BEYOND IMAGININGS

Have you ever had coincidences occur in your life that had no explanation? Normally, you'd just shrug it off and put it in the back of your mind. Have you ever had such a deep, desperate need that maybe you said an intense, sincere prayer - and not long after, an answer was provided? Possibly it was in the form of a hug, or a listening ear - or maybe in the form of a financial gift, or a deed.

Grace has intervened, through the hands of a good samaritan, or through divine assistance. Grace is the virtue that allows us that span of time needed to revitalize our spirit, so that we regain the strength and composure to do what we sense we need to do. Grace is also a relentless power, an inner voice that we can rarely misinterpret; nor can we silence it. It is a force that works in tandem with our intuition steering us in the right direction.

Every living being is made up of energy, and all of this energy contains information - data broken down into internal and external messages that form energy impressions. A good example is when you first meet someone, and you immediately sense sincere friendliness, or conversely - a threat. These impressions are picked up by our intuition, which identifies and translates them through a kind of energy language - running them through seven translators or energy centers of our bodies - called Chakras.

"Waking the Global Heart chronicles the story of this passage. It takes the reader through an examination of three basic questions: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? The answers take us on a tour through 30,000 years of the human story ... "  

The following is an excerpt from an article called "Coming of Age In The Heart," also written by Anodea Judith, one of a number of articles she wrote and included on her website, www.sacredcenters.com   - - 

"We have been in the latter parts of the third chakra stage throughout this century. Issues of power and domination, energy and control are central concerns on our planet. We are technologically advanced, but our technology is also destroying the earth. Energy resources are a premium issue in power dynamics, such as the Persian Gulf War fought essentially over oil reserves. Much is out of balance, with the mind favored over the body, technology favored over ecology, white over black, male over female."
