My sister Judy passed away Saturday, peacefully........in her sleep.....apparently, from a stroke. She was 11 years older than me. Her husband is alone now, and in need of many prayers. His name is Jim.
For those who have powers to project healing and resonant vibes......I ask you to send them to all of us during this Thanksgiving Season......and especially to her three children: Mark, Kim, and Ron. And Grandchildren, too. They all need grace and healing, as do my boys and I.
Judy and Jim made their home in Arkansas.
Judy is a vast soul, and now she is working on the Other Side for the benefit of us all. Back at the "home office," with our folks.
She was the last of my direct "family line".......before my boys. I am deeply grateful to my Family of the Heart, and love you all especially during these powerful, change-filled days.I find it curious (and comforting) to sense the synchronicity of re-considering the Path of "Physical Immortality" on the Discussion List and on the Web Site, just prior to this event in my own life.
Today's emotions take me back to the image of Mary and Martha, in the Bible, standing before that tomb of their deceased brother. Jesus had been many miles away, during their brother's final illness, and could not arrive in time to heal him. When he did arrive, Lazarus was already wrapped and buried in the tomb.
It is here that we find the shortest (and most poignant) verse in the Bible. It says only that "Jesus wept."
At first, one might think this to be a validation of all our beliefs in "death and taxes".....to the extent that even the Son of God has to stop and pay homage (in the form of tears) at the tomb/womb. But I truly wonder if that is the case. Could it be that those tears were tears of sorrow and ANGER at the extent of desolation that this whole BELIEF IN DEATH has caused? Or, perhaps, they were also tears of joy.......knowing the rebirth that was about to come?
A wise and wonderful channel wrote to me recently about gathering thoughts and intuitions about the PASSAGE of Mother Earth, into the land where we are all bound.........where we have ALWAYS BEEN.....and her feeling that we "custodians" of the 3D Illusion have been left
here to attend the dissolution of an Illusory Veil as it cracks wide open, revealing what has been true all along.........
As the PROMISE OF A LIFETIME article set forth........we are ALL still sitting around the table, at the LAST SUPPER........which is only called that because it NEVER ENDS.........so those cooks among us are continually busy, aren't they?
And isn't that interesting........my sister Judy's married name was COOK........and she learned much from my mother (whose name was Mary, by the way)........about wielding a skillet.
There are parts of us who are THERE, at the table........and parts of us that are HERE........at the stable........waiting for the Oneself Christ Child to be born, and for the Veil to finally and completely dissolve.........a concept that is eagerly anticipated by all true Guardians of the Illusion..........in honor and respect for the WILD RIDE it has given us........
This morning, a special friend who is clairvoyant wrote and told me she saw Judy in a field of poppies......walking among the wild flowers. And it is in the Mountains in California where we will take her ashes, the last vestige of her ILLUSION BODY......(the one that implies "This is all I am." ).....and throw them to the wind.....
Jesus wept, and so can I. My heart can break wide open, so that the wind and the sea can flow in and through me........no longer held in restraint by ideas of limitation and the INSULT of MORTAL FEARS........
Hey, Jude........you go, girl. Lead the way. The rest of us are NOT FAR BEHIND YOU..........
You can start making Mom's spaghetti.......that same recipe that Conclave 2004 tasted before we headed to our own mountains at Chehala. And you'd best make a lot.......'cause we are HUNGRY!

MOVING!
We've known it was coming, folks......since before the Conclave. And here it was: MOVING DAY. I moved house last Tuesday. Grunt, groan, aches, pains, boxes, tape.........and some awesome buddies. Genuine buds, offering to help. Gotta love 'em!
Now comes the best part. Rebuilding my world at a new location. I love doing that, and used to move regularly because of it. Plus, I had boys at home, and cats, dogs........the scene. For the last ten years, it was just me (and a cat when he was alive). I would have stayed there forever, but Spirit had other plans. And I really love my new locale.
But oh........it reminds me of right after the Conclave...............pooped and happy. Or happily pooped, whichever way you might wish to put it.
Gotta go now. Back to the boxes...........
REALMS
I was talking to the Neenster over dinner tonight, explaining a concept which was taught to me years ago by a young Star Kid. It's called "Realms."
Everything and Everyone in life exists within a realm. Some people or things exist in two or more realms at the same time---in which case the "keeper of their realms" change as their intentions and goals change. In fact, at some point, they may even form a realm of their own.
When you enter someone's realm you can feel it. It smells, vibrates, resonates exactly like the person whose job it is to oversee it. The determiner of "domain" may be origin of idea, possession (which is 9/10s of the law), official ownership, implied ownership........or whatever........there are many determining factors, not the least of which is transcendent CARING for the needs of those who exist in the realm.
The other night I had the misfortune of going to see "Marie Antoinette," the new version. Boring! Yet worthy, in the fact that it is a study in what it means to poorly manage one's "realm." Beautiful scenery at Versailles, yet obscene.........in the senseless opulence of decor and squandering of public funds, while the "commoners" starve. It is a timely movie, to be sure..........if one considers the class wars that are said to be currently in play.
An old history teacher of mine (now on the other side) once explained: "Marie Antoinette wasn't a bad person, really. When told that the starving people of Paris had no bread, she proclaimed: 'Let them eat cake.' For this, she was assumed to be insensitive, and was beheaded. In truth.....(he told us).......she didn't have any evil intent. She'd never known hunger. In her world, if you were out of bread, there was always cake to take its place. She assumed that this was the case everywhere. These two kids, Marie et Louis, were TEENAGERS when they came into ruling France. They knew nothing of realms........but the realms knew something of them. And, when the bills came due, the grim collector knew where to seek payment.There is much to say about several Great Qualifiers that might well be used to decide who gets jurisdiction over which realm. If you go with simple ownership...like the passing of land and title from one generation to another...the boundaries tend to get blurred. The debauched son of a wealthy landowner may be the LEGAL HEIR to his father's land, but is he truly the "Keeper of that Realm?"
Perhaps some other factors must be considered when boundaries are laid out...when distinctions are made, and (especially) when something like AUTHORITY is wielded over a person, a group of persons, or a piece of property!Such factors might be:
1. Whose lives are most affected by decisions made around this
property?
2. Whose daily labor and care is exercised to keep the property safe,
sound, and in order?
3. Who CARES MOST about the outcomes of each situation involving the
property?
As humanity will soon see, all forms of OWNERSHIP are really LOANERSHIP from a Higher Source. That Source, we will soon discover, is the Oneself of All That Is....as expressed through our various Minions of Power....which administrate the intentions of Source. Caring is a big thing. Source LOVES those who care, and resists those who don't (except if it serves a higher purpose).
Case in point:
King Solomon was a notoriously effective King of Israel, in the Bible. He was particularly famous for his wisdom. Many of us have heard the story of his many Public 'Tribunals," where he would hold court, to help his people work out problems of daily living. In one such court, Solomon encountered two mothers...grieving and sorely dismayed. They were fighting over the custody of an infant. During the previous night, both mothers had gone to sleep with their babies in their arms. While asleep, one mother rolled over onto her baby and smothered it. When she awakened, she was so distraught that she placed her dead baby in the arms of the mother sleeping beside her...taking that mother's live baby as her own. In the morning, the other mother awoke to find a dead baby in her arms...one she did not recognize.She complained, but the guilty mother insisted that the live baby she held
onto was her natural child. Going before Solomon, both mothers were very convincing in their arguments. (I guess footprints didn't exist in those days yet) They screamed and accused, and Solomon had a hard time sorting out the details of their arguments. Heavens to Perry Mason!
In his wisdom, Solomon called the Chief of the Guard to come forward and wield his sword. He looked at both mothers and said: "Obviously, there is no fair way to settle this argument. Therefore, I order that the Chief of the Guard will cut this (live) baby in half, so each of you can have a share.
The guilty mother, whose baby had died in the night, agreed. She said: "Let the baby be divided, so that we both can have a fair share!" But the other mother, the REAL MOTHER of the child who lived, said: "Oh no! Please, Lord King. I will give the baby to her, of my own free will. Only PLEASE, let the baby live."
Upon hearing this, Solomon knew who the REAL mother of the sleeping child was. It was she, who was willing to give up private ownership in order to save her baby's life. And he honored her, and restored the baby to her arms.
In a way, this story tells illustrates a lot about how AUTHORITY will work
in the Communities of our Futureself. I have heard stories on our Recon Discussion List about communes and organizations which operate and have flourished without leadership. And they do so effectively. But I would suggest to us, friends, that ALL organizations DO have leadership.....whether or not that leadership is acknowledged.
Do you know what a camel is? It's a HORSE that was put together by a
committee. Anything that gets done, anywhere....anytime....does so through the guiding force of some person, or group of persons, who qualify for leadership by
reason of their over-riding sense of CARING about what goes on in that
domain. a certain FOCUS that is held...coupled with an undying WILLINGNESS
to stay around, for as long as it takes, to see that the "seedling" of the
organizational concept survives, through the years, to bear the fruit of its
destiny.
And the LEADERS AND ARCHITECTS of the Future....the ones who truly CUT THE
MUSTARD...will most often be those who recognize the rebel nature of humanity AGAINST the idea of someone who claims to be "the man"...who holds all the power. And they will dutifully and artfully wait in the wings, not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing....and wield their secret power, unbeknownst to those who benefit from it.
And somehow, some perfect time, BOTH HANDS are brought together, so as to
get food into the collective mouth and nourishment to the Body in which it
resides. Is this truth or fancy? In the Multiverse, it can surely be BOTH (and neither).
Amen and Amen. Awomen and Awomen....

The Coat Hanger
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened.
The baby sitter told her that the fever was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time had locked their keys in their car. She looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her help.
Within five minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help.
She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her.
Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car? He said, "Sure."
He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened.
She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man." The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!"
Isn't life a trip?
"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned,
so as to accept the life that is waiting for us."
