Ameliorating Your Environment

& the Responses of Others:

A Requirement for the 5DI

Lecture based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

If you meditated on your Guardian Angel every day, you would be on a very good track. Sometimes she sends a waft of mysterious perfume to you or taps you lightly on the head or shoulder. She is the still, small voice of reason that is easy to ignore.

2. What is the only concern we should have for the outcome of any situation?

That it be according to the Divine Plan. It is also okay for the situation to be harmonious, to bring blessings to all involved, for good chi to circulate, for everyone to be blessed beyond their happiest dreams and expectations, and for many other nice things. The most important attitude, however, is to surrender to the Divine Order. This takes the resistance out of your approach and allows the right thing to occur.

Whenever we are emotionally invested in our expectations or desires for a certain thing to happen, we put up interference for God’s Plan to activate. In order to avoid getting your panties in a bunch over a situation, it is helpful to use an affirmation such as “I trust in the order of the Divine Plan,” or “I believe in God’s Perfect Timing and Perfect Plan.”

3. When undergoing a cycle of testing or a tough circumstance, how should we address our emotions?

This is naturally a stressful time, and the challenge of the game is to “keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole” [e.e. cummings]. In other words, avoid dwelling on how things seem. Instead, focus your thoughts and words on how things ought to be. Speak as though your life is going smoothly. Chortle about how good your health is. Tell yourself that there is a ton of money in your bank account. Pronounce that your relationships are supportive and loving.

Also, acknowledge that this peccadillo has occurred for a reason. Ask for enlightenment without suffering. This is so that the lesson becomes clear to you without having to experience the inconvenience and pain of the hard way.

4. What are some good affirmation to repeat during times of chaos or confusion?

We are all winners in the Divine Plan.

I am whole. I am complete. I am safe.

I am safe, and I enjoy perfect timing.

Everyone agrees with the Divine Plan.

God gives me everything I need for my success.

Everything goes my way in a perfect way.

I am in the center of a mighty explosion of blessings that affect my entire city.

5. Which Chakra should we cleanse and heal frequently during these times?

You guessed it—it’s the Solar Plexus Chakra, about 4 to 6 inches above your navel. There are many varieties of methods to clean the SP, and they all work well. You can also say:

Thank you, Healing Angel, for cleansing and healing my Solar Plexus and all its related systems and organs.

6. Which herbs and vitamins are helpful to the body to give it strength and endurance so that we can turn our energies to harmony and success?

Ginseng is especially nice during times of stress, as it gives you the oomph to punch through anxiety and indecision. Dark green vegetables or health drinks (such as spirulina, wheat grass, or Green Machine) boost the immune system and lymph system. Kelp aids the thyroid, which becomes depleted during high-adrenaline times. L-Lysine maintains energy, provides endurance, and resists herpes viruses. Chicken boosts the immune system. Soy products do all sorts of crazy good things. Oats, barley, and quinoa change the chemical balance of the blood into a more healing mode.

7. Meditation Exercise: Rolls off like Water

Feeling attached to a specific outcome is the greatest danger to using personal power. Following is a short movement exercise that relaxes the body and allows emotional space during times of pressure.

• Sitting comfortably, imagine yourself sitting inside a large, blue onion.

• All of the concerns of your day are around you, but they do not penetrate the blue onion.

• Reaching down to your feet, trace your hands upward along the shape of the onion—out and up to the stem. Repeat for a total of three times.

• Position your hands in reverence (palms together) over your head. Say, “I am here for Divine Purpose. I touch these people for Divine Connection. Together we fulfill the Divine Plan. As a unit we achieve blessing and enlightenment. Enlightenment without suffering for all of us, O LORD.”

Antibodies to Chaos

The tiny plankton float, at the mercy of the tides of the ocean. They go where the currents take them, and their reality is the reality of an uncontrollable environment. Hot and cold, light and dark, these are the masters of their short lives. They hunt, feed, mate, and die like their larger sea companions, but their world is without the possibility of choice.

You, on the other hand, have reached a level that demands a change on this level of consciousness. You are no longer enthralled by merciless nature. Your reality is the reality of active faith, whether you acknowledge this dynamic or not. The time has come to stop reacting to stimuli like the plankton and to hold the world in your hand. Whatever you think of yourself, you are greater than this. Whatever you think of the world, there is more than this.

We have spoken about karmic cycles, the dynamics of relationships, and the universal laws of will-force, service, thought power, and personal power. All of these are involved in the topic that we explore today.

A Fifth Degree Initiate—5DI—must be able to extend the highest frequencies of his or her aura throughout the territory in which she or he resides. At any lower Initiation, this may also be accomplished to a lesser scope. You will find this useful in your daily activities, as it creates the beneficial effects of increased harmony, productivity, enlightened point of view, and a cleared pathway to successful outcomes.

Let us start small. Today, someone or an incident has come into your field of interaction. This person or circumstance will directly impact your wellbeing, schedule, and life direction. Other than for obvious reasons, this influence occurs because our lives are each intricately interlaced with hundreds of connected lives, events, and feelings. The direction of a life can change profoundly through a word, a chosen route to work, a slight delay of action. Your personal success at stake, let’s earnestly begin to create a positive chain reaction in the network of your life.

Following is a one-minute procedure designed to focus your intention on the blessing of a person or occasion. The more often you do this technique, the more facile will it become as you develop a higher skill level.

1) On a scrap of paper, write down the name of the person or the incident that will be treated. Say the name out loud. Fold the scrap into a manageable size to fit comfortably in your hand. Astrally, you have just created a small thought form—an effigy, if you will. This archetype will conduct energy through your intention into the subject’s highest impulses. You may hold the paper with palms together or cupped closed—any way you like that feels correct and natural to you.

2) Maintain visualization of the Golden Waterfall pouring into the Crown Chakra. Be aware of the Golden Flower on the crest of your forehead. As you breath in and out, feel Divine Energy flowing into you, extending out through the Golden Flower, into the piece of paper, and out to the subject.

--If this is a person, see him or her

•aglow with Divine Light

•the Spirit of Truth and Wisdom pouring enlightenment into [her/his/their] Crown Chakra[s]

•happy and inspired

•emotionally supported and successful on all levels.

--If this is a situation, visualize all the energies and the people involved blessed in the same way.

3) Say these elements out loud. Wait until you have completed this image of blessing, and then say, “Lock on.”

4) While maintaining this living picture in your thoughts, breathe slowly five times. You may rock gently forward as you inhale.

5) If the subject is crystallized or dense, you may have trouble focusing your attention for the entire five breaths. Just relax and repeat the procedure. Saying the blessing aloud is very conducive to good focus.

6) As you dispose of the paper (round file is perfectly fine) say, “God bless _____________________.”

When a predicament is complicated, do this procedure for each element of the circumstance.

The difference between a dark prince and an adept is basic—the dark prince has made a habit of spending personal power when involving him/her self in the quest for an outcome. Where ever the intentions may lie, the act of Astral pushing creates a chain reaction of disharmony that shudders throughout the universe. Some 4DIs pop back and forth until they understand the deep nature of what they choose. We give thanks that on this physical level the dynamics are very slow, low energy, and easily fixed.

You may know what is right and what is wrong. You may have an opportunity to manipulate changes on the surface of events. Still, you cannot predict all the possible futures while you make your single choice. You cannot see the scope of the karmic dances for everyone involved. Most of the time, we are tempted to exert power when we are unhappy with the basic natures of the people around us. It is easy to feel wise when we are looking from the outside. The feeling is an illusion, however, and must be monitored.

Each lifetime, we are given bodies with specific parameters of emotional and physical limitations and potentials. Weaknesses can be used to gain empathy and spiritual strength. Talents can be used for the enhancement of life on personal and global levels. From our own little islands of flesh, we learn to view others with increasing acceptance for what they are going through and for what they have become. Understanding of the astrological, karmic, and genetic nature of each person’s body helps us to be the loving and validating friends we are supposed to be. We learn to love our friends as they are on the surface and in their hidden natures.

Our hidden selves can be felt through the essential signature.

Let us look at the physical surface for a moment. The following is a short list of key words for each western astrological sign. These natures are permanent to the physical body and cannot be removed, although they can be tamed and utilized. No sign is superior to another. We are ridiculous when we wish someone to be different from what they are. We are wise when we wish them to find and attain their highest blessing.
