December 12, 2008, Full Moon in Gemini
Moon full at 11:37 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Connection creates
Recognition of wholeness
Holy, Sacred Self
Well we are not in Kansas anymore and we are
not swirling in the tornado as we were all of last year. I think we have
landed in OZ. Things seem different although in subtle ways. As we move
toward the Winter Solstice on the 21st, the energy will continue to increase
and the Full Moon will further heighten that acceleration.
The Full Moon in Gemini calls forth communication in all its forms and adds to the speed with which we are traveling these days. With all the possibilities swirling around us it is important to choose wisely how we spend our energy and time. Accelerations always energize what is already present so be aware of what you are focusing on and what you are holding in your heart as we move through the Full Moon and Solstice. The Divine Child of Light can be born anew within us as we celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the Christ Light coming into the world.
Flowing through this day
Everything unfolds with ease
Always perfection

Pathway to the Stars: Entering the Circle of the Soul
Mystery School takes us on a journey to higher consciousness and the embodiment of the divine energy that we are. A prerequisite to using the laws of the universe, such as the Law of Attraction, in a conscious and deliberate way, is to be in alignment with your Higher Self or Soul. Manifestation from a lower level of consciousness usually brings us more lessons on mastering ourselves rather than the result that we desire. This course helps you to master each level of consciousness so that you may become a more conscious creator in your life.
This Mystery School course consists of five lessons. Each lesson includes written material with illustrations for study, a lecture, meditation exercises, homework that is emailed to Heron, and discussions questions for the discussion board.
Everyone taking the course has access to the Discussion Group so opportunity is available to connect with others who are studying the same Material. You may work through the lessons at your own pace.
Lesson 1 - Circles of Consciousness
Lesson 2 - Mastering the Circle of the Mind
Lesson 3 - Mastering the Circle of the Heart
Lesson 4 - Mastering the Circle of the Soul
Lesson 5 - Living from Awareness
Stalking awareness
Is like looking for water
While swimming in it
Restoring Faith - Think of the most profound spiritual experience
you have ever had. Replay it in you mind until you get the feeling level
of this experience in your heart. That is what a faithful mind does -
empower the heart. Place a crystal that has been cleared in salt water
(or by some other means) on your heart chakra while you are feeling this
to program the feeling into the crystal. Doing this on or within a day
or two of the Full Moon will magnify the effect. When your mind starts
to doubt over the next month, bring out the crystal and hold it to bring
back the heart feeling of knowing. This will strengthen your faith.
When my mind holds faith
My heart is free to guide me
From the highest place
Aligning the Mind and Heart - Get in
a comfortable position and take a few deep breaths to relax. Drop a root
down from your tailbone into the earth and then extend branches and leaves
out the top of your head into the stars. Center your awareness in your
heart chakra. Imagine that there is a temple or beautiful place in nature
there. As you enter, call in a guide that represents your heart to sit
with you in a feeling level of knowingness. Once you have touched into
the feeling level of the heart, invite a guide that represents the mind
to join you. Allow the mind to relax and be quiet in this beautiful place.
Let the mind know that you would like it to support your connection with
this feeling level as you move throughout your day. Ask what it needs
to be able to do this. Perhaps the heart and mind guides can come to an
agreement about how this support can be given and received. Notice what
it feels like to have your mind and heart in the same space in a supportive
relationship. When you feel ready come back into your body, taking a nice
deep breath, and open your eyes.
Heart and mind are one
When living from the center

Doubt, Faith, and Spiritual Change
Unlike physical change where results are quite noticeable
and agreed upon by all observing, spiritual change often goes unnoticed
and even not detectable, except perhaps by the most trained observer.
In the old world of physicality that we left - let's call it Kansas -
there was little room for doubt when change happened and little need for
faith. As we enter the new world of the spiritual - let's call that Oz
- both doubt and faith enter as prime players.
The types of changes that occur in Oz leave us wondering
whether it really happened and if it was really important. Not that spiritual
change hasn't been happening all along, it certainly has but with little
awareness on the part of the "changee". Sometimes one can look
back and see how different things are now on an inner level than they
were six months or a year ago, but it often doesn't seem like anything
is happening right at the time change occurs. Then there are the times
that you actually know that something very big just happened on a spiritual
level but you have no idea what it was. In those cases the mind goes into
doubt and tries to minimize the experience because it doesn't have an
explanation for the feeling.
Unlike physical change that we can measure and categorize,
spiritual change is on a feeling level that we often do not even have
words to describe. Sometimes others who are also aware can validate the
experience but often there is no validation, or not in a way that gives
us a level of certainty beyond doubt. Doubt and faith seem to go hand
in hand as we encounter the non-physical world, yet the more subtle awareness
of inner knowing begins to strengthen with each spiritual experience.
Learning to trust inner feeling is what faith allows
us to do, and through doubting our experience we allow the mind to register
its resistance to things that can't be measured or directly observed with
the five senses. Awareness of the limitations of the mind in the land
of Oz will lead us to greater reliance on the heart and inner experience.
Often something has to not work for us to stop trying to use it. In the
mean time, the mind will be learning to be faithful to the heart and spiritual
change will proceed at a more rapid pace than we ever though possible.
Soon we will all be acclimated to the ways of Oz and
spiritual truth will be evident to all. The dawning of this new time is
upon us and faith in the possibilities of an amazing world is growing
within us. Notice the doubt in your mind when it arises and then bring
your mind back into faith by aligning it with the feeling level of the
heart. This is a practice that will serve you well in the coming year.
You may look the same
But you feel very different
Lighter and brighter
