The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth

Introduction From Nicholas Mann

In the wake of the failed Copenhagen climate talks, Bolivian President Evo Morales put in a call to action by hosting the "World People's Conference on Climate Change" in the heart of Bolivia's Andes Mountains. Thirty-one-thousand people, from one hundred and forty countries, along with ministers and officials from forty eight different governments, united to share ideas and come to workable terms with the single most important issue of our lifetime: If the human race is to survive, how must we rethink our relationship to Mother Earth and how can we cease provoking irreparable harm to our environment?

In addition to vowing to push for proposals that keep fossil fuels in the ground, protect Indigenous rights, and reject predatory policies that only make matters worse, this diverse mixture of people asked questions that have been largely ignored at the international conferences. Understanding that it's high time we took Mother Earth's needs and wants into consideration, attendees at the World's People's Conference on Climate Change drew up a "Universal Declaration of Rights for Mother Earth".

The following document arrived on our desk on "Earth Day". We invite you to read it and decide for yourself if it is a sign that humanity really is beginning to wake up.

World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth

Working Group 3: draft February 2010

We, the peoples of Earth:

Gratefully acknowledging that Mother Earth gives us life, nourishes and teaches us, and provides us with all that we need to live well;

Recognizing that Mother Earth is an indivisible community of diverse and interdependent beings with whom we share a common destiny and to whom we must relate in ways that benefit Mother Earth;

Acknowledging that by attempting to dominate and exploit Mother Earth and other beings, humans have caused severe destruction, degradation and disruption of the life-sustaining communities, processes and balances of Mother Earth which now threatens the wellbeing and existence of many beings;

Conscious that this destruction is also harmful to our inner wellbeing and is offensive to the many faiths, wisdom traditions and indigenous cultures for whom Mother Earth is sacred;

Acutely conscious of the critical importance and urgency of taking decisive, collective action to prevent humans causing climate change and other impacts on Mother Earth that threaten the wellbeing and survival of humans and other beings;

Accepting our responsibility to one another, future generations and Mother Earth to heal the damage caused by humans and to pass on to future generations values, traditions, and institutions that support the flourishing of Mother Earth;

convinced that in order for communities of humans and other beings to flourish we must establish systems for governing human behavior that recognize the inalienable rights of Mother Earth and of all beings that are part of her;

Convinced that the fundamental freedoms and rights of Mother Earth and of all beings should be protected by the rule of law, and that the corresponding duties of human beings to respect and defend these rights and freedoms should be enforced by law;

proclaim this Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth to complement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to serve as a common standard by which the conduct of all human beings, organizations, and cultures can be guided and assessed; and

pledge ourselves to cooperate with other human communities, public and private organizations, governments, and the United Nations, to secure the universal and effective recognition and observance of the fundamental freedoms, rights and duties enshrined in this Declaration, among all the peoples, cultures and states of Earth.

Article 1 Fundamental rights, freedoms and duties

Wouldn't it be great if all our world governments would realize that they are actually to serve the people and not special interest groups or themselves?!

Li Lan

I am sending this to a number of friends and that includes conservatives, liberals, and everybody in between. Even though we disagree on a number of issues, I count all of you as friends. My friend and neighbor wants to promote a "Congressional Reform Act of 2010".. It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights..

I know many of you will say, "this is impossible". Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.

We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American heroes.

Thanks,
Dick

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.

A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

2. No Tenure / No Pension:

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, server your term(s), then go home and back to work.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work..

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

7. Congress must equally abide by laws they impose on the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work..

If you agree with the above, pass it on to some of your contacts. If not, just delete.

Sanity, what is Sane / insane?

2010-02-11T21:47:00.000-08:00

Hank & I were talking, on the way home in rush hour on the freeway, and more than one person rushed past us weaving in and out of different lanes in traffic ...obviously in a hurry to go somewhere...home we think...

Hank made a comment to the effect that he used to do the same when he was younger...just to get home a few minutes faster...just a few minutes faster to get home to his "real" life, versus his "work" life. And that one just gets into the habit of dividing the day into "real" versus "work"....

That led to the observation that that's pretty schizo...most people (not the workaholics who only have a work life...) lead 2 lives, a "work" life and a "home/real" life. That's pretty insane right?!?

And since they are in the majority, that means that the majority of Earth are insane, right?!?

But if the majority are insane but don't realize it, and looks askance at the rest of the minorities; who feel that the life the majorities are leading are insane; as insane.

Then the questions are:
Who is sane? who is insane? and What is Sanity?

hmmm....and how do you think this relates to the state of the world...

the Importance of Vitamin D

Hank went to the doctor afew weeks ago and got his lab results back and he is really vitamin D deficient.

He is getting a script for 50,000 unit -1 every monday & thursday!

When I heard that he was deficient -before we picked up his prescription, I fed him1500units, and he felt immediately better..

he wobbled less, and his legs felt stronger...less dizzy...

he had been depressed, fatiqued all the time...didn't sleep well...

I get that his Absorption/Utilisation mechanism is not working right... am working on it...

Before, this last few months, he couldn't walk a straight line ...good thing he never gets stoppped by a cop, he couldn't walk a straight line if you paid him...

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/02/23/vitamin-d-deficiency-part-one.aspx

You might think about checking your Vitamin D level ...

Most D3 (Cholecalciferol) and you want only D3 - not D2 comes in 400units per cap in fish oil. with vitamin A added. (you have to drink a quart of milk to get 400units worth of Vitamin D...)

Most people need an average of between 3000unit/5000units per day. Your doctor may not be aware of the latest research and /or your insurance may not pay for the blood test...But ask anyway. Read the Mercola article at the link above to for the right blood test.

The Mercola article also tells you about the right UV type that you need and how to get the right kind/amount of sunlight one needs for the body to produce Vitamin D3. As one gets older, the body's ability to produce/and or absorb vitamin D is diminished. and supplementation is needed.(Hank is 67...)

One way to check if you have enough is to check with your body. Buy some Vitamin D3 and read how many units are in each cap. Then take one to let your body feel it, give it time to absorb it. Then kinesiology self test it to check how many units your body wants/needs per 24 hr period. check each day as the amount may fluctuate (as with all supplements...). If you are deficient, then you may need higher levels for a while until your body has recovered to a normal (for you) level then the amount you need for daily maintenance may lower.

As there are also so many diferent brands etc of Vitamin D, kinesiology self test in the store by asking to be connected to your Body, Higher Self and your healing team, then taking one brand at a time, reading the contents details label, then ask your Team (ie your Higher Self, Body and Medical/Healing team leader) which brand would be the best for you.

If you need higher level of Vitamin D3 you need to be careful as Vitamin A is often paired with Vitamin D to enhance absorbtion. D needs a certain amount of A for the body to absorb and utilise it. look for Vitamin D3 as a stand alone cap in the higher units. too much D3 and/or Vitamin A can be toxic! so be careful...Too little is bad, and too much is also bad...

If you have trouble losing weight, you might want to read the article in the Link below:

Hope this helps you too...

Li Lan's Healing Technologies - Matrix Plus (M+) and Modules

2010-01-21T17:49:00.000-08:00

For those of you who read my blog but have never been to my website, I'd like to introduce here the latest of my healing technologies and modalities...

Matrix Plus (M+)

Matrix Plus (M+) is a synthesis of the MSST technology with techniques and

methods from Matrix Energetics which Li Lan evolved with her Quantum Angels andother "Brotherhood/Sisterhood" guides after studying Matrix Energetics.

M+ creates and transforms reality at the quantum level.

M+ is incredibly Powerful and can affect seemlingly miraculous results, sometimes manifesting instantly!

M+ is for all aspects of life. It has practical applications for everyday life as well as for those deep seated issues and themes in your life.

M+ is excellent for physical issues whether chronic or acute.

M+ is difficult to describe but incredible to experience!

Matrix Plus (M+) Sessions:

In a M+ session, we first connect to you, your higher Self, the M+ team guides and Quantum Angels.Through conversation as to what it is you desire to deal with, we then apply the M+ techniques to create a state by which the waveform can collapse and you enter into a non-consensus reality in which the product of your imagined/desired outcome can encode and imprint on your consciousness in a way that observable changes and transformation can materialize.Next, through feedback, we/you notice/observe what has changed or shifted.The session ends when we "feel" complete.

Another part of the M+ technology are the Modules...

Modules from Li Lan
The energies that have been streaming in from the Galactic Center has been
slamming /shifting/and pushing us all to our limits. For some, the effects have stressed our grid connections to the earth and have caused breakages and blockages to our grid connections.

The info below are excerpts from my website:

"Much has changed and evolved since this was written. Many new Energetic grids and Matrices have been manifested and activated in the Earth. Most Lightworkers and many of the general population of the Earth are now connected to many of these grids and Matrices. They affect our lives and health in deep ways. Some that are well known are the grids and Matrices formed by Ley lines, the Songlines, Axiatonal Lines, the Christ Conciousness grid, the Unity and Paradise grids ...

As the increasing energy bombardment of the Earth gathers speed and intensity, Human bodies are reacting under the stress and strain, resulting in blockages and breaks and tears etc...in the connections to various Earth grids creating illness and imbalances in the bodies.

The ones that show up the most with damage to them in the connections to human bodies are some that are not so well known. They are:

The Fear Matrix - The Fear Matrix was established ages ago (circa 2-3 hundred thousand years ago at the last great "Fall" by those wished to keep the Earth in thrall and lower vibration and frequency levels). Every human is connected to this Matrix by the time they are socialized and have experienced strong fear vibrations, at the very latest they are connected at Puberty when the rising Kundalini activates the Emotional Body fear programs carried over from previous lifetimes. Every time fear is experienced in a human body, that fear energy is feed into this matrix and strengthens this Matrix which in turn strengthens the experience of fear in that human. It is a never ending circuit of negative energy feeding on negative energy.

Human beings normally have a threshold that can handle fear in moderate amounts without being overwhelmed by it. In those beings who hold an excessive amount of Fear in their bodies; physical, emotional, and mental bodies;those connections begin to exponentially increase the connections in their bodies to the Fear Matrix. Then these connections begin to manifest themselves as illness and dis-ease.

It is extremely important to eliminate all connections to the Fear Matrix at this time!!! When we no longer carry the energies of Fear in our Bodies, we will stop resonating to the Fear vibrations around us, and can see clearly that Fear is an illusion designed to keep us at lower rates of vibration! Then we can stop reacting in irrational and irresponsible ways and stop generating more Fear.

The Love Grid/Matrix - First of all, understand that Divine Unconditional Love is an energy, a pure energy that is the building block of all that is. It is not an emotion, though we generally associate it with emotions. This Love Grid/Matrix forms a circulatory system in the Earth to replenish the Earth- to allow Her to regenerate and rebuild herself. Every Human being on this planet is connected to this grid. This grid connection was not very strong in the past, and as Earth was reconnected to the Galactic Grids since the Harmonic Convergence, this grid connection has been strengthened. A Human Being's "LifeForce" is a stepped down version of the regenerative power of Divine Unconditional Love.

Many Lightworkers are discovering that their energies are low, they are not recuperating as fast as they used to (not just us chronologically challenged ones...) from exertion or illnesses. You eat but are not replenished (not just from the eating the de-natured industrially processed foods either...).

It is a sign that your connections to the Love Grid is

1. either not strong enough, or that there are problems with your grid connections

2. your "Love Quotient" is low. the "Love Quotient" like the "Light Quotient" and "Lifeforce Quotient", is the amount of Love /Light/Lifeforce that your specific body has, is able to hold, and use. A normal % is at least 50% and higher. Lower than 50% and the body does not have enough to work with to maintain Health and vitality.

Maintaining optimal connections to the Love Grid is essential at this time as we are now in a transitional state of converting from using "Lifeforce" power to the higher octane of pure "Love" power (sort of the new Hybrid...).

The "Recycling" Grid/Matrix - When Earth was conceived, it was planned and incorporated into the blueprint that there would be a system of "waste" disposal that would not only fulfill that purpose but that would also fulfill the energy exchange of the Law of Give and Take. (What you give, you will get back, what you take, you will have to give back.)

It was foreseen that Humans, at certain times in this School of Evolution on Earth, would not be able to deal with all the stresses that certain mental and emotional energies would cause them.

The "Recycling Grid" was designed to connect to all who lived on Earth.

The Earth provides for us the means to live and prosper - the water, the soil to grow crops, etc...

The grid connection would take all the excess of human "pain" , mental and emotional distress a each being can handle, and "recycles" them in a process that transmutes these energies into Divine Unconditional Love that would be then transferred back to Earth to replenish her.

During the time of the "Fall" this recycling system was damaged. As the population was low , this did not cause undue problems.

In the last hundreds of years, the population grew so large so rapidly, the results from the damage to the grid began to show up. The system began to back up through the grid connections into human bodies.(Imagine a stopped up toilet overflowing...)

All the excess "stuff" became too much to handle. That is when large groups of beings volunteered to "take on" stuff for other people and hold it for them until they were able to handle it themselves. Many Lightworkers have past lives taking on and holding pain for others.

This worked until the last fifty years when the population reached an all time high and the Fear Matrix reached an unprecedented mass. The back up damage to humans was so extensive that even those who specialized in holding pain could not cope.

In 2003, the damage to the Recycling Grid was repaired and even upgraded. The grid cannot be damaged again or tapered with.

However, the connections to human bodies could still experience damage due to various causes and influences.

You could have damage to your Recycling Grid connections if:

1. You are constantly in physical, emotional, or mental pain and nothing works or works for long. The pain seems to be increasing instead of diminishing.

2. You have done the Soul Contract Addendum Change on Pain, and you are continuing to experience "Pain".

3. You are a "Painholder" and still stuck in the habit of taking on pain for others and are unable to release the pain you have taken on from others....

...It is recommended that you check with your Highest Guidance before going to other Healers to check that they are qualified and trained and experienced to do this kind of work. Not every healer is allowed to work with the Earth grid connections. They must have the necessary access and command codes to do that safely." Copyright Li Lan Chan© 2000 - 2009 -All Rights Reserved

I had previously developed the MSST Earth Grid Healing sessions. But since breakages and blockages occur more often than we like, and for those who know me, you know how I dislike repeatig things...so...I have been working on new Modules that are designed to track causes of damages and disconnects and to repair those problems automatically as they appear in the different grid connections to your Bodies.

If any of the descriptions above feel like it applies to you, then check with your guidance if maybe one of these Modules might be appropriate and helpful for you.

The three modules are:

Disconnection from the Fear Matrix Module
-automatically disconnects your bodies from the Fear Matrix
-repairs any damage caused by the connections to the Fear Matrix
-and automatically repeats all tasks twice a day in case of unconscious reconnection to the Fear Matrix.

Earth Recycling Grid Repair Module
-Tracks and repairs all damages to any of your Bodies caused by disruptions in your bodies's recycling grid connections.
-Repairs all damages to your connections to the Earth's Recycling Grids
-Automatically activate this module whenever disruptions in the Earth Recycling Grid connections to any and all Bodies occur.

Earth Love Grid Repair Module

-Tracks and repairs all damages to any of your Bodies caused by disruptions in your bodies's Love grid connections.
-Repairs all damages to your connections to the Earth's Love Grids

-Automatically activate this module whenever disruptions in the Earth Love Grid connections to any and all Bodies occur.

All modules include between 30 and 48 tasks. The effects of these modules are subtle yet powerful, the Bodies relax and are able to function in the way that they are meant to. Stress is relieved. And the best thing is that you only need to get it once! They work automatically and are designed to harmonize with each other to prevent overlapping and conflict of tasks.
The modules are downloaded, installed and activated during your sleep time. (Unless you are sensitive and/or would like to consciously experience the installation and activation of the module, in that case, you can make an email appointment for the exact time.)

And for those worried about the Swine Flu (or any flu for that matter), click here on M+ then click on Modules to see how my Viral Pandemic Module may help you.

If you are interested in receiving these modules, please email me starorchid@starorchid.net

Hope this informs you and look forward to your emails...

Dalai Lama on Goodness

2010-01-21T16:38:00.000-08:00

"Typically mass media presentations about world events overly emphasize negative events and negative phenomenon - killing, scandals, terrorism, etc. This sometimes lead to common perception of the people that this world is full of negative phenomenon, and there is almost no positive news or activities of human compassion or sense of caring. Younger generations exposed to such presentations will have less awareness of what the real world is about. There is a danger we get the feeling (unconsciously) that human nature is generally violent and aggressive.

The reality is there are widespread instances of positive phenomenon, kindness and human compassion going on but these are not commonly reported in the mass media except for significant events. We often take news of such positive activities for granted. That is quite normal.

There are basis of hope and ways to transform civilization to more goodness."

Coherence - It's All About the Heart

2010-01-20T23:21:00.000-08:00

Every thing tells us to be in our heart. All the Channelings and articles etc...

I've been doing practices with the EmWave gadget to bring more coherence into my heart brain connection and also to lower my blood pressure...(read article excerpt below - meant to inform not as advertisment for the Emwave gadget -my sister calls it bio-feedback on steroids...)

In the process of testing my blood pressure (with a wrist cuff) in conjunction with focused breathing techniques and concentration on my heart center, I've discovered some very interesting things.

When I concentrate with my breath in and out of my heart center on gratitude and thankfulness - feeling these feelings, my systolic (the upper numbers) values tend to go up while my diastolic (lower numbers) values tend to go down.

When I concentrate with my breath in and out of my heart center on what I call my Happy place - feeling happy feelings, my systolic (the upper numbers) values tend to go down while my diastolic (lower numbers) values tend to go up.

I wasn't able to find a space- feeling in my heart to able to move both values down at the same time...and my practice with the EmWave gadget trying to focus on these heart qualities just wasn't consistent enough, I was having a difficult time staying in the "Coherence zone".

Until I was guided to the http://eventtemples.com/ site and downloaded the
" The Rising Heart" paper and did the practice described in it. AMAZING is all I can say! Within 3 breaths I was in the "Coherence" zone with the the EmWave and was able to stay in the zone the whole time that I had alloted for the session. and measuring with my wrist cuff showed that my blood pressure dropped significately after doing the Practice from the Rising Heart with both values dropping together consistantly ..
Blew me away!
So I'm focused now on doing the Rising Heart Breath Practice as much as I can to entrain it to be automatic. Bringing myself back to it when I notice that I've strayed away from it.

This practice may not be for everyone so please check with your personal guidance...
I can also highly recommend the Living from the Heart Paper from the EventTemple site also.
I would include these papers here if I could but they are too long and would violate the copyright as they are in PDF format. so I can only encourage you to go to the Event Temples site - click on downloads and then on the 2 papers.

Be careful what you ask for, for ye shall receive! :)

The Science Behind emWave and Heart Rhythms

The heart is a primary generator of rhythmic patterns in the human body, and possesses a far more extensive communication system with the brain than do other major organs. In addition, the heart plays a particularly important role in the generation of emotion. With every heart beat, the heart transmits complex patterns of neurological, hormonal, pressure, and electromagnetic information to the brain and throughout the body. As a critical nodal point in many interacting systems - physiological, cognitive and emotional - the heart is uniquely positioned as a powerful entry point into the communication network that connects body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Doc Childre and the research team at the Institute of HeartMath (IHM) have shown that techniques which combine intentional heart focus with the generation of sustained positive feelings lead to a beneficial mode of physiological function they have termed psychophysiological coherence. Correlates of psychophysiological coherence include a sine wave-like pattern in the heart rhythms, increased heart-brain synchronization (alpha rhythms become more synchronized to the heart) and entrainment between heart rhythm patterns, respiration, blood pressure rhythms and other physiological systems. Although psychophysiological coherence is a natural state that can occur spontaneously while people are feeling genuine positive emotions and during sleep, sustained periods are generally rare.

During states of psychophysiological coherence, our inner systems function with a higher degree of synchronization, efficiency and harmony which correlates with improved emotional balance, quality of emotional experience, health, and cognitive performance. HeartMath studies conducted across diverse populations have associated increased psychophysiological coherence with reduced anxiety and depression, decreased physical symptoms negative effects of stress, enhanced immunity, reduced cortisol and increased DHEA.1-5 IHM has collaborated with Stanford University and other institutions in studies which have shown that heart centered techniques and psychophysiological coherence facilitate the body's healing processes and improve physical health outcomes. For example, improvements in clinical status have been demonstrated in individuals with hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma and AIDS.6-10

The emWave Personal Stress Reliever, is a unique heart rhythm coherence training device. It objectively monitors your heart rhythms and confirms when you are in the coherence mode. It helps you learn to self-generate coherence and track your progress. With practice you learn how to shift into coherence at will, even in difficult situations which previously would have drained your emotional vitality and buoyancy. You will readily see and experience changes in your heart rhythm patterns as you practice emotional stress management techniques. Your heart rhythms generally become less irregular, and sine wave-like as you send more heart-felt love and appreciation through your system.

I know it's been a long time since I blogged...where to start...
Ah yes...
The Dalai Lama...
He was amaaazing!!!

The turmoil in me began when he asked us to kneel down and take the Bodisattva Vow to stay until every last being on Earth has achieved Enlightenment.

That brought tears to my eyes as the conflict raged inside me - the desire to be of Service and the desire to "Go Home". This was not the first time I had taken this vow over the years, but this time I was really conflicted...

There had been a deep weariness in me - I've been "Here" for eons...was sooo ready for a long r&r "Home"...and I had promised to be here til the end...

That conflict collided with the fact that since i was a young child I had never been able to "see" myself past the age of 56 yrs old.
Drumroll.....
I had turned 56 in June last year...

The conflict lead my body to start a series of physical events to make it true...That lead to a wakeup call that took me to depression to despair and finally Renewal...

I have more energy now, and things are more synchronous, flowing...

Joy is creeping in on silent cat's feet, padding across my consciousness and Heart, nesting itself into my cells again...

I'm Home in my Heart ... Now...

Self Love

2009-08-24T16:10:00.000-07:00

Sometimes there are certain issues that go so deep that we can't even begin to fathom the depths of them without the feeling that we are drowning. Self Love is one of these issues, actually, it's probably the issue amongst Lightworkers.

We want to be loved, to feel that we are loved, that we are worthy of being loved. Yet we cannot allow ourselves to feel loved, because deep down inside we don't feel worthy. We cannot receive the love that is offered to us.

We look for love from every source outside of us, except where this problem really lies, inside of us. That we do not love ourselves, cannot love ourselves, do not know how to love ourselves. This causes a deep rift in our psyche that seems impossible to bridge.

I remember a time many years ago when I was still living in Germany, and was confronting this issue of worthiness and self love. I felt so torn, there was such a pressure in my chest, I felt like I was going crazy...

At that time, I was a member /teacher of the Sufi Order of the West (now called the Sufi Order International - founded by Hazrat Inayat Khan and headed back then by Pir Vilayat Khan -his son and succesor). My first husband - Dietrich and I led sufi meditation classes, I taught The Dances of Universal Peace (more commonly known back then as Sufi Dance) and were fully immersed in the teachings of the Sufi path of Hazrat Inayat Khan and Pir Vilayat.

One of the main Universal Sufi teachings is that God is Love, the One who Loves, and the One that is Loved, Love, Lover, and Beloved all in one. So there I was, in the throes of this Dark night of the Soul episode, when a healer friend in the Order said to me "How can you claim to love God if you do not love yourself?". "If I believed that God is everywhere, and in everything, then God is also in me. And if I do not love myself, then I am denying God in me, hence I do not love God."

Wow! That was like a lightening bolt that went through me! I immediately burst out in tears and couldn't stop crying for the longest time. Because the deepest longing from my earliest spiritual awareness was the wish / desire to be One with God! I live and breathe and have my being in God - as best I can...

If I did not love myself, then I was living a lie in claiming that I love God. This realization not only gave me permission to love myself, but made it a prerequisite to loving God! This Satori-like moment has stayed with me ever since. I offer this up to share with you dear reader and pray that this may also be a tool for you on your path.

Love & Blessings Li Lan

The story of how I came to Hazrat Inayat Khan's teaching and the sufi path, my time there, and how I left, I will save for another time...I will say that my time with my sufi teachers (in Body or not - Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Khan, Murshid Samuel Lewis, Reshad Feild) & their teachings, provided a strong spiritual foundation which still carries me forward today.(I was in the Sufi Order International from the age of 22 til I was 36/37 years old.)

Photon Belt Symptoms...

2009-08-21T14:47:00.000-07:00

In the Channeling from Maitreya Moving into a Higher Vibration part II, he lists Photon Belt symptoms and by golly, I've had almost all the symptoms at one point or another, sometimes days on end...But these last few months have been really hard!

Just don't judge yourself if you have one or any or all of the symptoms... It just means that you tend to stuff everything into your Body...(I'm a cancer, I tend to stuff everything into my Body and have a hard time letting go of anything...) It says nothing about how spiritual you are or how highly or lowly you're developed...

I've just got to get out of the habit of feeling /taking on everyone else's stuff...
habits are just as bad as addictions, cause you have to pay just as much attention, and you can slide back in just as easily... especially if it's things that we've done for ages/lifetimes/eons...I think the only difference is that we don't go into withdrawal with habits...

We need to have Compassion with ourselves...hard I know, but it is doable...
For those of you who are Healers, It's hard to work on yourself and much easier to work on someone else...thank the lord for Hank (my Husband), He just Matrix it and I'm better. So Find someone who you are comfortable and feel safe with, and ask them to help you with those symptoms. You don't have to suffer in silence anymore. Help is available! I'm available to help you...(go to my website

Our Body

2009-08-20T15:43:00.000-07:00

When I first started on the Spiritual Path hm...34 years ago (has it been that long? Am I that old?...) There was very much the feeling that the Body -I'm talking about the physical body here - was a distraction, a nuisance. I mean, you had to feed it, clean it, dress it...It had aches & pains or itches & twitches that kept you from focusing and concentrating when you were trying to meditate...It took up a lot of time and space and energy to take care of it...We even learned how to control our bodies -through yoga (remember those Asanas?...), martial arts etc...We were taught to disassociate ourselves from our bodies... Whole groups of us spent inordinate amounts of time programming : "I am not my body", "I am not my body", "I am not my body"....Actually, whole generations and lifetimes have spent time attempting to actualize this mantra.

Then at some point, at least in my life, the teaching evolved to "I am also my body". At this point, as we stopped denying our body, but it was an uncomfortable truce at best...Many treated their bodies as machines - Do as I say ! - and wondered why at some point their bodies broke down...remember tennis elbows, jogger's knees, carpal tunnel syndrome?...The "By god, this is my body, and it has better do what I want it to when I want it to" mentality was and still is, in part, rampant.
Then after the sessions I had at the Light Institute, I experienced that my Body has it's own consciousness and that it has it's own purpose and agendas! And through kinesiology self-testing that it will never lie to me. That the body is the vehicle that does the translation of the info (frequecies, signals, energies, light language etc...)in inter/intra dimensional communications. It is the Mental Body and mind that supplies the vocabulary, concepts etc...but it is the Body that does the actual translating. Wow! Who knew right?!

The Body is supposed to be our Partner! It's purpose is to provide us a vehicle to experience physical manifestation; not to be our slave, or machine. Our Body holds the sum total of every and all experiences and memories thereof from every lifetime; on earth and all planets, stored in our DNA and cellular memories -not just in our brains as science claims.

Then last year there came the revelation that we need to claim the Sovereignty over all our bodies :"Claiming the Sovereignty over all your Bodies lets others know that interfering in the perfect functioning of all your Bodies through Implants, Hooks & Cords etc... open them up to the same happening to them – as you have set your boundaries and stated to the Universe your wish. Like a land owner who has put up No Trespassing signs… No one who trespasses can claim that they did not know. Until you claim the Sovereignty over all your Bodies, you do not own them!!! They are open territory so to speak for any and all to stake a claim on/in."

So now the last key piece of info on the Body is that it is our Body that is transforming into the Light body! As our Light Quotient -Light Quotient is the ability of the Body to hold and carry light - increases, our cells slowly transmutes and transforms into a body that can live off of light. (read my blog from August, 18, 2009). Our body becomes more radiant, light(er), hence Light Body....(What has been perceived as the Light Body was in actuality the Etheric body transforming to a higher Frequency level so that the Blueprint for the Physical Body could be upgraded - which allows the Body to access an ever higher Light Quotient level.) For those who have chosen to Ascend in/with our Physical Body, the transformation of our Body into the Light Body is a necessity.

Let there Be Light, Light, Light...

2009-08-18T14:04:00.000-07:00

All the esoteric traditions have said that we are beings of light, and now science is catching up.
"your biophoton field can be viewed as a highly sophisticated computer that processes, stores and retrieves information that is then used to regulate your biological processes."
"Dr. Johanna Budwig from Germany has stated that live foods are electron-rich, and act as high-powered electron donors and "solar resonance fields" in your body to attract, store, and conduct the sun's energy in your body.
The greater your store of light energy, the greater the power of your overall electromagnetic field, and consequently the more energy is available for healing and maintenance of optimal health." Quotes from mercola .com
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/08/15/Your-Body-Literally-Glows-With-Light.aspx

What this tells us is that we are not only beings of light, we cannot live without it, and that we live off of light. (Some of us live off of Light more directly than others...)
So when our guides tell us that we need to spend time in sunlight for our bodies to receive information and energies, and codings that we need to survive the coming times, it is meant literally, and now science confirms why!

Now we know that our guides tell us to stand in our Light, and radiate our light that it is something that can be measured and doable, and provable! So Cool!!!

"A Human Being's "LifeForce" is a stepped down version of the regenerative power of Divine Unconditional Love.

Many Lightworkers are discovering that their energies are low, they are not recuperating as fast as they used to (not just us chronologically challenged ones...) from exertion or illnesses. You eat but are not replenished (not just from the eating the de-natured industrially processed foods either...). It is a sign that your connections to the Love Grid of the Earth is:
1. either not strong enough, or that there are problems with your grid connections.

http://starorchid.net/msst_healing.htm section on Love Grid /matrix

I can't wait for science to confirm that Love is the building block of all that is...and for the healing treatment of the future to be one where the patients get Light treatments, and Love treatments...(Shades of Lemurian / Atlantean healing technologies!) hm... coming full circle?! Wait! Aren't we already doing that?!
Yes we are !!!

OMG!!! Got Tickets to see the Dalai Lama!!!!

2009-08-16T16:11:00.000-07:00

OMG! I had written and requested tickets back last year to attend the Dali Lama's teachings -he'll be here in Long Beach Sept 25-26 - and then promptly forgot about it....time passed...nothing...more time passed...still nothing...
Then yesterday, Hank went to get the mail, and Voila! Tickets !!!!!!
I'm SOOOOOOO thrilled and excited!

For those who haven't heard me go on and on about the Dalai Lama...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had the privilege of meeting him in June 1988. I was then living in with my first husband and our son in Germany in the little University town of Tubingen.

The Comparative Religion faculty of the University had awarded the Dalai Lama the prestigious Dr. Leopold-Lucas-Prize, which is an annual prize which acknowledges outstanding achievements in the fields of theology, history of ideas, historiography and philosophy. In particular, it honours figures who have made considerable contributions to the furthering of relations between individuals and peoples and who have spread the idea of tolerance through their publications. (I mean who embodies that more than him?...)

Now, you have to understand that Tubingen is in Schwabia in South Western Germany, and very conservative. The Evangelical Theological Faculty being very Piatistic (very consevative and fundamental) and the Comparative Religion faculty more relaxed /liberal(in relations to the piatistic group).

So when the Comparative Religion faculty announced that they were awarding the DaLai Lama the Dr. Leopold-Lucas-Prize, well, what an uproar went up in Piatistic rank and files of the The Evangelical Theological Faculty- And I quote "How can you (imagine the fingers pointing at the "Liberals") give that prize to a Heathen (yep, they called him a Heathen!) and someone who considers himself a God (not true but there are Dalai Lama followers amongst the Tibetan who do, that being one of the traditional roles/perceptions of the Dalai Lama...).

Oh my word, the warring parties carried their battle cries to all the Local newspaper, and media...The letters to the editors were (this was before the internet and Blogs...) rampant with Slurs about the Dalai Lama with the other side countering with (something similar to this...can't remember verbatim...) "What dark ages are you living in...etc..."

The Dalai Lama graciously accepted to accept the award...and so with bated breath, the award day finally arrived and lo and behold, the Piatistic faculty members who had sworn "Hoch und Heilig - High and Holy" that they would not attend the award ceremony, in the end all their reserved seats - yep, were filled.

Through the auspices of our friend who was the head secretary of the University President, we got tickets to the Award ceremony, and for the private reception afterwards.

We watch the hall fill up with -if I remember right- about 2000 people, and the reserved faculty seats up near the stage filled up with self-righteous and indignant Evangelical Theological Faculty members. Hundreds of students who didn't get tickets were outside the hall where loud speakers had been set up. No one wanted to miss this occasion...Everyone also wanted to see what the Dalai Lama would do or say...It was the most excitement that the town had had in years!

The atmosphere inside the hall was tense and partly hostile -depending on how close you were to the hostile faculty members...

Then were speeches from various faculty members and the University President. Finally, the Dalai Lama was presented with the award. The The Evangelical Theological Faculty members refused to clapp, and refuse to stand up to honor him.

He then started his acceptance speech - which was one of the most amazing feats that I had ever witnessed. Within 10 minutes, through his presence, humility, and humor, the atmosphere in the hall changed -shifted totally!! The skeptical and hostile faculty were charmed in spite of themselves. When he finally left the stage, it was to a thunderous 10 minute (at least) longstanding ovation - everyone stood up this time - which only ended when the Dalai Lama insisted that as a simple monk, he lead a very boring life and needed to go to bed early as he had to get up very early for prayers and meditations.

I have to mention here his translator, a young german Blonde monk/lama who had been studying Tibetan Budhism. It was something to behold...normally, if your have a translator, the speaker only says 2-3 sentences, then stops to allow the translator to tranlate, then continues again for 2-3 sentences and so on... The Dalai Lama on the other hand, spoke for up to 3 minutes at a time in Tibetan, then expected the poor man to translate it all into German without fault. He even stopped him in the middle of the translation at several different points to correct him - in Tibetan - which the monk was attempting to translate into German...The monk was really straining and working hard. That was also an amazing experience!

Then on to the reception...

The Dalai Lama came in with several attending Lamas, said a few words and basically stood around... I waited a few moments debating with my self if I should disturb him or not , and by the time I talked my courage up to approach him, there was a short line of people who had decided to do the same thing. (it was a very small reception and he left after about a 1/2 hour.)

I went and stood in line, my friends behind me...finally I was standing face to face with him. He asked me where I was from (asians in Germany being a definate minority...) and what I was doing there. I stumbled my answers...
and then he asked me what he could do for me! Well, you didn't have to ask me twice, I had my prayer beads and asked him if he would bless them!

I handed them to him expecting that he would take them in his hand and bless them...But instead, he took my prayer bead and wrapped them around my hands and then wrapped his hands around mine!!!! closed his eyes and murmured something - felt like an eternity - and wished me all the best. OMD!!! (my girlfriend behind me in line asked for the same... and when we got home, she said that she was never going to wash her hands ever again!)

Standing in front of The Dalai Lama, one feels as if one is standing in front of the sun, feeling the warmth of it's radiation on one's face. His heart energy is so warm, you can literally feel it's radiation. He is the most "human" human being I have ever met in my life. There is a timelessness about him, a depth so great yet so intimate, so "human" and accessable. Hard to find words for it. I cherish that connection that was established that day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last night I checked on my prayerbeads...they need to be restrung...then I'm going to have to do a bunch of Mantras - Om Mani Padme Hum, or the Tibetan version below: Om Mani Peme Hung Hri

H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama's definition

"It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast... The first, Om [...] symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"

"The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.[...]"

"The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[...]"

"Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility[...]"

"Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"

-- H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, "Om Mani Padme Hum"

If you get a chance to go see the Dalai Lama, GO!
His energy is amazing, and he is not a young man anymore that he can keep up with the strenouous travel schedule that he has kept in the past. He is already traveling less and less.

my stream of consciousness today with a crop circle...

2009-08-15T14:08:00.000-07:00

my computer mouse keeps going out on me because the USB port is getting old...
I really dislike things that are design for obsolescence...the laptop is only 3 years old and is already a dinosaur...whatever happened to building to last...?

I sent out in the StarOrchid email Newsletter for tomorrow a picture of one of the new crop circles and I find, that as I look at it, that I feel balanced, warm, secure (for some reason), the germans have a word for it "wohl". Go to http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2009/waylandsmithy3/waylandsmithy2 009c.html to see more of it. Pay attention to the center and how it flows...

In the picture below is a man with a long pole - probably to stick his camera on to get those areal pictures that are not from a helicopter ...That's how big this circle is...I'd love to sit in this circle! Hm.... how do I bi-locate again...?!

Oh , if you refresh this page, you'll get a new Cheeky Quote...

I think "Upstairs" wanted me to channel more...hence the Blog...although what the Blog has to do with channeling is beyond me but that was the logic...so I suppose at some point, somebody from "Upstairs" will come through and it'll end up here... but if I channel it here, does that mean I will have to put it up on my website and Newsletter too? Feels like way too much work....Don't want to spend all day & night on the computer...spend way too much time as it is...

anyway...this is enough for today.
