Janet Decker, C.Ht., Dean of Metaphysics Asks; What Does it Mean To Be Spiritual?
We all know them, the spiritual/metaphysical folks who walk around claiming to dwell in a space of peace, love and joy all the time. They tell us to bless and love those who harm us and all will be fine. You know, the kind of people you want to bitch slap and find out what drugs they are taking so you can enjoy some too?
Well, I pose this question to them, where is their humanness? I think many people simply don’t understand what it means to be a spiritual person. It seems to me they believe that denying their humanness is being spiritual. I consider myself to be a very spiritual person but I, in no way what so ever, walk around in a state of peace, love and joy 24/7. I could not do this even if I tried to. Maybe it’s because I am all about truth, seeking it, finding it, living it, being it.
I came to earth to experience the human condition and that is exactly what I am doing. I am here to experience all the joys, and miseries, that befall the average human being and boy oh boy am I! In this lifetime I have suffered from financial woes, heartbreak, uncertainty, illness, anger, frustration, grief, and failed relationships. I sometimes feel sad, lonely, and heartbroken. I sometimes feel jealously, fear and rage. It seems to me that to pretend I am so spiritual that everyday life does not at times get me down would be a huge lie and that is not in keeping with who I am. After 30 years on a spiritual path the one thing I can say with absolute certainty is, it’s okay to be human. Not only is it okay, it is what we are supposed to be. Why else would we have incarnated on 3D earth as human beings?
My sense of the grand scheme of the Universe is that to deny our humanness is to return again and again, life time after life time, until we do experience the full spectrum of being human. So, that being said, there is no way I’m pretending anything. No sir, not me. I am going to scream in pain when I feel pain be it physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. I am going to say the “F” word when conditions warrant it. I am going to tell Goddess exactly what I think of him/her when the pain gets too great. And yes I am even going to cuss Goddess if that is what I am feeling. I sense this is my last incarnation on 3D earth and I’m not taking any chances on having to come back to do it again. I am pulling out all the stops this, hopefully, last time around. I am giving full expression to whatever I am feeling, be joy and happiness, or deep anger and grief. Full expression of the latter can be ugly my friends so you may not want to be in the line of fire when I get upset. 
Also, reincarnation aside, as Cheryl Lee Harnish says so beautifully; “Our soul’s truth shines in being who we are. We cannot hide, control or deny even one small part of ourselves without hiding our light as well.” I find this statement to be oh so true. The ugliness I sometimes feel and exhibit is as much a part of me as the beauty I often feel. Why deny it?
In closing I say, let’s raise a cup to being human and giving full expression to this condition no matter what it looks like. WooHoo! And don’t take my beliefs as gospel check out the Consciousness Studies program at IMU. Dare to raise your own consciousness and discover your own truth.
Mayan Calendar Update: Only Days to Go
From: www.seancaulfield.com
Day Keeping particulars and translation for December 2012 – The Mayan calendar has many layers of understanding that can be seen in the different cycles and combinations within the 260 and 360 Day calendars.
Chinese Year of the Water Dragon and The Mayan calendar – December 2012
By Sean Caulfield – www.seancaulfield.com
On 6th December we go through the midpoint of 18 days of Akbal/Night – recreation of unity and dampened worldly ambition, the intention is seen in the number 10, which is “challenge” that brings manifestation. Akbal is Darkness before Light, the obsidian mirror of Prophecy. The end of old and beginning of new. A good day to make a fire as the Sun rises and ask for renewal and resurrection here on the face of the Earth. On 15th Dec Akbal fully comes through and what may have been held back until now will manifest.
2012 is the Chinese Year Of The Water Dragon. According to the Chinese Zodiac calendar on 22nd January 2012 the Year of the Rabbit ended, giving way for the Year of the Water Dragon which runs from 23rd January 2012 to 9th February 2013. A link to Chinese astrological predictions for 2012. http://www2.chineseastrologer.org/2012_year_of_the_water_dragon.php
The underlying bigger cycles of the Mayan calendar are at the effect of Alligator, Jaguar and Wind. My reference for this comes from a continuation and the new beginning of all the cycles of the 9 levels of the Mayan calendar. Life continues to manifest by an ever evolving purpose seen in evolutions growth and maturity of life through Creations Sacred 13 intention and 20 aspects that weave to form the sacred 260 day Tzolkin of the Maya peoples. Within this 260 day count, on the 5th of December 2012 we start a new 13 day Trecena of Kan/Lizard. You can go to the latest at Mayan Majix for more insight. http://www.mayanmajix.com/1mma_12_5_12.html. Kan/Lizard is a “day to ask for abundance… to unravel problems, to eliminate bad energy and influences, to loosen the ties that bind us to vices, and to fix emotional or romantic problems.” Carlos Barrios.
The 9 levels of the Mayan calendar started 16.4 Billion years ago. Link to the structure.
http://www.seancaulfield.com/Member/RockArtGallery/Images/ImageGallery/20120712055346690.pdf. Link from Dr. Calleman of how he sees the Mayan calendar’s cycle continuing. http://www.calleman.com/img/graph2012.pdf
The completion and build up to the top of the 9 levels has seen radical changes to the world. Our human consciousness is now able to fully see itself for what it is, without the filters that where in place before we reached the top of the Mayan calendar. We have potentially arrived at a connection with our zero point and new beginnings. Hence, all the cycles continue with a new understanding of purpose from the 29th October 2011. This new beginning reconnect us with the original dream of unity and the fact that we are one with the Divine Infinite Source of all the Universe. The original dream of unity could never fully manifest before the completion of the Mayan calendar. The reason for this is because the Mayan calendar’s 9 levels had not fully evolved through to the sacred completion number of 13. We have now been given the tools to fully manifest unity consciousness through 13. However because of the evident chaos in the collective unconscious and our heavily weighing unresolved “stuff”, it is going to take time for things to fully shift to a balanced equality. There is no quick fix solution, yet through patience and endurance we will prosper, through truth of heart we will attract long lasting peace and happiness.
The continuing underlying bigger cycles that start again are all about new beginnings holding the primordial energies of Imix which is known as the Alligator/Dragon.
Imix is Wetness, Earth Monster, Water Lily, Crocodile. Spiny One or Caiman. She is the First Mother, her place is where Sky and Earth meet the Ocean in the salty waters of the mangrove and water lily covered estuaries. Imix is a day so ancient it precedes the cultivation of maize, a world in which humans lived off the abundance of the Earth Mother through hunting and gathering all they needed for sustenance, shelter and sacrifice. A day of the Source of life, Mother Energy, Primal Waters, Blood, Nurture and sustenance. A time to clean oneself of negative chargers that have built up within us.
On the 22nd October 2012 we completed a 360 day Tun cycle of 1- Imix/Alligator/Dragon, the initiating of the new phenomena comes to the surface. We entered the new 360 day cycle of 2-Ik/Wind on the 23rd of October, a reaction that will allow for the new phenomena to be disseminated and communicated. This cycle will take us through to October 2013. Ik/Wind is the breath of life, the North Wind, the ripening and harvesting wind of the maize fields as well as the “Lords of Dust”. The spirit or vital energy that moves this world towards change. A good time to ask for our negativity, suffering and sorrows to be taken away and a day to ask that we may grow spiritually and that our path be cleared before us.
The 234 day cycles of 13×18 days is a large Trecena cycle on the Galactic plane that aligns to the 8th level of the Mayan calendar. On 19th June 2012 we started a large 234 day cycle of 1-Jaguar, a connection to the deep subconscious. This cycle completes on 6th February 2013 and the following 234 day cycle starts with 1-Deer which will initiate a time of bringing spiritual strength in nature. The Jaguar cycle that we are riding now brings a connection to the core of the Earth. Jaguar is the Lord of the night and Underworld. Jaguar is the warring sorcerer in the shaman’s field of battle for human hearts and souls. The Jaguar’s mirror-like golden eyes reflect the power of the sun who lets loose its “Nawales” across the Mountain-Plain as night falls on the face of the Earth. Within this Jaguar cycle, we are in the tenth 18 day cycle of 10-Akbal/Night. So on 6 December 2012 we reach the midpoint of 18 days of 10-Akbal/Night, the number 10 is all about the challenges that manifest and Akbal/Night is the recreation of unity and dampened worldly ambition.
On 16 December we start a new 18 days cycle of 11-Kan/Lizard/Seed, brings clarity and resolve for a time when sustenance naturally manifest and patience is rewarded. Kan/Lizard/Seed is the day of the “carrying net” into which the maize is harvested and brought down off the mountain. This is a day to give back with thanks. South is her direction and abundance is her destiny…….
On the 21st Dec 2012 it is 4-Ahau and we arrive at the summer/winter solstice and the Galactic astrological alignment of the 26000 years processional cycle. 4-Ahau is the 160th day of the 260 day Tzolkin and this day brings consciousness closest to the ration of the golden mean of 1.618 on the Tzolkin. The following day is 5-Imix and the start of the 9th Uinal of 20 days which “creates forward movement” in the process of the growth from seed to mature fruit. This sacred forward movement of Creation’s Divine Will is Quetzalcoatl or Christ consciousness energy. The message is that we are all Divine Universal Beings of Creation and nobody can take away our individuality.
We are one in Diversity. Everything is sacred because it is not separate. You are everything you see. What you do to life you are doing to yourself, so treat life how you want to be treated. Now is the time to become conscious and live with feeling. Your feelings come from the blood that circulates through your ancient heart and this connects you to all life, because the ancient heart is where all life has evolved from.

The Universal 19th Night(9×9) = 18 days of applying the new consciousness
Start of 18 days of 12-Chicchan /Serpent, creates understanding for vital energy, instinct and desire for creativity
In my understanding nothing could fully mature to its truth of 13 intentions until the completion of the 9 levels of the Mayan calendar on 28th October 2011. Before this date there were big manipulations. It is now the time of the Great Revealing.
On the Mayan calendar the numbers 1 to 13 are sacred universal waves that emanate as Divine intentions aligned to the evolution and growth of life from seed to mature fruit. Starting with 1 = initiate, 2 = reaction, 3 = activate, 4 = stability, 5 = empower, 6 = flow, 7 = reveal, 8 harmonize, 9 = forward movement, 10 = challenge, 11 = clarity, 12 = understanding, 13 = complete. Humans complete there cycle to becoming and elder after roughly 52 years, this equates to 4 cycles of 1 to 13, 360 day cycles. Thus we become a teenager at roughly 13 years of age.

Keeping Up with Carla Rueckert and the Law of One
At IMU, we are always so proud of our instructors. We are soo blessed to have attracted such amazing teachers into our circle. One of those instructors that I can hardly believe we attracted was Carla Rueckert. Many of you might not know her name but you certainly know her work.
Carla is the woman who channeled the Law of One materials. This work, which is considered a classic by serious students of metaphysics, circles the globe in its influence. Most notably David Wilcock, who studied at the feet of Carla for a year, has taught this information far and wide.
Here at IMU, you too, can study at Carla’s feet, as she both teaches this class directly and interacts directly as well (well, she interacts INDIRECTLY through her assistant Gary, who relays her answers for her.) I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting both and am just so happy that we have them as part of the team. If you are looking to take a class that will blow your mind and really take you to the next level, I highly recommend “The Law of One.”
This course is to be enjoyed by those who are interested in Consciousness Studies, Intuitive Arts (the quality of the channeling with knock your socks off), and Ufology as she is working with an intergalactic council to bring through these very high-level teachings, including the prophecies that speak very specifically of the times in which we live.
So here is an update for ways that you can learn more about Carla and her devoted husband Jim McCarty.
(1) AWAKENING TRUTH WORLDWIDE
Carla will participate in an online conference hosted by the channel Brad Johnson of “Awakening Truth Worldwide” on December 9, 2012 at 3:00 pm eastern time. http://www.awakeningtruthworldwide.com/fe/34503-the-contact-assembly-teachings-of-the-law-of-one
(2) A NEW VIEW OF LIFE Kathy Kirk of “A New View of Life”, http://appliedspirituality.com/a-new-view-of-life-radio-show/a-new-view-of-life-radio-season-iii/, has recorded an interview with Jim and Carla that will air on Christmas Day, December 25th, at 6:00 pm EST (GMT -5).
To listen to the broadcast as it airs on Decmber 25th, go to http://www.voiceamerica.com/channel/246/voiceamerica-variety. If you miss the broadcast, the archive copy can be streamed and downloaded on this page after being broadcast: http://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/65581/a-fork-in-the-road-how-solfeggio-frequencies-empower-personal-and-planetary-transformation.
You can currently sign up for Carla’s class with the $75 “End of the World Special” until December 21.
Halloween
Since today is October 31st I thought it appropriate to write just a little about the origins of this holiday.
Samhain (Halloween), spoken or Anglicized as Sowin, is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year that we call winter. It is celebrated October 31 – November 1. It is halfway between Mabon (Fall Equinox) and Yule (Winter Solstice). Imbolc (Feb. 1), Beltane (May 1) and Lughnasadh (Aug.1) make up the other 3 Gaelic seasonal festivals.
In the Gaelic tradition many important events happened on Samhain. At this time the cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and it is a time when livestock were slaughtered for the winter. Bonfires were created and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual. After the slaughter the bones of the animals were then cast into the fires.
It was believed that at Samhain the doorway between the worlds would open allowing passage from the world of the dead, and also other worlds such as the fairy kingdom, into this world.
Tables would be set with an extra plate as an invitation for loved ones who had passed to come and dine. It was a way to honor the dead. At this time people would take steps to protect themselves from harmful spirits and it is possible that this is what led to “guising” or dressing up in costume. Divination was also done at Samhain.
In the “Old Country”, Scotland and Ireland, children went door to door dressed in costumes, guising, and would only get a treat, and sometimes money, if they first preformed for the household. The children would sing, recite a poem or a funny joke and some would do things even more elaborate such as playing a mouth organ.
Since the 20th century Samhain has been celebrated as a religions holiday by the Celtic neopagans and Wiccan’s.
Have a safe and fun Samhain… And watch out for witches!

What is Ho’oponopono
Basic Huna: Ho’oponopono
by Tad James
http://www.ancienthuna.com/ho-oponopono.htm
Ho’oponopono means to make right. Essentially, it means to make it right with the ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you have relationships. We believe that the original purpose of Ho’oponopono was to correct the wrongs that had occurred in someone’s life including Hala (to miss the thing aimed for, or to err, to disobey) and Hewa (to go overboard or to do something to excess) which were illusions, and even ‘Ino (to do harm, implying to do harm to someone with hate in mind), even if accidental.
This description is by no means a complete training in how to do Ho’oponopono. While appropriate to do for yourself, for yours and others safety, it should not be done with someone else without training.
For example, let’s say your five-year-old grandson punched another five-year-old intentionally with hate in mind. If asked, then the one who was punched would forgive the other immediately, because it is inappropriate for anyone to carry guilt any longer than they had to, if it were not necessary.
We call this the Hawaiian Code of Forgiveness, and it’s an important thought, because when we forgive others, who are we forgiving? Ourselves, of course.
If you are familiar with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), there is a saying, “People are only doing the best they can with the resources they have available.” If you’ve heard that before, it has to do with forgiveness. Think about it. As you do consider that you are included in “people.”
In the Eastern traditions, too, there is a real tradition of being aligned with and cleaning up relations with the ancestors. In Japan, China, as well as the Hawaiian tradition, it is thought to be important to align and clean up any past problems that you’ve had in relationships, especially with relatives.
At the same time, perhaps there are family patterns you do not want. Certainly you have heard the saying, “We just don’t do that in our family,” or “That’s the way it is in our family.” What happens then, is that certain generational themes get passed along in families, like sadness or any number of different traits. Ho’oponopono will allow you to clean this up.
THEORY: We carry inside us as parts of the Unconscious Mind, all the significant people in our lives. (These parts of us often look very much like Carl Jung’s archetypes.) Ho’oponopono makes it “all right” with them. The process of Ho’oponopono is to align with and clean up our genealogy as well as to clean up our relationships with other people in our lives.
The Process of Ho’oponopono:
- Bring to mind anyone with whom you do not feel total alignment or support, etc.
- In your mind’s eye, construct a small stage below you
- Imagine an infinite source of love and healing flowing from a source above the top of your head (from your Higher Self), and open up the top of your head, and let the source of love and healing flow down inside your body, fill up the body, and overflow out your heart to heal up the person on the stage. Be sure it is all right for you to heal the person and that they accept the healing.
- When the healing is complete, have a discussion with the person and forgive them, and have them forgive you.
- Next, let go of the person, and see them floating away. As they do, cut the cord that connects the two of you (if appropriate). If you are healing in a current primary relationship, then assimilate the person inside you.
- Do this with every person in your life with whom you are incomplete, or not aligned.
- The final test is, can you see the person or think of them without feeling any negative emotions. If you do feel negative emotions when you do, then do the process again.
Ho’oponopono is a shamanic practice that can save lives. It is transformative in nature. Its power can help to heal our ancestors and future generations. IMU instructor Mark Perkins teaches a course in H’oponopono at IMU.In this course you will learn this process in depth as he guides you along the journey.
You can register for the course and get started today if you’d like.
