“The source of thy Spirit is drawn from Earth’s heart, for in thy form thou art one with the Earth.”  The Emerald Tablets of Thoth  

            Nature is our friend.  The idea that we need to overpower Mother Nature or overcome our own personal nature is what has caused all our problems over the centuries. However good or bad it may seem, there is only One Nature. Or as William Shakespeare once put it: “There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.” 

            I discussed the One Thing in the previous two chapters in an attempt to grasp the nature of God and the nature of “good.”  Knowing that there is no other essential thing besides this One Thing, helps us harmonize with it. 

             I’m not saying that no one can ever come into harmony with Hell, and duality certainly exists in the dualistic worlds.  However, our true home is by nature outside the dualistic world. There can be carry-over into the afterlife if that’s what we expect, and lessons usually continue because that’s in our best interest. 

            People who plan on going to Hell or purgatory probably will spend some time there, but it’ll be of their own creation. Then, if they don’t find a way out or get rescued, they’ll die there, and it’ll be back to business as usual in the physical world after a quick respite to regroup and plan their next physical life. Nothing is forever except the One Nature of the One God, and focusing on that One Nature helps us avoid experiencing anything else of a contrary nature that we may otherwise create. 

            Darkness and Light are both of the one nature, different only in seeming, for each arose from the source of all.  Darkness transmuted is light of the Light.  This, my children, is your purpose in being; transmutation of darkness to Light. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth.

            There aren’t two kinds of people any more than there are two kinds of nature. Nature within and without is all good. As a society, we’ve become distracted and deceived. However where there is disease, ease can be introduced through harmony with our one essential nature.  

            Social norms are going through a lot of changes right now, and that will only speed up and intensify until at least 2012.  To some degree we are all connected with the mass human consciousness.  I can tell you from experience that the answer isn’t to try to disconnect from society or mankind, and we certainly can’t personally take on all the “bad guys.” 

            The only real answer is found in that thing which is more common than dirt but more misunderstood than any thing else. When we hold onto the knowledge of our unity with this all-pervading love, our uniqueness as individuals and our unity with society all falls right into place.  

            Mother Nature is also going to be manifesting some big changes in the near future.  Whatever happens, the manifestations of change don’t affect the essence of a thing any more than waves on the surface of the water effect the composition of the ocean.  It’s human nature to look for depth and clarity with the expectation that what we’ll find down deep will look the same as things do on the surface. 

            For instance, we tend to think that if things are really good, they should always look good with everyone happy, healthy and safe. A good development which involves death of the physical body for instance, is usually beyond the comfort level of most people. The idea of dispelling the illusion of duality, as grand as that possibility may be, will be seen as totally irrelevant to most people if it involves any discomfort or necessitates a change of plans.

            Our Earth is a three dimensional entity (which is rapidly evolving into the fifth dimension.) When we imagine all the depth below the surface, we can see that expecting things at her core to be similar to the grass and trees on her surface is a little unrealistic. “To err is human.”  To err over and over and over is human. However, eventually coming to know what is right in front of us is within human nature too.

            We tend to fear what we don’t understand, and we can’t see what is going on beneath the surface of things.  However, we can come to know its nature. Judging the heart of Mother Earth by the rips in her skin or wind in her hair is going to be increasingly deceiving. Similarly, reacting with fear to manifestations of the One Thing is to give up our power to the winds of illusion.  Nothing can move those who stand firm with a tight grip on the Sorcerer’s Stone.

            The One Thing at the heart of Mother Nature is only evolving to a higher degree of expression. One of the manifestations of change she must undergo in this process for herself and for us is the lowering of her magnetism and a shifting of her magnetic fields.  This has been happening in small phases, and it will continue to happen slowly but in increasing degrees, probably right up until 2012 to 2014. At that point, Billy confirmed that the magnetic north will have shifted about 160 degrees from where it was recorded in the 1990s, before the magnetic lines started moving much.

            The Emerald Tablets of Thoth states that every time we get half way around the precession of the equinox, the poles shift to some degree as a result of the Earth’s magnetism dropping. This is part of the natural order which occurs twice in her 26000 year trip around the procession of the equinox.  We all exercise our Free Will for 13,000 years, until the earth reaches a certain point midway around the equinox.  Then, for a short while, our mother exercises hers. 

            In their September 9, 2004 article entitled, Earth’s Magnetic Field is Fading,” National Geographic News reported that since 1845, the Earth’s magnetism has weakened 10%.  In 'Beyond Prophecies and Predictions,' Moira Timms says, “During the past 1,800 years, this (magnetic) field is estimated to have fallen to less than two-thirds of its original strength.”      

            Professor Bannerjee, of the University of New Mexico, has stated that Earth’s magnetism has dropped 50% in the last 4000 years. Vince Migliore, editor of the Geo-Monitor Newsletter, says that on a magnetic scale of 1 – 10, our magnetic field is at about 1.5.   

            Whatever, the exact decline of magnetism, the point is that it’s definitely declining. Besides the understandable interruption in your cell phone and satellite reception, there is another little wrinkle in the magnetic drop process. The “as above so below” principle applies again here.  The magnetic field around the Earth feeds the magnetic fields around our brains and within each individual brain cell. Our memory and synaptic functions are dependent on this magnetic field remaining strong. When the field drops, things don’t work right. 

            The early Russian space program discovered that when people go out into space away from the magnetism of the Earth for more than two weeks, they literally go crazy. Their scientists created a little device to be worn on their belts which creates a magnetic field so this won’t happen. However, providing everyone in the world with one of these to compensate for the dropping magnetism isn’t high on the priorities of our rulers. 

                        Billy confirmed what we all know -- people have been getting crazier all the time. This is mainly due to the drop in magnetism. He also said that right before the big shifts, when magnetism seriously drops, people will seriously loose it if they’re inclined to. However, as our logical brains lose functionality, our hearts can become more functional and harmony with nature becomes easier.

                        This is the way Mother Earth periodically fine-tunes humanity. She usually drops her magnetism gradually, and this time will be one of the most gradual. This helps mankind come back into harmony with the Earth in a slow and natural way, especially if we cooperate with the process.  Yet, regardless of how abrupt this lowering of magnetism is, it always facilitates a much-needed reunion with Mother Earth every 13,000 years.  

                        Greg Braden explains why the dropping magnetism affects us this way: “Dense magnetics lock in emotional and mental patterns from generation to generation in the morphogenetic field.  With lesser magnetic fields, this seems to ease up, allowing easier access to higher states, as the cells of our body tune to, and try to match, Earth’s frequency….”

                        This is a natural function of our body. We don’t really have to consciously do anything.  However, we can fight it.  We can go a little crazy.  That’s a natural reaction too. It’s our choice, but harmonizing is better.  In other words, now would be a good time to dust off that old art of alchemy so we can mitigate the damage of events which go contrary to our plans.

                        It’s said that parts of the Egyptian pyramids are constructed so that they somehow have less magnetism than anywhere else. They were constructed this way to help initiates let go of their “emotional and mental patterns” so they could come into better harmony with nature.

                        We are so fortunate to be living in a time when we don’t have to travel to Egypt or climb into a dirty old pyramid just to enjoy the benefits of lower magnetism!  With Mother Earth’s help, we can let go our emotional mindsets right now.  And this blessing is only going to be increasing up until the time of the shift.

                        At the end of the Atlantean period, Mother Nature dropped her magnetism suddenly to near zero for a while in order to totally reboot the human civilization. Most of mankind’s memories were lost, and manmade materials vanished. This has happened before too, but it doesn’t always happen.  Every half way around the procession of the equinox, Mother Earth has several options open to her.

                        Magnetism always drops as a retuning measure, but how much it drops depends on how much retuning is necessary.  The Earth will wobble a little.  The magnetic poles will drift some, but a big, sudden change in magnetism is always optional.  When you consider that magnetism drops some every 13,000 years, dropping a lot, as indicated by complete reversals in the magnetic flow patterns is relatively rare. According to Braden, in the last 76 million years, only 171 reversals have been recorded. 

                        If her people are ready for a dimensional shift, this is when it can happen.  Since mankind first appeared on Earth, all of these dimensional shifts except one have been downward.  This was to match the lowering of the Earth’s frequency which was in response to the increased desire for contrast among mankind.  The one upward shift happened at the beginning of the Atlantean period.  Then, the people brought on a serious downward shift in consciousness at the end of the Atlantean period which was precipitated and accentuated by an experiment which got out of control.

                        Preceding all of these shifts, and coinciding with sudden magnetic slippage, there has always been a void of about 30 hours to 3 ½ days. The void between the dimensions helps us keep the coloring of our experiences between the lines.  Magnetics has always had to drop to the point where we lose physical consciousness so we could venture as a group out through those voids to the next dimension.  

                        This drop in magnetism to near zero sends people into the void by releasing them from all mental and emotional ties to what they have known up to that point. This drop in magnetism and resulting drop in emotional and mental baggage helps us get in touch with our underlying nature. During the time in the black void, people experience a profound oneness with all nature.  They aren’t aware of anything else except this oneness.  So when they emerge into a new reality, shock is minimized, and they’re better prepared to start off in harmony with whatever they find in that new world.    

                        If magnetics drop to near zero long enough, normal people lose their memories.  If magnetics stay at or near zero even longer, all synthetic manmade materials lose their cohesiveness, fall apart and disappear.  That’s why builders of the ancient sites used 25 ton natural rock blocks to build the pyramids and up to 200 ton blocks other places (which, by the way,  are totally impossible to build with using today’s technology) instead of light-weight, easy to handle, high tech alloy building materials. If you want to be sure that what you build will last through the next shift, you use the durable materials which have always been around. 

                        I’ll tell you what to expect for the coming shift later, but there won’t be a prolonged void if one happens at all. When the shift happens, about a year or so after magnetic reversal (and a possible short void), those who are ready will just consciously move into the next dimension. Also, magnetism won’t drop to near zero for very long, so we won’t lose our memories. However, maintaining complete sanity is already beginning to become a challenge. That’s why, “Now’s the time to find your center.” 

            Those were Billy’s words. My translation would be, “Now’s the time to come into harmony with your heart and nature.” Now’s the time to practice faith in the One Thing, so no matter what we lose on the mental level, we’ll still be in tight with what’s real. Picture someone holding onto the stone of harmony as a hurricane swirls around them.  The heart has a mind all of its own – literally!  Also, finding our center, clinging to the One real Thing, creates a balanced energy all its own, and could actually keep mind and life in tact. 

            Edgar Casey said, “Many a land could be kept intact by the consciousness of its inhabitants.” 

            Hopi prophesy predicts that the land under those faithful to the ways of Mother Earth will, “raise like plateaus” above all the chaos.”

            What they say sounds like either fantasy or magic.  That’s because they’re referring to an art which is, for all intents and purposes, lost to the world. The science of alchemy has been relegated to the status of a myth.  Well, if ever there was a time to get to the bottom of that myth, this would be it!

            When I asked how our home would hold up to the coming big winds, I was told we’d be fine because the house is “well-grounded.”  By this he meant that we had sanctified the home and area, and Mother Nature recognized it as part of herself. I asked about our guesthouse, and he said it’s “grounded enough.” When I asked about a house next door where I know the people are very disconnected, he smiled and said that it’s not grounded at all, and that’s why most of it will probably be blown down. 

            These predictions are based on the natural, alchemical Man-Earth connection which is still not understood by science. Things which demonstrate this connection only look like miracles because we don’t understand them.  Regardless of what happens on the physical level, learning the care and feeding of the human spirit is what’s really important. When that base is covered, all related physical manifestations eventually fall into place.

            Ignorance of our connection with Nature can take many forms.  In past eras, people used to think that when things went bad, God was punishing them for something they did wrong. Today, most people think there’s no intelligence behind catastrophic “acts of God.” Why is it so hard to understand that being out of harmony with Nature could have adverse consequences?  When we breathe in an allergen, the natural reaction is to try to sneeze it out.  When dog has fleas, it tries to scratch them off.  The Earth is sneezing and scratching at its disharmonious parts.  You don’t have to be a dumper of toxic waste to get her attention either. 

            Mother Earth is no more merely rock and water than we are simply flesh and blood.  She’s an enlightened soul which constantly scans the surface of her body, our planet, for activity, attitude and intent.  She may seem to paint new pictures with a broad brush stroke sometimes. However, a harmonious relationship with our inner guidance along with a harmonious relationship with Nature will assure that we’re always where we need to be.

            When I picture faith in this connection and courage in the face of the cyclone of destruction, I imagine the most spiritual person I’m personally aware of, Drunvalo Melchizedek, sitting in a teepee with the flap open smiling as Nature blows debris and destruction all around him. I can see him closing the flap, and his little teepee hugging the ground as hurricane force winds blow all around him.  Maybe he’ll have a loved one or two in his little teepee who’ll have the blessing of seeing his total faith up close and personal. This isn’t a prediction.  It’s just the personal image I hold to remind me of what a good connection and faith in the Universe looks like.

            "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe'... He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness... Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of Nature in its beauty."  Albert Einstein

            Practice harmonizing with nature and the presence of the One Thing, and you’ll react right when the time comes.  In the meantime, don’t worry about the drop in magnetism, or the cyclone of world events, or the possible whirlwind of disappointing personal experiences around you.  Look for the beauty and order of nature.  Know that it’s there, no matter how hidden it is, and that everything is proceeding according to plan.  When you can see God in all people and situations without judging or second guessing his/her/its purpose, you’re ready to weather all the changes nicely in the peaceful eye of the storm.
