What do you think about this take on the Aurora massacre? Colin makes a good point about filling one’s head with violence in the virtual world and then making the short leap into a violent real world.
I certainly do not share in the group madness for destructive video games. The good parents I know also do not allow their children to play these games. There are enough good, clean fun video games out there. Look at the popularity of Wii for an example of the latter.

inYou won’t see this in the news: Aurora, Colorado as another opportunity to wake up in Spirit.
Instead of immersing yourself in the 24/7 news updates on this topic, take some time to imagine what hell the perpetrator was going through that he would find a massacre to be his only saving grace. How twisted and painful must your own mind be – what hell are you living in – when you think that killing a bunch of people will satisfy the demons inside?
Send this man love instead of hate. He’s got enough of the latter already. See his eyes pleading for help, help he’s clearly not received to this point. See those eyes begging you for understanding and even just a little love. He is your brother, as we all are your brothers and sisters. Send his heart love and feel your own heart expand. That’s how you know it’s the right thing to do.
Offer love today instead of hate. In doing so, you’ll heal the world and raise its vibration. That’s our job today and every day. What happened in Aurora is just another reminder of that. Offer love instead of condemnation. He is your brother.

inOn the recommendation of a client at Portals last weekend, I bought Coelho’s latest best-seller, Aleph, for the plane ride up to New Hampshire. I was able to read most of it that afternoon and evening due to departure delays that lasted for hours and hours. (That subject will be covered in a subsequent post!)
Please join me on www.goodreads.com (username: Lynn11361) (Lynn Lewis) to share our taste in reading material. This is my review in Goodreads about Aleph:
Paulo is a very good author and I know his books touch and amaze many readers around the globe. His viewpoints are not always mine but I appreciate his deep and persistent commitment both to his journey and to sharing it with us. We are all so much better off for it and I honor his work in this life.
As a big fan of the concept of reincarnation, I enjoyed reading his take on how it works and how to use it to further your evolution. I really want to try his ring of light technique but will make sure to learn about it first!
I do recommend this – and every other Paolo book – to readers who are not afraid to explore the journey to enlightenment from different viewpoints.

I’ve been reading past lives for myself and others since 2004. How did I come to have this skill? Well, it comes from lots and lots of practice. I wasn’t born seeing scenes from other people’s past lifetimes or from my own. I’ve only had one spontaneous past life recall that I can remember. What I started off with was an intense desire to get LIFE right this lifetime. I wouldn’t have called it that until probably this year. But I know now that’s what it was.
In 2002 my husband and I were living in Hong Kong on a work assignment for him. I was not allowed to work in that foreign country and so I took the time to explore spiritual things that interested me. I also started going to an applied kinesiologist named Valeria Nutt to heal my back. One day on her table she was doing muscle response testing (MRT) and found a past life that was causing problems somewhere on my body. I was very surprised that a past life could be causing me pain in my body in this life. She went ahead and identified the lifetime and circumstances, and it was painfully obvious why the pain had followed me into this life. I mean it was just so obvious. After that, in later sessions, we would occasionally find a past life experience that, when healed, healed at least part of my physical issues. She trained me on how to access these past life experiences, what to ask, look for, and then how to heal the problems. I have since been using both MRT and past life therapy on myself to heal all sorts of issues – on every level (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). It’s such a powerful tool to have in my healer’s kit.
Past lives hold the keys to many of our present life challenges. Looking into past life issues and traumas can unlock healing on every level in this life, as long as we’re willing to do the forgiveness work that’s required.
You’ve all heard of the term karma. There’s good karma and bad karma. It’s a Hindu term that describes the Universe’s accounting system for who’s done what to each other and how in or out of balance we are in relation to each other. Just like the elephant, karma never forgets. If I killed my husband in a previous life, karma dictates that we’ll come back together in a future life so that I can make it up to him in some way. I can’t escape this accounting system and neither can he. We have to play this game, whether we believe in it or not. Karma does not respect our individual belief systems. God doesn’t respect our individual belief systems. Both of them are Truth. We can either align ourselves with Truth and play the game according to the rules, or we can ignore the rules and fight against Truth. I think we all know which one feels better and works better in the end!
The only way the Universe, karma, and God allow us to beat the game is for us to adhere to unconditional love. We must forgive everything that we have done, that others have seemingly done to us, and everything the Universe seems to do to us. We must realize that everything is working out for our highest and best potential. This is a lives-long journey. We are stubborn creatures – we are in thrall to our own Egos. We all think we know better than Love in every instant of every day. When we behave according to our Egos – when we hold resentments, judgments, beliefs in lack/attack, shame/blame – we suffer. We create bad karma. We participate in bad karma. We die and we come back again in another life to give ourselves yet another chance to get it right. To finally align with Truth, with Unconditional Love. When we do, we begin to erase that bad karma and start creating good karma for ourselves and others. The goal is to erase all our bad karma, built up over literally thousands of lifetimes on this Earth and elsewhere, and eradicate the need to incarnate ever again. We get to escape the hamster wheel of karma and suffering and GO HOME.
When you find a past life trauma – either something that you did to someone else or that they did to you – and you do your forgiveness work, that life is healed. Even more amazingly, you erase the karma associated with that life. Hence, you save yourself time and the need to create a situation in the future that will present you the opportunity to balance your karma with that person. You save time by healing past lives. You erase bad karma by healing past lives. You create a happier present and future for yourself by healing past lives.
That’s why I read past lives for myself and for others. It’s one of the greatest time-savers of all Time!

inToday’s idea is completely illogical.
In the Ego’s thought system, which is to say, the prevailing, “normal” way of thinking, the idea that we are all intimately connected – indeed Oneness itself – defies proof and rational explanation. To give credence to this idea, one must make a leap of faith first. The proof comes only after that, if ever. One must see the proof with one’s inner vision in order to make it real. I believe it’s one of the hardest things to wrap our minds around.
I remember the first time I got this concept. My husband and I were living in Hong Kong at the time and I was availing myself of every spiritual class, book, meeting, or modality that resonated with me. One day I got on the #260 bus from Stanley Market to Central and was mulling over the idea of our absolute oneness. It was eating at me because I just couldn’t figure out how that could be. At the Repulse Bay stop, I looked around at all the people on the bus. There were Hong Kong Chinese on their way to work, Filipino maids headed out to do some shopping, probably an Indian or two, and other white people speaking with all manner of accents. All at once, it hit me: underneath our skin colors, body types, languages and world outlooks, we were one all-encompassing energy of humanity. I visualized an energy mass that remained connected even as it formed individual personalities that we saw as people…and animals and maybe trees and maybe aliens on other planets. The picture I had in my mind rang so true for me that I knew it was Truth.
Lately, studying as I do A Course in Miracles, the concept of oneness keeps popping up in every lesson or reading of the text. In fact, it’s the basis of the Course. A new picture has presented itself to me, one that works because I’m such a child of the ’80s and the disco culture! You may remember that all the disco dance floors had disco lights and balls, balls which were composed of hundreds of mirrored facets. The lights would shine on those facets and they’d give off hundreds of rays of different colored-lights, reflecting the disco light source and refracting out into different wavelengths.
You probably see where I’m going with this… How about this concept of oneness and our relationship with God? God’s the big light – the Sun, if you will. Humanity (plus the animals, the aliens, whatever else) is the disco ball. Each of us is a mirrored facet of that ball. You can’t say that one facet isn’t an integral part of the ball because it is, just as every other facet is. The Sun shines on and through the ball, reflecting light out into the Universe and back to itself. Our light source is God/the Sun and that light becomes ours to reflect out to each other and into the Universe.
Isn’t that a cool concept? If you have one that works for you, please share it with the rest of us right here in the comments.

Gary Renard, author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality, speaks about the purpose of reincarnation. This is framed within the context of A Course in Miracles. However, you may find it resonates with you no matter what your spiritual beliefs are.

Caught on amateur video is this heart-warming visitation by a wild bird to the lead singer at a bluegrass music festival:
Meanwhile at the bluegrass music festival – A little bird comes in and joins the band.
The little bird stays until the end of the song. Meanwhile, the lead singer – clearly astounded at the unlikely behavior of a wild bird – looks like he knows he’s been graced with a loving energy wholly unexpected. Surely this was a message of love from Spirit to this man. And maybe to all of us who are blessed to partake.
