Mayan Elder, Carlos Barrios Explains 2012 and Mayan Calendar
By Earth Changes Media
Nov 5, 2009
Carlos Barrios, Mayan elder and Ajq'ij (a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide) of the Eagle Clan. Carlos initiated an investigation into the different Mayan calendars circulating.Carlos along with his brother Gerardo studied with many teachers and interviewed nearly 600 traditional Mayan elders to widen their scope of knowledge.
Carlos found out quickly there were several conflicting interpretations of Mayan hieroglyphs, petroglyphs, Sacred Books of 'Chilam Balam' and various ancient text. Carlos had some strong words for those who may have contributed to the confusion ---
Carlos Barrios: "Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It's just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed."
"We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth Changes."
He continues: "Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human. We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action."
Carlos tells us: "The indigenous have the calendars and know how to accurately interpret it -- not others. The Mayan Calendars comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles has proven itself to be vast and sophisticated. The Maya understand 17 different calendars such as the Tzolk'in or Cholq'ij, some of them charting time accurately over a span of more than ten million years.
"All was predicted by the mathematical cycles of the Mayan calendars. -- It will change --everything will change. Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator and the Earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy."
At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions.
Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the Earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration.
Carlos reminds us: "This process has already begun. Change is accelerating now and it will continue to accelerate. If the people of the Earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape without having destroyed too much of the Earth, we will rise to a new, higher level. But to get there we must transform enormously powerful forces that seek to block the way."
The date specified in the calendar Winter Solstice in the year 2012 does not mark the end of the world. Many outside people writing about the Mayan calendar sensationalize this date, but they do not know. The ones who know are the indigenous elders who are entrusted with keeping the tradition.
Carlos tells us: "The economy now is a fiction. The first five-year stretch of transition from August 1987 to August 1992 was the beginning of the destruction of the material world. We have progressed ten years deeper into the transition phase by now, and many of the so-called sources of financial stability are in fact hollow. The banks are weak. This is a delicate moment for them. They could crash globally if we don't pay attention. If the banks crash -- then we will be forced to rely on the land and our skills. The monetary systems will be in chaos, and we must then rely on our direct relationship with the Earth for our food and shelter."
The North and South Poles are both breaking up. The level of the water in the oceans is going to rise. But at the same time land in the ocean, especially near Cuba, is also going to rise.
Carlos tells a story about the most recent Mayan New Year ceremonies in Guatemala. He said that one respected Mam elder, who lives all year in a solitary mountain cave, journeyed to Chichicastenango to speak with the people at the ceremony. The elder delivered a simple, direct message. He called for human beings to come together in support of life and light.
"Right now each person and group is going his or her own way. The elder of the mountains said there is hope if the people of the light can come together and unite in some way. We live in a world of polarity -- day and night, man and woman, positive and negative. Light and darkness need each other. They are a balance."
"Just now the dark side is very strong, and very clear about what they want. They have their vision and their priorities clearly held, and also their hierarchy. They are working in many ways so that we will be unable to connect with the spiral Fifth World in 2012."
"On the light side everyone thinks they are the most important, that their own understandings, or their group's understandings, are the key. There's a diversity of cultures and opinions, so there is competition, diffusion, and no single focus."
Carlos believes the dark side works to block unity through denial and materialism. It also works to destroy those who are working with the light to get the Earth to a higher level. They like the energy of the old, declining Fourth World, the materialism. They do not want it to change. They do not want unity. They want to stay at this level, and are afraid of the next level.
The dark power of the declining Fourth World cannot be destroyed or overpowered. It's too strong and clear for that, and that is the wrong strategy. The dark can only be transformed when confronted with simplicity and open-heartedness. This is what leads to unity, a key concept for the World of the Fifth Sun.
Carlos said the emerging era of the Fifth Sun will call attention to a much-overlooked element. Whereas the four traditional elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water have dominated various epochs in the past, there will be a fifth element to reckon with in the time of the Fifth Sun --- that element is 'ETHER'.
The dictionary defines Ether as a "hypothetical substance supposed to occupy all space, postulated to account for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through space." Perhaps it could be defined as the "space between space". I would suggest it could be manifest as the alignment of charged particles from our solar system (Sun), and our galaxy (Milky Way) surge.
"The element of the Fifth Sun is celestial. Within the context of Ether there can be a joining of the polarities. No more darkness or light in the people, but an uplifted unity. But right now the realm of darkness is not interested in this. They are organized to block it. They seek to unbalance the Earth and its environment so we will be unready for the alignment in 2012."
"We need to work together for peace, and balance with the other side. We need to take care of the Earth that feeds and shelters us. We need to put our entire mind and heart into pursuing unity and unity now, to confront the other side and preserve life."
"We are disturbed -- we can't play anymore. Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action. Everyone is needed. You are not here for no reason. Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard but a special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be ready for this moment in history."
Carlos says: "The prophesied changes are going to happen, but our attitude and actions determine how harsh or mild they are. We need to act, to make changes, and to elect people to represent us who understand and who will take political action to respect the Earth."
"Meditation and spiritual practice are good, but also action. It's very important to be clear about who you are, and also about your relation to the Earth. Develop yourself according to your own tradition and the call of your heart. But remember to respect differences, and strive for unity. Eat wisely --- a lot of food is corrupt in either subtle or gross ways. Pay attention to what you are taking into your body. Learn to preserve food, and to conserve energy. Learn some good breathing techniques, so you have mastery of your breath. Be clear. Follow a tradition with great roots. It is not important what tradition, your heart will tell you, but it must have great roots."
"We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything -- people, plants, animals. This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element 'ether' -- the realm where energy lives and weaves. Go to the sacred places of the Earth to pray for peace, and have respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work."
"One simple but effective prayer technique is to light white or baby-blue colored candles. Think of a moment in peace. Speak your intention to the flame and send the light of it on to the leaders who have the power to make war or peace."
Carlos reminds us this is a crucially important moment for humanity and for Earth. Each person is important. He said the elders have opened the doors so that other races can come to the Mayan world to receive the tradition. "The Maya have long appreciated and respected that there are other colors, other races, and other spiritual systems. They know that the destiny of the Mayan world is related to the destiny of the whole world."
"The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way."

Thanks, Steven!
One might ask themselves, how are we as a race to progress in face of the strong hold that the "dark oligarchy" has on the world system? As the below article makes clear, they are far too entrenched to be "defeated".
Ours is not to "defeat" them. That's just silly. (How can one hope to overcome an enterprise that is hundreds of thousands of years in the planning and making? Yet also, how are we to "come together in unity" to reach our ultimate destination? )
The dark oligarchy, their plans and their aspirations will crumble along with the current world systems upon which they have relied for millennia. There is no need to defeat them, nor is there the need to attempt such a counterproductive initiative. Leave them alone. Their fate is sealed. Let us not become a part of their fate by giving them so much of our mental energy via fear, anger, worry, or anxiety.
Again, simplicity is key.
The idea that there needs to be some conscious campaign toward the unity of us all, while conceptually sound, may tempt us to rely upon the group consciousness paradigm which is now passing away as a primary means of achieving this unity. This approach is misguided.
Rather, by reaching into our own individual internal connectedness with source - each of us on an individual and unique basis (following our own hearts in true acceptance of ourselves, our own individual sovereignty as agents of source, and similarly embracing that the same dynamic exists within each of us, i.e. embracing each person's path as valid and sovereign) - we automatically harness the unity that already exists.
Yes, this sounds counter-intuitive. Yes, this is a different message than the new world order, many religions, and even many new age disciplines have taught us. But it is the only way. Attempting to recognize and embrace everyone and everything into our thinking as valid in a move to "create unity" will create chaos instead. The dark oligarchy is counting on this.
Each of us is our own authority. Each of us is our own window of source. This is not a paradigm of separateness, but rather the quintessential expression of the infinite diversity of source. It is by fully embracing this diversity that we connect with the already existent unity of all things and all people.

I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid more accessible to loosen my heart, until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance to live so that which came to me as a seed, goes to the next as a blossom, and that which came to me as a blossom, goes on as a fruit.
~ Dawna Markova ~ www.dawnamarkova.com
Love Versus Fear There are really only two emotions/energies in the Physical Universe - those being love and fear. All other emotions/ energies are just variations on these two primary states of emotion/energy. Love is the emotion/energy associated with a 'knowing' that everything in the Universe is an expression of a singularity (i.e. Source) and is therefore interconnected, whereas fear is the emotion/energy underlying the perception (i.e. illusion) of being separate from Source. The following article compares these two states of consciousness.
Love is an expression of the Oneness that underlies all reality associated with a deep felt knowing that everything is an expression of Source and that nothing (no-thing) can exist outside Source. By contrast, fear is rooted in the illusory perception of separation that pervades the Physical Universe.
Love expresses itself as an urge towards unity, whereas fear is a result of the perception of dis-unity that is part and parcel to the game of separation that defines the Physical Universe. (i.e. The 'them' versus 'me' syndrome associated with the isolation currently experienced by most humans)
Love is rooted in a state of ' knowing ', whereas fear is based entirely upon ' beliefs', most of which are false.
Love knows the difference between 'knowing' and 'believing', whereas fear is unaware of the difference and believes they are one and the same. Love knows that existence is eternal and that 'time' is an illusion. Fear believes 'time' is real and as such is only aware of the temporal nature of physical existence.
Love recognizes the perfection underlying all processes in the Universe, whereas fear thinks the Universe is imperfect.
Love knows that the Universe is in a perfect state of balance and that all the circumstances a Being finds itself in have been created entirely by that Being for the purpose of experience. As such, love knows that the Universe is perfectly safe, whereas fear perceives potential threats all around it and believes the Universe to be unsafe.
Love knows that physical death is simply a change of state, that consciousness is eternal and as such survives physical death. Fear believes death is final and that consciousness ceases upon death. Love welcomes physical death as an old friend because it knows existence is the never-ending evolution of consciousness and that 'death' is a return to a more authentic state of consciousness. Fear is terrified of death and will do almost anything to avoid it, including the killing of other Beings in order to perpetrate its perception of existence.
Love knows that everything in the Universe is an expression of Itself and that so called 'enemies' are just aspects of Itself mirroring facets of its psyche (i.e. Soul) that need to be addressed and healed through the process of unconditional love and acceptance. Love knows that at a higher level of existence all enemies are really just loving friends acting out a role in Love's play for the purpose of experience. By contrast, fear believes its enemies are truly separate Beings bent on harming it.
Love knows that 'true' love is unconditional, meaning it judges nothing (no-thing). Love knows that "conditional love" is by definition an oxymoron. Fear expresses an emotion called "conditional love" believing it to be "love", but it is not.
Love is an expression of Truth, whereas fear is the result of Illusion (i.e. Maya). fear could be correctly described as being "False Expectations Appearing Real".
At its essence, Source is love and as such love is the only 'real' (authentic) energy in the Universe. All else is just illusion (Maya) associated with the game of separation that defines the physical Universe.

11:11 is said to be a pre-encoded trigger placed in our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which when activated, signifies that our time of completion and ascension is near. It is believed that one knows when this particular gateway opens for them by continually seeing the numbers 11:11 in their every day lives as a continuous ocurrence. Activation of other gateways may be symbolized by other digits. You will experience a sudden awakening after which reality is never the same. You are going to create clarity, healing and balance for yourself. Do not expect others in your life to be on this journey with you. It is yours alone as it is for most souls. You will have to seek new friends of like mind who are also being triggered by the digits. Once you open the Digital Door, there is no going back. Your soul will automatically and quickly move you from level to level of experience until you 'get it'. Your consciousness is expanding and therefore you will, manifest faster and with greater comprehension, becoming more aware of the meaning of synchronicities that will become more and more frequent. They are created by your soul creates to help you remember that you are a soul spark in a physical program that is about to end, evolve back to higher consciousness. What is the 11:11? 
A TRIGGER OF REMEMBRANCE:
For many years the numbers 11:11 have been mysteriously appearing to millions of people all over the world. Often appearing on digital clocks, the sightings of 11:11 tend to occur during time of heightened awareness, having a most powerful effect on those seeing them.
Each time we see the numbers 11:11, our cellular memory banks are further activated. There's a stirring deep inside, a hint of remembrance of something long forgotten. The appearance of 11:11 is a powerful confirmation that we are on the right track, aligned with the Greater Reality.
Repeated sightings of 11:11 have happened to millions throughout the world. Many want to know why this is happening? What does the 11:11 signify?
When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Greater Reality.
The 11:11 is an insertion point
for the Greater Reality
to enter the present moment.
When this happens, it is time to stop whatever you are doing and LOOK LARGER. A transfer is in position.
You can enter the Greater Reality and travel deeper into the Invisible. You can seed a long held desire, receive a vision, ask for help in some specific area of your life or simply feel the Invisible insert itself into the present moment. The revelations you receive will not come in the form of mental concepts. Rather, it will be an enhanced state of being in which you will see everything as if with new eyes. A deeper understanding of what is truly real will surround you. 
The appearance of 11:11 is an always beneficial act
of Divine Intervention.
It tells you that it is time to take a good look around you and see what is real and what is illusory. It's time to pierce the veils of illusion which keep us bound to an unreal world. You have been chosen, because you are ready, to step into a Greater Reality. To lead the way for others into a new way of living, into a Greater Love. To ascend from duality into Oneness.
The 11:11 is the bridge
between duality and Oneness.
It is our pathway into the Unknown 
11:11 Transmission of Light Codes
11:11 is a number activation sequence. When you see the numbers 11, 111, or 1111 on your digital clock you are given that moment to focus your energy and drop into a space of manifestation. It acts like a doorway, a gateway or a portal into the higher realms of manifestation. It is good to just stop what you are doing and take that minute to hold higher thoughts on what it is you want to bring forth in your life, as the intent you put forth will be amplified. Eleven is a number of masters.
Shapeshifter prepares to receive these waves of sonic transmissions from the 11:11 gateway by first preparing the body temple and energetic fields to receive this information in the form of higher vibrational frequencies, awakening their DNA to be a receiver/transmitter of multidimensional information through sound. Deep meditation is next, followed by sitting at the keyboard, opening to the Muse. Allowing the SOUNDS to rise up into awareness. Reaching out, intending their directions, following the points of Light, making the connections -- hooking up to the GRID. As transmissions begin to stream forth -- pulses, vibrations, streams of energy flow, guiding us to move our hands and fingers in a graceful dance of movement, turning knobs, modulating pitches, peaking and transforming amplitude; the rhythm takes over, we blend and merge with the flow of the Tonal, we connect to the Universal consciousness and become ONE with ALL THAT IS. We are tactile, we are the SOUND. Energy flows, gateways appear, we are spinning, spiraling, diving deep within the cosmos, communing with scalar fields and biophotons, activating the divine gnosis, talking to alien holograms, connecting with future and probable selves. Seeing and feeling merge in the sacred geometrics of the MATRIX. Hours pass away in minutes. We emerge from this space tranformed, enlivened, awakened, in bliss.....transmission received.
It is recommeded to start the CD playing at 11:00 and then by 11:11 you will be passing through wormholes, vortexes, gateways into parallel Universes.

The intention of this article is to enlighten and spread awareness, not to offend. Fear of the unknown is the leading cause of separation and judgmental attitudes. However, reaching out and exploring the unknown in love may just suprise you in what you learn. Naturally, the intentional spiritual path you've chosen is indeed your choice -- living by the Freewill Principle. When we respect and honor each other, we live in harmony with a unified mindset. I'm Not Religious!
What amazes me is that some people will say that they are not religious, just spiritual, yet cling on to the traditions, dogmas or messenger from a particular religion. Not to pick on "Christians" (since I once considered myself with that "label"), but saying you are spiritual, yet still believing that "Jesus" is your savior and that the Bible is the only true word of God - still follows the logic that you are a Christian, which is indeed a religion - thus religious. The same of course could be said for any follower of Agnosticism, Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Muslim, Wiccan, etc. These too are "labels" that have so many interpretations and boundaries.
So exactly why do people not wish to be called or referred to as "religious" - most likely it's because it comes with the connotation that you may be over zealous in defending what you hold to be your Truth, and will argue with others about what is true or not, without realizing that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs as well.
The "my God" is the only true god syndrome has caused more anguish, killing, wars and arguments than any other subject - besides maybe politics. Speaking of which, let's go back to the statements made by George W Bush in 2003 - God told me to invade Iraq.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bush-god-told-me-to-invade-iraq-509925.html
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/10/07/MNGNVF3SFM1.DTL
See what religions do - the war for peace mentality, when in reality, this is simply a continuation of divide and conquer = for control
Most people do not truly understand that war is a highly profitable business and the winners are those who care nothing about anyone except for their own gain and control. Read the small book 'War is a Racket' here: www.warisaracket.com
Which, if any, of the 10,000 world religions is the true one? -- enlightening article: http://www.religioustolerance.org/reltrue.htm
But you already know! Yet you don't want to know the Truth, you want to know the truth as you understand it. This is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment. You think you already know the truth! You think you already understand how it is. So you agree with everything you see, hear or read that falls into that paradigm of your understanding, and reject everything which does not. And this you call learning. This you call being open minded. Alas, you can never be open to anything new, so long as you are closed to everything save your own Truth.
Let's consider this approach -- celebrating the differences in people while viewing everyone through the eyes of oneness nurtures powerful connections and creates a plane of existence where everyone is mutually supportive and respectful. When we replace this spirit of separateness with compassion, much of the friction in human relations will disappear. When we realize that we all are one, then there will be no impulse to jealousy and no room for conflict. There will be no inclination to like or dislike people; everyone will be regarded with the eyes of compassion and love ~ Neale Donald Walsch "Souls don't have races or sexes or religions. They are beyond artificial divisions" ~ Brian Weiss Intolerance of differences always exists in people who don't know who they are, people who don't have a strong sense of their own authentic self, the soul within. Intolerance is rooted in fear. The basis for having a strong sense of self-esteem is to replace our unconscious idea of basic unworthiness with a conscious knowing of our fundamental inherent goodness. As Matthew Fox states in "Original Blessing", the notion of 'original sin' must be replaced with the truth of 'original blessing' Being in touch with our essential goodness, we can see the essential goodness in others as well. "Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite" ~ Paul Ferrini So what is the answer? You instinctively already know. Yet, with years of programming, many have been conditioned and feel they must give their power away. They need a savior or some messenger or religious icon that they can "hang their hat on" Spirit - the life force exists in everything. It follows, then, that ANY path, any encounter is spiritual if we have the awareness to see it as such. Going deeper, going higher, emptying, connecting, believing or disbelieving, bouncing off the bottom, experiencing the heights, in pain, in ecstasy. Too often, we search afar for our own purpose when it is IN our lives all the time, waiting for us to express it more openly. Bring greater awareness to each encounter and situation in life. Tune IN to what you are inspired to do, who you are inspired to be. Your answers are waiting for you to pay attention - every moment! Peace is truly found within. "He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye" ~ Siddhārtha Gautama Check out the articles I share in the Blog: Taking our Power Back, ~ask Self these questions ~ and Are YOU, your Name? Continued blessings in your path to Self discovery! Steven
p.s. If anyone was offended by the words "programming" or "conditioning", please read this:
The Story of the 8 Monkeys (this is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the UK): Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder. One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder. All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why. However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder. A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey. One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water.
None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why. Sometimes, this feels like life. People just accept the status quo as truth because others are seemingly doing the same, without knowing why they do that. They are not quite sure whether what they have been doing all along can be improved or changed. They may even say it's the policy or a matter of public opinion. At times, it feels it's just the standard practices that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Nothing else. Then if someone ask questions that are too far out of the comfort zone, that someone is ridiculed and scorned. All they did was ask a simple question that the others did not wish to think about. Just like the new monkey, who has no any idea why.
"Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections" ~ Katherine Paterson

Are YOU, your Name?
Of course you aren't... You are a spiritual energy Being
and you are simply "known as" whatever your proper name is (the first name)
the family name (last name) can also be changed - by marriage or legal
it is not truly yours, but of a family or of a clan
The "Name" can be changed or people can refer to you by a nickname, etc
So why do people so identify with their Name?
Especially when it comes to legal and financial matters, there is so much ignorance of what is going on, that is how the "controllers" have taken away our power
People don't truly realize their power ~ We are energy ~ We are creators ~
For example: the word "signature" is derived from "sign" (of your) "nature"
When someone writes out a signature in a financial transaction, they are creating.... credit -- their own credit. Not the banks! The banks truly need our energy, our signature to create "money", so they may literally "lend" it back to us. Huh? There are many verifiable resources on this: www. webofdebt. com is a real good one
As we continue TAKING OUR POWER BACK, here is more info. for you
Maxim of Law -- Law of Like kind
Disparata non debent jungi = Unequal things ought not be joined
Therefore: paper to paper, flesh to flesh, but NOT paper to flesh
paper = corporations; flesh = man/woman
How did they get a man/woman to interact with a corporation?
They created a legal entity and called it the PERSON. Thus, the all capital Name i.e. STEVEN SMITH vs. Steven Smith

~ask Self these Questions~
Get a strong microscope and look VERY carefully at the SIGNATURE line of a bank check. It is not what you think it is! It says MP next to it and that stands for Micro Print. The "line" is actually one continuous small repetition of the words AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE ONLY. Again, this is conversion because the bank corporation cannot conduct commerce with a live man/woman, only the PERSON.
~AWARENESS IS POWER ~ STRENGTH IN UNITY ~ LOVE IS ALL WE NEED ~

Some thought provoking questions to ask Self...."Taking our Power Back"...
Rather than repeating vital info and for simplicity sake, please take the time to read the first blog article here: Taking our Power Back
What labels do I identify myself with? or How do I describe myself?
Let's first start by stripping away any of the labels that may identify with Self .... your name, sister, brother, daughter, son, mother, father, wife, husband, partner, employee, boss, manager, president, vp, ceo, professor, doctor, attorney, actor, marketer, author journalist, pastor, therapist, carpenter, plumber, etc.; any social status, political party and religious affiliation, any other status or "Identity" label such as liberal, conservative, vegan, vegetarian, atheist, activist, etc. and finally, you clear it all all out of your mind.....then ask yourself... what is left??
Next, if global peace is NOT truly amongst my personal top priorities, how can I possibly complain about peace not already being a reality?
For those that have not investigated this website, it's definitely a must read for anyone who considers themselves a peacemaker: http://www. warisaracket. com
"Peace begins with a smile" &
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" ~ Mother Teresa
"All you need is love" ~ John Lennon
Then ask this question, is life on "Earth School" voluntary?
Many recognize that life on planet earth is like going to school. So, how did I get enrolled in "Earth School?" Evidently it's an evolutionary process - I had to grow and develop myself in order to QUALIFY to be here. And then it makes sense that I always have the opportunity to learn from each experience.
Now let's find out by asking some other quantifying questions. Here are some financial questions to help pierce the corporate veil.
Am I absolutely sure that I own my house, car and most everything in my wallet?
Once I start asking the correct questions, I will "see" that it is indeed an illusion. Hint: go watch the movie: "The Matrix" again. For example, most everything except the photos, business cards, etc. in the wallet can be taken away, so what is truly mine? The drivers license was state issued, the credit/debit cards were bank issued and the insurance cards, etc.
How about the money? Does it have my name on it? No. In America, printed on the currency is Federal Reserve Note - which by the way, the Fed is a private corporation. In Europe, it displays the European Central Bank. Actually all of the country currencies are instruments of debt. Yes, we are all just exchanging debt. We are "paying" for things with more debt, and the national debt is accumulating interest at a mind boggling rate that is all paid to the private banking cartels for the privilege of using their currency.
"Let me issue and control a Nation's money and I care not who makes its laws"~ Amsel (Amschel) Bauer Mayer Rothschild, 1838
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits"~ SIR Josiah Stamp, (President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain)
"The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world"
~ Carroll Quigley (historian and professor of history at Georgetown University and consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration, which went on to establish NASA)
Who holds the title to my house/land, car?
If it is under procedural / legal title? (then it is for the persons - legal entities {fiction/form} - then the state owns it)
If it is under substantive title? (then it is for the man/woman - natural essence/substance...then I own it)
The State actually only has plausible title, because they DO NOT have possession, however most do not know that the Courts are set up as corporation profit centers/banks and by deceit and trickery they (attorneys) use legal jargon - word trickery in attempts to steal the labor of man.
persons/corporations - fictions - paper - form - dead
man/woman - living beings - essence - substance - alive
For validation - refer to the oldest law dictionary you may find. Note, the newer ones have had key phrases conveniently omitted.

Segment 3 of the movie "Zeitgeist" explains who really is running the show - the elite banking families and their "Ring of Power" running this world is actually located in three city district states: City of London, Washington D.C and Vatican City. Each has their own flags, their own coat of arms/seals and their own banks. There are no other districts like this and they coordinate all of the ruling powers for their respective interlinked empires
FINANCIAL EMPIRE http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/City_of_london
MILITARY EMPIRE http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Washington_D. C.
RELIGIOUS EMPIRE http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Vatican_city
So now ask this question, do I really believe that the "big money" corporations actually allow the people to select a president to run their governing body corporations that from the "face" appear to be our governments?
Yes, all countries are run by and as corporations.
Can I be a citizen of a corporation?
Does it make sense for me to vote then? Am I merely voting for the "lesser of two evils"? Will I just be participating in what amounts to be just a poll rather than a true vote? … and is that my intention, to keep this endless fraudulent cycle continuing?
Side note: why is a former President kneeling before the Queen of England to get knighted? Who is really in charge here?
Order of the Garter is the core of the Committee Of 300 (aka Olympians). Queen Elizabeth II is the leader of this organization.
Its members include most if not all of the royal British family along with, many peers of the realm including Lord Rothschild, as well as other European nobility, and a slew of other wealthy individuals scattered across Europe and America.
These elite own businesses on every level, especially the oil and banking industry. George Herbert Walker Bush became a member and was knighted by the Queen on December 20, 1993, as a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath
This was for his leadership in the Gulf War, when he sent American solders to die for England's interest of their petroleum in Kuwait. General Colin Powell and General Norman Schwarzkopf were given also lower order of knighthoods. By the way, Prince Charles Coat of Arms has another symbol--The Order of the Garter. The Order of the Garter is the parent organization over Free Masonry, world-wide. When a man becomes a 33rd Degree Mason, he swears allegiance to that organization, and thereby to Prince Charles.
Have I taken the time to research the agenda of the ultra-rich "wannabe world controllers"?

Am I truly free if I'm paying 1/3 or more of my hard earned labor in taxes + other hidden taxes too ??
"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue" ~ Thomas Paine
"The power to tax is the power to destroy"~ John Marshall
"The income tax created more criminals than any other single act of government"~ Barry Goldwater
Okay then, what is the solution?
Once humanity figures out that this life is totally voluntary and then as a majority we don't support the corporate system - don't vote for the corporate governments, don't show up for the corporate profiteering wars, etc. - then we will have taken our power back.
Meanwhile, we TOGETHER need to focus our energies on the positive path so others will start following that lead – that energy.
Fear is derived from living life in and under the bondage of another's truth and control. Love removes that grip and brings about peace, balance, harmony and unity.
"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth" ~ Albert Einstein

"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; "global peace and unification." But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, "LOVE". Let love abide"~ Philip D. Brown

Only you can Free Your Mind and Empower Yourself. No one else can help you make the transition, from a slave minded PERSON to a Free Minded Man or Woman. While you listen, carefully read the lyrics below! Supertramp - The Logical Song
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
and all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
"The Logical Song" was written by Roger Hodgson, and as he relates, was a very personal lyric for him: "You can't preach to people, but you can stimulate their thoughts, and I think that this song does do that. I hate to use the word 'message,' but the thought here is that throughout childhood you are told so many things, and yet you are never told who you really are; you are not told anything about your real self. Very rarely, anyway. We are taught how to function outwardly, but not told who we are inwardly, and no one explains it to us."
This is a continuation of the "TAKE OUR POWER BACK" series and absolutely applies for ANYONE that lives in a "country" that uses the Roman alphabet.
Most people do not realize that most cities are actually INCORPORATED -- yes, governments that are operated as and by a corporation. Since MySpace is based in The City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles and State of California, I will use these as examples. All of these are set up as corporations. So too is one of my favorite cities, Paris, France.
All counties, provinces, states, and districts are set up as corporations and so is the "federal government" as well. The U.S., Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, etc. are all operated by a government that is a CORPORATION. This easily proven by simply looking at their statutes or codes. While their interests are supposed to be for the people first, yet with big money influences - other corporations, the world leaders most often do what is best for their own corporate interest first before doing what is right by the people. Why is this? Simple answer is greed, power and control.
Do you recall this line below in the movie, "The Interpreter"? (starring Nicole Kidman & Sean Penn). Well, the truth is often revealed in movies, just people don't see or hear it for what it's sharing. A great example of an allegory movie was "Wizard of Oz" – read this link: freedom school .."Wizard of Oz.." pdf
"Despite all the flags on First Avenue, there are no nations any more, only companies - international companies. lt's where we are. lt's what we are". -- Kuman-Kuman to Sylvia Broome in the movie "The Interpreter" in reference to the United Nations on First Avenue at 46th St. in New York. ... incidentally, the tagline for the film: The truth needs no translation.
Actually the way the world has been set up it is all about Commerce and the attorneys use Conversion -- which by definition is "altering its nature". This is exactly how the world elite control and have taken away people's freedom and status as a free man or woman (sovereign).
People have unknowingly signed documents and by the process of conversion, declared their status to be a PERSON...thus from a living being to a corporate entity.....from man/woman to a PERSON. Conversion using admiralty laws so all is in commerce. PERSON in their codes and statutes is a legal entity.
For example: Conversion from Steven Smith (living being) to STEVEN SMITH (legal entity). Smith is actually just the family name, not your name. What has happened is the NAME is used along with the birth date to capture jurisdiction and you're being asked to "volunteer" as a indentured slave person.
Look at the state issued drivers license, passport, any and all commercial invoices, bills, plane tickets, etc. all have the Legal Entity. It all relates in the conversion to PERSON. For example, people sign forms that state they are a "U.S. Person". Huh? The U.S. is a corporation, not a country by definition. So ask yourself how can you be a Citizen of a Corporation?
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !

| "Taking our Power Back": Ending the programmed reality- shift happens!
http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/dicke3.htm
(Running Time = 61 mins) EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!!
...then to connect the dots further, listen to the great "wakeup" song by Rodger Hodgson (Supertramp lead singer) and concentrate on what he is sharing in the lyrics :)
Hide In Your Shell Lyrics
Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker
Too Frightening to listen to a stranger
Too Beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too Frightening- the fire's getting colder
Too Beautiful- to think you're getting older
You're waiting for someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let teh tears...
... just let me know
I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen, you can
Trust me,
There's a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you're alone
Hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
cos all your troubles are within you
please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
Why must we be so cruel, oh so cruel,?
Oh, we're such damn fools...
The choice is now yours. It has always been.
Will you stop being frozen in fear and locked into that frequency?
Choose love and let love abide.
Make it your intention and start taking your power back.
Love - The Spiritual Path that has no name, number, colour, race, creed, sexuality - just the unique blend of who and what each and every one of us is on this miraculous journey through the life we chose this time, at this moment, in this reality and with this understanding. Music, without it, the Soul feels empty. Touch, without it we are nothing. If we can't touch each other at the Soul level then we are in a desert - lost. Faith, it doesn't have a name but just is, the faith to know I am on the right path.

1. Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? 2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully. 3. Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something encouraging to someone. 4. Refuse to talk negatively about others; Don't gossip and don't listen to gossip. 5. Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can. 6. Keep an open mind; Discuss, but don't argue. (It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.) 7. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse. 8. Let your virtues speak for themselves. 9. If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what is being said; If so, make changes; If there is no truth to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will believe the negative remark. 10. Cultivate your sense of humor; Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. 11. Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; Do not seek so much to be understood, as to understand; Do not seek so much to be loved as to love. shared by: www.myspace.com/humanityhealing http://www.humanityhealing.net

These 13 suggestions for ethical behavior and spiritual progression are based on principles which operate throughout the universe. Some people call them Universal laws. When you reach the point in your life when you begin to take notice of these inviolate rules and consciously apply them, you begin to notice changes in your awareness, in your sense of fulfullment, satisfaction, and peace. You will also notice material and spiritual rewards coming to you in greater abundance. When you follow these spiritual Rules of the Road for Life's Journey, you will find yourself in harmony with the Voice of the Creator and life will flow through you like a river. Christ was able to distill a fair share of the ideas embraced here when he laid out the principle of Golder Rule: "Do unto others as they would do unto you" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Jesus didn't do such a bad job expanding these concepts with the Beatitudes either. Print this list out and tape it to your refrigerator or slip it into a page protector and put it somewhere where you and other people will notice it and read it. Daily reminders are the best way to adopt new patterns of behavior....Ken from http://educate-yourself.org/mbc/
Principles of Spiritual Activism The following principles emerged from several years' work with social change leaders in Satyana's Leading with Spirit program. We offer these not as definitive truths, but rather as key learnings and guidelines that, taken together, comprise a useful framework for "spiritual activism." 1. Transformation of motivation from anger/fear/despair to compassion/love/purpose. This is a vital challenge for today's social change movement. This is not to deny the noble emotion of appropriate anger or outrage in the face of social injustice. Rather, this entails a crucial shift from fighting against evil to working for love, and the long-term results are very different, even if the outer activities appear virtually identical. Action follows Being, as the Sufi saying goes. Thus "a positive future cannot emerge from the mind of anger and despair" (Dalai Lama). 2. Non-attachment to outcome. This is difficult to put into practice, yet to the extent that we are attached to the results of our work, we rise and fall with our successes and failures—a sure path to burnout. Hold a clear intention, and let go of the outcome—recognizing that a larger wisdom is always operating. As Gandhi said, "the victory is in the doing," not the results. Also, remain flexible in the face of changing circumstances: "Planning is invaluable, but plans are useless."(Churchill) 3. Integrity is your protection. If your work has integrity, this will tend to protect you from negative energy and circumstances. You can often sidestep negative energy from others by becoming "transparent" to it, allowing it to pass through you with no adverse effect upon you. This is a consciousness practice that might be called "psychic aikido." 4. Integrity in means and ends. Integrity in means cultivates integrity in the fruit of one's work. A noble goal cannot be achieved utilizing ignoble means. 5. Don't demonize your adversaries. It makes them more defensive and less receptive to your views. People respond to arrogance with their own arrogance, creating rigid polarization. Be a perpetual learner, and constantly challenge your own views. 6. You are unique. Find and fulfill your true calling. "It is better to tread your own path, however humbly, than that of another, however successfully." (Bhagavad Gita) 7. Love thy enemy. Or at least, have compassion for them. This is a vital challenge for our times. This does not mean indulging falsehood or corruption. It means moving from "us/them" thinking to "we" consciousness, from separation to cooperation, recognizing that we human beings are ultimately far more alike than we are different. This is challenging in situations with people whose views are radically opposed to yours. Be hard on the issues, soft on the people. 8. Your work is for the world, not for you. In doing service work, you are working for others. The full harvest of your work may not take place in your lifetime, yet your efforts now are making possible a better life for future generations. Let your fulfillment come in gratitude for being called to do this work, and from doing it with as much compassion, authenticity, fortitude, and forgiveness as you can muster. 9. Selfless service is a myth. In serving others, we serve our true selves. "It is in giving that we receive." We are sustained by those we serve, just as we are blessed when we forgive others. As Gandhi says, the practice of satyagraha ("clinging to truth") confers a "matchless and universal power" upon those who practice it. Service work is enlightened self-interest, because it cultivates an expanded sense of self that includes all others. 10. Do not insulate yourself from the pain of the world. Shielding yourself from heartbreak prevents transformation. Let your heart break open, and learn to move in the world with a broken heart. As Gibran says, "Your pain is the medicine by which the physician within heals thyself." When we open ourselves to the pain of the world, we become the medicine that heals the world. This is what Gandhi understood so deeply in his principles of ahimsa and satyagraha. A broken heart becomes an open heart, and genuine transformation begins. 11. What you attend to, you become. Your essence is pliable, and ultimately you become that which you most deeply focus your attention upon. You reap what you sow, so choose your actions carefully. If you constantly engage in battles, you become embattled yourself. If you constantly give love, you become love itself. 12. Rely on faith, and let go of having to figure it all out. There are larger 'divine' forces at work that we can trust completely without knowing their precise workings or agendas. Faith means trusting the unknown, and offering yourself as a vehicle for the intrinsic benevolence of the cosmos. "The first step to wisdom is silence. The second is listening." If you genuinely ask inwardly and listen for guidance, and then follow it carefully—you are working in accord with these larger forces, and you become the instrument for their music. 13. Love creates the form. Not the other way around. The heart crosses the abyss that the mind creates, and operates at depths unknown to the mind. Don't get trapped by "pessimism concerning human nature that is not balanced by an optimism concerning divine nature, or you will overlook the cure of grace." (Martin Luther King) Let your heart's love infuse your work and you cannot fail, though your dreams may manifest in ways different from what you imagine. http://www.satyana.org/principles.html
