The world is in chaos…

Lately I have been contemplating the entirely human quality known as ’sympathy.’

No other creature on earth has the evolutionary development to express such a frequency of being.

Sympathy… is it good or bad to be sympathetic?

Something to consider…
There are a couple of related qualities: ‘sympathy‘ and ‘empathy’. To have ‘empathy’… to be empathetic is to feel as if you have ‘walked a mile in someone’s shoes’ … you are acknowledging the feelings or experiences of another.
Whereas ’sympathy’ has an inbuilt quality of superiority attached to the action of giving ’sympathy’ or being sympathetic. You do not speak about sharing sympathy… one gives while the other receives… indicating an inherent lack of equality in the exchange.

I have met many people who play ‘the sympathy card’ to get by in life. (Make no mistake… it’s a manipulation). There are some who play it brilliantly. Not like a violin but rather, like a full orchestra… with breathtaking skill and some others can use it with the power of a sociopath.

For those of you who don’t know exactly what a ’sociopath’ is, it’s someone who feels none of the normal rules of human interaction apply to them (because they feel that their story is the most miserable of all and no one will ever understand their pain etc… and so on…). In their version of reality, there is the underlying beliefe that everyone has had it better than them so the “general public” is fair game…everyone can be used for their own ends with no sense of responsibility, gratitude or appreciation…or reciprocation.

In fact at the end, when it has become obvious this is a ‘dependent’, manipulative person rather than a responsible, talented ‘individual’ looking for a break …(they usually have a well refined/rehearsed attitude of pathetic-ness with that ‘deep unrecognized potential’…you feel sure you can help them reveal to the world!)

We live in a world of paradox…

To be or not to be a Valentine… ?

Question: Who was Valentino?

Answer: A wild passionate (apparently pretty sociopathic) Italian lover with no qualms’ about home wrecking or the deflowering of virgins… wow…so that’s who I want to be nominated by on Valentines Day?
I don’t think so…

In this new millennium we have the power to research the origin of ideas and then observe their evolution within our culture.

As I observe the changes with regard to Valentine’s Day, it is now the celebration where we have the power to make someone else in our life feel valued… or perhaps we have the courage to validate and value ourselves .

Think for a moment about the word Valentine.
Within it the first syllable ‘Val’….  connects this word  ‘Valentine’ to other words such as Value, Validate, Valiant, they are all words that infer the quality of  ‘worth’.

Mostly we come from an entrenched culture that forces people into boxes.
Boxes for their minds, (public schools) other boxes for their bodies (fashion) and others still for their spirit (organized religion by any name) all these boxes are ways we deal with the infinite possibilities and overwhelming challenges we face daily.

Within the context of this violently competitive world culture we are trying desperately to find ourselves, our self worth, our purpose… or at the very least some form of meaning and ‘value’ inherent in our human life and earthly love.

The point many of us miss in our flurry for success and ‘validation’ in the eyes of others is that there is no force on earth more powerful than love. And no love more important than the unconditional love of the ’self’.’

Once we are passionately in love with ourselves it is easy to love others because we are already filled up with love that indeed begins to overflow onto others and into our environment.

Am I talking about ego-maniacs? Not at all. There is a big difference between self love and self aggrandizement… we all know people like that. People who spend their time convincing the world around them that they are so great in an effort to cover up their insecurity; and perhaps convince themselves.

These people have little to show for all their hot air and do not like scrutiny.  When push comes to shove they are empty inside and afraid to be truly heard or seen for fear of the judgment of others.

When we really love ourselves we take time for good rest, we feed our bodies good food, we exercise and breathe with confidence. In so doing we are giving our brain the best fuel for positive, creative thinking processes and dismissing the danger of imbalance.

Love crosses all boundaries, overcomes all obstacles and melts away all disillusionment… if we have the grace and the courage to protect our “power to love” and sustain our relationship with the loving part of ourselves we will ultimately succeed no matter what the obstacles are because we are aligning with Divine Intent Super OMG Special Divine Order; which is indeed a manifestation of Divine Love in action.

As we enter the time known for love I wish each of you a very happy Valentines Day filled with loving surprises and nurturing experiences. May the love from our own hearts shine out into the world and be a healing force upon the earth. Blessings from Shankari the Alchemist Hawaii feb 2009.

Hi, how are you?

I am really excited about the new book I am writing. It is about self satisfaction in the truest form. I have found life to be interesting and intriguing since my divorce but I have not met in all the years I have been separated from him, a single man who touched my fancy sufficiently to seek sexual satisfaction through coupling with him.

“I have on the other hand resurrected one of my more unusual skills from my youth and always been very sexually satisfied. Women are not naturally driven by the need for sex alone.”

Because women are relationship oriented, for a woman to truly enjoy sex she has to believe it is part of a relationship. It may not be a relationship leading to marriage but it must have a level of truth attached to it for intimacy to truly flourish.

Men on the other hand have the ability to completely compartmentalize experiences and have no trouble with sex outside relationship. (Maybe not all men, but certainly the ones with high levels of testosterone that are the most charismatic to women. These would be the Fire/Earth elements).

We are all going through a changed experience just now and the economy is making everyone nervous. I am writing this book to bring a level of peace into your life. No matter what…

“The right to self pleasure is yours.”

There is no reason to feel alone and unloved. There is no one who can abandon or abuse you but yourself. It is time for all people, men and women to act out all their sexual fantasies with the Divine Lover and feel whole and complete when they step out into the world.

There is no excuse for sexual frustration any more! Throughout history the church has tried to curb the sexual expression of everyone under their control.

Why?

There is no evidence to support the idea (as the church had people convinced) you will grow hair on the palms of your hands or go cross eyed because you take the time to please yourself.

Why would you take the time to please yourself? When you feel sexual satisfaction you hold a certain frequency that alerts others to your condition. Consequently you are protected from poor decisions you might make from neediness. …you not at the mercy of others.

To be your own source is the ultimate freedom.

This is a gift you can give yourself that will fill your spirit and release great power into the world. It is up to you to harness this power with your intent and send it to the places in your life that need it most.

This is an aspect of organic magic rarely discussed. I look forward to lifting the veil on this secret subject and sharing the gifts with you. One of the aspects of human life is that we are not all the same.

“We are each unique. Within our uniqueness there are groups or ‘elements’. Understanding the elements gives us the information we need to understand the world around us and why people act as they do.”

To know and understand the elements is to give up judgments on others. Once you understand your own nature and that of those around you though this ancient information life will become a lot more of an adventure and a lot less of a trial

During my workshop series “Rhythms of Life” I teach the basics of “ The Elements” and my students are always amazed how perfectly people follow the behavior and values of their element. Many mysteries unfold within my workshops, I hope you will come and join me soon….

Bali, Tonga with the Whales… Big Island of Hawaii… Life is full of adventure…

Surrender to the flow, allow yourself to live in joy, love the Divine Consort and celebrate who you are and what you are here to do!

Full moon in Leo… with an eclipse!

Did  you celebrate?

We did, at the Mystery School in Hawaii! I had all my friends and students over and we danced under the stars to welcome the magnificent full moon, it was breathtaking. Swinging to Stevie Wonder on what appears to be the edge of the world and watching the sunset and the moon rise at exactly the same moment. …. It made me think ……

when humans are fighting over the earth we are as ants discussing who owns an elephant…

Our planet is a jewel in the universe… to be treasured not trashed by her custodians.
The feeling of spaciousness hits everyone as they enter the property. Impacted by the beauty and natural wonder of this oasis over looking the sea, deep in the lava desert of the Ka’u Coast, Big Island Hawaii. I am constantly in joy, looking out into the infinite sky above the silvery grey line of the horizon… the power of the earth is undeniable here… where a lava flow can take your house or a hurricane could simply blow you away.

I had a very important revelation throughout the day that made my celebration even more exciting last night. … I have struck earth on my land! I have a back acre I am preparing to turn into a food forest along the principles of perma-culture The area has been barren and wind swept for as long as I have been here, nothing can grow because there is no earth, just raw lava. There is no water, just a heavy dew that’s blown away by the fifty mile an hour trade winds that are frequent and unrelenting.

BUT…. Today as the back hoe was digging the deep trenches to plant in away from the force of the wind we found pockets of real earth! Talk about throw a party! I wanted to fall to my knees in gratitude. It’s hard to imagine a place with no earth if you have never been here. It’s hard to imagine anything really… that’s why the people with vision are often lonely and ungrounded.
I have literally discovered a deep dark warm space where anything will grow, when I thought there was none. . I feel that’s true inside myself as well as inside the earth here.  I feel it is symbolic of a new type of creativity we are being ask to uncover within ourselves, close to the earth, simple and true to the laws of nature.

Blessings to you all this full moon.

May you have a good belly laugh before the week is over!

A weapon is a tool you put in the service of your defense. What do you need to defend yourself from in this day and age? In a purely physical and tangible way my art and jewelry creates an energy field around the wearer of peace and tranquility.

Like a filtering system.
At the same time they attract positive attention. Very few things in life are as motivating to the spirit as receiving positive attention on a regular basis, that’s what happens when you wear or use one of my works of art. They are activated in a very special way to be in full support of the higher purpose of the wearer.

The pieces have this effect for a number of reasons:
The first is because they are designed and made in Sacred Space. All my staff meditate and clear their energy for an hour each morning, insuring the energy surrounding the pieces is always clear and clean.

The second is:
No matter what size, from small to large and even ‘over the top’ (although often with intricate and sometimes asymmetrical elements), the balance and power of each piece is to the “Shankari virgin”, a shock to their system to witness. To wear such a powerful work of art indicates that you have an eye for beauty and the personal power to select and wear an activated “weapon of light”

This brings me to the third reason:
Their  magnetic quality is undeniable. People are magnetically drawn to you and you meet your
soul family through the natural process of ‘Divine Right Order’ The fourth reason: Each piece is made more potent through the use of sacred geometry. That means the mineral frequencies, colors, weights and shapes of the gem stones in combination with the architecture described within the metal create an alchemic resonance that develops a specific alignment with the energy of the wearer.

My pieces stimulate the ancient ’soul knowing’ within the viewer and the wearer. At the same time but in different ways, specific to themselves and their own evolution. I have designed jewelry and Sacred Objects prolifically over the last twenty years. The gift for me was to see myself evolve through my work.

To be creative is my life’s blood.

I am excited about the future and the new desire within everyone of you to find the truth and genuine value in the small real things in life. I make small ‘real, Weapons of Light in service to your protection and your evolution. Once you start wearing one of my pieces you will feel the exchange of energy between you and the piece as you begin the bonding process. I receive the gift of many stories from my clients on the remarkable synchronicities, healings and happy endings provided through working with the energy of the piece.

I prefer to teach by example. I get up each day and decide to make a positive difference with my life force… to support the evolution of the light workers of the earth by providing you with genuine Talismans of Power in service to your highest good and the highest good of all those around you.

May it be so!

The Equinox heralds the end of a mini-era… there are two equinox in one year. The March equinox celebrates the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere the first day of autumn.

The Equinox celebrates the moment when the day is exactly the same length as the night. It is a balance point of stillness. During this astronomical time the veils between dimensions are easily penetrated for the purpose of healing and evolutionary transformation. Celebrate this opportunity and bring your higher self in to guide you on your true evolutionary path.
