The World Is Coming To An End!

The world, as we know it, is coming to an end. The world as the center of the universe, the world bound by horizons in which love is reserved for the members of the in group: That is the world that is passing away. Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end.

Joseph Campbell

Want to be ready? It's time to become more knowledgeable about your journey. It's time to become more involved in that journey. Time to become Love!

From the kitchen window I spotted Milt rescuing a baby Magpie by fending off a curious neighbor dog intent on, well, who knows what. The frightened baby bird hopped his way to our back yard, Milt following close behind in hopes of securing the bird in a safer setting.

With our new friend resting in the shadow of our sweat lodge frame, Milt sat on a log engaging the bird in deep dialogue. The unheard conversation continued for 10-minutes as Milt inched closer, now within five feet of the baby Magpie. I so wished I could hear what was being said. The bird seemed unafraid, realizing somehow that his new found companion presented no danger.

Later, Milt told me he was assuring the baby he had a friend who was trying to help him to a safer setting, and was trying to figure how he would be able to reunite with mama Magpie, and be assured he'd have proper access to feeding and flying lessons. With continued conversation, the baby hopped to the top of the sweat lodge.

Milt approached. Now face to face just inches away, Milt told the calmed baby bird to stay where he was and that food and water would soon be available. He did -- and it was. Milt came back into the house, and within minutes Baby Magpie was frolicking in the water and tasting of the bird seed we had on hand. Feeling he had done all he could to help the baby survive, we prayed for his safety and proceeded with our workday.

After an several hours absence, we checked the sweat lodge to find Baby Martin was gone. (Martin Magpie seemed somehow an appropriate name.)

Next morning as Milt was making our wake up coffee, I looked in the backyard. "Milt, Martin Magpie is back sitting atop the sweat lodge, awaiting your next words of encouragement as to how everything will be OK!" A joyful sight it was to know Martin had survived the night what with all the neighborhood dogs and cats on the prowl.

Unafraid, Martin hopped for joy as his sweet-talking protector came out for a welcome-home visit. First the water, then back to the seeds. Martin hopped all over the yard, making one failed attempt to FLY to the top of the Sweat Lodge. We sensed that Martin, sans tail feathers, was still able to fly short distances -- and learning he could fly would be his salvation.

That afternoon we decided to force Martin to give flying a good shot by getting too-close-for-his-comfort, then a surprise loud BOO proved to Martin he indeed could fly!.

Goodbye Martin. It was fun getting to know you. Now go have a happy life!

As I witnessed this beautiful interaction, I thought of Mother Mary's message of months back;

Did you know you had wings?
Did you know you could fly?
Did you know you were birthed
From the angels on high?

Did you know each breath
You take is divine?
Did you know your heart
Is made from mine?

Did you know there is nothing you could ever do,
That would take my love away from you?

Did you know I am near,
As close as your heart?
Did you know I have been there
From your very start?

Did you know I whisper
Love words in your ear?
Did you know my presence
Has always been near?

Did you know of your greatness?
Did you know of your soul?
Did you know you have always
Been perfect and whole?

If you know not these wonders
I share here today,
Then just ask from your heart
And you'll hear my voice say...

Did you know you had wings?
Did you know you could fly?
Did you know you were birthed
From the angels on high?

You are loved with all my heart!
Mother Mary

A message for us all from two to a hundred and two — and a half!

Just a few of the comments about our March 1st live TeleClass, HEAVEN — The Inside Story!

"Amazing!" - "Uplifting!" - "Incredible!" - "It ended too soon!" "Through laughter and tears, it brought me healing!" "When can we do it again?" - "Trudy opened my eyes and my heart!" "I learned so much just by listening to the answers to other folk's questions. Very healing!" - "Please sign me up for every TeleClass you present!" - "The three of you are heaven on earth!"

Not one for self-promotion, (heh heh) the presentation was all that, and more, as Susan and I shared our experience of first connecting with Milt's Mom Trudy Alcorn after her death, and the insightful information she shared on the afterlife and the death and dying process.

Then, as if on cue, Trudy showed up mid-way to spice up the program in her own inimitable style, sequined finery and all, to answer questions submitted by many of the 82 fortunate folks attending by telephone.

We're inviting Trudy to join in again to discuss some of the most controversial
subjects of our time.

*Sin -- What is it? IS IT?
*Abortion -- When does life begin?
*The Death Penalty -- Right of Wrong?
*Hell & Eternal Damnation -- Fact or Myth?
*Communicating With Those in Spirit -- Right or Wrong?

These and a host of other questions answered from beyond the grave. You'll also finally learn why you are on this planet at this time! Your purpose!

(You are also invited to submit a question for Trudy concerning anything you've wondered about the afterlife. Email just one question please.)

A very dear and funny man crossed back to spirit recently, and I suspect already has performed to Standing Room Only audiences.

In communicating with our guides and loved ones in spirit over the years, they've often shared the importance of humor in our lives here on planet earth, explaining it is one of the most potent healing tools available to mankind.

That being the case, George Carlin was one master healer. Here's one of his takes on the aging process.

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But! wait!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE IT to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

Was that Native-American drumming we heard? But coming from where?

As we relaxed at our favorite San Luis cafe, Rosa Mystica, the sound grew louder and we discovered a magical occurrence was in the process.

Unknown to us, a large Native-American organization called the Peace & Dignity Journeys had a contingent coming through little ole San Luis, Colorado, on their way to Panama. They started out in Alaska. ALASKA!!!

Hold on to your hats folks. The are RUNNING from Alaska to Panama to meet up with their counterparts who began their trek north from Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina. ARGENTINA!!!

As we met with the group, we learned that in 1990 over 200 representatives of indigenous nations from throughout the western hemisphere met for the first time in Quito, Ecuador. There they witnessed the unfolding prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor.

The inspiration of spiritual running to re-unite the nations of Turtle Island (Now the United States) surfaced from the elders. Elders from North, Central and South America would come together as one. Like a body that was broken up into fragmented pieces, to come back together to be whole again.

Of course we shared with the leaders our mission to establish a healing Casa here in SAN LUIS, and they were obviously pleased to hear that Mother Mary's first request of us was to locate a Native-American totem carver to create a statue of her as the centerpiece of our prayer and meditation garden.

Additional pleasure was taken from the fact that the Native-American carver we were led to was from the Haida Tribe in Alaska!

We're happy to say that as they ran past the Casa property, at our request they sent a sacred blessing to the Casa de Santa Maria. When they make their next run in four years, we have invited them to make the Casa an official stopping point for fellowship, rest and relaxation. Won't that be special? (Maybe YOU can visit with us then as well.)

Trusting for donations along the way, we were happy to make a small ($60) donation from the Casa to help them on their way, for which they gave genuine thanks.

We shared email addresses with one of the elders so we'll be keeping in touch. Here is a picture of part of the group.

Ah, another quiet Saturday in San Luis...

There was a little old lady who, every morning. stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD!'

One day an atheist moved into the house next door. He became irritated at the little old lady.
Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her and yell: 'THERE IS NO LORD!'

Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.

One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!

The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.

'PRAISE THE LORD!' she cried out. 'HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!'

The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted: 'AHA! THERE IS NO LORD -- I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!'

The little old lady then threw her arms into the air and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD!
GOD HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND HE GOT THE DEVIL TO PAY FOR THEM!'

Oh that we were able to understand it all. I doubt we ever will with these limited human minds, but one day we will. We'll eventually see how it all fit together to form a perfect process for understanding and accepting the lessons we came to this planet earth-school to learn.

For our sanity we need to stop asking "Why?" and we need to pray for our hearts to be brought to peace as we reach out to offer our love and compassion and assistance to others in need. Most important is learning to offer those same gifts of love, compassion and assistance to ourselves in our times of challenge. After all, becoming love is what it is all about.

One day we'll see that everything, every bit of it was in Divine order. All the things we decided were negative, horrific, and punishing, we will eventually come to awareness as to why it happened — and that it was indeed ALL in Divine order — for a Divine purpose.

The best thing we can do for ourselves, and those around us, is to ask the Creator to bring us to peace with the process. If you pray to God, Jesus, that great Jewish Mother Mary, Allah, Buddha, whomever, if you ask to be brought to peace — they will respond immediately. It's then up to you to accept.

Understand what has happened to those whose physical lives have ended. The souls that occupied those bodies are back home, no longer in need of a physical body. Having completed their assignment here, they have returned to spirit from where we all came and to where we will eventually all return.

Those souls were immediately welcomed by their loved ones, angels, guides and helpers in an amazing reunion, and wrapped in unconditional love and acceptance. They didn't die, they were birthed back into spirit, that place where we reside in the Creator's presence for eternity. Their lives have not been cut short. They live on with purpose and meaning, and they continue their journey in a new dimension -- just as we all will one day.

Planet earth is just a temporary dimension for us to experience what we chose to experience. Spirit (what some call heaven) is where the action is. That's where we really live, free of this dense and vulnerable five-senses earthly body, learning and growing in a pain free and love-full environment.

We are all smack-dab in the middle of our eternal life, and planet earth is but a paragraph in our never ending story. So, what's the worst of your fears? Death?

Physical death liberates your soul to return where true life exists. Death is a graduation from earth-school, back to reality. Not the end — but a new beginning. What a perfect plan. Enjoy the ride — don't fear it!

Even if you accept all this as truth, that still does not lessen the pain due to the physical loss of a loved one. That will continue, for a time. You will always miss them. As you become more and more aware of their presence around you, the pain will grow less, and you will begin to feel their presence even more.

Pray to be brought to peace, and we will pray that for you also.

In the event you'd like to assist with the creation of Casa de Santa Maria,
We could use your help with a few of these current needs;

*Well pump and solar system to generate the energy (We're going GREEN!) $7,250
