Our planetary system consists of many moons, suns, and beams of energy. We have been in this earth cycle for eons of time and it has given way to many life forms. History can show us the dinosaurs, amoeba, and other forms of early life. As life goes on, it progresses, our planetary progress, the progress of humankind is not much different.
The soul of man is not so much unlike the planet. It grows in nature, and evolves, just as evidenced in the early life forms and single cell amoebas. Sometimes we adapt as an animal may adapt to its habitat. Yet when we take our habitat into our own hands and don't accept responsibility for the damage we have done, we can cause not only other life forms, but ourselves great damage.
We live on the earth and whether or not anyone wishes to believe it, we do live WITH the earth. We get our only nourishment from earth. Our food grows in its soil, our water from its lakes and streams. We are subject to its storms, tides and floods, yet we continue to abuse her, use her and take her valuable resources perhaps not realizing the earths need for them.
As our planet is shifting in consciousness, so is the earth. As we are on a micro level, the earth is on a macro level. Our thoughts effect us and the consciousness, the combined thoughts of all, effect the earth. As that happens in us, you can also imagine might happen with our earth. If my thoughts internally change about myself I will sooner or later see the results out in my physical world. We too will see results on the physical earth plane from our collective consciousness.
We have two groups of people. Those that continue the patterns and cycles of what has been done for centuries and those as prophecized by the Native American Indians, the truth seekers and spiritual warriors. Our cycle brothers continue to use the earth and as they do they will be causing some damage to the planet. The plates have been shifting and governments have been predicting a wide range of unusual weather across the globe. What one does on one level, effects the others.
I was told some time ago that the drilling off the coast of China will be playing a part in some of this shifting. I'm not up on what they drill for, or how they do it, not even how deeply they go into the earths crust, but do we know enough to be drilling, to be abusing the planet for the sake of a dollar to know our habitat may no longer be here tomorrow?
Where ever and when ever you can, may we all be mindful that what we do not only affects others but also the planet that has given and SUSTAINS our life. One day we may wake up and say "What were we thinking?" It seems so obvious to take care of the place that nourishes us, but like so many other things it seems our human race has taken to it's individual selves in the quest for power and money. All at life's expense; our earth, our people, even the air we breath.
Our goal should be not to get caught up in the day to day outside quest that man has created. The wars that cause so much damage to everything are often created in the same mind and same mind structure as wars before. For control over another country and it's assets. Can we take a step back, can we look at a bigger picture? If we do we might realize the small and non issue taking over a country is. When we look at all things and consider our world as a whole, our decisions should be about life and the quality of life for all living beings - not control of another country, its people or money. Maybe it's time for spiritual leaders in our nations instead of hungry political ones. They may be our only saving grace.
All of the messages, the signs are there; are we listening?

There is a story of a pen in Buddhist tradition. The teacher places a pen before you and asks what it is. When you say its a pen, he or she describes that it is not a pen to a dog, and may be a toy for a child.
It is a lesson in emptiness. We all will put labels on things and with those labels we also place the associated attachments to them. If we are a wife, it means we are this, that and the other. If we identify someone as a nun, she is holy, good, and celibate. We make assumptions about what we label and assume others labels and definitions are the same as our own. They are not. It is evidenced all over the world. Peace for some maybe a quiet nights sleep. Holiness may be a miracle and war may be the only idea accepted for some to change things.
We box ourselves in according to these beliefs. We have picked them up from our society, our neighbors, our family, our friends. We stand alone in them, and sometimes solitary in our thinking of them, even combating ourselves with negative ideas about who we are. This is the real work of Man in the Mirror. What do you believe, what do you think, why do you think it and have you tested the theory to find out if it's true?
Blanket statements about others such as mothers are enduring, fathers are the protectors of the family contradict what is actually happening in society. Inside, we may feel less than because the definitions of father/mother don't coincide with what our experience has been. The same is true for every definition of ourselves and others we have placed in our minds. Our patterns, our thoughts are uniquely given to us, uniquely planted subconsciously even by the way we are made to feel. The two go hand in hand, so if I am told I am ugly, I also feel it. If I am told by society I am a cripple, I feel I am more than I did before I was told. Sometimes just a glance can transmit a feeling to individuals sensitive to others projections of thought.
All of these ideas, concepts and beliefs swirl around us like leaves blowing in the wind. They can make our minds busy all of the time and often block the light of our true selves from coming through. We become our worst enemies by repeating our beliefs about ourselves and who we are without even knowing it. We pull shades on the light of who we truly are because we have been told and believed we are less than for so long, it's simply not feasible to believe otherwise. How can I be so powerful when I FEEL so inadequate?
Natural diamonds
Imagine a diamond when it's found in it's natural state. They are rough and unpolished. The exterior boasts hard milky substance that must be cleared away to get to the true clear brilliance underneath. You are the same way. The thoughts you have created are the hard milky substance that surrounds you. The real you is the brilliant part inside. Bright and shiny, clear and perfect. To get to the real part of you, we must begin by noticing. Just noticing our thoughts for the next few days.
When you feel yourself getting irritated, upset, going to reach for that one more cookie, or feeling sad, sit in the emotion and dig deeper. Ask yourself why you feel the way you do:
Is it something someone said, someone did or something that happened?
Name the emotion you feel, then break it down further. If it's anger why are you angry? Is it because someone hurt your feelings, made you feel ashamed, jealous, rejected, abandon? Be honest with yourself and name it.
Now what is already in you is why this feeling has erupted. Inside you have connected your external experience with something, some pattern already within you. These are the first steps in identifying it. What is in you that made you feel the way you felt and why?
This is a for instance:
My day was going quite well. I went to the drugstore to buy milk and caught a elderly man briskly walking toward the refrigerated cases impatiently. I stepped aside and he forcefully opened the door extracting a gallon of milk for himself. I noticed I began to get angry. More so, I was irritated with his behavior. Who did he think he was barging into that space and making me feel as if I had to step aside to accommodate him?
Digging deeper I realize the man reminded me of an experience with another older man. He walked the same way, acted the same way, and I had reacted the same way. His actions made me feel as though I needed to change my actions to accommodate him. I had learned this from my family. If my father was angry, you learned very quickly to act a certain way. If you didn't, you would upset the family further and that would be a no no. Most likely this behavior and pattern came from his family upbringing and there in lies the cycle.
Now is the tricky part. Is this behavior correct? Our minds may go to a place of right and wrong, or acceptance or shrugging it off, but energetically this pattern has been established in our fields. Energetically this energy has created a little puddle of cloudy substance that has been over laid on our essence. We have diminished our worth because of the behavior of someone else. This does not resolve the issue in our feeling body, nor does it help the continued behavior of the person that has perpetrated or brought up the feeling within us. We can't change the person, but we can change ourselves and how we react to the person and the situation. When it happens again we get an opportunity to see how well we have done.
Play the scenario out in your head again:
Next time that happens I will . . . . .
When I begin to feel that emotion again, I'll know it's coming from . . . .
I will re-route my internal wiring and release the emotion by knowing it's only from . . . .
I deserve more freedom in my life from that emotion and no longer need to carry that type of energy with me.
Starting here we can begin to release some of the energies that have been stored for lifetimes in our energetic fields. If we remain conscious of how we feel and when it happens, we will be better able to grasp what it is we need to release. Sooner or later your hard milky substance will be gone and the bright shiny diamond you truly are will begin to emerge.
In the early seventies there was a TV show called the Jackson 5. One of the voices of one of the characters on the show had a very familiar voice. I didn't know how I knew the voice and wasn't sure if the voice even belonged to someone real. I watched every Saturday morning staring at this cartoon figure wondering why I felt as I did. My grandmother later teased me about liking the little black boy on the cartoon. It was my first indication that the little black boy was even real. I was six years old.
I had what I would call, or thought was, an imaginary friend at that time. Little things I would think and do, let me know that someone else was somewhere that I was thinking about. I would have to "tell him" about what happened that day or think wait until "he" finds out about this.
It wasn't until I was older and caught myself in conversations with what I thought was myself did things start to change. The conversations were about the world. What was happening and how sad it was that children were being abandon and killed all over the world. I cried myself to sleep most every night during this time, asking God why anyone would allow these things to happen.
I recognized Michael's voice again when I first heard the song "Rock with You". It wasn't just an odd moment, it literally hit me in my midsection sending me down to the floor. I had no idea what had hit me and vowed to find out who was behind the voice I was hearing.
Michael held the hope for me to heal our humanity. I had written him a letter very timely just before the release of "We Are the World". Our dreams, our conversations together, always involved healing something. He had a responsibility and an opportunity to use his status in society to make great change. I urged him to that and unbeknownst to me, so did another group I met later in my life called the Brotherhood of Light.
The Brotherhood of Light is a group of beings that help humanity as a whole. They are constantly working to our benefit and many times intercede on our behalf. But they can't always intercede and many times need willing souls to help them do their work on earth. It was during the nineties that I first encountered the Brotherhood. When I felt a presence at the end of my bed I asked who it was. I was told the following: "It is not I, it is we. When you think of yourself, think of us, When you think of us, think of yourself." or something to that effect. The jest being that whoever was doing the speaking wanted me to know they were all equals, that all of them, including myself were connected. This happened during a conversation with Michael and a request was made that we help them organize the consciousness of man. I agreed not knowing how I could help or even what that meant, but their presence, their light and humbleness made me feel a love and peace so great that I knew it was the right thing to do.
St Germain - Our twin ray endowing us with inspiration to make change for freedom for all people.
Michael and I tried many times since then to try and physically come together. We would stand right in front of each other sometimes looking at one another, but not be allowed to approach. I have to laugh, because many times we did laugh when we saw each other. I suppose if you watched us, you might have thought it was a game, but it wasn't. We incarnated here on earth with a purpose and that purpose was with the Brotherhood of Light.
During the path, however, it wasn't always that clear. I was confused and didn't think it was possible for someone to speak to someone else telepathically. No one, well I never heard of such a thing and thought it was crazy. I kept the secret close to my heart and when Michael finally told me his name and told me not to tell anyone, I laughed. Who would believe me anyway?
He was a dear friend, sometimes like a coworker in the light, sometimes like a brother, definitely a teacher, and even at times a lover and a father. Love comes in many forms and I think we may experience each level of love with our twins before we move to the next level. Many times we talked about getting married. Early on we thought it would be nice to adopt a child from every country, and have one of every color. It would be like our own world in a small little family. In the end, it was a home in Vegas where he could work steadily and have a normal life.
But having a normal relationship wasn't all of what I felt about Michael. At times I had asked him to teach me. He seemed so sure of our connection, showing up in place after place at each one of my requests, and I, still not believing it was him until it showed up on the news somewhere. In his mind it was real, and in mine I felt it impossible. Society had not taught us about such things, and for me, what would a pop star so famous want with me? He had his choice of a million women and it didn't make sense he would ever want anything to do with me.
I was told many times Michael had something to prove. He wanted to let me know it was real. Yet I had to come to that conclusion myself. I had to go through all the beliefs and patterns I had going on within myself to allow myself to believe that it was real and because of it, I also blocked most of my feelings about Michael out. I could not allow myself to feel something for someone I had no control over my emotions for. Yet that was just it. Because I didn't allow it, didn't mean they weren't there and I've had to work through all of that again since his passing.
We've been through many hurdles, and at one time I had said we needed the strength of an elephant to get through this. Little did I know even what I was talking about then, but in retrospect it is now all very clear. We have grown closer and have been able to continue our relationship even though he has passed. Something at times I think perhaps the Brotherhood has played a part in. We have both received counsel from an ascended master named Kuthumi and have been directed by Saint Germain. As I write this, I know how weird this might sound to some of you, but I ask that you keep an open mind.
We have been on this earth for a very long time. We have been in this habit of viewing our reality as something that has been dictated to us outside of ourselves. We have churches, we often pray, but few times do we believe our prayers are heard. Too few times do we speak about our father in heaven or the angels or wonderful parts of our souls that we almost seem to deny.
We watch the television for entertainment and are fed images in the public eye that seemingly tell us we need to be like "this" or "that" in order to be "normal" or to be "accepted".
I'm not one to put myself in that box anymore. It never worked for me, and I don't know about you but no matter how hard I try I'll never get that Kardashian butt or Farrah Faucet hair. Even if I did, tomorrow it would change. I'd be going on to find some new fashion, some new thing I needed to "be" for the rest of my life. My life would never be my own. I'd always be chasing someone elses dream. That's why Michael used to say "shine". We have to find our own dream, our own music and live the lives we choose. Not only that, but to achieve the purpose we were sent here to achieve. To come to terms with our true identity - our divine identity; not the one we have created on the outside.
And that brings me to our purpose and in the inspiration behind Man in the Mirror PROJECT. It's intent is to help you break down the patterns I had to once break down myself. To help you come to terms with your own divine self and see life differently. If we do this ourselves, we'll all be well on our way to making effective change in the world as well. If we shine our light long enough, it's bound to encourage others to do the same.
I decided to follow up the previous video with another snippet due to some recent experiences. Following is part 2 of Twin Flame Soul Mates from my YouTube channel:
Yesterday the room in my mind was dark. The curtains were closed and I sat on my couch thinking of how many bills I had to pay, how much I had to endure, how my friends betrayed me, how the dog peed on the carpet, again. I was sad and miserable. I couldn't find any reason to be happy. Life seemed cold. No one cared and I was alone.
Today I decided to change rooms. I went upstairs where the sun was shining through the windows so bright I had to squint my eyes. I laid on the floor, sprawling in the sun and feeling it's warmth. I closed my eyes. The heat relaxed me, the light engulfed me. I felt happy, blissful, and had not a care in the world. The sun embraced me and I felt its love. Life seemed happy. All of it was around me and life itself embraced me in love.
Deciding to change rooms is easy. Its only in the deciding that we become what we want in our life. Decide today to decorate the room of your dreams and feel the feeling of BEING in the life you have imagined. We are all a thought, a dream and a rhythm. We begin with one step, a change in tides, a change in current. Our thoughts, the vibrations, create the dreams we dream today to our reality of tomorrow.
"It is a rarity that one can say that they have met their twin flame soul mate. Some will incarnate on this earth only knowing deep within that they do have another part to themselves. Some will take the time to discover this other part in vast outreaches of silence and reflection.
It takes work and it takes a great deal of dedication on knowing oneself and the eathers to become whole. Who could say what the experience is unless you have traversed it? Difficult, demanding, opinionated people will never choose the path. You must be open, creative and in awe and wonderment of all of life.
Joining in your I AM presence, the space where twins unite, will be from reaching, wondering, and loving all of life. It's not just your twin, it's not just a lover, it's life itself, in it's eternal dance of creation.
Over and over again you are created out of the bliss. Over and over again the dance ensues. You are awakened slowly, you grasp the seed of hope and all of life begins to awaken around you. You are only sleeping. Not remembering who you are. Awaken now the child within you. The child that wonders at life. That wonders at love; who is not afraid to believe and has shed the garment of the ego. You are divine. You are love and for as long as life itself has existed you will eternally grope for the light until you learn to become one yourself.
Take the time to reflect. To open your heart and wonder at the beauty of who you are. It's not what you do, what you project to the world, or even how you feel. It's what you are made of - love.
Blessings to all,
Maurie D Pressman M.D." ** A special thank you to Maurie for his work on the other side and this side. For his leap of faith, counsel and friendship. Where there is love, there will always be love. Always, all ways and in all ways.
I often get glimpses into the life that Michael now leads on the other side. He has brought quite a few people for me to meet. Some I never knew he knew and others I completely forgot about. I found this heartwarming and kind of cool so although I don't usually post on the weekends I wanted to share.
During conversation I was presented with a gift. In it was a music box that when opened played a song. It was a duet. The duet was with Michael and Fred Astaire. I thought Fred only danced but it seems he likes to write music as well. Michael introduced me to him and I asked what his favorite part of being on the other side was. He quickly answered freedom: he said you can do whatever you want, whenever you want. I also asked if he had a home like michaels on the other side. He said he had a home, but home there can be created any way you want them to be. His sits among the hills in wooded mountains - someplace he said he always wanted to live.
