IT MAKES US HUMBLE
A delightful way to spend five minutes and to get everything in perspective.

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN…..
Are you feeling out of sorts, more tired and unmotivated lately. It could be because of the following:
The energies grow stronger as the season slips toward Spring (Autumn in the southern hemisphere), and we approach the bridge between the Piscean and Aquarian Age. When we are between two ages, there is a great deal of light and less physical energy due to the oscillation between the two worlds.
It’s said there’s an opening between ages, which causes light and illumination to pour into the earth. With the alteration taking place in only 2 months, our bodies are not accustomed to the changing energies so we may feel tired or lack energy periodically.
Several planets in Pisces make the world feel like it’s moving backwards, with the sensation of energy working in the old way or a feeling of wanting to move forward by using our old skills, which work for a day or two before becoming exhausting. (Notice how energy level picks up when you listen to the higher self.) We’re moving forward into change, whether we want it or not. So it’s best to check in with the heart (often and deeply.)
The upcoming retrograde with Mercury will cause the usual re-examination of particular areas of life, and it brings chaos to travel, electronics and communications in general. Saturn’s retrograde, which ends in June, causes re-examination of old structures (personal and global.) It points to the parts of life that need changing and generally gives the discipline to move through the task.
The current aspects explain the odd sensation of not feeling settled or exactly sure about the future. There’s no question about it – we’ll definitely see big changes in economics, philosophy, science, religion and politics in the next few years. (How will it change? My guess is: we’re creating it as we go. Plan to envision what feels and looks wonderful for everyone!)
Undoubtedly, the world stays intense and unsettled for a while. There’s no question about this so it’s important to understand one of the basic laws of metaphysics. Even when our world is going crazy, we still have a choice.
By staying connected to love, holding visualizations and seeing a positive outcome, we can create it. (It’s best to stay focused on our personal worlds. When we feel better, we radiate the energy outwardly.) And it’s part of the big message: we are co-creators and it’s time to use our power.
Let’s create a beautiful world together.
From Julia Griffin, One True Self … 18 February 2013

STAR NEWS from Simone Mathews.
This information has come from Universal Life Tools Newsletter. Simone is talking about 18th and 19th February. It is still relevant even though it is now the 20th – as the frequencies are still current.
Currently Cygnus X-3 is aligned with our Earth & Sun… transmitting Cosmic, Gamma & Ultra-Violiet Rays.
Cygnus X-3 is a microquasar within the Swan Constellation (Cygnus), known as the Northern Cross, and represents the World Tree of Life in the Mayan Culture.
These high-frequency Cosmic ray emissions have the potential to quantum leap our DNA and accelerate human evolution.
I have updated my ‘Energy of 2013’ Article with more information about Cygnus X-3. I have also now included a link to NASA for more info about Cygnus X-3, as well as a short video showing the eliptical rotation of Cygnus X-3… quite stunning !!!
Read full article.
(Simone is going to be speaking at the Academy on 15th April – mark it in your diary!)

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
In a world of pure thoughts, there are no boundaries, hence no limits.
……
Dr. Wayne Dyer
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Health-STRESS RELIEF
When you have a problem and feel worried and you are thinking of it 24×7, your mind is trapped, limited and your world small. Your problem has become a prison. The key to unlock the door of this prison cell is meditation.
Set your mind free at least once a day. You could do a walking meditation simply listening to all the sounds around you and training your mind to feel your feet take every step.
Breathe consciously as you walk or sit. Take seven deep breaths, fill your lungs and feel the difference as new air, new life enters. Say to yourself, this day, this moment, I can make a difference. Know that you have come to the planet to do just that and that you are succeeding.
Drink plenty of clean, fresh water and ask the Angel of Water to wash away the thoughts that have been stressing you, with every mouthful. Put your Shungite crystal in the glass of water before you drink and know that the Shungite is cleansing your body and absorbing everything that you agree to release making room for new light to fill the cells of your body. 
If you can’t shake the feeling off of not being worthy, or not being loved, or unsafe, why not spray a Soul Colour Bottle. Ask for assistance on a Monday Night to find the colour that would help you the most at the moment and when you spray say: “Every cell in my body is filled with the song of Creation; the song of Love.” It has been proven by Kirlian photography that Soul Colour changes your aura instantly, leaving you less stressed and being able to feel the love that you are.

AFFIRMATION – say everyday.
If you need to increase your income, know that the energy you put out is more important than specific schemes for earning. Energy will attract opportunity…..
(So keep meditating and keep your energy high – Say everyday)
“The treasury of the Infinite is mine, for its wealth is energy and I AM ENERGY.”

In and Around the Academy
With Rosemary Butterworth
We all know the feeling of having a word on the tip of our tongue and not being able to remember it. Well, I feel like that today. I know that we all came here to make a difference – but what is that difference and how. I was ‘downloaded’ with the words, bridge the gap yesterday and I knew it referred to the gap between spiritual people and the rest of the world. So I asked the Academy meeting last night what is the proportion of spiritual people in Australia out of a population of 22 million. The concensus was about 1 million. So that is a huge gap to bridge.
The next question is therefore – what is the bridge made up of and who can build it?
I turn to the Keys of Enoch, Key 113 which I happened to read last Friday and I quote from page 125.
“the Jerusalem Command of the Order of Melchizedek will establish Academies of Light so as to prepare the vibratory fields of the spiritual body and mind for rapid changes so as not to be neutralized by the dying thought-forms of hatred.
The Academies of Light will train the mind to work with the Keys of Knowledge, using the seventh, eighth and ninth chakra triangulation to actualize a physical quantum leap beyond the imperfect karmic cycles of our solar spectrum known to the ancients as being influenced by the Solar Council.
These Academies of Light will be a global network of spiritual communities of the People of Light united and focused into one interplanetary government that will accept the Brotherhoods that serve the Office of the Christ.”
But first we need to train our mind, to be present, grateful and have loving thoughts. This then, will help bridge the gap and each one of us can make a difference. I look forward to seeing you next week.
