Love Vs. Hate

Fear knocked on the door.

Love answered.

And there was no one ther e.

-Gary Zukav

Why can’t we all just get along? Why do we try to impose our beliefs on one another? Why can’t we just live in peace? Maybe in fact, it is all part of humanity’s learning and expansion to experience this contrast? After all, we seem to grow exponentially in times of adversity; I would guess the same for our souls on earth too?

In this Holiday season—we celebrate the season of Light with Hanukkah, which began December 2 and runs eight days until the 10th of December. It is a celebration that goes back to the rededication of the second temple in the second century B.C. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of a Master Teacher—a celebration of Love—and something he came to teach us by example; he walked the earth as an enlightened soul; we have the power and ability to walk in love too. We have master-hood within us. Maybe we are finally getting the message? Are we finally growing up? It seems like we, as human beings, have been in the cosmic birth canal of sorts—and it feels like the crowning is about to take place—as the new human and new paradigm are here pushing us onward and into a place we have only imagined. We will have peace on earth. Can we see we’re really all the same; different parts of the same equation?

There’s a thin line between love and hate—and we, as human beings have the potential for both. Both of these emotions cause us to “lose our minds.” I understand this takes place in a part of the brain called the insula. The insula, in particular, is related to pretty much every visceral feeling and strong emotion that exists, so it’s pretty intuitive that it would be activated for ‘hate’ or ‘love’. (It’s also activated when people crave drugs, feel pain, or hear a funny joke.)

But is there more? David Hawkins, in his book, Power vs. Force looks at levels of vibrational frequency. The emotions of anger, desire and fear fall in the range of 100-125, the low end. They are the emotions that create anxiety, aggression and hatred. These are logarithmic progressions—so it’s like this to the 10th power. Remember from your school days that anything to the tenth power would be multiplying it by itself ten times! On the other end of the range are love, joy and peace. When we reside at this end, we show deep respect and honor for each other. Our view of life is that we can all share happiness. If we exist in fear, our belief is “I only survive, if you don’t.” We as the human being have the highest potential and the lowest potential—and the free choice to go either way.

The chaos in the United States has taken a toll on many of us. We are all, speaking for myself, and those that I converse with, feeling the same. I know a giant stick has been stuck in the caldron and the pot is boiling hot. And, just like the frog—perhaps in the years and years we have existed on this planet—most of us didn’t know—that the darkness was manipulating our world creating hate among us. Division was manipulation and force. Hate is just another name for fear! Hitler used it in WWII—and we are seeing glimpse of others trying to do the same. Although some are swept up in the propaganda of this fear mongering—we are awakening to the light. This has been a year of illumination—and we are now—for the first time able to see this clearly—as never before. Our consciousness has shifted. The majority are not being enrolled in the fear mongering—but fighting back against it instead. Just look at Twitter! The old techniques are not working—and the darkness has nothing else up its sleeve except more fear.

Are what we really witnessing is the evolution of humanity? For all that is hidden has been working behind the scenes since our collective consciousness dipped way low, at one point in the 20’s. We hit bottom—and made a choice to turn things around with the Harmonic Convergence and Concordance in the mid to late 80’s. These were brought further by the Precession of the Equinoxes, a 25,800 year cycle and supported the predications which were forecast by the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Hopi’s and other ancient indigenous peoples of the earth; they were the secret keepers, something that the “white man” did not understand or care to know.

But humanity has been in the process of awakening—one by one—based on our intention. And, part of this awakening is uncovering that which doesn’t work. Those baser qualities include greed, lack of integrity, hate or fear.

I had an ongoing argument several years ago with a good friend of mine. I argued that there were only two emotions—love and fear—and he argued back. In the end we agreed to disagree—but if we hate—we are really afraid. If we are in the place of love—non-judgment, tolerance, acceptance of our differences, we can’t be afraid. Yet, the ego is brilliant in convincing our human form—why we get to be right. We begin to “dehumanize” others who may see things differently—and once we do that—the justifications just keep piling up!

I see all this as a process—a painful drama for me to watch—but one that represents many realities. We, as the planet of free choice, have the power within to be as dark or as light as we choose. The darkness has been here operating in the dark—behind the scenes for eons—controlling and having their way, but no more. The cosmic shoe has dropped on the darkness. The light now has the upper hand. The light is more powerful and active. We see glimpses now even in our news. Do you remember the couple in NYC that lost their engagement ring? Not only was it found, it was returned to them in the UK. My friend sent me a link entitled “3,000 Jews and Muslims Sign Up to Learn a Song Together–the Result is Perfect Harmony.” This is Light and love too!

Every day, we as a human race, are embracing the Love and Light—and the darkness is running the other way. It will take more time—these things don’t go away overnight—but keep your vibration high—and keep sending light by your intention to the darkest places on the planet. It will stay there permanently. Now that’s a multi-dimensional gift for humanity now and forever, for consciousness is energy—and energy is physics. It all starts with us; we are the change. Try a simple act of kindness—surprise someone when they least expect it. It may be as effortless as a cup of coffee for a complete stranger. You will know. Is it filled with LOVE? Do you expect something back? You already know the answer. We all get to shine our light brightly as the LIGHTWORKERS we have signed up to be! Happy Holidays—the last blast of 2018 illumination energy and the season of LOVE and LIGHT!

Do not lose sight of your original purpose and intention. This is only the beginning; much more can be accomplished provided you keep focused on your dream. Remember what is truly important to you.

l CHING: WEI CHI

The I Ching is at least 5000 years old and is one of the oldest books on the planet and one that has never been out of print since it first appeared. I thought it would be fun to draw a card each month and glean its quantum message--and apply it to our individual and personal circumstances.

Ruling Lines - SECOND and FIFTH

_____________________________

"Only by paying attention to detail can you achieve success. Have you checked everything? If not, check now. You may have overlooked the obvious. Proceed in small steps. By keeping your head down you will achieve more than by poking it about the parapet. Make lists. Make notes. Pay attention to detail. You have only a limited amount of time to complete your tasks--use it well."

_______________________________ ______________

SIXTH (TOP) LINE: If you continue on the road you have chosen, you will not meet with success. Turn back and choose another way through.

FIFTH LINE: When it's a two horse race, only one can win. You think it is going to be you, but your confidence may be misplaced.

FOURTH LINE: When you think you are right you may be, but then again you may not be. Are you really sure of your facts?

THIRD LINE: Watch your back. Those who profess to love you might well be plotting your downfall. Trust no one and listen to what isn't being said.

SECOND LINE: Be content to have achieved as much as you have. Perhaps it is time now to take a back seat and let someone else do the driving. Oh, if only you could.

FIRST (BOTTOM) LINE: Don't try to run before you can walk. You have only just entered this situation and don't really know what is going on yet.

(An odd card this month--but it's the one I randomly drew. When I got to the end--it seemed like for me, it was referring to the Ascension process Humanity is going through right now--and ties in with the theme this month and the overall much bigger picture of our global consciousness and awakening process!)

Biological Decoding Here Today

Conflicts and trauma are sometimes obvious and sometimes not and make their presence known to us as dis-ease and imbalance in our lives; manifesting in our body. Weight issues or acne are obvious to most, but what are the traumas, loyalties and imbalances locked away in diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or behind simple allergies and minor illnesses given labels or the diagnosis's we receive at the doctor's office? Do you want healing or just relief?

The premise is easy. Disease and sicknesses are "nothing more" than emotional conflict(s) or trauma, --lessons to learn (that may be passed down from our ancestors) running in an "invisible" field of energy unknown or unrealized to us until it emerges as our brain's (the ultimate computer) solution for the disturbance deep within our psyche. More simply, the first law of Biological Decoding states: "Every pain or disease originates from a conflict. The conflict is an unexpected, highly acute, and isolating shock that occurs simultaneously in the PSYCHE, the BRAIN, and part of the BODY that corresponds to the type of conflict. Discovering the conflict aids the brain in sending messages to repair the body".

If we are human, we all have unresolved emotional conflicts. Heal them for yourselves--heal them for your kids and break the pattern. Biological Decoding goes hand-in-hand with our allopathic medicine today which addresses the mechanical aspects of our disease.

How can I help you today?

The Biology of Decoding is an amazing tool to assist in the discovery of the root cause of dis-ease. This discovery and decoding opens the door to healing, deepens spiritual understanding of who we are and releases limiting beliefs and patterns.

"If the mind doth bend, disease can end."

Medicinal Plant: Alfalfa

For 2018 I thought it would be interesting to highlight a medicinal plant--one that you may or may not know about. The use of plants as medicines predates written human history. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food also yield useful medicinal compounds. The use of herbs and spices in cuisine developed in part as a response to the threat of food-borne pathogens. Awareness always gives us more options. Y ou can then make the decision to explore the qualities further and discover if the nutrition and benefits are right for you!

Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa) which is also known as Lucern belongs to the family of "Leguminosae." I can remember this fragrant grass freshly baled and stacked in the barn. It was most important and much more nutritious than the local western Washington hay we fed to our horses growing up. But what about for us?

Medicinal Benefits - Because of its deep roots, according to the book, Nature's Medicine, Plants that Heal , alfalfa is rich in nutrients and minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and zinc.

It is also a source of eight essential amino acids (our building blocks of protein). Alfalfa is used in China to treat fever, in India to treat Ulcers, in Iraq and Turkey to treat arthritis, and in the United States in some natural therapies for cancer. It has been employed for urinary infections, menopause, and fatigue and as an antibiotic and an anti-asthmatic.

Animal studies indicate that eating alfalfa can reduce the absorption of cholesterol and inhibit the formation of arterial plaque.

According to Folklore and traditional uses, the Arabs discovered the herb and named it al-facl-facah , or father of all foods. The Spanish changed it to "Alfalfa." For centuries, the Arabs fed it to horses in the belief that is would make them strong and swift. The King of Persia (550-486 BC) brought alfalfa to Greece when he attempted to conquer Athens. Here in the United States, it has been known as the oldest forage crop and valued by athletes as a health drink for performance and strength.

Besides the above , it's also known for it's detoxifing benefits from heavy metals due to the high chlorophyll content and contains the vitamins A, C, D, and K. It is available as a tea.

As always, consult a medical professional before taking this or any medication or natural plant. 🌱

Everything we put into our body synthesizes into something whether it happens to be thoughts and words, our experiences and lifestyle or our food.

In the course of our busy lives, few of us ever stop to think (speaking for myself now) ---what does this actually do for my well-being? That is why I continue to focus on one food or ingredient each month. Not to memorize facts, but to bring more awareness to our consciousness about what we choose to eat. It affects us in many ways.

Recipe of the Month:

Beef Stuffed Cabbage Rolls - " Holishkes"

This is a recipe, I made numerous times--and one for me that has its tradition from a Jewish cookbook I once owned and my ex-husband's Grandmother, Nan. As the snow sweeps across the midwest or the rain falls outside--it can be pulled right out of the oven on that cold dark night. Left overs are great warmed the next day. And, this dish gets even better the second night. In this country we use cabbage--but I guess--if we were in the Balkan peninsula we'd be using grape leaves to wrap the meat-rice mixture. Just something different for a bit of a change and a dish I have enjoyed ever the years!

Bon Appetite!

" Holishkes"

SERVES 4

(Adaptation by Cathy Silver.)

INGREDIENTS

1 small to medium cabbage head

1-1/4 to 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 cup cooked rice

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 extra large egg, lightly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoon RealSaltⓇ

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon Herb de Providence

1 can (16 oz) tomato sauce

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS

Remove the core from cabbage head with a sharp knife. Place the cabbage head in boiling water and slowly "peel" the outer leaves off as they get soft and limp with tongs. This just takes literally a few minutes. The deeper you cut the core out--the easier it will be to peel the leaves off the cabbage head. Place on plate to cool and set aside.

In a work bowl, combine, beef, cooked rice, onion, egg and seasonings. Mix well. (I like to use a "disher" (#12 or # 16) or "Ice cream" scoop.) Place approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of your meat-rice mixture in a wilted cabbage leaf. Fold the sides first, and then roll leaf enclosing filling and place seam side down in a casserole dish or large dutch oven. Continue until all the meat mixture is gone.

Next, combine your tomato sauce, brown sugar, water, lemon juice and raisins. Pour over cabbage rolls and bake@300-325 degrees for 1 hour. Enjoy!

LOVE IN THE AIR

Several years ago now—I resisted the gym, which, I must say I thought was strange, but there was such a pull to be outside. It had been coming—but this particular year—I couldn’t go back to the stuffy atmosphere and stationary workout equipment I knew so well. Something strong was calling me, so I went with it. I called it Gaia. I needed to walk—to feel the fresh air and sit by the beach. To commune with the palm trees and sand, the unique tropical birds and big bright green iguanas who watched me, silently; weird moveable eyelids and their (click)
