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}

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)

Greetings of Peace,
"What's Next?"
I know it's been a long time since I sent one of these out (March 2008), and some of you have been kind enough to write and ask if I was okay and inquire as to when the next messages were coming out. Sometimes life happens when you're making other plans, and life certainly has been very full of doing lately, and not so much in just 'being.' The 'doing' has been centered on a lot of home improvement and fixing up in preparation to sell. Yes, we are being called to move, and in fact it will be to the United States. So, unless the wind changes direction unexpectedly, we intend to be in Oregon sometime before Christmas.
So the cottage is on the market, and once it sells, we're out of here. This is not a sudden choice, as Lynn and I have been feeling drawn to moving Stateside since last October when we were visiting in Arizona, California and Oregon. While we have not yet discovered where we will actually pitch our tent, it will most certainly be somewhere on the West Coast. We will keep you posted on timetables and other plans. Now that that news is out of the way, I'd like to share with you some of my journeys out on the frontiers of consciousness.
Over the past few years one of the areas I've been exploring is the spiritual perspective of pure 'non-dualism'. Some of my interest was triggered initially when I read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, and "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. This stuff fascinated me, especially the concept that our minds are constructing our so-called 'reality' as fast as we are experiencing it. This is kind of like the railroad tracks being laid just ahead of a train traveling at maximum speed. Advaita Vedanta, as the philosophy of pure non- dualism is known, teaches that everything we perceive is actually one, but because our minds label and categorize, the world and everything (and everyone) in it appears to be happening independently from us, and along a timeline. However, according to the quantum scientists and the Vedanta folks, there's actually nothing out there! Now, this is really cool stuff when viewed from the platform of the mind, and your emotions can get churned up a bit too, pondering how it all works and what the implications might be. For one thing, the ideas of time, past, future and the 'now' gets really jumbled up, and if it's all just a projection, then what do I do now?
The more I pondered, the more disconnected I felt. Perhaps my ego was being crushed under the weight of detachment. I began to wonder where my joy and passion went, and the sense of just feeling anything began to recede. About this time I ran across a fellow by the name of Stephen Harrison, and his first book, "Doing Nothing." Not doing anything appealed to me, and what I read rang a lot of bells for me. Written almost 11 years ago, it was a piercing examination of the marketing of spirituality and consciousness in the West, and how we have become addicted to enlightenment, awareness and stress reduction. Although some of it touched on themes that are in my own first book, "What Really Matters", I eventually discerned that this wonderful man had hit a brick wall in his process of 'seeking', and in doing so it jarred him loose from his addictions to spiritual forms and practices. However, my journey is not Mr. Harrison's journey, and my path has always encompassed something else that I would not trade away for the cool distance of pure non-dualism. I am in accord with a great deal of what Eckhart Tolle and Stephen Harrison are still saying, but I have learned not to salt my experience with flavorings belonging to someone else.
My life has not been made more or less important because there is nothing 'out there'. However, my ego certainly has been deconstructed quite a bit by the humbling thought that we are all making this up. And if we are, then what lies beyond the smoke and mirrors? What we so call God, or Spirit, may be the ultimate conundrum, the indefinable and unending mystery, and it is that relationship that I am interested in knowing first hand. The mystery of my existence, my being self-aware, of you being there in front of me, is the passion of Life, the heart of the matter. Yes, God is in everything, and it is also so completely beyond the forms that we cannot hope to have reason enough to understand it. Perhaps we only know it by surrendering to merging with it again.
It is my choice then to declare that I Am That, that there is no separation, even when confronted with what is actual in my day to day experience. Yes, I will have to accept what is in front of me, what the 'isness' of the moment is, and then I will also have to acknowledge the illusion of the projection as well, and how both profound and unimportant it is. The bottom line is that my faith in what I cannot yet fully comprehend brings me a greater sense of peace and wonder than wrestling with forcing my mind to overcome its own limitations.
Before I had 'awakened' from my human slumbers fourteen years ago, I was aware, yet sleepwalking from year to year, drama to drama, surviving but not really alive. Then, suddenly everything changed and I was immersed in the intensity, the 'hotness' of Life! I still managed to look after myself as any human does, but that part of life was about keeping the body safe, and the 'me' okay. The true Life that pulsed through me was like hot lava, a torrent of intensity and passion. Although I have journeyed through three such 'awakenings', each one more intense than the previous one, there has been one constant; aliveness and passion, a sense of belonging and of having something to give. We all have something to give, and that something is Life. You could call it love, and that is true also. Master Yeshua (Jesus) stated that he came to give Life, so that we would have it more abundantly. Perhaps that is what happens when each of us loses our mind, and regains our soul.
I do not know what is next. I essentially know nothing, and it seems that with each passing day I am letting go of much of what I thought was so important. Gradually, the intensity I've known in the past is now showing up in the little things. Sometimes a walk in nature, or watching the cats play and show off, or holding a caterpillar in my hand and feeling the Life that flows through me in that is also in that small creature stuns me into silence, robs me of reason and restores my faith. I shake with a mixture of bliss and awe and I know myself again. "Blessed are those that have seen and believed. But I say to you, more blest are those that believe, and have not yet seen," said Jesus. To see, we must perceive with different eyes, and to hear we must listen with different ears. The errors of the world will not heal without love, and that love must be strong, steady and unflinchingly present. That kind of love sees the error, and does not add to it. It sees the error as a mistake of the mind, not of the soul, and endeavors to awaken others to make another choice.
To see injustice and suffering and not speak to it, adds to it. To ignore the truth of your heart and not demonstrate it, feeds the fear. To give compassion and praise to those whose hearts falter is powerful beyond knowing. We are not here to continue the game, but to change it forever. If we want a New Earth, then lets first be the New Human. This is what's next…after this now, and the one after that.
In closing I would like to say that most of the beliefs we hold are at the core of human suffering, spiritual and physical, and that for the most part beliefs are the stuff of mind. I also know that belief in the truth of Life, of Love, of the Presence that is in the next breath can change the next now, and that belief is of the soul. It is this same conviction and certainty that caused twelve simple men and one very strong woman in Galilee two thousand years ago to give up their livelihoods and eventually their lives. I know I've oversimplified things in that statement, but no one puts themselves on the line like that unless they've had proof in their hearts that there is no death. Where is that kind of courage of conviction now? Who are you not to believe in your heart's truth?
So, what's next?
In Love,
Isaac

Quote(s) of the Moment -
'If desire causes suffering it may be because we do not desire
wisely, or that we are inexpert at obtaining what we desire. Instead
of hiding our heads in a prayer cloth and building walls against
temptation, why not get better at fulfilling desire?
Salvation is for the feeble, that's what I think. I don't want
salvation I want life, all of life ............. I will
have tasted the banquet that they have before me on
this rich, round planet, rather than recoiling from it
like a toothless bunny.
I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here
merely to test us to capture the grand prize: the safety of the
void. To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy of both men
and gods.'

Greetings of Peace,
I have not released two newsletters within one month since 2001. However, we do live in extraordinary times, and I was really ‘pushed’ to get this one out. I also felt to speak up in a way that I have not done before, and it feels both natural to do so, and a bit scary. So, pardon my stage fright, and read on. I will be writing again in a week or so, and this will become part of a blog I am beginning called “Revelation Station”, so stay tuned. I should have a place for you to log in and comment soon.
I am also releasing this in plain text, so you don’t have to go to the website and download it.

“Get off the Fence!”
By Isaac George
September 21st, 2008
A week ago Friday, September 12th, just as Lynn and I were sitting down for dinner, the most incredible sunset began to manifest just beyond the old railway embankment that borders our back garden. Grabbing the camera, we both raced out to the fence line on the west-southwest part of our property. What was unfolding was one of those illuminations of the underside of clouds that occurs whenever the sun has already disappeared over the horizon, and the dying rays light up the clouds in a herringbone pattern of dappled pinks and gold. Lynn clambered onto the fence rails, while I stood on a bag of bark-o-mulch and snapped the camera to my eye for my first shot. Success! Then, Lynn encouraged me to get up on the fence railings with her, and try to get the next shot, one that was quickly becoming even more spectacular than the one I had already gotten. I got up on the second rail with her, lost my balance, and jumped back on the flowerbed. I then got up again, put the viewfinder to my eye and began the focus process towards the incredible sight of clouds and light. Suddenly, I heard a crack, felt the sickening falling sensation, followed quickly by shock and physical pain. Next thing I knew, I was sitting in the flowerbed, and Lynn was asking me if I was all right. No, I was not. My upper arms had cuts, my left wrist was scraped raw and brush burned top and bottom. My right-hand thigh was bruised, my left shoulder ached, and my shirt had a rather large hole torn in it around the area of my heart. I also got quite a good set of abrasions on my neck in two places, and looked like someone had tried to hang me with a rough rope.
The next day, as I nursed my wounds, we discussed the event of the previous evening, and wondered if the incident held any deeper message. Lynn wondered if it meant ‘get off the fence’, which is a great message to anyone that is ‘sitting on the fence’ about anything. Since we all have our role to play, the destiny of our soul and spirit to manifest, I began to notice how many times I had vacillated over our recent decision to sell our home and move to the U.S. It also was a message to stop prevaricating and waiting for some ‘sign’ about what I was to do next in my journey. This ‘accident’ was one of the signs I had been waiting for. Fortunately, it did not hurt too much, and I wondered if there would be any other ‘wake up’ calls. I did not have to wait very long.
On Sunday, the rains began again…hard. Our septic system, overloaded with water from the soaking rains of the past six weeks, and in need of emptying anyway, finally clogged and backed up. For the next three days, we could not use our toilets, showers, dishwasher, washing machine, or sinks. By Monday morning, we finally got a hold of a service to come out and deal with the problem, but they were ‘backed up’ with emergency appointments and would be able to arrive until Wednesday morning. Ahhh, another message from the Universe and our souls…where are you ‘blocked’ and congested, where are you full of ...? Hmmm, I will not actually answer that directly, but it certainly was another message to ‘get clear’ and clean out emotional (water) and possibly physical toxicity.
“House of Cards”
The big event Monday was the announcement that a major U.S. investment bank had filed for bankruptcy (Lehman Bros.), while another one (Merrill Lynch) was gobbled up by the Bank of America. The conjunction of Uranus and the Full Moon in Pisces dished up two ‘surprises’ that stunned the world financial markets. There were players in the background too, Pluto and Chiron, that were underpinning a major shift in how we perceive the ‘value’ of money and goods in general. As the chaos took hold on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I remembered an email that a close friend had forwarded to me at the beginning of September that warned about the collapse of U.S. markets on September 15th, 2008 . I tried to find that email but could not, having had deleted it about a week later. (I have since found it again online, and it is either a warning by a sincere and astute financial analyst or insider information by someone who knows who is, or what is, manipulating the markets and currencies). In any case, the banks and the financial markets are a house of cards. Ever since the mid-1990’s, the creation of ‘wealth’ through the speculative buying and selling of currencies, equities (derivatives) and mortgage paper has created a money bubble that has turned what was of value on its head.
Quite simply, money is now debt. If you want to learn more about the exciting world of fractional reserve banking, then please click here (“Money as Debt”-Google Video). The so-called wealth created through the financial services worldwide really has no inherent value, because it does not represent anything being produced, and does not rest on a substance of stability, like gold or silver. Even the idea that gold and silver has value is just another consensus belief, propped up by all of us. We could make chickens, or buttons, or wool blankets have universal value too, if that is what everyone wanted and needed. Agreement and belief are all you need to create consensus. What is happening now has never happened before, and getting real about where it may go is not only useful for all of us, but empowering as well.
Ultimately, from a spiritual/metaphysical perspective, everything is temporary, ephemeral and will eventually change and experience dissolution. Civilizations rise and fall, empires built, then collapse, even landmasses appear and then subside (see Surtsey Island, Iceland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surtsey.) However, the one thing that is constant in all of this is change. Whether castles are made of sand or prefabricated concrete makes no difference…one day they both will succumb to the sea.
What is one to do? What will happen next? A better question would be; what do we choose next? How can we feel empowered when things happen that seem to be beyond our control. Re-reading the Serenity Prayer of St. Francis might be a great place to begin.
Some of us may choose to have ‘our’ reality whilst the rest of the world experiences upheaval. On more than one occasion, I have heard the New Age folks say ‘that’s not in my reality’, and I’ve wondered if that is only a choice not to involve one’s mind in negative thinking, or is it also a choice that comes from subconscious pain avoidance and denial? To deny what is actual does not make it change or go away. This house of cards is not going to go away anytime soon either. The toxicity in our financial affairs, personal and planetary, is due for an extraordinary and thorough sorting out.
The Master Yeshua (Jesus) had loads to say about money, finance and investing, and alternative paths to health, abundance and life. He also did not approve of money changing (currency trading, speculation and usury) as it is spiritually corrupt and abhorrent, causing souls to feel entrapped demeaned and enslaved to manipulation, shame and indebtedness. If around today, I would imagine his ire against hedge-fund managers, debt collectors and the like might be quite fiery. Well, at least he’d speak out against the fraud of loaning fictitious money for interest, and then if you can’t pay it back, having your real property and wealth seized to square the ‘debt.’
Recently, in the U.S., some bankruptcy judges are fighting back on the behalf of beleaguered homeowners defaulting on their mortgages. They are demanding that the banks produce the original mortgage contracts in order to prosecute their claim on a house or property. If they have already bundled that contract along with thousands of others and sold them off to the highest bidder as an investment vehicle, then they are out of luck. The case is then dismissed, and the folks keep their house. So far, so good, but at this point it is a very local phenomena.
“Something From Nothing’s Still Nothing…”
…or so the old song goes. Phony Monopoly Money is what the banks have been creating, and then they sell you the illusion that it is real. That paper money in your hands, the stuff in circulation appears real. The stuff floating around in cyberspace and on the banks books is anything but. The banks call their fictional money, “check book money”. When a bank creates a loan, it is creating money. When the loan is paid, the money literally disappears, as if it never existed in the first place. Hey, this is on Wikipedia, and I did not make it up! Wikipedia did not make it up either; it is the Federal Reserve Board (not Federal, but a privately held corporation) who is printing the money and are in charge.
Now, something from nothing is making quite a lot of real money for a very few folks. The brokers in the City of London have been making huge bonuses for almost a decade now on speculation with debt instruments and currency trading. A billion here and a billion there, and soon we are talking real money. Anyway, this happens every day, sometimes all day and all night, all across cyberspace, and they can even make a profit on betting when a stock or currency will be devalued and go down! This is ‘short selling’ or ‘put options’, and much the same thing happened to United Airlines and American Airlines stock a few days before 9/11. Someone knew that these two airlines would face a stock correction after the attacks, so they bet that it would go done, which it did…before the event!
Nonetheless, all of this accumulating debt has been sold on and on and on until no one knows who is holding the hot (toxic) potatoes. Now all of the nothings are indeed something, and the mathematical shell game has run out of permutations. As the old Chinese proverb said, “if we don’t change our direction, we will end up where we’re headed.” Seems it’s time for a real change of direction, one that is about creating something new and just, and not just reforming the existing system. Throwing a trillion dollars at the current situation is like pouring kerosene on a fire.
“We’re In a Tight Spot”
You may be thinking that I have just gone off the deep end. Well, back in my late twenties and early thirties I was in the field of accounting, so I do have some experience with what I am writing about here. My work as an auditor and controller in some major hotels taught me about fiscal responsibility and sound practice. With the era we are entering, all bets are off in the ‘business as usual’ department. I am not a betting man anyway, so speculation is not useful here, and there has been enough of that already. We are in a tight spot, but that tightness will serve us too. We will become a bit more responsible, a bit more economical, and a bit more sensitive to the correct use of limited resources. The Pluto in Capricorn era will be about the wise use of limited resources, which will eventually teach us to have a more conscious relating to our planet and each other. It will also stimulate the change needed in our personal and collective beliefs and habits, as well as stimulate new inventions and methods that will assist us to create new economic models, along with new models of community and self-reliance.
“You Cannot Serve Two Masters”
Ever since my profound spiritual awakening experience fourteen years ago I’ve replaced my rather down-to-earth worldview of finance with a more universal model based on the metaphysical principles demonstrated and taught by Master Yeshua (Jesus), Florence Scoville Shinn, Archangel Ariel, and others.
Essentially, after the kundalini event started, my practice of fiscal prudence went out the window. I could not operate as I had before, and for a while, I had to hire someone else to pay my bills and balance the checkbook. Eventually, I ran up too much credit card debt, and found the going tough indeed. As I gradually began applying the principles that Spirit was showing me, things got better, mostly because I received promotions in the field I was in, and the pay rate went up with it. After I quit my corporate job and moved to Sedona to find my true work, I went through a few more difficulties until the channelling and teaching began. I found my feet as it were, and I have always felt freer and more supported than at any other time in my life. At times, I felt desperate, but I always received what I needed, even when it was not what I wanted.
Divesting yourself of debt of any kind is one of the best things you can do for yourself in stable or unstable economic times. The sense of freedom from not having debt is wonderful. Florence Scoville Shinn created an affirmation on debt that is quite empowering - “There is no debt in God’s Reality. I now place all of my burdens upon the Christ within me, and I walk on unencumbered and free!” Becoming debt free also frees you from the official world money-laundering system. If you have a credit card, fine, just pay off the balance every month, and do not create more ‘interest.’ Using cash in most situations is the easiest however.
Creating a sense of health and security from the inside out can allow you to let go of other financial burdens such as life insurance, medical insurance, and investments in the stocks, bonds, or commodities markets. These instruments were created from either fear or greed, and only perpetuate the dis-ease in the world. When you no longer fear death, or illness, or feel that you have to create financial security in order to feel protected, you will taste more freedom than you have ever believed possible. To continue to live a dual existence, professing to trust in Spirit, and at the same time maintaining a destructive life-style is no longer congruous. Yes, it harms the planet, and it harms other people. Did you know that there are more millionaires in Mumbai, India than in New York City, and more than 80% of that city’s population lives in poverty? Free market capitalism is the last failure of the human ego, for it respects neither life nor Nature, and does not acknowledge a Higher Power. The so-called ‘Masters of the Universe’ in the world’s financial markets are now exposed as the instrument of other puppet-masters and string-pullers. The shadow financial system has just come out of the closet, and it is a fraud. We are not disempowered. We were only led to believe that there has been no other choice, no other way to live and prosper.
“Revelation Station”
The next few weeks are still going to be an intense roller coaster, so remember to breathe, and take good care of you. As I see/sense it, and as I am being shown, there are still hidden elements that will influence the markets for good or ill. The U.S. election is also a roller coaster, and the event chart that I have erected for November 4th over Washington D.C. shows an interesting opposition between Saturn and Uranus that will be exact that day. Saturn in Virgo is about maintaining the illusion of strong structures and pragmatic, political will, while Uranus in Pisces is the energy of sudden fluctuations, as in commodities such as oil, water, and natural gas, and the element of water and storms (hurricanes, tsunamis, etc.) in the natural world. This opposition has the same feel that the Pluto-Saturn opposition in August of 2001 had, an energy of ‘something’s gotta give.’ For me, Saturn-Uranus is Mister “I Make the Rules” and Mister “I Break the Rules” at complete odds with each other, so anything may happen, and probably will. Whatever happens, remember, it is not any accident!
The other major influence here is the upcoming return of Pluto into the sign of Capricorn. This will occur on November 26th-27th, exactly at the moment of Uranus stationing direct. Pluto has already dipped into Capricorn once, and that was just at the beginning of the sub-prime mortgage crisis that started in August 2007. The effects of Pluto (or any of the outer planets) changing signs is experienced long before that actual event on a calendar, and that is why what is happening now is happening now.
Pluto is transformational, but takes us to that transformation via the ‘underworld’, giving us the opportunity to root out any hidden demons and traumas of the psyche before we arise again like a phoenix from the ashes. Capricorn rules structures: banking, politics, trade economies, and authority. The world that we created is now subject to dissolution via Pluto, and once Pluto enters Aquarius on November 22nd, 2024, the economic and political power that was created since the establishment of America in the late 1700’s will have evaporated. In other words, anything not in alignment with Spirit is outta here.
The final player in all of this is Neptune, the ruler of higher love, mysticism, addictions, delusions and denial. With Neptune currently retrograde (going inward and backward) in the sign of Aquarius, we are now reviewing the belief systems we have held that are based on illusion, and where we are addicted (consumerism-buy now, pay whenever…) and in denial (crisis, what crisis?), and relying on the prophets of abundance to build up affluence (i.e., “The Secret”). Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is also in the sign of Aquarius, and will conjunct Neptune next May. Chiron is calling on us now to create something new, to respond to the situation from a spiritual perspective, so that the many rather than the few can benefit. Nothing happens in isolation, and Aquarius is going to remind us of that repeatedly.
In this present climate of uncertainty, I would encourage each and every one who reads these words to honestly acknowledge and befriend whatever fears and doubts you may be experiencing about ‘the future’ and about your relationship to money, prosperity, poverty, and survival. Positive reinforcement like prayer, meditation, immersion in Nature, and intimate friendships are essential for balance. However, refrain from using any spiritual practice to avoid the uncomfortable feelings that stressful change brings. Above all, do not judge or blame those that are victims of their greed, or those whose fear is so great that they seek to dominate others. Essentially, these are all symptoms of a dying power structure that is desperate and insane enough to try to use the next few years’ worth of political and economic advantage to dominate the planet, and it will not work. Terrorism on demand will not work either. It is the last gambit of those we have labeled the Illuminati, the Dark Forces, and the World Management Team... Change will come, nonetheless, because we will choose a different way, and because Spirit is hacking the system.
We can no longer serve the world system and God. However, we can co-create an honest and equitable system that is Spirit-inspired. One of the ways of change will be peaceful non-participation, non-compliance, and non-cooperation with the current system. This is not ‘dropping out’; this is path-cutting par excellence. In a way, this whole scenario is beginning to read like something out of the Book of Revelation, and perhaps it is a time of testing, of sorting out what our values are, and what our relationship with the Infinite is. Fear, the false evidence appearing real, is where our work is, and we cannot do it alone and in isolation. We have each other, and we will need to encourage and praise, and stimulate each other into greater courage and greater compassion. It is time to declare Who You Are. It is time to reach out to others. It is time to make a change. It is time to take risks. It is time to speak out. It is time to dance and sing. It is time to create your life as a mirror of how you imagine heaven to be.
It is time to get off the fence.
Peace,
Isaac

“The Keys of Heaven and Earth”
By Isaac George, Oct.4th, 2008
Greetings of Peace,
In my most recent PDL Newsletter I alluded to a piece that was circulating around the Internet that predicted the stock market upheavals beginning on or around September 15th, 2008. What I did not allude to at all were some other bits that have been floating around about a major 9/11 type event or series of events that has a high probability of happening on or around October 7th, 2008. The source for these predictions came from a group known as the Time Monks, and they use web-bots, the search engine robots that trawl through the Internet, to formulate their prognostications. Some of these ‘monks’ stumbled onto the accuracy of analyzing the frequency of certain words and phrases occurring over a period of time on the Internet, which can then be extrapolated to point to a particular nexus, or event, in human consciousness and outer affairs. The Time Monks were spot on with regard to 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and now apparently, the credit and stock meltdown. They are not the only source for the October 7th-14th timeline, and they and others also mention that this is the beginning of a three-four month ‘release’ that will peak sometime in February of 2009. There is no firm data on exactly what this data points to, but it could be one or more of the following:
Now, I am not one to rain on anyone’s prophecy parade, having been an avid student of prophecy and predictions since my late teenage years. However, there is a certain smell I detect with these sorts of pronouncements that I would like to air out, if I may. There is also an experiment that I would like to invite you to participate in that could have a significant ‘levelling’ effect on any of the foreseen or unforeseen ‘events’ that may be arriving shortly. A little retrospective is in order first.
Back in the wake of September 11th, 2001, I had an uneasy feeling about the timing of the attacks that had something other than NWO (New World Order) agendas, or intense astrological oppositions (Pluto/Sag versus Saturn/Gemini) going for it. That feeling was corroborated by the researchers at Enterprise Mission, a think-tank created by former NASA scientist Richard Hoaglund, who discovered the famous ‘face’ in the Cydonia complex on Mars in 1976. He has also pioneered research into ‘hyperdimensional physics’, and it was this research model that Hoaglund’s researchers used to decipher the events of September 11th, 2001. (Please refer to the original article for your own purposes, as it would take to long to provide a decent synopsis here.)
Essentially, their model revealed a complex manifestation in matter of hyperdimensional timelines and geographical pathways that reveal the significance of the 9/11 event from the level of Consciousness. It also tied in with data from the Global Consciousness Project at Princeton University, New Jersey, U.S.A. The bottom line to the research is that on 9/11 there was a hyperdimensional window that began to open in the early morning hours on that day, and stayed open until the middle of that afternoon. The nature of the ‘window’ was such that if anyone wanted to stage an event with maximum impact on the global consciousness of humanity, this would be an extraordinary time to do so. If successful, a reality ‘insert’ of great magnitude that would affect the conscious or subconscious collective mind could then be manipulated to achieve some goal. Since I lived through the assassinations of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King, and numerous other shocks to the collective psyche, I thought that 9/11 could be ranked in a similar way. However, I definitely feel the September 11th was different in magnitude and intent, and I now feel the same way about this latest round of apocalyptic, financial Sept.11th’s. Whoever orchestrated 9/11 (yes Mildred, it was a setup) knew exactly when to strike at the critical moment. What has been happening since Sept.15th, 2008 is no different in its effect, and like the Tower card in the Tarot deck, lightning has struck (again) and the structures are crumbling.
What’s important to pay attention to here is that there were warnings of an attack before September 11th, 2001, and warnings of an impending financial disaster before September 15th, 2008. The subprime mess was festering and bubbling for nigh on seven years, and was certainly no big secret after last August. Central banks and private banks looked the other way, and even in some cases some institutions continued to promote zero-down, low interest starter mortgages right up to the collapse a few weeks ago. The sad fact is no one wanted to do anything about it, otherwise the politicians, government regulators and private economists would have been screaming to head the whole mess off at the pass before it went toxic and viral. No, the end game was not in sight, the prize not yet won, so on it went and still it goes. What’s the point, you might wonder.
Well, it is rather simple, and complex, and it is that there are those who are so fearful that they are determined to seek power over others, and attempt to control the whole world, if it were possible. However, what I feel more inspired to press on with here instead is a positive and powerful way to respond to what might well be another attempt to hijack human consciousness further into fear, by ‘predicting’ that its going to happen anyway.
The structures and systems that we’ve grown up with and for the most part are so reliant on and familiar with were in place since the turn of the last century. In addition to the “Money as Debt” (YouTube) piece I mentioned in the last Newsletter, there is another film by a young fella named John Nada called “Wake Up Call” that goes even deeper, so you can check it out on your own here.
Anyway, we grew up not really knowing much about the world around us and how it operated, other than what we learned from our parents, from school, or in the workplace. We hardly questioned our environment, except to perhaps sense that all was not as it appeared to be. Like Neo, the hero of the movie “The Matrix”, we felt the matrix, but did not know what it was. Now, we see the matrix plainly, and we know that we have come here to embody a new set of values that will actually dissolve the inverted values and thought forms that this matrix was built from.
During our personal ‘wake up calls’, each one of us has been on a journey of spiritual discoveries and deep healing on multi-dimensional levels. One of the biggest conundrums for me, and for most of those born in the Pluto in Leo generation, has been the issue of power. This issue has karmic roots in the dim past of Atlantis and any other lifetime in which we either held power, abused power, or lusted after power. Abuse of spiritual power is also in that mix, and since that is a more or less universal desire/fear that most awakened souls encounter sooner or later, it has the deepest ramifications. It is deeply tied in with feelings of self-worth (or lack of) and separation from Source, or God. This is also a complex and simple issue to tackle here, so I am going to distill it down to its essence, mainly so we can get to the experiment.
In essence, you and I are Source. You and I are individuations of the one Intelligence/Power from which everything arises. Eckhart Tolle calls it ‘Presence’, and I like that one. So we are the Presence, we are the “One (anagram = Neo)”. Now, Neo didn’t believe he was the ‘one’ either, and had to go through quite a bit until he actually let go of being called the ‘one’ and then he just acted from oneness. So it is with us. The application of the power of intention is something we can sometimes control and direct, but unless we are completely ‘healed’, i.e., returned to Source, we will always create unintended consequences. Conversely, if we adapt an attitude that is entirely rooted in ‘whatever God’s Will is for me is what I want’, then we can remain in a state that is ever unsure of our standing with our Creator, and our awareness is arrested into a form of spiritual adolescence. There is another way.
I would like to call this other way the “Keys of Heaven and Earth”, because it is our birthright as part of Source to come into full conscious participation with the Source. When Peter recognized Jesus as the Christ, and declared it, Christ then bestowed on Peter the ‘keys of heaven and earth” whereby whatever Peter would loose (release) in heaven or earth, or bind (constrain) in heaven or earth, would come to pass. This metaphor is an excellent way for us to see that when we recognize our status as “Christ” (the sons and daughters of the Creator), then the ‘keys to the Kingdom’ are restored to us, and pass into a companionship and partnership with Source, and we then truly enter the Kingdom (unity consciousness).
We may still not yet see or understand the deeper mysteries or miracles, or how they come about in the world of form, but if there ever is a time when faith and love are needed in our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters, it is now. The experiment
I speak of is this:
“In the Name of ________________(use whatever name for Spirit you feel most comfortable with), I now command healing and balancing for all of humanity and its affairs now. It is so, and so be it.”
(The example is based on the principles I used in my Millenium Mystery School classes from 2000-2004, and can also be found in Theta Healing, by Vianna Stibal.)
I invite anyone who feels drawn to participate in this over the next three days to do so whole-heartedly and without expectation concerning the outcomes. You can do this experiment more than once per day if desired, and you can come together and do it with friends. But please keep the actual ‘doing’ short, simple and direct. Also, pay attention to any personal needs or shifts, and look after yourself with love and compassion. Watch, observe, and see what’s next with trust and peace within.
If you feel guided to, please copy and paste this experiment into an email, and share it with friends and fellow travellers. I would also appreciate hearing from you if you experience anything interesting within the experiment, or have some insight you wish to share.
Above all, be at peace, create well, and remember that the best prophecy is a failed prophecy.
Thanks,
Isaac

Greetings of Peace,
“Trick or Treat”
The view of the elections in the U.S. is very interesting from my position here in Britain. Many programs have sprung up on television and radio about the American political process, the economy, the social fabric, history and culture. Big name BBC and ITV correspondents trundle across the American landscape interviewing and prodding, looking for a defining vibration that indicates a major shift in the future direction of the United States. A good many of them focus on the ascendency of Barack Obama, and how many view him as the only hope for the nation and its myriad problems and challenges (most of which were created by the Clinton and Bush presidencies). Shades of Princess Leia from Star Wars…‘help me Obi Wan, you are our only hope.’
In the meantime, almost forgotten in the bubbling froth of election fervor, is the continuing presence of George W. and company in Washington, D.C. The rumor mills among conspiracy theorists are churning with hints and signs that due process may be pre-empted by a Bush-hatched plot to suspend the elections, declare martial law, and create a police state, not necessarily in that order. As unlikely as this seems, the sheer volume of Executive Orders signed by Bush over the last 18 months that has gutted Habeas Corpus, overturned laws against using U.S. troops on American soil, and given the President the right to declare anyone an enemy of the state just because he says so, have fed the fears of many who wonder, ‘well, if you go to the trouble to get all of those pins set up, why not use them?’ Now, I am no conspiracy theorist, and prefer higher perspective that goes beyond the need for political parties or half-baked conspiracy theories, a future that is beyond the current ‘matrix’ that is based on the old paradigm of scarcity and fear. However, as the old Arab adage goes, ‘trust to Allah, and tie up your camel.’ Another way of saying it is to be self-sourcing and self-reliant, and eliminate codependency with anything that requires you to unnecessarily compromise yourself, or overburden your life with complexity and stress.
I subscribe to practical spirituality with direct and verifiable experience with Source, and express the application of intention as a natural extension of that Source. As someone else expressed it recently, ‘I am God also.’ I envision a sustainable, peaceful, non-competitive life experience for myself and everyone. I see no logical reason for believing in scarcity, even though human DNA seems to be solidly programmed with it. I never was interested in competing, and in fact, it felt toxic in my body to do so, even in sports at school. I never really bought into the ‘it’s a dog eat dog world’ philosophy so prevalent in the 1950’s and 1960’s in the U.S., and I was a fanatical rebel whenever I heard anyone (especially mom) tell me to ‘go along to get along’, i.e., conform or be lost forever. In short, I was a sort of dropout, a non-participant in the ‘game’ of life on Planet Earth. * (see endnotes)
To approach the current financial situation with the mindset of trying to save or salvage the old order is to miss the point. Every day insult is being added to injury as the same banks and major investment firms that precipitated the mess (and which were encouraged by the politicians and economists from both parties who backed the ‘free markets know best’ syndrome) now ring the Fed Reserve doorbell and yell ‘trick or treat!’
They are getting most of the treats in big handouts, while at the same time thousands lose their homes, their savings, their livelihoods, and their self-respect from the trickery of excessive materialism. The trick has been played on the entire world, and now the treats are being sucked out of treasuries and central banks around the planet with breathtaking speed. Also, do not expect any swift retribution against CEO’s and other execs for the financial collapse when a new administration takes over in January. The system will attempt to protect itself, as all systems do when threatened from without or within, and the reforms will only penetrate to the first or second levels of power on Wall Street and within the D.C. Beltway.
While ‘grand theft tax money’ is being played out, we may miss another point. The homeless and destitute who believed in the American Dream turned nightmare are a growing segment of the population in the U.S., while in the U.K. the foreclosures and unemployment figures are also beginning to take a brutal hold on the economy. Who will support our brothers and sisters who are the casualties of the hedge-fund collapse? Are we our brother’s and sister’s keeper? What if we are hoarding, just like the banks, afraid that tomorrow may come and that there may not be enough to pay our bills, buy the food, put gas in the tank? What happens when the homeless ring the doorbell, and ask ‘treats, please?’ Do we turn away, or do we open our hearts to a new way, with a new consciousness? What is next?
As the Great Depression of the 1930’s began to grip the world, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that ‘there is nothing to fear but fear itself’, and initiated reforms that got the American economy slowly back on its feet again. At the same time, the economic trauma of the worldwide depression spawned fascist regimes in Italy and Germany. People in those countries, tired of years of hyper-inflation and want, longed for someone to lead them out of hard times, a strong man with big words and a big vision. The direction of history for that time was a huge “Y” in the road, and eventually ended in World War II. These times are different, but our personal and collective choices will be even more important now.
What shall we choose then? If we do not wish to repeat history, I feel that it is time that we look to creating a different response to what it happening, and envisioning a different sort of future for ourselves and those who follow. We will be called upon to practice caring compassion for our fellow human beings, and to do better with less in our daily lives, making ever wiser and more informed choices in every aspect of our affairs. Some wise soul once said, “Abundance is having just enough to share.” Greed is the offspring of fear, and is the antithesis of faith. We must learn to face and transmute our fears, while developing an unshakeable faith in that Source of life that lives through us. We are God also, as well as human. It is very important to know one essential thing: we are not alone, ever, and the well of Infinite Love is always present within and without us. The subconscious belief in scarcity is at the core of all fears, and since it is an illusion, it can be healed. We can collectively choose to set a course that will lead humanity out of the slavery to greed, want, monetarism, and consumerism, a course that will eventually free everyone from the need to compete for or hoard resources.
So, Halloween is here, and the time for trick and treat will soon be over. Next are Thanksgiving, then Solstice and Christmas. Remember those who seem to have less than you this holiday season, and let us open our hearts and purse-strings to assist in whatever way we can. No more trick or treat, boom and bust, winners and losers, survival of the fittest, rich or poor, light and dark.
Above and through it all, we need to recognize that all of this, the conditions of the world, is transitory and will change and pass away. In the light of that, it essential to live our lives to the fullest possible, and cultivate gratitude and joy, even when it seems we can’t. Turn within. Get quiet. Read a good novel. Enjoy nature. Cook some food. Snuggle under the covers for an extra 10 minutes. Dance a little. Cry, even if it is just to release the tension. Rent a funny movie. Help someone out. Add to this list and keep it growing.
Let us begin with this moment, a moment of grace, and not take sides anymore.
Peace,
Isaac
*Endnotes: * I’d like to include a quote here about competition from the book “Letter to Earth” by Elia Wise:” Competition is making you better at what does not work. And the economy is a completely illusory value system - even in its own context. The new language derives from energy, integralism, love and compassion. The tools you need are currently in development in your society. Some are already available for application. Some are temporarily thwarted from application by vested interests and established momentum.” (Page 117).
P.S. Since I’ve lived here now for four years, and I find it interesting that Guy Fawkes Day is November 5th, the day after Election Day in the U.S. Don’t know who Guy Fawkes is? Look it up here, or, watch the movie “V for Vendetta.”

Quote(s) of the Moment –
“It is no sign of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
*******
Things to Ponder –
Ever wonder where the word ‘government’ came from? Well, if you break down the word, you have ‘govern’ and ‘ment’
‘Govern’ (from online dictionaries) means to hold in check or control. ‘Ment’ means a state of mind or consciousness, or an act, or the result of action. ‘Ment’ is also the root of ‘mental’ or ‘mentation’, the act of rational thinking.
So, in essence, the word government means to hold in check, or control, states of mind, or actions that arise thereof. You might say ‘mind control’ or ‘control of the state (of mind?)’, and not be too far off the mark.
