Hi Tracey,
I dunno if I feel the energy. I never really am very sure. I do feel bloated but that's just cause I had too much lunch. On the 26th I dreamt that I was walking down an old broken road through the middle of a vast cemetary. It was a nice place, not scary, gently rolling hills, scattered pine trees overhead. While I was walking along I was wondering whether I could ever return in the future to walk through again listening to music from my portable CD player. That was a nice dream.

I hope your camping trip was fun. Did you feel anything unusual on the day out of time? I hope your workshop is good and you learn telepathy. If I learned telepathy first thing I'd do is drive down to Atlantic City and play some blackjack.
peace

Hi, Everybody

Well I haven't had any stand-out dreams lately but things have been moving along for me nicely personally. I've had a couple of deep insights regarding personal transformation. Some stuff came up a couple weekends ago and then again at the beginning of this week - at the turn of the new year wheel. I don't know if it's related but things are'a'changin' for me.

I recently just turned 30 also, which I've learned can be a challenging, turning point in our lives. I really am feeling like I'm starting to approach my 'real life', with confidence and excitement.

It has shown me how much pain from the past I have still been carrying around with me - and has been leaking out inadvertently. It is true we may re-enact our past hurts until we heal ourselves from them. But as I am gaining deeper and deeper insight over time, I am finding compassion for myself and my situation, and the desire to release and be renewed! Though it touched on some deep pain as if I've not healed any of it, it is healing me. To transcend, this stuff needs to come out and be respected or we will live trapped in it forever. And each time brings us closer to true freedom.

On the job front, I recently got news I'm being laid off from a corporate job by next spring. I've been there 7 years and it has provided for me and my family well. This is good news, however, as I have been searching for a more fulfilling career path. I've picked a direction to go (healing arts) and this news is encouraging me to run with it. I am, little by little, transforming my life to be a reflection of who I really am and envision myself to be, at my core.

So, at the moment, I am very excited about the coming year and opportunities. It is totally different and new to me, a little scary, but I know I am travelling in my heart's direction.

My Mayan tone this year is 10, Planetary, described as 'power to perfect manifestation', and 'act of producing'. So, if I'm correct, and this IS how I feel right now, this year I need to put effort and ACTION towards my dreams.

Plus, my day on the Mayan calculator, says Red Magnetic Dragon, which is very close to my Red Rhythmic Dragon, so I'm feeling very good! To clarify, I'm already feeling great and the reading just confirms a good day for me.

Everyone, please share.....

Bless you all!

Hi Tracey,

I hope you will have very creative time during your workshop! It sounds really interesting!
About the way how I feel...
I just went thru your post about Blue Storm and Cauac.
I need to admit I felt like it was describing my very own emotions.I do feel overwhelmed. My life is going to change a lot. At the beginning of September it will turn all upside down. I know what I will do until the end of the October.
Than who knows...Very often I´m doubting in
myself, I feel like I´ll be unable to keep moving on with my life. Like I have no enough o power for it.
I do have some positive moments as well. It´s been like a swing.
About dreams, it´s been a long time since I wasn´t able to remember my dreams .
But on the night from last Sunday to Monday (exactly when the
new Mayan year had started!) I had this strange dream. You can find it on the dream´s forum.
It was so detailed. Although there was no signs proving experiencing Blue Storm-this dream was full of symbols.
Well, have a look if you will have a free time.
Wish you all best!

Spirituality in the 21st Century
By Kurt Kawohl


In 1956, when I was fifteen years old, I had pneumonia and thought I was dying. My father took me to a doctor who gave me a penicillin injection and recommended immediate hospitalization. We had no medical insurance or money, so my father took me home to recuperate. I remember the drive home vividly. Every breath was painful and my chest felt as though a great weight was upon it.

I watched cars and trucks drive by, and wondered how people could make long term plans when life was so unpredictable.

Several nights later, it felt as if my spirit left my body, and it experienced being in a place with a gathering of souls or spirits. I sensed great peace, tranquility and ecstasy -- a rapture that was beyond imagination. I felt part of the "ultimate supreme spirit." I was mentally communicating and in sync with everyone, including not only some of my deceased acquaintances and relatives, but many of the prophets of the Bible, and historical people I had read about. There was no dominant force, no forceful leader. I somehow knew who everyone was. Every thought interacted with the whole community. I had no questions; it seemed as if everything was revealed and crystal clear. I saw the universe stretched out with spirits engaged in mental interaction, like master craftsmen contemplating the creation of a new frontier.

When I told my father, a Lutheran preacher, about my experience he dismissed it abruptly and said that this "supreme spirit" my spirit had witnessed, was not the God of the Bible, and he told me to pray for my salvation. We never talked about it again.

And I rarely thought about it afterwards until the 9/11 New York World Trade Center tragedy. I went into deep meditation. I wanted to find an answer to why and how some misguided individuals could believe that their actions would be rewarded by eternal life with God. I then had a couple of experiences similar to the one I had at age fifteen of my spirit communicating with the "ultimate spirit."

One spiritual experience seemed to last throughout the entire night. My spirit observed the entire history and the evolution of the universe and our varying perceptions of God, as if in a fast-forward film.

I realize the "messenger" is of no significance. It is the message that needs to be taken into account and judged for its merits. The experiences I encountered after the 9/11 tragedy helped me come to this conclusion: In this twenty-first century, we are still plagued by religious beliefs that are a contributing cause toward Terrorism and wars between nations. Belief in a deity, who keeps causing catastrophes, punishes people, and who created the universe out of nothingness as if by magic was brought about by hysteria and superstitions. This thought process needs to be reassessed and brought up to date. Open-minded people must use common sense to determine whether this so-called deity was incorrectly perceived, misinterpreted, and misunderstood by the masses of a bygone era.

Some will say that my personal experience of oneness with a supreme spirit is nothing but a dream or a vivid imagination. It doesn’t matter whether you accept or totally reject my story. What does matter is that we evolve to a point whereby we can encourage open-minded people to offer feedback on how our religious beliefs can be brought into the twenty-first century.
