Beliefs are a large part of our reality. Have you ever felt unworthy of love, success, or happiness? Have you ever wondered why you have repeated negative thought or behavior patterns? 

The interesting thing about some beliefs is that they carry over from one life to the next. This is how family curses and genetic imbalances travel from one generation to another. The good news is there is a way to break the cycle, and I can help. 

In my eyes there are no limits, our potential is infinite, and our destiny is ours to design. Guiding individuals toward embracing their truths, discovering their passions, and living a balanced happy life is what I am here to do. 

Autumn is my favorite time of year; perhaps that is because I was born into a big family, living in a small, upstate New York town, during this fabulous season. I am number six of seven children and ironically, I am now a mother of eight amazingly unique individuals. I love to write, teach, speak, inspire, motivate, and create. For me there are no limits, our potential is infinite, and our destiny is ours to design. Guiding individuals toward embracing their truths, discovering their passions, and living a balanced happy life is what I am here to do. Hello, I am Bernadette Di Gabriele and it is a great pleasure to meet you.

To begin, I grew up in a strict catholic home and realized early on that structured religion was not for me. It was in my mid-teen years that I had the chance to venture out and discover other religious mindsets. In my early twenties, I decided to dedicate myself to Christianity, moved to a small Tennessee town, and became an ordained Spiritual Teacher under the Church of God. During this time, I co-partnered a business heading the departments of Human Resources and Operations, while singing in and co-pastoring at a small church - where my primary focus was relationship enhancement, family services and youth counseling.

Still feeling unsettled about my spiritual beliefs, I began researching deeper into other philosophies and quickly became intrigued by the diversities and similarities I had discovered. I was now in my late twenties, finding myself at a major crossroad. Feeling desperate and trapped in a life of falsities, instability and uncertainty, I stumbled upon a spiritual weekend intensive that impacted my life so significantly that I had no choice but to make effective, necessary changes. I allowed my mind to embrace the idea of universal energies, I opened myself up to accept my gifts and passions, and I embarked on a new journey set to understand and grow what I knew was innate to me.

Through my studies, I have realized that there are very few absolutes, however, those that exist are irrefutable. I particularly enjoy working with one of these rarities, as I find discovering its power and ability invigorating. What is this captivating absolute, you ask? The answer is energy. Being a Usui Reiki Master and Theta Energy Practitioner, I tap into the power of this phenomenon in order to help others restore balance in their lives; ultimately creating happiness.

Casey Anthony during her trial for capital murder in Orlando, Florida.           

George Anthony pondering the prosecution case against his daughter, Casey. 

“Sex Abuse Victim in America:

Prosecuted by the Justice System, Shunned by the Culture”

We All Made Her “The Most Hated Woman in America”

I can’t say why I was attracted to the televised trial of the most hated woman in America in 2011. It may have been because every time I turned on the television or checked my Twitter feed, she was there in front of me. There were 600 media outlets credentialed by the court covering the trial. The Miami Herald, and Washington Post live-streamed courtroom video, in an all-out effort to grab market share away from HLN’s gavel-to-gavel coverage. I have to say, despite multiple apps available, I followed the trial on HLN, led by Nancy Grace. Nancy’s audience totaled the most viewers watching to learn the jury’s decision {5.2 million}. Fox attracted 3 million, CNN had 2.3 million, and MSNBC registered nearly 1 million.

There was a lot of stuff being reported in the media to generate that kind of interest. Casey Anthony’s demeanor during the trial called up photographs that were carried all over the country picturing her having a blast at a nightclub just a few days after witnessing the death of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee. She never reported Caylee’s death, and her own mother eventually had to call police to report Caylee missing. After her arrest, the twenty-two-year-old single mom lied to police about where she worked when her daughter disappeared, and she insisted to investigators that a fictitious nanny kidnapped her deceased daughter. I was among the throng watching coverage of the five-month search for her daughter, while she repeatedly insisted Caylee was alive. I was glued to the TV when news broke that Caylee’s body was discovered just blocks from her home. Jeff Ashton, the assistant prosecutor, seemed to understate the obvious when he said simply, “If a mother doesn’t report the death of her child, she must be guilty.”

By the time her trial started in Orlando, the courtroom had already rivaled nearby Disney World as a tourist destination. The 50 public seats in the courtroom’s balcony were the hottest tickets in town. Visitors literally fought one another for seats to watch what Time magazine had already headlined as the “social media trial of the century.” There were occasional comparisons in the press to another “trial of the century,” the OJ trial, as the only comparable criminal trial in memory to generate as much public interest. Fair to say, it seemed apparent that not one of the millions of trial watchers, myself included, gave any thought to the likelihood of a “not guilty” outcome for Casey Anthony.

Quite literally, all the talk I heard about the trial seemed to believe the outcome was already known. Mid-trial, Time magazine invited readers to visualize her execution: “Virtually no one doubts that Anthony was involved in her child’s death,” then added, “but if you see murder in Casey Anthony’s big brown eyes during a live feed of her trial, you can tell all the world how delectable you will find her execution.” The court of public opinion anticipated a slam dunk guilty decision, followed by an all but certain death penalty for the Tot Mom, Casey Anthony.

The jury of twelve took barely a single day to make their decision. The moment after the verdict was announced, Kim Kardashian squeezed 140 characters into her tweet and spoke for virtually everyone, “What!!!???!!!! Casey Anthony found not guilty!!!! I am speechless!!!”

News of the jury’s inexplicable decision to acquit Casey Anthony was the largest shared virtual experience up to that time, as the nation was transfixed with Twitter feeds and Facebook posts which spread the news instantly. The media post mortems of the case were reflected in public statements issued by the trial judge and prosecutor. Judge Belvin Perry said, “I was surprised, shocked and in disbelief at reading the verdict. There was sufficient evidence to sustain a verdict of murder in the first degree in this case.“ Jeff Ashton, the deflated assistant prosecutor faced the cameras with his team and said, “The acquittal was the work of a jury that didn’t believe Casey deserved any punishment. But they gave a lot of thought and discussion about what movies they wanted to see.”

My investigative journalist’s antennae went up on the first day of the trial. Now with the trial over, I was ready to move on with other important stories that fuel the interest of journalists like me. I did have a lingering question about the trial: “OK, who did the jury think killed Caylee?” I watched an interview with the jury foreman who told a national television audience that the jury had considerable discussions surrounding that very question: If it wasn’t Casey, who was the killer of Caylee? I found it disconcerting that the only alternative person of interest who raised serious suspicions for the jury was George, Casey’s admittedly “bad actor” father.

Her parents were already on a lot of people’s radar screen. For one thing, many found it more than a little odd that George was the state’s chief witness against his daughter, and he testified in a way that seemed to delight in assuring her conviction; it seemed to many he relished a death sentence for his own daughter. Her mother, Cindy Anthony, was also a prosecution witness, and in the opinion of many, she committed perjury on the stand. She and George sat together and watched the trial as partners. It did appear their sentiment for the outcome was the same as the public’s, and the prosecutors. It caught my attention that both parents seemed willing contributors to a likely death sentence for their twenty-something daughter.

I thought, wow, there must be some really bad stuff in their daughter’s background to justify parents’ betrayal of their own flesh and blood. Who killed Caylee Anthony? I couldn’t help myself, this is like, what I do.

I took a deep dive into the trial record from the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Orlando. In a few words, my investigation found that prosecutors had more evidence pointing to Casey’s father, George, than to the single-mom they charged with the murder of two-year-old, Caylee. They also had overwhelming evidence that Casey’s mother, Cindy, misled investigators to avoid raising suspicions about what went on in the Anthony home behind closed doors.

As I moved deeper through the trial record, what I uncovered blew my mind. No one who followed the trial on television or in the press could have expected what I found in the first pass through the record of witness interviews. There were statements to prosecutors from family friends that Casey was sexually abused by her father, George, beginning when she was eight-years-old. Prosecutors were put on notice about conflicts in the family over the paternity of Caylee, and suspicions were directed toward George as Caylee’s father.

There were nine court-appointed forensic psychologists who evaluated the accused murderer of Caylee. Casey told them flat out, “I didn’t kill Caylee.” The record shows those experts shared notes amongst themselves and reached a consensus that the defendant was truthful in her description of George’s role in Caylee’s death. Their MMPI, TSI {trauma symptom inventory} and a myriad of background information from authoritative sources led them to determine that she was a good mother. Their testing excluded any probability of malingering {lying}. One psychologist, Dr. Harry Krop, was asked for his professional opinion by Dr. Drew Pinsky on his national TV show, and the Florida psychologist told Dr. Drew that his professional conclusion was that Casey Anthony wasn’t capable of harming her daughter. Another forensic psychiatrist was deposed by the two lead prosecutors just before trial, who asked him directly if he had any doubts about her believability when Casey Anthony named George as responsible for Caylee’s death, and that it was George who threw her body in woods, just a block or so from his home. The court-appointed forensic psychiatrist answered, “I have no reason to not believe her.”

I myself talked with another lead psychiatrist on background for literally an entire day {he evaluated her for over 100 hours just before the trial}, and his opinion was that all the evidence from his interviews and evaluations pointed toward Casey as a loving and protective mother, the same conclusion as the other forensic psychologists.  Perhaps it is my training from the investigative side of journalism, as opposed to the opinion side, but I was open-minded to the conclusions of the experts that Casey Anthony’s behavior after witnessing her daughter’s death could be more about denial, than guilt. As information from the trial record confirmed that the only other possible suspect in the murder of Caylee was George, it occurred to me that the cumulative evidence prosecutors had was that Casey indeed witnessed Caylee’s murder by her father.  If it was true that George sexually abused Casey for ten years, could the reason for the murder of two-year-old Caylee be George’s fear that Caylee was his child?

Cindy {a pediatric RN} and George both denied their daughter was pregnant when she was in her eighth month and quite conspicuously carrying Caylee. Prosecutors composed a time line that raised suspicions about George as soon as Caylee was born. Fears about who was Caylee’s father seemed to tear the family apart. George stole $40,000 from Cindy’s IRA savings account weeks after his granddaughter’s birth, which he immediately lost in online gambling. He fled the home and filed for divorce from Cindy before Caylee was three months old. He told investigators the reason for his theft and split was because of an “issue” he had with Casey, and he couldn’t deal with it anymore. In other words, his tension from living with Casey and her daughter, Caylee, was so great, he had to flee his marriage of twenty-seven years, and live with his elderly parents. He then attempted suicide. Meanwhile, prosecutors continued to accumulate witness statements that pointed toward their case-in-chief’s lead witness {George} as the killer. One witness prosecutors interviewed told them that George actually confessed that he was responsible for Caylee’s death, and he cried about it. George then lied to investigators about that witness and his gambling.

Bottom line, the trial record of information that prosecutors had was nothing like the evidence they presented at trial, and not even close to the narrative gobbled up in the court of public opinion, which largely not only expected, but early on, demanded that the most hated woman in America be judged guilty and then summarily executed by the state of Florida. Jesus Christ, I ultimately could reach no other conclusion than every bit of information from the trial record supported the jury’s acquittal of Casey and their strong suspicion of George as a pedophile and perpetrator of infanticide.

At this point, I talked to other journalists who followed the trial and found several who were as uncomfortable with the runaway social media narrative of the Casey Anthony trial as I was. Barry Sussman left the Washington Post after supervising Woodward and Bernstein in the Watergate series, and he was now leading Harvard’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism. Barry said to me he thought the coverage of the trial was a media circus, and he invited me to write an article for Nieman’s Media Watchdog about the trial’s coverage. Overnight, my article got the most response in Nieman’s history.

I found Howie Kurtz, who was then at CNN’s Reliable Sources. Kurtz expressed his opinion of the coverage this way: “I refused to join the media frenzy after two-year-old Caylee was killed. The tone of the coverage was Casey Anthony must be guilty.” Jeff Toobin, who covered the OJ Simpson trial, and was now also at CNN, said, “The news media was very unfair to Casey Anthony, it is something we should all discuss.”

Pretty much, as an investigative journalist, what I do is investigate primary source materials, like trial records. In my investigation of news stories, I often wrestle with burdens acquired from an open mind. My operating principle is always to balance the narrative. Sussman, Toobin, Kurtz and myself all saw something in the press narrative of the trial that cried out for a closer look, and a balancing narrative.

Reports of sexual abuse by George in the Anthony family became impossible to ignore. Evidence of a cover up by George’s wife, Cindy, accumulated to the point that she appeared more likely than not to be lying to investigators. I continued to be nagged by the thought that Casey Anthony’s behavior was about denial of her daughter’s murder by an abusive father. Her statements of denial that her daughter was actually dead, and then her made up stories to investigators about what happened, seemed to me more like coping mechanisms, than covering up a crime. Her denial was the only thing she had going for her that allowed her to function after witnessing the murder of her child by her own father, who by the way, abused her horribly.

The most incriminating evidence against the defendant, at the end of the day, narrowed down to her behavior “after” she witnessed Caylee’s murder. Her behavior and those denials were interpreted by everybody as hiding her daughter’s death because she was guilty. The trial record, statements by psychiatrists, and my own extended conversation with one of the court-appointed psychologists, forced me to consider the possibility that Casey’s denial of her daughter’s death came from a different place: denial because witnessing the death of her child was too painful, especially if her daughter’s death was not accidental, but rather an act of unspeakable murder by a father who abused her beginning when she was in the third grade.

In the cable and digital world that I inhabit, news of the Casey Anthony acquittal soon gave way to other criminal news stories. Trayvon Martin in Florida was one, and there were others I worked on. Then one night, I heard a CNN legal analyst, Sunny Hostin, talking with Anderson Cooper about parental abuse and her experience with spouses of child abusers who protect their husbands. She was asked by Anderson about her experience with families where fathers sexually abused their daughters. Sunny recalled the many cases she tried as a federal prosecutor when mothers blamed their children for their husband’s abuse. Jerry Sandusky’s wife, Dottie Sandusky, comes to mind.  Sunny said what Sandusky’s wife did was quite common. “I had people sitting in my office, mothers turning against their own children saying their child-victims were lying. And I’ve got to tell you, when I prosecuted cases, it’s still a very unpopular position, I wanted to go after the mothers because these are witnesses to sex abuse.  They’re enablers. They’re putting their children in danger, and I think they’re partly responsible.” Her statement drew me back to the specter of George and Cindy Anthony cooperating with prosecutors and working together for the same outcome: to wait for the jury to do the inevitable and order the execution of their daughter by the state of Florida, and it seemed to them: the sooner the better.

Investigative journalism is a journey. The best stories write themselves. Eventually, my reporting on the acquittal of Casey Anthony led me toward an unbelievable conclusion: Her jury of twelve peers was right! Casey Anthony is innocent. We all made her the most hated woman in America, and we were all wrong.

"The test of any civilisation or society is based on the amount and quality of care that it provides to its most weaker section, those who need it most. " Pregnant mothers and children below 5 years of age are the most vulnerable segment of the society. Former gives birth to life and continues human progeny. Whereas, latter decides the future. But, alas, do we give due respect and care to either of them. The biggest irony is that we spend our most of the money, time and other resources on other less important things than health. The world wide all Governments are working hard to reduce the Maternal & child deaths. But, still we are far from our health targets. I believe we cannot achieve our targets just by directing our resources, until we bring awareness about how to utilise them. If we want to make pregnancy, birthing and childcare safe to reduce the deaths and make parenting a pleasure we have to educate and sensitise the mothers, family and entire society. We have to ensure the safety of mothers across the globe, thy they are the creators of life. Happy Pregnancy Global Initiative is a mission to utilize the enormous power of social networking to create awareness towards pregnancy, childcare and parenting. The purpose of Happy Pregnancy app is to bring whole world in unison as a Global family to help our mothers and children. It has beautiful interface, family forum to interact with each other, various articles adorned with beautiful illustrations in easy to understand language on Pregnancy, Childcare and Parenting. Everyone who is a part of this mission is a winner. Mothers and children are benefitted with the vast knowledge and skills of professionals. Health care providers and other professionals get job satisfaction by contributing their skills for the benefit of society along with professional networking globally. Parents learn from the experience of other parents. Governments and NGO get social support to achieve their development goals and I get eternal happiness that almighty has chosen me as a part of this nobel Initiative. So, it has something for everyone. Happy pregnancy global initiative has few suggestions that might help to achieve them up to some extent. 1. Create awareness and sensitize society towards pregnancy and childcare by means of seminars, lectures, act plays etc in regional language. 2. Address the reasons that why the majority still do not utilise the health services. A. Lack of trust. B. Fear and apprehension. C. Long waiting. D. Poor quality perception. E. Costly treatment. F. Lack of services and commitment. G. Social misconceptions. F. Huge gap between demand and supply. Etc 3. Include pregnancy and childcare services into medical insurance. Presently the people who need most are not covered at all by the insurance companies in individual health policies. 4. Replace free health services by low cost medical therapy. When people pay for the services they utilise, they do not misuse or harm the resources. 5. Encourage public to get involved in management of hospitals in local areas and donate required instruments and facilities on the celebration days like birthdays or anniversaries and celebrate them with patients with terminal illnesses. 6. Give blood donation certificate to those who donate blood voluntarily and offer discounts in premium of medical insurance. 7. Make child adoption services easy to encourage care of those children who are in orphanage or war victims. 8. Audit various health measures and laws that could not achieve the targets and developmental goals. 9. Medical audit of every maternal and child deaths. 10. Improve medical emergency services including intensive care. The list of suggestions may be long and words short. However let's begin and face the challenges and we would surely make this world a better place to live for Mothers and Children. Let's join hands to reduce maternal and child deaths.

FROM Douglas Newsom, Cofounder of BBS Radio!

Mack Maloney is an author that SHOULD BE CONTACTED for interviews! He is an amazing source of information and I can't think of too many better people of planet earth worthy of a interview on BBS Radio! I recommend all of our hosts contact Mack for a scheduled interview! (!)

Author of best-selling "Wingman" series

Mack Maloney is the author of the best-selling “Wingman” series, (Open Road Publishing). With more than one million books sold, Wingman is considered one of the most popular military aviation series of the past two decades. His new book, “Wingman 18 -- Battle for America,” was published May 2.

Mack is also the author of “UFOs in Wartime – What They Didn’t Want You To Know" (Penguin Books.) Why are UFOs spotted more often during times of war? Mack tracks this phenomenon from Biblical times right up to the present, citing dozens of instances of UFOs being present during key battles in World War One and Two, the Korean War, Vietnam and the First Gulf War.

Mack is also host of the popular “Mack Maloney’s Military X-Files” radio show heard on a number of internet networks as well as Armed Forces Radio. Discussing everything from UFOs, ghost ships, missing aircraft and conspiracy theories, the show made national news two years ago when an alien calling in from 44 light years away correctly predicted the outcome of the Super Bowl.

Mack is also a member of the rock group SKY CLUB whose self-titled CD (Voiceprint Records, London) tells the story of a spaceman stranded on a deserted planet with only the songs on his iPod to keep him sane.

Novelist and Oklahoma native Ralph Ellison said, “You have to leave home to find home”, an apt description of the journey of John J. Dwyer, author and general editor of The Oklahomans. The Dwyer family roots were firmly transplanted from Ireland to Oklahoma by John’s great-grandfather and grandfather, the latter who settled in Oklahoma City in 1909, just two years after Oklahoma achieved statehood. Although born in Dallas, TX, John was relocated to Oklahoma when his widowed mother returned to her home when he was two years old.

It would be on Oklahoma soil that his mother instilled in him his love for history, and coupled with his unusually creative imagination, it soon became apparent that John not only liked to hear great stories of legend and history, but to make up his own as well. It would be out of a sense of divine purpose that he would use that creativity in response to a higher calling in the years to come.

John began a career in journalism during his high school days when he served in a variety of roles, including news and sports reporter, for the Duncan Banner, a daily newspaper in his small Oklahoma hometown. He was the youngest sports editor in the newspaper's history by the time he attended the University of Oklahoma on a journalism scholarship. He graduated in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts and sciences degree in journalism.

Dwyer further developed his journalistic skills in radio as a play‐by‐play football and basketball announcer for several radio stations. He won the coveted position of sports director for the University of Oklahoma's 100,000-watt KGOU‐FM radio station. For seven years, he provided live, on‐air reports to America's largest radio networks of University of Oklahoma college football games.

Except for a year in England during 6th grade, John lived in the Sooner State for 28 years before returning to Dallas in 1986 to attend Dallas Theological Seminary where he earned his Master of Biblical Studies. While there, Dwyer worked part time on the sports staff of The Dallas Times Herald, which at the time owned one of the five largest circulations of any daily newspaper in Texas. It was in Texas that he met and married his wife Grace in 1988 and settled down to start his family.

In the spring of 1992, Dwyer and his wife founded the Dallas‐Fort Worth Heritage newspaper, which would grow to a circulation of 50,000 per month at the time of its sale, after nearly a decade, to new owners. The Heritage pioneered innovative features such as full color photography and graphics, an expansive web site, a cluster of informative daily radio programs, and an aggressive, uncompromising brand of investigative news reporting unprecedented for contemporary news publications holding an orthodox Christian worldview.

Hi everyone!!

Elizabeth R. Urabe was born in Boston, MA, in 1961. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe, and after graduating from Carleton College in Northfield, MN, in 1983, she moved to Tokyo, Japan. In 1985, she met a living meditation Master and began a conscious spiritual journey that has completely transformed her life, inside and out. In 1995, quite spontaneously, she began to draw abstract pictures of extraordinary color and detail, which she believes to be the channeled reflection of inner energies that are not normally visible with the physical eyes. While pieces of her work have been sold in Japan, France, and in the United States, this is the first time that she has felt the timing to be right for making these pictures accessible to the entire world. Please visit www.erurabe.com or her new web site www.urabebatikdesign.com to view more of Elizabeth's life-transforming work. 'Life is a journey of the evolution of the spirit. At some point in the course of each person's life, something will happen that will bring about a 180 degree shift in the way he or she perceives reality. When this shift takes place, we begin to remember that the answers lie within us. We begin to take back our true power. We begin to remember that our purpose is to love. We begin to remember who we really are.' 'Many years ago, in a museum in Boston, I ran into a bronze statue of a Goddess. Her name was Kwan Yin, and the plaque at her feet told me that she was the Goddess of Compassion. I read the rest of what was written on the plaque, and it said: 'She sacrifices her own Enlightenment in order to lead others to It.' Quietly, I dissolved into tears. For the first time in my life, I felt as though I had found the words with which to accurately describe the essence of what I had felt, and suffered deeply from, seemingly forever... or at least since I had come into the physical, material world! In the decades to follow, as my spiritual hunger deepened and my path unfolded, these words were to haunt me; at times, bringing me comfort, because they indicated that - somewhere deep within me WAS in fact the all-encompassing, absolute experience of Enlightenment, for which my heart longed; at other times, causing me great distress and even anger, when I would question whether my being here was really making any positive difference at all on the world and on its inhabitants. In December of 1985, my destiny led me to the feet of a Siddha Guru, a perfectly realized Master who possesses the rare ability to awaken the Kundalini Shakti in a seeker and set him or her on the path to that same state of inner perfection. As I began to find the answers, not in books or in the preaching of those around me, but from within the depths of my own being, I - and my life - began to undergo a transformation. It was as if, one by one, the veils of illusion were being lifted from my eyes, and gradually, I was becoming able to see the Truth; not only about Who and What I was, but about what I was here to do. I did not, however, become instantly free of the sense of anger at having been dropped off on a planet where it felt to me as if no one had the slightest bit of interest in what I knew I had come to give. One morning, on my daily eight-mile walk, I engaged in a conversation with God and, all of a sudden, burst out in frustration: 'What am I DOING here, with this bunch of sleepwalking zombies?!' Immediately, a voice boomed out inside me: 'Wake them up! What on earth (literally :-)) do you think you are here for in the first place?' I never again questioned that this was in fact what I was here to do (waking people up spiritually), but rather, set my focus on seeking to better understand just what this meant in terms of the way I lived my life and interacted with people. Fifteen years, and an infinity of life-changing spiritually based experiences later, I finally evolved to the point of a very profound understanding of my personal life's work; and the essay to follow - which can help YOU to transform your own life, if you will allow it to - is to date the best reflection, with what limited language can do, of what I have been able to remember and to realize about the divine purpose of my life. One more thing, before I close this intro: if you are reading this now, I believe that we made, you and I, a sacred pact - before we came into this particular incarnation - that, when you were ready, I would come to you and give you that proverbial 'kick in the butt' that you knew you would need at this point in your own journey, to make sure that you remained true to your deepest inner commitment to go 'all the way'. I have a tendency to come along in people's lives when they have reached a plateau of sorts, and are resting relatively comfortably where they are, telling themselves that it has been difficult enough to get to THIS point...and are not so sure that getting up and continuing the climb, is worth the effort (sound vaguely familiar? O:-)). Easy as it can be for our egos to convince us that we ARE walking a truly spiritual path, all too often, all we have done is to shape shift and twist the facts of our lives, into a picture that we feel we can accept and live with....but which is not necessarily a life devoted to the Highest spiritual growth of which we are capable. So...as you read these words, and those in the essay to follow; and hopefully make/take the time to visit the spirit art on my web sites, if you experience discomfort, or even downright rage...KNOW that this is a good thing, not a bad one. It means that, inside yourself, space is being made for the awareness of a new level of reality to dawn upon your Consciousness. And now - to the heart of the matter! I believe life to be a journey of the evolution of the spirit. At some point in the evolution of each person's life, something will happen that will bring about a 180 degree shift in the way he or she perceives reality. When this shift takes place, we begin to remember that the answers lie within us. We begin to take back our true power. We begin to remember that our purpose is to love. We begin to remember Who we really are. The journey of the evolution of my spirit has been one of great diversity, in which I have taken many a 'road less traveled.' In retrospect, however, there was undeniably a unifying spiritual thread tying all of my experiences together: the theme of surrender. Despite being fiercely independent by nature, I have always recognized that the mystery of who I was, was not one that I would ever succeed in unraveling without divine intervention. Consequently, seeing the invisible, hearing the inaudible, feeling the intangible, and having unconditional faith in the inconceivable, were abilities that came naturally to me, rather than being strengths that I had to work to develop. But it wasn't until the ability to surrender became a conscious choice on my part, instead of something that I just seemed to fall into, that I was able to identify this 'underlying spiritual thread' that gave integrity to my life, as being the power of grace. The power of grace, which is the divine energy of healing and transformation, comes through each of us in different ways, to differing degrees, and takes on different forms. I believe this to be neither accident nor coincidence, and that whoever is 'directing' it knows our strengths and our weaknesses, and uses each of us in the most wide-reaching ways possible. Grace, as it comes through me as an individual, takes on the power of awakening. On the esoteric levels, grace sometimes touches those in my life with a gentle caress or a lullaby; sometimes shrills like an alarm clock; sometimes awakens with a swift kick in the butt; and, as a last resort, sometimes works through me to dump others (and me right along with them) into a bucket of ice-cold water, head first. The most dramatic physical level manifestation of the power of grace in my life thus far, has been the drawing of a large collection of pictures that I am absolutely convinced are the embodiment of the most powerful, yet subtle, spiritual energies available to mankind at this point in the evolution of our consciousness as a species. I did not just start drawing these pictures, even though at the time, it seemed as though that was what had occurred. One week before the process of drawing actually began, I had begun working with Julia Cameron's book, 'The Artist's Way', and I believe that it was my commitment to doing the exercises outlined in this powerful course, fueled by the accumulated strength of ten years of spiritual discipline on a meditation path called Siddha Yoga, that combined to make me strong enough to surrender to the reality of being a channel through which new energies of transformation and integration could make their way into our world. For four years straight, the pictures were the center of my life. They evolved on a daily basis, and the deeper I got into the process, the more apparent it became that it was not 'me' who was drawing them. No matter how tired I might be, any time I would lie down and try to rest, I would 'feel' the picture within me, taking shape and demanding to be put down on paper. Just as any woman who has had a baby knows that it is impossible to say 'no' to the miracle of childbirth, once it has begun, so, too, was it with these pictures. They were being born through me, coming into this world from some other realm, a realm of spirit; and once the process had begun, I had no choice but to do my part in completing it. What was even more amazing was that, after a picture was finished, I would stand and look down at it, marveling at its perfection and its beauty, and then I would literally 'hear' voices of all the other pictures, arguing amongst themselves as to which one would be the next one to come through me. Needless to say, this was all exciting, humbling, and finally, energizing, as picture by picture, my understanding of what these beings were, and why they had come, began to piece together. These pictures are a powerful catalyst for the kind of very real spiritual awakening that can help us to transform our lives. They are a mirror, in which we can see the reflection of our own soul. The energy they embody is alive, conscious, vibrating. You can actually form a relationship with any one of these pictures, and use it as a tool to assist you in your own processes of healing and growth. I invite you to do so; in fact, I beg you to do so. Our world is in desperate need of individuals courageous enough to take on the challenge of awakening completely. Over a period of four years, nearly 350 pictures came through me. I never once made an outline, and never drew a single picture that was not perfect for and as what it was. I consider them my 'spirit children' and I love them with a passion. It is my fervent desire that they might touch your life as they have touched mine. They, like each of us, have a destiny all their own: they are here to guide us Home. Broadly speaking, my work can be divided into three distinct groups, each with its own unique energies and purpose. The first group of pictures are images of Awakening. When something in you, on whatever level, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual, responds to a picture from Group I, know that memories are being stirred within you of the way life was before fear entered our consciousness, when perfect Love was all we knew. The energies in these pictures will encourage introspection, triggering such questions as: 'Who am I? Why am I here? What is the true purpose of my life?' It is important to ask ourselves these questions, and to allow the answers to arise within us, even if the answers are initially a bit foreign or frightening. The second group of pictures are images of Healing. To heal means 'to make whole'. You will find, for the most part, that you experience either a strong attraction, or an equally strong aversion to the pictures in this group. This is because both those parts of ourselves that we like AND those parts of ourselves that we don't like, are important keys in helping to answer the kind of questions asked above. Our being is like a jigsaw puzzle, and all of the pieces are necessary in order for the mystery of who we are and why we are here, to be unraveled. The third group of pictures are images of Transformation and Reintegration. All healing involves looking at pain from a new and different perspective, and allowing it to be transformed into Love. We fear that which we do not understand. When right understanding is restored, fear dissolves and Love returns to take its place. The energy in these pictures is for those rare individuals who are ready to cease looking for a reason to be less than they are, and to take complete responsibility for themselves and for their lives. Here is where we stand up and claim our true Life's Work. This is where the pieces of the puzzle of our existence start to come together into a unified picture that makes sense. This is where we stop looking for someone else to give us permission to be who we are and do what we know in our hearts we came to do. In the sacred space of his or her own heart, each of us knows who we are and what we came to do. The fact of the matter is, it takes a lot more energy trying to be something we aren't, than it does to surrender to the truth of who we are. Meet your life head on, from the perspective of being willing to remember Who you are. See your Self in others. See your Self in nature. See your Self reflected in the dancing colors of these pictures I have channeled. See yourSelf, honor yourSelf, respect yourSelf, bow down to yourSelf. Above all, be true to yourSelf. The journey of the evolution of spirit is not linear. It is entirely possible to be drawn to a picture from Group III today, and one from Group I tomorrow. Ultimately, what matters most is to trust in the process of our own unfolding, and to honor ourselves and our path each step of the way. If one of these pictures is meant to be a companion to you as you progress on your path, you will know it. However, as their channel, I am very intimate with the subtle differences between the pictures, and what these differences mean in terms of the spiritual journey. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions you may have about the unique function of the energies in each picture. It will be my joy and my honor to hear of your impressions, and to share with you what I have come to understand about them and about their divine purpose. In closing, I would like to share with you my all time favorite quote; it was written by Marianne Williamson for Nelson Mandela, and no matter how many times we may have read the words before, I do not think that we can ever contemplate them too often. The quote reads as follows: 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be. You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Elizabeth Urabe February 2009
