Gary Evans
"The Power of Sound and Your Spiritual Path"
Gary Evans recently visited a number of sacred sites with local expert James Swagger in Ireland including well known and respected New Grange. Gary will discuss his experiences at these sites with particular reference to the use of sound toning and drumming. On a tour in the Great Pyramid of Egypt last April, using group toning, Gary and the group had a remarkable life transforming experience which he will recount. As a result of these profound personal experiences, Gary will explain his understanding of the importance of ritual and as a result why the ancients were so connected to the land. He has also found many practical ways for us to raise our frequency and vibration while remaining fully grounded in this dimension. Our awareness through our intuitive nature and reasoning mind becoming perfectly balanced.
"Magic, Mysticism and the Molecule"
Micah Hanks will discuss his book, "Magic, Mysticism and the Molecule" which presents an investigative analysis of ancient magical practices, mystical states, and out of body encounters with alleged "beings," through the use of various methods of reaching altered states of consciousness. Many concepts and ideas are explored, including: What role did the infamous magician Aleister Crowley play in the history of modern Ufology? Did he somehow manage to summon an alien "gray" during one of his magical rituals? Do Tibetan mystics possess the strange ability to create "tulpas," literal thought-forms that manifest physically from their thoughts alone? Even stranger, could a sixteenth century Jewish mystic have done the same thing in creating a "golem" in medieval Prague? "Are ghosts, spirits, Big Foot, alien encounters and the manifestation of unusual or bizarre creatures such as elves and demons the legitimate result of a presently misunderstood expansion of human consciousness?
"A TEACHER APPEARS"
Are you a student who is ready for a teacher? If so, then welcome to "A Teacher Appears". Lori Toye had never even thought about meditation, let alone asking spirit teachers for help. But all that changed in 1983 when she got a middle-of-the-night bedside "visit" from Master Saint Germain, an eighteenth-century Frenchman and "Ascended Master" who later returned with four of his friends-teachers in white robes who presented a map of America with a new geography, along with a message: it is time for worldwide healing. Despite her questions and doubts, Lori surrendered to their requests and began disseminating their wisdom and messages-the earliest of which are published for the first time in A Teacher Appears. The book offers fifty-one small but simple channeled lessons about Earth Change and humanity's opportunity to open to and accept the I AM Presence-your individualized presence of God. All it requires is inspiration, appreciation, love, and a good teacher.

Kaypacha - Tom Lescher
"THE PELE REPORT"
Well known astrologer Tom Lescher who writes the weekly Pele astrological report will give us an insight into what is taking place in the astrological realms. Currently we are experiencing the shift from Libra to Scorpio and Mercury retrograde as well as sitting in between powerful Lunar and Solar eclipses. Tom will explain the significance of these events as well as giving us the bigger picture of what has been unfolding month by month since Dec 21st, 2012 and what we can look forward to from an astrological point of view in the future. One of the lesser known influences over the last few months has been the involvement of Lilith and Tom will explain this while also focusing on the need to move into a much more balanced and harmonious relationship with the sacred masculine and feminine energies.
"THE YES FREQUENCY: ARE YOU ACHIEVING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL"
MANIFEST YOUR DREAM WITH THE YES FREQUENCY! You're stuck in a dead end job and you feel like life is passing you by. You know you're meant to do something else that makes you feel alive, that makes your heart sing. Or, you want to leave your town and move to a new place, and start a new life. Gary Quinn will discuss his book which is a consolidated guide to help you discover and access your inner power and creativity. Heal the soul's wounds and live a life of greater purpose, meaning, intuition and fulfillment. Begin to live your life as an experience of authenticity and say "Yes" at a deeper soul level. Break old habits, become more successful, and find the moment of "clarity" about what you really want to do with your life. Through simple straight forward strategies and techniques, and by raising your frequency to "YES", you will get into alignment, and discover the best you!

Radiant Beams of Joy!
by Peter Tongue
It has been quite a month and much more excitement to come. Everything is lining up perfectly and all we have to do is allow our lives to unfold naturally with ease and Grace. I want to highlight two radio shows that happened this month and the corresponding books that go with the authors. One of the key elements on our awakening journey is to let go of the old stuff that blocks our progress.
Devrah Laval was commanded by spirit to write a book about guilt and it is entitled, "Leap to Freedom" which it is, if we can release all feelings of guilt. Devrah had to go deep within herself to get to the core issue of guilt from her own personal point of view and from the collective. She had a very challenging upbringing with her Mother who filled her with feelings of guilt and so she had lots of opportunity to unravel those feelings. The book highlights our personal overcoming of guilt, what the sages have always said about it and the latest Quantum Science to back up her conclusions. It is an outstanding book which takes some quiet inner reflection to really get to the heart of the message. It is our illusion of the separation from the source of all that is which is at the core of it all and when we remember that and live from a place of oneness in our hearts, all forms of guilt just dissolve away. www.voiceamerica.com/episode/72713/leap-to-freedom
 The second book is quite different but just as important and a much easier read. Barbara Berger lay down on her couch one day, reflecting on her own fascinating life and thought about the ten things that had prevented her from enjoying a happy life. The book is called, "Are You Happy Now?" I think most of us have experienced all ten of her barriers to happiness at some point in our lives, but she outlines really simply and clearly what we can do to overcome all of these obstacles. Serious study with this straightforward book will without doubt lead to a Happy life! www.voiceamerica/episode/72800/are-you-happy-now
Many of you will know that I have felt for some time that the last week of September, between the Equinox (Sept.22nd) and Michaelmas Day (Sept.29th) was of great energetic importance.  I didn't know specifically in what way, but as is normal these days the information started flowing in from a variety of sources. We have a destiny card being played on behalf of the collective as Saturn in Scorpio sits directly on the North Node on September 24th. This alignment is pushing us to get out of our comfort zone of our understanding of the old world and move out into the unknown, the mystery of what is to come! We are in a new game with a new set of rules and your old beliefs and methods will no longer work. So it is time to take a leap of faith and go with the flow and synchronicities which will guide you. When you do this magnificent things happen!
One wonderful example was one day before the Equinox, Zia met with a man who has been working on the
concept of Hormesis. I was first introduced to this concept at the World Alchemy Conference in 2010. It is the belief that low levels of Radioactivity are extremely beneficial to us and that it is the "Secret Fire" required in any alchemical transformation. There is lots of evidence to support this idea, even from the devastating atomic bomb in Hiroshima. What has been discovered is that a certain distance away from the blast there is a geographical band of land where the people have lived really long and healthy lives-they received just the right amount of this radiation. There is a cave in Montana called the Merry Widow where people go to sit and restore good health. The walls of this cave seep out Radon gas which contains low levels of this radiation and people have had fantastic miraculous healings. The same is true at mineral hot springs where it is not so much the  minerals in the water that have the healing properties but the natural radiation that flows through the water. People generally don't take Geiger Counters to hot springs! Working with radioactivity became a scary concept after the atrocities of the atomic bombs of World War Two and so all research into the benefits of radiation came to a halt. I have been looking for a source of this low level radiation since I came back from that Alchemy Conference in 2010 and on the Equinox the materials manifested! Simple little glass beads that contain the healing elixir of tiny amounts of Uranium embedded  in them. No exposure to the Uranium itself, but exposure to the beneficial radiations! Rather like the Mercury in the Cinnabar orbs! If you are interested in purchasing some of these radiant beads please contact Ian Soutar through www.radiant-beads.com
One of the repeated messages for the Equinox was the opening up of Earth Portals to bring through the new fifth dimensional frequencies of vibration. Not coming from outer space, but from within Mother Earth herself. We decided to connect in with that  belief by going to the hub in our landscape zodiac and connect deeply with Mother Earth herself through our new radiation beads. This makes total sense because the radioactivity is released as result of nuclear transmutation, exactly what is happening on the earth itself-transmutation to a higher expression!
 We laid out a map with all of the locations where we had performed ceremony in the landscape with Lemurian seed crystals in the first year of the Temple of the Stars Journey and placed a radiant bead in each location. This was to activate and connect the Earth Portals in our own landscape, through the hub and out into the Planetary Grid through the many other locations where we have performed ceremonies around the Globe. Having linked them all together we placed the fourteen radiant beads into our alchemical concoction burying one in the hub to anchor the energies in our entire zodiac. This simple yet profound ceremony enabled us to move into a powerful co-creative process with Mother Earth directly. We are now ready to move out into other landscapes and link the respective nodes together. We are not entirely sure where that will lead us, but I will be reporting back to you next month with the outcome of this fascinating journey that we are on.

Virgo Workshop
EMPOWERING THE SACRED FEMININE!
We began this Temple of the Stars journey in the rear leg of Leo the Lion. Hyacinth Park is an important power spot in the entire landscape zodiac and we began our day by opening space on Colquitz Creek. This particular spot had a beautiful visual connection with the "Centre of the Universe"
 Astronomical Observatory which was recently closed to the public due to the lack of Government funding. Amazingly the characteristic white dome can no longer be seen from this former vantage point. Strange! We gathered along the creek and opened space to the beautiful sacred sounds of Ancient Mother whose background mantra invokes all of the sacred feminine Goddesses and Priestesses.
Virgo energy is of the sacred feminine and is the abundance of the harvest bought into useful form, sorting the wheat from the chaff, in service to the greater good. The raw materials of the summer sun in Leo made into something useful for our benefit.
We continued our journey down the Gorge pausing at the Canoe Club to view the gentle soft curves of the feminine body as the Gorge waterway snaked its way down to the city.
 We spent time connecting with the beautiful twin flame trees on the bank, the strong and vertical male Douglas Fir, entwined and embraced by the curvacious Arbutus-a beautiful site. A short stroll lead us to the statue of Camosung, commemorating the native legend about her and her Grandfather. We have discovered that native legends indicate power vortexes in the landscape and this spot is no exception. The reversing falls under Tillicum Bridge where the tide changes bringing a rapid flow of water into the Gorge and then out again as the Tide changes. We were reminded that the key time is the still point, when there is no flow, "One moment in time!" With all of the distractions, chaos and scatteredness in our lives, we need these still points to relax, clear our minds, focus, be still and tune in.
Our lunch time discussion enabled sharing to take place about the qualities of Virgo and the current powerful astronomical alignments. We had a walk down to the reversing falls, tuned in and then returned to the Japanese Gardens in Tillicum Gorge Park where we joined together in quiet reflection. 
We then drove off to Limekiln Cove where a new set of stairs and a viewing platform have been built right in the back of the head of our Virgo's effigy. In the middle of the platform is an eight-pointed star pointing out the directions. This was an important place for the old ships to collect fresh drinking water as it flowed abundantly down the fertile green slopes out into the ocean. Another reminder of the beneficial flow of Mother Earth's bounteous supply.
We then took a brief sojourn out onto Christie Point, the Christ Point where our Virgo effigie's hand offers her wheat sheaf across the water of Portage inlet and into its destination of Knockan Hill, our final destination of the day.
Knockan Hill is another power vortex revealed through a native legend. A rope fell from the heavens and coiled up to create the hill. We climbed to the top and held our sacred ceremony, burying our green jade healing gem stone into the depths of Mother Earth. It becomes clearer and clearer that this work is of profound importance as the synchronicities, co-creations and wonderful miracles happen on what seems to be a daily basis. We are so blessed! Our final spot on Knockan Hill provided the opportunity to integrate all of the energies of the day while dancing to the music of Stairway to Heaven.
We look forward to our Libra Temple of the Stars journey on Sunday October 6th.

Sky WatchMonthly Constellation Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
The October 18th Penumbral Eclipse will not make much of a visual impact on the appearance of the Full Moon, but it will take place just after Moonrise in North America for a simultaneous Moonrise/Sunset moment. A rare event takes place on October 11th when three of Jupiter's moons will cast shadows onto the Jovian Clouds. In western North America, Callisto's shadow is moving off the disc by the time Jupiter rises.
The Orionids Meteor Shower is an average shower producing up to 20 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley, which has been known and observed since ancient times. It peaks this year on the night of October 21st and the morning of October 22nd. The waning gibbous moon will block some of the meteors this year, but the Orionids tend to be fairly bright so it could still be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Orion, but can appear anywhere in the sky. Uranus, the blue-green planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. This is the best time to view Uranus. Due to its distance, it will only appear as a tiny blue-green dot in all but the most powerful telescopes.

Book Review
Are You Happy Now? 10 Ways to Live a Happy Life
by Barbara Berger
What is preventing you from being happy now? Is it your partner, your health, your job, your financial situation or your weight? Or is it all the things you think you "should" do? Barbara Berger takes a look at all the things we think and do that prevent us from living happy lives now. The book's basic premise is that our thoughts determine our experience of reality-and understanding this is the key to living a happy life.
"Very practical. The book is easy to read and gives easy-to-understand guidance in positive thinking. The book will surely give people who are worried about life a real 'aha' experience." -Femina Magazine
This is a revolutionary way of looking at life because most people believe that outer conditions are the reason why they are unhappy. But if outer conditions are not the cause-what is? Berger presents 10 practical ways to use this understanding in your daily life, your relationships, at work and for your health. And she gives examples from her own dramatic life since leaving America at the young age of 18 in protest against the Vietnam War and settling in Scandinavia to her lifelong exploration of the power of mind and the nature of consciousness.

Astrological Signs
Libra
Libra is an air sign and ruled by Venus as Taurus is also. The symbol of the scales emphasizes the need for balance and harmony in the life of Libra personalities. Weighing alternatives can go very far in Libra, sometimes resulting in well considered opinion, at other times in indecision and uncertainty. Libra aims at fair treatment for all, but can at times be overly judgemental. The Venusian aspects of Libra are usually well appreciated by others, including sensuousness, charm, grace and good humour.

Monthly Animal Totem
The Dove

The skies will never see a more peaceful and graceful creature than the Dove. The Dove represents the feminine power of giving, prophecy, and the hope of a new beginning. The Dove shows and reveals the veils between the spiritual and physical worlds. Doves, breed and nest in pairs, mate for life, protect their territory and raise their young with their partners. The males as well as the females produce a milk like substance, called "crop milk" to feed their newborns. The Magnificent Dove Totem possesses the following virtues; Love, gentleness, new ideas, purity, intimate relationships, creativity, peace, family values, centered calmness, and a peaceful transition from difficulty. Dove's sweet song is a direct communication from the Holy Spirit reminding us that we are protected by powerful spiritual forces.
