Dawn Dancing Otter

For that which is beyond control: Surrender, respect, honour, forgive. For that which is within control: be present and masterful. Dawn Dancing Otter


Dawn was raised as a Christian, in her words she explain; “I feel this was the

perfect foundational learning for my path. As a child, I was taught that God loved us so much that he taught us through the Bible the RIGHT way to live, to worship him, to love each other, to pray, to be good little heterosexually stereotypical girls and boys…and that the wrong way had eternal consequences. There was a Son, a Son brighter than the sun and to believe he was the Son was the way to stop the Devil, who was surely, read-ily, greedily beating down my door, his hot breath ready to burn me for eternity. I did not see that God had any daugh-ters, only a Son. This was something that disturbed me in its unacknowledged presence like a blood stain.”And this was the whole reason for Dawn to seek her God who is going to love all living being in an unconditional way.

The search followed Dawn when she reached 16 years old. She still felt she is just a weak and unworthy woman. At that point Dawn wants to follow the rules that can save her and bring her happiness and feel love.

As she refers; “As a Druid, I walk the path of honoring the Creator and Creation. I have never had the same wondering or self doubt is it ‘right’, am I thinking the right thoughts, praying theright way, am I good or evil these thoughts do not resonate. I love the microcosm of Creator – that is me, myself as myself, as a perfect creation of the Macrocosm Creator.”

Through this path that Dawn chose, her

heart grown to be more compassionate in all God’s creations. This was the journey that shown her love exists in all places and in each one of us. “I know that my heart has grown compassionate in all the places I have walked on this soul journey. That compassion has shown me love in all the places I felt lost. I deeply feel and resonate with the Christ that was being heralded through the stories of Jesus. As I live and embody compassionate love, many aspects of mind are sacrificed and are burned away. What is left is distilled essence… NATURE. My wildness is what saves me. That is where the truth grows and thrives. That is where I see the suffering of myself and others and know it isn’t real, even if I have invested so much belief in the suffering.”

Dawn practices and teaches Shaman-ic Medicine at home in Penticton BC Canada, as well as internationally. She has developed a workshop series called “the Alchemist Path” to assist people of all backgrounds in developing a personal practice of self-mastery and responsibility in the application of Shamanic Medicine. As well, Dawn has developed healing movement workshops called ‘Trance-form Shamanic Yoga’. These are infused with Yoga Asanas, Kriyas, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, and Trance dance. Partici-pants learn to actively journey in trance states through movement and meditation.

“Now I am aware that I choose what I wish to make real with my beliefs. I am making choices which distill my heart essence.”AWEN, So Be It.

Golden Snub-nosed monkey


In the tucked high of Qin Ling Mountains in central China, the golden snub-nosed

monkey lives among other five related specie, remnants of once widespread populations whose ranges were squeezed by climate change after the last ice age. They are living in territorial bands due to human settlement, and hunters wanting meat, bones (said to have medicinal prop-erties), and luxurious fur. Many have been pushed into high-altitude isolation, where they leap across branches, traverse icy

rivers, and weather long winters at nearly 10,000 feet, shielded by that coveted coat.

About 20,000 of the golden variety remain on Earth. Some 4,000 inhabit the moun-tainous region where Chinese officials set up the Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve to protect the species.

The golden snub-nosed monkey are the group of old world monkeys and make up the entirely of the genus Rhinopithecus.


They got their name from the short, stump of a nose on their round face, with nostrils arranaged foward. They have relatibely multicolored and long fur. They grow to a length of 51 to 83 cm.

Snub-nosed monkeys inhabit mountainforests up to a height of 4000 m, in the winter moving into the deeply secluded

regions. They spend the majority of their life in the trees.

their diet consists mainly of tree needles, bamboo buds, fruits and leaves.

The impulse for mating starts with the female. She takes up eye contact with the male and runs away a short bit, then flashes her genitals. If the male shows interest (which does not always occur), he joins the female and they mate. The 200-day gestation period ends with a single birth in late spring or early summer. Young animals become fully mature in about 6 to 7 years. Zoologists know little about their lifespan.

Why the odd face? No one is sure, but Penn State primatologist Nina Jablonski suggests the flat muzzle evolved to combat extreme cold, “which would cause frostbite to bare, exposed, fleshy noses.”

Goa is situated on the South Western part of India. It’s the smallest state in India spreading

over an area of 3,702 sq km. A perfect blend of the colonial and modern charm Goa simply manages to take your heart away.

Reputed for its infrastructure, cuisine, historical monuments and unique culture Goa has become a one stop tourist spot for millions of foreign and domestic travelers. Blessed in terms of natural beauty the beaches in Goa cover almost 83 percent of its total coastline

Goa is one of the Indian states that remained under colonial rule for a period of 451 years. The history of Goa traces back to the 3rd century. According to history Goa was first ruled by the Mauryas, then the Satvahanas, Chalukyas and finally the Shilharas and Kadambas. Goa passed into the hands of the Mughals in 1312 and then lastly the Portuguese captured Goa in 1510. It was in 1962 that Goa attained freedom from the Portuguese and in 1987 it was pronounced an independent state in India.

In India Goa has become synonymous with beaches. Goa is home to some of the finest beaches in the world. One of the major reasons behind the charm of the city is its sun kissed beach-es. The Goa beaches are just not restricted to clear waters and shimmering sands but flea markets, open shacks that sell mouthwatering Goan cuisine and a whole lot of music and dance.

The name Goa came to European languages from the Portuguese colonisers, but its precise origin is unclear. The Indian epic Mahabharata refers to the area now known as Goa, as ‘Goparashtra’ or ‘Govarashtra”’ which means a nation of cowherds. ‘Gopakapuri’ or ‘Gapakapattana’ were used in some ancient Sanskrit texts, and these names were also mentioned in other sacred Hindu texts such as the Harivansa and the Skanda Purana. In the latter, Goa is also known as “Go-manchala”. Gove, Govapuri, Gopakpattan, and Gomant are some other names that the region is referred to in certain inscriptions and texts such as the Puranas. It has also been known as “Aparant”.


The sunset at GOA. What an experience. We were enjoying the beautiful yellow/orange skyline as the sun begins to go down on the horizon. The white globe of the white sun was beginning to slide down towards the greyish blue line of the sea below it.

It was a spectacular photographic picture of the typical, mysterious India that we have begun to love. We were sitting on the inclined beach chair as coffee and our dinner of bbq kebabs and Tandoori chicken were served to us as we watch the sunset. As the sun reaches the horizon, it turned into a glorious red round globe twice its size when it was higher in the sky.

You could feel the cool sea breeze starting to meander onto our face while the locals went about riding the gentle waves from seaward towards the beach. What a moment of exhilaration. You were as if reborn to see the beauty of India.

Quantum Communication Via DNA Encoding

By: Timothy Connolly

The Modality of a Light Indwelled HumanA New Heaven & New Earth

In the July issue Timothy Connolly took us to the detail of DNA is the language of light and quantum communication. In this issue he is going to show us the Ascension of new human genetics and much more.


Ascension of New Human Genetics

The natural polarities of human nature in action are readily observable through witnessing the historical path that mankind has traversed over the last 5,000 years. Yet now we see an acceleration of all that has transpired in the past being repeated and compressed into smaller divisions of time. This is not by chance or by the seemingly randomness of nature, rather this is a by-product of our ability through higher levels of consciousness to recognize definitive patterns unfolding. All this additional awareness helps us define and powerfully create a New Earth one in which is far more balanced due to our newly developed cognitive abili-ties. We find ourselves now because of re-wired genetics, more capable of as-similating greater levels of our higher-selves into the physical body and thus, it becomes easier to release fear-based patterns replaced with higher thought forms of light commonly referred to as- unconditional love.

To a large degree our societal progression and evolution of thought out of darkness is generated by and has been facilitated in part by our divided brains. As explained in the article- 2012 Consciousness Shift, we all are now in the process of re-uniting these two dissimilar hemispheres each with very special and specific functions. All the while in a simultaneous fashion as these changes in our brain transpire, our DNA is becoming more receptive to light communication from the higher-self or spirit. At this higher level or frequency of awareness, what is available for us to comprehend and act upon is

exponentially greater than what has been previously accessible. We should expect to experience more joy, self realization and expression, creativity and peace. However, this process will primarily be a gradual one and as more of humanity embodies the new genetics, civilization as a whole will restructure society into a world governed predominantly by uncon-ditional love.

As we merge into a more complete, unified human the communication abili-ties between each other and most impor-tantly the unfettered reunion to our higher-selves will catapult this world to wonderful levels unimaginable. This entirely different dimensional existence is only accessed by following this enfoldment process with-out resistance and releasing any judg-mental dispositions formally held. Entry into a New Earth is now open for all who wish to continue this remarkable journey. However, it’s spiritually and physically im-possible to enter for those who wish to remain in the lower domains of chaos dis-connected from their higher-selves. A lot of the physical changes discussed here are automatic processes that do not re-quire special monitoring. Recognizing the existence of and accepting their some-times gentle prodding will bring forth a smoother, graceful transition and assimi-lation of all the various alterations mani-festing.

A Personal Choice to Reunite

The choice to enter and travel beyond where you are now regardless of outward appearances or influences is ultimately a personal one.


This whole process is what is referred to as the “ascension” or to become “Christed” or Christ-like. It also can be associated with the return of Christ in Christian theological terms and actu-ally indwelling within an individual not an exclusive group. I’m not here advocat-ing a specific religion of sorts, only to imply the wisdom of the ages can be found wherever universal truth is found. And that this truth can be found anywhere.

Most of the world’s faiths lay out what is now occurring utilizing various ex-pressions of thought in a valiant, worthy attempt to disclose esoteric knowledge. What should be realized during this entire sequence of events is that none are exempt as it’s a universal law. Universal law also dictates that only the soul that embodies the physical body for Divine life expression can allow the full alteration to manifest. No one can do this for you; no external saviors will do your bidding. Only by example in word and deed is assis-tance offered.

To re-cap in another way, the highest forms of our spirit and its communica-tion method in the physical body, is made possible through our DNA structure at the quantum level. And this energetic form is based on photons or light particles which interplay within our cellular make-up.

So we really are Angels, or rather, Angles of light and the body is our prism diffus-ing our light-bodies in the physical! As all matter is composed by various levels of energy vibration or wave frequencies, so it is our thoughts which play a vital,

critical role. To help facilitate the changes in a more orderly and non-chaotic fash-ion, we should pay greater attention to the thoughts we choose - for it is they which dictate our emotions and ultimately influence what emerges into our outward world.

Although DNA and the energetic influ-ences that are altering our very cells will naturally do their part, we bear allot of responsibility in how we choose to traverse over this threshold into a New Earth. It is a well known fact that our biochemistry and brain chemistry are not influenced directly by external means; they are altered by the emotional impact generated by our thoughts to what we perceive. While every cell and associ-ated structures of your body is changing rapidly allowing you to integrate high-er frequencies of spirit, embrace the creative choice of change and your higher-self will carry you and your world into a more beautiful place.

Make a conscious choice to continue participating in your own quantum com-munication in unison with the infinite language of light. Above all, enjoy the journey.


Tim’s interest and study of non-mainstream subject matter including esoteric topics begun with a life altering event at the age of 14.

Being forever inquisitive by nature has quickly lead him to higher levels of awareness and a heightened intuition for understanding the arcane.

With a long career in finance, this affords Tim the ability to apply a professional, down-to-earth approach when discussing and writing about he science of spirituality. Tim is equally adept in bringing clarity out of the confusion caused by today’s global economic and Geo-political upheaval now actively upon us as we travel through a Shift of The Age.

As a result of a deep understanding of these seemingly disparate subjects, he is able to bridge the gap offering wisdom during these chaotic, transitional times we face.

He is also eternally optimistic of our future while combining high energy with a clear perspective as to the importance, and power of the thoughts and choices we make everyday.

A Painter & Healer

Sandrine Auriac

Send Love to the World

Sandrine is one of the unique artists whose work creates transcendence

of space and color. Her technique brings some physical appearances to her painting. The strong use of visible brush stroke with emphasis on light gives her painting a vital element of human awareness and opinion. It is also a “master’s” work with pure colors touch associated with soft transparency, the unusual move-ment of the brush creates wonderful vibrations of light.

A French artist with a spiritual path which manifests through her arts. The touch of pure colors that fluctuating with shapes and curves allows the image to express itself. The purpose of her creation is to channel high vibrations through her paintings. Being creative as she is bring a field of visions with brushes on the canvas.

Sandrine natural talent surely passed by her relative Joseph GARIBALDI (1863-1941), master painter. She believes love has no limit, she offers a work mixed with energy of love, light and inner peace. Most of her painting represent skies, that comes from her passion for nature and lights.

“Everybody has his own filter, through experiences, shapes will be inter-preted differently from one person to another, colors will attract us because we like them but also because we need them to balance our energy.” says Sandrine.



IT ALL BEGAN WITH A TEDDY!I became aware of Linda DiMichelle and her wonderful work with teddies for displaced children, www.facebook.com/profile php?id=583263301 via a contact on Facebook - the social networking site.

I was very moved by what I read of how these little teddies were lighting up children’s faces all around the world; children traumatized or orphaned would cuddle their woolly friends and be helped beyond words, by the love that each was imbibed with. I am not the world’s best knitter, but I can knit, and I felt inspired to get involved. ...5 teddies later (and counting!) my story takes another direction.

I need to share some background information with you so that you can follow my story, which is that my partner and I are both aware of the significant challenges facing the human race at this time, so we decided to invest in a clean water filtration flask, just in case there was ever a need to be able to access clean water. This is how I knew about Lifesaver Systems and their water filtration products. So now back to the story!

THE MIRACLE OF CLEAN WATERBy Sally Morningstar

“The people had never seen anything like this before; they just could not believe it. It was like a miracle to them.” Ashin Issariya aka King Zero


BEING A BEST FRIENDAnother post appeared on my FB page about refugees who had fled Burma and its human rights abuses, crossing into Thailand and living on a rubbish dump in Mae Sot on the borders between Thailand and Burma. About 300 people including around 100 children were trying to scratch a living from the mountains of waste, build-ing their homes from what they found, trying to make enough to buy food, but they had no legal standing, no security - life on the dump looked very dismal. Then I noticed the water they were drinking; filthy, contaminated water from the dumpsite lake. Many got very sick from drinking this water but they had nothing else to drink. The dots joined in my head. They needed a Clean Water Filtration System and I knew exactly where to get one!

SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR THE GREATER GOOD

I felt compelled to raise the funds to buy Lifesaver’s charitable Gerry can for them and so I turned to my Facebook friends. Within 24 hours we had done it! On 18th February 2011 we had raised 450.00UK sterling to purchase the can and a few re-placement filters. Some gave a little, some gave a lot; it didn’t matter as every penny got us closer to the goal.

I discovered that The Best Friend charity were working closely with the refugees in Mae Sot and got in contact about what I

had now called the Clean Water Fund -they were delighted. The Best Friend organiza-tion was established in Burma in 1999 by two Burmese monks called Ashin Sopaka and King Zero (Ashin Issariya) to offer free education for the people in Burma.

My contact was a beautiful lady called Alexandra Rosch who helped the process through from beginning to end. We had plenty of hoops to jump through that I don’t need to go into here, but we kept going with bundles of positivity and perseverance until the job was done and done it was on 22nd June 2011.


Four months later the Gerry can finally reached the Best Friend Library in Mae Sot and one cannot help but have a tear in one’s eye when one sees the Greater Good in action like this.

The people are still living in dreadful conditions, still struggling on a daily ba-sis with the authorities, ill-health and poverty, but at least they have clean water to quench their thirst.

My story doesn’t end there. The Clean Water Fund needs regular donations to cover the costs of replacement filters - 5 UK sterling per month. We are looking for sponsors and also individuals who would make a one off payment or preferably regular monthly donations (no matter how small) in order to buy the filters needed to maintain the system.

I hope you feel as moved as I was and will support this Fund. You can make a payment to [email protected] making sure you add ‘clean water’ in the Paypal message box or contact Sally Morningstar at [email protected] for further details or assistance. Thank you.
