 Post subject: ENERGETIC SENSITIVITY & FREQUENCY SURGES - April 17, 2015
PostPosted: Fri Apr 17, 2015 2:11 pm 

April 17, 2015


Hello Dear Readers,

Last night I experienced a frequency surge of the kind I have not encountered for some months. (These types of surges were once more common in my life - i.e., daily and weekly, they have over the last few months diminished in how often they occur).

The energies coming in caused a reaction from my body which manifested symptomatically as - feeling as if my heart was being electrocuted and a need to expend the energies coursing through my nervous system.

I have a knock off chi machine which I used for about an hour until my body processed the energies and grounded them. The content which came in the form of words for these frequencies was "Screaming - Crying", at times the surging of the energies became so intense - I just repeated the words as a mantra as I sought to contain the energies.

At first, when I could think about what was happening, once I began grounding the more intense surges, I thought that perhaps I kept hearing the words "screaming and crying" because of the pain the energies were causing in my heart and nervous system, AND simultaneously I felt that these energies were somehow related to an event coming or unfolding which had to do with great suffering - which were directly related to the influx of the frequency surges I was feeling.

Now with so many people suffering in war zones it seemed to me at first, that what I was hearing was the suffering and cries of the men, women and children trapped in literal earthbound hells. Yet when I was able to explore the frequencies surging through my body, I found that it felt more like the cries and suffering had to do with an event coming towards the planet, which was directly related to the energies - frequency surges - I was taking in. The energetic event I experienced lasted about two hours.

I am very fatigued from the experience and so, this day is a bed rest day to recover. While I am resting, I have a wonderful project that I have been researching based on a composite of designs from many creative people who have shared their ideas and designs on the net, and I today I will use my bed rest time to draw out my design for our compost bays, using the extra dried and green logs we have from the woods around us as well as stone, which Elijah will build.

with
love,
Johanna

UN confirms: Shipwreck off Libyan coast killed 800 immigrants

The United Nations refugee agency has confirmed 800 migrants died in a shipwreck off Libya on Sunday after speaking to survivors of the disaster.

“We can say that 800 are dead,” said Carlotta Sami, spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Italy on Tuesday.

“There were a little over 800 people on board, including children aged between 10 and 12. There were Syrians, about 150 Eritreans, Somalians… They had left Tripoli at about 8 am on Saturday,” Sami said.

The survivors hailed from Mali, Gambia, Senegal, Somalia, Eritrea and Bangladesh, she added, and all had been taken to nearby holding centres.




As many as 700 migrants were feared drowned Sunday after their packed boat capsized off Libya in what was described as the deadliest such disaster to date in the Mediterranean.

The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and Italy’s coastguard said only 28 people had survived the wreck. Their testimonies suggested there had been about 700 people on board the 20-metre (70-foot) fishing boat, officials said.

“It seems we are looking at the worst massacre ever seen in the Mediterranean,” UNHCR spokeswoman Carlotta Sami said.

The European Union announced an emergency meeting of foreign and interior ministers to discuss what Amnesty International blasted as an avoidable “man-made tragedy”.

PostPosted: Wed Apr 22, 2015 9:10 pm 


PERMACULTURE PRINCIPLES
for a
NEW EARTH

 
These principles reflect a work in progress whose further elaboration will grow along with the consciousness that all will hold regarding the sanctity of the life of the Earth.

 

1) Refrain from waste.  (Catch and store energy and materials).
 
2)  Return to the earth what the earth has given.
 
3)  Walk in humility upon the earth and with the earth.
 
4)  Trust in the Divine to guide your actions, large and small.
 
5)  Observe the principle of resonance.  Promote and enhance the closeness of things that belong together.
 
6)  Understand money as a natural resource, not a self-created resource.  Let its flow be respectful of the life in all things.
 
7)  Release the idea of control of outcomes.  Allow the principle of stewardship to produce the fruits of one's labor.

PostPosted: Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:00 pm 



Hello Dear Readers.

I am sorry I have not posted much recently. Since the weekend, the energies my body has been taking in, containing, and transforming, have been challenging to both my emotional body as well as my physical body.

I have found some comfort and relief working in the yard, barefoot - grounding with Mother Earth - as I tend to the trees and plants, readying them for the summer.

I have also been preparing DIY essential oils based lotions for my skin for when I am outdoors, as the sun has been getting hotter (just watch the plants and how they are reacting to the sun) and the chemicals being sprayed to cover the sun when I am outdoors tend to cause immune related challenges. I have found it is best when outdoors at those times to cover my locks and coat my skin - especially with Frankincense and Myrrh.

This year, I am learning how to spray the fruit trees we planted last fall with Neem Oil and other natural solutions, as well as beginning the first stages of preparing for long term no till soil solutions. Our composting project enters its second year with clearing a space to build with the natural wood around us, second and third stage composting areas as well as a leaf mold composting area.

A few weeks ago when the Iris bulbs were first popping up, Elijah helped me to plant (he did the planting and I the designs) Iris's along the waterway by our home. We live near a waterway flowing from the Reservoir and each year we are repopulating the plant life along the waterway with native species. Last year we found a hedgehog had moved in as well as snakes, so we are on our way!

Each year that we get to live here as stewards on this small piece of Mother Earth's sacred body, we are amazed with every new addition which joins us. This year it is the lichen - which I found online is an indicator of healthy air quality (organic plants and products as well as plenty of orgone on the property helps immensely) - and a couple of Mallard ducks nesting! How wonderfully exciting to see the new additions.

Each positive change we make to the land creating a habit for the wildlife and plant life around us brings new surprises. It is a joyful experience for me to encounter a bee investigating me or the curiosity of a butterfly as I work near them.

I am so grateful to God for the blessing of living where I do. I have known so many years of hardship and poverty, it is a wonderful Grace to be living so close to my beloved Mother Earth and to tend to her. I find my mediations are deeper when working with the plants and trees and that my ears and eyes take in each birdsong and play as if I am hearing it for the first time.

Even on the days I cannot walk very well from the energies I am taking in, I can still sit outside in the woods and give thanks for the blessing of being alive and being able to enjoy the natural beauty all around me. Happy Earthday, everyday dear ones.

with love,
Johanna

To bring darkness to light-425x410.jpg
To bring darkness to light-425x410.jpg [ 57.57 KiB | Viewed 3907 times ]



Hello Dear Readers,

The energies I was perceiving coming into the earth plane this week began with a persisting frequency which caused my mind to perceive time as speeding up - oddly, at the same time, I perceived a fireball moving through numerous dimensions of time, coming forward from just behind me. At times in the presence of the accelerated energies, I simultaneously felt a internal need to run from this force of frequencies which eventually, left me feeling as if my inner self and various energy bodies were being swept up and carried away with the currents. As suddenly as these energies began, they ended, followed by a new frequency which felt dense and limiting.

I was sitting in the meditation room this afternoon when I became aware that the frequencies had shifted, and a force of pressure was manifesting, a pressure which felt most intense. It was a layered experience of perceiving the gravity field of the earth being pressed down, then the awareness of the pressure around me causing a sense of external compacting, then I became aware of the internal experience of feeling pressed - pressurized - down. This second energy and the feeling of intense pressure lasted for some time and was followed a few hours later by a frequency which I perceived to be both in the form of an explosion with a parallel/entangled frequency of rage, and wavelike, fast moving and rhythmic - forward flowing.

Each experience felt connected beginning with the fireball I first perceived myself running from a few days before which was companioned/entangled with the frequencies of time speeding up, then densifying and becoming pressure like which then exploded in a rhythmic wave like frequency which seemed to carry a vibrational signature/tone of rage.

I am not sure what I am describing. I felt guided to share this and I am doing so without being able to interpret anything about the unfoldment of the frequencies and events.


What I can share and describe is how I did not contain these energies.



Energies that are not love and that are not light are carried within each human being. They pass through us as emotions and as thoughts but they are not who we are. This is a fundamental tenet of purification.

…energies are in our bodies; they are also in our subconscious minds. They come and they go. They sweep through us in waves of emotional intensity, but eventually they subside. As souls, we can learn to observe the movement of energies within ourselves and to wait for them to pass without acting them out in words or deeds.

http://lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Containment.html



Even as I was given an awareness to the unfolding energetic events, I still allowed myself to get caught up in "doing", and did not stop "doing" and rest until the experience ended. Sometimes the 'not doing' can last for hours, days, weeks or months depending on the energies. Sometimes, I become stubborn and do not stop when I need to. My ego and fear work on me in tandem as there is so little I can physically do when the energies are moving through me. The pattern is that I usually lose humility and become stubborn in regards to the associated helpless which comes with the inability to stop the sacred experiences and processes until they are over. Experiences I have over the years, assured God that I was willing to endure and go through once I began seeing that this was an aspect of my holy work.

My experience has been that what is in need of purification will manifest again and again in time, until there is full consciousness of the underlying separation from Light, manifesting as a pattern and/or belief system - coupled with behavioural changes based in prayer, trust in God and surrender - which leads to an infusion of Light bringing with it new ways and choices and openings within the mind and heart which can heal any precedence of previous separated and karmic behaviours.

Sigh, even knowing what I just wrote above, Dear Readers, I still lost balance - again. It has to do with Thy Will and my will. In those moments in time when I have some energy for myself, 'I' most often want to express my self physically by 'doing' - often just catching up on everything I have not able to tend to.

Today was one of those days. I did not listen to my inner voice which was telling me I was overwhelmed internally whilst perceiving the frequencies as they were exploding outward and moving through me. I did listen to the messages of internal overwhelm, stop what I was doing and take time out to go sit on a rock or go in the house and rest. I pushed myself to finish what I was doing and as a result, coupled with the fatigue brought on by the intense frequencies moving through me, I lost my ability to contain the frequencies of rage I felt associated with the exploding energies I was meant to contain.

The last straw to my nervous system came when someone came into the area I was working in filled to the brim with energies they had collected as they moved throughout their day. The longer I stayed in the presence of these energies and engaged with the person carrying them, the more saturated I became with this new layer of dense, separated from Light energies which had begun intermingling with the intense energies I was seeking to contain. Later, I found myself having a verbal meltdown totally losing the energies I was meant to contain. Some time after this unfortunate release, after the shame associated with not containing hit me hard in my heart, I became able to stop justifying my need to be 'doing' and went to rest.

How sad that I made another sad by not containing the energies moving through me and loosing them onto them. Thank God I can make amends and ask for forgiveness.

How sad that twenty years and counting on, I still do not listen to my inner voice and continue to push to the back ground - my real work - transforming and containing energies. Especially now, as increases in the frequencies of Light are creating more and of greater intensity, events of energetic releasing, of longstanding, hidden frequencies of darkness - multidimensionally, planetary, and from the hearts and minds of humanity.



This is a Purification Issue.


After years of observing and witnessing this pattern and issues associated with feeling that I need to "do" comes the realization and deep belief that I need to prove I am contributing - outwardly - for others to see, so they will not think me lazy or lax. This consciousness is rooted in fear and my ego. It has taken so long to purify and heal this one issue. I continue to have a foot in both worlds and I am split. Neither fully in my sacred work, and neither fully able to participate in life as others do without a second thought each day.

This is a very old purification issue for me. Past and Present. I struggle with honoring when my sacred work is calling which usually means stopping everything and resting my body whilst the energies are moving through me and letting go of the feelings of guilt which comes with the helpless of knowing that I cannot 'do' more outwardly to show how much I appreciate all the help I am given. At the same time, I also struggle with the physical chaos and disorganization which builds around me, as I witness all that is in need of being taken care of, and I lose my grasp on humility then my trust in God, allowing the energies of frustration to become more meaningful then surrendering to the fact that I cannot control the chaos or what I can or cannot do.



Purification is a sacred process that is meant to set mankind free, enabling life to be lived without pain and limitation from the perspective of the soul. It is a process that creates the possibility for individuals and for the Earth of living a sacred life.
And yet the trials of purification sometimes appear to outweigh its rewards, allowing one to feel that there is only difficulty and pain to get through, rather than a sacred process going on, initiated by light, and corresponding to God's intention to bless the Earth and all souls.
 
It is easy to believe this during a time in which the expansion of light is largely invisible, and one must trust this event based on belief and on one's inner knowing, rather than on a state of corresponding inner joy. Indeed, sometimes the difficulties of purification can appear almost insurmountable,.. creating heartache, fear, hopelessness, or anger -- all feelings that may have been present in the past to a lesser degree, that now clamor inside with greater insistence.
 
Because of the amplification of these feelings in the presence of greater light, what may appear to be taking place may be attributed mistakenly to deficits in one's character, in one's efforts at healing, or in one's relationship with God. None of these interpretations would be correct. For purification is the answer to the desire for healing and help. It is a drama of the past taking place in the present for which the conscious self ordinarily has little or no frame of reference. Its purpose is to eradicate limitation, and to create for the self, a new and sacred way of life.
 
With respect to the acceleration of the purification process on the planet, it is, without exception, produced, first, by the intensification of light upon the Earth; second, by one's own receptivity to that light; and third, by the intensity and scope of the needs that exist for healing.


THE TRIALS OF PURIFICATION
Meeting the Challenge of Spiritual Growth ~ Julie ~
http://lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Trials-Purification.html



To 'do' less, to trust, and rest - these three things I have failed to do in unison far too many years, and that is an aspect of why there are times that I find it difficult to contain those energies which I am meant to contain and why, as an act of Grace, another layer of this pattern of separated consciousness is unfolding as a Purification issue.

Today I failed to contain the energies moving through me. I was tense about this and then let those energies go. I have made amends and by the Grace of All That Is, I have been forgiven. I am ready to accept whatever karma I have created as a result of my not containing today. My prayer ~ that I become willing to humble myself even more than I think I have, so that when frequencies are moving through me, I may choose to stop 'doing', and seek instead to rest, allowing my soul which operates within my sacred body, my sacred vehicle of consciousness, to do its holy work.

Thy Will not mine. I can say the words, but then later when it is crucial for me to remember, I forget these very same words of pledging surrender and put restrictions on the expression of Thy Will when my will wants to be doing and manifesting, rather than waiting, trusting, and resting.

I hope the sharing of this Purification experience was helpful.

with love,
Johanna



During the trials of purification, one's inner being may know one thing, while the body, mind, and emotions may feel something quite different. The deeper self may, for example, feel connected to God's truth, while mind and emotions feel separated, causing the conscious self to feel alone and without help. This situation, despite its intensity, can be met through the strengthening of love which can carry one through the trials of purification.
 
Feeling or asking to feel God's love, feeling the love of others for oneself, feeling one's own love for God, for other souls, and for the life of the Earth -- these are all things that can become stronger in the presence of greater light. They do not eliminate the challenges that are often present, but they surround them with compassion and uphold them with understanding.
 
Blessed are those who may enter the trials of purification in a state of awakeness, and who can go through the experience with God as companion, rather than without.
 
Blessed are those who may find within themselves the love that endures in the face of all difficulty, that is devoted to the light, and that seeks the healing of the self and of the Earth in the presence of every level of challenge.

UPDATE 4/25/15: It appears after reading of the Nepalese earthquake that occurred today, April 25, 2015, that I was simultaneously taking at least two, seemingly entangled vibrational events. The unfolding of the Nepal earthquake is clear enough in the description and it feels connected to the Calbuco volcano which erupted in Chile a few days ago. The second event which has the signature energies of rage has not manifested as yet. All Blessings to the Nepalese peoples during this time of suffering.I hesitate as to whether I should offer translations as what I perceive as frequencies moving through me, which can be limited by words and descriptions I might choose to use. The taking in of the energies has been with me for many years, it is the translation of the frequencies which is new for me, and which I am leaning how to do in a very public way. I find it is best, especially with the visions I draw to not translate them, if words are given at the time of the vision I do share the words which came through. At this point in time, when it comes to the visions I draw, it is best to leave them as they are for those who perceive the vision to form their own translation. I hope you will bear with me Dear Readers as I venture into this new way of expressing frequencies I am perceiving, especially now in these early day with the little skill I have at present in doing so, bolstered by the strong faith that I am being guided.

UPDATE 4/28/15: "The second event which has the signature energies of rage has not manifested as yet." The second event which carried the vibrational signature/tone of rage had to do with the sufferings of the Americans of African decent in Baltimore Maryland who began protesting and then exploded in rage for the brutal "nickel ride" = being beaten by cops and shackled and handcuffed in the back of the police van without being harnessed in, as the police officers speed up and take sharp turns. This treatment in the end, left Freddie Gray with 80% of his spine severed which lead to his death. See links below.

All Blessings to the suffering. Both in Nepal and for the Americans of African decent being brutally beaten and killed in the United States.

After quake, Nepal grapples with post-disaster diseases

Quake-hit Nepal is now grappling with a new challenge -- how to deal with post-disaster diseases like diarrhoea and respiratory infections, as water and sanitation are emerging as major concerns.

Health experts fear outbreak of diseases like diarrhoea, acute respiratory infection, eye and skin and health issues, adding to the woes of survivors, who are homeless and are struggling with scarcity of food and water supplies.

Moreover, injuries due to earthquake like fractures, spinal cord injuries, psychological trauma and child health are major issues that are worrying the health experts.

Freddie Gray protests in Baltimore: Why so big?
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2015/0425/Freddie-Gray-protests-in-Baltimore-Why-so-big

The police say Gray didn't resist arrest and that officers didn't use force, which seems to be mostly corroborated by video shot by bystanders. Gray seems to shout in pain, and his leg seems injured as officers drag him to a police van. (Someone off camera shouts, "His leg broke and y'all dragging him like that!") Gray also had asthma and requested his inhaler, but didn't get it. Yet it's not the leg or the asthma that killed him. Instead, it was a grave injury to his spinal cord. Gray's family said he was treated for three fractured vertebrae and a crushed voice box, the sorts of injuries that doctors say are usually caused by serious car accidents. The van made at least two stops before reaching the police station, but there's no footage to say what happened during the journey or at those stops.

Baltimore Man Dead Following Police Encounter Was Stopped
For Making Eye Contact With Cops

"Running while black is not probable cause. Felony running doesn't exist, and you can't arrest someone for looking you in the eye. You have to believe he committed a crime and have an objective basis for that belief. They had none of that."
http://www.mintpressnews.com/baltimore-man-dead-following-police-encounter-was-stopped-for-making-eye-contact-with-cops/204619/



I Believe Them.

Sown within the moments of time such as we are seeing in the United States with an escalation of police and judicial brutality against Americans of African decent are the seeds of the reminiscences of the great movements of cultural integrity and community honour - from the Abolitionists movements and the likes of Fredrick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher-Stowe, Sister Sojourner Truth, to the fight for civil rights beginning beginning with the African Dignity movement begun by Marcus Garvey, to Malcolm X, Mohammed Ali, Rosa Parks, and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and all the men and women who walked with all of these and many other WayShowers - many of the youth on the streets know this instinctively in their hearts. Many, not all, of the youths on the streets protesting have been waiting lifetimes for these moments of Redemption and Reclamation of their selves.

This is a time for the Americans of African decent, male and female alike, to rise up from hundreds of years of sufferings and tribulations. To rise up in dignity, to rise up from their hearts, for all their dreams, all their hopes and the hopes of the generations who came before them and are to come.

That is why I believe the youths in this article when they claim that they are trying to stand for the cause of injustice. And in that cause, they remember the truth of who they are - that they are somebody. Each and everyone of them are someone important and integral to the whole of this nation, and in these moments of great cultural change, the American youth of African decent know this.



Gang Members Deny Police Claims of Truce to Take Out White Cops
Another gang member told the TV station he had been trying to stop people from damaging property, but he said police had inflamed the situation.

“We’ve been out here all day trying to prevent people from breaking the stores, (but) they hit us with a bomb, they burned my shirt, they ripped it and we were still standing right there, but we came right back there holding hands together and we march together, we’re still holding strong, and we want them to stop hurting us so we can just live our life and keep going,” another gang member said.

Update: July 9, 2015
The firing came hours after the release of a highly critical report from the Fraternal Order of Police released Wednesday. The police union, which has clashed with both Rawlings-Blake and Batts since the death of Freddie Gray in April, complained of inadequate training for officers, confusion in the chain of command during protests and riots, and poor leadership. In particular, the report charged that Batts had failed to prepare the force for rioting. It also found that a “credible threat” by gang members to kill officers during the worst day of rioting was an unconfirmed rumor, but that publicizing it fed the chaos.

From out of the darkness of oppression, poverty, and hopelessness, comes a unified light shining within the hearts of the peoples of Baltimore - Johanna



Light unifies. It creates greater wholes. It builds a willingness to trust and a need to accord to all the presumption of fundamental humanity, based on respect. It seeks to redefine what 'enemies' are, and to do away with that term in favor of a deeper explanation of human motives. It recognizes forces that seek to limit freedom and that seek to disrespect the rights of others, but it does not rely on hatred or fear in order to respond to these forces.

Thousands Protest Peacefully In Baltimore, And Many Lend A Helping Hand

BALTIMORE -- At the Mondawmin Mall in West Baltimore Wednesday afternoon, members of rival gangs banded together to make sure local high school students got home from schools safely.

"We all met up today to make sure the incidents that happened in previous days don't happen again," a 21-year-old who asked to only be identified by his nickname, Trag, told The Huffington Post. He had a burgundy bandana around his neck, and those around him wore bandanas of different colors to signify their affiliations, be it with the Bloods, the Crips or the Black Guerilla Family.

The 'we' and 'them' mentality is a hallmark of the time of separation. We are leaving that time and entering one in which there are no exclusions, since all is held in God. To enter this time fully, fear must be let go of, not activated, and so wherever fear is activated and promoted, the contemplative eye must recognize the backlash of forces that are seeking to prevent the expansion of light.

To see the drama of light and darkness on the world stage and to remain at peace, one must know deeply within one's being that light is stronger than darkness. This may not show itself immediately in every situation, but the thrust of growth, evolution, and transformation is, and will be, the overturning of all that limits freedom on an individual level and on a collective level as well. All that promotes fear and division is being replaced by light's purposes.

We enter this time humbly and gratefully, standing with the forces of light that may be seen through the remaining conflicts that are still present on the world stage. Namaste.

Racism Is Real: The Real Reason Behind Baltimore Uprising

The truth is, Jim Crow grew up, cleaned up, and started writing laws. Laws that create institutionalized racism without having to have a sign that reads "whites only." Our current policies and criminal justice system do that implicitly. To get a real handle on what is going on in Baltimore, Ferguson and around the nation; to understand why people feel stuck, angry, and frustrated, we have to be willing to face the fact that racism has not disappeared. It has instead morphed into less conspicuous white privilege and social and economic inequality.

We Are Capable of More

The burning anger in the heart of our city -- broadcast around the world -- reminded all of us of a hard truth. It is a truth we must face as a nation. Because it is a truth that threatens our children's future. It is the reality that eats away at the heart of America and the very survival of the American Dream we share.

The hard, truthful reality is this: growing numbers of our fellow citizens in American cities across the United States feel unheard, unseen, unrecognized -- their very lives un-needed.

This is not just about policing in America. This is about everything it is supposed to mean to be an American.

As Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "riots are the voice of the unheard."

And, this week the people of our city and our entire country were forced to listen.
