Discovering Life's Purpose

Looking everywhere for the purpose of life is like pushing on a door that actually opens inward in a very natural way. You can push forever and never open a door that opens inwardly! It’s really sad that many very enlightened people push so hard and finally end up only with glowing generalities about their life's purpose, which often don’t have any particular personal applications.

No spiritual guru, besides the one that resides within, can tell us our soul’s intention. However, the good news is that since it’s between us and our higher selves, we aren’t just objective bystanders trying to discover something objective. In fact, when it comes to ourselves, there really is no “objective” reality!

After pondering Soul’s intention my entire life, what I came up with was that our desires and preferences are about as good an indication of what direction we’re supposed to go in as we can get. If you think about it, the desires we had when we planned our life contract are probably very similar to the ones we feel most strongly today. So, instead of spending so much effort searching for some hidden meaning, maybe we should quit fighting ourselves and just give into our hearts desire.

Still, what about our higher purpose? This is where people get hung up. “I know what I want to do, but I want to know what I’m supposed to do?” I felt that way my entire life until a prelife channeled experience revealed what my higher self wanted for me for this lifetime. It was simple. My higher purpose is to help anchor the rising energy of the earth and those on it, so we can all get through this transition (which lasts from about the time I was born until about 5-6 years from now) as easily as possible.

When I asked how I could do that, the answer was basically to stay happy. When I’m happy, my energy is up and I’m fulfilling my higher purpose. How do I keep my energy up? That's the interesting part -- by trusting my deepest inclinations and doing what I want to do. Doing waht i want to do fulfills my personal purposes and staying in a positive, energetic frame of mind fulfills my higher purpose.

This isn’t a coincidence! Life isn’t the battle between good and evil that most of us were taught. Conflict is real. Still, the solution of killing all the bad guys is obviously an illusion. Learning to rise above dulaity is simply a matter of reconcillation and cooperation.

We all really need to find harmony within ourselves NOW and do our part to help create it within our society every day from now on if we hope manifest the new world we all want. We all know that the ancient Mayans forecasted that this new beginning would start after 2012. However, what many don’t know is that they also described how it would take place.

It’s not just a matter of astronomical alignments. They described this current cycle as a time when communication within ourselves and between all of us would become much better. They knew how this new level of honesty and communication would build the foundation for our new world.

Yet, even though this new foundation is part of our forseeable, natural human cycle, foundations don’t just lay themselves. We all need to learn to listen to our hearts and trust our divine desires.

Once you really accept that you are the originator of your purpose, you stop looking outside yourself for that answer. I’m probably a little lazier now than I used to be, but I think that’s part of the plan too. As we run out of energy to search the world for purpose, we discover that our answers are (as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz put it) “…in our backyard,” and “There’s no place like home!”

Caring, The Cure for Depression

A recent study discovered that the numbers of people on antideprressents has more than doubled in the last nine years: “About 6 percent of people were prescribed an antidepressant in 1996 -- 13 million people. This rose to...27 million people by 2005…”

Any guesses about how many people are on antidepressants this year? Any guesses about how many people would be on them if they could afford, or were more inclined, to seek professional care?

Today, most people see human reactions as either good or bad – constructive, or something to suppress. We all know that there are underlying causes, but there’s no time to think much about that. We have goals and responsibilities. So, we push on pretending we’re more machine than human.

The report goes on to say: “The rise in antidepressant prescriptions also is seen despite a series of public health warnings on use of antidepressant drugs beginning in 2003 after clinical trials showed they increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and teens.”

So, more people are depressed than ever before, and more people are turning to suicide as their final recourse. Sadly, this trend is most prevalent among children and teens. Is that the legacy we want to be remembered for?

We live in a world of individualists. We each have our own path, and for the most part we’re all walking it alone. Sure, we work and walk along with others, but when one falls by the wayside, we just focus harder on our goals. We have to! We have rent and mortgages – and suicidal kids to take care of.

We’ve all had some great successes! Yet lately, life just isn’t working the way it used to. At some point before antidepressant usage reaches 100% (of those who don’t opt out via suicide), we’re going to have to wake up to the shift back to the old, simpler priorities of really caring about those around us enough to stop what we’re doing and help – or at least show them that they’re not alone.

This may not seem relevant to those of us who are scrambling for survival right now. Everyone has important, personal reasons to keep doing their absolute best to make a way in this world! Still, while we do what we have to do, we also need to learn to shift our priorities and expand our awareness to the needs of others around us. When we do that, others might do the same and for us and we just may be on our way to building the world we all want.

Humans weren’t made to do everything all by themselves. Yet, that’s how we live. Communities break up and scatter as people move on to “better opportunities” elsewhere. Extended families split up, and lately most of our isolated little core families break up too! People grow apart and go their own ways and then need therapy, or at least antidepressants to keep on going.

Isn’t it maybe time to rethink this system? The problem is partly solving itself as kids move back in with their parents after they lose their jobs and/or marriages. Still, others aren’t so lucky and end up under overpasses. These are the humans that the system has used up and spit out, and it’s depressing to live in a world that does that no matter how we’re personally doing!

As we move into the 2012 era of endings and new beginnings, many of us are very aware of what we don’t want in our world anymore. Still, it may seem like a big leap of faith to begin building the foundation of our new world by taking our attention off of our personal priorities and giving it to those around us.

Yet, as we each do what we have to every day, it might be worth investing a little conscious attention on the needs of others. It doesn’t take any time at all to really look into the eyes of the person who’s talking to you. It just takes a minute to really listen and care.

Community is built one conversation and one concern at a time. It’s not really that hard, and reaching out is a proven cure for depression. Besides, those caring conversations may very well end up saving lives – maybe even your own.

Love & Guidance from Mother Earth

When we channeled a few days ago, Rasha tried to reassure me about the future. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten myself in a predicament again where there isn’t anything concrete just around the corner he could point to as a positive development to alleviate my concerns. He ended up reminding me of the “new dimension” that’s developing.

Even though I keep getting glimpses of it and how things will be when we cross over to it with Mother Earth, it still seems like a remote possibility when I come back to my logical mind. In actuality, I can’t dismiss the visions I keep getting about it, but not really knowing why such a thing would happen, keeps throwing me back into a reliance on my human consciousness. Still, that question of why such a thing would happen has been hanging around in my mind for a while now, and yesterday Mother Earth made herself known and felt deeply to help explain it.

I’ve only had a few conscious contacts with that great soul. Usually, when I think of her and wish we could talk, I sense her all over the world scanning and experiencing the emotions of her people. I’m just one – like one ant in a colony of 6.8 Billion! Yet, on several occasions now her focus has found me. We’ll blend a little, and she’ll share images and feelings with me.

Yesterday, she came to answer my discouragement with her great happiness and relief to be so close to the ascension that can save us all! Even as I say that, she reminds me that most will probably not choose to make such a drastic shift. Still, everyone’s lives will be better by the time the shift comes. (I write about how and why in Looking, Seeing & Knowing.”) Still, that’s not the point for today.

Mother Earth came to share her joy and some images to put the state of the world in perspective for me, and I’d like to try to pass some of that on to you. Still, before I share the individual earth images, I want to try to convey the first image of Mother Earth I got, because after it was all over, that’s still the most powerful of them all.

We know that Mother Earth isn’t really a woman, but that’s how she presented herself to me. Her energies coalesced from all over the globe manifesting into a beautiful, energetic, greatly excited and delighted woman in her 30s-40s. Still, as I continue to contemplate the experience a day later, the single prayer that reaches up out of all of my confusion is that my life be guided in harmony with her vision and that I might somehow grow to reflect her great joy.

My first question after seeing her like this was “Why…?”
She planted the image and excitement of the pilgrims venturing out to the new world. She reminded me how I felt after graduating high school and then college. She showed me how I looked and inspiration and infinite hope I felt when I got married the first time. With those great transitions in mind, she showed me an image of the actual event that excites her right now.

First, I saw her showering in a sparkling light that washed away the negativity she carried. This is currently lightening her load each day, and would explain her boundless joy. Still, her joy is for us too. She showed me how people will focus on her sparkling presence after she’s been cleansed of all the negativity she’s taken on over the past 15,000 years or so. I saw how people will focus on the luminous, twinkling new reality and just walk through into to a new world once she had gotten settled and solid again.

I asked how she saw the condition of the world right now. She replied by showing me scenes of largely peaceful civilizations during the last 100 years and comparing them to scenes throughout the last 5000 years when pockets of peace were the exception. Yet, as I pondered the progress we’ve made, she showed me scenes of situations that hurt her heart the most: Cold, calculated cruelty to animals and calloused disregard of the needs of children.

I was impressed by how much these issues bother her. Then, she showed me the progress we’re making in learning to see the true motives of our leaders. Mass realization of how public opinion has been manipulated will undoubtedly cause chaos before too long. Still, purging that popular illusion will be like untying a huge weight from the consciousness of the world’s people, so we can rise like balloons above all the troubles we’ve known for so long.

Many images of progress of the grand plan floated through my mind as the beautiful and deeply encouraging presence of Mother Earth looked on. I hope I’ve shared the ones that best describe the general situation we all face moving into and through the “ending times” of 2012. Still, each of our relationships to life and the earth is a personal one, and a personal understanding simply has to involve a personal experience.

Mother Earth wants me to assure you that such a personal experience is as easy as walking on the ground with awareness of the life that courses under our feet. Seeing what she sees is as simple as looking into the eyes of those around us with love and acceptance. We are in the midst of a tremendously exciting shift that we may never intellectually understand. Still, a working understanding of the miracle of ascension is as easy as giving or accepting a hug with an open heart.

This great smiling soul ended with this instruction for all of us: “Work on it.”
Pass the word: It’s time to take shelter in our heart.

Many Blessings and hugs,

Hunt

Life Choices & Changes

Danna sat down to start to go into a trance so she could channel, and instantly a powerful, chuckling voice boomed, “Hello Hunt!”

I said, “Okay. Last time you seemed a little more enthusiastic and energetic than usual, and this time you definitely are. What’s going on?”

A while back, we introduced Rasha as a holy man who lived thousands of years ago in the lower Himalayas. It seems that although he was a previous incarnation of Billy, Danna’s brother, Billy had actually split off to go another direction. A couple months ago, I had a vision of Billy saying goodbye to Danna, saying that she doesn’t need him anymore and he had other places to go. I asked about that in channeling, and Billy confirmed that what I had seen had actually occurred, but then I didn’t get any more info on it. Anyway, that’s all background to help you understand Rasha’s response: “Billy has moved on and is preparing to get reborn.”

Rasha reassured me that he wasn’t ever going to be reborn into a place where we couldn't continue to contact him. Then, we went into the other issues like Danna’s changing life contract.

About a month ago, she was diagnosed with a large malignant, inoperable brain tumor. The surgeon who did the biopsy originally gave her three months to two years. However, instantly some strange things started happening.

My daughter made a call about Danna to my son in NC, while she was in Missoula. The strange thing is tho that the phone she made that call from was with Danna and me -- 4+ hours away from where my daughter was at the time of the call.

Noel doesn’t remember making that call. Still, my son’s answering machine recorded it and he could hear me talking in the background. The whole thing was very siginificant but totally impossible to explain in normal 3D reality terms! Still, we have proof of this strangeness since the answering machine recorded it and showed where it came from.

However, that was just one of the strange occurances around Danna's new health issue. When Rasha was trying to convince me to meditate more, he used Danna’s first doctor as an example. He said, “Dr James prays everyday before going to work. That’s why he knew what to check out when Danna came in.”

When I told Danna this, she told me that Dr James had told her he had tried to call her before she came in. He tried to call our house and her daughter’s house, and didn’t get an answer either place. However, that's also really strange because both of us were home at the time. Also, her daughter has an answering machine, and we had voice mail at the time that was always on when we didn't pick up the phone.

Danna did go in the next day though, so the doctor ran the CAT scan and immediately begin treatment. However, it seems that he didn’t get through when he called because she needed to go through the experience just the way it happened in order (as Rasha put it), “to prepare her for her new life and for the new world. Danna has a new contract with life now.” Right after Rasha said that, he smiled and told me about all the guides and loved ones who were cheering and agreeing with him.

Rasha brought up the “New World,” calling it a “new dimension” at least once, reinforcing my hope for a permanent way out of some really irritating 3D issues. However, he also spoke directly about our challenges enough to make the point that we’re not going to be able to just sit down and wait for the new world to save us from life.

It is coming! Still, we need to make that new world come! We need to push on, even when it’s no fun any more -- in order to help the birth of faith and love in this world. Then, we’ll all enjoy a peace beyond our wildest hopes and other renewing rewards we all need so badly.

I guess that’s enough on that, but a BIG Thank you to all those who’ve sent prayers of support! Danna’s decision to stick around has been a direct result of her new realization of the love you’ve helped show her.


The Gift of New Sight

That’s actually the title of a Chapter in my book “Looking, Seeing & Knowing,” but today I’m using it to refer to hard evidence on exactly how our bodies are adapting to accommodate this new sight – which is making our shift to the new world possible.

I recently came across an article describing how crystals are forming on our pineal glands. Science calls this Biomineralization, and they think it’s a problem. Here are a few links to articles on that:
http://www.starweave.com/pinealsummary/

http://2012.tribe.net/thread/9408df1e-9547-4a16-94df-2e3c34c985c2
http://spiritlibrary.com/lightworker/beacons-of-light/pineal-crystals-no-more-secrets
http://psychedelicadventure.blogspot.com/2008/09/pineal-gland-dna-activation-2012.html
The bottom line on this development tho is that it’s not the problem science thinks it to be. “The crystals found on our pineal glands lately were first planted in our ethereal bodies as seed possibilities when our Mother Earth first asked to be let out of her 3D existence during the 1950s.”

The more the crystals grow, the more multidimensional our experience of life becomes. Telecommunication becomes easier and more reliable for instance. Also, the more we choose to use these new abilities, the more that builds up the crystal that allows us to see more clearly and know more for certain than we ever have before -- just in time for our new beginning after 2012!

Intention - the New Gravity

I went to a conference this last weekend, and I found one speaker especially interesting. Wayne Peterson is the author of Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Beings: Experiences of an American Diplomat with Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom. However, last weekend he was discussing the seven rays that define a person’s basic approach to life. In the process of that discussion, he slipped in a little info about our world’s cycles.

He said we’ve just completed a 500 year cycle, and a 5000 year. Yet what was most interesting to me is that he said that we’re two years into the seven year transition to our new beginning. That puts this new beginning in 2014 instead of 2012, which is what we’ve been saying all along, so I went up to talk to him afterwards. I quickly discovered that our visions were identical. He spoke briefly about the economic destruction in the West and the physical catastrophes in the East that he saw coming. He made a bunch of other generalities that I don’t even recall anymore.

I wasn’t prepared for him to be so open so completely about exactly what he saw in way of total destruction before the new beginning. What he said sounded analogous to an announcement to move slowly and calmly to the exits. “Don’t push and don’t panic.”

I wished I could have taken notes. Still, it seemed obvious that the info he quickly flew through was for confimation of our common vision and not for passing on to the general public. Discussions of destruction tend to be mind-numbing; and what we need now are as many functioning minds as possible.

So, I’m not going to go into the negative side of what we see either right now. Let’s just jump to the bottom line of the Big Picture: Now is the time to clean up our lives. There’s no need to do the anguishing, soul searching where you beat yourself up for not knowing your life’s purpose. A lot of enlightened people seem to go there instead of taking a more constructive direction.

Bottom line again: Maybe it’s time to do what you love and try to love everything you do. Focus on your love for others and go out of your way for them. Sometimes, that just means remaining silent and refocusing our thoughts on the highest good of all concerned.

Since the old cycles are already complete, the natural order is that the time to explore how many ways we can do things wrong has past. That 500 year and 5000 year cycle has been a good learning experience, but it’s time to move on! It’s time to prepare for the new beginning by filling ourselves with love, peace and concern for the greater good.

Still, time isn’t the issue, and making it one takes us in the wrong direction. Intention is the ONLY issue anymore. So, we’re supposed to try to do what’s right without don’t worry about getting it wrong. Learning about the power of Intention is the new reality we’re all moving into. It’s the new law of gravity!

If that sounds too illusive, and you want to know exactly what you’re supposed to do, here it is: We’re all supposed to do exactly what we have been doing, but with more love and trust.

Protection from Solar Max (more than just sunscreen needed)

Bottom line first: Weird weather and increasingly forceful winds are resulting from the increase in solar activity lately. Protection of our homes will probably become an issue at some point. However, the all-encompassing point here is that we need to learn to harmonize with Mother Earth, so we can create a peaceful place for ourselves and loved ones.

Rasha told us in channeling years ago that we needed to put crystals in all the corners of our home, and around it outside. We then envisioned circles of protection radiating from the crystals. We'll cleanse the ones in the house with water occasionally, and cleanse and empower them all regularly with our visualizations.

That’s step one. Visualizing the home as a part of the body of Mother Earth and regularly filling both with all the love we can is step two. Making sure we’re balanced and connected to the Earth and our source is step three, and I’m going to close with an excerpt from “Looking, Seeing & Knowing,” that summarizes how to do that. However first, a quick word about the cause of the big winds, which are going to only become more noticeable and troublesome as time goes on -- for the next ten years or so.

Worse than Wind

Rasha said that the solar activity that causes the big winds and all the increasingly weird weather around the world is the real danger. He says it’ll start knocking out communications fairly soon, and it’ll eventually fry electronic media. He said that it’s already starting to cause electronic interference with TVs, radios and wireless phones. According to Rasha, cell phones and wireless phones will start shocking people a little on occasion too.

The BIG Picture is that the charged solar winds hit the Earth’s magnetic field and cause all sort of problems including the big winds, weird weather and electronic interference, which could play havoc with most of our modern systems. The interesting thing here is that the Earth is not the only body that has magnetic fields.

Each of us has a similar field around our bodies. When the earth’s magnetic field drops, our fields tend to drop. With the loss of some of our magnetism, we also lose some of our mental acuity. The magnetic field around our body and our mental faculties have also been proven to become lower during times of extreme stress. Anger, fear etc., lowers our magnetic field of protection.

On the other hand, it’s also been demonstrated that feelings of faith and happiness empowers our magnetic field. Positive feelings actually strength us, makes us smarter and more capable of dealing with whatever we have to deal with, AND it feeds the magnetic field of the Earth. The earth is connected to us just as we're connected to her.

We’ve all heard that Mother Earth needs our love. That doesn’t just mean “give a hoot and don’t pollute.” The happier and better balanced (emotionally and magnetically) we are, the more we help Mother Earth stay balanced. Or, from a more personal point of view: the happier and better balanced the people on Earth are, the less the solar storms are going to affect the Earth and everyone on it.

Lessons in Harmony (taken from Looking Seeing & Knowing)

“…here is a five step program to help you shift your awareness so you can be better aware of the shift and stay in harmony with it:

1. Spend as much time as possible outside. Try to relate to all you see in nature and all you know that’s below the surface. Declare yourself part of It. When we’re inside, our own creations take over our consciousness. These inside involvements and creations may comprise our individual path in life. However, they need to be put in their place if we hope to secure our niche in Nature as she lightens her load in preparation for ascension.

2. Avoid opinions and judgments. We all want things to be as easy and comfortable as possible, and we all think we know how that should happen. However, Mother Earth is running this show, and she has her own agenda. Trust the unseen order and know that Mother knows best. Work on detachment from preferences especially from self-indulgent activities. Rest is a priority that Nature understands, but when we’re expected to give up our plans, we need to give them up freely, trusting the Earth and the Universe to provide all that’s really necessary.

Also, try to see life from the viewpoint of the family, friends and foes around you. Those who are cemented into one viewpoint won’t be prepared to offer the love and understanding to others which a unity consciousness demands. Nor will they be prepared to let go of their known world and accept the coming massive changes.

3. Simplify. Spend time and attention on those with whom you feel the strongest bonds. Simplify your thoughts about these people –forget their faults and focus on the love. Simplify your activities, spending all the time you can with those you love and doing things which bring you closer to the Earth. Eat simpler. Be simpler.

4. Gratitude. If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank you,” that would suffice. Meister Eckart

Gratitude can make you happy and flexible and, incidentally, help you catch the ascension bus when it comes along. Work on cultivating a feeling of constant gratitude for the infinite blessings of Nature, no matter what is happening in your outer life. Express this gratitude whenever possible, and hold all complaints until your silence extinguishes them.

5. Expect to be the person you’ve always wanted to be. Just as we prepare to give up our personal comforts and preferences, we need to give up all we think we know about our limitations. The whole world is changing, and we ARE changing with it.

Now go back to Number One and review the program. Promise yourself and Mother Nature to spend at least a little time each day outside where you’ll surrender your priorities to her higher purpose. While you’re out there, reexamine your commitments with a focus on your bond to your loved ones and Mother Earth. Let your attention to those things in life that belittle you fall away as you gather yourself around the simple things, which really matter.

Feel gratitude and express thanks in every way you can for your ability to stand in Nature and to stand in your truth. Know that this is who you are as an individual and as part of the ascending Earth. Let love and gratitude fill your thoughts and feelings.

Rasha’s quick answer for a busy world where dropping magnetism may make remembering even five steps too difficult, was to “Live in the heart chakra,” (the heart of the heart) and always “come from a place of love.”
What we feel is what we are. Feel love and get to where you feel and know nature. Feel simple, and simply feel gratitude for the beauty of nature and developing new order.

Blessings and hugs,

Hunt

Praying, Pondering, & Channeling

When I was a little boy of nine years old, I started praying very sincerely after my father died. I asked why he had to die, and over the next year or so, I ending up asking why everything else in the universe happened. If I didn’t immediately get answers, I’d have them when I woke up in the morning.

One day, I wondered what God looked like, and like all of the rest of my questions, I got an answer. I saw him as a stocky, dark haired man with a short dark beard. About a dozen years later, I happened to find a picture of this man. I thought I was praying to God all that time, but the picture said it was of an ancient Tibetan master by the name of Rebazar Tarz.

Over the years (decades), I began to question that experience, but when I met and married a woman who channels, I asked in channeling if that person I prayed to was really Rebazar. Rasha confirmed that he was. He added that this Tibetan master still checks in on me now and then.

My question is this: Do we really know who we’re talking to when we pray or ponder? We assume we’re talking to God or ourselves. Still, do you really know who that voice in your head is? Most everyone assumes they know the answer to that. Some say with conviction that they go "right to the source" and pray to God. Others are proud of their own intuition.

We all have to assume we know what’s going on or we’d go a little crazy. Still, I’d venture to say that no matter what we think, we don’t really know what’s actually happening most of the time. We can’t usually figure out why this world works the way it does let alone whose helping us when we think we’re pondering or praying all by ourselves.
