According to Michael Yeadon , Ph.D. , a former vice-president and chief scientific adviser of the drug company Pfizer , very few people will need the COVID-19 vaccine as the mortality rate is so low and the illness is clearly not causing excess deaths Virtually no one who is asymptomatic has the live virus , but when you run the test at a cycle threshold over 30 , meaning you amplify the viral RNA more than 30 times , you end up with a positive test even if the virus is inactive and noninfectious The PCR test is not a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done on the scale we ’ re now doing it .
The high rate of false positives is only foddering for needless fearmongering Data show many deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65 , with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly due to heart disease , stroke , and cancer , which suggests they are excess deaths caused by lack of routine medical care due to the pandemic restrictions I 've written several articles about scientists and medical doctors who question the official narrative about the COVID-19 pandemic and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , from useless testing , mask-wearing , and social distancing , to lockdowns , tracking and tracing and the baseless fearmongering driving it all .
In the video above , British journalist Anna Brees interviews Michael Yeadon , Ph.D. , a former vice-president and chief scientific adviser of the drug company Pfizer and founder and CEO of the biotech company Ziarco , now owned by Novartis .
In it , he discusses several concerns , including his belief that widespread PCR testing is creating the false idea that the pandemic is resurging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ completely normal .
He also discusses his concerns about COVID-19 vaccine mandates .
As I explained in “ Asymptomatic ‘ Casedemic ' Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear , ” by using PCR testing , which can not diagnose active infection , a false narrative has been created .
Currently , rising “ cases , ” meaning positive tests , is again being used as the justification to impose more severe restrictions , including lockdowns and mandatory mask-wearing , when in fact positive tests have nothing to do with the actual spread of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.K. has now tested an estimated 30 million people or close to half of the population .
“ A large number of those tests have been recent , ” Yeadon says , noting that the definition of a “ coronavirus death ” in the U.K. is anyone who dies , from any cause , within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test .
So , what we 're seeing now is a natural death rate — about 1,700 people die each day in the U.K. in any given year , Yeadon says — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ falsely attributed to COVID-19 .
“ I 'm calling out the statistics , and even the claim that there is an ongoing pandemic , as false , ” he says .
He challenges anyone who does n't believe him to seek out any database on total mortality .
If you do that , you will find that the daily death count is “ absolutely bang-on normal , ” Yeadon says .
For some months , the death count is actually slightly lower than the average norm over the past five years .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have a lethal pandemic stalking the land and not have excess deaths.
” Lack of Routine Medical Care Is Causing Uptick in Deaths The slight uptick in deaths that are now being reported simply are n't directly due to COVID-19 , he insists .
Data show these deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65 , with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly from heart disease , stroke , and cancer , which suggests they are excess deaths caused by the inaccessibility of routine medical care as people are either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital .
These deaths may be characterized as being COVID related , but that 's only because they have been falsely lumped into that category due to false positives being recorded within 28 days of death .
Again , people are being tested very regularly , and the rate of false positives is extremely high .
All hospital patients are also tested upon admission , so when they die — regardless of the cause — they 're likely to have a false positive on their record , which then lumps them into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Get Reinfected ?
Yeadon also says he 's “ sick and tired ” of people claiming that immunity against SARS-CoV-2 may wane after a short time , leaving you vulnerable to reinfection .
If you 've been ill with COVID-19 and recover , you will have antibodies against the virus , and you will be immune , he says .
He understands that journalists may get this wrong , or maybe given incorrect information , but if a scientist says this , “ they are lying to you , ” he says .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ can recover from COVID-19 and later get reinfected and experience severe illness again .
According to Yeadon , there are only two ways by which COVID-19 would not provide lasting immunity .
The first would be if it destroys your immune system .
The HIV virus , for example , which causes AIDS , disarms your immune system , causing permanent impairment .
Hence you do not become immune to the HIV virus .
Coronaviruses do not do that .
The second way is if the virus mutates , which is common among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , your immune system may not fully recognize it and will have to mount a defense again , thereby creating another set of antibodies .
However , coronaviruses are genetically stable , Yeadon says .
As noted by Yeadon , people are now changing the laws of immunology , which simply should n't happen .
This should not be a political issue , but somehow it is being treated like one .
He claims to have no ideas at all as to why these false narratives are being created , and why scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being censored .
Others , however , have become more outspoken about this issue , pointing out how the pandemic is being used as a convenient excuse and justification for redistribution of wealth and the technocratic takeover of the whole world under the banner of a Great Reset to a “ more equitable ” social order and greener commerce .
It 's being used to usher in social changes that simply could never be introduced without some sort of calamity , be it war or a biological threat because they involve a radical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of privacy .
Those in charge of pandemic response measures also refuse to take into account the price of these measures .
When making public health decisions , you need to calculate the cost in terms of lives saved and the price in dollars and cents of saving those people , against the cost of not implementing the measure in question .
This is not being done .
The question is why is such an illogical stance being taken ?
Toward the end of the interview , Yeadon addresses the issue of COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becoming mandatory , and rightfully so .
Vaccine passports are already being rolled out , and all the indicators point to vaccination becoming a requirement for travel , perhaps even within national borders .
Having spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry , Yeadon fully supports vaccination , believing they prevent large numbers of deaths .
However , when it comes to SARS-CoV-2 , he believes the vaccine will only benefit the elderly .
For those over 80 , a vaccine might give them a few more months of life .
“ Nobody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” he says .
“ You do n't vaccinate a population because 1 in 1 million might have a bad outcome [ from the infection ] .
” He also strongly believes the vaccine must be voluntary : In an open letter to the British health minister , Yeadon wrote:2 What Can You Do ?
In his interview with Brees , Yeadon suggests medical professionals , especially those who are members of a professional society , who disagree with further pandemic measures — based on the medical facts — write an open letter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speak to and heed the recommendations from independent experts .
Arm yourself with mortality statistics and the facts on PCR testing , so you can explain how and why this pandemic simply is n't a pandemic anymore .
First and foremost , there are no excess deaths .
The same number of people have died this year that , on average , have died in previous years .
This simply would n't be the case if we had a lethal pandemic .
Second , the PCR test is not a valid diagnostic tool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scale we 're now doing it .
The high rate of false positives is only foddering for needless fearmongering .
“ People should demand to know what [ the false positive ] rate is , ” Yeadon says .
Additionally , “ testing people who are well — it 's just a madcap thing , ” he says .
Virtually no one who is asymptomatic has the live virus , but when you run the test at a cycle threshold over 30 , meaning you amplify the viral RNA more than 30 times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ test even if the virus is inactive and noninfectious .
It 's easy to get so confused that you can no longer think straight these days .
As explained by Dr. Peter Breggin , featured in “ Psychiatrist Blows the Whistle on Pandemic Fearmongering , ” when you add uncertainty to fear you end up with anxiety , a state in which you can no longer think logically .
If this applies to you , I urge you to turn off mainstream media news and turn to independent experts , such as Yeadon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science .
Reorient yourself to the facts and turn off the propaganda .
Next , join a group so that you can have support .
A number of groups have formed around the world that are now rising up against mask mandates , mandatory vaccinations , and lockdowns .
A few examples of such groups include : • Us for Them , a group campaigning for reopening schools and protecting children 's rights in the U.K. • The COVID Recovery Group ( CRG ) , founded by 50 conservative British MPs to fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a team of attorneys , doctors , business owners , and parents started the Freedom to Breathe Agency , which is fighting to protect freedom and liberty Additional sources of information and groups fighting for truth and transparency that are worth checking out include : • The Great Barrington Declaration , which calls for an end to lockdowns .

The PCR test is not a valid diagnostic tool and should not be done on the scale we’re now doing it. The high rate of false positives is only foddering for needless fearmongering
Data show many deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65, with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly due to heart disease, stroke, and cancer, which suggests they are excess deaths caused by lack of routine medical care due to the pandemic restrictions
I've written several articles about scientists and medical doctors who question the official narrative about the COVID-19 pandemic and the global measures put into place because of it, from useless testing, mask-wearing, and social distancing, to lockdowns, tracking and tracing and the baseless fearmongering driving it all.
In the video above, British journalist Anna Brees interviews Michael Yeadon, Ph.D., a former vice-president and chief scientific adviser of the drug company Pfizer and founder and CEO of the biotech company Ziarco, now owned by Novartis.
In it, he discusses several concerns, including his belief that widespread PCR testing is creating the false idea that the pandemic is resurging, as the total mortality rate is completely normal. He also discusses his concerns about COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
PCR Testing Is Causing a False ‘Casedemic'
As I explained in “Asymptomatic ‘Casedemic' Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear,” by using PCR testing, which cannot diagnose active infection, a false narrative has been created.
Currently, rising “cases,” meaning positive tests, is again being used as the justification to impose more severe restrictions, including lockdowns and mandatory mask-wearing, when in fact positive tests have nothing to do with the actual spread of illness.
According to Yeadon, the U.K. has now tested an estimated 30 million people or close to half of the population. “A large number of those tests have been recent,” Yeadon says, noting that the definition of a “coronavirus death” in the U.K. is anyone who dies, from any cause, within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test.
You cannot have a lethal pandemic stalking the land and not have excess deaths. ~ Michael Yeadon, Ph.D.
So, what we're seeing now is a natural death rate — about 1,700 people die each day in the U.K. in any given year, Yeadon says — but many of these deaths are now falsely attributed to COVID-19. “I'm calling out the statistics, and even the claim that there is an ongoing pandemic, as false,” he says.
He challenges anyone who doesn't believe him to seek out any database on total mortality. If you do that, you will find that the daily death count is “absolutely bang-on normal,” Yeadon says.
For some months, the death count is actually slightly lower than the average norm over the past five years. And, he adds, “You cannot have a lethal pandemic stalking the land and not have excess deaths.”
Lack of Routine Medical Care Is Causing Uptick in Deaths
The slight uptick in deaths that are now being reported simply aren't directly due to COVID-19, he insists. Data show these deaths — primarily people aged 45 to 65, with equal distribution between the sexes — are mainly from heart disease, stroke, and cancer, which suggests they are excess deaths caused by the inaccessibility of routine medical care as people are either afraid or discouraged from going to the hospital.
These deaths may be characterized as being COVID related, but that's only because they have been falsely lumped into that category due to false positives being recorded within 28 days of death.
Again, people are being tested very regularly, and the rate of false positives is extremely high. All hospital patients are also tested upon admission, so when they die — regardless of the cause — they're likely to have a false positive on their record, which then lumps them into the death tally for COVID-19.
“The longer you stay in hospital, the more likely you are to die, obviously,” Yeadon says. “You would be released if you were well and improving. So … long-stay patients are both more likely to die statistically, and much more likely to be tested so often that they'll have a false positive test.
That is what I think is happening … It's a convenience for someone playing some macabre game, because I don't think it's an error anymore … I've spoken to people in [public health] and they're embarrassed that they're not even being allowed to characterize and publish the information you would need to know to work out how useful the test is. That's not being done.”
Can You Get Reinfected?
Yeadon also says he's “sick and tired” of people claiming that immunity against SARS-CoV-2 may wane after a short time, leaving you vulnerable to reinfection. If you've been ill with COVID-19 and recover, you will have antibodies against the virus, and you will be immune, he says.
He understands that journalists may get this wrong, or maybe given incorrect information, but if a scientist says this, “they are lying to you,” he says. Yeadon categorically denies the premise that you can recover from COVID-19 and later get reinfected and experience severe illness again.
According to Yeadon, there are only two ways by which COVID-19 would not provide lasting immunity. The first would be if it destroys your immune system. The HIV virus, for example, which causes AIDS, disarms your immune system, causing permanent impairment. Hence you do not become immune to the HIV virus. Coronaviruses do not do that.
The second way is if the virus mutates, which is common among influenza viruses. If the virus mutates, your immune system may not fully recognize it and will have to mount a defense again, thereby creating another set of antibodies. However, coronaviruses are genetically stable, Yeadon says.
(For transparency, there have been reports of SARS-CoV-2 mutating,1 so it's not impossible that some people might get reinfected with a slightly mutated version of the virus that might make them sick again.)
Hidden Agenda in Plain Sight
As noted by Yeadon, people are now changing the laws of immunology, which simply shouldn't happen. This should not be a political issue, but somehow it is being treated like one. He claims to have no ideas at all as to why these false narratives are being created, and why scientific truth that contradicts the mainstream narrative is being censored.
Others, however, have become more outspoken about this issue, pointing out how the pandemic is being used as a convenient excuse and justification for redistribution of wealth and the technocratic takeover of the whole world under the banner of a Great Reset to a “more equitable” social order and greener commerce.
It's being used to usher in social changes that simply could never be introduced without some sort of calamity, be it war or a biological threat because they involve a radical limitation of personal freedoms and the elimination of privacy. Those in charge of pandemic response measures also refuse to take into account the price of these measures.
When making public health decisions, you need to calculate the cost in terms of lives saved and the price in dollars and cents of saving those people, against the cost of not implementing the measure in question. This is not being done. The question is why is such an illogical stance being taken?
Yeadon on Vaccination
Toward the end of the interview, Yeadon addresses the issue of COVID-19 vaccination. Many are nervous about it becoming mandatory, and rightfully so. Vaccine passports are already being rolled out, and all the indicators point to vaccination becoming a requirement for travel, perhaps even within national borders.
Having spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry, Yeadon fully supports vaccination, believing they prevent large numbers of deaths. However, when it comes to SARS-CoV-2, he believes the vaccine will only benefit the elderly. For those over 80, a vaccine might give them a few more months of life.
“Nobody else needs this [vaccine],” he says. “You don't vaccinate a population because 1 in 1 million might have a bad outcome [from the infection].” He also strongly believes the vaccine must be voluntary:
“It's an appalling … public platform to suggest that the only way we get our lives back is to mass vaccinate the population. Something very smelly is going on. It's simply not appropriate. I don't even think it would work.”
In an open letter to the British health minister, Yeadon wrote:2
“I have read the consultation document. I've rarely been as shocked and upset. All vaccines against the SARS-COV-2 virus are by definition novel. No candidate vaccine has been in development for more than a few months. If any such vaccine is approved for use under any circumstances that are not EXPLICITLY experimental, I believe that recipients are being misled to a criminal extent.
This is because there are precisely zero human volunteers for whom there could possibly be more than a few months past-dose safety information. My concern does not arise because I have negative views about vaccines (I don't).
Instead, it's the very principle that politicians seem ready to waive that new medical interventions at this, incomplete state of development, should not be made available to subjects on anything other than an explicitly experimental basis. That's my concern.
And the reason for that concern is that it is not known what the safety profile will be, six months or a year or longer after dosing. You have literally no data on this and neither does anyone else.
It isn't that I'm saying that unacceptable adverse effects will emerge after longer intervals after dosing. No: it is that you have no idea what will happen yet, despite this, you'll be creating the impression that you do …
I don't trust you. You've not been straightforward and have behaved appallingly throughout this crisis. You're still doing it now, misleading about infection risk from young children. Why should I believe you in relation to experimental vaccines?”
What Can You Do?
In his interview with Brees, Yeadon suggests medical professionals, especially those who are members of a professional society, who disagree with further pandemic measures — based on the medical facts — write an open letter to the government, urging them to speak to and heed the recommendations from independent experts.
Arm yourself with mortality statistics and the facts on PCR testing, so you can explain how and why this pandemic simply isn't a pandemic anymore. First and foremost, there are no excess deaths. The same number of people have died this year that, on average, have died in previous years. This simply wouldn't be the case if we had a lethal pandemic.
Second, the PCR test is not a valid diagnostic tool and should not be done on the scale we're now doing it. The high rate of false positives is only foddering for needless fearmongering. “People should demand to know what [the false positive] rate is,” Yeadon says.
Additionally, “testing people who are well — it's just a madcap thing,” he says. Virtually no one who is asymptomatic has the live virus, but when you run the test at a cycle threshold over 30, meaning you amplify the viral RNA more than 30 times, you end up with a positive test even if the virus is inactive and noninfectious.
“Let's get back to the facts,” Yeadon says. “There are no excess deaths. But that's not what you hear from the BBC now, is it? I'm never going to trust the BBC again, by the way. I've watched BBC for 41 years. [They're] never coming back into my ears, because they've lied in my face all year … There's a fraud going on …
You're walking into voluntary house arrest when there are no excess deaths. Why are you doing that? Seriously? … I'm fearful, because it doesn't make any sense and there are no benign outcomes.”
Get Organized
It's easy to get so confused that you can no longer think straight these days. As explained by Dr. Peter Breggin, featured in “Psychiatrist Blows the Whistle on Pandemic Fearmongering,” when you add uncertainty to fear you end up with anxiety, a state in which you can no longer think logically.
If this applies to you, I urge you to turn off mainstream media news and turn to independent experts, such as Yeadon. Do the research. Read through science. Reorient yourself to the facts and turn off the propaganda. Next, join a group so that you can have support.
A number of groups have formed around the world that are now rising up against mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations, and lockdowns. A few examples of such groups include:
Us for Them, a group campaigning for reopening schools and protecting children's rights in the U.K.
Keep Britain Free

Their helpful guide to symptoms and actionable steps to take for COVID-19 safety is the most reliable source out there and has up to date info about the spread of coronavirus in the United States.
CPR and Emergency Care
It's always best to be prepared for any emergency, even while you're staying healthy to avoid a heart attack or a stroke. An emergency can happen at any moment, which is why having CPR training is crucial for anyone. These days, however, with all the lockdowns, it can be hard to find a CPR course you can take to get CPR certified. The good news is that there are actually CPR courses you can take to get CPR certification online. Online CPR classes are just as legitimate and will prepare you for just as many emergency circumstances as an in-person CPR course, and with your CPR certificate, you will literally be able to save lives.
Medical Malpractice or Negligence
Find yourself an attorney you can trust with your most intimate situations, one who understands the importance of a healthy attorney-client relationship, maybe even an attorney who offers a free consultation. There are lawyers who specialize in medical malpractice cases, and they can provide legal advice and even take your medical malpractice claim to court. Laws are different everywhere, so you'll want to find a local attorney who understands the ins and outs, like the local statute of limitations and other legal details. For example, if you're in New Mexico, say in Albuquerque, you should search online for New Mexico medical malpractice attorneys to find local attorneys who understand New Mexico's laws as they pertain to medical malpractice claims.
You should, of course, do everything you can to keep yourself healthy and be prepared for any emergency or circumstance. That being said, if your medical provider has wronged you, get the legal advice you need to be compensated fairly for your injury.


consciouslifenews--2020-11-27--What is Kundalini Awakening? (19 Intense Symptoms)

Sooner or later on the spiritual awakening journey , we all taste the mysterious and intense … It might be smooth and subtle , or intense and explosive , but whatever the case , kundalini is a primal force of awakening .
In fact , sometimes people can experience full-blown kundalini awakenings spontaneously without prior experience ( or interest ) in spiritual growth or transformation .
If you ’ re curious to discover whether you ’ re going through kundalini awakening something else entirely , keep reading .
• How to Handle a Kundalini Awakening • 1 .
Be gentle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nervous system • Kundalini Awakening FAQ • Have you had a kundalini awakening experience ?
What was it like ?
I ’ d be fascinated to hear below .
Put simply , a kundalini awakening is a form of energetic awakening that causes us to transform on the mental , emotional , and spiritual levels .
Kundalini itself is a Sanskrit word that means “ she who is coiled ” – it refers to primordial life force energy contained at the base of the spine that is often depicted as a snake .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ travels up the various energy centers ( or chakras ) of the body and into your crown chakra where higher consciousness is triggered .
The result of this higher awareness is a greater understanding of one ’ s soul ( or True Nature ) , life purpose , and the nature of reality itself .
As divine feminine energy , kundalini usually lies dormant in the root chakra ( base of the spine ) .
However , there are a number of different situations where kundalini can be suddenly awoken spanning from trauma @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to years of targeted practice ( such as through tantra or kundalini yoga ) .
Below , I ’ ve divided kundalini awakening symptoms into two groups : “ light ” and “ dark ” signs .
Please note that kundalini energy is neither good nor bad , it ’ s a primordial force that simply lives within us .
However , to the human mind , some of these experiences are pleasant and others are extremely unpleasant : • You feel a spiritual connection with the Divine that transcends the ego • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ love • You experience periods of Oneness where your compassion for humanity increases • You ’ re inspired to make big , life-altering decisions and authentic changes in your life • You have profound insights into your behavior and past experiences • Your empathic abilities strengthen and you can feel everything at a profound level • You begin to understand the nature of the mind and how it influences reality • You keep receiving big , cosmic “ downloads ” of information ( soul communication ) • You experience intense , involuntary shaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Your nervous system becomes hypersensitive to external stressors ( bright light , TV violence , loud noises ) and shuts down or craves total solitude • You experience sudden and shocking moments of ego death • You have visual disturbances that can feel alarming ( e.g.
, objects seeming to vibrate ) • You experience intense heat , vibrations , or electricity surge through your body • It feels like you ’ re having a bad drug trip while sober • You struggle to distinguish what is real from imagined ( psychosis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going crazy The above kundalini awakening signs are fairly common .
However , as someone who has experienced the energy of kundalini move through the move , I can say that it doesn ’ t happen in the exact same way for everyone .
One of the most recent experiences I ’ ve had , for instance , was preceded by two weeks of low scale feelings of ‘ impending doom , ’ followed by the kundalini energy gently moving from my head and down through my body into my stomach .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breath of wind , and when it reached my stomach , it felt like it was ‘ working ’ on something there .
Then it melted away and vanished .
Here are some other , and perhaps less common , kundalini awakening symptoms : • Feeling shattered ( fragmented ) or like you have no center • Dreaming of snakes or seeing snakes everywhere ( this is an alert from your subconscious mind ) • Manic and exuberant energy or the opposite , chronic fatigue ( sometimes alternating ) • Seeing lights or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Tapping into your past life experiences ( or other people ’ s ) • Entering spontaneous yoga poses ( known as ) , ( hand poses ) , or ( yogic breathing ) • Feeling intense grief for the planet and all suffering beings • Out of body experiences where you ( may/may not ) connect with your Higher Self • Developing strange , undiagnosable physical symptoms that may manifest as autoimmune conditions , digestive issues , nausea , etc .
Have you experienced anything that has been mentioned above ?
Feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments .
This might help others who have undergone similar experiences to not feel alone .
This is a fair question , especially considering some of the symptoms mentioned above .
To answer the question , yes and no .
Kundalini energy isn ’ t innately dangerous or bad .
It ’ s our that limit the flow of kundalini that make it a painful , scary , and sometimes dangerous experience .
In Georg Feuerstein ’ s book Tantra : Path of Ecstasy , he explores why kundalini can go haywire : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d ?
system , raising the serpent power ( kundalini ?
-shakti ) along the axial pathway is not only impossible but also very dangerous to attempt , for instead of entering the central channel ( sushumn ?
-n ?
d ? )
it is likely to force itself into the id ?
- or the pingal ?
-n ?
d ?
, on either side of the central channel , causing immense havoc in the body and mind .
In other words , when kundalini is prematurely stimulated or aroused in an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preparation and clearing of our energetic body ) , the results can be disastrous .
Thankfully , the experience doesn ’ t last forever , and we ’ ll explore what to do if you ’ re experiencing the ‘ dark side ’ of kundalini awakening a little later .
But to further illustrate , Feuerstein goes on to quote the experience of the yogi and mystic Gopi Krishna during his spontaneous kundalini experience .
He writes : There were dreadful disturbances in all the organs , each so alarming and painful that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my self-possession under the onslaught .
The whole delicate organism was burning , withering away completely under the fiery blast racing through its interior .
I knew I was dying and that my heart could not stand the tremendous strain for long .
My throat was scorched and every part of my body flaming and burning , but I could do nothing to alleviate the dreadful suffering .
If a well or river had been near I would have jumped into its cold depths , preferring death to what I was undergoing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ brain for a way of escape , only to meet blank despair on every side .
The effort exhausted me and I felt myself sinking , dully conscious of the scalding sea of pain in which I was drowning .
I ’ ll stop there because I know that this might be alarming to you ( or alternatively , affirming , helping you to see that you ’ re not alone if you ’ ve experienced this ) .
If you ’ re seeking to awaken it , be sure you know what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trustworthy guidance .
This is not something to be trifled with .
While the two sound the same , they ’ re slightly different in nature .
The spiritual awakening process ( or ‘ spiritual ascension ‘ ) tends to be .
Kundalini awakening , on the other hand , is : it ’ s a surge of energy that may be either gentle and gradual , or sudden and intense .
While kundalini awakening usually comes further down the road someone has experienced a spiritual awakening , it doesn ’ t always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arise suddenly in response to psychedelic drug experiences , sexual encounters , or even traumatic situations .
Another distinguishing factor is that kundalini energy is felt very whereas the spiritual awakening is usually more oriented .
So while intense vibrations and heat may be felt in the body during kundalini awakening , during spiritual awakening there is more of a soulful quality of deep questioning , insight , and transfiguration ( some refer to this as spiritual alchemy ) .
Can someone experience both spiritual awakening and kundalini awakening at the same time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s for this reason that both tend to lead to experiences of the Dark Night of the Soul ( or the inevitable after-effect of having felt like one has ‘ lost touch ’ with the Divine ) .
Ultimately , they are two sides of the same coin .
The kundalini shakti bestows liberation on yogins and bondage on the ignorant .
Kundalini awakening is a life-changing mystical experience that can feel magical , ecstatic , and profound .
And it is .
But there are also many hidden traps we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the other end .
Some of these traps involve : • Spiritual superiority – seeing yourself as “ more awake ” than others and looking down on those who are not as advanced or still “ asleep ” ( also known as the spiritual ego ) • Savior complex – adopting a disproportionate sense of self-grandiosity and specialness , believing that you ’ re sent to “ save the world ” ( e.g.
, for those who have undergone kundalini psychosis , this can even mean believing they ’ re Jesus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Grasping and attachment – desperately trying to hold onto the blissful experiences of the kundalini awakening and being miserable ( even entering crisis mode ) when it ’ s inevitably lost ( this can result in spiritual materialism ) • Spiritual nihilism – taking universal truths and misapplying them to a human level , e.g.
, “ all is an illusion , ” “ nothing ultimately matters ” which breeds a sense of dissociation , emptiness , and cynicism • Avoidance – avoiding or spiritually bypassing everyday responsibilities and focusing only on “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essentially a way for the ego to avoid growing up and integrating the experience at a human level ) If your kundalini has awoken and you ’ re feeling overwhelmed , here ’ s some guidance : 1 .
Be gentle with yourself and take care of your nervous system Likely , your nervous system is going into overdrive if you ’ re having a painful kundalini experience .
Some ways to calm your nerves can include : • Taking a warm bath with essential oils like lavender ( you can also try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bath doesn ’ t sound like your cup of tea , try a cold shower .
Be mindful and notice how your body and mind respond to the temperature of the water .
• Find something/someone that brings you a feeling of safety .
This might be cuddling your dog or cat , asking your partner or friend to hold you , finding a cozy nook in nature , or relaxing in a corner of your house that brings you comfort .
• Try slow guided breathing using an app like Calm or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your body responds .
At the first sign of discomfort stop immediately . )
Yes , your spiritual practice might be the effects of your kundalini awakening .
So stop .
Let yourself rest .
If you crave a replacement practice , try mindfulness as it helps to ground you in the present moment .
Read my article on the spiritual emergency for more helpful ideas .

If you feel worse or if you get weird vibes about someone , you don ’ t owe them any explanation .
Leave .
Find someone else .
You have the right to get the guidance you need .
Here are some other questions you might have about this powerful experience on the spiritual journey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Usually , there is a period of long integration after the kundalini awakening experience .
In other words , it takes a while for the mind , heart , and soul of a person to fully comprehend what they ’ ve been through and translate that into daily life .
For some ( extremely ) rare people , kundalini awakening results in liberation from the separate self and the realization of non-dual awareness ( also known as ‘ enlightenment ’ ) .
How to have a kundalini awakening ?
There are many methods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy .
Most involve either Tantric and/or Yogic practice .
Visualization , plant medicines ( like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca ) , certain breathwork techniques , belly dancing , and meditations also help to awaken kundalini energy .

Kundalini energy is powerful and not to be messed around with .
How long does kundalini awakening take ?
The answer is that it varies for everyone .
Some people experience the awakening of kundalini early on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some it actually the spiritual search ) .
For others , kundalini awakens after many years of spiritual practice .
There is no set in stone rule here : it depends on your unique energetic blockages , destiny , soul , and many other factors .

It is an accelerated path to God-Realization , and can create many extraordinary experiences and realizations .
Kundalini awakening can happen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on our spiritual awakening journeys .

What is a Kundalini Awakening?
Put simply, a kundalini awakening is a form of energetic awakening that causes us to transform on the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Kundalini itself is a Sanskrit word that means “she who is coiled” – it refers to primordial life force energy contained at the base of the spine that is often depicted as a snake. This serpentine energy, once awoken, travels up the various energy centers (or chakras) of the body and into your crown chakra where higher consciousness is triggered. The result of this higher awareness is a greater understanding of one’s soul (or True Nature), life purpose, and the nature of reality itself.
19 Symptoms of the Kundalini Awakening
As divine feminine energy, kundalini usually lies dormant in the root chakra (base of the spine). However, there are a number of different situations where kundalini can be suddenly awoken spanning from trauma to drug use, all the way to years of targeted practice (such as through tantra or kundalini yoga).
Below, I’ve divided kundalini awakening symptoms into two groups: “light” and “dark” signs. Please note that kundalini energy is neither good nor bad, it’s a primordial force that simply lives within us. However, to the human mind, some of these experiences are pleasant and others are extremely unpleasant:
‘Light’ Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
You feel a spiritual connection with the Divine that transcends the ego You are bathed in bliss and boundless love You experience periods of Oneness where your compassion for humanity increases You tap into extrasensory abilities (ESP) and/or develop extraordinary gifts Pleasurable sensations pulsate through your body You’re inspired to make big, life-altering decisions and authentic changes in your life Synchronicity (i.e., meaningful or miraculous coincidences) increases tremendously You have profound insights into your behavior and past experiences Your empathic abilities strengthen and you can feel everything at a profound level You begin to understand the nature of the mind and how it influences reality You keep receiving big, cosmic “downloads” of information (soul communication)
‘Dark’ Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
You experience intense, involuntary shaking of the body that can be alarming Your nervous system becomes hypersensitive to external stressors (bright light, TV violence, loud noises) and shuts down or craves total solitude You struggle to sleep properly You experience sudden and shocking moments of ego death You have visual disturbances that can feel alarming (e.g., objects seeming to vibrate) You experience intense heat, vibrations, or electricity surge through your body It feels like you’re having a bad drug trip while sober You struggle to distinguish what is real from imagined (psychosis) and feel like you’re going crazy
Other Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
The above kundalini awakening signs are fairly common. However, as someone who has experienced the energy of kundalini move through the move, I can say that it doesn’t happen in the exact same way for everyone.
One of the most recent experiences I’ve had, for instance, was preceded by two weeks of low scale feelings of ‘impending doom,’ followed by the kundalini energy gently moving from my head and down through my body into my stomach. The energy felt gentle, like a soft breath of wind, and when it reached my stomach, it felt like it was ‘working’ on something there. Then it melted away and vanished.
Here are some other, and perhaps less common, kundalini awakening symptoms:
Feeling shattered (fragmented) or like you have no center
Dreaming of snakes or seeing snakes everywhere (this is an alert from your subconscious mind)
Feeling raw and extremely vulnerable, like a newborn child
Manic and exuberant energy or the opposite, chronic fatigue (sometimes alternating)
Frequent lucid dreams or vivid dreams
Seeing lights or hearing music that isn’t there
Tapping into your past life experiences (or other people’s)
Entering spontaneous yoga poses (known as kriyas), mudras (hand poses), or pranayama (yogic breathing)
Developing a Savior Complex or feelings of grandiosity
Feeling intense grief for the planet and all suffering beings
Out of body experiences where you (may/may not) connect with your Higher Self
Visual and hearing changes
Panic attacks and feelings of terror
Strange food cravings or aversions
Spontaneous orgasms
Developing strange, undiagnosable physical symptoms that may manifest as autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, nausea, etc.
Have you experienced anything that has been mentioned above? Feel free to share your experience in the comments. This might help others who have undergone similar experiences to not feel alone.
Is Kundalini Awakening Dangerous?
This is a fair question, especially considering some of the symptoms mentioned above.
To answer the question, yes and no. Kundalini energy isn’t innately dangerous or bad. It’s our energy blockages that limit the flow of kundalini that make it a painful, scary, and sometimes dangerous experience.
In Georg Feuerstein’s book Tantra: Path of Ecstasy, he explores why kundalini can go haywire:
Without prior cleansing of the n?d? system, raising the serpent power (kundalini?-shakti) along the axial pathway is not only impossible but also very dangerous to attempt, for instead of entering the central channel (sushumn?-n?d?) it is likely to force itself into the id?- or the pingal?-n?d?, on either side of the central channel, causing immense havoc in the body and mind.
In other words, when kundalini is prematurely stimulated or aroused in an incorrect way (aka. through inadequate preparation and clearing of our energetic body), the results can be disastrous. Thankfully, the experience doesn’t last forever, and we’ll explore what to do if you’re experiencing the ‘dark side’ of kundalini awakening a little later.
But to further illustrate, Feuerstein goes on to quote the experience of the yogi and mystic Gopi Krishna during his spontaneous kundalini experience. He writes:
There were dreadful disturbances in all the organs, each so alarming and painful that I wonder how I managed to retain my self-possession under the onslaught. The whole delicate organism was burning, withering away completely under the fiery blast racing through its interior. I knew I was dying and that my heart could not stand the tremendous strain for long. My throat was scorched and every part of my body flaming and burning, but I could do nothing to alleviate the dreadful suffering. If a well or river had been near I would have jumped into its cold depths, preferring death to what I was undergoing. . . . I racked my distracted brain for a way of escape, only to meet blank despair on every side. The effort exhausted me and I felt myself sinking, dully conscious of the scalding sea of pain in which I was drowning.
I’ll stop there because I know that this might be alarming to you (or alternatively, affirming, helping you to see that you’re not alone if you’ve experienced this).
In short: kundalini is a mighty potent force.
If you’re seeking to awaken it, be sure you know what you’re doing and seek out trustworthy guidance. This is not something to be trifled with.
Spiritual Awakening vs. Kundalini Awakening – What’s the Difference?
While the two sound the same, they’re slightly different in nature.
The spiritual awakening process (or ‘spiritual ascension‘) tends to be emotional and psychological. Kundalini awakening, on the other hand, is energetic: it’s a surge of energy that may be either gentle and gradual, or sudden and intense.
While kundalini awakening usually comes further down the road after someone has experienced a spiritual awakening, it doesn’t always. As mentioned previously, kundalini can arise suddenly in response to psychedelic drug experiences, sexual encounters, or even traumatic situations.
Another distinguishing factor is that kundalini energy is felt very physically whereas the spiritual awakening is usually more mind and heart oriented. So while intense vibrations and heat may be felt in the body during kundalini awakening, during spiritual awakening there is more of a soulful quality of deep questioning, insight, and transfiguration (some refer to this as spiritual alchemy).
Can someone experience both spiritual awakening and kundalini awakening at the same time? Yes, absolutely. And it’s for this reason that both tend to lead to experiences of the Dark Night of the Soul (or the inevitable after-effect of having felt like one has ‘lost touch’ with the Divine). Ultimately, they are two sides of the same coin.
5 Hidden Traps of Kundalini Awakening

– Sv?tmar?ma (15th century yogi master)
Kundalini awakening is a life-changing mystical experience that can feel magical, ecstatic, and profound. And it is. But there are also many hidden traps we can fall into after we’ve emerged out of the other end.
Some of these traps involve:
Spiritual superiority – seeing yourself as “more awake” than others and looking down on those who are not as advanced or still “asleep” (also known as the spiritual ego) Savior complex – adopting a disproportionate sense of self-grandiosity and specialness, believing that you’re sent to “save the world” (e.g., for those who have undergone kundalini psychosis, this can even mean believing they’re Jesus Christ or the next Buddha) Grasping and attachment – desperately trying to hold onto the blissful experiences of the kundalini awakening and being miserable (even entering crisis mode) when it’s inevitably lost (this can result in spiritual materialism) Spiritual nihilism – taking universal truths and misapplying them to a human level, e.g., “all is an illusion,” “nothing ultimately matters” which breeds a sense of dissociation, emptiness, and cynicism Avoidance – avoiding or spiritually bypassing everyday responsibilities and focusing only on “higher spiritual matters” (this is essentially a way for the ego to avoid growing up and integrating the experience at a human level)

How to Handle a Kundalini Awakening
If your kundalini has awoken and you’re feeling overwhelmed, here’s some guidance:
1. Be gentle with yourself and take care of your nervous system
Likely, your nervous system is going into overdrive if you’re having a painful kundalini experience. Some ways to calm your nerves can include:
Taking a warm bath with essential oils like lavender (you can also try magnesium salts). If a warm bath doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, try a cold shower. Be mindful and notice how your body and mind respond to the temperature of the water.

using an app like Calm or InsightTimer. (Be mindful of how your body responds. At the first sign of discomfort stop immediately.) Ground yourself outdoors in nature.
Eat grounding foods (potatoes, root vegetables, organic meat)
2. Stop all spiritual practice temporarily
Yes, your spiritual practice might be amplifying the effects of your kundalini awakening. So stop. Let yourself rest. If you crave a replacement practice, try mindfulness as it helps to ground you in the present moment. Read my article on the spiritual emergency for more helpful ideas.
3. Seek out compassionate help
If you still struggle with the kundalini energy being too intense, I strongly recommend seeking out the guidance of a transpersonal or depth psychotherapist. The best guides are those who understand the importance of integrating the mind and spirit (or spiritual psychology). There are also people who specialize in kundalini awakening help that you can find online – but tread carefully. Trust your instincts. If you feel worse or if you get weird vibes about someone, you don’t owe them any explanation. Leave. Find someone else. You have the right to get the guidance you need.
Kundalini Awakening FAQ
Here are some other questions you might have about this powerful experience on the spiritual journey:
What happens after kundalini awakening?
Usually, there is a period of long integration after the kundalini awakening experience. In other words, it takes a while for the mind, heart, and soul of a person to fully comprehend what they’ve been through and translate that into daily life. For some (extremely) rare people, kundalini awakening results in liberation from the separate self and the realization of non-dual awareness (also known as ‘enlightenment’).
How to have a kundalini awakening?
There are many methods out there that help to stimulate kundalini energy. Most involve either Tantric and/or Yogic practice. Visualization, plant medicines (like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca), certain breathwork techniques, belly dancing, and meditations also help to awaken kundalini energy. But remember to always be gentle, go slowly, and know what you’re doing. Kundalini energy is powerful and not to be messed around with.
How long does kundalini awakening take?
The answer is that it varies for everyone. Some people experience the awakening of kundalini early on their spiritual path (indeed, for some it actually triggers the spiritual search). For others, kundalini awakens after many years of spiritual practice. There is no set in stone rule here: it depends on your unique energetic blockages, destiny, soul, and many other factors.
***
As the kundalini awakens, you naturally become aware of your true nature, the nature of God, and the purpose of your existence. It is an accelerated path to God-Realization, and can create many extraordinary experiences and realizations.
– Steven Sadleir (Looking For God)
Kundalini awakening can happen gradually and subtly or explosively and rapidly on our spiritual awakening journeys. Known as the Serpent Power, the Inner Woman, and the essence of Shakti, kundalini energy can be a force of tremendous awakening or deep enslavement. The key is to be mindful, practice spiritual discernment, trust in your soul’s strength, and seek help where needed.
Remember that the ultimate purpose of kundalini is to dissolve the inner knots that keep you small and limited, helping you to awaken to your Eternal, Primordial, True Nature.

consciouslifenews--2020-11-27--Becoming the Alchemist: Creating the Conditions for Higher Alchemy to Flow

One of the most influential and loved spiritual books out there is The Alchemist by Paulo Choelo .
It 's a marvelous demonstration of how you create alchemy by coming into the natural flow of the Universe .
Paradoxically there 's no longer a ‘ you ' creating as such , alchemy is flowing through you and the landscape is then shaping around you .
So how might we create the right conditions to amplify this universal phenomenon for maximum possibility ?
How might you become the alchemist ?
… There are a paradox and a balance to hold on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infuse higher alchemy into your life .
Firstly there 's the requirement to open into the infinite potential of the Universe , which requires complete acceptance of what is – you come deep into your Sacred Ground of Being .
But then the soul will emerge from there and begin to infuse your life on multiple dimensional levels .
In the lower dimensions of the physical , emotional and mental , the vibrations are pretty dense , and in the convolutions of the Old Paradigm we 're living in , it can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to come through .
Therefore we need to give the embodiment some attention and support .
In other words , we need to give some “ oomph ” to let the magic penetrate !
It 's been overcast and raining here in the UK this last week or so , following a couple of pretty humungous storms – no doubt caused by cosmic energy impacting the ionosphere then cascading into the jetstreams – something we 'll all need to get used to as the 5D Shift continues to unfold .
Yesterday in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but looking out into the murkiness , rain and cold wind , it did n't feel too appealing to go out for a walk !
It would have been easy just to settle indoors .
And that would have determined the quality of the experience I 'd have had .
But then sitting there for a moment and opening a space to allow the infinite potential to come in , a clip from a video came to mind of someone taking an ice bath and speaking of the ‘ contrasts ' of life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came to mind .
It was certainly a contrast between my cozy room and the outside !
So I dressed up and braved the weather .
It 's essential how you do this , however , assuming you yearn to catch the higher dimensional possibility .
If you just contract down in the face of the challenge , then you 're allowing the conditions to dominate and determine your consciousness .
So as I 'm walking down the street , wind , and rain blowing in my face , I 'm working to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this mean ?
To normalize with something is to so completely accept it , that you do n't need it to go away .
You embrace it fully , wholly , and completely , exploring every nuance of it with curiosity and interest .
But neither do you let it then define you .
You 're equalizing with it .
At that point , it becomes possible to expand through it , like passing through the eye of the needle .
Someone on Openhandweb put it succinctly in a forum the other day… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that first in any given situation is to completely accept it as The One .
And inviting maximum discomfort ensures to deeply equalize with the feeling of it , every nuance of it .
This means you equalize with it .
At this point , you 're so as one with it , that you can step through is as The One .
What Inspiration Arises from the Infinite Potential ?
But then after you 've equalized , to be the alchemist in the situation is not to continue to dwell there , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there 's so much more possibility to the moment .
What synchronicities do you see ?
What inspiration comes your way ?
How is the field flowing that you can pick up through subtle perceptions , nuances , signs , and synchronicity ?
At this point , out in the rain , the flow was engaging me strongly , first this way , then that .
I 'm seeing painted murals on walls , birds darting and diving in the wind , trees rustling their leaves at me .
I can feel an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I then work to embody .
And as I embraced this universal feedback loop , guess what happened ?
The rain stopped , a hole in the clouds appeared and the sun shone through !
Not that I needed the sun , but it felt like a tremendous reflection of the mood that I 'd opened into .
The flow took me to a candlelit well , which is underneath the Tor in Glastonbury where I live .
It was magically lit up and felt like a grotto of pixie energy .
Sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there were people bathing naked in there .

One of the most influential and loved spiritual books out there is The Alchemist by Paulo Choelo. It's a marvelous demonstration of how you create alchemy by coming into the natural flow of the Universe. Paradoxically there's no longer a ‘you' creating as such, alchemy is flowing through you and the landscape is then shaping around you. So how might we create the right conditions to amplify this universal phenomenon for maximum possibility? How might you become the alchemist?…
Sacred Ground of Being
There are a paradox and a balance to hold on the spiritual path if you yearn to infuse higher alchemy into your life. Firstly there's the requirement to open into the infinite potential of the Universe, which requires complete acceptance of what is – you come deep into your Sacred Ground of Being. But then the soul will emerge from there and begin to infuse your life on multiple dimensional levels. In the lower dimensions of the physical, emotional and mental, the vibrations are pretty dense, and in the convolutions of the Old Paradigm we're living in, it can be hard for this alchemy of higher being to come through. Therefore we need to give the embodiment some attention and support. In other words, we need to give some “oomph” to let the magic penetrate!
It's been overcast and raining here in the UK this last week or so, following a couple of pretty humungous storms – no doubt caused by cosmic energy impacting the ionosphere then cascading into the jetstreams – something we'll all need to get used to as the 5D Shift continues to unfold. Yesterday in the afternoon I had some free space, but looking out into the murkiness, rain and cold wind, it didn't feel too appealing to go out for a walk!
It would have been easy just to settle indoors. And that would have determined the quality of the experience I'd have had. But then sitting there for a moment and opening a space to allow the infinite potential to come in, a clip from a video came to mind of someone taking an ice bath and speaking of the ‘contrasts' of life. It was the word contrast that came to mind. It was certainly a contrast between my cozy room and the outside!
Just at that moment, an old guy on a walking stick shuffled past my window, apparently completely unperturbed by the rain and wind. Yep, it's time to go out!
So I dressed up and braved the weather. It's essential how you do this, however, assuming you yearn to catch the higher dimensional possibility. If you just contract down in the face of the challenge, then you're allowing the conditions to dominate and determine your consciousness. So as I'm walking down the street, wind, and rain blowing in my face, I'm working to completely normalize in it. What does this mean?
Normalise to Equalise
To normalize with something is to so completely accept it, that you don't need it to go away. You embrace it fully, wholly, and completely, exploring every nuance of it with curiosity and interest. But neither do you let it then define you. You're equalizing with it. At that point, it becomes possible to expand through it, like passing through the eye of the needle. Someone on Openhandweb put it succinctly in a forum the other day…
I realised it was also about being really conscious with it and normalising in the discomfort, not trying to make it go away asap (it even got to the point where I actually invited maximum discomfort)…Hannah
So this is my first point: that first in any given situation is to completely accept it as The One. And inviting maximum discomfort ensures to deeply equalize with the feeling of it, every nuance of it. This means you equalize with it. At this point, you're so as one with it, that you can step through is as The One.
What Inspiration Arises from the Infinite Potential?
But then after you've equalized, to be the alchemist in the situation is not to continue to dwell there, or even to wallow there, because there's so much more possibility to the moment. What synchronicities do you see? What inspiration comes your way? How is the field flowing that you can pick up through subtle perceptions, nuances, signs, and synchronicity?
At this point, out in the rain, the flow was engaging me strongly, first this way, then that. I'm seeing painted murals on walls, birds darting and diving in the wind, trees rustling their leaves at me. I can feel an air of excitement and adventure, which I then work to embody. And as I embraced this universal feedback loop, guess what happened? The rain stopped, a hole in the clouds appeared and the sun shone through!
Not that I needed the sun, but it felt like a tremendous reflection of the mood that I'd opened into.
The flow took me to a candlelit well, which is underneath the Tor in Glastonbury where I live. It was magically lit up and felt like a grotto of pixie energy. Sure enough, despite the freezingly cold water, there were people bathing naked in there. Again, there was an air of alchemy about the place. People deciding NOT to be conditioned, controlled and owned by the purely 3D landscape, the weather, and environment – essentially, they were making a commitment, an opening, to a higher possibility. The sense of it created a wonderful feeling of alchemy.
The Secret of Happiness
As I recount my experience, it reminds me of a great clip from The Alchemist, about the lead character's meeting with the ‘wisest man in the world'…
The story begins with the boy heading off into the desert, wanting to learn the secret of happiness from the ‘wisest man in world’. He travels for many a day until finally….he reaches a beautiful castle, the home of the wise man. As the boy enters the magnificent castle, he is surrounded by hundreds of people, every group from tradespeople and guests to musicians. After the boy has waited patiently, the wise man finally speaks to him. He asks the young boy who is in search of himself, why he has come to him. The wise man advises that he is unable to discuss the boy’s quest at this very moment. Instead, he tells the boy to take a walk around his beautiful palace and come back to him a few hours. Before the boy left, the wise man handed him a spoon that held two drops of oil, “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill,’ the wise man instructs. After two hours, the boy returns to the wise man. “Well,” asked the wise man, “did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?’ The boy was embarrassed and confessed he had observed nothing as he was only focused on not spilling the oil the wise man had given him. “Then go back and observe the marvels of my world,” said the wise man. Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and began exploring this palace once more, this time observing everything, from the garden to the amazing art work and the breathtaking views of the mountains all around the castle. The boy once again returned to the wise man, this time relating everything he had seen in great detail. “But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone. “Well there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon,”
When I've read this previously, the drops of oil, to me, refer to the well of presence within, and to be always attentive and opening into it, which is what I call the Sacred Ground of Being. AND AT THE SAME TIME, to be engaged with the outer, witnessing the color, the majesty, and the spectacle. To be engaged in it, but not lost in it. In this way, you start to experience the full color and majesty of our multidimensional landscape, because you're not lost or defined by any singular or limited aspect of it.
5 Essential Keys to Unlocking Alchemy
Here are 5 essential keys to unlocking alchemy in your life which I felt to add to the article…
1. The first key is acceptance and equalisation with the situation.
2 The second key is breaking through any inner density and becoming the One.
3. The third key is to watch for signs and synchronicity activating beingness
4. The fourth key is to give energy to the expression of beingness and amplify it.
5. The fifth key is to follow the emerging flow building energy feedback loops.
Let the Alchemy Flood in and Sweep You Up
Just to be clear, this has NOTHING to do with intentional manifesting, which can (and often does) cut across the natural spontaneity of soul energy and higher alchemy. There is making a commitment to normalize with the outer, yes. And there is committing to open an internal space for the higher, yes. But then you're simply responding to what wants to come in. You'll have to give some energy to the inquiry, yes – that's my main point – there'll need to be that sense of adventure. So you've created the landscape for the alchemy. Now let it flood in and sweep you up.
What do you see?
What do you feel?
What do you witness?
Keep being attentive to the feedback loops, the signs, and synchronicity. Keep embodying the feelings of natural beingness. Keep looking for new possibilities. Now you're being the alchemist, opening a channel to higher dimensions of creativity. Now the lower 3D landscape will shape around you. You simply won't be able to stop the magic pouring in.
That's the sense I worked to capture in this recent Openhand Video, “Alchemising”. I'll close with it to share some inspiration for you to find the Alchemist in you. Let's be alchemical!…
If you've resonated with some of what I've been sharing, if you've felt the sense of alchemy and adventure that I'm feeling about the Shift, then you might well find yourself inspired by the Openhand work. It's purposefully crafted to meet these times of great change and take the full opportunity in them. Consider then coming along to one of our events around the world. Openhand Events 2021

consciouslifenews--2020-11-27--Amateur Astronomer Alberto Caballero Finds Possible Source of Wow! Signal

Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero , one of the founders of The Exoplanets Channel , has found a small amount of evidence for a source of the notorious Wow !
signal .
In his paper uploaded to the arXiv preprint server , Caballero describes searching the Gaia database for possible sun-like stars that might host an exoplanet capable of supporting intelligent life .
Back in 1977 , astronomers working with the Big Ear Radio Telescope—at the time , situated in Delaware , Ohio—recorded a unique signal from somewhere in space .
It was so strong and unusual that one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jerry Ehman , famously scrawled the word Wow !
on the printout .
Despite years of work and many man-hours , no one has ever been able to trace the source of the signal or explain the strong , unique signal , which lasted for all of 72 seconds .
Since that time , many people have suggested the only explanation for such a strong and unique signal is extraterrestrial intelligent life .
In this new effort , Caballero reasoned that if the source was some other life form , it would likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were the case , it would stand to reason that such a life form might be living on a planet similar to Earth—one circling its own sun-like star .
Pursuing this logic , Caballero began searching the publicly available Gaia database for just such a star .
The Gaia database has been assembled by a team working at the Gaia observatory run by the European Space Agency .
Launched back in 2013 , the project has worked steadily on assembling the best map of the night sky ever created .
To date , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stars .
In studying his search results , Caballero found what appears to fit the bill—a star ( 2MASS 19281982-2640123 ) that is very nearly a mirror image of the sun—and is located in the part of the sky where the Wow !
signal originated .
He notes that there are other possible candidates in the area but suggests his candidate might provide the best launching point for a new research effort by astronomers who have the tools to look for exoplanets .
