Greetings of Peace,

“Changing Times, Changing Seasons – Welcome to the Sanctuary!”


Welcome to the new Pure Divine Love Newsletter…or rather, the first Sanctuary Newsletter. During the coming months the Pure Divine Love website and publishing arm will be transmuting. Not sure exactly what it will turn into, except that certain elements of the current website will be migrating to a brand-new site, with possibly a brand-new name. Transmuting or re-inventing ourselves is in keeping with the r-evolutionary times will live in. Creatively, we are becoming more individuated, while at the same time becoming more aware of the collective ‘us’. The format of the Newsletter will be like more like a news magazine, with multiple articles, outside links, video and audio clips.

We hope you’ll like the new look and new features, and we’d also ask for your patience through the changes. If there is anything you don’t like, or features/articles you’d like more of, then please let the Editor (me!) know by sending your feedback to archariel@yahoo.com.

So, pour yourself a cup o' warm cider, break out the nibbles, start a cracklin' fire, and enjoy the read. See you next month!

Blessings,
Isaac

“Digital Deception”

I’ve just finished reading a book entitled “You Are Not a Gadget” by Jaron Lanier, and I highly recommend it. Yes, a real book. Not an e-book, or a Kindle book, or a downloadable .PDF book. A physical book made with physical paper, from physical trees (or recycled physical cardboard) and physical ink. Quaint, huh? It’s not exactly an enjoyable read, but it may be an important read. It’s about creativity, the Internet, social networking, and the question of personhood. Are we in charge of our technology, or is our technology now shaping us in ways we never imagined. And, is it healthy? Do those who are at the cutting edge of VR (virtual reality) and AI (artificial intelligence) sufficiently aware to be entrusted with the future of mankind? These are the sort of big questions the book poses, and, it was written by a Silicon Valley insider that has been at the forefront of the developing technological revolution known as the World Wide Web, and who is paradoxically one of its harshest critics.

Here are a couple of quotes to ponder on: “If you want to know what’s really going on in a society or ideology, follow the money. If money is flowing to advertising instead of musicians, journalists and artists, then society is more concerned with manipulation than truth or beauty. If content is worthless, then people will start to become empty-headed and contentless”, and “Humans are free. We can commit suicide for the benefit of a Singularity (Web 2.0). We can engineer our genes to better support an imaginary hive mind. We can make culture and journalism into second-rate activities and spend centuries remixing the detritus of the 1960’s and other eras before individual creativity went out of fashion. Or we can believe in ourselves. By chance, it might turn out we are real”, and finally “The deep meaning of personhood is being reduced to an illusion of bits.”

My recent personal experiences with social networking and my forays into designing websites have brought me to a spiritual and intellectual impasse. When I am spending time in nature, or conversing with someone else while in their physical presence, compared with the experience of the immediacy of online sound-bites or artificial landscapes of Facebook, I am becoming more and more aware of a feeling of discontentedness with the noosphere and the hive mind, the proposed Singularity of digital self-images. I feel less like a person than I used to!

Years ago in the heyday of my channeling work, Archangel Ariel described the Internet as the ‘outernet’, an artificial construct of the human neural net and the collective unconscious.  A little while later, I met a well-known astrologer and spiritual teacher who had published many ‘new age’ books, and was dumbfounded to discover that she refused to engage with the World Wide Web. She had no email address, and relied on others to publish and update her website. You want to contact her? Send a piece of mail via the post! Her explanation was that the Web was completely 4th Dimensional, or of the Astral realm, and as such was polluted with distortions, dramas, and manipulative influences.  In short, to dive into the hive mind without taking into account the risks of exposure, one could become enamoured with the sense of ‘we-ness’ and lose track of the real WWW, the higher-order spiritual reality of which we are all a part. Obviously, it is paradoxical that I am presenting this perspective (and my own!) via an instrument of the Internet – the ubiquitous e-zine newsletter. [Personally speaking, I’d enjoy this interaction more if we could all be sitting together enjoying a drink and chatting.]

It is interesting to look at the language of Cyberspace for the clues. We’re so adept at naming things for what they are, then ignoring the consequences. In the past, the word ‘web’ was applied to the technology of spiders, or to denote a trap of some kind. Now we assume it describes a social and spiritual mechanism that frees humanity from many perceived constraints and limits. Perhaps the promise of the Singularity is a betrayal, and we would do well to heed the warnings of someone like Jaron Lanier. Trust your instincts, develop your discernment and delve into your Self. I suppose what I’m favouring here is organic realism versus digital copies of realism. Even though we have become all too familiar with Matrix-like themes about the nature of ‘organic’ models in the multiverses and our infantile understandings about the nature of Consciousness, we would do well to appreciate a natural flesh and blood humanity versus a cloned cyber-copy. I have no love of being inserted into any virtual reality, where my sense of self is embedded in an avatar. I say this not because I am a hater of technology, but because I love, and a chip of silicon circuitry does not.

I encourage you to consider that the promise of the web could easily be turned into a tyranny of sorts. Reducing ourselves to some common digital denominator for the sake of group consciousness/consensus can become such a tyranny.  Individuation of Consciousness is the anti-thesis to what the progenitors of Singularity envision, and I celebrate that our spiritual potential is worth elevating above hive mindedness. An current example would be the real people occupying Wall Street, versus Tweeting about it on the Net. The street and the coffee shop will be where the r-evolution is played out, not in cyberspace. Welcome the Real.

Peace,
Isaac

“Shine on Harvest Moon”


The transits and processes that I discussed briefly in the August Newsletter Update as focused on the continuing stressful square between Pluto and Uranus. Now that Pluto is in direct motion, and Uranus continues to retrograde away from Pluto’s influence, a decidedly different vibe is happening. For one, Pluto is coming into a harmonious aspect to Jupiter, and this is providing some much need relief from the squeezing tension of Uranus-Pluto. Relief in any form is welcome right now, and since we’ve passed the Vernal Equinox, and Autumn is well underway, the lessening of external light and the cooler, wetter weather calls for us to kindle a warmer inner glow to sustain us into the coming winter months. However, we’re still in a tight spot, astrologically-speaking, and I will describe how some of the energies can be utilized consciously.

The Function of Transits

Astrology is about inner and outer conditions as they pertain to life on this planet. We don’t have to get caught up in the perception that we are in any way at the mercy of the capriciousness of the archetypes that rule the planets and stars. In my experience the function of astrology is to illuminate the processes within and without, and since transits are happening all the time in the ‘now’, they help us to become more aligned to our true nature. Our birth chart is static-we carry it around with us all of our natural lives. Transits are the continual dance of the constellations and planets in relationship to time and the geosynchronous position of our planet and other planets in our system, plus the constellations in our galaxy. So, if there is a major life-changing event happening that I seek to get a better understanding about it (which usually occurs after the fact) I can find that there is (or was) a significant transit happening that affected my direct experience.

Transits are the externalization of inner processes, so in a way, our ‘patterns’ are being enacted in the outer world through them. What I learn from these experiences can be invaluable from the standpoint of personal healing and transmutation. I don’t have to repeat the pattern, or suffer needlessly, when I understand the source of the pattern and seek healing for the cause. Also, every challenging transit is balanced in each of our charts by a easy transit, so we don’t feel the full effects of any challenge without an ally, so to speak.  By the way, as you may have gathered, transits affect societies, nations, movements, stock markets and virtually anything you can imagine-on Planet Earth. If you travel beyond our Solar System, these influences are not the same. Also, the way we are influenced is through subtle energy fields, electro-magnetism, and the radio wave emanations from the planets and stars themselves. Somehow, we’re all connected.

The Moon Cycles and Current Transits – October 2011


The Harvest Moon arrives October 12th at 2:06am UT/GMT (3:06am BST) and is at 18 degrees, 24 minutes of Aries. Aries key phrase is “I Am”, is ruled by Mars, its glyph is the Ram, and it is the sign of the warrior. This Full Moon is also opposing Saturn at 19 degrees of Libra, and as Saturn is a constraining influence, it may be activating any hidden stuff we me have about our relationships feeling restricted, or life a partner might be too controlling or domineering. Since the Moon is in Aries, tempers might flare! Likewise, this combination may present itself as volatility between antagonists on the international stage. Reactions to external control (Saturn-Pluto) may not be soft and fluffy! 

Many folks may remember that this same Full Moon period, Oct 11th & 12th, is supposedly another high risk window as regards Comet Elenin. Since the last alignment of Elenin between the Earth and Sun on Sept.25th-29th passed without another major earthquake, then perhaps the danger has passed. Or, it’s a red herring. The next alignment is around Oct.26th, close to Carl Calleman’s predicted end of the Mayan Calendar and the 9th Wave. This one is when Comet Elenin is to pass across Earth’s orbit ahead of us, and then we’re supposed to pass through the tail of the comet around November 11th. Hmmm…

So, the New Moon falls on October 26th (coincidence?), and it is a powerful one, at 3 degrees Scorpio. Scorpionic energy is compelling, deep, emotional and sometimes a bit strange and sexy. With Halloween/All Souls Day so close, the mix is especially potent as the veils are quite thin. The other ingredient is that Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus (retrograde) are now in a perfect trine. If there are any Earth changes or climatic disturbances around this time, this is where I feel the trigger may come from. Jupiter in an Earth sign expands earth-oriented activities and energies, so Samhain festivals are going to be quite potent. On the other hand, Pluto in Cap is a contracting and transformative force, so it might get expressed through the Jupiter flow as a movement of earth or water, bodies and emotions. The Sun and Moon are opposing Jupiter as well, so this amplifies the energies too. In any case, the spooky factor of Scorpio (mystical dances with the dead, death and sexual overtones) are quite enhanced at this time.  Practising Tantric sexual techniques whilst bobbing for apples anyone? Okay, candied apples then.

With November coming on, some folks are quite interested in the date 11-11-11. Interestingly enough, from a pure numerological perspective, the real 11-11-11 should have been observed in 2009 (2+0+0+9 = 11). Instead, everyone’s got their eye on this one because the last two digits of the year are 11. Did you know that the first one was in 1991 (that equals 20, doesn’t it?), so even though this is the 20th anniversary, I’d have to wonder if we’re just getting a bit to flustered about it all being another portal opportunity. Does the date make the meaning, or do we make the meaning? Well, astrologically, this date has very little to recommend it. It may be the astro-equivalent of a damp squib, but that’s just take on it. Have fun with it, and continue with your planned meditations and ceremonies.

Well, that’s all for now, and I’ll be watching the signs in the sky for more indicators and portents, and useful tips for navigating the changes we’re creating.

Autumn Walk

Pure Divine Love Newsletter
September 9th, 2011

Volume 14 Issue 7

Welcome to another edition of the PDL Newsletter.

Just as suspected, August was a bumpy ride, and September and October look even more interesting. However, this is exactly what we came here for at this time...to be here to manifest our divinity, to be the system busters, healers, transformers, teachers and helpers that are required to midwife the Planet out of it's collective dream, and into a place of sanity and peace. Hey, what a party!

New Column!

Star Wisdom Update

Sept.9th, 2011

“If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going.” - Professor Irwin Corey

We’ve just had a helluva August, and the September-October-November quarter is just chock-o-block full of activators and troublemakers. Of course, trouble is in the eye of the beholder, and from my perspective the only trouble you’ll have is catching your breath.  You’re born, and then you die, and in-between is maintenance [“Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates”-Tom Robbins]. So, maintaining one’s equilibrium and sense of humour and curiosity is of paramount importance on the road ahead.

First up to bat is the Pisces Full Moon on Monday, September 12th. Keyword here is emotions. With the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 this coming weekend, emotions could be running amok, whether in renewed grieving, anger, frustration or across-the-board catharsis. The Sun is in Virgo and the 19th degree of this axis is quite potent. Virgo, virgins, vestal virgins, service and healing are all the themes in play here, and the Piscean Moon may activate memories and old wounds, especially childhood ones, or those relating to women.  Mars is in a loose trine to the Moon, and since it’s in Cancer, the men are likely to be swept up in their emotions as well. There is a Grand Trine in place here too, with Jupiter, Mercury and Pluto anchoring the corners. This combination is all in earth signs, and even though Pluto in Capricorn is retrograde, it feels like this is an auspicious arrangement for the fall harvests, cooking and sharing meals and recipes with one another, and fixing up the home to prepare for autumn and the upcoming winter months. Preparedness is in the air, and I especially recommend that you look to laying in emergency stores, some gadgets and gizmos (wind-up flashlights and the like), and back-up emergency plans…just in case.  Be like a smart squirrel, and put away for contingencies.

The New Moon is next on Tuesday, September 27th, and it rings in at 4 degrees of Libra. This one is a bit more potent. Although Pluto and Uranus were still in a stressful square to each other on the 12th, and both still retrograde, their collective power will be a bit more noticeable during this period for two reasons: Pluto goes direct on the 16th, and the Sun-Moon conjunction at New Moon is exactly squared by Pluto and opposed by Uranus. Crunchy!  Intentions would be best oriented towards examining one’s current relationships in light of sustainability and practicality. This means, are the relationships enhancing your beingness, lovingness, freedom and creativity, or not? Pluto will want to maintain status quo. Uranus will want to throw out the bath water, but maybe not the baby. Restructuring relationships towards the transpersonal, and setting new boundaries and making new agreements are called for.

Good ol’ Comet Elenin, the harbinger that everyone is talking about, is supposed to make its near Earth orbit debut on the 25th-26th of September, just before the New Moon. If there is another major earthquake tied to the alignment of Earth, Elenin and the Sun, then I would point to the mid-Pacific, the center of the Ring of Fire, for some kind of shakin’ going on. Uranus on the Midheaven crossed by Pluto on the descendent might be the zero point to be affected. However, since the Ring of Fire stretches around the entire Pacific Basin, any earthquake within this zone qualifies.  Watch, wait and prepare as you see fit is the best plan.

Well, that’s the short of it for now.  I’ll post an analysis of October’s opportunities and trends closer to the end of the month.

August 15th, 2001

Greetings of peace,

After the events unfolded in Norway a week ago, I have been looking inwardly at my own sense and sensibilities. All through the middle of last week I felt a palpable emotional pressure building in me, and feeling of something working towards a crescendo. This was both a familiar and unfamiliar sensation. I didn’t recognize the familiar bit till Saturday afternoon, the day after the violent and tragic events in Norway occurred, and it was all over media. The unfamiliar part was my attempt to discern what I felt was ‘wrong’ with me in the days before the shootings. I was experiencing exhaustion and lethargy, disorientation, mild depression, crankiness, and a general sense of ‘impendingness’.  What was going on with me?  I consulted my chart and transits, I looked outwardly at my present circumstances, searching for the location of the fear and discomfort.  I had not felt this weird in ages.

When I awoke on Saturday morning, I felt like the balloon had popped, or the weight had lifted. The morning felt easy, open and airy. I didn’t turn on the computer and see the headlines till after breakfast, and then sat there a bit stunned as I took in what had happened.  As my heart opened, I remembered how I’d felt all week, and as the day progressed, I also remembered the powerful experiences I had just prior to the event now known as ‘9/11’. I had been on a retreat at the time, and was staying at a place that was ‘off the grid’ on the slopes of Mt.Shasta, California. In the early morning hours on Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, I was awakened…I seem to remember 3am. As I lay there wondering why I was awake, I could feel that my cheeks were damp. Apparently I had been crying in my sleep. I got up both mornings, and made my way to the yurt to use the bathroom and try to understand why I’d been crying. When I woke the second morning, Monday, I felt the need for some inspiration and insight. I discovered a small bookcase behind the toilet…bathroom library I suppose, and one book in particular called to me. Its title was “Silence of the Heart- Reflections of the Christ Mind” by Paul Ferrini.  As I thumbed through it, reading bits and pieces, I felt a deep comfort replace the unsettledness in my chest and belly. Gradually, uncertainty gave way to peace and tranquillity. I no longer felt any concern of what I was experiencing earlier, or what it might mean. 

When the phone rang at 7:30am PST on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, and my partner Faith was relaying to me the events as described over the phone to her from her friend Kevin in Virginia, I knew then what the tears in Mt.Shasta had meant. I knew what finding the book was for, and I knew that was unfolding was all about. As the shockwaves spread through the collective planetary awareness, I felt impeccably calm and certain. Of what I was certain of was indescribable. It was like I had been shown the truth behind the curtain, and it didn’t frighten or concern me at all. Although great grief and great outrage boiled throughout the American psyche, and although I saw how this was milked and manipulated for all it was worth, I still felt calm and certain. Indescribable, like I said.

Ten years later, the shockwaves only seem to be gathering in intensity. Lots of little 9/11’s happen every day, every week. Every so often a larger shock goes off, like the staccato strike of tympani in an orchestra. The pressure keeps building in the pipeline, and I watch with a mixture of curiosity and incredulity at how friends and strangers deal with it. The shockwaves are not confined to the events of the larger world, but are the world, solar system and galaxy itself. More earthquakes and volcanoes are happening than at any other time in modern record-keeping, and it grows exponentially. There are signs and wonders everywhere in evidence. Miracles and misery, side-by-side, and we keep on going, keep on hoping.  However, hoping is a symptom of dissatisfaction with the present moment, and depends on ‘it’ll be better in the future, once everything is fixed just the way I want it to look’, or something like that. Who or what is going to fix it; Ascended Masters, Messiahs and Space people? That’s just more giving of your power away to external authorities. That is a false salvation.

Since my last birthday, at the end of June, I have been going through an initiation of sorts. Some of what got laid aside during the past seven years has come back to me renewed and refreshed. The inner dialogue is reawakening with a new strength and clarity.  The astrologer in me wants to credit the transits of Pluto and Uranus, but I feel that attributing it to Spirit is more accurate.  Now I feel a new commitment to finding and arriving into my ‘being’ self, rather than playing the seeking game any longer.  For almost a week now, during my dreamtime and in the early morning hours when half-awake, I was hearing the voice of the Master Yeshua (the Christ), gently talking. In dreams it was as if I was just one person in a small group sitting around a grove, while He spoke about many things. These ‘conversations’ have formed the basis of the transmission in this Newsletter, “Radical Faith”.

Now we’re only a month and a few days away from the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, and so much has changed.  Whatever happens next and no matter where we are on this planet, we will all experience it together.  Strength in numbers ya know! 

I am beginning the process of letting go of the many philosophies and positions I’ve acquired in the course of 50-odd years, and along with that quite a few books, old paraphernalia and recording of readings, and some real old dead-weight baggage.  We gotta travel Light these days!  Less will be more, and the last shall be first, etc., etc.

Cultivating beginner’s mind, and embracing an attitude of ‘I don’t know’ is part of my current meditations. Solitude is important as well, and although I am part of a partnership, I have come to see that relationships are a tool for our consciousness to either wake up (and stay awake) or go back to sleep again. It is necessary to take ourselves up to the mountain (or woods, or sea, or closet) and hook up with our mojo. Otherwise, we end up feeling diffused and confused.

This August-September will be very interesting. Watch for the next edition of Pure Divine Love soon…it won’t be long!

Peace,
Isaac

“What is Truth?”
by Isaac George
New Moon in Aquarius
February 3rd, 2011

Things are strange. As the year began, the acceleration has been quite noticeable, due to every planet in the Solar System being in direct motion for the first time in almost 800 years…or so the story goes. I’ve travelled to Berlin, Germany for the first time in my life, and just loved it. To stand where The Wall once stood (and where Roger Waters performed it!) was quite a profound moment. The area around Berlin has loads of green spaces, waterways and lakes, and is considered the greenest metropolitan area in Europe. Hard to imagine that 55 years earlier, Berlin was a smouldering ruin. Things…are strange. They may get a whole lot stranger real soon.

Follow the White Rabbit

Just after the first of the year I got an impulse to research some things about my path and my purpose, and was guided to a couple of books. First, towards the end of 2010 we discovered an excellent fictional fantasy in two parts by Clive Barker entitled “Abarat” This book seemed to open something inside of me about the nature of dreams and perception. Then on the day of Epiphany, a strictly non-fictional research work beckoned to me - “The Stargate Conspiracy” [1] by Clive Prince and Lynn Picknett. I’d read this book about two years earlier, and had come away from it with mixed feelings. As I started the book this time, I began to recognize this was another ‘connecting the dots’ journey, and where before I just saw through a glass darkly, now the light of wisdom was beginning to stream through. I’ll come back to this a bit later.

For about the last three and a half to four years I have been shedding some of my assumptions (and illusions) about my previous spiritual experiences and belief systems, always seeking more clarity and understanding. Some of this search has centered on my experience of channelling, what are angels, and the nature of the visions and altered states of consciousness that I’ve encountered. Some of my other investigations focused on gurus, cults, and the nature of consciousness itself, especially in the field of quantum physics. At times I feel like Neo in the first Matrix movie…following the White Rabbit down the hole, and not knowing where I'm going to end up.

When I was back in Sedona in 1998, and the gift of channelling first manifested, I slowly became aware of all the other channelled information that was ‘out there’, whether in print in the form of books, or as individual ‘posts’ that had just begun to appear in greater numbers on the Internet. I avidly read almost everything, including some of the books that had been kicking around for quite some time that seems to form the backbone of the New Age philosophy and cosmology. I dove into the rabbit hole and didn’t surface for quite some time. However, when I did, it was because I was shocked to discover that not all the dots were connected. In quite a few books I read, internal inconsistencies kept cropping up. What was even more confusing is that there seemed to be an tolerance level of enormous proportions regarding comparative data from different sources that sometimes seem to conflict with one other. When I applied the Sesame Street test to some of the information, I was surprised that “this thing is not like the other, these two things are not the same.”  What was going on here?

This paradox was most apparent where it concerned information about angelic or spiritual hierarchies, or the true Divine Plan for Earth and humanity, and the nature of Golden Age or apocalyptic prophecies, which included the timing of ascension ‘portals’ and ‘stargates’.  Many times I sat down to tune into this or that momentous time prognosticated by this or that ascended master or some E.T. source, only to feel that not much happened at all afterwards. Days, weeks or even months later, post-portal depression would nag at my heels. Why did I get all jazzed up for this, only to feel that I was let down yet again? Why did some people seem to ‘get it’, when I wasn’t? Even more puzzling was why did the external world only seem to be getting more and more reactive and chaotic? Was this because of these ‘energy downloads’ and activations, or in spite of them? 

I stopped looking for dots to connect, or stargates to jump through, and just followed my Spirit for the next five years. All went mostly well, until I had a close encounter with some Spinner dolphins in Hawaii just after the Harmonic Concordance of Nov. 2003. Some sort of shamanic opening happened in their presence, and I came out of it feeling like I didn’t belong in normal human society anymore. In fact, the work and mission I had been on for six and half years felt empty and meaningless now. What to do, I wondered?  I alternated between incredibly expansive states of awareness and peace, and periods of intense anger and depression. I was unhinged and unstable.

After my return to the mainland, and after getting some perspective on what I’d experienced, I realized that what the dolphin consciousness had done was to give me a huge dose of what it felt like to be at ‘home’ in the biggest sense of the word. Their consciousness structure is completely shamanic, as they are accessing other realities in every moment. The one I experienced with one of those dolphins that was in front of me, vertical in the water, was the one we most closely associate with unity consciousness or union with all that is. This kind of interface is challenging for the mind, and you feel deconstructed. The same thing happens with shamans who ingest ayahuasca for the first time and experience themselves as dismembered and then re-assembled. This process is described in the Egyptian lore of Osiris, who was killed and dismembered by Set, and then his consort Isis reclaimed and re-unified him. These allegories are to be found in most shamanic and ancient traditions.

As a result of this encounter, I needed a break. I had met my future partner Lynn the week prior to the above dolphin encounter in 2003, and we were married after I moved to Scotland in the autumn of 2004. These least seven years living abroad have been about integrating and merging with what I encountered in Hawaii, and also all of my life’s experiences years prior, from 1994 and 2004. Now I am poised on the verge of another hill of the roller-coaster, and I am having one “ah-ha!” after another.

Trojan Horses

Re-reading anything, whether it is a work of fiction or non-fiction, will usually reveal something new in its pages. Not because someone came in while you weren’t looking and altered the text, but because we are not the same people we were when we first picked up the book. Layers either reveal themselves, or certain concepts, words or phrases ‘trigger’ or evoke new internal connections, awakening something inside that seems to say, ‘Wow, I didn’t see that before.” Once recognized these insights form an internal ‘matching’ process, which occurs much faster than we can consciously think, and our subconscious slots the new information in alongside all related memories.

I want to propose something to you, something that may not feel comfortable at first, but which might actually cause some type of shift in consciousness that will be of benefit; what if there is a great deal of what we assume to be true about the origins of the current beliefs is, in fact, a ruse? A heretical thought, to be sure, as much of what we have been exposed to for the past 30 odd years has a strong ring of truth in it. Indeed, as I have discovered, some great truth often has flaws in it, just as some false teachings contain a grain of truth in them. I would like to assure you that I am not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater.  What I am speaking of here is the possibility that some of the spiritual teachings that underpin New Age belief have been co-opted and manipulated to serve specific agendas. In some cases, the beliefs themselves are artificially created to have a particular psychological response.

I’d like to invite you to suspend your conclusions for awhile, until I’ve finished sharing my experience of this with you. I do not like discovering, as someone once said, that ‘everything I know is wrong’, but sometimes it is necessary for that to happen in order that a greater liberation may be realized. Our egos are so sensitive to change, and to anything that busts our systems of significance, no matter how sacred they may appear to be. In short, only a closed mind can be certain, so I am trying to choose beginners mind instead, and need to remember that truth can only be realized, not dictated.

The authors of the “Stargate Conspiracy” (not its original title) originally began the book as part of a research project to investigate the various theories of the new Egyptian studies that contradicted the accepted view of established Egyptologists. Specifically, these inquiries were to study the new ‘orthodoxy’ regarding the Egyptian mysteries of the Great Pyramid and The Sphinx. Was the ‘New Age’ version of the significance of these edifices valid? Let’s go find that Chamber of Records that Edgar Cayce mentioned! What about the Face on Mars, and those enormous pyramids miles across? A worthy study to be sure! They hoped to answer a lot of the questions, and debunk the classically entrenched versions surrounding these enigmatic monuments on the plain of Giza. Something went wrong (or right) however. As the authors kept digging what started to emerge was a bigger picture that became a calling to go even deeper into the rabbit hole.

I obviously cannot go into any great detail in this newsletter to further explain the information and results that the authors of “The Stargate Conspiracy” uncovered. Suffice it to say that is up to you to acquire and read this book, if you feel drawn to do so. The authors themselves admit to having fallen into a certain obsession about the story as they followed the White Rabbit, but, in the end, a remarkable job of dot connecting is the reward. The book reminded me that I was always frustrated by the lack of verifiable agreement between various views of spirituality, metaphysics and esoteric knowledge. This was especially the case with channeled material, whether contemporary or historic.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties I delved into Tibetan Buddhism, White Witchcraft, Theosophy, the Rosicrucians, Eckankar, esoteric Christianity and the Kabala, and finally the Edgar Cayce material. I had discovered a hot trail, and was hungry for any information that challenged orthodox views of reality and spirituality. By my mid-twenties I was burned out, living in Virginia Beach, VA., and haunting the Cayce library and pouring through the Life Readings, I was determined to find the ‘Truth” about myself, and the mystery of Life, Earth, and the Cosmos. When I couldn’t square all this information with everything I had read before it, I was stuck. When I could no longer find a resonance with my own personal spiritual experiences, I withdrew.  I met a lovely girl from Oregon, eloped, moved to Oregon, and entered a new life in the world of hotel management and business. The past, and its contradictions, faded from view. I was now a ‘suit’, living in corporate America.

After the kundalini awakening began in January 1994, it was as if all the spiritual teachers, guides and angels that I had been introduced to twenty years earlier had broken out of the starting gate and were all around me again. More accurately, they were inside of me. This was a new level of inter-conscious communication and multi-dimensional awareness. I was lead into another new round of books and information and I greedily devoured anything that fell at my feet, which sometimes happened literally.

By the time I arrived in Sedona in March of 1998, I had left my former life behind (or, did it leave me?), and was embarking on my new spiritual ‘job’. The opening to channel bit didn’t seriously begin until late July, but I knew it had been there, waiting for the perfect moment, since the spring of 1997. When the floodgates opened in that first public event, I had no idea that this would personally lead me into a series of conflicts in trying to understand this phenomena, while at the same time deepening my commitment to be as clear of internal clutter as I could be so that the information pouring through me would be as untainted as possible. I fasted, I cleansed, I prayed, I hoped. Mostly I hoped that I wasn’t being played for a fool, and that no one else within earshot would be fooled either. Actually, I discovered I had been afraid for nothing. What I encountered while in Sedona did cause me discomfort though.

Some of the books that friends loaned to me, recommended for their powerful wisdom, and because everyone else had read them already, were full of inconsistencies and contradictions. These were too numerous to mention, and I will not name names. I was already sensitive about channelling, and whether or not Archangel Ariel was one of the ‘good guys’ or part of the other side. Sometimes I’d run across something about Ariel (usually in a book about angels that was based on dusty old Sumerian, Jewish or medieval Christianity) that would be less than complimentary or, at the very least, questionable. Usually, this sort of controversy would be laid to rest for me when I would witness someone who actually was helped by the information that came through, or by some phenomena that occasionally accompanied public events. I was always overly sensitive to the old Biblical adjunct that Satan could disguise himself as an angel of light, and perform miracles to wow the crowd. Being a channel is sometimes not an easy career.

My path has always been about the following: What is truth? Who am I? And why am I here? I’m sure you that you have asked yourself something like this before. My path has been very much concerned with others, and helping out wherever and however I can. For this reason I feel that now is the time to write more about my experiences, and what I have learned from them. It is the only truth I can attest to.

One of the most important things that I have noticed over the past sixteen years is that I have encountered more than a handful of souls who have experienced difficulty and suffering because of their beliefs, or more accurately, the beliefs that they acquired from outside of themselves. I continued to see the conflicts in the information from this or that channeled material, and wondered if anyone else saw the problem with this?

Sometimes I’d have clients who already had dug themselves a hole with credit cards because they were trying to learn the “laws of attraction, faith and abundance” by spending ‘affluently’ until they found that they had to live off of the cards just to survive. The disillusionment that this kind of experience produces can be quite damaging.  I’ve seen abusive and toxic relationships develop because the participants were convinced of their divine contracts and mission together. In some cases this ended with both parties experiencing heartbreak. In some cases it ended in a more painful way. Finally, there are the scandals that break within a community of ‘followers’ that reveals some seedy behaviour or facts about the teacher, guru, or leader, which inevitably leads to many entering a huge re-evaluation about their ability to discern for themselves. This may sound like I’m focusing on the ‘negative’ about the New Age. Actually, I feel that it is a positive to relate to both sides of any story without the labels. That way we can all learn from our experiences and our projections. Discernment leads to freedom.

For as long as I can remember I’ve wondered about the pronouncements coming through the Internet about some kind of ‘stargate’ or portal opportunity that changes the game on Planet Earth, or some kind of revelation about E.T.’s coming to light, or even mass landings, only to have the event or promised revelation date come and go without nary a ripple. Then, just like any government official or skilled politician would do, the non-event is spun and carefully explained away, along with a promise of future manifestations. These experiences are, in a sense, part of the awakening process itself, the separation of the wheat from the chaff, and cannot be condemned nor judged in a wholesale manner. We are all waking up from our personal and collective sleepwalking, projections and wishful thinking.

Who’s pulling the Strings?

In an era of increasing chaos, along with increasing governmental intrusion and controls infringing on civil liberties, unchecked consumerism and environmental damage, and corporate and financial malfeasance that is rewarded rather than reigned in, it seems to me that it is essential to question all of what we believe. Nothing should escape our scrutiny, for if we ignore anything, we do so at our own peril. If we have blind spots, then as every driver of a car knows there is usually some vital information in the blind spot that could affect us, and we need to see it before anything happens so that we can change course.

The “The Stargate Conspiracy” also documents the intense interest and direct involvement of numerous security and spy agencies in the New Age movement, such as the Pentagon, NSA, MI6, and the CIA in creating a particular set of beliefs for mass consumption. These agencies have infiltrated and inserted some misinformation and disinformation into the dialogue of awakening, for reasons not yet fully understood. Some policy papers from the early 1970’s mentioned in the book have alluded to the concern that a spiritually-awakened part of the population would be destabilizing to the status quo of the world’s economic and political structures. Apparently the best way to neutralize any threat is to infiltrate it. Of course there aren’t CIA or NSA spooks lurking around at every channelled event, or ghost-writing books about E.T.’s or angels. However, I have had encounters with individuals at some of the events I’ve facilitated who have revealed themselves as being from the U.S. military or intelligence establishments. At the time, I was quite taken aback and baffled by such encounters. I’ve kept this to myself until now, but feel it now has relevance. One must wonder what interest my channelling work would have for a field agent of the U.S. Department of Defense. One New Age teacher I know of has regularly mentioned encounters with agents and even has had meetings with officials of the U.S. defense establishment, so this is not a new phenomenon.

Can Trojan horses be created and be used to steer any group of individuals towards a desired outcome, whether that group be political, economic, or spiritual? If so, who’s pulling the strings, and why? An example of how we tend to accept ‘truth’ may be observed in the Photoshop phenomena, where intelligence agencies and media organizations have been outed for digitally doctoring photographs and videos in order to convey a particular message or effect. All is not as it appears to be. Even as the veil thins between this realm and nearby dimensions at the end of the great cycle, the boundary between 3D reality and virtual reality also blurs. This is an effect of Neptune transiting in Aquarius for the past decade or so, and I suspect our grip on what is ‘real’ will become even more nebulous when Neptune enters the sign of it’s rulership, Pisces, in April of 2011.

Part of the ‘conspiracy’ these authors unearthed entails using the metaphors of the pyramids, ET’s and other icons of the New Age to further another system of control. Like Neo in The Matrix, we are confronted with the scenario of ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same.’ If there is to be any lasting change, we will have to recognize and dismantle all forms of systemic control and power. My overall concern with the implications made in “The Stargate Conspiracy” is that we may have become complacent, and hold attitudes that there is nothing that we are obliged to actually do in the material world in order to contribute to the awakening that is unfolding anyway. The ET’s are landing, or the Hall of Records will change humanity, or this or that avatar or Messiah will do it. Jesus warned us about many who will come at the end of the age proclaiming where the ‘Christ’ is. Will we heed that warning?  Fortunately, Uranus entering Aries will be the clarion call for full individuation. It is time for us to be who we are…fully.

We are not infallible or immune…yet. The only solution is to know ourselves, to keep clearing ourselves of our stories, myths and others’ beliefs, and to direct our quest for truth deeply inside. No one ‘out there’ has a monopoly on the truth, nor do ‘they’ possess all the answers for what happens next or, for that matter, in 2012. It is useful to check our sources. Ask for their I.D…test the spirits, and connect the dots in your own way and in your own timing. We all have an inner intelligence that is creating, guiding and mentoring each and every one of us continuously. It’s called Spirit…the still, small voice that is sometimes drowned out by our mental noise.

My recent foray into shamanism and the secrets of DNA (more on that next issue) has reminded me that if we sever ourselves from the innate ‘Presence’ within us, we do so at our own risk. We are not alone, and we do not have to do it all by ourselves. The teacher is within you, and there is no substitute truth for the truth of your individual experience. “Ye shall know the truth, and it shall set you free”, Jesus said. Pilate, the symbol of temporal power responded with “what is truth?”

Keep the faith. Be the truth. Follow your white rabbit.

Peace,
Isaac

[1]  Back cover synopsis: “The Stargate Conspiracy reveals the existence of an extraordinary, long-term scheme to harness many of the most exciting and radical ideas of the late twentieth century, and centers on the belief that the ancient Egyptian gods were real extra-terrestrial beings – and that they’re about return to usher in a new age. Tracing the intricate network of intelligence operations, leading politicians, cutting-edge scientists, certain “New Egyptologists”, New Age cults and would-be Messiahs back to its roots, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince reveal a shocking political subtext behind the conspiracy. The sugar-coating of exciting ideas about returning ancient gods is designed to conceal a bitter pill indeed – which, in all innocence, millions seem happy to swallow.”

August 2011

Greetings of peace,

After the events unfolded in Norway a week ago, I have been looking inwardly at my own sense and sensibilities. All through the middle of last week I felt a palpable emotional pressure building in me, and feeling of something working towards a crescendo. This was both a familiar and unfamiliar sensation. I didn’t recognize the familiar bit till Saturday afternoon, the day after the violent and tragic events in Norway occurred, and it was all over media. The unfamiliar part was my attempt to discern what I felt was ‘wrong’ with me in the days before the shootings. I was experiencing exhaustion and lethargy, disorientation, mild depression, crankiness, and a general sense of ‘impendingness’.  What was going on with me?  I consulted my chart and transits, I looked outwardly at my present circumstances, searching for the location of the fear and discomfort.  I had not felt this weird in ages.

When I awoke on Saturday morning, I felt like the balloon had popped, or the weight had lifted. The morning felt easy, open and airy. I didn’t turn on the computer and see the headlines till after breakfast, and then sat there a bit stunned as I took in what had happened.  As my heart opened, I remembered how I’d felt all week, and as the day progressed, I also remembered the powerful experiences I had just prior to the event now known as ‘9/11’. I had been on a retreat at the time, and was staying at a place that was ‘off the grid’ on the slopes of Mt.Shasta, California. In the early morning hours on Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, I was awakened…I seem to remember 3am. As I lay there wondering why I was awake, I could feel that my cheeks were damp. Apparently I had been crying in my sleep. I got up both mornings, and made my way to the yurt to use the bathroom and try to understand why I’d been crying. When I woke the second morning, Monday, I felt the need for some inspiration and insight. I discovered a small bookcase behind the toilet…bathroom library I suppose, and one book in particular called to me. Its title was “Silence of the Heart- Reflections of the Christ Mind” by Paul Ferrini.  As I thumbed through it, reading bits and pieces, I felt a deep comfort replace the unsettledness in my chest and belly. Gradually, uncertainty gave way to peace and tranquillity. I no longer felt any concern of what I was experiencing earlier, or what it might mean. 

When the phone rang at 7:30am PST on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, and my partner Faith was relaying to me the events as described over the phone to her from her friend Kevin in Virginia, I knew then what the tears in Mt.Shasta had meant. I knew what finding the book was for, and I knew that was unfolding was all about. As the shockwaves spread through the collective planetary awareness, I felt impeccably calm and certain. Of what I was certain of was indescribable. It was like I had been shown the truth behind the curtain, and it didn’t frighten or concern me at all. Although great grief and great outrage boiled throughout the American psyche, and although I saw how this was milked and manipulated for all it was worth, I still felt calm and certain. Indescribable, like I said.

Ten years later, the shockwaves only seem to be gathering in intensity. Lots of little 9/11’s happen every day, every week. Every so often a larger shock goes off, like the staccato strike of tympani in an orchestra. The pressure keeps building in the pipeline, and I watch with a mixture of curiosity and incredulity at how friends and strangers deal with it. The shockwaves are not confined to the events of the larger world, but are the world, solar system and galaxy itself. More earthquakes and volcanoes are happening than at any other time in modern record-keeping, and it grows exponentially. There are signs and wonders everywhere in evidence. Miracles and misery, side-by-side, and we keep on going, keep on hoping.  However, hoping is a symptom of dissatisfaction with the present moment, and depends on ‘it’ll be better in the future, once everything is fixed just the way I want it to look’, or something like that. Who or what is going to fix it; Ascended Masters, Messiahs and Space people? That’s just more giving of your power away to external authorities. That is a false salvation.

Since my last birthday, at the end of June, I have been going through an initiation of sorts. Some of what got laid aside during the past seven years has come back to me renewed and refreshed. The inner dialogue is reawakening with a new strength and clarity.  The astrologer in me wants to credit the transits of Pluto and Uranus, but I feel that attributing it to Spirit is more accurate.  Now I feel a new commitment to finding and arriving into my ‘being’ self, rather than playing the seeking game any longer.  For almost a week now, during my dreamtime and in the early morning hours when half-awake, I was hearing the voice of the Master Yeshua (the Christ), gently talking. In dreams it was as if I was just one person in a small group sitting around a grove, while He spoke about many things. These ‘conversations’ have formed the basis of the transmission in this Newsletter, “Radical Faith”.

Now we’re only a month and a few days away from the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, and so much has changed.  Whatever happens next and no matter where we are on this planet, we will all experience it together.  Strength in numbers ya know! 

I am beginning the process of letting go of the many philosophies and positions I’ve acquired in the course of 50-odd years, and along with that quite a few books, old paraphernalia and recording of readings, and some real old dead-weight baggage.  We gotta travel Light these days!  Less will be more, and the last shall be first, etc., etc.

Cultivating beginner’s mind, and embracing an attitude of ‘I don’t know’ is part of my current meditations. Solitude is important as well, and although I am part of a partnership, I have come to see that relationships are a tool for our consciousness to either wake up (and stay awake) or go back to sleep again. It is necessary to take ourselves up to the mountain (or woods, or sea, or closet) and hook up with our mojo. Otherwise, we end up feeling diffused and confused.

This August-September will be very interesting. Watch for the next edition of Pure Divine Love soon…it won’t be long!

Peace,
Isaac
