What can we do when everyday we are bombarded by the media by sensational stories meant to inflict fear, panic, and insight anger? Everyday people are fed this negative toxic information from more and more sources. You may have noticed that it is hard to escape even in general conversations it seems to be all that anyone can talk about. This in and of itself is not a bad thing it would be foolish to not stay some what informed but it is the way that it is presented. There is little to no balance of the positive with the negative. When all you do is talk about the negative aspects and do not look to find the positive (no matter how tiny) you are building up the negative energy in your system and spreading the fear, anger, and in some cases hatred to others.</p>
<p>I know that most of the people that read this article are already pretty mindful of the effects of their words on others and they choose not to add to the negative processes in the world. But I am seeing more and more people unable to escape the effects of this energy. So what can we do? How can we change any of this.</p>
<p>The first things to do is to practice mindfulness of  what we say,what we ingest( take into our minds and bodies),and what we think about. Mindfulness will guide us back to a healthy non-judgmental state. Mindfulness will help us limit our Media ingestion, and help us from spreading this toxic thinking and words to others.</p>
<p>The second thing and this is why I am writing this is to start telling positive stories. Start finding something positive or even neutral to talk about. Talk about the food drive that you helped with, Talk about your neighbor who has such a beautiful yard, talk about the anything and everything that you like,love, and are inspired by. When someone  Starts talking about the &#8220;problems of our country&#8221; remain silent. Silence is powerful it says that I will not join you in this. Write blogs about tiny inspiring events that are about love and compassion  not fear and hatred.</p>
<p>If you are so inclined write to your local media and tell the that you would enjoy some more positive stories instead of stories about war, poverty, crime, and politics. They may not change but atleast you put it out there that you want something different. Do not settle for this state of negative influence and negative energy. Fight to keep some lights burning. It is sometimes difficult to not wallow in the rest of it with everyone else but if you strive for the best and highest influence you can reach from where you are you can help change the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been working with hemimorphite. I find this stone to be gentle and powerful at the same time. Gently blending life into one joyous flow filled with purpose, compassion, and freedom. Hemimophite is quite powerful stone working to connect the emotional, physical, and subtle bodies.  Hemimorphite is a stone that helps raise our vibrational level and to help ground and hold this new higher vibrational level.<img class="alignright" src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn218/Intuitedlife/BlueHemimorphiteRawForm-1.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="240" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hemimorphite is a stone of joy. Joy is not an emotion that excludes other emotional experiences. Joy is an experience of all of lifes emotions with out judgment, seeing the Sweet with the sour so to speak. Allowing us to view even painful emotions in a light of growth and acceptance. This acceptance allows us to view our emotions from a calm centered space. It is through this wholistic view of our emotional experience that  we develop the ability to grow emotionally.There is a blended unrestricted flow of emotions that helps become Empathic and compassionate to the joys and suffering of others.  Hemimorphite encourages emotional honesty and helps with the communication of our emotions to others in an open and honest way. This honest communication builds personal relationships and group dynamics. This stone is very useful for those working as healers and counselors. Affording a strong emotional connection that is empathic not pitying. Using hemimorphite during healing and counseling will help your clients express the emotional core beliefs that are holding them back or affecting the dis-ease of there bodies, minds, or spirits.</p>
<p>Hemimorphite is a stone of spiritual Ascension and Spiritual Purpose. This powerful stone connects us with our highest spiritual self  forcing us to take personal responsibility for our lives past and present as<img class="alignright" src="http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn218/Intuitedlife/BlueHemimorphiteTumbled.jpg" alt="Blue Hemimorphite Tumbled" width="253" height="233" /> well as our health and Dis-ease. Hemimrophite raises the light of energetic vibrations in our auric field bring us closer to the state of ascension. Hemimorphite has powerful protective and cleansing properties that cleanse dark spots and negative energies form the aura and  protecting us from the negative energies of others allowing us to rise above those energies. This protection is a very powerful protector from the manipulations of others both conscious and unconscious keeping us free from unconsciously following the herd so to speak. With this clarity and connection to our highest spiritual self  we gain the ability to use our intuition to guide us to our highest purpose. All of this the raising of vibration, development of empathic compassion, the personal responsibility, cleansing, and connection to our higher self  leading to our soul purpose are essential and key to the way of Ascension.</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582977011?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=intulife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582977011">Crystal Bible 2</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=intulife-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1582977011" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> Judy Hall says Hemimorphite helps bring a general sense of well being as well as supports regaining health on all levels. Used especially to support weight loss, pain relief, blood disorders, the heart, cellular memory and structures; helps with genital herpes, warts,and ulcerative disorders, hormonal inbalances,burns and restless legs</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1556436688?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=intulife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1556436688">The Book of Stones: Who They Are &amp; What They Teach</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=intulife-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1556436688" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> Richard Simmons and Naisha Ahsian list the keywords of Hemimorphite as: Light Activation, aura balancing, emotional healing and communication, empathy, joy, channeling and mediumship. Richard Simmons says the emotional communication leads to the healing of  dysfunctional relationships as well as the inner growth and empathy necessary to communicate with those who have moved on to other realms of existence.</p>
<p>Here is some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemimorphite">mineralogical information from Wikipedia</a>. Hemimorphite, is a sorosilicate mineral which has been mined from days of old from the upper parts of zinc and lead ores, chiefly associated with smithsonite. It was often assumed to be the same mineral and both were classed under the same name of calamine. In the second half of the 18th century it was discovered that there were two different minerals under the heading of calamine &#8211; a zinc carbonate and a zinc silicate, which often closely resembled each other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Charoite" src="http://jameshost.ehost-services162.com/wordpress/wp-content/charoite2.jpg " alt="" width="301" height="225" /><strong>Charoite is the stone of soul purpose.</strong> Charoite is a stone of very profound emotional and spiritual influence. As I explored the depths of this stone I found that it was a stone that brought about a deep feeling of peace, confidence and acceptance of the present moment as perfect. From this place of centered calm judgments about the present seemed to dissolve along with the anxieties of life. This is probably how Charoite has earned it`s reputation as a stone of courage. Courage is standing strong in the face of fear, Charoite does more than give you the ability to face your fears. Charoite dissolves the thought forms that feed our fears by allowing us to see the present moment without judgment. Judgment is the true beginning of fear and anxiety, the emotions that wreak such havoc on our physical an subtle energy systems. It is when we forget that there are no good or bad events in our lives, only it events, that we start to bring in fear and anxiety. Charoite allows us to stay open to the changing winds of life in a calm centered way.</p>
<p>Charoite is also a stone of compassion and unconditional love. Charoite connects the heart chakra to the crown chakra bringing a compassionate view to our spiritual endeavors. This heart centered awareness allows us to see that we are all spiritual beings connected by our being a part of the same Divine Creation. This environment of unconditional love is the beginning of a deeper understanding of our spiritual path. The first step is letting go of judgments that we have placed on ourselves and others facilitating, personal healing and forgiveness. This process of healing further grounds us in the present moment bringing in the higher spiritual vibrations to our physical world. With out our judgments our Insights and intuitions about our spiritual growth and path become clearer. With our judgments dissolved we then can begin to think about the world in a compassionate manner. Love is the emotion, Compassion is the new way that we view our world. Compassion is truly hindered by fears and prejudices. These two create the illusory divisions that lead to our feelings of separateness. This stone draws downs the higher vibrational energies and grounds them in our everyday life. Increasing the work of spirit in our lives guiding us, Not always gently, To our higher spiritual purpose.</p>
<p>Charoite helps one to acclimate to higher energy vibrations and is especially useful for energy workers, channels, and anyone that works with higher vibrational energies. For those that are working to raise their energy vibrations Charoite reminds you to bring the higher-vibrational energy  down to the earth plane. Charoite helps overcome spiritual escapism, encouraging one to to assume responsibility for bring spiritual energies where they are needed and grounding them here on earth.</p>
<p>In<em> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1556436688?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=intulife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1556436688">The Book of Stones: Who They Are &amp; What They Teach</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=intulife-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1556436688" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> </em>Richard Simmons Say that Because of it`s Emanation of the purple ray it is a powerful tool for the cleansing of the ethereal body,Cleansing dis harmonies and in dispelling negativity. It can protect one from psychic attack and dispel the tendency to have bad dreams. It can help release internalized negativity and fear to help bring healing for maladies that spring from these.  Charoite can increase synchronicity in your life. Learning to understand the messages in these can guiding one as if by a golden thread down the &#8220;<strong><em>pathless path of ones highest potential</em></strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Judy hall in the<em> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1582972400?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=intulife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1582972400">The Crystal Bible</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=intulife-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1582972400" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> </em>Says Charoite regulates blood pressure, treats eyes, heart, liver, and pancreas. It reverses liver damage due to alcohol, alleviates cramps,aches, and pains. Charoite bestows deep sleep with powerful dreams, overcomes, insomnia, and give children calm sleep. Charoite heals autism and bipolar disorder.It is helpful with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system where the heart is involved.<em> </em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charoite" target="_blank">Mineralogical information for Charoite from Wikipedia </a></em></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Charoite</strong> (K(Ca;Na)<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub>(OH;F)·H<sub>2</sub>O) is a rare mineral, named for the <a title="Chara River" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chara_River">Chara River</a> (though this etymology is disputed by some), and found only in the <a title="Sakha Republic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakha_Republic">Sakha Republic</a>, <a title="Siberia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia">Siberia</a>, <a title="Russia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia">Russia</a>.

<p>Charoite is a strong, translucent lavender to purple in color, reminding some of a <a title="Granite" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite">granite</a> or <a title="Marble" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble">marble</a> with its pearly, swirling luster. However, it is a discrete <a title="Mineral" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral">mineral</a> rather than a rock. Charoite is strictly massive in nature, and fractures are conchoidal. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes <a title="Chatoyant" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatoyant">chatoyant</a>, and that, along with its intense color, sometimes of a &#8220;grape&#8221; nature, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>This is A great Description of the embracing of mystery I have borrowed this excerpt from the Kybalion written in 1912 Anonymously by Three Initiates. In this Excerpt the Initiates Discuss the All As being Unknowable and beyond the ability of the human mind to put into words.</h4>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">THE ALL</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Under, and back of, the Universe of Time, Space and Change,<br />
is ever to be found The Substantial Reality&#8211;the Fundamental<br />
Truth.&#8221;&#8211;The Kybalion.<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=intulife-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=1585426431&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Substance&#8221; means: &#8220;that which underlies all outward manifestations; the essence; the essential reality; the thing in itself,&#8221; etc. &#8220;Substantial&#8221; means: &#8220;actually existing; being the essential element; being real,&#8221; etc. &#8220;Reality&#8221; means: &#8220;the state of being real; true, enduring; valid; fixed; permanent; actual,&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>Under and behind all outward appearances or manifestations, there must always be a Substantial Reality. This is the Law. Man considering the Universe, of which he is a unit, sees nothing but change in matter, forces, and mental states. He sees that nothing really IS, but that everything is BECOMING and CHANGING. Nothing stands still-everything is being born, growing, dying-the very instant a thing reaches its height, it begins to decline&#8211;the law of rhythm is in constant operation&#8211;there is no reality, enduring quality, fixity, or substantiality in anything&#8211; nothing is permanent but Change. He sees all things evolving from other things, and resolving into other things&#8211;constant action and reaction; inflow and outflow; building up and tearing down; creation and destruction; birth, growth and death. Nothing endures but Change. And if he be a thinking man, he realizes that all of these changing things must be but outward appearances or manifestations of some Underlying Power&#8211;some Substantial Reality.</p>
<p>All thinkers, in all lands and in all times, have assumed the necessity for postulating the existence of this Substantial Reality. All philosophies worthy of the name have been based upon this thought. Men have given to this Substantial Reality many names-some have called it by the term of Deity (under many titles). Others have called it &#8220;The Infinite and Eternal Energy&#8221; others have tried to call it &#8220;Matter&#8221;&#8211;but all have acknowledged its existence. It is self-evident it needs no argument.</p>
<p>In these lessons we have followed the example of some of the world&#8217;s greatest thinkers, both ancient and modern&#8211;the Hermetic. Masters&#8211;and have called this Underlying Power&#8211;this Substantial Reality&#8211;by the Hermetic name of &#8220;THE ALL,&#8221; which term we consider the most comprehensive of the many terms applied by Man to THAT which transcends names and terms.</p>
<p>We accept and teach the view of the great Hermetic thinkers of all times, as well as of those illumined souls who have reached higher planes of being, both of whom assert that the inner nature of THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE. This must be so, for naught by THE ALL itself can comprehend its own nature and being.</p>
<p>The Hermetists believe and teach that THE ALL, &#8220;in itself,&#8221; is and must ever be UNKNOWABLE. They regard all the theories, guesses and speculations of the theologians and metaphysicians regarding the inner nature of THE ALL, as but the childish efforts of mortal minds to grasp the secret of the Infinite. Such efforts have always failed and will always fail, from the very nature of the task. One pursuing such inquiries travels around and around in the labyrinth of thought, until he is lost to all sane reasoning, action or conduct, and is utterly unfitted for the work of life. He is like the squirrel which frantically runs around and around the circling treadmill wheel of his cage, traveling ever and yet reaching nowhere&#8211;at the end a prisoner still, and standing just where he started.</p>
<p>And still more presumptuous are those who attempt to ascribe to THE ALL the personality, qualities, properties, characteristics and attributes of themselves, ascribing to THE ALL the human emotions, feelings, and characteristics, even down to the pettiest qualities of mankind, such as jealousy, susceptibility to flattery and praise, desire for offerings and worship, and all the other survivals from the days of the childhood of the race. Such ideas are not worthy of grown men and women, and are rapidly being discarded.</p>
<p>(At this point, it may be proper for me to state that we make a distinction between Religion and Theology&#8211;between Philosophy and Metaphysics. Religion, to us, means that intuitional realization of the existence of THE ALL, and one&#8217;s relationship to it; while Theology means the attempts of men to ascribe personality, qualities, and characteristics to it; their theories regarding its affairs, will, desires, plans, and designs, and their assumption of the office of &#8221; middle-men&#8221; between THE ALL and the people. Philosophy, to us, means the inquiry after knowledge of things knowable and thinkable; while Metaphysics means the attempt to carry the inquiry over and beyond the boundaries and into regions unknowable and unthinkable, and with the same tendency as that of Theology. And consequently, both Religion and Philosophy mean to us things having roots in Reality, while Theology and Metaphysics seem like broken reeds, rooted in the quicksands of ignorance, and affording naught but the most insecure support for the mind or soul of Man. we do not insist upon our students accepting these definitions&#8211;we mention them merely to show our position. At any rate, you shall hear very little about Theology and Metaphysics in these lessons.)</p>
<p><span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>But while the essential nature of THE ALL is Unknowable, there are certain truths connected with its existence which the human mind finds itself compelled to accept. And an examination of these reports form a proper subject of inquiry, particularly as they agree with the reports of the Illumined on higher planes. And to this inquiry we now invite you.</p>
<p>&#8220;THAT which is the Fundamental Truth&#8211;the Substantial<br />
Reality&#8211;is beyond true naming, but the Wise Men call<br />
it THE ALL.&#8221;&#8211;The Kybalion.</p>
<p>&#8220;In its Essence, THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE.&#8221;&#8211;The Kybalion.</p>
<p>&#8220;But, the report of Reason must be hospitably received,<br />
and treated with respect.&#8221;&#8211;The Kybalion.</p>
<p>The human reason, whose reports we must accept so long as we think at all, informs us as follows regarding THE ALL, and that without attempting to remove the veil of the Unknowable:</p>
<p>(1) THE ALL must be ALL that REALLY IS. There can be<br />
nothing existing outside of THE ALL, else THE ALL would<br />
not be THE ALL.</p>
<p>(2) THE ALL must be INFINITE, for there is nothing else<br />
to define, confine, bound, limit; or restrict THE ALL.<br />
It must be Infinite in Time, or ETERNAL,&#8211;it must have<br />
always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to<br />
have ever created it, and something can never evolve from<br />
nothing, and if it had ever &#8220;not been,&#8221; even for a moment,<br />
it would not &#8220;be&#8221; now,&#8211;it must continuously exist forever,<br />
for there is nothing to destroy it, and it can never<br />
&#8220;not-be,&#8221; even for a moment, because something can never<br />
become nothing. It must be Infinite in Space&#8211;it must be<br />
Everywhere, for there is no place outside of THE ALL&#8211;it<br />
cannot be otherwise than continuous in Space, without break,<br />
cessation, separation, or interruption, for there is nothing<br />
to break, separate, or interrupt its continuity, and nothing<br />
with which to &#8220;fill in the gaps.&#8221; It must be Infinite in<br />
Power, or Absolute, for there is nothing to limit, restrict,<br />
restrain, confine, disturb or condition it&#8211;it is subject to<br />
no other Power, for there is no other Power.</p>
<p>(3) THE ALL must be IMMUTABLE, or not subject to change in<br />
its real nature, for there is nothing to work changes upon it<br />
nothing into which it could change, nor from which it could<br />
have changed. It cannot be added to nor subtracted from;<br />
increased nor diminished; nor become greater or lesser in any<br />
respect whatsoever. It must have always been, and must always<br />
remain, just what it is now&#8211;THE ALL&#8211;there has never been,<br />
is not now, and never will be, anything else into which it<br />
can change.</p>
<p>THE ALL being Infinite, Absolute, Eternal and Unchangeable it must follow that anything finite, changeable, fleeting, and conditioned cannot be THE ALL. And as there is Nothing outside of THE ALL, in Reality, then any and all such finite things must be as Nothing in Reality. Now do not become befogged, nor frightened&#8211;we are not trying to lead you into the Christian Science field under cover of Hermetic Philosophy. There is a Reconciliation of this apparently contradictory state of affairs. Be patient, we will reach it in time.</p>
<p>We see around us that which is called &#8220;Matter,&#8221; which forms the physical foundation for all forms. Is THE ALL merely Matter? Not at all! Matter cannot manifest Life or Mind, and as Life and Mind are manifested in the Universe, THE ALL cannot be Matter, for nothing rises higher than its own source&#8211;nothing is ever manifested in an effect that is not in the cause&#8211;nothing is evolved as a consequent that is not involved as an antecedent. And then Modern Science informs us that there is really no such thing as Matter&#8211;that what we call Matter is merely &#8220;interrupted energy or force,&#8221; that is, energy or force at a low rate of vibration. As a recent writer has said &#8220;Matter has melted into Mystery.&#8221; Even Material Science has abandoned the theory of Matter, and now rests on the basis of &#8220;Energy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then is THE ALL mere Energy or Force? Not Energy or Force as the materialists use the terms, for their energy and force are blind, mechanical things, devoid of Life or Mind. Life and Mind can never evolve from blind Energy or Force, for the reason given a moment ago: &#8220;Nothing can rise higher than its source&#8211;nothing is evolved unless it is involved&#8211;nothing manifests in the effect, unless it is in the cause. &#8221; And so THE ALL cannot be mere Energy or Force, for, if it were, then there would be no such things as Life and Mind in existence, and we know better than that, for we are Alive and using Mind to consider this very question, and so are those who claim that Energy or Force is Everything.</p>
<p>What is there then higher than Matter or Energy that we know to be existent in the Universe? LIFE AND MIND! Life and Mind in all their varying degrees of unfoldment! &#8220;Then,&#8221; you ask, &#8220;do you mean to tell us that THE ALL is LIFE and MIND?&#8221; Yes! and No! is our answer. If you mean Life and Mind as we poor petty mortals know them, we say No! THE ALL is not that! &#8220;But what kind of Life and Mind do you mean?&#8221; you ask.</p>
<p>The answer is &#8220;LIVING MIND,&#8221; as far above that which mortals know by those words, as Life and Mind are higher than mechanical forces, or matter&#8211;INFINITE LIVING MIND as compared to finite &#8220;Life and Mind.&#8221; We mean that which the illumined souls mean when they reverently pronounce the word: &#8220;SPIRIT!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;THE ALL&#8221; is Infinite Living Mind&#8211;the Illumined call it SPIRIT!</p>
