Man in the Mirror PROJECT - The Story of Pinnochio

There was once a puppet, named Pinnochio, made by an Italian woodcarver who had strings attached to his arms and legs and relied on others to pull his strings in order for him to move.  His fondest wish was to become a real boy, instead of a boy that could only move by the strings attached to him.

For days and months the puppet was sad, for the only thing he could do was that which others wanted him to do.  They pulled and tugged at his strings, making him do things sometimes he didn't even want to.

Then a surprising thing happened.  A beautiful fairy appeared and offered Pinnochio his fondest wish - to become a real boy without strings.  She appointed Pinnochio with a friend to help guide him.  The friend's name was Jiminy, Jiminy Cricket.  Jiminy was to be Pinnochio's conscience and help him make the right choices during his life adventures.  Pinnochio would eventually earn the right to lose his strings with the help of his new friend.

*********************************************

We are all like Pinnochio.  We have created strings that hold us back, that attach us to things and people.  When we learn to master ourselves and trust our conscious (our inner guidance) we will be able to transcend our former selves just like Pinnochio did.  Entering into the realm of freedom where there are no strings that hold us back and our conscious is always our guide.

Twin Flames/Tales of Everyday Magic - Gregg Braden

A few years ago I had the honor of sitting in on a lecture by Gregg Braden.  Gregg is an author and has been one of the few who's interests lie in bridging the gap between our spirituality and science.  I've recently come across a project he is doing with Hayhouse Publishing about quantum entanglement.  The trailer and movie clip posted below shows more about what he is doing with the film he has entitled "Tales of Everyday Magic".

When we are speaking about twin flame soul mates, it has been in my direct experience that you often get glimpses of the others life, share emotions, and just "know" things about them or even just about their life.  Many years ago I even thought my twin flame soul mate could have been my twin from the womb and somehow we were separated, the connection was that strong.

Watch the clip below and you'll get a glimpse of not only twins, but what happens with twin flame soul mates as well.  Your essence and being are connected.  What one feels is often felt by the other as well.

Angels, Jesus, Mother Mary - Proof of the "Other Side"

Three wise men travel to see the birth
of a great king (Jesus) - How did they know?

Many of us may have been brought up to believe in the power of prayer.  We may go to church, pray, and leave sometimes cutting off the person we just prayed with.  Others may meditate, believe in a higher power, or don't believe in anything at all.

I used to question why I should believe in something I had no proof for.  Is it correct in believing in something just because someone taught you to?  Where is the history, the basis of belief?

Well when we talk about spiritual matters most often we are discussing things that only some at times have experienced.  The realm on the "other side" is not visible always in our three dimensional world.  But does this mean we don't have "others" that help us, or "angels" to guide us?

I believe the answer to that question is no.  Angels, friends and masters are always within reach to help us along our journey.  Sometimes it's only in the asking that we find that they are truly there.  Most of us tend to think of the now and what society currently believes.  Yet, should we dare travel through history we'll find some of the most miraculous evidence that not only angels but other spiritual beings exist as well.

Below you'll find some documentation of actual occurrences. There is some video footage of an angel caught on camera, for example, below.  Many times the lens of a camera is more sensitive than the lens of our eye.  It's not uncommon then for apparitions, lights and appearances to be found on film footage and photos.



Here three of the ascended masters pose with Madame Blavatsky, one of the first spiritual authors of the spiritual hierarchy teachings:

The Evolution of Consciousness; After Merging With a Twin Flame

What happens when we finally merge with our twin flame?  Do we disappear in the clouds and take the form of raindrops? Or is there still more learning, more unification, and more love to share?

Someone posted a comment yesterday that explains the evolution of consciousness and twin flames in a way that expands upon the whole idea of twin flames.  I do believe that the twin flame is not the end all.  There is always continual merging of consciousness on the road back to true wholeness.  We choose to work with others in our group through love and partnership.

I hope they don't mind that I post a portion of their comment here so we all can read and take notice of it.  The masters have echoed this same idea to me.  That we are creations upon creations.  I can try to elaborate, but the wording our reader has used I simply cannot improve upon:

"I also think many are seeking this experience of wanting to know who their Twin Flame is at this time. A friend of mine said this to me the other day which I thought was interesting. He was mainly talking about the Ascended Masters actually........

I also think that the concept of Twin Flames is misunderstood. These Gestalts are far beyond gender or, certainly, human form. These are Foci of Light and Love and Consciousness. There's no need for a "female"
Higher Being to be paired with a "male" Higher Being, because They are all androgynous, equally yin and yang. But Just as Sirius A and Sirius B revolve around each other in our firmament, certain Monads will work closely with certain other Monads and choose to BE with each other in Their spiral of return to the Creator of this particular Universe. It's a bond of Love and Partnership, and the two of Them would be aspect/fragments of a Greater Monad or Group Consciousness. You see, in evolution to higher levels of being, consciousness merges and merges and merges into greater and greater Gestalts of Consciousness, larger and larger Monads. Evolution is unification, and devolution is de-unification."

Thank you so much once again for this wonderful contribution!  Below are some definitions for some of the ideas presented above:

Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "unit" from μόνος monos, "alone"),^[1] according to the Pythagoreans, was a term for Divinity or the first being, or the totality of all beings,^{[citation needed]} Monad being the source or the One meaning without division.

Gestalt psychology or gestaltism (German: Gestalt – "essence or shape of an entity's complete form") is a theory of mind and brain of the Berlin School; the operational principle of gestalt psychology is that the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies. The principle maintains that the human eye sees objects in their entirety before perceiving their individual parts, suggesting the whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Twin Flames, Sex and Strings

At first glance the title of this post may seem a bit provocative.  In reality it has more basis in science than it does in anything else.

A few weeks ago I posted a story about a man who was in a coma.  While he was ill, he left his body and met several "spirits" on the other side that assisted with his healing.  He also witnessed a spectacular event in which he saw the faces of people who prayed for him and "strings" of light that went to his body.  The prayers people prayed for him were reaching him through strings of light.

With twin flames, telepathy is common.  Telepathy is the vehicle the twins can use to communicate.  This happens naturally because the twins were created out of the same soul - the same vibration.  If you were to view the telepathic communication in another dimension, you would also see strings of light going to and from the two souls.

When we make love with someone, we are consciously joining our energies together as well.  We form strings of attachment to that person by our sheer desire and wanting to be with them.  Much like a prayer, the thoughts we think go out to them.  If the want and desire is reciprocated the bond (strings of energy) grows stronger.  This explains why when some couples are married for a long time they begin to finish each others sentences, they know what the other will say before they say it.  They have merged their energy enough to be able to pick up on the "strings" formed between them still invisible to the naked eye.

With twins the bond is even stronger.  If one engages in any kind of merging or sexual activity that means that they are also forming "strings" of attachment with that person.  The surprising part of this is that as they form those string attachments with others, they are also felt by the twin.  Remember, the energy of the twins at the soul level resonates at the same frequency.  If you are developed enough to be in communion with a twin, you will be developed enough to pick up on their subtle energies as well.  When Michael was alive I could actually smell the hair of Lisa Maria Presley, and although that sounds strange, it was just one of those things I had to get used to.  It was part of our path and the discovery of the union.

So while I may talk about all these "strings", science has actually formed a theory, although as of yet I don't think they have made the correlation between us "new age" folk and scientific fact.  Below is a video that explains what they term as the "string" theory.  It is the scientific evidence that there are vibrating "strings" of energy in an alternate dimension that unifies us all.  This, if proven, would also prove the dimension in which the soul resides when it leaves it's body.  Another dimension, vibrating at a different level.

We are not just three dimensional beings, we are much more.  Healers practicing for thousands of years have known that all of our dimensions and energies work together. They are able to direct it, concentrate it and have an effect on our third dimensional world.  The fact that science is now catching up puts humanity on notice.  Things and people should never be taken just at face value.  There is much more to us all than we could possibly imagine.

The Science Behind Twin Flames

When I was growing up my father was a police detective, and as you might guess I inherited some of his traits.  I had always had psychic abilities, but always felt I needed to "look into" why I had them as well.

In the twin flame soul mate realm there really hasn't been much information available in the past.  I've come across books, experiences explained by others, and even channeled messages.  Everything, however, needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  For in every book, every writing and every message from spirit you have to take into consideration the person giving the information themselves.  They are human and being human we can very easily interject our own ideas and beliefs into our stories, our writings, and yes, even a channeling or psychic reading for that matter.  It's all a matter of our perception.

So as you might have guessed, I researched twin flames for quite some time.  I wanted to find something concrete because the relationship I seemed to be having was just too hard for me to believe to be true.  Why hadn't I heard about others?  Why weren't we taught about it?

Some months ago I happened upon some of the "scientific" information I was searching for.  Einstein used to call it "spooky action".  It's when two electrons that had been in connection with one another (like twin souls) split off and still remain connected.  The proof is that when one of the electrons changes it's spin, so does the other, no matter how far apart they are.  The scientific name for this is "quantum entanglement" and it explains the very source and magnetism of the twin flame soul mate phenomenon.  For when the soul spits, the two twins still remain connected.

See the video below for further explanation:

Man in the Mirror PROJECT - Shedding the Ego

"In order to be who you are, you must be willing to let go of who you think you are."

- Michael Singer

We all have preconceived ideas about who we "think" we are.  If I asked you who you were I might get the response that you are a salesperson, an accountant or in another part of the world, maybe a student studying medicine, a graduate of Walsh college, or a pre-med student.  Rarely do we dig deeper.  We most often have preconceived ideas about not only ourselves, but how we "fit in" with society as well.  Where do we belong?  What group do we belong in?  Am I a "rich" person, "wealthy", "poor", or "average"?

All of the above examples are boxes.  Unknowingly we put ourselves there, only with the intent to make sure the world knows we are "somebody".  Yet when we label ourselves we restrict the very essence of who we are as well.  When I reinforce the label that I am a poor, lonely white woman, with three kids and a dog, I can feel myself slouch in my chair and I'm not even a poor, lonely white woman with three kids and a dog!  Imagine if you thought this about yourself.  Imagine the effects the feeling it gives you could have on the rest of your life.  Michael said something many years ago to me that still sticks with me until this day.  He said "whatever enters the mind, the mind enters".  In other words, the thoughts you choose to believe your mind enters into, and hence becomes your reality.

In the movie, "What Dreams May Come", one of the main characters references that "they say we live in our minds anyway".  (You can view the clip on the "What is a twin soul" page).  This truly is a reality.  For every thought we think, we are perceiving our world.  The outside world - people, things, events and our inside world - how we feel, how we perceive ourselves and how we experience this earth life now.

When we identify with the thoughts about who we are, place ourselves in a box, we are continually creating something called the ego.  The ego is the part of us that makes us feel important, makes us feel small, makes us believe we are something most often because . . wait for it . . .wait for it . . . because we were fed it by society; e.g. rich, poor, middle class, single woman, black man, racist, church goer, etc. Fed it by your family; e.g. "She's the smart one.", "He's the *@ up one.", "He'll never get his act together", and/or believed by ourselves.  We have taken the outside stimulus and have interpreted it internally.  Our thoughts then are not necessarily true.  They are only thoughts about who we "think" we are based on our own perceptions, our own thoughts.

How then can we get this out of the way so our real selves, the bright, shiny part of us can emerge?  In essence the simplest way would be to stop thinking those thoughts.  Every time you find yourself identifying with a "label" internally or externally, stop yourself and be in the moment.  Open yourself up to experiencing the feeling of who you are or who you see as if it were the first time you happened upon you or happened upon another as a child.

There is a pen story they teach in yoga.  That when you look at a pen and the teacher asks what it is, you say "why it's a pen".  However, when you suppose you are dog and the dog looks at the pen it then becomes a chew toy.  For a monkey it might be a tool.  We are the ones who attach the labels and meaning to both objects, people and ourselves.  Listening and paying attention to what those thoughts are, where they came from, and how we feel about them, helps us break down the patterns of thoughts that limit our lives.  Meditation, a quieting of the mind, and presence of being are major components of listening inward.  The shedding of the ego can slip away like quick sand if you let your mind be and stop trying to label the outside forces that you "think" control your reality.  Our real reality lies within.  It's what we believe, what we think, and what our minds enter into.
