				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>“Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.”<br />
~ Robert Ingersoll, Political Orator</em></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignright" p style="margin-top: 4px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 4px;" title="True  Hope Light" src="http://awakenlight.org/images/truehope.jpg" alt="True  Hope Light" /></p>
<p>I believe that we as humans are born hopeful.  That we have an inherent light within us that lives in positivity, no matter what the circumstance. This is borne out by the repeated words and advice of the spirit guides.</p>
<p>It may not always be easy to remember and have faith in this inner light and, when looking outside of ourselves, to the Earth and the human community, we may more easily see evidence of darkness and despair.  But the truth is that we are all creations of the infinite light, that hope is always with us waiting to shine upon our path.</p>
<p>This is true for both individuals and for the planet upon which we live.</p>
<p>Based on my own experience and the wisdom of the guides, here are some valuable actions that you can take to ensure the growth of hope, within your own life and the life of the Earth:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1.  Incorporate a practice of daily meditation into your life.</strong>  This helps to empower your thinking, balance your energy and de-stress your life.  It also helps you see the positive in more things, when the negative would seem to be more obvious.  Meditation is a great regulator of stress, fear, high-blood pressure and depression.  Take 15 minutes for connecting with yourself every day.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>2.  Switch to a diet that supports the natural processes of the planet, one incorporating organic, seasonal foods.</strong>  A vegetarian or vegan diet is even more beneficial for the pressure that it takes off of the environment <em>(commercial meat farming uses an inordinate amount of natural resources.)</em> If you buy local, seasonal, organic produce it will<span id="more-910"></span> benefit your immune systems like you can only imagine, and will support a local farmer who is doing things the right way for our long-term planetary survival.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>3.  Learn about how to grow and preserve your own foods, look into permaculture gardening and then practice these things.  </strong>The amount of work needed to create good food will help you readjust your view on food and the ease with which we now get it.  You may realize how unnatural our chemical-laden supermarket shelves really are.  You will also greatly lessen your footprint on this Earth by growing food the old-fashioned way as well as greatly lessening your likelihood of developing diabetes, cancer and heart disease.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>4.  Walk more.</strong>  To school, to work, to the grocery store or just to a friend&#8217;s house.  Walking is such an aerobic, calming and connecting meditative experience.  And what you save in finite fossil fuels will benefit not only you but the environment as well.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>5.  Volunteer your time.</strong>  Giving is the surest way of receiving, and spending time with those less fortunate than yourself will certainly give you food for thought about what is valuable in life and how blessed you are by your creator. Everyone is too worried about money and acquiring <em>things</em> to give of themselves these days.  You can begin reversing that trend, in your own life.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>6.  Smile and say hello.</strong>  Strangers don&#8217;t generally bite, despite common belief to the contrary, and your moment of kindness and connection could very well change the amount of light that another person finds in their day.  If you pass someone on the road, say hi, and see how it also makes you feel high.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>7.  Turn off the tv.  Turn off the radio.</strong>  Media is not a free medium, the commercials, news reports, political messages, offensive images and lyrics all take a very costly toll on your energy and your thinking.  The amount of pain in your life may truly be nil, and yet the mental anguish and emotional upset brought to you every day in the form of &#8220;information&#8221; from the media can send any individual into a real and deep depression.  Spend time in silence, share conversation with your loved ones.  Let the media spin for their bread, but don&#8217;t let them spin your head.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>8.  Teach your children about physical exercise by setting an example of fitness.</strong>  You can be as spiritual as you want, and it will benefit you to no end.  But, if you combine that with lethargy and immobility, you will suffer constant malaise and illness, which does not benefit spiritual awareness.  Sick people are a much bigger drain on planetary resources and what good is it to be great a meditator and astral-projector, if you also end up in a wheelchair or needing regular treatment for degenerative disease? Walk, run, dance, do yoga and just throw a ball around, you and your kids will be glad that you did.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>9.  Refuse to accept chemical and synthetic replacements for natural things in your life.</strong>  People once stored their foods in wooden barrels and earthen jars.  Clothes were once made from plant and animals fibres.  Medicines once came from nature, without the chemical removal of their balancing &#8220;non-active&#8221; ingredients.  Cleaning products were once homemade and non-estrogen mimicking.  Building materials once came without chemical impregnation and manufacturing.  It can be that way again, but only if you are willing to demand, and pay for, real value in the products that you use.</li>
<p></p>
<li> <strong>10.  Breath before speaking.</strong>  When you let words, which are energy and just as real as a seed in the ground or a slap across the face, escape your mouth in a moment of passion, without thinking, they can add more of what we don&#8217;t need to this world.  Do not let your life breath be the vehicle by which more hurt, anger, violence and despair enter into our environment.  Instead allow yourself to find the eternal spiritual source within you before attempting to express your feelings, let this divine spark be your guide to communicating your thoughts in a balanced way.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong>11.  Allow yourself to believe that there is more beyond this world and more beyond this life. </strong> Know that you are always a part of that divine energy from which you came.  Know that you have been sent here to learn and grow and that the opportunity is a gift.  Have respect for yourself, your planet and the others in your life, for they are all essential to your ability to grow while you are here. <img src="http://awakenlight.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></li>
</ul>
<p>
~<br />
<em><br />
My blessings on finding your own ways to add value and hope to your life, and to this great planet Earth.</em></p>

~<strong>Maori Proverb</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Wheat in the Sunlight" src="http://awakenlight.org/images/wheat-in-the-sunlight.jpg" alt="Wheat in the Sunlight" width="260" height="360" /><em>Here is a new channeling brought down from the higher self.  Her intention was to inspire you to think more positive thoughts and to put down what you are doing, to go outside and spend some time under the sacred sunlight:</em></p>
<p>There is light and there is dark.</p>
<p>The dark is fed by darkness.</p>
<p>The light is fed by lightness.</p>
<p>Spend time in the sunlight to become more light.</p>
<p>Spend time in the night-dark to become more dark.</p>
<p>Neither is more or less valid than the other.</p>
<p>All is balance.</p>
<p>All is right.</p>
<p>There is joy and there is sadness.</p>
<p>All things are but one thing.</p>
<p>One thing fades into another and thus they are <span id="more-171"></span>of one and the same thing.</p>
<p>Polarity.</p>
<p>Balance.</p>
<p>If the sun is calling to you, go to it and accept its light.</p>
<p>Rise earlier in the day for building up affinity with this light.</p>
<p>Feel the energy that it provides to you in its lightness.</p>
<p>If you are feeling dark, do not choose to spend more and more time in the darkness.</p>
<p>As much as your affinity is for it, choose to spend more time in the light.</p>
<p>It will allow you to build a new affinity&#8230;with the light.</p>
<p>Accept darkness and slide yourself slowly along the scale of darkness, if you choose, towards its other self: the light.</p>
<p>This is the reality of all things.  That they are but one thing.</p>
<p>Cold is but a degree of heat.</p>
<p>Sad is but a degree of Joy.</p>
<p>Young is but a degree of age.</p>
<p>And in all things there is balance.</p>
<p>The sun is balanced by the moon.</p>
<p>The Ego is balanced by the Spirit.</p>
<p>And if you choose to be balanced within the light, then it will manifest in you.</p>
<p>For intent is creation.</p>
<p>And balance is the law.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~<strong>Jean Ingelow, English Poet and Author</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>These are the entities that we have been working with for our new book project. </strong></p>
<p><strong>They sometimes speak on random, unexpected things.  This time it was a diatribe on our now defunct second moon. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Although it may be easy to see this as a negative or dark message, it is the point that they are trying to make which is of real value&#8230; </strong></p>
<p><strong>We need to work to amplify the light within each of us and on our planet as a whole. </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>These are their words:</em></strong></p>
<hr />Kosmopharos: We would like to speak a bit.</p>
<p>You planet once had two moons.  One of which has now gone dark, but its energy signature still circles you.</p>
<p>It is not the cause of chaos on your planet. Many things have caused that.  But it amplifies, it is an amplifier.  It is important for people to feel connected with your moon, Luna, not simply because it controls the tides on your planet, which is value enough, but because in not valuing  it, in ignoring it, they unconsciously amplify the amplifier of the chaos.</p>
<p>The moon is beautiful and filled with inspiration, but it is the reason that<span id="more-207"></span> your existence on this planet, on the third dimension that you now live on, as well as the next three dimensions, are possible.  It is, of course, just a satellite, but think of all things on your planet and in this universe that would not exist without a satellite. The satellite is not simply a worshiper of the Earth, though originally so.  It guides the Earth.  It keeps her in check, as best as its little body can.  She stays on her axis and on her orbit, in large part, thanks to the guidance of the moon.  They are sisters.  And their dark sister, though technically gone, still has value and presence.</p>
<p>The unknown, if denied, if feared or ignored, bubbles to the surface, and because it has been denied and feared and ignored for so long, it manifests as chaos.  This is true of human emotion as well as human history.  It is true of all hidden and dark things.  But the dark things are no less valuable for their hidden nature.</p>
<p>This is something we wish to point out by being honest, by opening, those who seek knowledge, through our book.  Creation is not always a gentle process.  But creation is the very point of existence, in any realm, but specifically in your physical realm.</p>
<p>Creation, by its nature, seeks balance in all things.  For that reason, to seek the purpose of the lost moon, you need only imagine the complete opposite of your last moon.</p>
<p>It is not a reflector of the sun’s light, as your current moon is.  It is the reflector of the Earth’s darkness, for the only reason that the Earth is lit is because of the sun.  It has not any casting light of its own.</p>
<p>If your current moon controls the Earth’s waters, the missing moon controls the Earth’s fires, its volcanoes and earthquakes, its heat.  It does not amplify gentleness, creativity and inspiration, as Luna does.  It amplifies, in its absence, anger and darkness and chaos.</p>
<p>Because it is gone, it does all these things without your knowing.  When it was here, it served these purposes.  It kept these things in balance.  It controlled, although it amplified, the fires and the darkness and the chaos.</p>
<p>But, as it is no longer there for these things to be grounded out into, to be bounced off of, as the dark sister is no longer there to hold these things in balance, they shoot around without aim, out into the universe, in circles ‘round your planet.  There is no place for them to dissipate, nowhere for them to go to be transmuted.</p>
<p>If we could better explain dimensions to you, but there are no words.  Every body, every planetary body, every astrological body has its own version of dimensions.</p>
<p>The dark moon still has influence upon this planet because, in universal terms, she has only just recently left.  She was moving so quickly that her vibration still circles and in her own dimensions, two of which she still exists in, she has not completely gone from her place or her purpose.</p>
<p>Light years are such that should one of Jupiter’s moons fall, fail, dissolve from the sky, its purpose in the planet’s atmosphere would continue happening until the now caught up with the then, until the energy completely dissipated and the message of its disappearance reverberated back through all the levels of atmosphere and existence on the planet.</p>
<p>Practicality.  Luna blesses what is already created. Her sister &#8212; the cause of creation. Earthquakes and volcanoes, anger and passion, chaos, they are all very volatile, but they are the strongest forces of creation.</p>
<p>Inspiration, beauty, mystery, the gifts of Luna, remain only that without the passion and the force and the heat.  They are opposites and equals in balance.</p>
<p>The time will come when Luna will go her own way, but she is loyal and sensitive, it is unlikely that she will falter until your need of her is done.</p>
<p>It is just one more reason that amplifying the vibration of positivity and light on your planet would be beneficial, for the less darkness that you create, the less darkness there is to be amplified.</p>
