Sometimes loss is as important as the things we gain in life. Loss is similar to growing a tree, in order for a new branch to grow we must prune off the branches that are stressing the plant. The same is true for the human condition. As we go through life, there are always areas that need focus and attention. There are things we want to change for ourselves and others. Learning what to lose and what we may gain by doing it is an important as siezing opportunities, or harvesting. Loss is also a time for reflection, we must not gloss over loss, sometimes we need to embrace it in order to move forward. Grieving is just as important as happiness and when we lose something close to us, it usually comes back later in a different form. It is necessary to be careful not to over prune our branches though. it is easy to stress our plants and end up killing the project. So, in parting, embrace your loss and see it for what it is, a chance to grow and mulitply the harvest of our lives.

In 1912, Charles Haanel wrote The Master Key System. This book was originally a mail order course that consisted of 24 lessons over 24 weeks. You can find this book online in a PDF format, as it is now in the public domain.
However, many people read this book as a novel, not truly acquiring the lessons in the way it was originally conceived. So, One Consciousness is going to put this text on this website, in its original format, one a week for 24 weeks, as it was originally intended. If you do these lessons as they arrive, you will be truly be able to unlock a very special key to success and happiness.
The whole world is on the eve of a new consciousness, a new power and a new consciousness, a new power and a new realization of the resources within the self. The last century saw the most magnificent material progress in history. The present century will produce the greatest progress in mental and spiritual power.
It is my privilege to enclose herewith Part One of The Master Key System. Would you bring into your life more power, get the power consciousness, more health, get the health consciousness, more happiness, get the happiness consciousness. Live the spirit of these things until they become yours by right. It will then become impossible to keep them from you. The things of the world are fluid to a power within man by which he rules them.
You need not acquire this power. You already have it. But you want to understand it; you want to use it; you want to control it; you want to impregnate yourself with it, so that you can go forward and carry the world before you.
Day by day as you go on and on, as you gain momentum, as your inspiration deepens, as your plans crystallize, as you gain understanding, you will come to realize that this world is no dead pile of stones and timber, but that it is a living thing! It is made up of the beating hearts of humanity. It is a thing of life and beauty.
It is evident that it requires understanding to work with material of this description, but those who come into this understanding, are inspired by a new light, a new force, they gain confidence and greater power each day, they realize their hopes and their dreams come true, life has a deeper, fuller, clearer meaning than before.
And, now, Part One….

On November 8th, we entered the next phase of our global evolutionary upgrade, known as the Sixth Night of the Galactic Wave Movement, according to Mayan scholar Carl Johan Calleman. It’s a demanding time, and a bit messy, as planetary birth processes tend to be. But is it cause for alarm?
.jpg)
Until recently, comparatively few people were interested in Mayan culture or ancient prophecies. The Mayan Calendar, popularized in the West by authors such as Jose Arguelles (The Mayan Factor), Barbara Hand Clow (The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind) and Carl Calleman (The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness) touched a relatively small audience.
With the release of the doomsday movie 2012, however, that’s changing dramatically. Now that the end date of the Mayan Calendar — December 21, 2012, on our Gregorian calendar — is a scant three years away, people are beginning to panic. Is the world going to end? Is this like Y2K, only infinitely worse?
It depends where we choose to place our focus. Remember that the collapse predicted when the clocks struck midnight on December 31, 1999 never materialized. Our culture thrives on fear, and this latest movie is pure Hollywood, calculated to thrill, chill, and rake in box office profits — not to educate and enlighten. For that, we need to go to the source.
The Maya are now sharing their prophecy with the rest of the world in great detail, in an effort to clarify exactly what is happening, and why. One vehicle is the film, Shift of the Ages, which explains what this unique era in human history is all about.
The key word here is “era”. This is a global birth process, not an event. We’re in the midst of an extraordinary evolution in consciousness. The December “end” date — indeed, the year 2012 itself — are simply markers, signifying the conclusion of a vast cycle of time and transformation. People all over the planet have been awakening in stages for decades.
Now, humanity has reached what might be termed an “uncritical mass” of awakened souls, who are helping to guide the shift that’s taking place worldwide. Time is actually speeding up as we make these changes, and the acceleration creates all sorts of strange “symptoms”, both in our bodies and in the Earth’s body.

The view of health by Native Americans is both all encompassing and thoughtful. Traditional medicine can play a more stoic and relentlessly lend to the scientific approach, but Native Americans have a more holistic outlook.
Health is viewed as a balance or harmony of mind and body. The goal is to be in harmony with all things, which means first being in harmony with oneself. Harmony is thought to neutralize problems and help one’s life to become beautiful. Good health makes it easier for all people to do their part in the universe, to serve others, and to fulfill their personal life visions.
Life is considered in all of its dualities: winter/summer, cold/hot, day/night, mind/body, spiritual/physical, work/play, and so on. Native people believe that the two sides of everything deserve equal attention and that both should be nourished with love. A healthy person who is walking in balance is energized and alert, and even in the presence of disease will still feel alive and fulfilled.
Traditionally, Native American people lived long, happy, healthy, and balanced lives. They did everything to respect and honor Mother Earth and the Great Spirit. They ate wholesome food and considered all food to be blessed as a gift of life from the Creator. They got up with the sun and went to bed with the moon. Exercise was a natural part of their lives, integrated into daily activities. These good health habits, a sense of joy, and a purpose in life are key factors for living into old age.

Above, is my friend Matt. He was working an overnight shift at a twenty-four hour cafe when I snapped this shot. Let me tell you he was grateful for that clove cigarette when he was smoking it, even though it was the middle of winter in Michigan, freezing and damp. Since, he has quit the habit of smoking and is thankful for much more in life. Matt is a good friend of mine, and not only do I admire him, I am grateful for him and endebted to him. Gratitude, is it a sentiment, or central to our spiritual wellbeing?
I believe the more gratitude speaks in our lives, the less we have to really say. Should gratitude be a passing senitment in our experience, we have lost a guiding force. Therefore, it follows that gratitude is central to our spritual well being. We may act out of gratitude, we may feel grateful and we are grateful for things. But do we know gratitude? Do we understand gratitude? Spiritually speaking, gratitude is the forces of kindness, compassion, love, understading, humility, tolerance, faith, acceptance, fortitude, guidance, teachability, honor, trust and decency working together to conjure a manifestation of true feeling or emotion in the workings of human kind.
Humility and humbleness aid us in our mission to understand gratitude. Here in this 7 billion + human race we sometimes enjoy taking advantage of each other. This is the opposite of gratitude. Imagine the following: I am your friend. I follow you through you darkest moments and days of revelry. We have much to be grateful for. Then I start to lie, I steal from you, I use you vainly and for the sole intent of personal gain. All of the spirituality between us has vanished in a cloud of resentment. All because I took the friendship for granted. I discounted it. I took advantage of you and your good nature, and our firendship. Gratefullness is something that is know in Human-ness. We experience gratitude on a daily basis but, I feel we overlook it. Just like the above story. We assume all the good in our lives will always be good and the bad will just fix itself.
Gratitude is one of those things where we misplace it until we really need it most. Today’s assignment? I suggest that we all compile a gratitude list of things that we are grateful for in our lives today. Should you wish, compile it in the comment section of this blog post and I will start one now. I am grateful for another day. I am grateful for my mistakes, flaws and character defects as they are my biggest liability and best teachers. I am grateful for my work. I am grateful for oneconsciousness.org I am grateful for you. I am grateful for life. That is a short list but I don’t want to tie up all your time with my gratitudes.
However, should you make a daily meditation on gratitudes, you will carry around a lot less resentment toward yourself and others. By keeping gratitude central we may push out the unwanted or unhealthy spiritual properities.

A good case against the theory of reincarnation can be made based on the fact that few people are able to recall their former lifetimes with any certainty. Suspicion about a past life may flicker ever so slightly in someone’s memory banks but then be easily dismissed and forgotten. To catch fleeting memories and make sense of them, one has to be vigilant, look to connect the dots (clues) and be willing to set aside scepticism until truth can be determined.
In actuality, we hardly remember most of the events of this lifetime, let alone past lifetimes. I suppose the simple answer as to why we don’t is that all those simultaneous memories would be a bit disconcerting to say the least. Disconcerting or not, there are times when we want to remember; when we want to unravel the treads that have woven the tapestry of our current life and brought certain people into our arena.
If one dismisses reincarnation, the nature of relationships becomes a rather curious thing. Why are some people drawn to one another like opposing poles of a magnet? Likewise, why is any attempt to bridge the space between the repelling sides of two magnets futile?
My stepfather and I were in the later group, dancing around each other without ever touching. I often asked the stars in the night sky how a man could feed, clothe, school, entertain, and yet, not love me, something I desperately thought I needed.
I was well into my adult years when the answer came to me in a dream. As my body slept, I had a bird’s eye view of Ireland, the Emerald Isle. I flew over the northwest coast where the rock cliffs rose to hundreds of feet above a cold and treacherous sea. I saw a small thatched-roof cottage, my once-upon-a-time home, situated close to the edge of those cliffs. I observed sheep in the distance, far too many to count, corralled in by stone walls.

Do telepathy, clairvoyance and other “psi” abilities exist? The majority of the general population believes that they do, and yet fewer than one percent of mainstream academic institutions have any faculty known for their interest in these frequently reported experiences. Why is a topic of enduring and widespread interest met with such resounding silence in academia? The answer is not due to a lack of scientific evidence, or even to a lack of scientific interest, but rather involves a taboo. I will discuss the nature of this taboo, some of the empirical evidence and critical responses, and speculate on the implications.
Science and Psi – Taboo?
This is a MUST Watch video if you want to learn about scientific tests that have been done to prove / paranormal psychic abilities. This is a 90 minute Google Tech Talk from 2008. Seriously, skip Grey’s Anatomy or whatever and watch and learn… it
s a little dry at times, but it is a very interesting presentation. Google TechTalks are very innovative. Feel blessed for this knowledge. It will awaken some sleeping people.
