10 March 2010 - Courageous Dreaming by Alberto Villoldo PhD
We are what we think. Everything we are arises from our thoughts. With our thinking we create the world. --Buddha Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being. What we’re engaging in is not the sleeping dream we’re familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open. When we’re unaware that we all share the power to co-create reality with the help of the Universe itself, that power slips away from us and our dream turns into a nightmare. We begin to feel we’re the victims of an unknown and frightening creation that we’re unable to influence or change. Events seem to control us and trap us.

4 March 2010 - The Spirit of Ma’at - March 2010
The ALPHA AND OMEGA ISSUE Coming around the bend, out of Pisces, into the sign of the Ram we cross the equinoctial point and the yearly cycle begins all over again. The elemental forces and energies that are about to be birthed will soon remind us that we too are about to emerge and trace a whole new set of patterns into the matrix. With the idea that beginning again always involves releasing every worn out thought form and structure, the articles and videos in this month’s issue look at what that actually requires of us. Some of them will shock you. Others will inspire you to reflect on who you want to become as the next year unfolds – and there are a few that will take your mind into uncharted territory, or into areas that will open up a ...
