Nice Letters We Get

Thank you Maria!
I've had a reading from you in the past and wanted to thank you for your caring and honest delivery of the message. I also wanted to thank you for the newsletter, specifically this line: " Don't hang onto things that are not
Good for you just because you cannot see what's coming down the road.'

I'm supposed to be getting out of the military and have recently had second thoughts, even though ever reading tells me to get out. Anyhow, those words summed up what my dilemma is and gave me a clear sign as to what I need to do. I don't want to bog down your e-mail too much, but just wanted to thank you! D

Dear Maria;
Thank you for getting my celtic cross out to me so quickly! I love it and the book included too. I would like to order three more for my friends and daughters.
Anne

Dear Maria,
Thank you very much for your comprehensive and prompt reply, which provided excellent clarification of the issues for me. I realize that you are extremely busy, so it was very kind of you to respond so quickly. I have always benefited tremendously from your wise guidance and valuable insight. Have a nice evening!
Respectfully,
A

Jennifer wrote on Facebook:
"Maria, can't wait till you're in Detroit again. I'm wondering something about the moldavite necklaces. I wear mine all the time and have recently been in an office several times and noticed right away that the office has been fung shui. Does the moldavite absorb any of that energy? It seems like it's been absorbing that positive energy because the energy around me has felt different lately."

Dear Jennifer- Yes the gemstones absorb the energy in the environment; especially the moldavite since it is so powerful.

Maria;
After going down to a healing clinic in Louisville in June, I experienced a wonderful tool for healing. It's called a Oneness Blessing. Karen Rahn spoke to you a little about it. I will be initiated in becoming a Blessing giver in a few weeks. This began in India and generally is a laying of the hands on a person with blessings bestowed on he/she. The effects can be extraordinary or subtle...but usually something occurs. So, briefly, I'd like to change my talk for the conference to the Oneness Blessing. I've been studying this summer and have a pretty good grasp of it. I believe this with give great assistance to many. Karen, I believe, will be giving out blessings and so it might be good to explain the process.
Many blessings,
Michele

Dear Michelle; Consider it done. It's not changed on the main home page yet but we will make mention here that your Cosmic Connections Convention lecture will be on this beautiful topic. Make note everyone and make sure you get to this class!

"Heard you on KS95 this morning! I listen online and cranked it up as soon as I heard you! Great job! Always love hearing you. :) Have a good weekend."

Maria, I want you to know I have been thanking God the last two days for YOU and all the lovely people you brought into my life this past year. My life will never be the same and it is such a blessing to have you all in my life.

Yesterday I got the best news! I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, five years ago to the month I have struggled with it, denied it, fought it and the last 8 months accepted it. I am pleased to tell you the doctor said I now have my levels not just under control but have succeeded her expectations and to continue doing what ever it is I am doing. I did this all in six months not through extreme diet change but through prayers/meditation, Reiki, Affirmations. All the things I learned by coming to your conventions and learning these skills from your great group of Healers that I am forever grateful for.

Thank you and may God Bless You and your team of Angels with all and more of the many Blessings you bring to others.
Love you every day,
Kris

Loves Evolution - Chapter 3 - A Dreamers Journey

Your creation is clear therefore understand what is being created and where it is being created from. Cleansing the residue from your past lessons is first knowing where your Guilt stems from.

Where am I? Empty boxes are strewn across the floor of a lab, piled up in the corners are papers and clothes. Two large brown suitcases lie open on top of a desk. Flasks are filled with a light blue goo that slowly drips into each through a long glass tube. The drawers in all the filing cabinets along the wall jut out like a staircase to a grand hall. I stand in the doorway and watch the sheets of paper fly through the lab from a breeze that comes from an overhead air-conditioner. And before I can walk any further into the lab I see three men in white coats sitting around a small black table. On the back of one "scientist" I see the words in bold black lettering;

Guilt

I can hardly comprehend this moment with logic but with new eyes I see the code buried underneath the message. The other two scientists get up from their chairs and move in a way that I can see the other words written on their backs.

Fear and then Ego

I ponder what I see for a moment and suddenly like a magician pulling a rabbit out of the hat, finding out it's not in there, I see that these scientists are working on something strange; they are working on a "thought."

They stare at the object on the table rubbing their hands on the chins of the mask they have on. It is almost like the masks are ones worn at a ball or Mardi Gras. They are decorated with feathers and makeup fitting for emotions that can't show their true face. They all seem to be speaking to one another unable to decipher what it is their looking at. I step forward. They don't acknowledge me, perhaps because none of this is real, just something I am making up. They look frustrated yet compelled, uninterested but curious. There was a time in my life, of course, when these same masked scientists did not have to deliberate when a thought arose into my heart or mind. With a swift tide of emotions I felt, guilt or fear a weapon the Ego uses resourcefully. But somehow something has them stumped like looking over the horizon and not sure if it's wise to sail in that direction.

The Ego has a purpose, which is to justify who you are as an individual. (In-divide-dual). It is a fight one must partake in. Love has a purpose, which is to propel the evolution of a spirit while in a human body with human thoughts. Only the fearful can be Egoist because guilt is the fuel in which the fear strengthens the Ego. So it is Fear divided by Ego = Guilt.

I walk closer and closer. The scientists still don't bother with me. I approach the table and I see it, the thought and I let out a sigh because it is not really a thought. It is an emotion from God channeled into a feeling we can understand. It is a feeling the mind can send out to the body because the mind can side with either alliance- it can side with Heaven or Earth, but both are in me, in you, in those of us who have handed our will and freedom to something or rather someone named Guilt.

I wonder how this moment of life will unfold. I can sense their confusion so they rely on a pattern, a lesson the host has not fully learned.

"aha…what about that past relationships…we can use that against them."

"What about the time they did this…the past, if they can't forgive we will hold them forever."

"What if we just take control and tell them how imperfect they are…how about this…lets wash their hearts and then erase their memory."

…and that's it. That is the meaning of this. Yesterday I forgot what I did simply because I chose not to remember it. I forgot that I had the power to create all that comes to me. I forgot that I could create the instructor and the classmates. I forgot who I was.

And so they are forgetting. Guilt, fear and my nemesis, the Ego are all forgetting because what stands in their way is something that is beyond their comprehension. It is something called the Rise of Love. My thoughts, the ones they can no longer understand are the thoughts that propel my body and actions to care for others and take in two stray cats. It is the thoughts that propel me to not be right rather to be kind. It is the thoughts that ask me to bless even those I choose not to speak to.

I wonder if I am truly ready to be in a place that Rises and never falls. I have fallen too much in my life. It is time for me to Rise. I wish to experience a soul that Rises. I wonder if sending my thoughts through a lab where Ego, Guilt and Fear will decipher it is a wise decision. But it is here that I must process the growth along the path to spirit I have chosen to undertake. It is not easy because I am not only battling my Ego but all those I am surrounded with. But I have made this choice and it is I who will inspire those until God takes me away.

I step back from the table and everything becomes blurry, I am being pulled back, far back and suddenly I am back where I started…back…back…back.

Love is but a Dream

Astro News
By Maria Shaw

We're in the middle of Mercury retrograde now and until September 11th. The universe is forcing us to slow way down. This is the perfect period to redo things. In fact, anything with "re" in front of it, is perfect! For instance, re-edit, re-examine, refinance, re-contact, etc. It is not a good time to start anything new. If you do, it simply won't work out as planned or you'll find snags and mistakes. Mercury and Venus retrogrades are not good times to get married unless you are remarrying an ex spouse. Also don't sign any contracts or make large purchases you can't return. This mercury retro is in the sign of Virgo so it will be easy to forget important details. Cell phones, computers and other electronic equipment may malfunction or not work at all! For Virgo and Gemini, ruled by mercury, this could be a very tedious time. Pisces may experience lots of miscommunication in relationships. Aries could have troubles with co workers. Taurus? It's not a good time to gamble or make investments. Fun plans could change. Sagittarius could have delays or problems on the job front. Leos may make mistakes with money or see delays with expectant checks. Cancer could have car trouble. Capricorn will have delays with legal matters and long distance travel. Gemini will see things break around the house. Also do not put your house up for sale during a retrograde. You cannot stop your life for mercury retrograde but you can work around it. So be patient until the 12th and review and rethink your plans. It's a good time to reorganize too!
