Adding new information into experiences that have been impacted by the presence of parasitics.
Why are there agendas based on greed, profit, cruelty and violence especially targeting women? was one question that was addressed in a new way. Acknowledging and then releasing the pain of past violence will remove the patterns that are the foundations for the continuing patterns of violence. We all left with new concepts to think about and a continuing commitment to ending violence in our world. “When the forms of an old culture are dying,
the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.”

Last year at the Vancouver Peace Summit 2009 the Dalai Lama expressed, “The
world will be saved by the Western Woman.” My initial response to this
declaration was, “Great, let’s do it! We women here in the west are super
beings; we are leading the cutting edge of evolution for all our sisters and
brothers still caught up in the world patriarchy.” Moments later I was
overwhelmed by a feeling of un-easiness as the reality of the plight of my
sisters and brothers became very clear: The path we are actually on, relative
to the collective consciousness of humanity—is the path of destruction.
In order for Western Women to initiate conscious change in the world’s path and
save the world—we, as women, must heal and dissolve our complicity,
participation and addiction to the patriarchy.
* We must recognise our own violent reactivity to the masculine powers that be
through our emulating and acting like the so-called powerful men that have set
up this destructive world path in the first place.
* Too many of our sisters unconsciously and consciously choose to act like
unconscious men and strive at all costs (the loss and sacrifice of love, our
femininity, our children and families, our well-being and health, etc.) to be
“equal” to them—many of us expressing ourselves as if we were men, indulging in
behaviours contrary to the Divine Feminine, in our embodiment of the unconscious
masculine.
* Expressing our masculine energies has certainly been an important tool in
rising through the ranks and facing the adversities of the predominantly male
world of politics and world business—but enough is enough—a balance must be
co-created.
* We must dissolve all violence as perpetuated in dysfunctional relationships,
martyrdom, self-abuse, and self-sacrifice, and set a well balanced example of
wholeness to our sons and daughters.
* We women must dissolve our addiction and identification to victimhood,
self-sacrifice, and “dumbing down” our Divinity, and learn to embody the Divine
Feminine energies through mastering Self-care and Self-fullness.
* In doing so we bring into balance the entire world, dissolving the
unconscious Masculine, evolving-making conscious the Divine Masculine, bringing
forth the Divine Feminine, and teaching our sons and daughters their Divine
value, and the importance of balancing the male and female energies in all of
us—learning to wield and master these energies for the good of all humanity.
This four-part intensive and initiation asks that we look deeply into our
tribal/family structures and dissolve the programs that allow us to blame and
hate our fathers and mothers and ourSelves, and unwittingly co-create
generational dysfunction that perpetuates violence and an unconscious world bent
on the destruction and ravaging of our planet’s resources. By dissolving these
programs, and realising that the world is NOT the planet, we can set forth a
collective intention of honouring our fathers and mothers and deeply embodying
the gifts downloaded to each and every one of us, allowing full expression of
these Divine Tribal gifts out in the world through world service. Each of us
has specific gifts meant to be shared with the world-at-large and all of
humanity, for the good of humanity and our beautiful planet.
Join us in a two day intensive on Saturday
4 December and Sunday 5 December for a wonderful collective healing and
initiation to wholeness, honouring the 16-Day Festival dedicated
to the Elimination of Violence Toward Women and Girls.
A collective Absolute Balanced Mastery™ healing will be invoked throughout the
intensive, allowing all of us to forgive and transcend the sins of our Selves,
Fathers and Mothers, and move into our respective places of power as conscious,
grown men and women.
Deeply intimate exercises and processes will be engaged in a
no-holds-barred-fashion, along with an anointing ceremony to complete each
segment.
Part one—loving our wounded inner child
Each of us has an inner wounded child who often runs our adult lives in ways
that disempower us—keeping us stuck in the past and looping in endless familiar
dramas.
This wounded child is actually the chalice that holds our all our traumas—the
emotional-mental-physical-sexual abuse and neglect we’ve experienced. Through
these childhood experiences we have unconsciously solidified our beliefs and
manifested our realities as adults with matching scenarios, infecting the
world-at-large, affecting the ways we express or don’t express our personal
power.
This is a heartfelt invitation to hold sacred space for this inner wounded child
by allowing and acknowledging his/her pain. Let us all reclaim, nurture, and
set our inner wounded child free to emerge—gifting our adult Selves with the
magic only an innocent child can bring forth.
Part Two—Forgiving Father, Embracing the Divine Masculine
Like it or not, our fathers are our first interface with the energies of the
Divine Masculine and the world-at-large.
This interface and connection becomes our template for our own masculine
directed-ness, focus, our ability to act on our own behalf, follow through and
take action.
Our fathers are also our foundational templates for the men in our lives—the
good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, and everything in between and beyond!
Whether our fathers were active and present in our upbringings or not—their
influence energetically, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually
program our lives on many different levels—affecting our ability to embrace our
masculine and feminine energies, develop healthy self-esteem, manifest our
dreams, attract healthy relationships and love partnerships, and manifest
abundance and peace out in the world.
Discover the relationship between the Divine Masculine, our fathers, and
allergies or emotional-energetic disconnections to wheat and meat, and how these
affect the emotional, mental and physical bodies.
Let us all open to forgiving our fathers, transcend the sins of our fathers, and
move into our respective places of power as grown men and women.
Discover the gifts of your father and own your masculine power…become the
template of change and the powerful expression and example of balanced masculine
energies for your sons and daughters and for the world.
Part Three—Forgiving Mother, Embracing the Divine Feminine
Our mothers are our first interface with the energies of the Divine Feminine
that embrace and express the qualities of life, light, creativity, movement,
spontaneity, softness, generosity, nurturance, fluidity & flow, beauty and
radiance.
This interface and connection becomes our template for our own feminine nature
regardless of being male or female. When we are in conflict with our mothers
and the feminine—we are actually at war with nature and short-circuit our
inherent connection to love and joy.
The feminine—the goddess has many faces and moods—just like nature—there’s Her
fierceness in an erupting volcano, and her sublime beauty expressed in a
gorgeous sunrise. Our mothers and every expression of the feminine encompass an
infinite array of sanity and craziness, yet historically the patriarchy has
vilified and sought to destroy Her. What we don’t realise is that all women
carry within their bodies the energy signatures of the unconscious masculine.
Discover the relationship between the Divine Feminine, our mothers, and
allergies or emotional-energetic disconnections to milk and dairy products, and
how these affect the emotional, mental and physical bodies—this includes our
ability to take care of ourselves and others from a place of empowerment.
Discover the gifts of your mother and own your feminine power… become the
template of change and the powerful expression and example of balanced feminine
energies for your sons and daughters and for the world.
Part Four—World Service—Sharing Our Tribal Gifts With The World
Now that we’ve unveiled the tribal gifts given to us through our fathers and
mothers, it’s time to really receive and own these gifts, and share them with
the world through WORLD SERVICE.
What is your purpose this lifetime? What is World Service?
Each one of us is an expression of The
Divine-In-The-Flesh-God-Goddess-All-That-Is.
This means that each one of us has a special contribution to make to humanity
and the world-at-large. Believe it! This means that only you can bring this
gift and expertise into the world—no one else can make your contribution.
Learn to navigate the process of evolving a J-O-B into a Career, and then
evolving a Career into your unique Vocation and World Service.
Discover what a World Service platform is and how you can connect with yours
using your birth date and destiny numbers, based on your birth name (and your
current name)…
Wake up, be lived, Divinely! Let us as conscious awakened Men and Women take
our planet and world to a higher place!

BEAUTIFUL ANA NITMAR FROM GUATEMALA
POEM “We Want Flowers”
It dawns with long hair
the curvy day of womenfolk
How little is a single day my Sisters
how little
for the world to accumulate flowers
in front of our houses
from our craddle to our grave
the entire accidented path of our lives
should be paved with flowers to celebrate us
we want te see and smell the flowers
we want flowers from those who unhappy to see
us being born females gave us away for adoption
we want flowers from those who did not send us to school
so that we could raise our brothers and help in the kitchen
flowers from he who covered our mouths
and crept in to our bed to rape us
while our mothers slept
we want flowers
from he who did not pay our wages
and fired us when he found out we were pregnant
we want flowers
from those who condemned us to die
by forcing us to give birth at the risk of our own lives
we want flowers
from those burnt us for being witches
and institutionalized us for being crazy
flowers from he who beats us, who gets drunk and
spends in booze our food money
dear sisters, we want flowers
from those who plant intrigue and speak falsehood
flowers from those who torture their own daughters,
their own mothers and daughters in law and who
harbor poison in their hearts against us
the people of their own gender…
we want flowers.
