UNDERSTANDING OCCULTISM

by Bruce Johnson. The term Occultism is among the most misunderstood and misinterpreted words in use today. The Merriam-Webster dictionary New Edition defines occult as that which is secret or hidden. A second definition describes occultism as the knowledge of supernatural agencies and their effects. Replacing the word supernatural in the second definition with the term para-physical or ethereal would be more accurate, as Occultism recognizes the invisible spheres as part of nature and not beyond it. It is unfortunate that in the minds of many people unfamiliar with dictionary usage that the word occult is synonymous with witchcraft, negative magic, or alignment with evil forces...
PROTECTION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

rituals
by Mario C. Veo. Ah, the good old days, when you could leave your front door unlocked... your bike on the porch and even misplace your wallet AND have it be returned intact!! Ah... those days of pure innocence, when people were kind, gentle, and trust was rewarded... not so much anymore! Today you are strongly advised to install an alarm system / close-circuit cameras / keep a watch-dog and even put bars on your windows..
Why?
Because the world is going through a dark patch, where just being dissatisfied is no longer a stimulus for getting better, but a justification for violence and abuse... where 'those that have' do not feel any responsibility towards 'the have-nots', but keep exploiting them, all in the name of 'entitlement' And I could go on and on, but you get the picture - it's no longer a 'nice' world...

PLANETS & POSSIBILITIES
A Look at the Astrology of May

Planets & Possibilities
by Sally Shotwell. May 1 has historically been a day when people throughout the world celebrate and offer thanks for the gifts Mother Nature bestows upon us. The creative energies which Aries unleashed are now manifesting in earthy Taurus where we find the Sun(consciousness), mental Mercury and beauty-loving Venus hanging out. Her presence here is appropriate since she rules this sign which guides our relationship to the natural world and our own physicality. This requires us to be in tne with our senses, creating pleasure in our lives. Dreamy Neptune in watery Pisces(5/1) and expansive, inspiring Jupiter(5'3) kick off the month joining the Sun  in an optimistic environment and encourage us to think big in forming future plans...

OK, IT'S TIME TO PAY ATTENTION... YES, RIGHT NOW!!

Rainbow Astrology
by Mario C. Veo. There are times in our life when we must be more aware, more cautious of our thoughts and words, more sensitive to Energies and what causes them... for here we stand at the very crossroads of Life, and the future is ours to shape ... if [and only if] we are aware. So, give up your mewling... your common complaints ... shrug off the past, with its losses and lacks, and once and for all claim your Right to live fully and joyfully.
No, it's not a slogan, nor a political platitude - yuck!
It is a call to clean yourself off of all those negative energies, those contaminating thoughts and feelings, to brush off the belittling people in your Life... and figure out what you really want what will make you happy... and, if for some weird reason you believe that you 'don't deserve', then it's well past time for you to change... to grow and see the True Beauty that you are...

DEEPLY AWAKE CHANNELING
Wednesday, May 4, 2016.    7 - 9 pm.    $25

Higher Brain Living
with Kathy Vik. Kathy channels a group of energies known as The Council of Twelve. The Council delivers a group channeling, and then they break out into individual work, addressing specific questions. The Council enjoys discussing consciousness, reality construction, DNA, our biology, so many many topics, but their reason for being here now is to assist us in daily life application of universal truths. They do deep energetic work, and are eager to assist us with our individual and planetary ascension process. Observation without active participation is perfectly acceptable, because it is the participant's presence which is honored above all. Call Kathy with questions at 720-271-1273, and reserve a space by calling 303-758-9113.

PROTECTION IS GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL
Saturdays, May 14, 21 28 & June 4, 2016.   11am - 12:30pm.   $25

with Mario C. Veo. "Protection" - from the most essential Aura Cleansing to the most advanced Psychic Attacks, from simple contaminants to deep purification... we'll examine it all. It's not enough to take care of the obvious, material things... nope, you must equally pay attention to the Energies you have around you. They are not necessarily 'evil'... just your common everyday 'worry', stress, illness, concern... or just a lovers' quarrel... all this gets dumped, willy-nilly, where-ever you go... and you step on it without even realizing it... now trekking it back into your home... all because you are not aware! Call 303-758-9113 to register.
