| The Time Between Eclipses
February 7, 2008 - Chinese New Year
Hello Friends, How are you all doing? This is a very intense week. I wasn't going to send a newsletter so quickly after the last one, but I do need to communicate a few things to you. First of all, the Angels of Love (Valentines Day) Angel Gathering scheduled for Sunday February 10th has been cancelled.
Many of you know I was in a car-'incident' on 12/29/07 (I mentioned it in a previous newsletter). I had a resurgence of symptoms on Saturday and am finding I need to clear my schedule and take some much-needed rest to allow myself to heal more fully. I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes to any of you; and I thank you for your understanding. Remember: we don't have to do the Angels of Love Gathering ONLY at Valentines Day; we can do it at any time of the year. We will find an opportune time to spend some time focusing on Love with the Angels at a later date when things settle in a bit:)
Secondly, the Time Between Eclipses (which I have described during previous 'Eclipse Seasons') is especially important at this time. We are standing in a Vortex of immense possibility and I want to alert you to this; as well as offer you some comfort that - contrary to what it may seem like on the surface - this is a very auspicious unfolding.
Read on for more.
With Many Blessings,
Carol

Inside the Vortex
Dorothy: We're Not in Kansas anymore
 Now that the exact moment of the Eclipse (10:44 pm EST) has passed, we are officially in "The Time Between Eclipses."
As some of you know, since Saturday I have been "forced" to take some time off and to rest. My lower back seized-up on Saturday (repurcussions of the car-incident of 12/29/07) and I spent the night in the hospital with severe pain. So I have been learning to enjoy "lieing around" on the couch and not working (not easy for me, let me tell you!)
Tonight at around 6pm EST, I woke up from a nap. It was that dusky "tween-time" of the day that creates an dimensional blurring of edges. I looked out the window and said (out loud) something my mother often used to say:"those are tornado clouds". The sky was a greenish-black color and the clouds were kind of a "cap" over-top of the city, with "fingers" dangling down from its edges. The kind of fingers that turn into Twisters. I looked at the clock; it read 5:55 pm. Five being the universal number for CHANGE.
When I was a child, my mother (who, although a devout Catholic, was trained in the "Old Country" ways as so many in her generation were) used to cut off a piece of the Palm we received on Palm Sunday and burn it whenever we got "tornado sky." She would say, "The sky is green. That's a tornado sky," and burn a piece of Palm in a small ashtray while making the Sign of the Cross repeatedly. This is the Old Country (old energy) way of cleansing the dimensional gateway or VORTEX that the Tornado symbolizes.
A tornado is a Vortex of wind, a Funnel or Portal of possibility from one dimension or reality to another. The Fire & Ice Portal of this week (described in a previous newsletter) is expressing in this tornadic form right now. It is an opportunity for us to learn how to cleanse the dimensional gateways that are now opening up on Planet Earth. My mother used the Palm from Palm Sunday; we must use our own inner Light and discernment to make the Portal entrance Holy with the Fires of Love.
 As you may have heard, other parts of the U.S. have had seriously intense, damaging twisters yesterday and today. What I was seeing here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was the remnant of that. There were no tornadoes in this area, thank God; but we are seeing ALOT of rain and flooding around the 3 Rivers and all creeks and streams here. The 1 WATER Year has flowed into existence, and has been activated by tonight's evolutionary Lightning Bolt Aquarian Solar Eclipse/New Moon. The Purification begins.
And now - the tiny-but-huge energies of MOUSE (and the clever and opportunistic energies of RAT) scurry into the Vortex of the Time-Between- Eclipses, in search of Evolution and Enlightenment.
"Rat is a Half-Yin and Half-Yang Animal. The front leg of Rat has 4 toes and back leg has 5 toes. The Rat hour is from 23:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M., which cover late night and early morning. Rat is rank number one, which is Yang (odd) number. But contains Female Water, according to Chinese astrology calendar. Water in Chinese astrology represents cold, black, wisdom and lust. Rat is a very alert, coward, quick, sly, ambitious and smart animal. Human still learn something from rats. When all rats run away from a building with no reason, we should run and leave the building soon too. Ancient Chinese won't get on a ship without rats, because that's not normal. Rat is in the Water group. Snake and Horse are in the Fire group. Fire is afraid of Water. They say Horse will die after eating the waste of Rat. Weasel like Rat can fight and kill Snake."
Pay attention to Rat! He is asking us to make even the smallest of efforts to balance our masculine and feminine selves. If you are typically passive and "pretend to be cheery" even when you're not (too much Yin energy, like me) then speak up, speak your Truth! Light your Fires of Truth! And if you are typically over-aggressive (too much Yang energy) then LISTEN to what the gentle ones pause to tell you as you enter the sacred and holy doorway of the Vortex. Make the doorway holy with your Truth, even if it is a side of you that has been as small as a mouse for decades.
In addition, consider yourself warned by Rat: Leave any buildings or structures (personal or collective) that cannot withstand the Tornadic Vortex of these times! You will now enter or create new structures; and as you do, look at the details (just as Rat does). If the proper energies are not present, then leave or change your creation. It is not natural to have a total absence of the clever and sneaky Rat-energy in your structures. For the structure to be healthy, it must have the greatness of the small. "He who is first shall be last; he who is last shall be first."
 The Fire aspect of the Fire & Ice Portal is also manifesting in the form of a Vortex Twister. A Fire Tornado. Just as water purifies; fire purifies. This Fire can be used to purify the openings between dimensions, just as my mother burned palm to purify and bless the gateway. Remember: this Fire comes from within! It is burning in your Heart and in Your Soul, the Stillpoint Center of your Being. Unlike water, Fire completely trans-forms whatever it comes in contact with. Consumes it. The Aquarian Lightning Bolt creates the force of fire within the Houses, the Buildings, the Capricorn Structures of our lives. They will be permanently, irrevocably trans-formed (made into new forms) over the next 17 years, beginning... NOW.

Twister
The House Hasn't Landed Yet
 Remember the game of Twister? What fun that was, huh? It was fun to contort ourselves as we submitted to the grid of left-hand-yellow, right-foot-red. Well, why not think about the changes taking place in our Space-Time Continuim right now as similar to a game of Twister! The shifts are contorting us in this same way, only energetically:) The yellow, blue and red dots of the Twister "grid" are portals (wormholes perhaps?!) and the object of the game is to learn how to live in a multi-dimensional Universe CONSCIOUSLY.
Here is what I mean: Over the past few days I have gotten about 10 emails and several phone calls from people saying that they are experiencing "attack" by negative forces. Outright attacks. One man woke up to the sound of terrifying screeching in his left ear. He called me to ask what it was. Another woman woke up and felt like something was trying to get INSIDE her while also attacking her from the outside at the same time. She woke up with a scratchy throat which turned into bronchitis almost immediately (within 24 hours). One of my spiritual mentors had a massive pipe bursting in her home and was forced into a hotel. These are Lightworker-types who do all the "protection" stuff that we have all been trained to do. As for me: back situation, computer crash, car broke down. Like me, many are experiencing a near total slow-down of life for one reason or another; some are feeling the need to sleep constantly. This is more than just mercury retrograde, however...
Here is what I think has happened: THE FIRE-ICE ECLIPSE PORTAL (coming on the heels of the portals of December, and Pluto Into Capricorn in January) is indeed very powerful; and it opened this week, as planned.
 REMEMBER: PORTALS GO BOTH WAYS. You may be experiencing a dimensional IN-RUSH and, if so, you might be feeling "blasted" in a VERY REAL WAY (i.e. in 3D) not just on the etheric.
The Higher Energies are coming through the Portal and ACTUALLY seating into 3D. In the past, 3D couldn't HOLD these energies; now, because the vibrations on Earth are higher, it CAN hold them. And that's what is happening.
With these energies - while the Portal is open - come beings who might be "trapped between dimensions" or what-have-you. And with these energies comes a very powerful High Vibrational Light which when it hits the density of 3D manifests as a TOTAL SHUTDOWN of time and space. A literal Stillpoint.
That's why many of us are "grounded" and at a standstill. And why many are "seeing dark entities." Simply put, the energies stirred up by these epochal times need to seat more fully. Right now they are very erratic and many beings on both sides of the veil are very confused and "popping up" to ask -- what the HECK is going on??? I don't know about you, but I have been asking this lately! We will only move easily in 3D again once the energies are fully integrated. I am thinking that perhaps a whole new grid is being built...?
My sense is that this level of vibration has never been seated into 3D before (EVER on earth) and that's why it feels shocking and difficult to understand.
By the way: please don't fret about "dark energies" invading your space. Hold the Light, you KNOW you are more powerful than anything outside of yourself when you center yourself in the Light within you!
Here is the bottom line of these times in which we live: some of the "dark energies" we might perceive could very well be projections of our own dark side. AND at the same time, there are also very real energies coming through from other dimensions right now that we all need to learn to deal with - both Light and Dark, and every shade inbetween. It's all part of learning to walk as a conscious multi-dimensional being in 3D. We are growing up as a species and stepping into our rightful place in the Universal Community. Here's the thing: The other dimensions have always been there - it is WE who are just "waking up" to them!
 AND HERE IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW: The House (Capricornian structures up for revision in the New Pluto-in-Capricorn era) hasn't landed yet. Hang on tight! When it lands, it will land on the Wicked Witch (Plutonic stripping away) of Illusion, Inner Darkness and all that is no longer working in our psyches and in our culture. Then we'll be off to see the Wizard (Aquarian energies)! Oh and by the way: the Wizard is US:)
When will the house land? The culmination of this fertile Vortex "tween-time" will be the TOTAL Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday February 20th. This Eclipse is very potent and VERY important for America. It will be the last Total Lunar Eclipse until December 2010 and virtually all of North America will be able to see it. This means that all of North America will be transformed by it. This Eclipse is going to be dancing with the planet Saturn (um, duh - Capricorn energies!) and the fixed star Regulus (the Heart of the - cowardly? courageous? - Lion, one of the 4 Behenian Royal Stars). Stay tuned for more information on this in a future newsletter.
In the meantime, as we hover within the Vortex of Change - the Time-of-No-Time between Eclipses - here is a thought on Silence/The Still-Point from Mother Teresa: "The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective." Be still and feel the Godforce, the Lifeforce, the Fire, within you. It's not easy for us Americans to do this whole Still-point thing, is it? I'll give it a try if you do:)
 P.S. to tap into the consciousness of Mighty Mouse, aka the Clever Rat, M. Kelley Hunter recommends that we watch the movie Ratatouille. And that we "have some good French bread and fine wine and cheese on hand."
And maybe play a game of Twister!
At any rate, I am grateful to be walking the Path alongside you, learning as I go! Please Enjoy these fantastical times; and here's wishing you Happy New Year of the Rat, or should I say: Happy New Epoch of the Capricorn!

quotes & quotables for the journey
It always comes back to the same necessity: go deep enough and there is a bedrock of truth, however hard. - May Sarton
"There are intelligences that control the planets. This is first in greek mythology, then in all the other great philosophies and religions of the world. It's immature to think there's a gravitational pull emanating from a planet and that's it and that's why it has an effect on us. No, there are other dimensions, beyond the planet there's another intelligence and beyond that intelligence is other intelligence, and so on. You live in a multi dimensional universe, that doesn't stop at the planet, nor with the intelligence, or angel governing the planet, etc... You live in a vibrant alive universe, that is interacting with you, listening to your thoughts and prayers and watching your actions and reactions. Things don't randomly happen to you, you have had something to do with everything going on in your life." - Terry Nazon
Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
