Several years ago, shortly after arriving in my “then” new home, I held a Matrix class. It was a beautiful bay area spring day. A small group of students and I sat out back in my “jungle” within a little clearing. I led them through an intensive energy technique of meditation.

At one point, something compelled me to open my eyes. My student, Mark L., sat directly across from me.

I blinked again, and saw that Mark was still there. But the Buddha had been completely seated in him. I was impressed!

It made sense that Buddha would connect with Mark this way, as he was very Eastern oriented to Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. He regularly practiced and taught kundalini yoga, which he had learned from his master teacher.

Just a few months later in the middle of summer, I was teaching another Matrix class. We were doing table work outside. One table was set up on the grass near the right side fence under a huge conifer tree, later known to us as “Michael”, a name he gave us probably due to the protective qualities that he supplied for the rest of the yard---similar to Archangel Michael.

I got on the table---a rather rare event as I preferred to oversee and be available to the class as a whole, rather that be “out of commission” by being on the table. This time, however, it was a very small class with just my most advanced healers present---self-starters who didn’t really need me there once I had given them the technique! In fact, sometimes I would feel like a piece of the furniture! But my feeling is that I teach the teachers, so it is best if they don’t need me to be there every moment.

I felt the need this day to get on the table. I wanted to try out a linking technique to the Andromeda star system. I did the exercise Source had given me, and went into a deep state of meditation. As I placed my consciousness in that realm of space, I began to feel the energies of Quan Yin. She appeared to completely merge into me.

Harriet and Nadine came over to me and began to scan my auric field. Harriet was amazed because she could not determine any layers to my auric field anymore. It was all one field. I particularly paid attention to that observation as I knew her specialized skill in determining auric layers, a skill she honed by years of mastery of Chi Gong training.

Not too long after that, I had a psychic reading with a woman named Bea who came to one of my Basic Color healing classes in San Francisco. She had never met me before the class or had been to my house. She told me that the Buddha was wishing a statue of himself in my backyard. He also wanted water near him. She drew a pretty good likeness of the yard and pointed to where he wanted the statue to go. It was approximately 3—4 feet behind the spot where I had seen him appear in Mark. I realized then fully that Mark had been anchoring the energies of Buddha into the new location! The statue would be a reminder and become a sacred spot where one could visit. Concurrently, I realized that somehow I had anchored the Quan Yin energies also into the yard.

So, I went out and started looking for Buddha statues. I headed for East West Bookshop in Mountain View where there were many to choose from. I found a beautiful one in a green glaze ceramic. Next, I decided it should go into a pool or fountain of water. But where to find the appropriate one? This proved harder to find. After a few stores, I found myself not too far from the office passing near a Pottery Mart. In all the years I had lived in the area (about 19 at that point) I had never been to this store. I went in and scoured the place, but couldn’t find anything appropriate. An inner voice said to go out into the very back of the yard area. And there it was. A pinkish lotus shaped shell, the largest leftover piece from a 3-tiered fountain. And the price was very reasonable.

It was so heavy it took 3 men to lift it. But it holds water, candles, water lilies and the Buddha perfectly!

Next, I kept getting the feeling that Quan Yin also wanted her statue in the yard. I told her it would have to wait as I had just spent my budget on the Buddha statue and pond.

The very next day, an unexpected tithe arrived in the mail. More than enough for a statue! Having no doubt that the time was NOW, I began looking for one that felt right. I was drawn to a nursery not particularly close by. And there it was! Only one statue there. The owner said she had just bought it 2 weeks before, and only wanted one piece since she didn’t know if it would sell.

The Quan Yin statue was placed 3-4 feet behind where I had laid on the table, in a flower bed area next to the fence.

For as long as I was at that home, they oversaw the energies for numerous classes that passed through the backyard.

I won’t even go into the experiences with fairies and leprechauns we experienced in that backyard. That’s a story for another day!

Whatever mental focus most appeals to you is the one to try. This is really all there is to it... just combine one of your most relaxing activities with one of your most relaxing mental focuses, and you are meditating!

If you try one meditation and find you don't like it, then try another one. You will find something you like, so don't give up!

The World Is My Desktop By Daniel Jacob
One powerful vision that came through from The Reconnections recently was the realization that it is my own perception of the world that creates the "desktop" that I have on my Limitation PC (Perceptual Construct). Just like on a personal computer, I can and do arrange my images and symbols exactly the way I want them to be. I send various icons to the "recycle bin," I minimize others, and I maximize those portals that take me to realities that excite and edify me the most. Humanity did not invent computers from nothing. We actually remembered them from our sensing of how our own consciousness operates. The Reconnections represent all those parts of our Expanded Self that we had to forget about to become human. They are a Conscious Collective that has volunteered at this time to serve a kind of "search engine" into the archives of humanity, as we go through these crucial years of physical and planetary transformation. In one transmission, entitled "What's Ahead for the Planet Earth?"......the Guides tell us that there is no one "objective" reality that makes up our planet's future. In truth, there is a whole spreadsheet full of them! Our planet is very much like Grand Central Station at this time. There are many "trains" coming and going at every moment of the day. Each of us buys a "ticket" for whatever Earth Train we wish to board. We pay for our passage with our personal belief and focus of awareness........the only true currency of the Multiverse. In the above Transmission, The Reconnections say: "You enter (the Station), decide on your destination, purchase a ticket, and climb aboard the train that will take you where you wish to go. A specific "trip" can be manifest as "a train of thought," "an emotional side-track," or even a period of focused "training" which is designed to prepare you for more expanded existence. As you can see, we play with words. But be not deceived. This "play" is serious business. Words are also worlds! Hidden within expressions you use everyday are portals and gateways that connect entire universes with each other. Therefore, it behooves any traveler to begin noticing what he has been saying. Sometimes the thought is the thing." When I turn on the TV, and the newscaster says: "The world economy is about to collapse." My mind begins to spin. Down one or more of those "tracks," leaving from the Station, it actually does collapse. In a moment of time, my mind hops a freight car and follows that destination to the end of the line. Disaster. Oblivion! Then, I hop aboard another "train of thought," and I find that I am back at the Station once again, choosing to buy another ticket. The World is my desktop. If I read a book, wherein a certain "prophet" tells me that my entire planet is going to suffer from a global cataclysm or a terrible famine, my heart may skip a beat. The very fact that I chose to read that book tells me that those issues do have relevance in my limitation itinerary. But do I wish to have them completely dominate me? Then......the very next day, CNN features a news story on a region of South America that is being wracked by hunger and drought. I hear that a meteor has crashed somewhere on the desert of Saudi Arabia. Hmmmmmm.....interesting synchronicity, that. What the prophet told us in that book was, indeed, true and correct. In the Multiverse, there is a universe that honors every possibility. However, I am also the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. I get to choose. So does everyone. Isn't that a powerful way to live? Instead of maximizing that "files" marked "famine and pestilence" or the Planet Nibaru---letting them engulf the screen on my PC---this CNN news story reveals that I have decided to create two small boxes in the lower part of my Desktop, where hunger and disease are being played out. In alternative universes (ones that are just as "real" as this one) the entire world may be wracked by hunger, or exploding in flames. But here, in the universe of my perception, hunger and disaster prevail only as far as I require, in order to establish those ideas as part of All That Is. RECONNECTIONS: "A journey is not the distance between two points. That is old thinking. Rather, it is an expansion of one's personal identification with two (or more) points, followed by a re-defining of the physical "self" from point "a" to point "b." What causes material manifestation is the intensity of one's FOCUS upon who or what you wish to be at any moment." Once upon a time, humanity thought the Earth was flat. If you tried to explain it differently, people just shook their heads at you and said you were crazy. Then, Columbus sailed to find a "New World" for himself. He bought a ticket on a different train than the one preferred by his contemporaries, and he set out down a very different track! Centuries later...... we all are here, living on the (circular) planet that he discovered. Meanwhile, back in those other universes...........Planet Earth may have manifested itself in quite a different way. Presently........... much of humanity thinks of the Earth as a single, objective, unchangeable, "mass reality." We all live upon it (i.e. we share it), and where that one Earth goes, everyone must ride along. Spirit now establishes for us that such a concept is every bit as archaic and limited as when we believed that the Earth is flat. They say that, in the Oneself, there are "many Earths"............in fact, there is an infinity of them! And each sovereign creator, of each universal reality, gets to choose which Earth he or she is going to inhabit. RECONNECTIONS: "The director's booth at a TV station has many screens, receiving input from several cameras. Each image on the wall is an actual image of what is happening, although they each come from different angles. Changing from camera "1" to camera "2" is a simple matter for the Director. Meanwhile, the audience stays still, even though their perceptions have changed drastically. You must now realize that YOU are that director, even as you are the audience as well. In the first step of the Return to Oneness, a person is washed clean of all specific identifications with his current base of reality. This is not accomplished by denying said reality. Rather, it is accomplished by remembering his or her involvement with all other realities as well. This willingness to leap into a veritable abyss of possibility, clearing oneself of any "silver cords" or other such protective devices, provides the vibratory momentum needed for transport into any other reality. Do you think that you are something? Then you are attached to what you think that you ARE. Do you think that you are nothing? Then you are attached to what you think that you AREN'T. It's only when you realize that you are everything that you can finally LET GO." To what have we become attached? Pain? Poverty? Earthly Possessions? What will it take for us to let them all go? There are fragments of the Oneself who truly believe that without pain and struggle humanity would cease to be. There are other fragments who are so sick of being human that they have decided to blow up their PCs altogether! Allright. So be it. But friends........there are still other trains sitting there at the Station! There are other paths we can choose, if we are ready to quit behaving like "sheeple," on our way to the slaughter............ and start designing "new routes" which more closely resemble our preferred vibration.\ The World is my desktop. Once I lived in the world. Now I choose to live AS the world. Each face that I see, each "problem" that I identify, is MINE. What I own, I can control. Each miracle is now becoming my miracle. I let go of my attachment to being an "innocent victim," and I now become ready to embrace a new lover..........Infinite Possibility. Having been raped and abused, time and again, by my own denial of Personal Creatorship---I am now ready to begin my recovery. It's time to replace that corrupted hard-drive, and reboot the machine! RECONNECTIONS: "The shifts and changes we are describing here cannot be enacted through political action or deliberate intent. They are born of a higher vibration, and can only begin manifesting when humankind lets go of its addiction to ego-centered control, and simply begins to flow with the river of life that has always been within you. The struggle and hardship of your Limitation Journey are just about complete! Your hearts are opening, and becoming knit-together through communication, and your growing realization of who you really are." Ah yes............now I remember! This is definitely one icon I'm going to want to maximize. And isn't that the Conductor calling? I think I hear my train.

Illusion shattered in a lightning flash produces instantaneous enlightenment.
Clarity is achieved in a moment of freefall, only to be snatched back like a whiplash.

Personal safety, financial security, relationships, even basic human rights are brutally stripped away in a blink of true
vision. The safety net is rent, the abyss abounds.

Intricate patterns of fantasy, so carefully woven and constructed around us,
dissipate in a poof, like stale cigar smoke caught in a draught of fresh
air.

These structures do not exist! They are the figments of our personalities built to help us function in uncertainty, to make appear invariable that which is
ephemeral.

And how ingenious we are! As one set of patterns breaks down, a brand new set emerges like a phoenix to replace
it.

We see what we want to see, feel what we think is real and behave as if the universe owes us a life. We rely on invention
for our well
being.

It is not the result that is important, but the means we use to achieve it. What we appear to be is not nearly as important
as who we really
are.

What we have is not the solid, but the space between; not the matter, but the energy. The only thing that endures is Love. To obtain it we must totally
Trust.
