Empowerment, It's Your Choice

Empowerment is a quality within each and every one of us that we must not only activate but that we must invest in. Invest your empowerment in yourself and encourage others to do the same for themselves.

2010 Predictions: Sharpening Your Skills

Proximity to the northern and southern poles will help you to achieve empowerment as well as some other places on the Earth. And the way you use your empowerment will be the most important issue for you in this coming year and years to come.

Holiday and New Year Greetings

I wanted to give you a special greeting and blessing for this special time of year.

Goodlife.

For Your Consideration

I noticed that my publisher is having a special sale on my books and probably others that she publishes.

The prices are unreal. I've never seen them so good at Light Technology. If I didn't already have my books I'd probably buy one or two :-)

Goodlife.

Self Empowerment

Techniques including basic forms of True Magic to achieve greater levels of self empowerment to benefit yourself and in applications to come, to benefit others in the most benevolent way for all beings.

Safety and You

For safety you can try this as well as what you do now. Bring yourself into a feeling of safety and learn how to use it to project safety all around and about you for the greater good of all beings as well as for your own good. I think this will help and might just improve circumstances on Earth as well.

The Natural Orientation of the Soul, Part 1

The masculine and the feminine is part of us all - no exceptions. Gradually we will see a gentle move towards the feminine. Partly because we are a little out of balance and the feminine represents a greater level of balance for us all. This will also help to explain certain aspects of our souls.

Helping When Help is Difficult to Provide

A little more about Living Prayer and its simplicity as well as its impact in the most benevolent way for all beings.

Creation Through Magic With Precise Words, Part 2

The creation of that which is requested through these forms of magic is explained in much greater detail with special attention to the manifesting process. An alternative is also suggested.

Creation Through Magic With Precise Words, Part 1

Precision in words, the meaning of the words and most important - the energy that supports those precise words has everything to do with the most benevolent outcome of True Magic, Benevolent Magic and Living Prayer.

Be aware that such precision is called for to have the most happy results as well as to learn and grow with this technique which can change the world into something that you would want to live in and pass on to your heirs.

Just To Let You Know...

Starting Friday I'll be running a short series of 3 videos in response to migor3231 questions on my You Tube BenevolentMagic that I felt were relevant to this site in general.

They were questions having to do really with the functionality of the Grandfather material I channel and post there as well as here on Explorer Race blog so I decided to share them with you.

I was just checking one now and I was disappointed to see that I had troubles with the sound so be forewarned. You'll have to turn the sound way up to hear it. I found the problem and it won't occur again but it'll be a series of three videos and then in about a month they'll be another one that has a sound problem but I've tracked it down now and it won't happen again as far as I can tell.

Just wanted to let you know. The series I'll be posting coming up starting Friday will be three videos. On this occasion I will post them one every two days.

So I hope you can get something out of it and that you can forgive my goof on the sound. Goodlife to you all.

2010 Predictions - Instinct Part 1: Truth

How to know truth physically. It is critical to be able to recognize truth through your physical self. This coming time now will make such knowledge and wisdom of great value, so here's something to practice.

Changes In How I Post

For a long time now I've been sharing the wisdom I have with you in print here on these blogs and even stories on the stories blog but now I find as I get older I'm going to have to do this in a way that's easier for me and doesn't tire me out quite so much eh :-) so I'm going to shift over completely to video which I've been planing for a long time.

You'll still see video on Explorer Race as you have been so that won't change very much and you'll still see that also on my You Tube BenevolentMagic site so that won't change either but as far as all the transcribed material, that which I have written and posted through the usual process but instead of thinking and typing I've recorded it and transcribed it and posted just in case you're interested, that's all got to stop now because it's too much for one person to do.

Anyway I'm just letting you know. Feel free to consult with these blogs. I may still post, from time to time a video on these blogs here or there so you can watch for that but I'm afraid you're going to have to say goodbye to the print version. Maybe you won't miss it that much.

When I put up video these days it will mostly be Grandfather channeling through me but who knows...maybe there will be other things too.

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed interacting with all of you and it's not totally goodbye but it will be different. So, just to let you know. I love you all. Goodnight and goodlife.

2010 Predictions: From Old Agendas to the Unified Heart

The Same Old Blame Game? An Assignment in Standing Up

For years we people of the Earth have been limited by our beliefs rooted in the past in old prejudices. Now as we grow and change you could help perhaps, by stimulating people to think about things that they haven't considered before.

2010 Predictions: Croatia

Changes in the mountains will bring about advantages in business and trading partners. Also there might be spectacular images in the sky that might very well feel profoundly uplifting in Croatia.

Smoothing The Pathway to your Benevolent Future

Further techniques for inviting your benevolent future and a more benevolent future for all peoples on the planet into your now time.

Urgent Message

Now, you may perhaps remember that I have encouraged people to move back from the shore lines as you may find here and here for example and there have been other comments - sometimes by Grandfather such as this video and to a degree this one as well and other such suggestions.

I don't want to be overbearing about that especially during these times of emergency* but I do want to suggest that you say a special living prayer today. First ask for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around and about you. Pause for a moment.

Then say, "I am asking that all those beings who are living within a level of 5 to 10 feet above sea level anywhere in the world now have all the support they need to move to comfortable residences and workplaces that are at a higher level above the sea and that this will all happen for them in the most benevolent way."

I don't wish to underscore things like this too often but as you know these predictions are not meant just to be entertainment. These predictions put out here and there in various places are meant to be encouragements to maintain a comfortable lifestyle or at least strive for one and live away from the shores because Mother Earth intends to reclaim many of her shores so that the life in the sea and her functions of her waters be maintained or strengthened.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Spiritual Mastery And You

In this life you have a task, each and every one of you, to do your part to create a benevolent world for all beings. You do not have to create this all by yourself but you do have the capacity to do this as you have been, in at least one life, a Spiritual Master in some way. So you can achieve this.

Studying To Be A Spirit Guide, Part 4

You are living in a time now where dreams are being supported with your own personal visions and these visions will sometimes occur even before you are deeply asleep and maybe even while you're still awake ready to go asleep.

Studying To Be A Spirit Guide, Part 3 (Audio Dreams)

Have you been having dreams for the past year or two where there are sounds that are so distinct or loud that you wake up and react to those sounds? Such as a doorbell ringing and you bound out of bed wondering who it could be at that hour perhaps, rush to the door and there's no one there.

Of course the tendency in that situation is to think that someone's playing a joke on you but there's those moments when you do the same thing and run and open the door or peek out of the peephole and stop for a moment. "Wait a moment," you say, "my doorbell doesn't work." But you have done that out of a sound sleep because you're used to responding to a doorbell even though the doorbell doesn't work and perhaps never did as long as you've been living there.

I'm picking the doorbell as an example even though another thing might be, say a barking dog for instance. So, what's going on?

This is just a brief mention today, I'll bring this up again at some point but I want to say this much. These days you are as a spirit, ja as a soul, when you are asleep traveling to places that are not as far away as you normally travel. Now granted, you will travel perhaps to your Teachers and your Guides which are fairly far away when you are asleep though when you are awake they are often nearby. You might also find that your travels these days are to places - as a soul dreaming you understand - to places that are much closer.

Perhaps in the case of the "doorbell" it'll be someplace quite nearby whose doorbell happens to work or in the case of the "barking dog" for example it will be someplace where there is a dog that barks like that. So, what's it about?

I've been posting on this blog something about studying to be a spirit guide and this experience that you're having, many of you, this sort of audio dream is the application of that. Kind of like learning something in school and then having the lab class where you put what you learn into practice - perhaps you've had that experience.

It's very much like that. You study things and in your dreams, perhaps learning to be a Spirit Guide eh as you might find here or here you will study on this and that but this is more like lab. It would be as if your Teacher, your Guide trainer eh says, "Now it's time to check things out on the basis of your actual world that you're living in."

So instead of having the training in your dreams you do so remotely with your Guide and your Teacher or one or the other. So what you are really having then in these audio dreams is essentially a remote experience.

This is not unlike the term Remote Viewing, something that you may have either read about or in the case of Long Vision you have read about on Benevolent Magic. So I just wanted to bring it up.

I'll be talking more about these things soon. I just wanted to say though today, that this is another example of Guide Training. And you might reasonably ask why your Guide would arrange something for you that would wake you up out of a sound sleep.

Part of it has to do with learning how to act and react at a moments notice which Guides must do and the other part has to do with experiencing something that is nonsensical in our practical day to day world and thus must be related to Spirit World and I believe that that is done for those of us who may be reluctant to believe that Spirit World is so very close and such an important part of our lives.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Signs And True Magic

Now is a time when you will find that you feel called upon to begin to apply many of the things you are studying here. The True Magic material you will find on my blogs Benevolent Magic and A Mystical Man's World will be very helpful to understanding what influence you can have on your life and on the lives of others in the most benevolent way.

Studying To Be A Spirit Guide, Part 2

Gary has asked an interesting question about the video Studying To Be A Spirit Guide:


Thank you so much! This is very interesting. Let me see if I got it right: You are saying that we experience — and physically feel — all kinds of different situations from different angles and then discuss these with our teachers. That makes a lot of sense and is a very valuable information for all Spirit Guide Trainees out there.

Can we conclude that many of the dreams of a spirit guide trainee will be dreams that are not directly or not at all related to the life of the dreamer?

Can this create some difficulties? For example, if you don't know that you are training to be a spirit guide you might have a tendency to take all of your dreams to be personal and try to find a connection or a clue for your life, even when no such thing is intended. Or if you know that you are training to be a spirit guide you might miss some valuable clues from your personal dreams, because you might think that this was again a training.


Here is Grandfather's answer.

Studying To Be A Spirit Guide

Studying to be a Spirit Guide requires not only Earth experience but it requires an involvement in dreams and applications of experience. This is not always as easy as it looks and I believe you will at least be in partial agreement eh.

Friends

Our migration now towards inclusiveness will engage us with more and more friends and our desire to include everyone in this new family of friends will know no bounds.

Your Souls Are Merging

Now is the time of the joining of souls. To return slowly, gently and benevolently to the one being that makes up all souls on Earth. You will have this opportunity over the next forty to fifty years and some of you will see it through completely. Is that not wonderful.

I also want to say I'm sorry about the sound, I'll try to get it better next time but I felt this message was so important I wanted to post it anyway. Goodlife.

From Dreams Into Life

We now have an opportunity to wake from a benevolent dream and carry some of that benevolence right into our day to day lives. While it won't remain it will give us a preview of our world as it will become more and more benevolent over time. I hope you enjoy this dream into life.

An Open Letter To My Friend Who Is Worried

Recently a friend of mine wrote to me about many things he was worried and concerned about. Because my answer to him, at least insofar as his worries went, was such that it felt important to include you - the greater community - in it I am sharing it with you here in two places on Blogger.

I hope you will feel reassured and know and understand that what I am teaching here is intended to improve the quality of your lives and to help you to improve the quality of the lives of others if you would care to learn and apply. It is always and only up to you.

Without further ado here is what I wrote to my good friend:


My friend, this is what I believe. The change that is coming is not one in the outer world. The change is going to simply be that people will see their outer world for the creation that it is and since they will be rapidly learning how to recreate, not in the old way with wars and harm and stealing and corruption but to recreate in a benevolent way, it will be much easier to change things for the better.

It is not an accident that I've been teaching about magic and benevolent magic at that for the past few years because that is what we naturally do when we are not on this planet and even when we are in a deep sleep state with our teachers and guides.

It will be much easier than you believe. It's not about living through the collapse of human creation anymore. It's about living through the recreation of human creation. It will be much easier than you think but it will require a letting go.

Here's the thing, if you're just letting go and the world is collapsing around you it can be tragic but if while you are letting go you are starting something new and recreating and working within the natural world of recreation which I have been doing for a while now it can be very benevolent indeed.

Zoosh* used to say - it's very hard to stop doing things but it's much easier to start doing things.

That's intended you see because if you can include magic - not just the prayers, ja** those are very good but actually learning how to ask for things and learning new ways eh then it will be possible to create transformation of our world in a very quick and benign way. I have had much success doing these things working with other forms of life right here on this planet. I'm not talking about ET's. I'm talking about what people call animals and even the tiniest forms of naturally occurring elements of life.

There is so much love and co-operation that is available and I know that we can begin. I will continue to teach about Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer and True Magic and in time what I am teaching will become simpler and simpler. Right now it's as complicated as it's going to get and it will get much much simpler.

I'm writing this to you my friend but I'm also going to publish it without your name - only saying that this is an open letter to my good friend who is sometimes worried.

-------------------------------------------

Sometimes in the past I have quoted some things, I have written to others, in blogs. I will continue to do this because I want you to know that I think of you as a community and I will include more and more of these things with you while protecting the identity and the privacy of those to whom I am writing.

I am hopeful that in time you will help each other and towards that end in Europe right now a friend of mine in co-operation with others is creating a site that will make it easier for you to exchange your experiences. I will say more about this in time but for now I just want you to know that that avenue is being worked on and that you will be able to stroll down it and perhaps meet new friends or even old ones. Goodlife.

**Ja is yes in German but more to the point it has to do with my Minnesota upbringing where a great many Germanic and Nordic peoples lived and many of their words quite naturally slipped into the local way of speaking. I've decided to just start writing them here in my blogs the way I actually speak in my life. It's a way of sharing my Minnesota traditions with you.

You Are A Light Being

Right now you are surrounded with light beings and to an extent communicating with them as your own light being. You are in the final stages of understanding why you are here, what you have been doing and how you will apply it in the future either as your now self or as future generations will apply it very soon. You will be exploring space and encountering other beings. You will not only be learning but you will have much to teach.

More About The Economy, Part 2

The global economy is shifting from its perception of the value of goods to its interpretation of the value of people. This shift will take a few years but not so many as you would think. As a result the global economy will demonstrate its spiritual qualities as well as its good business.

More About The Economy, Part 1

A simple technique to engage with optimism. Optimism is a way to move yourself along the spiritual path and possibly even improve your life on a day to day basis.

Simple Sensitivity Exercise

More training in physical sensitivity to sharpen up your instinct and your capacity to learn and know. This is the foundation to grasping what may not have occurred yet. So keep in mind that these trainings are always about the next thing as well as this thing.

Allowing Our Sensitivity, Part 2

More on energy bodies, your sensitivity and the sensitivity of others. This training will allow you to bring yourself into an attunement where you are more aware of what you can do and how to do it in the most benevolent and sensitive way for yourself and others.

Allowing our Sensitivity, Part 1

Now is the time to unmask your sensitivity and to allow it to demonstrate to you its great gifts. It's not a time to hide it because decisions you will have to make now and in the immediate future will require your sharpest and most clear instinct of which sensitivity is a very important part.

Response to a Question About Dreams

Recently a question was asked on a video that I posted to my You Tube site and also here on Explorer Race. I'm reproducing the question below and my brief answer because I felt you might be interested and might wish to try it out for yourselves.


Question:
Are we going to be spending more time in the dream state because the creation process going on in dreams will assume a more tangible reality?


Only in certain places will that occur, such as the area referred to in this video. There will be a few other places and of course in time the spreading of such influence will expand but generally speaking if you're asking whether everyone everyplace will be recreating their reality more and more in these ways through dreams I'd say not immediately but there is more.

I believe it is our job to utilize the benevolent suggestions in our dreams to create - yes - a more benevolent reality and also to simply allow that a more benevolent reality could happen.

So recommendation, I feel it's very important out there for everyone to say this once a day. You don't have to do it because I say so, just say it and see how you feel. Maybe the first few times you'll feel silly but after a while it might just help. I recommend you say, "Things could get better." Then pause for a moment. Then say, "Things could get better for me." That's what I recommend.

Goodlife.

2009 Predictions: Las Vegas, Part 2

The dreaming process in suburban Las Vegas will help people to re-create their lives in a more benevolent way and through this focus not only attract people there but also attract people with an energy that will support such re-creation.

The Waking Up Process Is Upon Us

When in an awakened state we glance around and sense our environment - there is a moment when we're uncertain. Where are we? What am I in this life? Am I organic? Am I mineral? What am I? These are not always thoughts but it is a range of feeling one goes through from the deep dream state to the wake state.

This is not what I'm talking about however. Right now all over the world human beings are waking up and you will have lucid moments when you feel fully 90% of your natural native true personalities that you have beyond this planet in other lives.

In those moments they'll be a struggle: who am I, what am I, why am I here but then they'll be a calm followed perhaps by an excitement which will pass and then a calm again. Some of you will experience it as if it were a detachment but it's not really that. It's allowance and letting go but you haven't consciously done that, it just happens. In that sense, it's easy.

These moments will become more frequent for us all. They will feel in a way rather philosophical. The lives we have known up to that point will return but they'll be more and more of these moments. Don't let them frighten you. It is part of the waking up process - the remembering of who we really are which is the process we're all on right now.

It has to do with the feminine energy which has risen on the planet. I'm not talking about the feminine beings on the planet so much, though they feel it strongly. I'm talking about the planet herself. There is a reason we say Mother Earth because she does give life in many ways and support and nurture it in other ways.

Don't be alarmed when these moments happen for you or for others. They will pass and then as they get more frequent they will have a little longer duration and then as time goes on there will be only those moments and the old life will be forgotten.

We will still have loved ones, friends, companions, good work to do but there will be no more strife. How many times have you prayed for heaven on Earth. It will be that in the most benevolent way for all beings. We are loved and this is happening out of a gift package provided by Creator who feels we have done enough to accomplish what we came here to do. We're waking up slowly so it's not frightening though they'll be those moments of doubt when we're lucid.

It will be all right. It will be with ease - more and more so. Goodlife.

2009 Predictions: Las Vegas, Part 1

Those who live in suburban Las Vegas will now be experiencing a form of heightened dream state that is driven on by an urgent need to get more sleep. This heightened dream state if practiced with care and studied properly can be used to recreate your life in a more benevolent fashion as well as to understand your life in a way that allows insights and a certain acquisition of wisdom.

2009 Predictions: Duluth

Ancient personality traits will emerge from hundreds of years ago in the most benevolent way in Duluth as well as some other areas. This is explained and explored in some detail in this video.

Duluth will also become considerably more popular as a place to visit for extended stays because of the personality of the people and the buoyant personality traits that come to the surface for visitors as well.

2009 Predictions: Medicine Hat

An energy now from Mother Earth's heart is radiating up into, through and around Medicine Hat that will stimulate, support and have benevolent impacts in Medicine Hat and beyond.

Explorer Race Books Index (Free Download)

I want to announce something here. So very many of you have requested this and now a very large portion of it is available. My publisher Light Technology has gone to the great time and effort to create an index of the first 12 Explorer Race books.

I know that many of you have commented that you remember reading something about a subject you're interested in, in one of the books but you can't remember where. This index will allow you to find the subject you're interested in and find out where it was referred to in the first 12 books.

While it doesn't cover every book I channeled and have had published by Light Technology it does cover, as I say, the first 12. So that's a big step and I'm hopeful that you will enjoy exploring that. It's available as a free download at ExplorerRace.com so it's going to be easy and convenient for you to use.

Goodlife.

2009 Predictions: Tucson

Artists and the artistic community as well as the creative community are being drawn to Tucson right now to develop a community that will contribute and transform the area in the most benevolent way.

2009 Predictions: Chicago

The children now of Chicago, especially the very young, are going to create the most wonderful world much of which has been hoped for and dreamed for by older generations including you who may be reading this - things you've thought were lost in the past and you wished were still part of Chicago or things you dreamed about and hoped that Chicago could stand for that are likely to be a portion of Chicago as that generation grows up. Look forward to it.

Time, space and connections to all things. In this part of Connecting To & Pulling Toward Objects a little more is explained as to the why to learn these things including the concept and capability of collapsing time. This is not done to harm but only to help and it is a precursor to learning how to travel in time.

Speaks Of Many Truths on Balance

People often ask me if I have any favorite parts of the books that I've put out and here is one of my favorites I thought I'd share with you. It's from Shamanic Secrets for Material Mastery.

What I like about it is its clarity and simplicity while including details and sort of show how in words. I hope you like it, I know I do.


Chapter 22: How to Walk, How to Eat
Speaks Of Many Truths

Homework in Walking, Becoming Aware of Imbalance

I'd like to suggest that you walk barefoot outside (that's the best way, but if you must be inside, then alright) on the front part of your foot with the back part raised up. First put down the front part, then the back part. When you do this I want you to imagine that you are walking on a platform, something being held in place for your benefit. I cannot tell you how helpful this is to give you a working physical feeling of balance.

Many of you say to me in one way or another that your life is out of balance, it's too extreme one way or another. It seems almost rudimentary to imagine that a simple exercise like this done two or three times a week until you get used to it will allow you to regain some balance. But you'd be surprised how many lessons can be learned without the requirement of intellectual thought or even reasoning. They are learned by physical actions. When you feel physically what balance feels like, then you will notice - physically - when your life is out of balance because you won't have that feeling of balance that you experience when you're doing this homework.


I've included this here because I feel that the book I've quoted from has so many valuable tips and so much guidance that is also of value besides all of the massive amount of material on how we relate physically to the physicality and geography of Mother Earth that this is, I must admit, one of my all time favorite books that I have provided and I'm hopeful that you will find that it is of value as well.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connecting To & Pulling Toward Objects, Part 1

Learning how to acquire that which you want and need in the most benevolent way while learning how to focus on your capacity for material mastery.

More On Compassion

Part 1:


Is thought really intended to insulate us from our feelings. Horace Walpole seemed to indicate that in this quote, "Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel." And yet perhaps even in his day people had forgotten how to interact with their own feelings.

As you all know, who have read these blogs, a great deal of what I'm trying to do here is teach how to interact with your own feelings and the feelings of others because that has everything to do with these times.

I recently got a question, which you may have seen on this blog, from Anonymous L* who at times is overwhelmed by feelings and compassion for all life and is wondering - is there something wrong with them. Or perhaps I might state, is there something that could be corrected in others.

I cannot comment directly on the urgency from Anonymous L's personal situation but what I can say is that I feel that once we all know how to work with our feelings - what they mean, and I'm talking about physical feelings here, and how they can bring us into greater understanding of all life around us and thus help us to connect with our natural native personalities that exist beyond this Earth plane as we know it - we will live better.

I do not wish to suggest that Horace Walpole was mistaken for I feel that even in our now times a great many people believe and/or practice thought instead of attempting to understand and interpret their feelings but I am hopeful that in my small way I may be able to contribute towards a greater understanding of feelings.


Part 2:


...And especially for Anonymous L and others who feel overwhelmed by compassion:

Sometimes compassion is from the outside in - meaning one has a sense of feeling heart towards another being who is suffering but other times especially when one is overwhelmed by the suffering of others or the perceived suffering as one might feel towards a planet one may very well be extending unconsciously from one's self to the other actually taking on their suffering for themselves and if they do that, though they may not actually feel the intensity of the pain, they would feel the urgency for relief.

So - given that I'd like to suggest something. If you are feeling overwhelmed with compassion and it is actually interfering with your life - stop for a moment.

This does not mean if you're driving a car stop in the middle of the road but if you are driving, carefully move over to the side of the road and park well off the highway for example or if you are performing some task that requires your absolute attention finish the task and then stop and go sit down someplace - you understand. In short, find someplace to sit down for a moment.

If it's daytime close your eyes and look up towards the sun. If it's nighttime you can glance towards the moon. The point is to redirect your attention towards a planetary body that is not suffering. Regardless of the impacts we may see in photographs of the moon I have felt the moon at a distance and I can tell the moon is at peace. I feel the same for the sun, for the sun often reaches out to bring its light elsewhere as we know.

My feeling is this concentrated effort allows you to separate yourself from taking on the feelings of others. This planet is a very difficult place at times - we all know that. One of the things we must allow however even though it may seem hard at first or even harsh is we must allow other people to have their feelings.

Sometimes when compassion gets the better of us - meaning we are not just feeling tender or feeling heart or love for those who are suffering but we are actually reaching into them unconsciously pulling out their feelings and feeling them - we might be preventing them from using their own feelings to make changes in their lives that may serve them better.

We know that this planet is a school for human beings and we also know that there are many times and challenges that make it difficult for other beings.

I do say this however, the feeling of compassion is often a valued thing and can help and guide others when taught gently if the others are open and receptive to it but if you are feeling overwhelmed by the feelings of others perhaps it might be best to let them have their feelings.

So at that moment try to look at something that is calm. If you cannot glance towards the sun with your eyes closed to protect your eyes or if you cannot see the moon then perhaps a large rock or boulder will do. Sometimes even a hillside, someplace that is natural - a part of nature but since many live in cities and do not always have that available such as a big old tree in a park - not a young tree but a big old tree then very often glancing towards the moon or even towards the sky on a cloudy day will help you to disconnect from taking on the feelings of others.

That's what I recommend. Goodlife.

*Portions of Anonymous L's comment:

My Soul has created a condition of bi-polar mood disorder for my Being to deal with in this life...I am extremely sensitive to what I perceive as the suffering of the natural world (animals, plants, rocks, the planet, the trials and tribulations of people, and on & on.)

This creates strong feelings and a heavy emotional involvement that act as BIG distractions for me in my creation of what I need for a good life.

Can I somehow limit my emotional sensitivity? How can I over ride the 'wiring' of my soft- heartedness that may eventually be the cause of my material decline and my inability to create a livlihood and a joyous life?

Physical Awareness Training, Part 3

Continuing your education to focus on one thing and to build on your spiritual capacities to make contact and ultimately to emerge from the haze of life that we've all been living for many years to the clarity of spirituality incorporated into your day to day life benevolently.

The Soul

Men are not connected to Earth the same way women are, that is why they're always looking for something to believe in - often outside themselves and as a result they are susceptible to making mistakes by following leaders who may or may not have their best interests in mind or in heart to say nothing of the best interests of others.

Women on the other hand are not quite as susceptible because they have a connection to Earth that is unlike men. They have creation inside of them. Life can be created inside of them and perpetuated as it passes through them thus their connection to Earth is deeper.

Long ago before the human being existed there was devised an experiment, an idea:

How can we refine the soul of all beings so that it is in balance. It can do when called upon or it can support and nurture when needed. It can relax and be or it can expand and be more.

What can be done there? Thus the experiment which came to be known as - the genetic experiment on Earth of which you are all the result - came into being. The concept was - how to take a whole being, break them up into portions and find out what works well and what doesn't on its own.

Now we find ourselves in a time when we are re-establishing ourselves as one. One with our fellow souls on the Earth but also one in ourselves.

Men and women, the two parts that were decided to come from the one that we all are as a soul, will not be disappearing. The human race exists in other parts of the galaxy and beyond and is benign and benevolent but here, because polarity was added to the mix, there has been a great deal that has not been benevolent and yes - at times even malevolent.

So the re-establishment of the benign human being is under way on Earth and it will become something that we can all feel good about in trusting that future generations will be this thing.

No longer the genetic experiment on Earth, no longer having parts broken off from our "soul genome." Now simply becoming our natural selves again step by step. This has many names.

Some call it The Ascension Process, which does not mean that you ascend literally from the Earth but is more symbolic meaning that you become your natural soul self on the Earth. Other ways are simply known as the re-establishment of your natural native personalities through becoming your true natural selves.

I'll say more about these things in time but I wanted to give you that hint and that reminder. A great deal of this is discussed in The Explorer Race book and to a degree the books that follow it but this is just a reminder of who you are, where you're from, why you're here, what you're doing and in time where you're going which is home.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Physical Awareness Training, Part 2

Continuing our process of interspecies communication we extend into the tree and join with the tree as a portion of ourselves remaining in our own bodies and yet in touch with the tree and the tree in touch with us. Thus establishing a form of interspecies communication and your preparations to do more.

Urgent: This is The Time Of The Welcoming

Greetings. Something important is happening now and I feel it's really urgent for you to know about it. This is the time of the welcoming. It's most important that you understand what that means.

You have thoughts, everyone does, and sometimes they are accompanied by pictures. This is particularly important for people who have pictures in their minds or come up for this or that reason - and this is why.

This time in our lives are truly preparing us for the way things are in our natural normal native personalities beyond this Earth plane as we know it.

There if we need something it will come up in our present memory - meaning that which is available for us but that we are not always conscious of if we don't need it or if it is something say - associated with someone else.

With that kind of present memory you might need this or that as a spirit being or as a physical being someplace else on some other planet in some other life and then that thing will be attracted to you but only that which is just right for you - meaning you are compatible with that thing what ever it may be and that thing is compatible with you - alright - you understand - but since we are now in the time of the welcoming something similar is happening and since on the other planes of existence that we live in most of the time such a experience occurs where a picture will come up because it's something we need - you can see where I'm going with this on a now Earth plane - yes in our now existence.

As long as the picture comes up of something that we need, not necessarily a specific something or someone but some thing general that we need - friends for example - there's a good chance that those who were just the right friends for you will like you and appreciate you just the way you are and whom you will like and appreciate just the way they are will be attracted to you and you will be attracted to them.

It won't be something glaringly obvious but it will be something that you'll both notice. Perhaps subtly at first and then as you get better acquainted you'll realize that this person could be a good friend for you and they'll have a similar realization - but you've noticed that for a time now.

The time we're in now represents a wonderful opportunity but there are hazards as well and that's why I want to talk to you today about that. The opportunity is that, as I mentioned before, if you need something - it's something to consider trying to shift your gears into needing something in a general way - as my example with friends - rather than in a specific way - meaning you want a car you saw on the car lot and only that car will do.

You might just have a picture that comes up of a broad spectrum of cars or that you need transportation or that you sure would enjoy being able to be in a car going someplace that you'd like to go - like that, not trying to program your present moment memory here.

Conversely there's another thing that could come up and I think some of you have noticed it. If you're frightened of some thing, not necessarily someone as an individual but some thing - oh perhaps you're concerned that...to use something innocuous but annoying, you're concerned that birds will start making their deposits on your freshly washed car - okay. That could happen and if not immediately - very soon after the picture comes up.

So here's the discipline that's going to be necessary for us all and it may not be easy. We're going to have to try and focus on encouraging ourselves to bring up pictures of things that we want and if something comes up that's a fear to immediately or as quickly as possible shift that picture to something that's desirable - meaning, to use my example, instead of the picture of your car being dive-bombed by the local feathered population that you would quickly shift your picture to something of your car sitting shiny in the driveway or wherever you have it and looking wonderful - and focus on that for a little longer and then let it go completely.

This is not a time when you can simply say, "No, change that." Words won't do. You have to use a picture as a substitute.

I just wanted to bring that to your attention because I feel that it's something that - if you know about it and you know what to do about it it can make a big difference in your life.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Physical Awareness Training, Part 1

Learning to use your physical body for communications beyond yourself and between yourself and a completely different species of being. In this part we will begin with preparations and move on in the next 2 parts to the completion of this means to communicate from one species to another.

Preparing To Meet ETs

I've been concerned lately because I've seen an increasing incidence of demonizing. Many of you have noted this or been in closer contact with it in some uncomfortable way of this group or that group being demonized*.

There is also a tendency to demonize the unseen. For the most part most people have not seen, in personal contact, extraterrestrials. We may have seen lights in the sky - even things identifiable as vehicles but most of us have not actually been in the physical presence of an extraterrestrial.

I'm not bringing this up because I have been, I'm bringing it up because I'm concerned with the ongoing efforts to demonize a particular group of ETs. I grant that they are not the most socially adept and have not been socially adept in the past but they are learning, they're getting better at it and we will be meeting them in the future in a benevolent way.

There are many stories, some of which may be apocryphal but others are simply narratives of peoples experience of meeting these beings throughout the years. I'm referring to beings from Zeta Reticuli**.

I have had contact with these beings in my youth and it was a benevolent contact. I don't think there's that many stories about, that indicate that this can be a benevolent experience but part of the reason I've been going out of my way to suggest this way or that way in various blogs and other places that meeting extraterrestrials will require a certain amount of preparation on our part is that they might just prefer to be welcomed rather than shut out as any of us might.

Now I believe - and I've heard stories from people and many occasions of those stories I do believe that others have met extraterrestrials that look just like us and for the most part there's no way of telling because they do look like us and if they've been properly prepared then they're just going to be amongst us.

Now I don't think that happens much these days but I do feel that it's important that if we want extraterrestrials to be with us, to come around to help us out and maybe to offer them some help - we can do this, we have experiences, we have expertise - then it's important to not start condemning them as a group without taking into account that they are in fact individuals.

I have read in many places what people seem to want to say - that they're not individuals because they've met them in group situations or have heard about meeting them in group situations. Well I've been in group situations with human beings and I know you have too and it'd be very easy for someone who is not a member of that group or simply a visitor to see us all in that group as one thing. So if you've been labeled you know what I'm talking about.

So this might seem to be premature to you but I feel that our meetings with extraterrestrials - if not on an individual basis being immanent - I feel on a planet to planet basis may be sooner than we think.

Lets not prepare ourselves by being biased against this or against any single group. Lets practice this by expecting that when we meet an individual of any group here on this planet be they human being, plant or animal or spirit that we greet them as individuals and not as things.

Just a little reminder for you. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Global Community, Part 2

A long range view of changes in our population. Ideals, practices and what we might expect for coming generations experiences. A little reassurance for you.

Global Community, Part 1

There is an underlying cause of all the change and sometimes tumult going on on Earth now and this cause will ultimately lead to a good thing that will support and provide for us all.

Motions, Magic and Living Prayers

There's been a question and I feel that it warrants a greater display here since I believe at times I have encouraged this type of thing and at other times not so. So let me quote the question here:


I have just accessed your blog entries on Benevolent Magic and Living Prayers. I have known of them from The Sedona Journal--but you are giving more and greater information on these blog entries.

Here is my question: I am following the format of your words and actions in general--but while I am working, I sometimes (often) feel the physical impulse to perform different motions with my hands/arms/head...body.

I love being responsive to my body cues as I have only recently learned to feel and trust them (in 50+ years!)---but what impact is this having on my magic/prayer/intent?


And I have this to offer. In the case of Living Prayer that is not associated with anything other than stating some words - of course first asking for all the most benevolent energies that are available for you to be all around and about you as I often say - so that's a little different you see than more elaborate aspects that may use Living Prayer to a degree such as you might find in True Magic or even other elaborate essentially ceremonial - meaning involving the physical self, sometimes the sun, the moon, sometimes other aspects of physical life and benevolent beings in a more involved process...

So here's the answer without getting too analytical. Generally speaking if you're simply saying a Living Prayer or a Benevolent Magic then if you feel like you want to move your body to a degree I feel that's alright. I would recommend though just moving hands or arms and sitting in one spot.

There's a reason for that. If you move around too much - and get up and move around - there can be a situation that develops that the energies that are working with you will be in the original location where you asked the Preamble* - that you're asking for all the most benevolent energies...They'll come to where you are then you see but if you get up and move around extensively without the proper training that goes into this process, which I may at some point be able to teach you though I'm not sure if that would be possible in this format, then it might be better to stay in the original place you were physically when you made that request.

Still I feel it is alright to move hands and arms into positions that might want to be taken but recognize that this may be an experiment on your part and it may very well have an effect on what you feel and even the outcome. So if it's something that you feel energy for - when you ask for those energies to be present you see - if the motions that your body takes cause that energy feeling to disappear then I recommend that you do not take those motions.

If on the other hand the energy remains or is heightened then perhaps a motion like that and motions like that in the future might be acceptable and even desirable. You will have to experiment.

Sometimes you will be unhappy because once you've asked for something in the case of a Benevolent Magic you don't repeat that, it's once only - not meaning that you can only say Benevolent Magic once only but that you can only use those specific words for a specific purpose in a benevolent magic once only.

You can of course change the - what you are requesting for in a Benevolent Magic as you have seen - those of you who have been reading this blog and my others extensively.

So I realize this sounds like a little of this and a little of that but generally speaking what's going on here between me to you is training and I do not wish to keep you from expanding on your inspiration but keep in mind that while you will use more inspirations in time that in the beginning, especially if you are just getting started with this that I am teaching here, it might be better to perform the process as stated.

Still, in the case of the original questioner L, I do recommend that you personally allow very slight motions following the guidelines I've given here. I hope that is some help to many of you besides L.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Here is the usual Preamble that one might say before doing a Living Prayer, Benevolent Magic or even a True Magic.

You might say, "I am asking that all the most benevolent energies that are available for me be all around me and all about me now in the most benevolent way for me."

Then you would pause and wait to feel something. Some of you might not feel anything, especially when you're just beginning to learn these things but in time you probably will. In that case just pause for about 30 seconds to a minute.

Humans: Descendants of ETs

The difference between extraterrestrials and the people of Earth is much more slight than you might initially think.

Easing into Other Cultures, Part 2

The behaviors of many now will include motions - sometimes spontaneous, other times repetitious that may have their original roots as otherworldly inspirations on Earth. All of these variations of behaviors in communication however are rooted in an ability to accept and demonstrate the ways of others.

Easing into Other Cultures, Part 1

Interacting with other cultures in a way that is safe and benevolent for you and for them might very well prepare everyone to interact with truly different cultures.

The Reciprocal Moon

Adapting to the moon's feminine qualities will not only bring more light into your life but can also ease your passage from one state of being to another. At the very least, your sleeping into dreaming time and perhaps other stages of life as well.

The Spiritual Functions of the Sun

How the sun interacts with us all in our own spiritual being and how we can best return that outreach from the sun by engaging with the sun ourselves. This will give us greater strength and more.

Comfort in the Palm of your Hand

A simple way to create comfort and harmony on the physical, feeling and mental planes for you now that you can do easily and in just a moment.

Harmony Between Worlds

The animals and all life will help us to discover more of who we are and thus help to create a better harmony between our world, the afterlife and worlds beyond. In this way we will be able to know more about ourselves and understand our purpose a little better.

Living Prayer for Lingering Souls

Helping those souls who have passed over suddenly and unexpectedly to move on in the most benevolent way for them and for others, thus easing life all around for all beings.

Interspecies Language - 2

More about communication in its varieties in the natural world and to an extent within the human world as well.

Interspecies Language - 1

The appearance now with very young children of nonverbal communication often using the eyes and hand gestures will simply be representing a continuation of what is seen in other worlds as well as on Earth between other types of beings.

It is not to be alarmed about this. It is a evolution towards developing a universal language.

A Shaman's Apprentice, Part 2

There is more to be said. There is no question that you will be tested and by tested I do not mean the finger, so to speak, proverbially coming out of the sky to grab you by the collar and shake you - meaning you will not be put through some horrible test but rather life all around you will at times attract you - you will be pulled this way, you will be pulled that way.

The way to know that you are on the Shaman's path, and it is your intent, is that no matter which way you are pulled - and you will be pulled - you will always begin to notice what needs help, who needs help, "How can I help in this situation." That will tell you you are on that path.

There is more. There will also be a tendency at times to want recognition but a great deal of your work will be done in secret. This is not because you are trying to hide out from anyone, rather it is because it is not necessary - very often - for you to have any direct contact with the parties involved whom you are trying to help.

You will hear about something from someone - perhaps you will hear about it from a source or even a news report, someone will tell you something. In short something will come to your attention which then you can act upon in the ways in which you have been trained to improve the quality of life for the people and places where this thing has happened.

Most of the time, as I say, people will not know that you have had anything whatsoever to do with the improvements that they may experience. They may even credit others for that, or their own prayers which is a possibility in terms of it helping - no questions about that. So if you are attracted to public recognition or appreciation of what you may be doing as a Shaman this is probably not the job for you.

I know it's sounding more and more like this is something impossible or difficult to do but I don't feel that way. I feel that more and more these days that people are seeing around them what's really going on. They are feeling with their senses what's happening and what needs to be improved. They are noticing how much people are really alike and how very small in terms of percentages are our differences.

This kind of recognition will smooth the path towards desiring to know how to apply that which I have already taught in part on my A Mystical Man's World and on my Benevolent Magic site as well as all the other places I put up knowledge and information.

So...further on my answer to you. I feel that this is a good path for you Questioner, if it is something you feel attracted to. I also feel that a great many of you out there are leaning in this direction for one reason or another and that's alright. Look into your hearts and into your feelings as to what you want to do.

Read my blogs and read the books if you like to see if you're drawn to doing some of these things. If you want to find your own answers, if you want to contribute - that's so important - and if you do then find a way.

Ask someone to help you, ask someone to guide you but don't ask someone to lead you. My feeling is that our desire for leaders these days is truly a desire to tell someone, "Help me for I cannot help myself." And if you feel that you cannot help yourself the Shaman's Way and the Path of the Mystical Person or Medicine Person may not be for you but if you ask someone to help you, to guide you, to teach you - that's different and then this path may just be for you.

I wish you many blessings on that path if you choose to follow it, all those of you out there who are interested, and I am hopeful you will find the best teachers to help you along the way. Goodlife.

A Shaman's Apprentice, Part 1

Someone has asked a question that is getting asked more and more these days so I will make a brief public reply.


Comment with question:

I have followed you, Mr. Shapiro, through more than 10 years of The Sedona Journal and am delighted to have just recently found this site. The Grandfather videos are a treasure, thank you so very much for posting them on the Internet.

I've received advice that I would benefit from working with a Shaman as an apprentice. Can Grandfather comment on this, please?

Again, many, many thanks.


There are people now that are attracted to working with a Shaman or a Mystical Man or a Mystical Woman (or a Medicine Man or Medicine Woman). This is a natural progression considering the interests of the day and the more awareness that people have about life around them.

So I would say the following to this particular questioner who really with this question represents many people which is why I can answer it.

First - regardless of what you've been told about it being good for you to do this or that ask yourself, "Is this something I want to do? Would this be a way I'd like to commit to something that I would learn from and that there would be a great many responsibilities for."

When you learn from a Shaman or Mystical Person or other the art and craft of what's involved you also change as a person. It involves a lot of self-examination and introspection in order to be certain of your purpose and your ideals. This happens along the way all the time and never really stops.

It's not questioning yourself, that's not the case, it is more however checking that your natural human reactions to life around you aren't influencing your actions as a person of wisdom. You must then remain to a degree separated from those motivations.

This might create a degree of separation on your part from some aspects of society. It doesn't mean you have to live in a cave or be aloof - that's not it - though some people might think you're aloof but it isn't that. It's that in order to do your work objectively, in order to create and help to create benevolent outcomes for people, places, things, everything - you cannot be biased one way or another.

This means that even if someone has caused grief, if you are going to be able to help the person who was injured - the injured party eh - you must not act against anyone, and I mean anyone, in order for the most benevolent outcome to take place - whatever form of shamanic practice or mystical practice or even medicine practice - it cannot be against, it must be for. In this way all parties agree at the soul level and more likely the outcome will be benevolent for all beings.

This will be difficult because many times you might even feel a personal bias or you might feel that someone has been wronged but it's very important to engage with that. It will be a discipline all your life as a Shaman, as a Mystical Person, as a Medicine Person or other.

I will speak more about these things as time goes on but I feel it's important because it addresses not only the idea of being an Apprentice and the commitment to do the same but it literally addresses the values, the morals, the purposes and the intents of being that particular occupation which is more than a job. It is a way of life that takes place in every waking moment and I believe even in sleep.

So...ponder on that for a time and I will speak again on this topic here. Goodlife.

Feel More Calm & Comfortable

Have you been told you need to let go? Here are details to show you how to let go and release your tension in the quickest and simplest way that will work physically as well as mentally.

2009 Predictions "Flowers For You"

Something wonderful is going to happen this year. A vision, a moment, an experience you will all have this year - though some of you might experience it just a little later. It will be the presence, the actual presence of one of your Spirit Guides, Teachers or Angels.

You will experience this in a way that is co-ordinated with the manner in which you experience these beings at the deep sleep level and before life and after life. It will be however, this time, during life.

The Human Variety

Variations in the physical body are upon you now. It will be seen in successive generations and seen by medical personnel and others, with children to come. Don't worry about this being some disease. These variations will have to do with your true physical form emerging.

The Coming of Heaven on Earth

Exciting changes are coming in most of your lifetimes that will allow you to express much more of your greater souls personality as well as to experience other life forms in an expanded perspective and many of these other life forms who are familiar to you on Earth - animals, dogs for example, will encourage you to bring that process forth just by being themselves. These changes are part of the awakening that has long been promised.

Express Your Feelings -2

It's alright to be human. You can practice it. You can demonstrate it. Try to do so in the most benevolent way but do allow yourself to be human.

Express Your Feelings -1

It's important now to live in a different way - to express your feelings, to be more forthcoming and to allow others to do the same.
