Dear Ones:

Many blessings of courage, strength and personal resolve to each of you as you seek to negotiate these interesting times on the Earth. Know that each of you is dear and precious to those of us on this plane who seek to aid you at this time. Some of you are beginning to get the idea that it is time for a new concept in planetary citizenship, for indeed, such is the need at this moment. It is good to recognize that the Earth needs you at this time of transition, and that you have a part in Her healing and wholing. Congratulations on your desire to facilitate both Earth and others, for such is the kind of commitment so needed these days!

If you look around you in your own communities, you will see that there is much suffering among the masses because of fear and egoic projections. Many are terrified of contracting anthrax, or small pox or even plague. While clearly there are incidents happening that encourage fear, it is important for each one of you to answer collective fear patterns with personal serenity and egoic restraint. To give over to this wave of fear demonstrates a willingness to let ego run it's own little scenario, which takes you out of the collective and into the personal.

Likewise, it is not appropriate for you to simply go into a state of denial and either pretend there is nothing going on, or in some other way become insensitive to the suffering others feel when in touch with their own fear. That also takes you out of the collective and into the personal. One of the things you can easily recognize when events involve the whole planet is that your calling is to "go collective" rather than to "go personal." What I mean here is that you can "take a cue" from the events around you. It is for just such reasons that I have encouraged you to do the invocation of Truth with regard to all those in leadership positions at this time.

Clearly, what is happening today is an initiatory process for the Earth. Yes, it is also a cleansing, for those of you who prefer that word, but we must be very careful here. As you can observe from history, there have always been those who hold a "cleansing" to be getting rid of a certain group of people. Such is not the kind of cleansing that is now seeking birth. The cleansing about which I am speaking is one that will clear away the very energy of the other type of "cleansing." Obviously, this is a collective experience. And when the collective experience is as all encompassing as is this one, you cannot avoid it by attempting to dive inward into your own personal realm. To do so invites a kind of playing-out of world events in your own internal reaches.

If you "don't relate" much to the suffering or starvation that goes on in other areas of the world, you invite it to come a little closer to your own experiential realm. If you "don't relate" to areas that are overrun with terrorists, you invite that experience a bit closer, and so forth. The idea here is to come into some real and creatively viable sense of your connection to the whole, not simply add another concept about the whole, or your connection to it. Often, you will note from historical bearing, it seems to take an intense time to bring the big collective lessons into form. That fact is not particularly significant in and of itself, but it is in understanding the level of the "bigness" that instructs you in the relative importance of getting the lesson.

You are living in the times that have spawned numerous prophecies from the mouths of wise ones of previous generations. Many of you have read the predictions of Nostradamus (or some translation of them). They were, you might recall, quite calamitous for the end of the millennium. Others of you have read the predictions of Edgar Casey, which although also quite calamitous, were slated for the initial years right after the millennial shift. If you are interested in doing so, I would encourage you to read them, but do so to understand their perception and insights, and not just as another means of frightening yourselves.

There is a kind of energy that arises with predictions of those who are "seers." Part of that energy comes from the mere gift these individuals had, while part also comes from the influence they held both in their own life span and in the times to follow their deaths. But part of the energy comes from a collective projection of fear, and that's the part you can do something about. Be careful here. I am not advocating that you go into some state of denial and pretend there is no relevance nor value to these predictions. Rather, hold well the possibility that all these things can come forth if humanity remains asleep. Let your own life stand for making the profound commitment to stay awake, knowing that all things are possible, some things are probable, and many things can be transformed. As most of you know, the transformation part takes a goodly amount of work, and the really transformative work is accompanied by the beautiful harmony of joy.

A prediction that some of you may not have heard of comes from Aztec and Mayan legends. It was said that the Seven Sisters constellation would be overhead at midnight on the night that the world comes to an end. Now guess who (or what) was directly overhead at midnight watching from their seven celestial places on October 31, 2001 (for the Northern Hemisphere)! While, indeed, it was a time when many people were frightened, the sun did dawn on November 1. (I thought I would wait until "after the fact" to pass that prediction along.)

Please join me in November in listening to A Time for Reflection, a lecture I did in Denver on October 9th of this year. In this talk, I address many of the questions that have been on people's minds since the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the WTC. I am hopeful that this talk will benefit all of you in some way as you learn to pay attention to those things that cause fear, but choose not to let them run your life. Be aware of how precious Earth is. Pay particular attention to Her beauty and Her bounteous nature. Know that when bombs fall she is irreparably scarred. Find profound compassion for those suffering now where more killing is seen as the way to "right the wrong" of the tragic events of 9/11/01. Send peace and healing to each of the world leaders who now must show what they are made of to the whole world. Walk in peace and harmony with yourself and all others, and be sure to give thanks for the freedoms many of you have never had opportunity to question. Let the light of your good works and the blessed meditations of your hearts be a gift of peace to Earth at this time.

When you do this practice, put aside all other matters in your life, and give your full consciousness to the task at hand. The statement you will say aloud (strongest practice) or think strongly within your own mind in November is, "Let Peace and Healing Prevail!" This practice has 10 steps, but as you will see, they are very simple and direct.

Step 1: Envision President Bush sitting or standing before you, making strong eye contact with you. With every fiber of you body/mind, say firmly to him,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 2: Envision Osama bin Laden sitting or standing before you, making strong eye contact with you. With every fiber of your being, say firmly to him,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 3: Envision before you representatives of the CIA, the FBI, the NSC, etc. (Simply thinking the names or initials of these organizations will work.) As you hold the strong intent to connect, with every fiber of your being, say,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 4: Envision before you Abdul Zareef (Taliban leadership). With strong intent to connect, and with every fiber of your being, say firmly,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 5: Envision before you Yasser Arafat. See him making strong eye contact with you, and with strong intent on your part, say firmly,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 6: Envision before you Ariel Sharon. See him making strong eye contact with you, and with strong intent on your part, say firmly,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 7: Envision before you recognizable reporters and newscasters. Make strong eye contact with each one (either individually or as a group). With strong intent, say,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 8: Envision before you leaders of other nations (e.g., Chiraq of France, Schroeder of Germany, Blair of the UK, Putin of Russia, Mussaraf of Pakistan, Hussein of Iraq, Zareef of the Taliban). With strength and conviction say,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 9: Envision before you the US Congress on your left, the US Senate on your right and governing bodies of other nations behind them. Hold a very strong intent to connect with these governing bodies, firmly repeat with every fiber of your being,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Step 10: Envision or experience before you some representation of your own mind. Simply see yourself, as if looking in a mirror, or just think of connecting in an observing way with your mind, both the thinking and feeling faculties. Holding the strong intent to activate your own direct knowing, say with every fiber of your being,
"Let Peace and Healing Prevail!"

Give thanks for your ability to cut through all illusions, no matter how strong or concrete they seem. Know that as you cut through, you facilitate all other sentient beings in doing the same. Let yourself sit for a couple of minutes in the glow of peace and healing. Know these are attributes of your True Self, and that as such, they stream to you from the Source of All Being.

Breathing gently, let yourself return to your normal waking state and arise from your meditation with hope, cheerfulness, peace and genuine resolve to live your own life as a High Witness to all the activities that unfold before you. Have a deep appreciation for the preciousness of your own life, and commit yourself to living it well. May you walk in blessing, gentleness and the knowledge that your are loved immeasurably!

Your beloved Teacher,
