A few weeks ago I was generously gifted a ticket to go see John of God at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York at the end of September.

For those readers who may be on the fence as to how The Greater Plan works, (as in asking for what you need and having it answered from the Architect of the Universe), keep reading.

João de Teixeiria de Faria, or more commonly known as John of God, is a man whose healing practices caught my attention some years ago.  He has devoted his life to being an instrument of higher Spiritual Masters who manifest healing work through him with the Grace of God.  John is a deep trance medium.

I began to read and explore documentaries about John and how Entities who incorporate his body have lived on earth, then ascended to such a degree of enlightenment that they now use John’s body as a conduit for their work from the power of God.  A constant mantra for John is, “I do not cure anybody; God heals.  I am merely the vessel.”

I’m a huge cynic.  Anyone who has spent time reading my posts knows that 1) I have a very low tolerance for fraud and tom-fakery, and 2) my vetting process of unexplained phenomena  experiences cuts long and deep.

João de Teixeiria de Faria is the real thing.  Not that my pathetic little opinion really carries much weight or means that much, but I want it on record that this is a man who was chosen at a very young age to lead a blessed life, and a life where he was open to the unconditional love of higher realms, and within this life chose a life of service to helping others.  Simply stated John has been seeing thousands of people a year since 1958.  His Casa in Brazil is open to all, with no outward means of solicitation for donations except a non-descript little box on the side of a wall.  His staff is not even allowed to ask for donations.  No hidden agendas – open to scrutiny from the international medical and academia he has consistently been a beacon of a greater good upon this planet.

There has been a sense of undefined urgency in my wanting to be in the same room, even for a nano-second, with John of God.  People visit him for a variety of physical, emotional and Spiritual ills.  That’s what so odd about my wanting to see John in person.   Once I passed 43 years of age my immune system was stellar,  I’ve always known why I was on the planet and I know miracles exist, but would never ask for one for myself because I consider my life pretty amazing on its own merit.

About four years ago I began praying to meet John of God.  Meet him, not in a way that was a curiosity, but in a way that I knew if it happened there would be a reason…a defined reason.   A few weeks ago my new friends gave me (GAVE ME) a ticket to see John of God (and may be abbreviated JOG going forward).  As in “JOG” your memory to remember who you are.  “JOG” you into action.  “JOG” you into service.  Words can do that – have a deeper meaning than you realize.

Receiving this ticket to see JOG in upper state New York brought varying levels of putting the pieces together that led up to a full mosaic.  The obvious gratitude for the generosity of people just befriended,  that ‘s a given, but there was this electrical connection as well.  Like a chain reaction of light that as each of us met the other, not just like -minded person, but a person who within their Soul holds a seed of knowing; real knowing of why we are on this planet and knowing we agreed to be of service to others through prayer.

Over 20 years ago I took my little journal book and started to draw a triangle.  Then I drew a circle around the triangle.  I wrote several notes from my meditative download on what this triangle and circle meant to me.  I still have the notebook.  Never threw it away.  There is little else written in the notebook except for my drawing and notes.

A couple of weeks ago I was crawling around my wee lil’ attic space gathering jewelry together for a swap with friends.  I came across a small little box and opened it.  Inside was a small sterling silver pendant.  It was a triangle within a circle.  I held this pendant in my hand for some time, turning it over and over in the palm of my hand.  I remembered where I purchased it.  I remembered I wanted it because it reminded me of my drawing.  I never wore it.

My main objective to seeing JOG is to bring photos of people I know who are in dire need of a deep Spiritual healing and intervention.  They can’t travel, but I have been given a ticket to see John of God.  I’ve been given a ticket to bring the photos to him.  My life is one of service.  Given freely.  No hidden agendas.

There is a place at the Casa that has a large triangle on the wall.  A triangle will be at New York as well.  People place and leave photos of those that cannot make the trip to see John of God at the triangle.  They lean their forehead to the center of the triangle and pray for healing.  They pray that God and the Entities will help through divine intervention.

I will be one of those people who will be praying at the triangle.  I will be wearing my triangle pendant surrounded with the circle glyph of Spirit.

Update:  Getting ready to head out the door and looked for my triangle within a circle pendant.  I had laid it out this week to bring with me.  It’s nowhere to be found.  So the message to me is this:  you either have the faith to fall back into Spirit’s process or you don’t.  Entities care not for glitter, they see what’s in your heart and that’s the only key you need.

The past couple of days my granddaughter has been under the weather.  She’s been snuggled up on the couch with her DVD player and a blanket.

Observing her squinting, in an effort to shut the streaming sunbeam out of her eyes from the skylight, it brought me back to my own childhood memories of being sprawled out on a blanket on Old South Cape Beach decades long past.

The sun was a hypnotic orb.  I was constantly being told not to look at.  Don’t look at the sun, you’ll go blind!, screamed my parents.  I looked anyway.  I was that kind of a kid.

Looking at the sun had incredible advantages.  I would start by making my eyes tiny slits, and then gradually, ever so slowly, work up to a full direct megaton millisecond confrontation.  For twenty minutes I would look around the beach and see black orbs everywhere.  You see I was a scientist in the making.  Personal experimentation.  Logging my results.  I was going to be the first person on the planet who could make direct eye contact with the sun and keep my sight.

That huge ball of yellow-white power just hanging above my head, taunting me “to look”; to take in its energy from 93,000,000 miles away.  As the heat and light reached my insignificant cellular being,  I challenged it to infuse me with strength and inner light.

When I bored of the black orbs, and knowing logically that I could not make a steady diet of burning my retinas, I would lie down on the hot sand and squeeze my eyes as tight as I could.

LSD I scoff at you.  I could make any colour appear just by loosening my clamped shut-tight eyes.  I could see all the colours behind my eyelids, and with every colour revealed a variety of geometric shapes outlined in white.  It was glorious this gift of producing my own light show in my head.  There I was, starting out with darkness, and by simply doing eye crunches, not unlike an exercise for the abdomen, a full out artistic process, sans paintbrush, was created for my entertainment.

Looking at my granddaughter I wondered if I could still trick the light fantastic.  Standing face forward, until the sunbeam caressed my face, I began to tightly squeeze my eyes, loosen them, and re-crunch my lids.  There it all was.   Prismatic colours, and enhanced images danced and played inside of my mind.

The light is without and within and darkness was nowhere to be found for the moment.

Thanks again to our resident Astrologer, Nancy we have New Moon in Virgo advice.  I don’t know about you, but the retrograde Mercury information this month from Nancy was extremely helpful – the energies are feeling a little crazy, and I for one, was thankful for the inside “skinny”.  Now Nancy has layered this New Moon guidance for us as well.  Enjoy!

This month’s New Moon is in the sign Virgo, and Virgo is a very practical sign that can help us to become more aware of where it is that we need more organization in our lives.  We can now easily  take a look at ourselves and see just where we might need some improvement.

The past few months have been full of changes and challenges that were forced upon us — now is the time to take charge and make those positive moves that will get us back on the right track.  Whatever the area of need: health, job security, job hunting, tying up loose ends, making amends for past mistakes, or just improving your life in little ways — now is the time to go forth and tackle your “demons” with the help of this fortuitous Virgo New Moon.  Wherever  the sign Virgo appears in your Natal Chart will give you the clues you need to make things happen and begin to improve your life, surroundings, health or relationships.

Remember, we are still under the auspices of a Retrograde Mercury, so  plan ahead, take your time and create a strong foundation for the changes you wish to make — and when Mercury turns direct on the 29th, you will be ahead of the game and ready to enable yourself to manifest those changes you want and perhaps need right now.  The power is there to use, be practical, precise, and patient.  If you have been writing down the same affirmations or wishes for the past few months, and you don’t see any results, try rewriting those wishes in a new format — be clear, and you might want to shake up your list to include some Virgo inspired areas — i.e., health, organization, work, contracts (don’t sign until Rx Mercury is over — or make sure you understand the depth of what you are putting your signature upon).

For Virgo’s especially, this will be the start of a new cycle as the planet Saturn has been in your sign for the past approximately 2 and 1/2 years — and will be moving on, entering the sign Libra on October 29th.  When Saturn transits over our Sun sign, it can bring many challenges — in fact, my rule of thumb is that if you know someone under this aspect — invite them to lunch – they can probably use the break — this is usually a difficult transit, but it makes us aware of those areas in our lives that need change, shaking up, or perhaps endings.   It might be a job that is going nowhere, a friendship that has deteriorated and must be re-energized or ended, or a health matter that has been ignored and now has been brought to the fore, and must be attended to.   Many folks feel as if they have been through the wringer after a Saturn transit — and for many, it is one of the most difficult times of their lives.  We all have been through these times, and we have survived — with a little luck and foresight, we can thrive.

OK — now Librans are casting a wary eye on the next 2 plus years under Saturn’s auspices… we will address that issue in another posting.  We must remember, Saturn is somewhere in our charts — we are always dealing with issues associated with this “teaching” planet.  Saturn is not the bully of the Zodiac as some would have us believe… indeed it may be the most important planet in moving us ahead in our evolutionary journey.  Is it a tough-love planet? — oh yes — does it have it’s rewards? — in spades.  Saturn rewards us elegantly when we have learned those lessons it is trying to teach us…  There is a yin/yang beauty to the Universe — it is a never-ending circle of lessons, love, service, and learning — we are on a pathway and the stars though they impel us, never compel us.  To harmonize with the ebb and flow of the planetary movement is to be full aware of our place in the Universe, a place where we belong.

The New Moon in Virgo, at 26 degrees, takes place on September 18th at 1:44 PM — so the evening hours of the 18th and morning hours of the 19th are the best times to write down your affirmations and wishes.  Remember to add an hour for DST.   Saturn in Virgo can help you fulfill all of your desires, work with the harmony and energy that is there, and you will be rewarded with more self-respect, a more positive outlook, and an exhilarating feeling of aliveness.
