPKGUSvi7fUSB2sWNyLbnF515mj31SybcEhyOX0TtIb1Fbnkz_3qW-9cdJCqlsxbnm23fscGkfvslh0OvCTc84-s6d_n5xwwgWWKC_Bhf4ZHWOJE6vC4dfGkHHONzi6g8R9s36de_66C_CahyphenhyphenehkJ7TJb_60U/s320/P1080027.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv-XegWOPZ-PscQo4vGvMRtyfKVbnQT060CIG29lLCcTpjp9gFP9cSFXltl0sc1SqCWFOPfiyv2TcTyI648F0RhTqCd22OWlpZkkH1kB-30DXKZprf5jua3TzzA_lddf-fbj2CfQRPfXDuy0o-YJh6O_yYByHsmUFjkMoKNbVdKYJg0M8EPSs2-pHU9qc/s5184/P1080014.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv-XegWOPZ-PscQo4vGvMRtyfKVbnQT060CIG29lLCcTpjp9gFP9cSFXltl0sc1SqCWFOPfiyv2TcTyI648F0RhTqCd22OWlpZkkH1kB-30DXKZprf5jua3TzzA_lddf-fbj2CfQRPfXDuy0o-YJh6O_yYByHsmUFjkMoKNbVdKYJg0M8EPSs2-pHU9qc/s320/P1080014.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPFb5zs4ozIHbI0f0HacDTxjnmK3h7ToUt5l3Dx683Fal-bNZHvSo9UEOopT7ork_yQkLxluPDYcCqZfJIxX5_ULxYhKeFxAOSWfLsJfAMzHF4baR5LJjByubJjF91SpYMSgVcIhP5ArDUeZ1df6YX4tUp7l0lvILXPpp1PKqNlICeW7b4vai9ykvkzh0/s5184/P1080166.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPFb5zs4ozIHbI0f0HacDTxjnmK3h7ToUt5l3Dx683Fal-bNZHvSo9UEOopT7ork_yQkLxluPDYcCqZfJIxX5_ULxYhKeFxAOSWfLsJfAMzHF4baR5LJjByubJjF91SpYMSgVcIhP5ArDUeZ1df6YX4tUp7l0lvILXPpp1PKqNlICeW7b4vai9ykvkzh0/s320/P1080166.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-variant: normal;">After 3 days

was the monthly walk at our local labyrinth at the Cedar City Episcopal
Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not have any photos of it,
but I will try to remember to take some next time.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Wednesday, November
1<sup>st</sup>, All Saints Day, I had a special event to attend south in St George,
so I thought that I would walk the Desert Rose outdoor labyrinth while I was
down there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is located west of town
out in a fairly scrubby and deserted area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I got there, there was a sizeable group from a local retreat
center walking, so I sat on a bench and waited until they were finished. That was a nice tranquil interlude. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcnWPruB-2R-H6egDgFNtybhmSa0L-sOQD5t0mFatHtXrCAJhHDB3LNlw96-zVHOtoIJF-1aBBSfW8rbC9W49FRnQLfJU3xaV3EG5Fadl4Sy64Omsb8XJ2ToQrvm5Cenf0FVcRdLtpG8jlS2Rafw0vxwguAIXkMBl7-THwO237cstsaF9x6uYJBrzuGlE/s5184/P1090572.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcnWPruB-2R-H6egDgFNtybhmSa0L-sOQD5t0mFatHtXrCAJhHDB3LNlw96-zVHOtoIJF-1aBBSfW8rbC9W49FRnQLfJU3xaV3EG5Fadl4Sy64Omsb8XJ2ToQrvm5Cenf0FVcRdLtpG8jlS2Rafw0vxwguAIXkMBl7-THwO237cstsaF9x6uYJBrzuGlE/s320/P1090572.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsjStcYBm3-gCtZuO1KnYTeNVFk91yJ3pKIMJMGs3OlJFrcmxTKQIAJ6sOfuv4h3gqNLqjMgy01bKKevFIk1zbaaJX7JD_Ik1gf7N66zrVdFYu3YVvxtvbPb62EEKS-0msUrjc01VsOsN-0nwFcvGIZKG-gbXddhUAZwPExqwCRvtWeLUyFy9iqVaPhI/s5184/P1090573.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsjStcYBm3-gCtZuO1KnYTeNVFk91yJ3pKIMJMGs3OlJFrcmxTKQIAJ6sOfuv4h3gqNLqjMgy01bKKevFIk1zbaaJX7JD_Ik1gf7N66zrVdFYu3YVvxtvbPb62EEKS-0msUrjc01VsOsN-0nwFcvGIZKG-gbXddhUAZwPExqwCRvtWeLUyFy9iqVaPhI/s320/P1090573.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMVjcWJ4Ls8QksORgHjzKs2AdSb85H_ECBmHpqnvOCH9vWZMFD4fbp0zGWsWE3mNEyrOli74clMxqwfLUdhvLGk-M6R_9ZPfIEw8gbilqxfVz25mMafSlyOMlKD8hm_294zpA6ICihoIFnWF7y9G5PYl-C_COkwfuUK86uXYrBxWYTDztTSPQR6NHwCrQ/s5184/P1090579.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMVjcWJ4Ls8QksORgHjzKs2AdSb85H_ECBmHpqnvOCH9vWZMFD4fbp0zGWsWE3mNEyrOli74clMxqwfLUdhvLGk-M6R_9ZPfIEw8gbilqxfVz25mMafSlyOMlKD8hm_294zpA6ICihoIFnWF7y9G5PYl-C_COkwfuUK86uXYrBxWYTDztTSPQR6NHwCrQ/s320/P1090579.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBGdGLG3yppyc1De1-ed0D9bJiC0V2Arni_ISxrR6r325m49DL9yB-4xKgqF_Apw7ItB8UM_C1X1BHfJeaJLa1ENcN__EKZRpXMEoAftGPjfnvbYMw9GTVJhHjavVy_Eqmq-vXQDa1AomubPz_22Qom-NjadrT8OOVutnlLyTpnwIh06_UoTEqbp-AUQ/s5184/P1090592.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBGdGLG3yppyc1De1-ed0D9bJiC0V2Arni_ISxrR6r325m49DL9yB-4xKgqF_Apw7ItB8UM_C1X1BHfJeaJLa1ENcN__EKZRpXMEoAftGPjfnvbYMw9GTVJhHjavVy_Eqmq-vXQDa1AomubPz_22Qom-NjadrT8OOVutnlLyTpnwIh06_UoTEqbp-AUQ/s320/P1090592.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UDBBOvQ4OXYARn2HTa-999JvwlVtCPtnLeiv8YDl5hWZQD7_ox8iXPPAifLla0wAf7a_yilBpOlf7SpPkj9uisdxAjOYqYQfDCbN0lGq-7uBcaGOGXoJVUjoA50EOh42AFsshAgLHUknHt3WwUNEirnBDWX7lCWXaUCCmnuPyTbyYMORYLVm4jimyXU/s5184/P1090585.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UDBBOvQ4OXYARn2HTa-999JvwlVtCPtnLeiv8YDl5hWZQD7_ox8iXPPAifLla0wAf7a_yilBpOlf7SpPkj9uisdxAjOYqYQfDCbN0lGq-7uBcaGOGXoJVUjoA50EOh42AFsshAgLHUknHt3WwUNEirnBDWX7lCWXaUCCmnuPyTbyYMORYLVm4jimyXU/s320/P1090585.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">So for all 3

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Right now I am
packing up for a trip out of the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Peru to be exact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be gone
until almost the end of October, so you will not be hearing from me for a
while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The focus of the trip is
archaeology of the northern coast, but of course Machu Picchu and Cusco will be
included, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never been to the
northern coast, so that will be quite interesting for me.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I recently read
a book entitled “Before Atlantis: New Evidence of a Previous Technological
Civilization” by Mark Carlotto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fascinating!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The premise is that many ancient
archaeological sites around the world were aligned with previous locations of
the North Pole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to our
present North Pole location, Carlotto pinpoints 4 other North Pole locations
and their associated ancient alignments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are talking pole shifts here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
his research, he goes back to 130,000 years ago and comes forward from that
point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I have traveled
to many megalithic sites, and have often wondered about how the ancient people moved
and precisely cut those multi ton stones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have some ideas, but those can’t
be proven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On this trip I will be
visiting many of the sites listed in his book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps I can tune into the energy of those ancient people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my travels I have been multiple times to some of the
locations in his book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There must be a
reason as to why I am attracted to Egypt, Turkey, Mexico, the Maya lands and
Peru.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">My assumption
always was that I had the megalithic stone moving and cutting skill in my DNA, inherited from an ancient ancestor
of mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some time ago, however, I had
the insight that this was not a genetic knowledge that I can recover, but past
life knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, knowledge
not in my DNA, but in my soul’s experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Have you ever gotten a “zing” when visiting a sacred or ancient
site?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have had a past life
experience there!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Carlotto’s
premise is that these ancient sites were built by people who are no longer on
the planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He calls them the Naacal, which means “The
Exalted”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They may or may not have been our genetic
ancestors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I write this, a thought
occurred that these may also have been the people who created the structures on Mars,
and then came here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Anyway, the information
in his book gives me additional ideas to work with on my trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be keeping a journal so that I can
record my insights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am hoping that I will
have much to share when I get back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Our on line
launching group is taking a break for now, so I thought I’d suggest something
that you can try at home on your own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Keep in mind that I have not tried this myself, as I journey in
different ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be an
experiment!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">The purpose of
a group launching is for each person in turn to expand their consciousness and
get launched out as far as they can go to have a variety of experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are mapping the cosmos in addition to preparing
for when we leave our bodies for the last time in this lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The premise is that at that moment we will
exit out of the 4<sup>th</sup> dimensional matrix and be free of the wheel of reincarnation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To make it clear, we are not doing astral
travel/out of body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are expanding our
consciousness out as far as we can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
we drop our physical form for the last time, our consciousness is all that we will
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The astral body is a 4<sup>th</sup>
dimensional construct that is only functional in 4 D.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Here is the
process that you might try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure that
you are in a quiet place with no possibility of being disturbed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not even by someone in the next room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Actually, I am
thinking that noise cancelling headphones would do the trick if they fit
comfortably without distraction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lay
down flat on the floor or in bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://thecarlafoxblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/grounding.html">Ground</a> yourself and wait until you are totally calm and relaxed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take your time here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then set your intent for your journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can look back at my previous posts on the
launchings for examples of intents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your
intent will steer your journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Otherwise you may find yourself just floating around aimlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">When you are
ready, start expanding your <a href="https://thecarlafoxblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/core-essence.html">Core Essence</a>, just like you are blowing up a big
balloon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use your breath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is your 5 D and beyond vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get it as
big as you can, and then launch yourself by releasing an explosive blast of
breath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will expand your 5 D bubble
out even further.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that you are
always at the center of your Core Essence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is like your own personal space ship!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then just wait and see what you get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">It is important
to keep your focus of attention on the furthest edge of your bubble, not back in
your body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your intent will take you to
the correct spot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you would like to
go further out, use your breath to expand out more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are the captain of your ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not let your mind start to work the
journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give it a rest and be your own observer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">When launching
with groups, we always have a time keeper that signals the end of the journey so
we can bring the journeyer back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our maximum
is 6 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are doing this on
your own, you would probably just come back naturally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The time it takes would be different for each
individual. You can play around with this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe your journey will be short at the start, or maybe you will fall
asleep!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or anything in-between.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
can also launch more than once in a row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Quite often, I found that on the second launching, I started out where
the previous one left off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Make this
fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not a job or a test!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be exploring, so who knows what you
may find!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you decide to go for it, I would
appreciate any comments or questions here on the blog, and not in personal
e-mails.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can all learn from each
other in this way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good luck.</span> <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-20629819528952956982023-09-23T12:28:00.006-07:002023-09-23T12:34:23.085-07:00Happy Equinox<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjCg75A2tQPuDSsznlT4Qtws8DSQoZTzQVKvBUol5MRWZwVl_jBKdN_5F0aC1t218AmYEks8nS4u6Xnq2VvGggPCTFeZxal0nBMisrAJ3yTJxjg610BVruQX2j3HL_VyogJr1KPqIR0XkKBYFtU0xIBIq1RWN9_L6inQC2ceb0jRe2grSqhRW1_rpTGlE/s5184/P1030051.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjCg75A2tQPuDSsznlT4Qtws8DSQoZTzQVKvBUol5MRWZwVl_jBKdN_5F0aC1t218AmYEks8nS4u6Xnq2VvGggPCTFeZxal0nBMisrAJ3yTJxjg610BVruQX2j3HL_VyogJr1KPqIR0XkKBYFtU0xIBIq1RWN9_L6inQC2ceb0jRe2grSqhRW1_rpTGlE/s320/P1030051.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Today all over
the world is the Equinox, where daylight and nighttime hours are the same length.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This happens twice a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The theme of the equinox is balance,
equality, and harmony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you feel that
you are out of balance physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually, this
is the perfect time to set things right with some sort of spiritual activity
such as a bowl burning, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a meditation,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or a visit to a sacred place such as a
labyrinth or high energy place out in nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While participating in your chosen activity, set a strong intent that
any imbalance be corrected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The energy
of the sun and the earth will collaborate on your behalf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How wonderful that this happens twice a year!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Last night, I
drove out to one of my favorite sacred locations to observe the setting
sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the Parowan Gap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ancient people did their ceremonies here, and
I like to imagine and feel that I am walking in their footsteps each time I
visit the site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">I left the
house a bit later than I normally would, but got there in time to capture the
setting sun going down through the gap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
I watched the sun set, I strongly expressed my intent for balance and harmony
in my life, at the same time allowing the power of the sun to enter my body to
facilitate transformation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below are
some of the photos of the event.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlVnFG-953DtEiq7KN1Ubvxg7XRsVIf17pgRMU8KiZE3DOT2eVdjOPwyo749m541XlFWn2ObGfP7Sgz3xixVgmUWoDJdWeuxaByr2LN47LQBY6rcj9VmFAeyp8mniRvhRDmZB4LzCFPQiiZo7eMn3np_vKwNSz0OlOeh4ySFWwswq11mdXq1HmIsdS1Ls/s5184/P1060588.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlVnFG-953DtEiq7KN1Ubvxg7XRsVIf17pgRMU8KiZE3DOT2eVdjOPwyo749m541XlFWn2ObGfP7Sgz3xixVgmUWoDJdWeuxaByr2LN47LQBY6rcj9VmFAeyp8mniRvhRDmZB4LzCFPQiiZo7eMn3np_vKwNSz0OlOeh4ySFWwswq11mdXq1HmIsdS1Ls/s320/P1060588.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH6usSjPtcIkSERTjE-l01MYLrT08K4ttC5sue67DocliHAH8KcO1OGRyO2eH6sVmBXQSLxb_MTRewkW4lplcjnUS-wgqGGVU52DUCnW-jbeh9hu7poxM2mF5inIJDjem_UPMSM4iYrvI3J3bnz2RrJIUQTh5_gzoZ3wkhy6NZkTPigzkCkdY1dtmLzrE/s5184/P1060598.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH6usSjPtcIkSERTjE-l01MYLrT08K4ttC5sue67DocliHAH8KcO1OGRyO2eH6sVmBXQSLxb_MTRewkW4lplcjnUS-wgqGGVU52DUCnW-jbeh9hu7poxM2mF5inIJDjem_UPMSM4iYrvI3J3bnz2RrJIUQTh5_gzoZ3wkhy6NZkTPigzkCkdY1dtmLzrE/s320/P1060598.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcPCCYbsFAOIJltwUtv1SvS3PCu9_uyzleeOK-CMuhqBjIi9t0MvD7XCOsjwFrlBOL6RDvunsCrbyJYFgRiVMjR-iP24WRlyaDSCX7BbQ81JmokKUjVqGJlR_QnYxUVNrfXqsskTwWCPCzjzCuqicO8MCUGp2Tm4sQdQILdBxHBh1aO22kGGgbnSROhVs/s5184/P1060606.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcPCCYbsFAOIJltwUtv1SvS3PCu9_uyzleeOK-CMuhqBjIi9t0MvD7XCOsjwFrlBOL6RDvunsCrbyJYFgRiVMjR-iP24WRlyaDSCX7BbQ81JmokKUjVqGJlR_QnYxUVNrfXqsskTwWCPCzjzCuqicO8MCUGp2Tm4sQdQILdBxHBh1aO22kGGgbnSROhVs/s320/P1060606.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdg3SXMj5cBWcJxP4R7wMzh7FLaKx2sAYoLKuFlQg3GpJ9_HtJWUsigY4mY-8VlejHbMDyK_XEY8sqX23FPsIOVagF_SkYuo4UeDLI-RTp744GxlEyKQcf1S9kaHpTcSQ0Z0FvKTsW-fSPJR3Gcb940adfcUVniG9sReuUN0vBrzfLG5hMZJLWRbrXis/s5184/P1060612.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdg3SXMj5cBWcJxP4R7wMzh7FLaKx2sAYoLKuFlQg3GpJ9_HtJWUsigY4mY-8VlejHbMDyK_XEY8sqX23FPsIOVagF_SkYuo4UeDLI-RTp744GxlEyKQcf1S9kaHpTcSQ0Z0FvKTsW-fSPJR3Gcb940adfcUVniG9sReuUN0vBrzfLG5hMZJLWRbrXis/s320/P1060612.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqoUSohRasADOuh6-xgJQ1noPzrKwBQJ-EFmSTlCzxOrPkVh1weLMaanefhk5xSPGGm_cs-frli6p3TJijgou0aor6XRBgfmC8Np0CS7d_nB--wZ6eyWN6r-pLSNaXsfTH6tSDHW73mJ4vzMn5Frx4M5O9hWsDJfJlakR5uZeHfwZdMaerYHAkdarsj88/s5184/P1060619.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqoUSohRasADOuh6-xgJQ1noPzrKwBQJ-EFmSTlCzxOrPkVh1weLMaanefhk5xSPGGm_cs-frli6p3TJijgou0aor6XRBgfmC8Np0CS7d_nB--wZ6eyWN6r-pLSNaXsfTH6tSDHW73mJ4vzMn5Frx4M5O9hWsDJfJlakR5uZeHfwZdMaerYHAkdarsj88/s320/P1060619.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>A<span style="font-variant: normal;">s soon as the

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">It has been
widely reported by near death experiencers that upon leaving their body and going
through the tunnel of light, they have a life review.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This involves seeing a rapidly moving “summary
“of their life’s experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The life
review is often described by those who have experienced it as "<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">having their life flash before their eyes</span>".</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">It is my
understanding that during this review, positive and negative aspects of the life
are shown to the person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notice that I say
“shown”, as this is not an organic dumping of the consciousness’s remembrances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whoever is in charge of this process
orchestrates the whole thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
some kind of harvesting of memories going on here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">The aspect of
the life review that I would like to address here is the viewing of one’s
mistakes and how their misdeeds have affected others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is most often experienced by the person
as if they were feeling what the other person felt at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus creating guilt and regret for one’s past
actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">This is where
the scam takes hold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep in mind that
the whole reincarnational process is designed to keep humans stuck here so that
they are recycled lifetime after lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We provide food for the ones
orchestrating this through the stimulation of our negative emotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is the food that is created for their consumption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No humans, no food, so we are not allowed to
escape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BTW—I believe that in ages past,
a few were able to leave the 4 D arena, but for whatever reason, very few if
any have gotten out for thousands of years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perhaps the vibration of the planet was higher in the past making it
easier for one to raise their own personal vibration and leave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">It is important
to be informed as to the true spiritual nature of our life here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of all, we are all following a plan set
out by our higher aspects, soul, and those that we have chosen to interact with
this time around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems like there
are “victims” and “perpetrators”, but that is simply an illusion and the collaboration between
2 souls for their mutual growth and evolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> And perhaps just for the experience that that scenario provides! </span>No harm no foul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just the
learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When one hurts, damages, or
kills another, that is part of the plan and the agreement between the two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">So what is
there to regret?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is there to be
guilty of?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, knowing this does not give
one permission to wreak havoc willfully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is a clear moral compass built into a truly spiritual life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Getting back to
the life review, the whole thing is designed to stimulate guilt and regret so that
the soul desires to come back into another incarnation to try to do better and
make amends one more time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having this
belief system guarantees that one will never get it totally right, thus experiencing
the never ending loop of the reincarnational cycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I also realized
quite a while ago that any thought or emotion that comes up and causes us to
feel bad about ourselves is an ET program!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If that feeling comes up for me, such as when delving into certain past
events, I just tell myself that it is a program, and the self judgment melts
away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I refuse to create food for whomever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">What I
recommend is that all of you really embrace the knowledge that every
interaction between you and another is a pre-planned co-creative collaboration
no matter what it looks like in real time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is no guilt and no regret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You are just following your script!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What do you do if you find yourself in circumstances where a life review
has started to flash before your eyes?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t
get sucked in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can even refuse to watch!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have just left your body upon death, I
am hoping that you have enough escape velocity to zoom right through the 4<sup>th</sup>
dimension where all of this funny business takes place, thus avoiding the whole
issue altogether.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then of course, you
have escaped and are free to pursue other experiences out of the 4D
matrix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Knowledge is
key.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be informed and embrace a paradigm
other that what has been promoted by the ones who would like to keep us
here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-59304614688033154252023-09-01T09:56:00.000-07:002023-09-01T09:56:57.430-07:00Unity Consciousness<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncPt1COmCpFIB8qnBkxB4-RKh3x3SA_q_GNmQyicHvSCeaLHpO9sYHVSFGvxbA8d41Lo0CfL4T1ZehLKZhsWse7sXDOAuKTt71B_GaHJJ7wlhwrlIhnvoFJjqzBqFUPQj4yiPnWvrKbDK_XlNfHTlx1M1TWkWywlu0Ilgv6pa4rel6vnDrZ75BDg9Is0/s279/bubbles1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="279" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncPt1COmCpFIB8qnBkxB4-RKh3x3SA_q_GNmQyicHvSCeaLHpO9sYHVSFGvxbA8d41Lo0CfL4T1ZehLKZhsWse7sXDOAuKTt71B_GaHJJ7wlhwrlIhnvoFJjqzBqFUPQj4yiPnWvrKbDK_XlNfHTlx1M1TWkWywlu0Ilgv6pa4rel6vnDrZ75BDg9Is0/s1600/bubbles1.jpg" width="279" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">This past
weekend, I hosted our remote launching group to come and spend 3+ days in
beautiful SW Utah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Planned activities
included ceremony at the top of Brian Head Mountain, where there is a very
powerful vortex, a day hiking at Zion National Park, an opportunity to walk the
local labyrinth and an in person launching, among others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All these activities were designed to enhance
their spiritual healing and evolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I have had all
of these people in classes that I have taught, in-person launchings, healing
sessions, and other unrelated trips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They know each other well, but hadn’t gotten together in person for
several years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was looking forward to
a few days of camaraderie with like minded souls, something that I rarely have
any more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately that was not to
be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a variety of reasons that I will
not go into here, the group never really gelled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do trust however that everyone got what
they needed from the experience as a whole.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Our last
activity was the launching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My intent
was to experience the structure of unity consciousness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After expanding my consciousness, I experienced
myself as a clear bubble floating in space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Around me were other clear bubbles of the same size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all identical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then came together and merged into one
bubble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As soon as that happened, the
process repeated with more bubbles of the same size coming together into an
even larger bubble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And over and
over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Now I am not
saying that we all have to be the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That would be pretty boring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
for a group to truly come together there has to be a common intent and similar
vibrational level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is especially
true for spiritually evolving beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is why it can be so hard for us to find like minded souls and
activities that are fulfilling on many levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nevertheless, our primary goal should always be to do our own work to
the best of our abilities at all times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We may not find our kindred souls until we pass out of our physical bodies
for the last time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-18123011520882421642023-08-21T14:41:00.000-07:002023-08-21T14:41:31.051-07:00Leaving the Trap<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCYHojOx0LVfIMpEnL5vQE7VhS_lqzQ5OJNSisUaxaFJqn6539hUZpNr4T7bBvtM8rEvQwxhUH1y7Nf54mUExgGj2HZDr97h2LYKF3muyk9YyckGIxVWRwBdXU4XrP5mUbTnTyyRB63t7Spxd6hjnE-8UACUP8rCWQ5t_0QmIls_uARG7Z21p1YirrDZA/s293/41e5WxlqrwL._SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_FMwebp_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="184" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCYHojOx0LVfIMpEnL5vQE7VhS_lqzQ5OJNSisUaxaFJqn6539hUZpNr4T7bBvtM8rEvQwxhUH1y7Nf54mUExgGj2HZDr97h2LYKF3muyk9YyckGIxVWRwBdXU4XrP5mUbTnTyyRB63t7Spxd6hjnE-8UACUP8rCWQ5t_0QmIls_uARG7Z21p1YirrDZA/s1600/41e5WxlqrwL._SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_FMwebp_.jpg" width="184" /></a></div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">I am thrilled
to be able to present this information to all of you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few weeks ago, I listened to an interview
on Coast to Coast AM radio featuring Isabella Greene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine my astonishment and pleasure to learn
that she shares the same beliefs around how to leave the reincarnational cycle
as I do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, we have had different
experiences and use some different terminology, but the basic premise is
exactly the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her book is “Leaving the
Trap: How to Exit the Reincarnational Cycle”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">In her book,
she gives clear examples from her own experiences, as well as information on
how we got here, why we are trapped, and how we can get out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that for myself, I want to make sure
that this is my last lifetime in the Earth arena, as do so many of you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
also written about this numerous times in this blog, and you can use the search
bar on the upper left of any page to gather that information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My insights have been gathered from our
monthly launchings, guided meditations, and classes at the Monroe Institute
among other sources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, early on during
a course at TMI, I saw the hierarchy and beings that are running the reincarnational
program for planet earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">Isabella gives
lots of helpful information on how to prepare for your final exit from this
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also have a recorded workshop
entitled “The Journey Through Death and Beyond” <a href="http://www.quantumstargate.com/Tools-for-Transition.html">here</a> that maps the route that
you will take upon leaving the body for the last time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal !important;">This recommended
book is very short and to the point, and an easy read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge will be using her information and
being totally prepared when your time comes, in addition to mapping your
journey so that you know where you will be going. It is not too late to prepare. Don't leave it to the last minute! </span> <br /></p>Carla Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15098141238831164780noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569678067512522549.post-9707442905958378132023-08-09T14:06:00.002-07:002023-08-09T14:07:42.685-07:00Wildflowers<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtL8Yp63SApBPuXZhiD7_XA_HqiTmfKE1LNmgOQzpTHca5YEHCPyZSwNHxnR9xXhYc0PFORQtvuiCRFHcSL8iYUZy7UMtmjQAccXF-HzXHgC6yDZnV_A9SIqc7Rv_tO0NDQ47MDlyYWuQ9pZh0UUP_Gp8CsucKEKroTEXQMnHCZTu8awjY5l1bVMWgZbM/s5184/P1060192.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5184" data-original-width="3888" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtL8Yp63SApBPuXZhiD7_XA_HqiTmfKE1LNmgOQzpTHca5YEHCPyZSwNHxnR9xXhYc0PFORQtvuiCRFHcSL8iYUZy7UMtmjQAccXF-HzXHgC6yDZnV_A9SIqc7Rv_tO0NDQ47MDlyYWuQ9pZh0UUP_Gp8CsucKEKroTEXQMnHCZTu8awjY5l1bVMWgZbM/s320/P1060192.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Finally, here is the last post on my recent Yellowstone National Park trip. The topic is wildflowers, one of my passions. Fortunately, that area had a very wet and lingering spring, so the wildflowers were blooming several weeks late, too. Perfect for this trip. The first 2 photos are of wild orchids. Enjoy the rest!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhedBTgW-3wepokJmp3AGsRWjqeIq1OpHxXgiDLVmxIFXkhV_hV1CJ1O6g_8a_pH5a4Uz_-5ZWwUr4cnBNd7x6_16Unz_al8e5sApyn0rpKwKOZUQhg-H3zt4Z8SL6ewK20ehGWbnv8Cu0X98b-m9VJuViebuF19oWu2BuU4aqCSp2aDTo0Z3pN7UTLGUQ/s3712/P1050076.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-variant: normal;">Yellowstone is home to a whole host of
incredible animals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finding them and photographing them is a big reason
as to why people visit there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On our trip, we
saw deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bear, coyote, and the ever present
bison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This bison herd is the
largest one on public land, and they can go wherever they want to within the
park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, a tourist got gored
by a bison near the Old Faithful Inn just a week before our group got
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are warned about getting
close to the bison, but some people just can’t resist!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn’t however get to see moose, grizzly
bears, or wolves, which also live in the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The bison below were along the Yellowstone River.
