I'm copying this important mail here in its entirety:

Key points:
1. Focus on appreciation for the small things in life, not just the big.
2. "get to know your community, your immediate surrounding
community, because as the system implodes, it will be local
relationships that matter."
3. Work with Holon of Balance and the
Holon of Healing . Descriptions of how to create
Holons also appear in the Archives.

4. If you live near Seattle consider upcoming Stairway of
Illumination Intensive  on the infusion of
spiritual light into the seven major endocrine glands. Wish I could go!!

Subject: A Hathor Planetary Message Through Tom Kenyon | 9.22.08


The Dissolution of the Old World and the Birthing of the New

In this message we wish to give you some specifics regarding
the financial and earth changes that are now upon you. We had
hinted at the probability of this in previous planetary
messages, but now the probabilities have become realities.
The main focus of our intent for this communication appears
toward the end when we will share what we feel you can do,
individually, to ride the storm.

The Current Financial Crisis

Those who have created/sustained the dominant planetary
economic system are now finding themselves with their "backs
against the wall." This is because the system, as it exists,
is not self-sustaining. It is a form of imprisonment and is
not in attunement with the shifting frequencies of
consciousness that are taking place (albeit embryonically) on
earth. And so financial institutions are attempting to
re-organize themselves. But this is an attempt to perpetuate
that which cannot be sustained. They are simply trying to
re-arrange cards in the House of Cards.

But their attempts will ultimately be futile. This is because
the current economic system is based upon greed, lies,
control, and manipulation, and these thought forms, these
cultural paradigms, are not in alignment with the new
consciousness that is arising. What you are witnessing is the
dissolution of that which needs to pass away, but that which
will take its place has not arisen, and so it is a very
frightening passage for those marooned in 3Dimensional
reality.

The financial situation is complex and interconnected. The
difficulties currently experienced in both the United States
and England will affect the entire global economy. These will
be difficult times in terms of monetary considerations, but
paradoxically these can be extraordinarily uplifting times
spiritually.

We anticipate further deterioration of the financial markets
in the United States, Europe and Asia. The corporate
structures responsible for perpetuating the dominant economic
paradigms will find themselves on very flimsy ground. This
will unquestionably result in the loss of jobs, real income,
and an increase of suffering for individuals. Our advice is
get to know your community, your immediate surrounding
community, because as the system implodes, it will be local
relationships that matter.

Another element that makes this period particularly volatile
is that your perception of time is changing. Culturally
perceived time is speeding up and more seems to be happening
in less time. This is occurring both for individuals and for
the culture as a whole. This rapid movement and changing of
events shall become faster and faster.

You are entering a relentless pace in which your perception
of time will increasingly accelerate. Because your perception
of time is speeding up, and the events within those
time-frames are increasing in number, many will enter a kind
of shock, a state of disbelief. Specifically, it is
unimaginable that the economic system can deteriorate so
rapidly! What do you do when money is scarce and the things
you are used to in your life are hard to acquire? These are
critical questions.

Collective humanity is at a pivotal point for it is at the
cusp of new cultural paradigms—a shifting from fixation on
3Dimensional reality into a realization of higher dimensions
and the possibilities that will be open to all as a result.

While such a shift of cultural awareness sounds inviting, the
actual process is extremely chaotic, which is what you are
now in the midst of.

Factors of Novelty

As chaos increases, over the next several years, you can
expect to see radical increases in what could be described as
factors of novelty. By novelty, we are referring to a concept
borrowed from your physics. We are not using the term as it
is used in your mainstream culture, which is essentially the
mindless pursuit of that which is new and different to fill
in the void created by emotional desperation and emptiness.

Novelty, as we are using the term, refers to unintentional
and unanticipated changes within a system. These changes can
be positive, negative or both.

The term, factors of novelty, refers to the phenomenon that
incidents of novelty exponentially increase as systems enter
into a state of chaos. And the probability for chaos
increases when you have many different systems interacting at
accelerated rates. Unexpected results and situations, that
were never anticipated or intended, can and will arise. As
novelty increases worldwide, it will create mental and
emotional strain for many individuals—primarily due to the
fact that the paradigms that they have used to navigate
through life will be (and are) dissolving right before them.

As difficult as these times are, and as difficult as they
will be in the near future, there is an evolutionary catalyst
within all of this.

New ways of thinking and new ways of generating resources
have to be created if humanity is to survive. The old ways
simply cannot continue. This is because they are not
self-sustaining; they are intrinsically damaging to life;
they are based upon lies and manipulation, and they are out
of alignment with the new spiritual energies that are
entering the scene. Nevertheless, those who have created and
sustained the lies are doing everything in their power to
keep the House of Cards intact.

Your evolutionary opportunity in all of this is to pass
through the storm by living (metaphorically speaking) in the
center of the hurricane—the eye of the storm—where it is
calm. We will offer some suggestions for this in a moment,
but let us turn our attention to the Earth Changes, for they
are upon you.

In previous communications we said that the melting of the
polar icecaps and the glaciers would accelerate faster than
scientists anticipated, and indeed, this is the case. This
shall continue to accelerate and the models of weather
generated by computers will not accurately predict the
changes. Like everything else upon your earth, all changes
shall accelerate. From our perspective we see an increase in
the intensity of hurricanes, and we see them arising in times
when they do not traditionally occur. There will be an
increase in tornados and aberrant weather. Alterations in the
cycle of the seasons (where fall and winter patterns occur in
spring and summer and vice versa) will continue to escalate.
Plants and animals that have based their life rhythms upon
these seasons shall be increasingly confused. Due to these
and other climatic changes (as well as earthquake and
volcanic activity), we anticipate increasing food and water
shortages over the next two decades.

Another critical element in this evolutionary stew is the
upcoming Presidential elections in the US. For better or
worse this Office affects not just the United States, but
also the entire world, and while there are differences
between the two camps, in some fundamental areas they are the
same. Those who pursue the Office (from within the ranks of
the two major political parties) may indeed have their
personal visions of what America and the world can be, but
they are like pawns on a chessboard, and the ones who move
the pawns are largely unseen. Unfortunately, their agenda is
not the health and well-being of the United States, nor of the
world. Their agenda is the consolidation of power. And the
confinement and imprisonment of the human spirit that results
from their blind pursuit of earthly power does not concern
them.

An unprecedented collision of forces is now upon you. The
economic and political situations, conjoined with earth
changes are creating a crack in the facade. This facade is
nothing less than the cultural, economic, political, and
religious illusions and delusions that people have "bought
into." More and more individuals will see through the lies,
simply because things will fall apart. The curtains that were
hiding the lies will fall. This is not a graceful process.
But the old ways of being and doing must come to an end, in
order that new ways can take root.

It shall be increasingly difficult to perpetuate the old
world in the same ways it has been perpetuated. And by this
we mean both the old world of your civilization and the old
world of your own personal lives. As the wave of spiritual
evolution accelerates, those who insist upon living in the
old paradigms will find it increasingly difficult. Fear and
paranoia will be the tone of the day, from the minutest
aspects of personal life to international relations. This
"tug of war" between that which wishes to remain locked in
place, tugging against those forces that wish to open the
world to new possibilities shall indeed become a surrealistic
experience.

The evolutionary pressures upon individuals and society are
extraordinary, and those individuals who are less centered
(psychologically imbalanced) may experience an increase in
irrational behaviors. Many countries around the world are
already seeing a rise in irrational acts and unusual crimes.

Escape Velocity

We have spoken about it on numerous occasions, and although
it is very simple, it is a powerful ally. Your word for it is
appreciation and what we mean by this is the ability to
appreciate the smallest things in your life as well as the
large things.

Appreciation is a fascinating vibrational field with multiple
effects. As you watch your economic system go through its
metamorphosis, as you watch earth changes increasing and the
stresses upon those around you escalating, including the
escalation of stress on yourself, remember the doorway of
appreciation. All you have to do is step into this field and
the disturbances around you will be less able to effect you
negatively. The situations you are dealing with might not
change, but your emotional response to them will be of a
higher order. And you will be more resourceful in how you
deal with the challenges you are facing.

Were we to describe, in detail, the probable future in terms
of negative events, it would be overwhelming. That is not our
intent, and so we will not discuss it. What we wish to
discuss is escape velocity. How do you escape the negative,
imprisoning forces that continue to confine you and the human
spirit? The most efficient and simple way is to cultivate
appreciation—as ridiculous as that may sound in the face of
the immense challenges facing your earth. Appreciation is a
key that will unlock the doorway to the new world, even as
the old world dissolves and falls apart, as it must.

As the spiritually driven evolutionary forces increase, and
the rip in the fabric of your civilization becomes clear to
more and more individuals, there will be a tendency for those
who are fixated on 3Dimensional reality (without access to
the higher dimensions of themselves) to enter into a state of
mental and emotional shock, a kind of numbness. You can
recognize these numb people because they will walk and talk
like normal, but they are like zombies, half aware, half
alive. Have compassion for these individuals because they are
caught between the old world that is passing away and an
uncertain future that has yet to be born. Have compassion,
yet be wary of them. Do not let them seduce you into their
numbness and fear.

If you learn to live in appreciation, you will enter a
domain, a vibration that will carry you through the chaos of
these times. You will find a type of solace and comfort, and
the vibrational rate of your energy body will increase. At
some point you will reach what we call escape velocity. You
will easily step out of the illusions and the lies of the old
world. You will see them for what they are, and you will
become a joyous co-creator of a new world that is being
birthed even as the old world passes away right before your
eyes.

The Hathors through Tom Kenyon
September 22, 2008 Orcas Island, WA


Thoughts and Observations from the channel, Tom Kenyon

When the Hathors gave me this particular planetary message
there was no hint that the Wall Street fiasco was coming. At
least I hadn't heard about it, let's say that.

I am amazed at how quickly things are changing and I have to
acknowledge that the Hathors were bang on (once again).

When I was in the eighth grade, my algebra teacher would
always introduce a new section of the curriculum with a
slight grin on her face. She would look down at the book and
then up at the class with these words—"it's going to get
worser before it gets better."

I think that's what the Hathors are saying here as well. We
are all in for a heck of a ride. But the strange thing about
collective mayhem is that there are always islands of sanity,
solace and comfort. I agree with them that we must find this
within ourselves, and I agree with them that it is probably a
good idea for us to get to know our neighbors.

As usual, the Hathors emphasize the importance of
appreciation. They say at one point that we need to cultivate
appreciation for the small things in life, not just the big.
And as they have said previously, we need to learn how to
create this feeling in the moment without having a specific
reason to be happy.

That may seem odd to some, choosing to experience
appreciation when nothing has happened to make us feel that
way. But essentially what the Hathors are saying is that
appreciation is a specific vibration of consciousness and
when we are in that vibration we are elevated. And I suspect
that such skills as self-elevation (when many around us are
in distress) will be an excellent skill to have.

Like all skill building, repetition and actually doing it (in
this case, entering into appreciation) is the key. If you are
new to these Hathor messages, I encourage you to go to the
Archives and take a look at their postings regarding Ecstasy
and the Heart. It is a very interesting and beneficial way of
experimenting with the state of appreciation.

And although they do not mention it in this message, you
would find their messages about the Holon of Balance and the
Holon of Healing helpful. Descriptions of how to create
Holons also appear in the Archives.

As many of you no doubt know, the Chinese word for
transformation consists of two ideograms that translate
as—danger and opportunity. There is no question that we are
entering into dangerous times. But there are opportunities as
well.

The evolutionary question is: will you, me, and we (the great
collective) find the opportunities to create a new future for
ourselves? Or will we get quagmired in the old world of
perception and belief?

If the Hathors are right about this, and I think they are, we
would all do well to cultivate more appreciation. Then
perhaps, we will self-elevate enough to recognize that we
live in an amazing universe brimming with possibilities even
as those of us in the old world struggle with how to enter
the new.

Tom Kenyon Orcas, Washington

Note: The focus of the Hathors in the upcoming Stairway of
Illumination Intensive in Seattle will be on the infusion of
spiritual light into the seven major endocrine glands. The
Hathors consider the infusion of light into the endocrine
glands a crucial step in the process of personal ascension.

This is the only Tom Kenyon/Hathor event this year, and it
takes place October 31st through November 2nd. For more

3 reasons why you should slay the multi-headed multi- tasking monster

I'm halfway through writing this to you
and I can smell something burning in the kitchen.

Oh no! There goes our dinner again for the
3rd time in a row!

But before I'm off my seat or into my
fireman's frame of mind
a text message stops my heart.
"where are you?!"
Oh dear! I've burnt my bridges this time!

Meantime my email inbox is going ping ping
and the cat box is going pong pong
all the way from the bottom of the cellar..

My son is calling me to come outside
And the phone's ringing
And my printer's telling me I've run out
of ink and my computer interrupts it to say
the CD I'm trying to burn
has already been burnt....

Burnt? There seems to be a pattern here!
Am I in hell?

I don't know about you, but someone
seems to have leaned over and pushed
the 'fast forward' button this side.

Life is flashing past like a train you're
meant to be on that won't slow down
one second so you can hop aboard.

I think the increased tempo is God's
way of teaching us all to become
more efficient.

If you're anything like me you're trying to cope
with this increased tempo by multi-tasking.

Which means you're probably
trying to cook this and read your dinner
at the same time.

Perhaps you're surprised you have even read
this far without someone or something
interrupting you. Including your mind
telling you about 10 other things you
should be doing instead.

The result is something akin to what just
came out the other end of hurricane Ike.

Overwhelm.

Not to mention dropped balls,
frazzled nerves, browned off friends and um...
burnt offerings?

I recently watched a video on this score
that could just save my bacon
maybe yours too.

It's by Eben Pagan of Wake Up Productive.
You can watch this video here free of charge :

http://www.wakeupproductiveblog.com/2008/09/time-mgmt.php


In the video Pagan talks about eliminating multi-tasking,
distractions, interruptions, friction and monkey mind
emotions.

Do you know that each time you're distracted it takes
20 minutes to get back to where you were before?

His solution?
Clean focus (2 hour uninterrupted intervals),
and clean breaks. Renewing yourself
and creating routine for everything that's important.

He also talks about the first hour of your day and
why you should dedicate this time to yourself,
your health, personal growth and well-being.

I highly recommend this video.
It's short, to the point and very helpful.

Back to slaying the multi-headed multi-tasking
monster.

Why should you?

Here are three good reasons:

1. Lab tests prove that multi-tasking significantly
decreases your IQ. It decreases your
efficiency even more than smoking pot!

2. Think of a single beam of light. You can either scatter it,
or focus it in on a single point. The focused beam can
burn a hole in a page in seconds. The scattered beam,
well, goes everywhere and nowhere. Even after days
and days it can't achieve what the focused beam achieves
in minutes. Your mind works the same way.

3. Multi-tasking creates little black holes in your attention
span. These little black holes tend to wreak havoc with
matter, especially matters most dear to those around you.

Things tend to fall into them.
Or friends tend to fall out over them.

But what they gobble up more than anything is your
psychic energy. Slowly and surely, you're not here
anymore because you're in 20 unfinished places instead.

How to fix this?

Start weaning yourself off multi-tasking right away.
(If I can, so can you!)

Make a list of all your priorities every day.
Choose the one item that will move
you forward the most. Then shut your door
unplug the internet, turn off your phone,
hold your nose and don't open your email
until it's done.

Wishing you a clean focus on things that matter
most and soft focus on other folks' failings.

And like me, a with significantly increased IQ as of today!
; )

If you're nterested in whether your hands say you're a
 multi-tasker brain type, see my hand anlysis blog on HAL giftmarkers:
http://www.handanalysisonline.com/blog/index.html

Over the last few months I've been working closely
with Laurene Shaerer-Lindstrom to create a
powerful Life Purpose Vision Workshop.

Laurene is an Electromagnetic Field Balancing Technique
practitioner and a gifted teacher and healer.

In this workshop we'll be combining our talents to bring you
an awesome array of practical tools and techniques to
work with your life purpose and life lesson, clarify intent
and put together a clear action plan for the future.

I'm really excited about this new course. I think it will
help people shift their lives in a big way.

If you're wondering what the next step is for you,
find out more here:
http://handanalysisonline.com/LPVG2008.php

We'd love to have you join us.


Also, if you'd like to learn to read hands yourself,
the next handanalysis workshop in Switzerland is
coming up soon on 11/12 October 2008.

This is a highly intensive 2 day workshop:
Day 1 we focus on gift markers, but also cover all the basics.
Day 2 we focus on reading life purpose from fingerprints.
Find out more here: http://handanalysisonline.com/courses2008.php

They're happening all over Switzerland right now.
Something akin to milk fever.


And related to Herbst rather than herpies.
(Herbst here means 'fall' as in all leaves fall down
rather than people or cows or countries.)
But still it's a dis-ease I think, at least for the participants.

We've just had one in our village.

A cow show!

I heard that all the real cows in the neighbourhood
get to wear an edible hat
so I went along to see if this really is true
and....

it is!
; )
And then I asked some of the participants what they thought about this whole affair:



and they said:

What is your purpose in life?

There are many layers to this question/answer.

Just like an onion, you peel them off one by one and find another, and another and another right down to the very core. And in the middle? More of the same!

 Let's look at this from the inside out: 

On a core level, I agree with Eckard Tolle who says:  we all have the same life purpose:

Our main purpose is to wake up and also to help each other wake up.

 

But then over and above this layer there's another layer, more personal. Your soul’s agenda:

Why in this particular body, at this particular moment in time, with these particular friends (and or enemies) and these particular issues?

This agenda is visible in your fingerprints. Your soul leaves a unique imprint of who you are beyond your body onto your developing foetus. Identical twins with identical DNA have different fingerprints and irises. Your fingerprints show where your energy is highest and where it is lowest before you incarnated. Your fingerprints are fixed 5 months before you are born and they don't change your entire life. In fact, if you damage them they try to grow back to their original form.

 I work with Richard Unger's LifePrints system to decode fingerprints for life purpose and life lesson.

 It’s a simple formula: the more you watch yourself in process with your least developed side (the part of you that attracts similar issues again and again) the more the highest energy part (the part that seeks to be actualised/your life purpose) blossoms naturally.

Sometimes your fingerprints are very precise in saying what your life purpose is, and sometimes the purpose on a soul level is more general. Actually what is more important is your life lesson, or archilles heel, because ths is the part you need to become more conscious of to raise your erenrgy enough to live your life purpose.

 So, it's the same again as what Tolle says, the main purpose is to to wake up/become more conscious, but this time the focus is more directed and the reward more tangible.

 And then, over and above this layer , there's your personality. This is more fluid. There are giftmarkers that are visible in hands, you can also see where you are putting your energy, your dominant archetypes, and where you are blocking yourself.

Your hands can help you figure out your values and also your core desires but there are many other tools to do this.

 Knowing your values is crucial because once you know what's important to you you can make conscious choices and you can't be easily bumped by other people. I once wrote a blog on this titled: Is your life in danger of being hijacked?

For some questions that will help you figure out your life purpose on a personality level go here: 10 questions

Your life lesson, the thing that trips you up over and over , is visible in your fingerprints.
It's that part of us that we're here to grow. The trick is to be gentle with yourself each time you recognise you've stepped into the same puddle. To laugh and pat yourself on the back and say, 'Well done Jena, you're conscious. This is your puddle, and here it is again'  This speeds up personal growth far more than beating yourself up over the same process.

Have you ever wondered why Switzerland is such a green place?
Well let me bring you in on a secret.  It has nothing to do with being closer to God,
unless you believe that always being in the pooh is how one gets there.
 
A friend of mine, Casey, is in Hawaii at the moment (and you can't get
closer to heaven than that.) When they arrived, Casey's 5 year old daughter
took her first look at the vast lava fields surrounding her and with awe and delight
declared 'cow pooh!'
 
Could it be that the spirit of the volcano is actually a giant cow deity?
And judging by the amount of Hawaii currently covered in 'cow pooh', obviously they don't have any Swiss farmers around to methodically collect all the pooh, dilute it with water and spray it on the fields around your house, the way they do around mine, like clockwork, usually on a Sunday,  just when friends are about to arrive for lunch.
 
I call this phenomenon 'Swiss Pooh democracy' . Every square inch of Switzerland gets its fair share of being 'in the pooh'. Which explains why Switzerland is such a green place. And why everyone's eyes are mostly glazed over. (Only kidding).
 
Actually pooh democracy is a very useful concept wherever you live in the world.

How so?
 
It teaches you not to take anything personally; to first consider the broader brush strokes before reacting to what's right up your nose.
 
What has this to do with hands?
 
Your headline shows your thinking style. If you have a very curvy headline (like I do!) it means you're inclined to take absolutely everything personally. When 'pooh democracy' knocks on your door you'll take it as a personal vendetta rather than what it really is. Pooh protocol.
The Swiss are neutral remember!
 ; )
 
And what's so bad about this?
 
When you start reacting to imagined situations or intentions rather than real ones this is the doorway to hell.  It's amazing how many of us don't see that we actually have a choice: to turn this doorknob or not.
 
It's really a question of being conscious and watching how you use your own thoughts to tip yourself into misery. I catch myself fondling this door knob all the time. But these days I try to step back and laugh at my own thoughts before taking them too seriously.
 
I've just been re-reading a fantastic little book on this subject by Don Miguel Ruiz. Maybe you already know it. It's called 'The Four Agreements'.
 
Ruiz outlines a simple 4 step strategy for flipping the switch between heaven and hell.
You do this by breaking all the agreements (inherited and self acquired beliefs) you've bought into that keep you in hell.
 
How? By simply putting in place 4 new agreements.
 
What are Ruiz's 4 agreements?
 
Be impeccable with your word
Don't make assumptions
Don't take anything personally
Always do your best 


'Pooh democracy' is a way of rolling agreement 2 and 3 into one simple ball.
A quick way to check if you're violating your own mental space.
 
When something stinks in your life check for these two ingredients.
Chances are you are creating the real pooh in your inner environment (and therfore your outer) all by yourself.

Cows?

I think they all just got buried.
Along with my car, autumn and everything else left outdoors around here.

We've just had half a metre snow dumped on us and I'm trying hard not to take it personally. (if you're wondering what I'm on about see my last post on pooh democracy).
; )

Actually I'm quite proud of myself. I must be developing forsight or something.
I parked right on the road instead of where I normally do, 20 m up the drive.

I'm proud of myself for another reason:
I've signed up for Nanowrimo and.............. am terrified!!!
Will be starting late as I'm giving a workshop tonight and all Sat.
So, Sat night will be it!     help!


I'm doing this with Winnie, and Peri and Sandra and all the others at diving deeper.
Come cheer for us...


Halloween? I guess someone must have left it outside. It seems to have got buried under all sorts of other fluffy stuff. Life?
