Refresh Your Spirit

Refresh Your Spirit

  by Dawn King on 4/16/2025    photos of Aurora Borealis, Finland   Last Saturday was a stressful day for me. I made an error in my washing machine maintenance which resulted in it flooding our home utility room. While moving things off the puddle, I stepped onto our seldom used back porch with a big box in my arms. The rotted wood gave way under one foot. Suddenly, I was laying upside down on the steps with one leg under the remaining porch floor. Fortunately, only some bruises and scrapes resulted. The porch will be getting replaced. 

Then Tuesday, after a restless night, I felt very strange all day, like my aura was out of line. Maybe you also felt the electromagnetic solar storm that hit us on Tuesday (4/15). It caused a blackout in Puerto Rico, among other sites, and is associated with a number of earthquakes that occurred around the world. Another is expected around April 24-25. It may affect your ability to sleep, and cause strange feelings. 

We are each inhabiting a physical body that is 60 – 70% liquid. This body has its own electromagnetic structure that is sensitive to solar storms and other influences; the Moon’s tidal influence for instance. I’m certain the opposition of planetary energies (Pluto and Mars) is influencing some sudden accidents in my case.   

Our planet is racing around the Sun, while our solar system flies around the edge of the Milky Way, constantly bombarded by new cosmic weather. Life’s fast pace on Earth has us reeling at times. It’s hard for our body, mind, and emotions to process it all fast enough. On the other hand we’re blessed to be living in a time when rapid spiritual growth is possible. How can we best cope with it all?

Let’s take some time to refresh our spirits each morning when we wake, and again before we go to sleep. This saves my sanity; I remind myself that I am one with the Universe, and always connected to my Source. I am never alone or forgotten; God knows everything I’m experiencing and is helping me grow in consciousness. A near-death experience I had as a child taught me this. 

Countless angels and helpers are also nearby, ready to respond to our request for help,or direction. There’s a life path for each of us, one that we chose ourselves before our physical birth. Hopefully it leads us to greater connection with the creative mind center enlivening the Universe. And I pray for each of us to embrace these lessons. They were embodied by Jesus along with these teachings:

    1. Our spirits are immortal, and after sojourning on Earth we drop the physical form and continue on another dimension. In spirit, we are each a perfect manifestation of God, capable of tremendous achievements.
    2. Our thoughts are more powerful than we know; as we think, we create our life, and we affect others and our environment. By our thoughts (and actions) we change the world.
    3. Love and fear are the dualities of this dimension; embrace love. Give unconditional love to all; everyone is doing the best they can. Love yourself, your neighbor, the one who seems to be an enemy or problem character in your life, and love LIFE here. It is fleeting, and has unique rewards. 

Humanity and Earth are entering a more spiritual dimension. Relax, and give yourself time and space to inhale, and to incorporate new experiences and concepts. Recognize the emotions you are feeling, the life-improving inspirations you are receiving. 

Here’s hoping you get to see rare Comet Swan in the next 10 days, more pictures of the Aurora Borealis caused by our Sun’s solar storms. AND I hope you’ll read my next blog about water—we have an ocean inside of us, as well as stars. Blessings!

Your True Nature

Your True Nature

  Norman Paulsen, Sunburst Founder    Over millenniums, animal forms have been evolving from primal, simple consciousness into the higher reaches of self-consciousness. Humankind now stands on the threshold of Cosmic consciousness, Christ consciousness, enlightenment. If we allow, the power of Divine Spirit will enter in and walk within each one of us upon this Earth. This is the reason for the creation! Every man and woman can know their true immortal nature, I Am That I Am.

It’s hard to conceive what this world would be like if we were able to open up to this potential. We get glimmerings of it in the sixth sense—feelings of intuition, dreams, visions, voice communications from Spirit.

Through Kriya meditation, there is a way to open the astral door on the crown of the head. The power of I Am That I Am, the masculine and feminine sacred vortexes, the right and left hand of God, can enter in and begin to feed us with divine information, the information of the cosmos, the geometric structure of atoms and galaxies, the wisdom, the infinite knowledge. We can begin to receive and express God-consciousness on this Earth, now, today.

I hear people say: “If there is a God, why did he create such a mess? Why does he allow this world to go on like it is, with people killing each other every day because they belong to a different religion or creed or race. Why?” But God did not create the world this way. Man has made it that way. I Am That I Am created this planet to come here and live fully conscious in us, in perfect harmony.

“Know you not that you are all gods? These things I do, you can do also.” What did Jesus mean? He meant that we can become true sons and daughters of God because we are created in that image, and it lives within us.

Pray for the Divine to reveal that Light. Reach up to the crown of your head and open that door. Let those powerful vortexes of life force spin into you. That’s what sustains us here. It will give power to the higher consciousness to rule over the self-conscious mind. It will let you evolve into your true nature.

Are You Looking For Me?

Are You Looking For Me?

  Poem by a 15th century Indian mystic, saint, and weaver, known as Kabir.    Translated by Robert Bly    Kabir saw religions as meaningless. He was condemned by both Hindus and Muslims; but after his death members of both religions claimed him as being of their faith.

Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in the stupas,
not in Indian shrine rooms,
nor in synagogues,
nor in cathedrals,
nto in masses,
nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
When you really look for me,
you will see me instantly—
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me: What is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

A Rare View of Venus

A Rare View of Venus

  by Dawn King    Before the age of industrialization—the late 1800s—all of humankind looked to the skies as their calendar. Today, there are cultures that still rely on observations of sunrise, sunset, moon, stars and planets to set their sacred dates. Even now, observing the Sun, we change our clocks based on the equinoxes, and celebrate mid summer at the longest day of the year.

We may mostly ignore the sky today, but stardust  is in our DNA. Our bodies are in constant flux with the lunar cycles that move the tides on our planet. The more aware we become, the more we realize that our Earth is alive and evolving, ever-changing.

Now to Venus. As it appears and disappears in our skies, Venus has been an important planet in the culture of many ancient and current peoples including Australian, Mayan, Roman, Egyptian, Aztec, Vedic (India), Hopi (and other Native Americans), Arab, and Chinese—so pretty much every culture. It appears very bright to us because the clouds of Venus reflect sunlight.

For 90 days Venus regularly appears on Earth as the so-called “evening star;” then it disappears for a number of days, only to reappear as Earth’s “morning star” for about 90 days. This all takes place over approximately 18 months. Why does this appear to happen from our vantage point?

Venus orbits between the Earth and the Sun. Sometimes it disappears on the far side of the Sun, and sometimes it is between us and the Sun in a way that we cannot see it. It’s orbit is quite different from Earth’s in length. Venus orbits the Sun about 13 times for every 8 orbits of the Earth. If we make a diagram of this movement with Earth in the center, it appears as a sort of pentagram or flower, reminding us of the mystical patterns of sacred geometry, and life. Here’s the diagram.

Venus Pentagram

This week, Venus is as close to Earth as it ever gets and a rare view of Venus took place. It was observed both in the evening, and then the morning as a thin crescent. This was the first day of Venus becoming the “morning star” once again (March 23rd).   

If a new Venus cycle wasn’t enough, we are also having a solar eclipse this weekend. Venus is restarting it’s beautiful spiraling design, the Moon will eclipse the Sun, and 7 planets will be visible in Pisces all at once. Maybe the night sky is trying to tell us something.

One of these planets is Saturn, sometimes called the “Lord of Karma” It remains in a sign for about 36 months. All of these events are concurrent set points—they mark the end and the start of eras or human attitudes and experiences.

Because we currently celebrate Spring and the start of Aries as the beginning of a new astrological and weather year, Pisces happens to be the final sign of the 12 sign zodiac on the ecliptic we see in our night sky. This makes all of this weekend’s events even more significant. We are all entering a new era of new opportunities and experiences.

As my friend James Kelleher states: “Meditation, reflection, and spiritual discipline will be essential tools for navigating this period. Saturn in Pisces reminds us that life is impermanent, and change is inevitable. By seeking the unchanging essence within, individuals can cultivate resilience and a sense of inner peace that remains untouched by political, environmental, or societal upheavals.”

Start Living YOUR Dream

Start Living YOUR Dream

  by Dawn King    Confusion is rife on our planet today. Realize that this too shall pass, and all human conflicts will end over time. Meanwhile, you are expanding your awareness of how to be part of the solution of rebuilding society and the planet…starting today.

Why me? Embrace the idea that “I chose to be here now, and chose my life experiences because they serve me. They help me grow stronger in spirit.” The law of attraction (your thought) is powerful; you will continue to attract what you need. Think positive and you will attract positive experiences.

1. Affirm: “Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I’m making it a purposeful life.”

2. Feel safe in your own space, your own spirit. Yours is the power to create your life as you will it. Your spirit is in a place separate from fear. Your thoughts and actions can operate from that same centered place. If needed, physically move yourself into a place that feels safe, while asking for, receiving, and knowing spiritual help is guiding you. It will FEEL right.

3. Grounding is needed while we live in these physical bodies. Plant a garden. Create or take a job that serves humanity and the Earth. Be practical in your decisions to act. Idealism can lead us into rash actions we later regret.

4. Be a loving person. Our task today is to move our center of consciousness into our hearts. Be kind; love yourself for acting in a way that will make you a better person. Your spirit is perfect; it is the offspring of a loving Creator. Identify with your perfect spirit; it is eternal—going on after this physical life is past.

We are spiritual beings in physical bodies, trying to cope with the drama unfolding around us. Take the time to tune out the drama of the world, and tune into your spirit.

Learning to control our thinking is vital to living a productive and happy life. Meditation and self-reflection is helpful in this process. Use affirmations: “I am choosing to let all conflict go; I am choosing to be at peace.”

“I am grounded.” Visualize your roots of support and strength extending into Gaia, our Mother Earth. Your energy field naturally extends around you in all directions, including going into the Earth. Spend as much time as you can in Nature. Absorb its energy and teachings.

Like a little child, when you live from the heart you have no fear, and others cannot control you. Your effort to be your best is always good enough. And like a little child, you need not judge others. Embrace those who feel like your own, and let loose of those who do not. Wish everyone well, but keep your distance from those people and things which don’t uplift your spirit.

You are valued by the Earth and the Universe. You are loved by those beyond this dimension, and by your Mother-Father Creator. Keep yourself mindfully in that positive light. Open your heart and mind to all the light and love that is available to help and nurture you. You are never alone.
