MESSAGE FROM THE LEMURIAN ELDERS
channeled by Lauren O. Thyme
Dear Gentle Souls: We are Lemurian Elders and bring you messages of hope and renewal from
ages past. We are overjoyed that so many of you have awakened to your memories and have
joined with us in bringing Lemurian energy to this beautiful planet. There is much to be
done, and we thank you for your desire to play your part.
Our Motherland existed tens of thousands of years ago on a large, lovely, lush and
harmonious continent between two seas. After its destruction, much of the land was
submerged under what is now the Pacific Ocean - an appropriate name. Those of you who
resonate to dolphins and whales lived near the sea. Those who vibrate to the sound of
waterfalls and scenes of forest glades lived inland. We Lemurians used crystals and
gemstones in our daily lives and rituals, which is why you're so drawn to them. We placed
messages in them a long time ago. They are your friends and can help you remember
Universal Laws and Wisdom and to open up your chakras and auras to Gold Light. Gold Light
comes from Creator Source and is the most potent Light in physical manifestation to
transform and transmute. As you meditate on Gold Light, invoking it into your physical and
spiritual bodies, you will transform yourselves. Gold Light is being beamed onto your
planet in ever-increasing waves of Creator Source's love and guidance. Your body/mind,
that part of you that KNOWS, is connected to the Gold Light and Creator Source. We
practiced listening to our body/minds and follow their instructions, no matter what our
intellectual minds told us. This body/mind is also connected to Universal Conscience, so
we could never go wrong.
We had physical bodies, like you do today. However, like you, we found physical bodies
difficult and painful to live in and live with. Although we were connected to physical
bodies, we chose to avoid the physical and maintain our spiritual Light Bodies most of the
time, similar to living in the Dreamworld of aboriginal peoples, highly meditative states
or out-of-body travel. Because we never fully lived in our physical bodies, we failed at
our task of becoming totally physical. Yes, you heard us correctly. We failed. That is why
we have spent millennia sending messages from the spirit world, to advise and help people
learn. BOTH the physical body and the spirit body are valuable, important, and vital to
live in this three-dimensional world. Living in physical manifestation is the most
important task human beings are here to perfect. The job of being human is to learn from
our mistakes and live in the physical.
The second task is remembering your essential spiritual nature, to utilize the realms of
Wisdom and knowledge in order to live in harmony, cooperation, peace unconditional love
and forgiveness with each other.
The most important facet of our civilization was unity - unity with self, others, the
planet including all animate and inanimate life, other dimensions and stars, and with
Creator Source. That is a concept we visualized and intended. Unity for all humans on this
planet. All are a part of Creation and the universe. All are perfect, regardless of what
the intellect says. All are here to fulfill important missions in the tapestry of
existence. Do you cringe at violence? Suffer at injustice? Wail about poverty and famine
and war? These are all perfect within Creator Source's grand design. You are here to learn
- together.
We learned to embrace the All. Avoided no thing and no one. We saw strangers as potential
friends and saw the Creator's Face in every person we encountered. We trod softly on
Creator Source's earth. Taught and practiced what we knew in our body/minds for the
highest good of all. Does this sound familiar? We have been around for awhile teaching
these concepts to many individuals, cultures, religions, and groups. The time is coming
when your visions of a Golden Age will emerge as reality from the ashes of the old world.
Are you ready? We are with you, to encourage, to remind you, to whisper Universal Truth in
your ear to make it come true. We hope it is your primary INTENTION, as it is ours, to
birth a new and loving cradle of humanity here on earth.

NEW MAILING LIST: LEMURIA
A new mailing list has been created, with the subject being Lemuria. Lemuria was a
fascinating civilization which existed prior to and during the time of Atlantis. At its
peak of civilization, the Lemurian people were both highly evolved and very spiritual.
While concrete physical evidence of this ancient continent may be difficult to find, many
people "know" that they have a strong connection to Lemuria.
The Lemuria Mailing List was created:
1) To provide an environment in which people can share knowledge, memories, thoughts,
ideas and concepts about Lemuria.
2) To gather like-minded people who have a common interest, or common history.
3) To discuss current issues and topics relevant to us today, especially as they may
relate to events from the past.
4) To increase the awareness of the way life was in Lemuria at its peak of civilization,
and recreate that greatness here on Earth now.
If this subject is one that you feel drawn to, please join us on the Lemuria Mailing List.
To subscribe to the Lemuria mailing list send a message to:
majordomo@photon.net (no subject is required)
In the body of your message type:
subscribe lemuria yourname@domain.com

SPIRIT EDITORIALS - from A World of Compassion
BUT NOT ME! by Majahnae and Spirit
Have you ever thought "But not me!" when you see someone channeling or healing
or using a pendulum or automatic writing or tarot cards? He can do this and she can do
that. Aren't they lucky? They must be blessed to have such talent. I sure am glad they can
do these things so I can go to them for assistance when I need it. "But not me! I
could never do that."
I spent a few years going to workshops, having readings and quietly gazing at these
prophets of our times with awe. In spite of the fact that they (and Jesus) taught me
"these things too and greater yea shall do," I was not convinced. In time, my
interest in all these areas grew. I went to seminars, ordered tapes and books. They all
told me the same thing, "You can do it, too". Sometimes it is hard to see the
forest for the trees.
I am still not too sure when I began to change. It was subtle and slow -- my own
"talents" sort of snuck up on me. When I finally turned around to look back, I
had become competent in many areas. After all, those teachers and prophets I sought out
had told me "These things you can do". They were right. It just took me a lot of
thumps on the head to realize I HAD learned and acquired. "But not me!"
eventually had become, "I can do this!"
Now I channel, do automatic writing, healing, program and use crystals, hear spirit,
"see" ET's and spirits and auras (not on demand, but when it is appropriate for
the work and life I have), send vibration and graphics. I do this all in the spirit of
free will and choice, only asking for clearing and healing as it is appropriate for the
individual or group it is for.
Now I am here to tell you, "You can too!" Isn't life wonderful and full of
surprises? No, the path was not easy and filled with a map and directions. I don't learn
from simple lessons. Most of us don't learn until things get uncomfortable or even very
painful. That's just the way humans are. If things are comfortable, why seek change? Are
you a seeker? Are you finding teachers around every bend? Teachers who in their own way
say, "You can do this too!"? Maybe it is time to look back and see what you have
learned to do. When you see something you'd like to do, just remember that "You can
too!"

HEALING WAYS by Majahnae
Long ago, I thought people who could give healings were touched by spirit in such a
special way. I still find animals are easiest to work with when healing because they do
not have any resistance to being well. This is unlike some humans I have encountered. It
was my cat who first taught me I could ask for the healing energies to come through me to
help heal others. One night he was hit by a car. I took him to the animal hospital. As I
sat in the dark in my car with him in my lap, waiting for the vet to arrive, I thought of
the tape I listened to the day before on how to send healing to someone. Innocently I
placed my hands on the cat and visualized the ball of healing light as they had instructed
on the tape. The cat and I sat there for a few minutes. The vet came and examined the cat
lying limply on the table. He indicated the cat was pretty well bruised but no apparent
sign of internal injuries. The phone rang and he left for a few minutes. When he returned
the cat stood up, shook himself off and hopped off the examining table. The vet looked at
me and said what happened? I meekly told him of the tape and what I had done. Nothing more
was said and the cat and I went home. It was the veterinarian months later after the
incident who acknowledged this and helped to affirm to me that it was real. He asked my
mother-in-law if I had told her about the cat. She called and asked. I had totally
forgotten the experience. She told me that the vet certainly had not forgotten. Like most
people, I need a solid hit over the head with a two by four to learn sometimes.
My first human personal experience of healing, was with my son who was about four at the
time. He had been raised with homeopathic remedies and massage, or touch for health
techniques. It was his first attempt at two wheel bicycle riding. I was watching and he
crashed. His eyes looked up at me in astonishment as if asking "how could something
so fun create so much pain?" I picked him up and through his tears he said, "Put
healing in it." I did. When I finished, he trotted off to play. A few minutes late he
came to me and said, "You're not finished." We sat down and I allowed spirit to
send the healing vibration he needed to his injury. He jumped up to play when he knew I
was through. "Put healing in it Mom." He is fourteen and still believes this
takes care of his injuries. I have taught him as he gets older to ask for healing from
spirit too. I still need to be reminded on occasion that this is what to do, as does he.

THE 500 POUND DESK
I grew up in the messiest house you can imagine. Not dirty, just messy. Rooms piled with
stacks of newspapers, books, magazines, junk mail "to be read when there was
time". My parents were both avid readers and pack rats. They simply could not bear to
throw anything away, for fear they might need it later. Adding to this was my Father's
career as a newspaper reporter turned political editorialist. In order to sit on a chair
or couch, you would first have to nudge one of the animals to move from their comfortable
spot, then lift the perhaps month or two old newspaper or last weeks "to be
read" mail or last Christmas's family letter in progress that was "to be
sent" as soon a my Mother could finish it. Her poor health and utter lack of
organization mixed with a very bright, curious mind and a heaping dose of perfectionism
kept her from many things she would mean to do. A wonderful home. An interesting home.
Just messy.
In one corner of the living room there was a huge old gray metal desk that had been
purchased used from a school when they upgraded the office furniture. For years it was
covered in one, two or perhaps almost three feet deep piles, or stacks of the "to be
read", "to be filed" or "very important papers".
My brother and I (mostly me) would try to clean house for special occasions (Christmas for
sure anyway), but always heard, "Now don't touch the important papers on the
desk". We would clean around it - even once I bought a wicker folding screen to hide
the desk that always stood in the same corner of the room, ever since we were young kids.
My Mother used to say wistfully, "that desk must weigh 500 pounds. You know it took
four men to deliver it. What will we do if we ever have to move it?"
After she and our Father had passed away, my brother and I set upon the momentous task of
emptying our big old house. One of the last few pieces of furniture left was the 500 pound
desk. We had dreaded trying to move it. Each of us stood at an end and braced ourselves
with a deep breath before attempting to lift the desk. We lifted in unison with a great
heave, it left the floor and nearly flew into the air! The 500 pound desk weighed no more
than 100 to 125 pounds. We laughed a long time after easily carrying the "500"
pound desk out of the house.
See how a simple task can overwhelm even the best of us? Do you have a 500 pound desk in
your life?

FEAR OF SAILING by Caroline Mendez
Parasailing, to be exact.
It was a beautiful, balmy night in Mazatlan at the Royal Villas Resort. Sitting outside on
our balcony, my roommate Louise and I are enjoying another incredible sunset looking out
over the Pacific Ocean. We were both in Mazatlan for a week long Spirituality in Business
Conference. I had remarked to Louise that I was looking forward to getting a massage I had
scheduled on that Wednesday morning. She turned to me and said "I've never had a
massage. It really frightens me, the thought of being that exposed and having a stranger
touch my body." It would have never occurred to me that someone would be afraid of a
massage (I have always held them with the same esteem as the big O).
I was then reminded of a workshop I attended, where we are encouraged to go towards what
frightens us. So, of course I try to cajole her into having a massage that week.
"Let's both do something we're really afraid of", I said, "Let's just push
the envelope." So Louise describes all the things she wants to do during the week
we're there. "Oh, and I definitely have to go parasailing." She says. I
instantly freeze. Fear grips my entire body at the thought. We'd watched a few people
rising up in the parasail from the beach and go gliding off, 300 feet up, into the sun and
sea beyond. Louise immediately picks up on the fact that this topic has caused me serious
concern. "So, I'll get a massage, if you'll go parasailing," she says. Before I
knew it, I said "You're on!" (I could NEVER resist a challenge)
The parasailing is not until the end of the week, and that gave me plenty of time to build
up my fear and apprehension. In the meanwhile, Louise has had her massage, and is looking
relaxed and happy.
Friday morning comes, the day of the parasailing, we meet on the beach at 12:30. I choose
to go last. My palms are sweating, I am pacing the beach. I have not yet figured out why I
am so nervous about this. I've always been athletic, done everything from snowmobiling to
water-skiing, I'm perplexed, why is this particular event so scary? Is it the height, the
loss of control (you're on the end of a rope 200 feet up being supported by a couple of
nylon straps under your bum, and that's it), trusting these people I don't know with my
life?
It's now my turn, as they're suiting me up, I'm concentrating intensely on their
instructions. Will I remember them? What if I pull the wrong cord, what if a strange wind
current catches me and carries me away, or worse, crashes me into the beach? Gack, it's
time, I run forward, the cord is being pulled by a boat racing out into the ocean, I feel
my feet leave the beach. A blood-curdling scream releases from my body and lasts until I'm
all the way up. My eyes are squeezed shut. Everyone on the beach is cheering (assuming my
yell is enthusiasm and appreciation, not fear).
I immediately start crying big heavy, child-like sobs of release of tension and fear and
anxiety. This lasts a good 5 minutes. Gripping the straps tightly, I finally open my eyes.
The beauty and peace of the moment is astounding. I am a bird, free in the air, seeing a
view I had always dreamed of as a child. I finally relax (as much as I can), into the
serenity and sheer weightlessness. I am totally at one with nature and Mother Earth. I am
just another piece of the landscape. Thank you, Louise.
Coming back down, was a breeze (no pun intended), and my body was completely drained, and
fairly weak. (I had the sense I had just been through an entire personal growth workshop
in the space of 15 minutes). We went and had a drink, and a wonderful relaxing lunch to
celebrate. Louise shares with me that several people that were on the beach cheering me on
went to sign up for the parasailing after hearing my scream (of what they assumed was
unbridled exhilaration). Little did they know!
Since coming back from Mazatlan, and facing this fear, my body is molecularly different. I
feel different, more solid, and yet lighter. I have shed at least 8 pounds off of my body,
and to be honest, I feel more confident, more myself. My fear was fear of
"flying", of going to the height of bliss and wonder and putting myself
"out there," a fear of trusting the universe to support me completely.
And, so, what's the bottom line, my friends? It's this: RUN TOWARDS THE ROAR! And I
guarantee you'll never be the same again.
