Transforming Bad News Into Good
It is a paradox that bad news is best dealt with by avoiding
it. If you turn off the television news, you ignore the
bad news that does little more than induce fear in people.
Actually, it's getting harder for news stations to find bad
news. Crime reports are getting scarcer because crime keeps
declining.
For the last thirty years, and especially during the last ten
years, crime statistics have been falling steadily. The U.S.
Bureau of Justice statistics show that, for the thirty-year
period, 1975-2005, the rate of violent crime has dropped a full
50%, while the rate of property theft has plummeted by a
whopping 72%!
The underlying reason is that a new wave of consciousness is
being born into this world as the Old Reality steadily fades
away. Humanity has one foot in the New Reality and it keeps
pushing the envelope to explore the expanded vistas of
heart-centered consciousness.
People in Old Reality consciousness are used to holding their
energy close in to themselves as a defense against possible
attack, so they sometimes view an open and loving heart as a
sign of weakness. What they don't understand is that
heart-centered consciousness sees a wider vista of
consciousness and that its natural emanation of healing love
energy precludes the likelihood of most forms of attack.
When you turn off bad news, you avoid wallowing in its
negativity and thus lowering your frequency of consciousness.
Instead, you have the option to support the world with higher
consciousness. What you think and feel flows from you directly
into the Global Mind atmosphere which surrounds this planet. A
more enlightened sense of personal responsibility leads you to
help to heal, rather than pollute, the mental atmosphere which
we all share.
But what if the bad news lands on your own personal doorstep
and can't be shut out?
If it's personal to you, or to someone close to you, then the
same principle applies, but you need to apply a specific effort
to it. New Thought author Emmett Fox (1886-1951) developed a
technique called The Golden Key. He counseled people to stop
thinking about the difficulty at hand and to think about God
instead. By focusing on the spiritual, the person's attention
reaches a higher level of consciousness where the best solution
can be perceived.
When a person practices Golden Keying, the problem is soon
resolved. What happens is that your inner being is able to
resolve the problem once you move into a state of spiritual
awareness. You are then in a conscious position to perceive the
wisdom of your inner being as it determines the optimal path,
or what I call The Elegant Solution. The situation may simply
be healed by the presence of the spiritual energy which can
flow through the person when they are attuned within.
At the level of your inner being you have access to enormous
vistas of awareness, clear intuitive insight into the essence
of every situation, and the vision to see how each possible
solution would actually unfold if chosen. It is only in our
outer consciousness that we run around in the outer world,
stressed and worried, pretending that we don't know the answers
to problems!
The answers, the energy, and the healing are all available
within. It just takes intent plus quiet time to gain access to
the abundant resources of your inner being.

The Power of Imagination
by Owen Waters
In the dream state, you create any reality that you desire. In
a dream, you can be with anyone you imagine and in any
surroundings that you choose. In a dream, you might be walking
through the local scenery, then suddenly switch to driving in a
car and, finally, be flying through the air to get somewhere
more quickly. The background scenery can change from one scene
to another in a split-second.
When you awake, you may dismiss the dream as an imaginary,
fast-changing jumble of pure fantasy. After all, when you come
back into the cold, solid light of the physical world, the
dream world seems so unreal. But is it? Are all dreams just
your imagination running wild, or are those scenic backdrops
really created around you within the very fabric of the dream
world?
What about those times when you awake from a dream that seemed
so real, you find it hard to believe that it wasn't real. And
yet, you've been taught to believe that dreams are never real,
so then you struggle between that in-built belief and the fact
that you've just had a very real dream experience.
For example, in a dream, was that really your favorite
granddad visiting you, or did you just make it all up? And why
did he look so much younger than when he was alive?
Now, here is the surprising secret. Dreams are real. Very
real. When you are dreaming, you are out of your physical body
and functioning in your spirit body in the spirit world.
The fabric of the dream world, or spirit world, is called
etheric energy. Mystics call it the 'astral light' but,
technically speaking, its correct name is ethero-magnetic
energy. The substances of the physical world, on the other
hand, are composed of electro-magnetic energy. Your spirit body
is composed of etheric energy and so is the world that
surrounds you when you are in the spirit, or astral, world.
Etheric energy responds instantly to your thought commands. If
you want to change your appearance - shape shift - then just
think it, and it will be so. If you want to change your
surroundings, just imagine a new set of surroundings and they
will appear. At least, to your perception, they will, and to
anyone in your close proximity.
Those surroundings are created for you temporarily, as a
backdrop, by the power of your imagination. The real
surroundings of that location are independent of your
imaginative creations, which survive only for as long as you
pay attention to them. In the spirit world, these mental
creations are called thought forms. The more powerful your
ability to mentally focus, the larger and more vivid you can
make your thought forms. Within the spirit world, they are
solid to the touch, as are the bodies of other spirits.
This demonstrates that, in the spirit world, your imagination
is very real as it creates new realities instantly. In the
physical world, your imagination creates realities over time.
In fact, new realities manifest only after you have applied the
necessary physical action in order to organize them in the
physical world.
Physical realities don't just manifest out of thin air like
they do in the spirit world. You have to intend them, energize
them with your feelings, and then walk them through the steps
that will enable them to become physically manifest using
existing materials.
The common key between the dream world and the physical world
is that imagination creates realities. In the spirit world,
they manifest instantly and in accordance with the degree of
your mental focus. In the physical world they manifest slowly,
also in proportion to the effort that you invest in making them
happen.
Never let it be said that, "It's only your imagination." In
the saga of life, your imagination is everything. It is your
creative faculty. It has, quite simply, the power and the
potential to change the world.

| | | | | | | | | Spiritual Metaphysics Defined
by Owen Waters
While physics is the study of physical reality, metaphysics
includes that which is beyond the physical, but not necessarily
that which is spiritual. Spiritual metaphysics takes an
entirely different orientation. Spiritual metaphysics sees an
ultimate, metaphysical source of all creation as the basis of
reality.
This one spiritual source is known by various terms, including
The Absolute, Infinite Being, or the All That Is. The term
Infinite Being encapsulates the idea of infinite consciousness,
beyond which nothing else can exist.
Everybody's Doing It!
A spiritual revolution in human consciousness began in earnest
in the 1960s. Prior to that, the psychologist Maslow estimated
that only 2% of the population had achieved the spiritually
aware stage of self-actualization. The mid-1960s changed
everything and the spiritual revolution began. Masses of people
began the search for the higher values, such as unconditional
love and spiritual wisdom. While the outward fads of the
sixties came and went, the flame of spiritual yearning never
went out. It quietly grew as people searched, reflected and
found their spiritual freedom.
Thirty years later, that core group of progressive society had
blossomed from 2% to over 20%, and it keeps expanding more each
year. Most of these progressive thinkers are conscious
spiritual seekers, with a sense of self that is a real, inner
being rather than an outwardly-focused, ego type of self. The
global shift towards spiritual awareness is, to put it simply,
the most wonderful transformation in recorded history. This is
where humanity eventually gets to build, literally, Heaven on
Earth.
Why the Creator Is Larger Than the Universe
If nothing exists beyond the consciousness of Infinite Being,
then the universe was formed within, not outside of, its
consciousness. The spiritual source of all life, Infinite
Being, is therefore greater than the universe which it created
within itself.
The spiritual concept of God employs terms like omnipresent,
omnipotent and omniscient to express the idea of infinite
consciousness. From this expansive point of view, God the
Original Creator is greater than all manifestation and, yet, is
aware of every part of that manifestation.
The Conscious Universe
While physics ponders how to cater for the 'mysterious'
effects of consciousness in experiments, spiritual metaphysics
sees beyond the mystery. Because all things are made of
consciousness, then all things are conscious. All things are
aware in their own way.
When you see the universe from this spiritual perspective, it
is no longer a mystery why a pair of related atomic particles
consciously communicate with each other. Two atomic particles
can communicate with each other because they have their own
consciousness. They may not have the self-awareness of human
beings, but, when they meet, they remember each other and stay
in communication. If one collides with an obstacle, then the
other one feels it and responds accordingly.
Research in spiritual metaphysics does not take place in the
laboratory. Instead, it's an inside job; the primary research
tool of spiritual metaphysics is the accessing of expanded
states of awareness through meditation. For example, in deep
meditation, you can expand your awareness to the limits of
space and observe the shape of the universe.
The Universe is a Giant Doughnut
Physicists agree that the universe may be torroidal-shaped,
but they have no physical proof as yet. Moving beyond physics
and into spiritual metaphysics, which is where all the fun
stuff happens, you discover that this doughnut-shaped universe
is really nothing more than a projection within the
consciousness of its Creator. Space no longer exists beyond the
outer envelope of the universe, only the consciousness that
created that space.
Space is a Fabrication of Consciousness
Space is no more than a concept in consciousness. It isn't
really "out there." Everything made from consciousness is "in
here," within you. Space is a projection within consciousness,
manufactured for a specific effect. What appears to be "over
there" is really just another one of an infinite number of
viewpoints within the great "Here and Now."
The universe was created as a living theater of expression and
humanity opted for total immersion within the drama of this
theater of life. We live in search of the truth about life, and
yet we feel disconnected from its source. We focus upon a world
that appears to be exterior to us. Our five senses keep our
brains so busy that it takes determination to find the peace
and wisdom which lies within. Enormous resources of
information, guidance and support are available through our
inner being. When we direct our attention within, we gain
access to those resources.
The Mirror on the Stage of Life
Spiritual metaphysics sees the universe as a mirror. Who you
are, and what you express in thought, feeling and action,
causes the mirror of life to reflect that back to you.
If, for example, you like yourself, then other people will
like you, often without even knowing why. So, if you want
people to like you more, you need only discover and dissolve
the inner blocks that are keeping you from an unconditional
love and acceptance of yourself. When you love yourself more,
in an unconditional manner, life will reflect your improved
attitude towards yourself and other people will love you more.
The mirror of life is automatic. Once you change yourself, and
not before, the reflection changes and your reality transforms
to reflect the new you.
Unity With the Oneness Within
Your true, inner being is found in silence. Your inner being
is who you are. It is your soul. Your inner being is your
personal link to the universe and to its source, Infinite
Being. It is in this silence that you come to realize that
everything in the universe is one, that separation is actually
an illusion. In the light of this inner, soul connection, you
also find your sense of unconditional love for all of life and
all of humanity.

| |  The Secret of Having a Grateful Heart
Giving thanks is the expression of gratitude, and gratitude is
one of the most beautiful secrets in spiritual life.
Gratitude is a form of love, and love is something which flows
from the Creator of the universe through all forms of life and
manifestation. Without love, life in the universe cannot exist.
Love is the universal force of preservation which holds
creation in manifestation.
The Natural Flow of Love
Love is as natural as the universe. By design, there is a
tension between the forces of creation and universal love. It
is this tension which controls the size of the universe,
holding it within its envelope. It is this tension which
regulates the size of an electron's orbit around a nucleus.
Love is the force which retains electrons in their orbits,
making atoms possible and the existence of life as we know it.
You can block love, or you can allow it to flow naturally
through you. Falling in love with another person is an
allowance of the flow of love through your heart. In a world
where everything has the appearance of separateness, it is a
surrender to the underlying unity of all life. It is a place of
apparent vulnerability, a willingness to take the risk that
separation will once again return if that love is later lost.
When you allow your heart to open to the universe's flow of
love, gratitude comes with that flow. Gratitude for being
alive, for just existing, for just being in the flow of the
adventure of life. Gratitude for the Sun that gives us life.
Gratitude for the Earth that gives us our home in the cosmos.
Gratitude for the people that you love, and for those who share
your journey through life.
Gratitude flows unimpeded from an open heart. When you allow
it, it flows as freely as the sunshine, unobstructed by
judgments or conditions.
Quality of Life
One of the most endearing things a person can say to a loved
one is this:
"I'm grateful for having you in my life, and I appreciate you
for who you are."
If you haven't already tried this, try it sometime. It adds
new meaning to the words, "quality of life."

Seven Facets of
Spiritual Awareness by Owen Waters Life can be a treadmill of mundane details or it can be an inspiring adventure of uplifting experiences. Through the regular, daily practice of meditation, you can start each day by raising your frequency of consciousness above the mundane, work-a-day level into the spiritual realms of consciousness. Here are seven facets of spiritual awareness which unfold as a result of daily meditation. Any technique will work. The Infinite Being meditation technique is particularly effective. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number One �?Flow A sense of flow attracts synchronicity into your life’s events. This almost magical sense enables you to always be in the appropriate place at the appropriate time in order to gain the most out of the experiences that the complete you, your inner self, planned for this life. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Two - Unconditional Love You develop a sense of unconditional love for the inner, spiritual essence of all the people that you connect with in your life. Even the difficult people, as they are often holding up a mirror for you to understand an aspect of past habits which, deep down, you would like to examine at this time. Your sense of unconditional love naturally includes full acceptance of yourself, just as you are, with the personality that you adopted for this lifetime of experience. You can catch those old thought patterns of self-criticism and remember that you live in a universe which is naturally full of love and unconditional acceptance. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Three �?Abundance Accept abundance as the natural flow of the universe. Forget those opinions about there being something wrong with money. It’s a form of energy and the universe is filled with energy. Life gets a lot more convenient when you are abundant. It gets really inconvenient when you are not. When you follow your innermost joy, you find yourself doing work that you love and find absorbing. When you find your work absorbing, you become very good at it, without feeling that it took a lot of effort to become that highly skilled. When you are good at your work, employers and customers alike hear about you by word-of-mouth recommendation and they seek you out. The more in-demand your services become, the more they are worth. Following your inner joy is the secret to finding and developing an occupation which brings natural abundance. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Four - Intuitive Insight Both men and women find that, with regular spiritual practices, their sense of intuition develops smoothly and naturally. Soon, your insights grow to become very valuable in dealing with the challenges of life. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Five - Creativity A growing sense of creativity becomes apparent when spiritual practices become your daily routine. You discover new ways to achieve results because you see situations from a broader perspective. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Six - Wisdom Advances in spiritual wisdom and understanding come with deep meditation. In meditation, it is important to let distracting, surface thoughts dissipate so that deeper realizations may surface at the time that they are needed. Spiritual Awareness Facet Number Seven -
Raising World Consciousness When you detach from worldly concerns and express a higher frequency of consciousness, the conflicts of the lower frequencies of consciousness become automatically healed. When you let go of any form of conflict within yourself, you are able to rise to a higher frequency of consciousness in a state of harmony and balance. Higher frequencies of consciousness hold a higher power. Not just a slightly higher power. The power ratio of spiritual consciousness to conflict-oriented consciousness is many thousands to one. If you allow balance to enter your life through a spiritual state of consciousness, it will manifest immediately and very powerfully in your daily life. You will also be helping to raise the global consciousness in a very powerful and constructive manner. | | | |

Help for New Year's Resolutions
by Owen Waters
"Nature abhors a vacuum."
That's what my nephew said when his mother asked why he hadn't
cleaned his room!
The same rule, however, can also be applied to helping your
New Year's resolutions to successfully unfold. If you clear out
the old, you'll make room for the new.
When you have old, unfinished issues or projects, they'll
always get in the way of the new projects that need to be done
next. So, create a vacuum by bringing closure to old,
unfinished business.
Simplify your surroundings. Downsize any clutter, no matter
how long it takes. Once the clutter is gone, it's gone for
good. The same goes for personal relationships. If another
person is holding you back by often engaging your time in a
negative way, maybe now is the time to change the way you let
them deal with you and use your time.
You do need to treat yourself with the love and support that
you deserve. And, as a part of the all-pervasive Infinite
Being, you automatically deserve the very best of everything.
Within you is everything that Infinite Being is. How could you
deserve anything less than the best? So, plan for the best and
make room for it to happen.
New Year is a wonderful time to simplify your life so that
new, exciting and rewarding activities can fill the vacuum.
This is the New Reality. It's a higher vibration than the old
one. The pace of life is accelerating and it won't be slowing
down. Gain insights through meditation into how you can
simplify your life, bring closure to old issues and be better
able to handle the new pace of life.
Happy New Year!

The Many Benefits of Meditation
by Owen Waters
The hustle and bustle of today's fast-paced world almost makes
you want to cry out, "Where can I find some peace and quiet?"
Meditation has become a very popular answer to the need for
balance in today's fast-moving society. Meditation was
designed primarily for spiritual development, rather than
mental or physical benefits. However, by nourishing the
spiritual self, its benefits are then reflected throughout the
human mind and body.
Spiritual benefits:
Human beings function on spiritual, mental, emotional and
physical levels, with each level impressing the next. Your
soul impresses your mind and helps you to choose your beliefs
about reality. These beliefs then channel your thoughts into
patterns which fit into that view of reality. Your thoughts
feed into your emotions, and your emotions affect the
well-being of your physical form.
It makes sense, therefore, to see that the root of the human
tree, your spiritual self, is given the best possible
nourishment.
Through meditation you contact the most real part of you.
This part is the spiritual source which existed before your
physical body was formed. Through contact with that reality,
the essence of your soul, you become more identified with
that inner you. Your inner self is who you really are. Then,
you begin to realize more of your potential because you are
able to identify what that potential is.
Your soul is the fountain of wisdom within you. It has access
to all information in the universe because it is consciously
connected to the entire universe. Your soul is your personal
connection to Infinite Being.
Through contacting your inner self, you become more aware of
your greatest inner joy. When you follow that innermost joy,
you consciously resonate with your soul and manifest your
true potential in life. This inner resonance enhances your
intuition, making you more capable of choosing the best
options in life. This increases the synchronicity in your
life as you have then achieved a natural flow which is more
in harmony with the universe around you.
Mental benefits:
Living in the now is a spiritual practice and a habit which
requires mental attention. By focusing on the now, you bring
inner issues under control. Your belief system says that you
cannot change the past, and that you can only change the
future by acting in the present. It is therefore the "now"
which holds the key to effective action. When past-related
regrets or future-related worries are brought into the now,
they can be experienced, examined for what they are, and then
acted upon.
Meditation is well-known for producing increased mental
clarity. Greater concentration and creativity are produced,
as well as greater memory. The expression of creativity is one
of the great natural joys in life, one which appears more and
more as you follow your true path through life.
Emotional benefits:
The more you contact your inner self, the more you understand
who you really are. This brings forth a balanced sense of
self-esteem, one which relies upon your true self rather than
the judgments of others.
Inner strength is awakened. This is a calm and self-assured
strength, one which helps you face stress and anxiety with
renewed energy and poise.
With stress under control, your capacity for happiness is
naturally expanded.
Physical benefits:
Meditation provides a deep form of rest that works wonders for
the human nervous system. This increases the human capacity
for managing stressful situations and provides a sense of
increased energy for handling all aspects of daily living.
Meditation brings the body, mind, emotions and spirit into
harmony. Disease is a word meaning "dis-ease," literally a
form of discord which reflects from the emotions onto the
physical body. Extensive research projects have produced valid
claims for meditation helping control many ailments, including
hypertension, anxiety and panic attacks.
With as many benefits as these, it is little wonder that
meditation has become such a popular tool in helping people
cope with today's fast-paced world.
The Infinite Being Meditation technique is designed for the
ultimate in spiritual results, yet it reflects its benefits
throughout your entire system, nourishing your mental,
emotional and physical bodies.
Make meditation your daily haven of spirituality in today's
noisy world. In no time at all, your morning meditation
session will become the highlight of your day.

| | |  Unconditional Love
by Owen Waters
The purpose of being human, as we shift into the New Reality,
is to learn about heart-centered consciousness.
The universe is, by its very design, filled with the love of
the Original Creator. Universal love is the aspect of Original
Consciousness which holds Creation together. In the Original
Creation, Infinite Being divided its consciousness into two
complementary aspects - thought and feeling - and then set them
into motion.
The love of the Original Creator forms the very fabric of
space. No material thing and no part of "empty" space is devoid
of that love. Universal love is literally everywhere. However,
the human condition is only affected by this love when it is
channeled into the human realm through its use by humans.
We are here on Earth to learn how to translate universal love
into human form.
Once universal love has been transformed through the
consciousness of any individual human being, it enters the
global mind atmosphere of Earth. We all share constant access
to this global mind. While we initiate thoughts and feelings on
our own, we also receive thoughts and feelings from the global
mind. We sometimes alter these by our own thought, sometimes
not, and then pass them back into the global mind. In an
unconscious way, but not consciously, people are fully
telepathic as they receive and transmit thoughts and feelings
from and to the global mind atmosphere.
When a person experiences heart-centered consciousness, they
radiate a type of consciousness which is very different to
basic emotion. Heart-centered consciousness is a state of
unconditional love. It is not a product of emotional like or
dislike. Once started, nothing in physical reality affects the
flow of unconditional love. It is something that just is,
regardless of the circumstances.
Unconditional love is something that flows through your heart
when you reach up above day-to-day consciousness, then open
your heart and just allow it. This heart-centered consciousness
always sees the elegant solution to the sorrows that can arise
from basic human emotions.
Unconditional love allows, accepts and supports. It is not
something you try to do. It just flows when you allow it to
enter your heart and take your consciousness above the cares of
daily reality and into an expanded vista of awareness.
Each time you radiate unconditional love into the global mind
atmosphere, you upgrade the entire human experience, taking
humanity yet one more step into the unfolding New Reality.

A Brighter Tomorrow by Owen Waters Heart-powered consciousness is humanity’s destination in The Shift to the New Reality. As people continue to have experiences of heart-centered consciousness, their everyday state of consciousness shifts more and more into the heart-centered zone. As detailed in my book, The Shift, there is a yin and a yang to heart-centered consciousness. Heart-felt consciousness is the yin or exploratory stage, and can be observed as the phase of heart consciousness expressed, for example, by ecological enthusiasts or “greenies.�?It is the pinnacle of the first tier of human evolution. The next step opens the way to a spiritual transformation because the heart is a bridge between the first and spiritual tiers of human consciousness. When a person takes that one step further, into the yang or action-oriented phase of heart-centered consciousness, they experience heart-powered consciousness and gain awareness of the spiritual tier of human evolution. Heart-powered consciousness is where spiritual awakening occurs, changing the person’s viewpoint of reality permanently. Once a person sees and experiences this expanded vista of consciousness, it enhances their abilities for life. After you have experienced such a spiritual awakening, you soon realize that unconditional love was always the only answer to all of life’s challenges. You gain an active sense of intuition so that your purpose in life begins to flow naturally through your inspiration and your actions. Synchronicity keeps appearing in your life as you find yourself in the right places at the right times, and the term “quality of life�?takes on a deep and profound meaning. How to Enhance Your Spiritual Awakening The ancient Mayan calendars show that many different cosmic cycles converge and renew on December 21st, 2012. Many prophecies have indicated a period of chaos and confusion in the transition years leading up to this confluence of cycles in 2012. This is understandable as the old cycles are ending and many agendas of the Old Reality are rushing towards resolution and completion. Old issues, suppressed for years, are now bubbling up to the surface, demanding attention and resolution. Today’s level of stress is likely to increase even more as 2012 approaches. The best way to handle such stress is to be centered and to resist the temptation to be drawn into dramas and conflicts. Most of such dramas are due to other people working through their “stuff,�?and you always have the option to choose not to be drawn into them. Being in the now and focusing on what is �?not what could be, or shouldn’t be, or what might be fear-inducing �?provides the key to balance in a world full of increasing stress. Daily meditation enhances your ability to become centered and free of stress. Regular, daily meditation deeply enhances your spiritual awakening. Any meditation technique will do this, although our Ultimate Meditation article provides a particularly effective technique. A Brighter Tomorrow Imagine what will happen when enough people reach heart-centered consciousness and start finding New Reality solutions to Old Reality problems. Imagine what will happen when enough people open their hearts to a caring sense of responsibility towards other people and towards the planet. Imagine how things will change when more and more people just say “enough�?to the tired ways of the Old Reality. The Spiritual Renaissance which has become apparent in the West will sweep across the globe in ways that match the diversity of the different cultures on Earth. In the New Reality, the search for a higher quality of life will replace the old search for a better standard of living. Imagine what will happen when enough people are no longer willing to allow the rising toxicity in the air that they breathe, in the water that they drink, and in the food that they eat. Imagine when more and more corporations no longer support the blind pursuit of profit and, instead, support the new standard of “Profit with principles.�? When enough people reach heart-centered consciousness, we will see the day when public servants serve the public before they serve themselves. Alternative healthcare will flourish and become mainstream, bringing health and wholeness instead of toxic medications which only mask the symptoms of ill health. In a heart-centered world, people will no longer feel alone in a crowd and communities will be built with an eye for beauty as well as utility. People will find the work which brings them the most joy. They will prosper, because that is what happens to people who love their work. It is an easy prediction to say that a better world lies ahead, because happiness is a product of heart-powered consciousness, and heart-powered consciousness is the exact destination of The Shift.

| | |  The Future of the Human Race
by Owen Waters
In the ground-breaking book, "Spiral Dynamics" by Don Beck and
Christopher Cowan, 'memes' are defined as the social equivalent
of genes. Memes are cultural units of information which
self-replicate from mind to mind on a vast scale, appearing
within society as new trends of thought.
The progression of memes reflects the development of society
from its primitive beginnings up to the present. So far, eight
different memes have been identified and analyzed. As detailed
in my book, "The Shift: The Revolution in Human Consciousness,"
their characteristics are:
1. Basic, personal survival.
2. Clan survival.
3. Courage, survival of the fittest.
4. Finding order and purpose in life.
5. Achievement, striving to succeed.
6. Community and caring.
Then, a momentous leap into the second, spiritual tier of six
memes began with leading-edge thinkers in the 1950s, then
mushroomed into popularity in the mid-1960s. Since then, enough
people have made the shift into the second tier to enable two
of its memes to be identified and analyzed:
7. Responsible freedom.
8. Holistic, global village view.
As of the 1990s, the authors of Spiral Dynamics have also
identified the existence of the next meme in the progression.
This ninth meme has not yet been observed in large quantities
of people, so they have been unable to summarize its
characteristics at this point.
Using basic metaphysical principles, however, you can predict
exactly what it will become. Also, second tier memes are
reminiscent of their first tier cousins. Meme number nine,
being the third meme within the second tier of six, will become
an enlightened version of the original meme number three, which
is courage.
The first tier of six memes is materially-oriented while the
second tier is spiritually-oriented. The second tier, being of
a higher frequency band of consciousness than the first tier,
exerts far more influence in the world when it is activated. As
popular use of the second tier of memes only began in the
mid-1960s, we have yet to see much of its power manifest in the
world.
The second tier of memes, this higher frequency band of
consciousness, is the engine of The Shift, the spiritual
revolution in human consciousness.
Meme number seven (responsible freedom) is similar to meme
number one (basic, personal survival), only transformed into
the second tier of six memes. Meme seven means having a
viewpoint from a much wider vista of consciousness than meme
one. It deals with flexible flow and adaptation to a world full
of change. It is like learning to survive all over again, but
this time through a global viewpoint. Meme number seven is the
starting point, and the orientation course, for the entire
second tier of memes.
Meme number eight (holistic, global village view) is the
second tier version of meme number two (clan survival). With a
viewpoint that is holistic as well as global, it is reminiscent
of meme number two. In meme number eight, the vision is to
create a global village, or a unified clan of humanity. Unlike
the small-clan focus of meme number two, meme number eight
thinkers can see that the key to unity is to embrace the
unlimited diversity of humanity as a whole. Integration and
peace can then be created through the existence of our common
humanity, when people accept everyone else as they are, simply
because they exist.
This equates to the fundamental, Creator-given right of each
human being for self-determination simply because they exist.
People were created to experience self-determination. Humanity
was also created to have an infinite variety of personalities
for the purpose of gaining an infinite variety of experience.
At this higher level of consciousness, it becomes obvious that
any attempt to coerce people into conformity with the standards
of another person, or another group of people, is actually a
violation against the will of the Creator.
Acceptance of diversity, paradoxically, is the key to unity in
human experience.
The Nature of the New Social Meme:
The new meme number nine will be like meme number three
(courage, survival of the fittest), only in a higher form of
manifestation. Meme number three's courage lead to adventure,
exploration and mastery of the physical environment. As the
second tier memes all have a spiritual orientation, this means
that the new meme number nine will bring about adventure,
exploration and mastery of the holistic environment of mind,
body and spirit. It will do this while encompassing a global
scale of awareness.
The new, ninth meme will bring exploration of the
spiritually-inspired use of the power of the mind to transform
reality for the better. It will create strong demand for
spiritual and creative freedom on a global basis.
This far-ranging, inspiring meme has the power, quite simply,
to transform the entire world as we know it.
The keywords of the ninth meme will be 'Powerful creativity.'
Powerful Creativity:
How powerful will it become? How much will this meme transform
the world as it gains in popularity?
When a spiritually-oriented person uses their creativity, they
use the same formula that Infinite Being originally used to
create the entire universe. That's how powerful spiritual
creativity is. In its fundamental form, it consists of three
essential components:
(1) Intent is used to define the goal, or the desired outcome.
When defining a goal, it is better to leave the specifics
undefined and deal in generalities. This allows the universe to
find the easiest pathway through which to manifest the desired
goal. Even better than specific objects are general principles.
For example, the general principle of natural prosperity can
find thousands of ways to materialize, whereas a goal involving
one specific objective along the path to prosperity limits the
options considerably.
(2) Feeling is added to give the goal the life energy with
which to grow from an idea into a pre-physical reality that
becomes ready to manifest in the physical world. Ideally, an
equal balance between the amount of intent and feeling makes
for the most powerful act of creativity. For the sake of
clarity, feeling is defined as a separate component from
intent. In practice, however, the act of creativity expresses
intent and feeling intertwined together as one creative act.
This is in keeping with the way nature functions. Light, for
example, is a form of electromagnetic radiation - electric and
magnetic energies intertwined in perfect balance and set into
motion.
(3) Action. As the energy of your environment reorganizes
itself around your empowered intent, you need to provide the
third and final component, action. However, before the action,
there first has to be a pause lasting several days. This is a
hands-off period where you allow the growth of the project to
occur at its own pace within the pre-physical ethers of space.
Then, after several days have passed and the objective is ready
to manifest, it will cause synchronistic flow to appear in your
life. 'Coincidences' will occur which cause events around you
to move towards the fulfillment of your desired goal. When this
flow of supportive coincidences begins to occur, your job is to
provide the action which each synchronistic event calls for,
until the goal has become fully manifested.
If, for example, a desired career opening occurs, then you
would follow that opportunity to see if this is the main event,
or if it is just something that you will learn from along the
journey towards your goal.
If a key contact occurs which can help your project, then you
follow through on that contact to see where it will lead.
Whatever mini-opportunities arise along the path to the
realization of your goal, you provide the physical action to
materialize those opportunities out of the realm of
possibilities and bring them into the physical realm. Most
often, goals materialize through a daisy chain of events and
opportunities, each of which builds up to the final realization
of the entire, original goal.
People today are finding their way through the spiritual
awakenings that come with second-tier memes number seven and
eight. As they activate number nine, the meme of powerful
creativity, they discover a power which, unleashed, can
transform not only their own lives but the world around them
for the better.
The New Reality is yours to explore. It already exists as a
frequency of consciousness. In a world where thoughtlessness
and heartlessness are common, people of the New Reality bring
thoughtfulness and heartfulness. Where there is strife, people
of the New Reality bring peace. Where there is pain, people of
the New Reality bring love and healing.
This is the New Reality, the spiritual revolution in human
consciousness.

of the Creator of the Universe by Owen Waters 
Science is in general agreement about the existence of a Big Bang, from which the universe is said to have literally exploded into life. The problem science faces with this theory is the difficulty that such a Big Bang would face in being successful in creating life. In his book The Life of the Cosmos, physicist Lee Smolin details the many variables which had to be exactly balanced in order for the universe to unfold into living order, rather than random chaos. The mass of the proton, the strength of gravity, the range of the weak nuclear force, and dozens of other variables determine how a universe will unfold after a Big Bang. If any of these values had been just slightly different, the universe would have become a disorganized pool of hot plasma where galaxies and solar systems were unable to form. In order to make a universe that supports life, the numbers have to be exactly right. What are the mathematical chances of an accidental Big Bang producing a universe that produces life as we know it? 
Life as we know it
One chance in 10229 That’s one chance in 10 to the power 229. To spell it out, that’s exactly one chance in�?/FONT> 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

|  The Healing Power of Spiritual Light
by Owen Waters
The Buddha spent many years trying to understand evil and
suffering. He eventually concluded that the only real power in
the universe is the Creator and that all else is illusion and
therefore has little or no power in comparison.
He then went on to counsel people to adopt the middle way in
order to avoid being sucked into illusion and bringing
suffering upon themselves. He saw attachment to things of the
world as the source of suffering, so he advised people to be a part of the world, yet not attached to it.
His words ring as true today as they did 2,500 years ago; and yet, times have changed. Today's level of popular consciousness
is far beyond that of the relatively dark times of 2,500 years ago. Today, detachment is still excellent advice, but we can do so much more now to consciously transform the old ways of
darkness.
Physical darkness is the absence of physical light. The
darkness itself is not real. It is merely an absence of
something that is real. Likewise, spiritual darkness is the
absence of spiritual light. Spiritual darkness itself is not
real. It is merely an absence of something that is real.
Evil is an illusion because a shadow is not a real thing.
Light is the real thing. A shadow is an illusion caused by the
absence of light. The only reality, the only real power, is
light itself.
Darkness can only exist in hiding from the light. When light
shines in, it dissipates the darkness, making it obvious where
the real power lies. Evil has no power in itself. It is only a
lack of light. The real power is, and always has been, with the
light and not with the shadow.
If you sense darkness, add light.
If you sense pain, add the light of healing energy.
If you sense hatred, add the light of love.
If you sense despair, add the light of hope and trust in the
goodness of that from which we came and that to which we are
returning.
The Nature of Spiritual Light
Spiritual light, in its fundamental form, is the omnipresent
consciousness of the Creator. When intertwined with the
unconditional love of the Creator and set into motion, it
manifests as the universe.
Filters can block spiritual light. Such filters include fear,
hatred, judgment, conflict and despair. That which engenders
any of these is, therefore, promoting darkness. Darkness in
consciousness affects mind, body and spirit.
When spiritual light is channeled through the human mind, it
adds to the light of the world. Darkness can be healed
through the addition of spiritual light. While spiritual light is universally available in all
frequencies, it has to flow through human consciousness in
order to affect the human realm of consciousness. The
effectiveness of sending healing spiritual light into an area
that needs it is subject to the following two laws.
The Laws of Spiritual Light
1. The transformative ability of spiritual light is
proportional to the frequency of the consciousness used to
project it.
Explanation: Conditioning the intent with any agenda lowers
the frequency. Projecting pure spiritual light for the
unconditioned purpose of healing raises the frequency and the potential.
2. The amount of spiritual light projected is proportional to
the degree of openness of the chakra through which it flows.
Explanation: Your thoughts flow from you to the outside world through the appropriate chakra. Spiritual practices develop the chakras, increasing your capability as a channel for spiritual light.

| | | | Mysteries of the Universe
by Owen Waters
The metaphysics of today is the physics of tomorrow. By studying spiritual metaphysics, you get a head start in understanding the mysteries of the universe. For example, two hundred years ago, electricity was still a huge mystery. Back then, a few visionaries uncovered more and more information about the nature of electricity. Once it became possible to generate electricity, it powered the Industrial Revolution and then went on to produce the Electronics Era, which soon morphed into today's Information Revolution. This enormous chain reaction of technological evolution was made possible by the original curiosity of just a handful of visionary mystics. Now, imagine what the mystic insights of today's world could do for tomorrow's world. For example, the next energy to be understood is etheric energy. A more subtle cousin to electricity, etheric energy is the life force that streams towards us from the Sun, energizing and motivating all forms of life. The mastery of etheric energy will lead to far more wide-ranging advances than electricity ever did. Within etheric energy, lie the keys to powerful healing modalities, pollution-free energy, and many other valuable innovations. Just the advent of abundant, inexpensive energy will transform he world, eliminating poverty and much of today's third world suffering. Etheric energy is life energy. It is the energy that passes from spiritual healer to patient. It is the vitality or life force contained within air, water and food. It is the mystery energy which powers the endless orbit of electrons in their atoms and planets around their suns. Etheric energy has been known by many other names - prana, life energy, vital life force, chi or qi, orgone, universal life force, odic force, cold electricity, tachyon energy; the list goes on. Cosmologists - scientists who study the structure of the universe - are actually already on the trail of etheric energy. They have detected its presence in the cosmos through its gravitational side-effects, but they haven't been able to see it, so they call it 'dark energy.' The existence of dark energy - and its related dark matter - is one of the great, unanswered mysteries of science today. According to the observed movements of galaxies, it is calculated that 23% of the universe consists of dark matter and 73% of the universe consists of dark energy. The universe, it would seem, is filled with unseens. At least, to the limited capabilities of physical eyes. When a cosmologist stares at a clear, night sky, wondering where all the missing energy and matter is in the inky blackness of the depths of space, it would come as a surprise to them if they knew that a clairvoyant - a person who has developed the ability to see subtle energies - sees the same night sky very differently. It may sound unconventional, even rebellious to tradition, to suggest that a scientist should ask a clairvoyant what they perceive, but it has been done before, and with breakthrough results. For example, in the mid 1800s, one of the top scientists of all time did exactly this. Carl von Reichenbach had heard that clairvoyants can see a subtle energy of which science was unaware. The fact that he, like most people, lacked clairvoyant vision did not deter him. Such a minor complication was not to be an obstacle to his curiosity and his desire to understand this new form of energy. So, for his experiments, he hired a group of skilled clairvoyants to describe to him what they could see. He cataloged the appearance and behavior of etheric energy, which he called the 'odic force,' around substances such as magnets, crystals, wood and metals. Today, a cosmologist could, if they dared to be that adventurous, ask a skilled clairvoyant what they see in the clear, night sky. The clairvoyant would report that they see the etheric energies that surge through the universe. To their subtle perception, etheric energy does not appear in the least bit dark. In fact, it glows brightly with the light of its own life energy. To them, the night sky is filled with a brilliant interplay of pure and magical, etheric light. Etheric energy is one of the three fundamental types of energy in the universe. These three energies are electric, magnetic and etheric. Electric energy operates at a right angle to magnetic energy. The third energy of Creation, etheric energy, operates at yet another right angle to the other two. Physical matter is made from electromagnetism, which is the interplay of electric and magnetic energies. Etheric matter is quasi-physical, i.e. solid only to the subtle senses, and it is made from etheromagnetism, which is the interplay of etheric and magnetic energies. Etheric energy and etheric matter are the missing components in today's cosmology. Etheric energy is the mysterious 'dark energy' and etheric matter is the mysterious 'dark matter.' Knowing that it can be seen by the subtle senses certainly makes it a more immediate candidate for study and research. Just the fact that 'dark' or etheric energy reveals its presence through its gravitational effects implies that its understanding could lead to control over gravity, and the introduction of weightless, high-speed flying vehicles. The possibilities for research into this fledgling field are almost unlimited. For example, many of Nikola Tesla's experiments involved a strange new form of energy that he called 'cold electricity.' When his experiments are reviewed in the light that cold electricity is none other than etheric energy, then they begin to make a lot more sense. Etheric energy is the third energy of Creation. It is not a form of electricity. Etheric energy and electric energy share the common bond of interacting with magnetic energy. They bring to life the magnetic fabric of space when they intertwine with it to invoke physical electromagnetic energy and quasi-physical etheromagnetic energy. Spiritual metaphysics provides a head start in understanding the mysteries of the universe. The sooner today's scientists search within for understanding, the sooner the world will see them emerge as the modern-day visionaries of science. When a deeper understanding of etheric energy is achieved, society will reap many benefits, ranging from powerful healing machines and precise weather control to clean, unlimited energy and travel to the stars. *If you enjoyed today's article, forward it to a friend!
