In Search of the Yeti

Searching the Slopes

It's not often that one gets to see the objects of ancient myths, and how many people do you know that have seen the Yeti, the Loch Ness monster or a flying spaceship? But wouldn't it be an exciting addition to a Himalayan tour, if you saw even the footprint of the Abominable Snowman? Since the 18th century, sightings of the Yeti have been reported by Himalayan hikers, and many are convinced that this legend lives in reality.

The Yeti, or Abominable Snowman as it is so often named, is said to be an Ape-like creature living in the Himalayan region of Tibet and Nepal. Adventurous tourists on holiday in the Himalayas frequently roam the mountains in search of this creature, but no conclusive evidence has yet been found to confirm its existence.

Strange Sightings in the Snow

One of the first documented sightings of the Yeti was that of B. H. Hodgson in the early 19th century. The men that were guiding him on a Himalayan tour in Nepal, spotted a tall, hairy, bipedal creature which fled from them in fear. Hodgson did not see the Yeti himself, but he took it upon himself to deem the animal an orang-utan.

Later in the century, in 1889, Laurence Waddell documents seeing footprints in the snow in his book Among the Himalayas. While he only saw footprints, his guides described sighting an ape-like creature near their camp. Applying similar thinking to Hodgson, Waddell concluded that the creature was a bear. While on holiday in the Himalayas, you could visit these regions known for their popular sightings, and possibly see the footprints yourself.

Reported sightings increased in the 20th century, because Westerners were determined to see the creature for themselves, and so were going on holiday in the Himalayas and on Himalayan tours in the hopes of spotting this mythical being.

A Royal Geographic Society photographer, Tombazi, claimed to have observed the creature for over a minute. His reports give account of a human-like creature walking upright and with no clothes. Later in the century, a man called Eric Shipton photographed some footprints in the snow, and some claim that these are the best supporting evidence documented to date.

While on a Himalayan tour, British mountaineer Don Whillans claimed to have witnessed a creature walking near his camp. He watched the creature through binoculars for over 20 minutes, and was also able to document footprints. Over 50 years later in 2007, television presenter Joshua Gates found footprints while on holiday in the Himalayas. He arranged for casts to be made of these 33cm long footprints. These were then scientifically analysed, and it was concluded that the footprints did not belong to any known animal.

Possible Explanations

The question of the Yeti's existence has sparked widespread debate among scientists, biologists and tourists on holiday in the Himalayas. The fact is that no evidence has been found to conclude that the Yeti is real, but similarly experts cannot come up with a conclusive explanation for the many sightings.

Some put it down to simple misidentification, claiming that it is nothing more than a Tibetan or Himalayan bear. Some postulate that it could even be a human hermit! Another explanation is that it is a surviving gigantopithecus (an extinct species of ape). This theory, however, is even more unlikely than the existence of a mysterious beast, because it was a quadruped (an animal which naturally walks on all fours) and would have had great difficulty in walking upright.

Whatever you believe, a holiday in the Himalayas might prove to have an exciting twist, and you could be converted into being an avid supporter of the existence of the Yeti, if you see it one day on a Himalayan tour.

How to Divine With a Crystal Ball

Crystal-gazing is the practice of looking into a ball of crystal, glass, or anything that is similar to a ball of crystal and trying to see within it meaningful pictures or symbols which can help in some way to solve a problem or answer some question.

Crystal-Gazing is a very old divinatory art. The ancient Egyptians used it in their practices of divination, and, throughout history, we find traces of this magical art. In the middle-ages it was revived, especially by the learned Dr. John Dee, who was Astrologer Royal to Queen Elisabeth I of England. Dr. Dee had no occult faculties, so he had to employed a seer or "scryer" by the name of Edward Kelly to look into the crystal for him. Dr. Dee wrote a book on his researches with Edward Kelly, which work is now classical.

Crystal-Gazing is one of the simplest and at the same time one of the best ways to develop psychic ability. It is not necessary, to have a crystal or even a glass-ball. You can use a bowl of black ink, It does just as well.

How to begin
The first thing to do is to either fill a bowl with black ink, or get yourself a crystal, or glass ball of at least three inches in diameter, larger if you can get one, and mounted on a slender wooden stand. The stand and crystal should be placed against a background of matt black cloth. Also have matt black cloth on the table. Try and make sure that there is no light cast on the crystal, no sun light or anything (this goes as well if you're using ink). If the outlines of the ball look a little hazy owing to the semi-darkness, this will often assist matters.

Now sit in a comfortable chair with your eyes about a foot from the crystal, or ink bowl. Make sure your eyes are shaded from any light, and you are relaxed in body and quiet in mind.

Now gaze steadily at the crystal, or ink bowl for a few minutes; do not focus the eyes on any particular part. Just let your eyes see all of the object you are gazing at. Try not blink the eyes more than you can help, but also do not strain them by trying to keep them open for any length of time without blinking. Do not let your eyes wander from the object you are gazing at. Try not let your eyes stare vacantly, but look with intent at the ball, or ink without unnecessary strain. Do not think of anything in particular during the course of this gazing. make the mind quite blank, at the same time do not allow yourself to become drowsy or the mind to become totally blank to the outside world.

At first it is best not do more than five minutes because if you do more you'll find that your eyes will become strained. If this is the case you can be sure that you have been gazing for too long. It is best to sit at the same time every day, while developing and for the same amount of time each day this will then programme your subconscious mind to associate the sitting with developing the ability to see imagines in the crystal.

Alien Encounters Offer Interesting Information About the Grey Aliens

When someone mentions the word alien, most people will describe what is now known as the Grey alien. Because of the popularity of extraterrestrials created by all forms of media including movies and books, the Grey Aliens have become the modern day icon for the alien phenomena. Further credibility is offered due to the fact that abductees have given similar accounts and descriptions about this particular species.

What do Grey Aliens Look Like?

Extremely thin with an over-sized head, the Grey is covered with wrinkled, dolphin-like skin made up of varying shades of gray. They have no eyelids so their almond shape eyes appear very large. The Grey stands about 4 to 6 feet in height and weighs between 50 to 90 pounds. It has 4 fingers on webbed hands.

Because they have no ears, it is assumed that they communicate by telepathy. People who have been abducted by Grey aliens confirm that the alien never uses their mouth to speak, but the abductees have a sense of knowing just what the alien wants them to do because thoughts come into their minds when they are with them. This thought transference or telepathy is very calming and peaceful so much so that experiencers state that they wanted to do what the alien suggested and were very calm about the entire encounter.

Famous Grey Alien Abduction

One of the most famous accounts of alien abduction is the story of husband and wife, Barney & Betty Hill. In 1961, they were abducted by aliens and brought onto a UFO where they both received medical examinations. Betty Hill describes her encounter much like going to a doctor's appointment. She had a long conversation with the Grey alien doctor who showed her a star map of their home planet and discussed trade routes their ship traveled.

Where do the Greys come from?

Betty Hill began experiencing nightmares soon after her abduction. She sought professional help and was able to meet with a Boston doctor who used hypnosis to bring back the circumstances of her abduction. She was able to recall portions of the star map and drew a picture of what she remembered although unable to pinpoint exactly where the Greys originated. Years later, Marjorie Fish while researching alien abduction stories heard about the Hill abduction and was able to review the drawing of the star map. She theorized that the Grey aliens' home was on Zeta Reticuli, twin stars about 220 trillion miles from Earth.

Why are they here?

Most people who have encountered this alien being feel that they are friendly and mean no true harm to humankind. They believe that the Greys observe us and document our physical condition just as scientists studying animal species here on earth.

There are other abductees who allege that the Greys are not so innocent and have more sinister plans for humans. Their stories involve a civil rebellion by the Greys' creators, the Reptilians, a race of aliens who cloned the Greys and forced them into slavery. Because the Greys have no access to the technology that cloned them, some stories state that the Grey aliens struck a deal with the U.S. Government. These alien beings would exchange technologically advanced information to the government if we allowed them to abduct humans for genetic experimental purposes. If these stories are true, then the majority of alien abductions committed by the Greys involve their plans to use human DNA to help their race survive.

No Ghouls or Ghosts Here, Just Us Energy Beings

Happy Halloween,

And welcome to the REAL energetic world!

No ghouls or ghosts here, just us energy beings...

BE BRAVE, JOURNEY WITH ME INTO THE UNKNOWN --- Into the world of PURE ENERGY....

No rattling bones, no ghoulish faces, no trick or treat bags and candy-caused tummy aches... just pure vibration and a variety of frequencies.

Sound bland and boring? I assure you - it is not.

If my experience is anything to go by, the energetic world is exciting and fast-paced... as thrilling as the latest, big screen action movie and full of challenges.

I'M HEADED THAT WAY NOW. COME ALONG?

Right up ahead, there is a Halloween Party in full swing. Electric lights dim and flicker as lightening pierces the sky. Thunder crashes overhead. Candles illuminate frightening, carved pumpkin faces. Costumed guests mark time to a bone- jarring beat. The music is too loud to think. The pulse is intense, but do not worry, our focus is elsewhere. We are headed 'there, but not there. That is the nature of the energetic world that is our goal.

Tonight we are going right into the middle of that chaotic scene to see beyond the dark night, the brooding storm, and the excited people. Our goal is to sense/feel the vibrations present and to learn about the real disembodied world.

What we discover when we open ourselves to really feel the space is that the energies there are disharmonious, unbalanced and askew. The place 'feels' awful.

We would prefer to turn and leave, but we stay as we are committed to the job. Not only is the climate, nasty, but there is an angst in the people; they feel sad, frustrated, almost angry, but their feelings are hidden just below the surface. And the politics of the crowd is off as well. A zoning issue before the local governing body has divided the town, leaving hostile feelings that are barely being cloaked by attendance at this Halloween celebration. Also, unseen is the stirring of an ancient earthquake fault-line that runs directly under our Halloween party site. All those feelings, as well as the climatic and geological disturbances are reflected in the vibrations you feel as you enter this field or energetic space.

On the surface it appears we are about to party. And we may do just that, physically. But as newly enlisted 'energy workers' we have a job to do. We must attempt to balance the energies in that area or field. Hidden from the eye of those who cannot see or do not sense the misalignment present, we go to work. 'Other' dimensional' energies come through our bodies as if they are conduits for the universe, as indeed they are. This 'other dimensional' energy pulsates out from our bodies effecting the three dimensional energies all around us until the disharmony is altered. The music may still sound the same, the wild dancing may look the same, but, if we are successful, within moments or hours, the atmosphere of the party and the place will feel different. The energy will have changed. The people present will feel calmer. The joy will be deeper and all who attended will depart feeling better than when they arrived.

We, our little band of energy workers, have consciously or unconsciously signed up for this unseen work. We are committed to making the changes on the planet positive ones. Our job tonight at this Halloween party is just one aspect of the invisible work we do. We are not ghosts, nor ghouls, nor aliens. We are real physical people, doing real non-physical energy work.

Are you one of us?

The Best Afterlife Evidence They Don't Want You To Know (Proof We Have A Soul That Lives Forever)

Is the afterlife real or just wishful thinking? Are we truly spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience, or are we simply flesh and bone with no soul or higher self? And is there any real evidence that we "survive" the death of our physical body...or is the whole idea of an afterlife simply silly? If you are anything like I was when I first started researching the facts about what happens when we die, I was skeptical, cynical and NOT expecting to be impressed with what I learned.

Want to know the truth? The evidence that there IS in fact an afterlife is very, VERY good! And after 20 years of research, I can honestly say I no longer doubt that there is an afterlife....and if you've experienced what I have along the way, so TOO would you!

Some of the very BEST evidence that life continues on after our bodies die?

1. Near Death Experiences (especially those where people SEE and hear things while out of their bodies that would be IMPOSSIBLE otherwise)
2. EVP (electronic voice phenomena...where voices of deceased people CLEARLY can be heard to the satisfaction of those who knew them in life)
3. Authentic Apparitions (Those seen by MULTIPLE people simultaneously are very difficult to explain...even for the staunchest skeptics around!)
4. Death Bed Visitations (Hospice organizations and critical care professional studies have shown that up to 80% of people "see" loved ones who come to take them when they're ready....often having lucid, clear and easily understandable conversations for the first time in weeks or months)

Other evidence that is VERY hard to argue with?

• Out of body experiences that PROVE to the percipient they have a soul or spiritual self
• Remote viewing or spontaneous psychic experiences that prove to be true
• ADC's (after death or "at" death communications by those who have recently crossed over who appear to loved ones to assure them they are okay...many of which have recently been reported by U.S. media by those who have lost family members during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars)

But the very BEST evidence that there is an afterlife from MY perspective?

Psychic medium readings...where information comes through, from a spiritual personality, that is IMPOSSIBLE for the medium to have known ahead of time. Even better? When that information was NOT known by the person getting the reading either. (ruling out mind reading, or any other psychic phenomena we don't yet understand)

The bottom line?

If you've ever had a genuine experience, with an authentic psychic medium, where you are giving PROOF that someone you loved is still there...and watching you...and is part of your everyday life, it's IMPOSSIBLE to walk away without believing the afterlife is real! (and that's the ONE personal experience I had...that finally changed my mind forever!)

God and The Devil - Divine Revelation That Explains All Mysteries

I have already given you many lessons about my discoveries after continuing Carl Jung's research. Now you have a scientific basis. Therefore, you know that we are in fact primates. We have a huge absurd, violent and immoral primitive conscience (anti-conscience) that occupies the biggest part of our brain. On the other hand, we have a very tiny human conscience, which is under-developed and one-sided.

Our primitive conscience is a devil because it was formed and developed without any organization in the beginning of its accidental appearance on the universe. It didn't evolve, and this is why it is still the same as it was billions of years ago. Only the tiny human part of our conscience was transformed through consciousness and has evolved with time.

This is the vision we have as we translate the meaning of our dreams, thanks to the continuation of Carl Jung's research. Today we know that we have the wise guidance of the unconscious mind in our own dreams, so that we may be able to fight against the absurd content we have inherited. Otherwise, we would never manage to win the battle against our powerful primitive self.

The mysterious unconscious wisdom cannot belong to the ignorant human being; it proves the existence of a superior creature. In other words, it proves the existence of God.

The anti-conscience is the first conscience that appeared in the universe, what means that even God is originated from a satanic conscience. He could differentiate himself, discovering goodness. Through the unconscious mind, he helps us pass through the same process he did, so that we may become perfect like him.

The discovery of the anti-conscience's existence justifies the formation of mental illnesses and mental disorders in our population. It explains why violence, cruelty, immorality, and other horrors characterize our current civilization and many other previous civilizations before ours. This discovery also proves that everybody needs psychotherapy. There are no exceptions.

Fortunately, we have the free psychotherapy of the unconscious mind when we learn how to translate our dreams according to Jung's method. I greatly simplified it, transforming it into a fast method of instant translation from images into words.

By following the unconscious guidance, we will become perfect human beings. We will transform our wild self into a positive component of our human side. All the absurd tendencies we have inherited will be eliminated, and we'll acquire mind power.

This discovery is in fact the biggest victory of the human race. It proves that the tiny human part of our conscience managed to surpass the powerful anti-conscience. I was the one who finally discovered its existence, and also the saintly nature of the unconscious mind. However, this discovery is not only mine. Carl Jung's research, and the work of many other human beings before me, helped me discover the entire truth. I simply related everything and found the missing pieces of the puzzle.

This discovery puts an end to the original sin! Now that we have discovered the entire truth, we will humbly obey the unconscious guidance, the same way we'll respect the teachings of our religions. This is the same as to say that now we'll accept obeying God's will, recognizing our absurdity.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung's research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

The New Children - Crystal and Indigo Energies

The New Children (aka Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, Star Children) are everywhere. They are highly evolved souls incarnating now to help ascend humanity into unity consciousness.
Anyone interested enough to be reading this probably has a role in assisting the New Children in some way - even just through your awareness and appreciation of them.
As we move towards 2012 and beyond, the New Children are becoming even more consciously aware of their true selves and of their mission. The early-wavers have worked hard and in very difficult challenges to break down old energies enough to allow the new-wavers in.
Many of the early-wavers have been the ones labelled with ADHD and ADD or have had difficult childhoods and adolescences as they have broken down old educational, familial and societal structures.
New Children are still human
The New Children are very special and precious, but they usually look and act like 'normal' children for the most part. But we have become accustomed to these children gradually and often believe their more assertive, loving, sensitive, creative, telepathic, disruptive and/or wise natures are just a product of a new generation.
However, I'd bet that if we went back to our parents or grandparents generation, and even our own childhoods and hung out with kids for a while, the contrast would be easy to see.
It is so important to know that these children still act like children - they cry, whinge, fight, tantrum, fail, get scared, and love the usual kids games and toys.
They are in the human experience too so they are working within the matrix of the collective human energy and have lower egos. If you feel your child is of the New Children, but doubted it because they seemed too 'normal' then please remember this.
Not many of them are doing things that are obviously magical or spiritual. Although they are telepathic, psychic and have abilities to do things like levitate, practice telekinesis and even teleport, we don't usually see much or any evidence of it in day to day life.
You may see them waving their fingers or hands around, or do things like bend their forehead to yours, as they shift energy and do their healing work. A lot of their work is done during the sleep state.
Some of them are guardians and holders of the light that is flooding the Earth now to ensure that it 'sticks'.
Highly sensitive to energies
They are all sensitive and this means that they can get easily overwhelmed. Because they are so empathic, their own energy soaks up the energies around them and this can make them behave in very agitated, erratic and hyper ways as they struggle to cope with the overwhelm.
This can turn into a difficult cycle where their behaviour gets them labelled as 'difficult', when really they just need to get back into their own balanced energy.
Instead of acting out, other children may retreat from any conflict and turn the other cheek whilst absorbing negativity and then trying to transmute it all.
Either way these sensitive children need protection from negativity and tools to help them balance their energies. Just teaching them to ask themselves, 'Is this energy mine?' is very useful.
Help them stay balanced
It is important that parents realise they are guardians of very special souls who find it difficult to be in dense energies. If they are immersed for too long in heavy energies, they can forget their true selves and lose their path, or at least go off on an unpleasant and disruptive tangent.
This is the risk that these courageous souls take in incarnating in a density they are un-used to, so anything their guardians can do to help them stay balanced and in touch with their true selves is vital.
Lots of time outdoors in nature, swimming, clean foods and water, avoiding the rigid adherence to strict routines and disciplines, more flexible educational structures and of course lots of love help them keep balanced.
Unique gifts and qualities
Each soul has its own purpose, so each child reflects different qualities. Some are very outgoing, assertive (bossy even) and energetic because that will best serve them in their purpose. Some are quiet and relatively inactive because that might serve them in their role. Some are intellectually gifted, some are highly creative. There is no norm for the New Child.
As parents and caretakers of these souls we need to be aware and supportive of their true tendencies and passions.
Most of all they need love. This is why they search for validation and acceptance from the world and will do everything they can to ensure that they get it. If they don't, they can react by withdrawing their energy, themselves and their love.
We must be aware of projecting our desires and fears on to them. If a child from a family with an intensely academic and professional focus seems to rebel and want to be a garbo or a gardener, s/he may be serving the purpose of breaking an old matrix pattern of rigidity and inauthenticity. And maybe just following their passions. Every time an old and unhelpful system is broken down it serves the whole.
It's weird to label these children but just look at it as a way to understand them more:
Indigo - these are the first-wavers of the New Children and are known as systems busters or spiritual warriors. They started coming in as early as the 1940s, with large numbers coming in the 1960s and 70s. We now have quite a number of Indigo adults around.
A huge influx of souls carrying indigo energies arrived in the 1990s, and more so since 2000.
Some of these kids have given us the ADHD and ADD phenomenon - they are busting up crusty old systems of education and society that were based on control and limitation. Doreen Virtue reckons ADHD should stand for Attention Dialed into a Higher Dimension. These kids cannot and will not be controlled with inauthentic power. They respond only to real respect and love.
They are very brave souls and have faced great difficulties in their roles. They have often experienced a lot of anguish and conflict in being so sensitive and in busting up the old, and in some cases being put on drugs like Ritalin to try to control them.
Their families, teachers and supporters also deserve our appreciation for their invaluable role in this change. It has been hard for them too and they have often not known how to deal with the indigo energies.
There has been a phenomenon of suicides by some indigos who have become too overwhelmed with life. There have also been some who have really gone off the rails and committed very violent acts.
The light side of these dark acts has been in the breaking down of systems that were not working and the raising of awareness of how children and teenagers are educated and treated.
Crystal - the crystal or 'Christed' energy is heart-based. Children carry different levels of indigo and crystal energies, with some being very indigo and some very crystal, but many carry both.
Crystal energies are very loving and compassionate...but they can also be very feisty and angry. They are in a human experience after all.
Their very loving natures are what shines through most, especially when they are balanced and in pleasant surroundings. They often love talk of hearts, angels and love, and are affectionate and loving in a delightfully free and natural way.
Children with a lot of crystalline energy are more likely to withdraw themselves from day to day life if they are overwhelmed, as opposed to indigo energies which are more likely to act out. The surge in autism and Asperger's is linked to crystal children who are living in a very different dimension a lot of the time.
Many crystals are slow to talk because they are so telepathic they don't see a need for it.
They may think in such different and creative ways that are not aligned with traditional 'old school' education methods. More flexible approaches to education are so important for these and other New Children because they will not respond well to rigid and fixed regimes.
It is lovely to acknowledge the New Children, either verbally or telepathically. Thank them for coming to Earth and for what they are doing here. Acknowledge that you know they are a highly evolved soul in a little human body and that you appreciate them.
It is a big love-fest and brings much tenderness, love and appreciation between you.
