The aim of this week’s newsletter is to remind you to bless all life.
FYI – Changing Tides
Wisdom from Caroline Myss
I would love to have to ability or the inclination of conscience that would allow me to block out the events occurring in the world right now. I could tell myself that just by not watching the news, I succeed in keeping the horror show of destruction and murder from my life – my quiet neighborhood – but that is just illusion….more illusion. The horror is global and it travels within the psychic field of life. Deep in the intuitive reaches of my soul, I am immersed in the sensation that the system of life itself has gone on alert – somehow humanity is coming close to losing its fundamental reverence for human life. That reverence is our essential touch stone with our humanity. A collective madness is manifesting in choices that are repeat performances of previous slaughters are rationalized to be sound judgments – once again. If ever a person wanted to understand the handiwork of darkness, one need only look at how acts of hatred are rationalized.
There is no reason for someone who identifies him or herself as a “conscious” much less “civilized” human being to ever participate in an act of hatred – ever. That first time you declare yourself to be “conscious”, you are saying that you have successfully rid yourself of those demons that give you permission to violate your own spiritual beliefs. You are saying that you have shed the option of violence because you see the folly in it, the uselessness of it – that indeed such acts only lead to more. You are saying that you have discovered more “conscious” resources within you with which you will now engage with life You are saying that you are strong enough, conscious enough to recognize when a demon – pressing upon the Victim or Martyr archetype in you – is talking you into betraying your higher instincts. You are telling yourself that your soul has the stamina to withstand the tsunamis of life without turning dark and hostile.
Human actions are increasingly becoming the antithesis of instinctual choices that lean in favor of humanity. We are growing increasingly frightened instead of increasingly open, loving, and global. We are moving in the opposite direction of where an “advanced” society should be headed. We are imploding. We can feel the tension building in the collective atmosphere – even if we cannot name that tension. An ordinary woman, interviewed for a comment on the Malaysian crash said, “What’s happening in our world?”… continue on Facebook.

From Trash to Treasure
We have no idea about the origins of this article however it appealed to us to know that everything can be transformed!
Visiting the Glass Beach today is a unique experience. What makes it even more remarkable are the sounds produced by the glass pebbles as they are being washed to and fro by the gentle waves.

In and Around the Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth
For all those people who missed the amazing Intuitive Numerologist Steven Murphy last Monday Night, don’t despair, you can catch him at his Psychic Workshop on Sunday July 27th at 10.00 at North Ryde RSL. (Click here to see flyer) What a wonderful gift this man has. For many years he had a popular radio show and on one night did 69 readings. Steven looks at the numbers of your birthday, year of birth etc. and then uses his intuition. At the end of Monday night he delighted us by doing a few readings for the people there. Not only was he very accurate but he was able to turn challenges into positive endings.
Steven told us that although we (the world) will have a difficult time in September and again in November, to remember that it all comes good in the end. His message was ‘don’t worry – be happy’.
In a ‘thank you email’, Steve said that he had a wonderful time and was thrilled with the lovely group that attended, he said it was very up close and personal like a family gathering and that he would like to speak again in the not too distant future.
Steve, thank you for your warm words; we are a family and you are, indeed, welcome back. So, over to you now Peggy, to make a date for Steve. I, personally, enjoyed the evening so much that I hope it will be sooner, rather than later.
For any of you in the Academy community who live around Mittagong or The Entrance Steve will be there too. He is doing 2 Live Platform Stage Shows:
The Diggers RSL – The Entrance – Fri Aug 22 AND Mittagong RSL-Mittagong – Fri Sept 12
Health – How To Stop Feeling Anxious
Anxiety is a behaviour, a response to life that we either learn or develop with good intentions…noosaconfidential.com.au/anxiety/
It comes from our old programming of survival. It is usually a response to a mindset that continually worries about the future or repeating the past. This produces a need to control and prevent a particular outcome.
In this present moment, right now, you are safe. A shark is not about to devour you, a truck is not veering out of control towards you. While you read this possibly you have a cuppa in your hand, (if not make one) and you sit comfortably.
In order to stop feeling anxious, we once again start with learning how to view and appreciate the present. But it takes practice and this practice of mindfulness begins with noticing. For how else can you change what you are thinking unless you first notice what thoughts are going through your head?
So here are three essential things in order to lessen anxiety in your body.
- Stop what you are doing and take three deep breaths. Breathe consciously – in through the nose and out through the mouth slowly.
- Notice what you have been thinking – ask yourself – do I think of this often? Is it true or am I simply worrying about something that has not happened. (Remember what we think creates your reality.) Change your thoughts to ones of gratitude and the serotonin gratitude produces replace the adrenalin.
- Go and stand in the sunshine for 3 minutes and breathe in the sunlight into every pore of your body. Let your body take in the Vitamin D from the sun. Feel it doing you good.

Sound Sensations!
John Butterworth &
Marc ‘Kundalini’ 
plus Joe Vandermeer
Our Sound nights are proving a wonderful success. As people turn up to lie down in the wonderful sacred geometry of the great hall and bliss out.
Although each sound night is facilitated by different masters of sound the effect on our bodies can be the same. The cells of our bodies tune in to beautiful sounds whether from dig gongs, drums, bowls, bells, voice and release toxins embedded thought patterns that no longer serve us and the result is that we feel rested relaxed and CLEANSED & REJUVENATED.
Just as a piano tuner is called in to tune up a Steinway to keep it playing in tune with creation so our bodies need to be “tuned up” so that each organ of our body knows it is supported and loved, knows it’s place in the scheme of things and is in Oneness with all creation.
The Masters of Sound on this night are John, Marc & Joe bathe you in extraordinary sound through Joe’s harmonics, Marc’s virtuoso didgeridoo, and John’s gongs, Tibetan bowls & bells, chimes, rainstick and ocean drum.
Bring a rug/blanket and pillow to lie down as you allow your body to be immersed in these wonderful therapeutic and consciousness-expanding sound waves.
Join us in the Great Hall at Mosman!

– Are you ready for Ascension/EnLIGHTenment?
Hear Rebecca:
- Demystify the often confusing spiritual journey
- Help you to understand where you are at and where you are heading
- Identify what to do when you get lost, confused or stuck on your journey
- HighLIGHT what to do next to raise your vibration to become your true self
Rebecca’s gift is to bring practicality and structure to high vibrational energies & wisdom.
This is a simple, clear and practical ‘roadmap for Ascension/enLIGHTenment’ channelled through Rebecca that is relevant to our lives in the 21st Century.
From Seeker to Master this evening demystifies the often confusing spiritual journey. The A.R.O.R.A pathway is your Ascension Spirit Guide!
In the past, Ascension/enLIGHTenment was thought to be for gurus and mystics – you had to be special and chosen or live a life of suffering! With the shifts in 2012, now is the time to LIVE them. With the A.R.O.R.A Pathway, we take the struggle and the mystery out of the spiritual Ascension/enLIGHTenment process. EVERYONE has this potential to become your Sovereign Self, that Self is the expanded, blissful, radiant being that you truly are.
Rebecca releases her new e-book with a giveaway to you, so be one of the first to experience A.R.O.R.A Pathway!
Rebecca is a regular person with a regular story. From a traumatic childhood to a primary school teacher to the life of a party girl in the corporate world, she awakened and set forth on a path of healing herself. In the process, she discovered her soul and has raised her vibration, now living in an ‘ascended’ state. Unbeknownst to her she has been living this journey of Ascension contained in A.R.O.R.A so that she can help and serve humanity in this evolutionary period on Earth. If she can do it, so can you!
Rebecca has a thriving Healing and Teaching Centre in Mosman, Sydney called SoultoSoul Healing & Teaching. She is a Soul Specialist, Advanced Lightworker and Multi-dimensional Teacher working directly with the realms of light. Rebecca helps you to raise your vibration & connect with all aspects of Soul to embrace your full Soul’s potential so that you can love yourself and your life. She is here to help humanity move into the Fifth Dimension and beyond through one-on-one healings, workshops and meditations.
