I hope that all is well in your world on the New Years Eve day!  It has been a very busy time for me.  We had beautiful Solstice,  Christmas Eve and New Moon in Capricorn gatherings! 

 

The Moon was new in Capricorn this past Saturday at 4:23am PST/12:23 pm GMT!  This was yet another powerful new moon and we talked about how we can align with the energy of Capricorn to move our lives forward in a good way.  The symbol of Capricorn is a mountain goat with a dolphins tail.  Able to go from the bottom of the ocean to the top of mountain with perseverance and patient persistence the energy of Capricorn can help ups in accomplishing great things in the physical world.

 

The lesson for Capricorn is to make sure that these gifts are used for the benefit of the Highest Good of All and to avoid the booby traps of the ego!  Yes, false pride and materialism can be an issue.  Capricorn rules big business, big government and institutions.  As the saying goes "with great wealth comes great responsibility."  Ruled by the planet Saturn also known as the Lord of Karma we learn that ultimately what goes around, comes around so having purity of intention and being of service is of utmost importance as spiral up the ladder of ascension!

 

In our winter night's sky in the Northern Hemisphere the great Hunter Orion hovers over head as a reminder of this lesson.   The three stars of Orion's belt are easily recognizable at this time of year.  So as the story goes, Orion who was the son on Psioden was know to be a great hunter.  Well apparently he liked to boast about what a great hunter he was and how he could kill every animal on Earth if he wanted to!  Well when Gaia (Mother Earth) got a hold of this she sent a small scorpion after him and then there was no more Orion!   Hmmm ...

 

So we also talked about how to be responsible and conscious with this energy and the difference between taking a position and a stand on things.  When you have great discipline, skills and abilities and are interested in serving the Highest Good of All like what Mahatma Gandhi, martin Luther King, Jr, Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Susan B. Anthony did, then you learn to take a "Stand"!  A stand is different from a "position" which is usually for or against something which creates opposition.  According to Lynne Twist co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, a stand is more like a declaration or commitment and is always life affirming.  "The changes that have taken place in history as a result of the stand-takers are permanent changes ... taking a stand, which allows all positions to be heard and reconsidered and to begin to dissolve.  When you take a stand, it actually does shift the whole universe and unexpected, unpredictable things happen."

 

So I invite you to reflect at this time on the stand you wish to be in the world.  May all the forces in the Universe conspire to you fully actualize this.

 

I have many great events and workshops lined up for the New Year and am excited to share that I will be teaming up with Visionary, Spoken Word Artist and Peace Advocate DreamingBear www.DreamingBear.net  and some of our other very conscious Visionary Artist friends in February for a very special "Awakening The Dreamer, Changing the Dream" Symposium in Berkeley on the Full Moon Monday, February 9th and then on Valentines Weekend Sunday, February 14th DreamingBear and I will offer a very special evening at Harbin in the Temple ... so SAVE the Dates more information to come! 

 

I would like to take a moment and thank everyone who has reached out and expressed support for my work!   I am pleased to share that I now have a Fiscal Sponsor who is making it possible for me to now offer Tax Deductible Receipts for donations and is also helping me develop a business plan and establish the appropriate legal entities for my work to expand through!  I am looking to develop my World Peace Ceremony into a touring show and a monthly telecast/webcast and to produce sound healing and meditation CDs/DVDs.  In addition, there are other opportunities that I am exploring including a Retreat Center.  So I am currently looking to raise an $5000 in seed money plus I want to acquire a Projector and upgrade some of my other equipment for my multimedia presentations and ceremonies FYI!

 

So if you feel inspired to support me in this way, please let me know!   If you have any questions or would like to see the proposal from my Fiscal Sponsor, I will be happy to email it to you! 

 

Have a beautiful and safe New Year's Eve wherever you are!  I'll be making a vegan Mushroom Strudel dinner and desserts for the restaurant tonight!  Oh yeah ... don't forget to check the bottom of this for my yummy Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse recipe!
