"The Soul"
I awoke suddenly from a deep sound sleep—sat up, turned on the light and asked my sleeping husband, who was in the bed next to me, “Is Joshua home yet?” He looked at me like, are you crazy? When we checked the garage minutes later. No truck. My now ex-husband hopped in his car. The Toyota pickup Joshua drove was dead in the parking lot of the movie theatre where he worked during his high school years. My son was relieved to see his father—and I was glad they were both home safely when I heard the back door close as they entered the house. The truck’s dead battery was replaced and life went on without incident, but the bigger question has always loomed, how did I know to wake up? What mechanism was in place? And, specifically to ask, “Is Joshua home?”
Over the last 25 years, I have read, studied and participated in many esoteric/metaphysical topics and classes. I am on a monumental quest to find the bigger picture to our existence—not satisfied by vague unhelpful answers, shrugs or worn out dogma. I am a seeker, perhaps you are too? And, I want to share this perspective with you on the Soul. It’s fascinating that we have many parts—that I have written about these past few Newsletters, as you know. Yet until this relatively recent shift of humanity began, we haven’t been able to ascertain deeper insight for new answers to the age old-question, who are we, and, what is our Soul? Obviously, God doesn’t change—we do.
In 2019, I attended a very esoteric choir in Bulgaria. The choir isn’t important to this story—except to say, that’s what took me across the world from Florida. Bulgaria was part of the old soviet bloc, and I returned home with a set of the famous Russian Matryoshka or Nesting Dolls. You know the ones; the deceptively simple set of smaller dolls nestled within larger dolls? What if our soul was the largest doll and our corporeal self was the smallest in a set of “us” in this metaphoric example? How do we discover the biggest “us”? How do we explore the story of our divine angelic existence and the invisible energetic Soul-part we bring with us to earth when we’re born?
If the Soul is a part of God, and we carry God within (the quantum parts of) our DNA, then our Soul is part of us too. It is however veiled behind our 3D invisibility cloak—entangled within our multidimensional complexity while we’re here in our temporary corporeal body, right? After all we, as Souls are eternal and forever and uncountable; but anything that is REAL, is forever. So, we have to come from somewhere—and return back to the whole—planning then for our next lifetime—and returning again and again, lifetime after lifetime; like a drop of water returning to the ocean. How do we understand the extraordinary attributes of the Soul? Souls are much larger than anything that “belongs to a human”. It is out of 3D linearity, and exists out of time and space—where only multidimensional rules we don't yet understand which therefore—can’t be sorted, named, numbered or cataloged in any way. But how do you describe the color blue to a blind man? I can still drive my car, not knowing how my transmission works. It just does. So do We in this vastness we call The Creative Source or God.
Curious, I want to know what others thought. When I asked a few of my friends, “What is the Soul?” Laura said, “I don’t know. That’s a very good question. Our religion says it’s something holy.” She paused for a moment and then continued, “Energy within us that gets recycled throughout all of time—continually. Each Soul has purpose for each life it chooses.” When I posed the same question to Joan she answered simply and matter-of-factly, “The Spirit of life. Without a Soul, you don’t have a life.” What would your answer be?
What if we can begin to unify and simply believe the invisible multidimensional parts of ourself to give us more wisdom? Better health? Longer life? Spiritual balance? And, keep us more peaceful in these challenging times? Add to our Happiness? Or, take away our worry? Communication is a two-way street. Perhaps, this is the time—and we are the Ones to do this? So, who are we really, and what is our Soul? After all it is our free choice to search for “us”! This awareness is the magic that connects us to everything.
I understand a split takes place when we arrive on the planet—that we’re part of a grand system within the greater Cosmos, Universe, Galaxies and what is called Great Central Sun, which isn’t really a place. But where we ‘find” the Creative Source or God. To make it more confusing, we exist everywhere and nowhere. Yet this hidden, elusive connection shows itself when we tap into our innate, allow for intuition, or through the connection to our higher-self. It’s like our very own personal wifi which interfaces to the invisible quantum parts of our DNA and our pineal gland, the higher-self; the bridge to the God-part and our Soul and the layers, and layers and history of us.
When we arrive in corporeal form, our Soul splits into many “pieces and parts and exists in many places and time frames simultaneously.” Wow! On the Otherside, we are not individual, but exist as part of the enormous “Cosmic Soup.” Our name is sung in Light and we are known by our Colors. Everything is known and the image we are made is that of LOVE is understood—so is our magnificence. Soul is our true spiritual essence. I understand and accept this intellectually—it is truly a mind twist—with a complexity my brain cannot comprehend. When we are finished here, this lifetime, we “die”—meld back into the collective or Family of our true Home, spelled with the capital “H” and get ready to do it again. Apparently, we are specialists at being human. It’s what Earth Angels do—and part of our job is to discover our magnificence, the duality of our existence, and the hidden “phantom of reality of lesson” while here on Earth in 3D. We are here as a “test of Energy” and what we do here affects ALL.
So when I got that intuitive “Flash” while sleeping all those years ago—like the nesting dolls—my Soul-self—had sent my corporal self a message to my smallest biological-self as in the nesting doll example. As a mother—my intuition was keen and wired into that all knowing interface—and I awoke instantly to ask the question, which was clearly relayed it to my consciousness in the moment. I didn’t care how it worked—I just knew it did.
There have been other times—I have known which way to turn—and what to do. This is a gift we all have. It’s contained in the many parts of us. I think it’s amazing when we start to search for this divinity inside—for all things begin to change. This much I know is true. As we move forward into the evolution of ourselves and this planet—it will be even more important to connect to these conceptual ideas and new concepts with an open mind. Old Souls (those that have been here the most) will receive this first. We will become the way-showers—and that’s why I celebrate us together—in this upcoming season known for Light. It’s who we truly are! What do you want to create? Health and Balance? Peace? Or Discover Your Magnificence? It’s all there for every one of us. Here's to the many parts of "us". Happy Holidays!
And so it is. ❤️

Disease of the Month
What Does this mean? Decoding 101
|
|
Decoding messages from us to us is something that is coming to light and seeing its way into the mainstream--slowly. There is a connection between our physical health challenges and our mind and spirit. We cannot ignore those other parts of ourselves. We are emotional spiritual multidimensional humans. And, these physical dis-eases indicate we are "out of balance," something is "off kilter." Dis-ease alerts us that there are deep unresolved emotional blocks holding emotional angst at some level. Are we the brave ones to step up to heal our lineage? What was the emotional trauma we experienced as a child? What was so terrible, we have simply blocked it out? The conscious mind likes to ignore and repress that shadow that lurks within. However, our smart body, our innate, and intuition part of the subconscious and cellular memory remembers everything. In 2022, we will explore, just briefly the most common imbalances lying below the surface--a gift waiting to be seen and healed--for good! ❤️

EYES - CATARACT
~Martel
A cataract is a disease where the lens (the eye’e biconvex lens) gradually becomes opaque to the point where eyesight becomes clouded and deformed, resulting in blindness sooner or later.
This form of physical disability occurs in my life at a time when I no longer want to see what is going on under my eyes, what is going to happen, or what risks influencing my life and the decisions I may have to take. What I have seen or what I expect in the future leads me to say: “I don’t believe my eyes!” “I wish so much that things would remain as they are now!” My eyesight is declining because the energy no longer goes there. It becomes dull and darkens and I view the future with a dark and veiled eye, with no joy or heart❤️iness. I may possibly have an egocentric attitude and I want to see like only my way, without taking into account the realities of others. This is a selfish attitude that may even make me believe that I am superior to others. I refuse to see certain events or individuals transparently. This cataract moves me away from the present and removes me from the world around me. This displeases me on certain levels, and I must become Aware of the outer and inner aspects of things. I see the world around me as a threat. A constant danger is present. I feel isolated, alone in my corner. I need the others, but I am afraid of their reaction. By ‘veiling’ their faces, I distance myself and I thereby feel more protected. It is interesting to note that cataract is an opaque membrane that prevents Light rays from reaching my retina. As the sun symbolizes the father, I can ask myself if I am afraid of him and feel a need to protect myself. Or do I fear the gaze of the heavenly Father, God, He who will pronounce the Last Judgment? Cataracts usually appear toward the end of the life cycle, at a tie when the fear of aging and becoming disabled or impotent sets in. I have the impression that doors are closing before me. I use the cataract as protection, because “I don’t want to see the future image of myself even if it is not here yet, for fear of finding it too unpleasant”. I refuse to see what is happening or will happen and, because it seems unavoidable, I want to slow down, or prevent, the event or the ‘aggression’ from getting closer to me. If I have children, I find then ‘ungrateful’ about a situation. Being too rigid prevents me from seeing ‘the reverse side of the medal’. By no longer being able to see what is happening today, I force myself to remember the past, which I consider to be ‘the good old days’ and don’t want to lose. I lose my flexibility of mind and action, I become less tolerant and I often forget events that have just happened to me. I therefore have no interest in seeing the future, which can appear very gloomy (cataracts are frequent in the developing countries). I no longer can use my imagination to envision my future. It is as though my eyes were constantly full of emotions, which cloud my vision. However, I can raise this curtain that prevents me from seeing my true reality by concentrating my attention on my inner Light. This is especially true if I am younger and have cataracts: for then I must decide that life will provide me with everything I need, physically and emotionally as well as spiritually.
I accept ↓❤️ to make the effort to look inside me,
and I see all the Light and beauty around me. I leap into life!!

Mystical Shaman Oracle
"Legends say that before there was time, before there was language, there were sacred symbols. The Medicine Wheel, the Curse, the Eagle, the Jaguar, and others spoke to us intimately. In their countless manifestations, they offered hope, expressed caution, illuminated opportunity, inspired creation, courted power, and shared knowledge. The sacred symbols belong to the realm of archetypes, and the collective unconscious, the spiritual common ground shared by peoples modern and ancient."
I will draw one each month for 2022. What will these cards say to you?

The
Moon
🌿
Every 28 days, the moon manifests a steady progression from darkness to light, and back again. This phenomenon in our skies has a powerful impact on our human psyches. It offers us the certainty that after periods of emptiness and darkness, there is a light waiting so we can be reborn into a new phase. This calls to mind a native African prayer to the moon: "May our lives be renewed as yours is."
The moon also has a strong influence on the ebb and flow of waters on the Earth. This same power, in turn, affects human feelings and emotions and mirrors their rising from or hiding back into the unconscious.
The moon spends equal time in the dark as it does in the light of the sun, and now it comes to remind you of this balance. Have you been too focused on outer achievements, productivity, or social engagements? Or have you spent too much time hidden from the outer world, not wanting to interact or show your face? Meditate on the significance of the moon's cycle, and let it gently guide you out of your bottomless depths. Head back to the world of outer expression and connection with others. Let it help you make time for yourself, your feelings, and your essential human and spiritual needs.
This card calls you to go on a journey of, just like the moon does every month, so you can get unstuck, whether from a specific situation or life in general. For this you need to make time to be with yourself without the distractions of modern society, and have the courage to look at the unwanted or unembraced parts of your being until you arrive at a place of resolution. Shamanic lore explains that the finest treasures of humanity are hidden where people are most afraid to go.

Philanthropic Pursuit of Justice
____JUPITER IN AIR_______
A strong sense of being of service to humanity, as well as unselfish generosity lead to the success of this enterprise.
Your code of ethics should be unconventional. The situation at hand requires of you to be charming, , hospitable and charitable.
Expansion comes through intellectual alertness. In this instance, your curiosity and thirst for knowledge lead you to varied mental interests and the exploration of diverse cultures.
You benefit from friendships and group associations. Humanitarian tendencies, companionship, communication and honesty are useful in creating social justice.
Being broad-minded and tolerant is essential for the success of this endeavor, yet you should remain mindful not to impose your own ethical standards onto others.

🍃Swedish Pancakes🍃
|
|
Country
Swedish Pancakes
YIELD: 4-6 Servings
6 Tablespoons butter
6 eggs
6 Cups whole milk
3 Cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons sugar
- Slowly melt butter in a small saucepan--set aside to cool slightly
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs and beat until mixed
- Add milk to eggs and mix to combine--about 30 seconds
- Pour in melted butter and mix well.
- Add flour, salt and sugar to egg mixture, and mix well, set aside
- Ladle thin batter into a large hot cast iron skillet or pancake griddle, making the pancakes big or small.
-
Serve hot, with strawberry butter, or the traditional warmed real maple syrup and extra butter to taste.
Cathy's Notes: This is one of my favorite breakfast fares. We ate these thin crepe-like pancakes growing up and I in turn served them to my family. They seemed like they might make a nice warm winter breakfast or served at a Christmas brunch. They are different from the cakey, heavy American style pancakes. I normally serve them with real maple syrup and butter. This time made some 'strawberry' butter using some preserves I did a few months back. I know this is not an original idea, but a totally decadent addition that I will do again. They are easy and quick to do, and most cooks have these ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
Bon Appetite

An Invitation to
"Send Light"
I connect with many people these days—some clients—some family—some friends (Some are silver and the others are gold) and so many are struggling and challenged by their health or a loved one’s health. Some are tested by failed relationships. Some, grabbling with grief and shock over someone’s passing. Other’s have financial worries. The personal stresses are horrendous at times. I know it is all part of the shift of the world we are in—but the facts remain. (CLICK HERE TO READ MORE)

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."
~Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, MD
