Epiphany Greetings of Peace,
“The Fog of Woo”
We live in strange times. It may seem a bit conspiratorial that the global economy is coughing and sputtering along in perfect lockstep with all the hopes and aspirations most folks had for a lovely holiday season and a prosperous New Year. India and China seem to be the most unfazed by the credit crunch and subprime mortgage debacle, but then, they don’t have Christmas to contend with as a broad cultural and economic phenomena, except that most of those toys and electronics were probably labeled “Made in China.” Ahhh, the irony.
There is such a heavy cloud of nervousness and paranoia out there that it is becoming hazardous to our hearts. So who is the Grinch, and where’s he going with all our goodies? Perhaps we’ll blame the bankers, or the politicians, or the global elite, for to all appearances it seems that they ARE getting away with it. How dare they mess with Christmas and New Year’s! Nope, it is more like “how dare they mess with our illusions.” Of course, they are the illusion-makers, for we have put them in that role.
Many of us are also in the ‘processes of some deep cleansings and clearings that are at the very root of Grinchyness. For example, have you felt incredibly ‘stuck’ lately, or angry, or frustrated, or just plain confused? Are you suffering from “lack of ascension” moodiness and also from lack of restful sleep? Have you been wondering about your future more and enjoying it less? Have you been plodding through your past and its stories, and comparing it to the now, or worse, the potential future? If you have any of these symptoms, then you are transmuting loads of unhealed masculine patterns and issues, and it doesn’t matter if you are female or male. The grit and grind of the ‘system’ that has been created out of the ego’s version of ‘maleness’ is moving like sludge through the various layers of the Dream, and your body and/or emotions are the pipeline. This process is courtesy of the planet Mars moving backwards, or retrograde, through the sign of Cancer. Cancer is a feminine sign, and Mars is, well, quite masculine, and hence there is the rub. The fury of the fragmented masculine was recently demonstrated by the brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Allow a woman to be in power again in a Muslim nation? Never!
Ya see, guys wanna be guys. They like to feel like providers, protectors, warriors, super-love studs, and all the rest of that stuff. The influence here (and all of astrology is but a symptom of the mind stuff projected ‘out there’) is one of deprogramming the male tendency to control and force outcomes, and that predominantly includes controlling the feminine impulse. When the Mars journey is complete, the possibility for a receptive masculinity can begin to take root in the collective unconscious. This will be activated with the second Mars-Pluto opposition on March 7th, 2008, when both planets are in Cancer-Capricorn. Pluto intends to transform Mars, and assist in merging and union of the feminine-masculine. This will be the call to dropping all perceptions of male-female as identities and gender roles, and to step into our inherent, undivided Being.
The other big headline for 2008, and for the next 15-20 years, is Pluto’s role in global system busting. Even though so many are focused on 2012, heralded in by the Planet’s arrival at the Galactic Center (more astro-babble) it will be up to Pluto to be the one that makes us clean up our messes.
The Fog of Woo is very strong right now, and it may feel like you are beginning to wish for the ‘good old days’ of the New Age. Woo won’t help. Waking up to who you are as a being that can choose from your own consciousness will be more effective. The problem with ‘woo’ is that does not acknowledge the wounded bits still seeking reclamation inside of you, and they are still in charge of sabotaging your best intentions. “Woo” is best described as being ungrounded and ‘out of the body’ when you are feeling uncomfortable about feeling uncomfortable feelings. I know that was a brain-twister, but essentially, you can’t run from your mind-created ‘stuff’ by transcending it. Ignore your shadow and the power available in it at your own peril! Better to do the “trance-end dance”, and cease to hypnotically identify yourself as light or dark, male or female, human or divine.
The mass consciousness may be massively hypnotized by the ego/mind projections, but you don’t have to be. One book/roadmap I can heartily recommend that can really help at this time is “Embrace of the Daimon” by Sandra Lee Dennis. If you are serious about living from the wholeness of your being and ending suffering for yourself and others, then investigate this process. It is quite Plutonian, and will be a catalyst for further insights and integration, if you are willing.
Since we are at a place of new beginnings in this New Year, I also feel to update you on the status of my work with Archangel Ariel. I feel that because I needed to set aside doing Ariel sessions, that many have perceived that I no longer found any value in my role as a channel, or that there was somehow a diminished value in the wisdom and insights of the channeling’s that make up the bulk of my contributions to awakening for the past nine years. I am pleased to announce that my role as a channel is not over, nor have I just decided to stop working with Ariel’s consciousness completely. What I have needed to do for the past four months is to let go of most everything in order that I might deepen within myself. To relinquish the familiar roles and tasks was not an easy choice to surrender to, however it was most necessary. Many new insights on how to face and heal some of my deepest wounds have come forth in the space made by letting go of the ‘channeler’ and facilitator roles. It is part of my deepest desire to bring the highest and clearest perspective and wisdom through my consciousness, and therefore it is of utmost importance to tend to my own garden first.
So I invite you to explore the Archives of channeled Messages and the available CD’s of specific subjects by Ariel and our other brothers and sisters of the Light, and I am in gratitude for your continued interest and support in the Ariel material. Ariel’s consciousness will continue to merge and blend through written and spoken word, and now through the musical compositions that have been flowing in over the past three months. I am also grateful for the support for my first book publication, “What Really Matters: A Guide for Spiritual Awakening.”
It feels like I will be writing to you more often this year, and I look forward to sharing and expanding with you, wherever you are. I am now taking bookings for sessions, and if you feel to, I would look forward to working with you in realizing your Self and your desire for peace and the power to choose and create.
Blessings to you on this day known in the Christian calendar as Epiphany. May all that you are be filled with serenity and joy. Give the gift of your Self this day.
In Love,
Isaac

Quote of the Moment –
‘Out of the Silence’
by James Rhoades
(b. 1841)
LO! in the vigils of the night, ere sped
The first bright arrows from the Orient shed,
The heart of Silence trembled into sound,
And out of Vastness came a Voice, which said:
I AM alone; thou only art in Me:
I am the stream of Life that flows through thee:
I comprehend all substance, fill all space:
I am pure Being, by whom all things be.
I am thy Dawn, from darkness to release:
I am the Deep, wherein thy sorrows cease:
Be still! be still! and know that I am God:
Acquaint thyself with Me, and be at peace!
I am the Silence that is more than sound:
If there within thou lose thee, thou art found:
The stormless, shoreless Ocean, which is I—
Thou canst not breathe, but in its bosom drowned.
I am all Love: there is naught else but I:
I am all Power: the rest is phantasy:
Evil, and anguish, sorrow, death, and hell—
These are the fear-flung shadows of a lie.
Arraign not Mine Omnipotence, to say
That aught beside in earth or heaven hath sway!
The powers of darkness are not: that which is
Abideth: these but vaunt them for a day.
Know thou thyself: as thou hast learned of Me,
I made thee three in one, and one in three—
Spirit and Mind and Form, immortal Whole,
Divine and undivided Trinity.
Seek not to break the triple bond assigned
Mind sees by Spirit: Body moves by Mind:
Divorced from Spirit, both way-wildered fall—
Leader and led, the blindfold and the blind.
Look not without thee: thou hast that within,
Makes whole thy sickness, impotent thy sin:
Survey thy forces, rally to thyself:
That which thou would’st not hath no power to win.
I, God, enfold thee like an atmosphere:
Thou to thyself wert never yet more near:
Think not to shun Me: whither would’st thou fly?
Nor go not hence to seek Me: I am here.
From The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse, 1917

Equinox/Easter & Full Moon Greetings of Peace,
“Ya gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet…”
I really don’t have a lot to say in this edition, except to encourage you to read this month’s transmission entitled “Revelation, Revolution and Resurrection.”
Since transcribing this piece, I’ve come to understand a bit more about Jesus’ behavior during Passover week so long ago. Part of the paradox of the life of the man Jesus was the embodiment of unconditional love and compassion juxtaposed with his uncompromising stance for justice and individual dignity. He was especially vehement in the episode of overturning the tables of the currency exchangers in the outer courtyard of the Temple, and equally vitriolic in his attacks on the hypocrisies of the Sanhedrin priest class. If there are any symbolic parallels to Easter eggs, it was that he wasn’t averse to breaking a few sacred eggs now and then. There is even a description about Jesus from the Roman historian Publius Lentullus that depicts Jesus’ entirely human emotions.
So much of what was recorded about the words and acts of Jesus has come under scrutiny and criticism, mostly due to misunderstanding of his original intent. But then, a passage from the earlier Bible, the Old Testament, alludes to God’s wisdom making a mockery of human wisdom. This is precisely because our egos are not yet capable of thinking as outside the box of materiality and survival. Our minds do not yet operate effectively beyond a prescribed band of the visible wavelength of light, otherwise recognized as the ‘known’ electro-magnetic spectrum. We are a bit disadvantaged in our understanding until we leap-frog past the dogma of our conscious, linear minds, and embrace our multi-dimensional awareness. Once outside the box, the paradoxes are a bit easier to balance within ourselves.
So, rather than ramble on any further, I will instead leave you with this transcript of Jesus from Publius Lentullus –
The following was taken from a manuscript in the possession of Lord Kelly, and in his library, and was copied from an original letter of Publius Lentullus at Rome. It being the usual custom of Roman Governors to advertise the Senate and people of such material things as happened in their provinces in the days of Tiberius Caesar, Publius Lentullus, President of Judea, wrote the following epistle to the Senate concerning the Nazarene called Jesus:
"There appeared in these our days a man, of the Jewish Nation, of great virtue, named Yeshua [Jesus], who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted for a Prophet of truth, but His own disciples call Him the Son of God- He raiseth the dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall, and comely, with very reverent countenance, such as the beholders may both love and fear, his hair of (the colour of) the chestnut, full ripe, plain to His ears, whence downwards it is more orient and curling and wavering about His shoulders. In the midst of His head is a seam or partition in His hair, after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead plain and very delicate; His face without spot or wrinkle, beautified with a lovely red; His nose and mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended; His beard thickish, in colour like His hair, not very long, but forked; His look innocent and mature; His eyes grey, clear, and quick- In reproving hypocrisy He is terrible; in admonishing, courteous and fair spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed with gravity. It cannot be remembered that any have seen Him Laugh, but many have seen Him Weep. In proportion of body, most excellent; His hands and arms delicate to behold. In speaking, very temperate, modest, and wise. A man, for His singular beauty, surpassing the children of men"
[Note: I feel the capitalization of ‘him’ and ‘he’ was added by church scribes and priests much later on- Isaac}

P.S. There is also a very interesting letter from Pontius Pilate to the Emperor Tiberius on the same website listed above.

Quote(s) of the Moment –
“A lie is halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on.” – Anonymous
And...
"A country may be governed with justice, and a war may be won with cunning,
but people can only be mastered by following them.
How can this be known? By looking!
The more people are controlled, the poorer they become;
The poorer they become, the more restless they get;
the more restless they get, the more forcefully they are restrained.
When people are forcefully restrained, their defiance becomes ingenious.
And the more ingenious their defiance, the stranger are the things that happen.
Now when strange things begin to happen, laws and regulations become stricter;
Then stricter laws and regulations mean more criminals and fugitives.
Soon everyone is either a criminal or a fugitive,
And no one can untangle the mess.
Therefore,
The sage does nothing and people govern themselves,
Provokes no one and people are peaceful,
Does not interfere and people prosper,
Is without desire and people fulfill themselves.
The more people are controlled, the less contented they become.
But when will leaders understand the significance of this?"
Lao Tzu, tr. Ray Grigg; stanza 57-58 (trad.), 20-21 (MaWangTui)
