LOVE IN MUSIC: A POTENT HEALER
by Marnie Jones
The Philippine psychic surgeons cleared a sort of sand from my eyes and I saw better. The color came back into a woman's face after twenty tumors were removed from her stomach without anesthesia and without pain. An elderly man could hear better after holy oil was dripped on a piece of cotton and passed in one ear and out the other. Was this all a slight of hand? Perhaps. Was the energy there? YES. And the cures were too.
Numerous healing miracles later, I was left with a sober understanding, as my eyes slipped back into myopia. Our tour leader had told us that unless we took responsibility for our health, with the required changes in lifestyle and attitude, we might recreate our disease. Since then, I have learned that nearly all illness results from a lack of self-love on one level or another. Often, it is the traumas which left us feeling unlovable as children that play themselves out physically as adults. The reversal of physical disease may not be enough to bring us permanently to health.
Music can open deeper pathways and offers us ways to heal the unloved self. A song written and sung from the heart can bring one to tears (the cleansing mechanism of the soul). A song which gives voice to the long-silenced inner child can disarm the ego and invite us into a new connection with ourselves. A song touches the mind and heart simultaneously and can keep the mind busy so that healing can slip past its defenses.
Instrumental music allows the mind to develop its own pictures and thoughts. The first few notes from a harp can be so soothing as to draw a big sigh of relief. Nearly anything played with love on the harp helps people to de-stress. I invite an individual's energy to "play me" on the harp and thereby create music which is specific to him or her. I intuit a key and often more than one. Usually, the first segment is supportive in a general way, with the second piece oriented towards goals. These days, typical goals include more free time, more abundance and more creativity. As I worked with a woman from Puerto Rico, the music made it clear that because her exuberant Spanish soul felt stilted in the Anglo-dominated culture, it was time to express this side of her nature.
In another case, a woman at one of my workshops had her foot propped up on a chair. After an accident and resulting surgery, it was taking a long time to heal. I "tuned in" and saw that although the bones were in place, the energy "blueprint" that normally kept everything pumping and flowing was scattered and diffuse. The high tinkly tones I played on the harp seemed to "crochet" the damaged energy pattern back together. The tight pain which had been focused under her arch lightened up, and spread briefly up her leg and out through her toes. Was her foot fully restored? I don't know, but the process was moved along.
A friend of mine battling lymphoma with every available means-allopathic and alternative knew that his disease was linked to his sense from childhood that he couldn't find peace or safety on earth. I aimed my playing to his child within. As a result, subtle multicolored energy threads connected him upward and to the earth. (It was important that I held no attitudes about whether he would die or live. That is strictly up to him.) The music brought him a sense of connection to his higher nature and therefore some safety, compassion for his inner child, and a small optimism that peace on earth was possible. Whereas many factors will contribute to his physical outcome, healing on the spiritual/soul level was obvious.
In summary, the potency of music in healing is undisputable. Even the plethora of ego-directed music has some use in healing. However, if we musicians, composers and healers really want to bring profound healing to others, we must get quiet and clear in ourselves. From a quiet, clear place, we can really hear what another needs and what our guidance will show us is the best use of this sacred gift of music.

"IT IS" A MEDITATION TO THE 10TH POWER
by Tony Reis
It is in silence where all sound is heard.
It is in stillness where all movement is felt.
It is by not looking that everything is seen.
It is in aloneness when we are accompanied by all that is.
It is in simplicity that all the complexities become clear.
It is from no-thing that all things come.
It is by not walking any path that our destination is reached.
It is in Being that we are eternally re-born.
It is in looking at ourselves that the face of God is revealed.
It is through separation that we become whole.
It is in shadow that we become enlightened.

STARGATE REFLECTIONS - ALCYONE, EARTH, THE PHOTON BELT This beautiful passage is from one of our Stargate beacons, Andrine Morse. - Andy
THE COSMIC LOVE AFFAIR
by Andrine Morse
Love: "The hearts immortal thirst to be completely known and all forgiven." Henri Van Dyke
Great Spirit moved throughout the vast and infinite universe gathering information, sensing frequencies and amassing energy. Imagine, if you will, a very lonely soul; somewhat of a Hermit, who longed for companionship and interaction; whose contribution to a day was a restless shifting of harnessed, creative power. In this manner, Great Spirit moved continuously, caressing the boundless star system with cerulean light.
If you, dear listener, have ever longed to hold a soul mate in your arms - to taste the salt of their tears, then you will know what Great Spirit felt when the Blue Jewel, Earth, in her 25,860 year orbit of Alcyone, moved into the photon belt for the first time. No other light in all the star systems had matched the cerulean blue of its own. Yet there, orbiting a huge sun, was a tiny frail planet radiating the same blue and green light as the Great Spirit. However, there was an obvious difference - Great Spirit was not solid mass but rather a formless expanse much like a star. The Blue Jewel was boiling lava, solid rock, living soil, huge bodies of water, atmosphere and glorious life; an absolute thrum of harmonic frequencies. The coloratura of these frequencies was such that Great Spirit swelled three fold. Great Spirit's intoxication was so instant and exhalted that a huge vortex of pure elation shot towards the tiny planet penetrating her atmosphere. The Blue Jewel sensed the inrush of energy and met the curious thrust with breathless wonder. Not sure of its source she announced, " It is I, Earth, welcome. From Dawn's first moment I have been here waiting." ……..
For two thousand years they danced and sang together as One. Ah yes, what a glorious time for Earth and Great Spirit. Great Spirit, via Spirit, experienced all sensation; cold, brisk waves upon a finned back, freedom of wind flight, summer's heat and winter's bite, colors that changed with the flux of light and rotation, swift beasts, heartbeats, nectar, scent, touch, vision and vibration. The pulse of every addiction we have experienced is what Great Spirit enjoyed. Earth became radiant in the ALL permeating glow of Great Spirit's jubilant explorations. The increase in atomic activity created rapid evolutionary processes to occur. Genetic shifts touched the promise of creation.
Two species eventually attracted Spirit's intense curiosity. The first were the sea-going mammals for they communicated most effectively through sound and vibration. The second were the upright land-going mammals for they were quizzical and aware of Spirits presence. Great Spirit and Earth eventually felt the pull of their imminent separation. Such was their sorrow that the echoes are still heard in the songs of the heavens. For even they were at the mercy of motion and time.
Great Spirit gathered all the forces of Spirit and created what was to be the eternal connection to the gentle Blue Jewel; an upright being of pure light and subtle mass; whose skin was sensitive to vibration, whose mind was quick and bright and who, surely, if given the choice between creation and destruction, would choose creation. Great Spirit formed them in the perfect image of those who would Love the little Blue Jewel eternally; of those who would, in their remembering, understand the gentle whispers of their Mother Earth as she cried soulfully to be reunited with Great Spirit. And through this connection, the common thread of Spirit that first wove them into being, would their Love exist. And yet, dear listener, as every gardener knows, the planting of seed remains a mystery until we witness the growth.
For thousands of years the People celebrated the Earth, her cycles, her wonders. They celebrated the Heavens and understood the connection and their own Creation. All Life was revered and respected. They took what they needed with humble regard for the gift and the opportunity. As Earth's orbit of the life giving Sun pulled her farther from the belt further changes took place. The further away they spun, the weaker the remembering became until these beings of light became a mere remnant of Great Spirit's love.
At her furthest point of orbit from Alcyone, something within the Earth's grid snapped. Connection to the Source was all but lost. A spiritual darkness descended as Earth's children struggled to make sense. Seismic activity within Earth's core increased. Whole civilizations ceased to exist. This did not go without notice in the Celestial Realms and many enlightened ones visited Earth in an effort to help the Children reconnect to the Source. As a result there were periods in time when huge waves of consciousness permeated the planet but could not resist the challenges and choices of Power.
Thousands of People cut their connection to the Earth and turned their eyes to the Heavens. So minuscule was their remembering that only a small quiet voice inside could be heard. They looked for the Father and turned from the Mother. They chopped away at the very Tree of Life which connected them to both. Their greed drove them to tear at the Mother's breast and to leave no stone unturned in their hunger for Order and Power. They built false temples to Honor Themselves. These fallen ones destroyed all that celebrated life. They attempted to sweep, Joy, Light, Love, Laughter, Autonomy, Sovereignty, Sensuality, Sexuality, Creativity and Peace from the face of the Blue Jewel. Soon, the two partners in creativity, man and women, were separated in Spirit. Remarkably, a few of the Tribes remained, for hundreds of years more, untarnished by the fallen ones. The Earth Tribes; you know who they were. Their skin remained of a color closer to the living soil they inhabited. One by One they too began to experience the separation.
Somewhere in the Heavens, Earth's call of distress was heard and relayed to the Great Spirit. Huge stars fell from its form like diamond teardrops. Great Spirit's sadness was nearly as boundless as it.
The Councils gathered; Twelve Ancient ones gathered, their light forms shimmering and quaking. Together they sent further distress calls to all of the Galactic Councils within their range. The clear message was that Earth's Grid was damaged and her solar system was on its return orbit towards Acylone. If She attempted re-entry into the belt without repairs to the Grid then She would burn. In memory of the celebration of Great Spirit's Love for the Blue Jewel, those who could assist were sent forward to Earth to prepare all life forms for entry into the belt. For until Earth was near the rim of the belt, few other life forms would be able to make contact with her or her People.
As Earth shot towards the belt great works began taking place. Memory of the Source became more accessible and Spirit grew once more presence. Talk of Love and Peace drove the fallen ones to new lengths of destruction. People everywhere heard the weeping of the Earth. Eye met eye and heart met heart. Recognition flooded the little Blue Jewel.
The Lightworkers made repairs to the Earth's Grid using energy from planetary alignments. And technology sped forward to prepare the connections. The final alignments would require multitudes of people, the Earth over, to join together and ground the initial surge of photon light into the Earth's core so that her vibration would once more be able to absorb that of the belt.

EARTHLINK MISSION UPDATES
The EarthLink Mission home page has been updated with a satellite photo of North America (my apologies to all our worldwide readers) on March 19, 1996, the first day of the March stargate opening two months ago. I just happened to be checking the weather forecast when I stumbled upon this amazing weather pattern. Most interesting is the obvious, unusual, and rare vortex seen clearly in the satellite photo. It is unclear to me exactly what was occurring at that time in that area of the United States, but it is quite clear to me that SOMETHING was occurring.
One could speculate that the vortex was clearing a power spot, or that the area was undergoing a cleansing of some sort. One might also suggest that some of Earth’s most powerful etheric or subterranean crystals were activated in that area, or that an important energetic alignment was taking place. Regardless, the vortex was there.

E.T. THE CRYSTAL SKULL COMES TO SALEM MASSACHUSETTS
When: Thursday, June 20th through Sunday, June 23rd Where: Salem Massachusetts Event Coordinator: Chandara
For those not familiar with Crystal Skulls, a simple definition is in order. A crystal skull is a skull fashioned from various types of quartz crystals, somewhat similar to a human skull. "ET " is an ancient smoky quartz crystal human size skull. Crystal skulls were found in the vicinity of ancient ruins, mostly in Mexico and Central America. No one knows for certain the age or origin of these artifacts. We summarize that the skulls were used in ancient times for various ceremonies, particularly healing. Information received from a wealth of sensitives (psychic) individuals who have had the opportunity to sit with the skulls, tell us that the skulls were either created by more advanced civilizations such as Atlantis and Lemuria or that the skulls were brought to the Earth by Extraterrestrials to activate the higher consciousness in man. The MYSTERY of the CRYSTAL SKULLS still remains! Many of the skulls are in private collections and museums, and not available for viewing. We invite you to take this rare opportunity to personally experience the Crystal Skulls with Joke Van Dieten, and listen to their history and lore from one of the foremost authorities, Joshua Shapiro. The crystal skull event in Salem Massachusetts will coincide with the stargate opening on June 20, 1996.
