Two stories for you to consider and perhaps cherish.

First, the parable re: “Heaven and Hell”.

Second, "Return of the Great Mother".

[Forwarded by a friend. Author is unknown]

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road.

It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'

'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.

'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked..
'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'

The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.

'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.

There was no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book....

'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'

'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.

'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked.

'This is Heaven,' he answered.

'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.

'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'

'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'

'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'

'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks
who would leave their best friends behind.'

Moral of the Story?

Some would say that the Spirit that matters
is mind over matter and heart over mind,
because all that matters in the end is
how much Spirit we bring that matters.

Others would say that it shows the value of
things we possess that possess us,
and that the most difficult thing in the world
is to remain non-attached to worldly things.

I might add that money is neither God nor Devil.
It’s just a form of energy that tends to
make us more of who we are…
whether greedy with the love of power
or loving with the power of love.

Perhaps you’ll get it as something different,
hopefully in the Spirit it represents.

Soooo. Now you see, sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding stuff to us without writing a word. Maybe this will explain it.

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward emails.

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.

When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how.... you forward stuff.

A 'forward' lets you know that
you are still remembered,
you are still important,
you are still loved,
you are still cared for.

So, next time that you get a 'forward', consider there are friends that think of you with good intentions that would inspire you with a heartfelt smileJ.

to those you love in part or whole
for love heals all in part or whole.

“All dreams and ideas arise from a primal source often described as the
Great Mother or ocean of possibilities, and it is here that our
creations will return eventually to fulfill their destiny.”

~ Christine Page, M.D.,
Author of 2012 and the Galactic Center
- THE RETURN OF THE GREAT MOTHER

"Millions of people are beginning to listen to their own inherent guidance...
Through inner knowing or intuition, they are reconnecting to the pulse of
the Great Mother's heart and remembering that their destiny in this life
is to seed the consciousness of the new world."

“During the decades to come, there will be a great need for all who
consciously hear the call to encourage others to remember their
inherent destiny and hence birth a world that encompasses the
principles of cooperation and unity.”
~ THE RETURN OF THE GREAT MOTHER

Necessity is the mother of invention and
heaven knows that now is the time for
re-inventing your Self in the image and
likeness of divine LOVE as the holistic
(whole-holy) Spirit of G.O.D.~

The Net reality of our new global instant-everywhere and interactive Internet connection
is raising the standard for a systemic rEVOLUTION in higher consciousness with
the first principle of Common Sense that sparked the American Revolution
and is now framing our better nature as the currency of conscience.
Universal love of the Constitution is at heart the Net freedom
that global Netizens conceive, believe and achieve as
FIVE CORE FREEDOMS FOR NET REALITY.
The compelling promise of this Net reality
is the means to involve and evolve
our individual and collective
vision of virtues with a
CONSCIENCE;

“The Earth and its inhabitants are presently engaged in a powerful
time of transformation when the old is giving way to the new…”

According to Dr. Christine Page, the great ancient mathematicians (the Pythagoreans),
pure geometric forms comprising the Platonic solids defined the four basic elements
(fire, air, water and earth), and the fifth element called “either” (the quantum field)
represents a unified field of consciousness… like the “capstone Conscience”
(unified field) that integrates the four sides of the pyramid of Self and Civilization.
These five elements represent the five archetypal dimensions of consciousness,
and the higher one's concept of these coordinates as an integrated (holy) whole,
the greater the upwising result for uprising via evolutionary ascent of Conscience.

“In essence, the fifth world of ether presents us with the possibility of a peace
upon this planet that truly passes all our present-day understanding.”

The Maya knew that planetary cycles were embedded in vast cosmic cycles, and these kept repeating
endlessly to infinity. One Mayan 26,000 "tun" (cycle) corresponds to the precession of the equinoxes
(25,625 solar years). This cycle is divided into 5 x's 5200 tun (5125 solar years). Another "tun" (cycle)
is 360 days, a reflection of earth's rotation before the cataclysm (flood) of 11,500-12,000 years ago
that disrupted our solar system. The Fifth Sun corresponds to completion of one full zodiac cycle.
Astrologers say we are now entering Aquarius -- see "Galactic Shift" -- and leaving the Age of Pisces.

An now you know the rest of the story: Aquarius, the Water Bearer, brings peace and harmony to earth.

In the Maya Fifth Sun, an age of expanded consciousness, a new human emerges able to live in
harmony with the earth, the environment, all creatures, and the greater cosmic order.

~ Dr. Christine Page from: "Portents for 2010"

           "While studying the perception of reality, I learned that the Earth, similar to every
         human being, possesses an aura consisting of subtle energy bodies or grids
            of vibratory energy. Each grid is shaped like one of the Platonic solids and fits
             neatly inside another grid, kept alive by different frequencies of consciousness
       including our thoughts, feeling and insights. As any one grid receives more
attention and hence power from our collective consciousness, it emits a
   holographic image, which we then consider to be reality. Hence, when the
            majority of the population expresses joy, we create and see the world as joyful.
                     When fear is the primary emotion, the world becomes a place of secrets and anxiety
         exacerbated by our survival responses. Over time we have come to forget the
         illusory nature of the holographic images held in place by our own conscious
expression and the belief that our world is solid and outside our control.
Yet in essence, these collections of vibratory energy are capable of
transformation as quickly as it takes for us to change our minds!
~ from: THE RETURN OF THE GREAT MOTHER

As the veil thins at an accelerated rate on the 2010-2011 timeline,
the quantum holographic field "grid" of our collective Conscience
is awakening with our remembering of those universal principles
of compassion, harmony and interrelatedness -- our connection
with Mother Earth embracing the energies of the Great Mother.

Realize that throughout history, there have been shaman, mystics,
alchemists, magi and oracles who have entered the cosmic portal
to the womb of the Great Mother, the bulge in the Milky Way Galaxy
where the Great Central Sun centers the energy of the Great Mother.
In some civilizations like the early Mayan, the shaman priests were
held in the highest regard as their co-Creation with the divine gave
birth to the most sophisticated time-keeping system known to man.

Preview of the Conscience Convergence this summer,
preparing for the 5th Sun of the Mayan calendar system:

"Either, the element of the fifth sun, is celestial and lacks material substance,
yet it is no less real than wood, wind, flame, stone or flesh.
Within the context of either there can be a fusion of polarities
without the need for separation into darkness and light,
negative and positive, good and bad or even spirit and matter.
All are accepted as just another expression of the same essence,
lovingly created in the presence of the Great Mother.”

When you arrive at the all-seeing eye of harmonious calm
at the eye of the hurricane of accelerated change with
the thinning of the veil on the 2010-2011 timeline…
you’ll then realize that pleasure/pain, loss/gain,
fame and shame are all the same – the fusion
of polarities expressing the same essence
lovingly created in the presence of the
Great Mother of All Co-Creation
for our experience on the path
of life learning with lessons
fulfilling divine destiny
in the kind likeness
of one universal
omnipresent
