Message From Kashonia

Hello

All this week I’ve been flat-out researching and writing the 2nd part of the 2012 paper. You received Part 1 last week.  This is something that I love doing and I’m still on target to having Part 2, which will actually be Part 2 and Part 3, finished by the end of April. 

This week I’ve been focusing on refining the chapter on the geo-physical stories about 2012 that are going around.  And it’s been quite a roller-coaster ride.  I’d get the basic story, pull it apart and clearly see that the story had no substance at all, and think “GREAT”.  Then I’d explore the story from another perspective.  In doing that I’d realise that whilst the original story was without credibility, an aspect that had not been mentioned could be a concern to us here on Earth.

So the ride went on.

And speaking about geo-physical events - as you'd have heard there was another terrible earthquake in China with a great loss of life. We even had a little earthquake here in Adelaide, the capital of our state of South Australia.

Meanwhile, the volcano in Iceland with the unpronounceable name, Eyjafjallajökull, is causing incredible havoc throughout the world due to the flight disruptions.

A sign of more to come, no doubt.

On a brighter subject, Tabs-sie is still full of beans and climbing trees.  Her adult teeth are now coming down which is great.  Those little ones are soooo sharp at game time.

Love

Kashonia

Ulysses Butterfly

PS – EXCITEMENT – EXCITEMENT!

I’ve just seen a Ulysses butterfly.  To me, they are, with out a doubt, THE most beautiful of all butterflies. The colour is spectacular.  I don’t see them very often, so when I do, it really makes my day and I use it as a symbol of something very special on its way.

They are quite large – I guess from wing tip to wing tip would be about 3½”  to 4” .  They are the symbol for Tropical North Queensland, so we are very blessed to have them.

Apology

Last week in the Feature Article, I reviewed the documentary Stress: The Portrait of a Killer that I’d seen on our Australian TV a few days before.  I mentioned that the replay was up for a couple of weeks in case you wanted to see it.

But as a number of people wrote and told me – when they went to the website all they got was a notice that for copyright reasons, only people in Australia could see it.

So if you are in Australia you have a few more days to take advantage of the replay at http://www.abc.net.au/iview/?WT.svl=services#/program/542995

Anywhere else in the world and I do apology for suggesting something that you couldn’t access.  I must say that it didn’t even occur to me that countries outside Australia would be blocked like that. Now I know for the future.

See we can learn something new everyday.

But you can still buy the DVD from PBS in America.

Last Change If You Missed Out Before

If you’ve been with me since the beginning of the year you’d know that I sent you a New Year’s gift of all of the interviews that I did last year, plus a few extra bits.  The web page containing those gifts was going to come down at the end of January.

By the end of January, I had up on my opt-in box that people would receive a free report on 2012.  However, I then decided to rewrite the report to make the information that I was sending out far more valuable than the original paper was. 

This led to me feeling guilty for promising something that I was not delivering.  And so I decided to leave that gift page up until I’d finished the new report.  Well, as you probably know the new 2012 report only went out last week.

But somewhere between February and the end of March, I discovered that there were some people who signed up to our Raising Love Consciousness family who didn’t get the link to access those 2009 interviews.

So if you are one of those people, or if you've just signed up in the last week, here is the link
http://www.RaisingLoveConsciousness.com/Gift-Welcome-9822010.html

And it will now definitely be coming down just after mid-night on April 30th, Los Angeles time. 

After that date, all the interviews will be available for sale on a Products page on www.Embracing2012.com , which I have yet to set up.

Important Health Tip Relating to Car Air Conditioning

I received this from one of our RLC family members and so I thought that I’d pass it on because it certainly makes very good sense. 

Personally, I hate air conditioning and if I use it in the car it’s always with the windows down.  And yes, I know that sounds crazy.  Even when I travel and have to stay in a hotel, I will never sleep with the air con on or I end up in the morning with a cold.

In Queensland’s tropics, the best thing is a ceiling fan – they’re fantastic. And so much lighter on power too.

Car Air Conditioning

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before.  We wonder where this stuff comes from, but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer-causing incidents.
 

Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, seven days a week.  As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.
 
But guess it's not too late to make some changes.
 
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.  Instead, open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
 
Here's why:

 

* According to research, the car dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen).
 
* Take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car.  In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
 
* Prolonged exposure will cause leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.  It can also cause miscarriage.  An acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq ft.
 
* A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of benzene.  If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.
 
* People who get into the car keeping the windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.
 
* Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.  What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
 
*So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for the interior air to dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.

Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

Important Internet Marketing Tip

If you have a website, ALWAYS, include the website URL at the bottom of all emails.  Ideally, include a few words about what you do too.  But if nothing else, the website is essential.  It’s easy to set up in the signature function so it comes up automatically with each email.

And on teleseminars:

  1. On arrival always say hello via the Q & A box and include your city or country AND your website.  Most teleseminar host will read out that website and you never know who else is listening that might be interested. 
  1. And if you submit a question, always include your web address.  You can put your web address in the window for the country beside your name window. If the host doesn’t want to mention it they won’t.  But you never know, they just might give it a mention.   And again, you never know who’s listening.

I for one will also give someone's website a mention.

FEATURE ARTICLE

What to do Now Mercury is Retrograde

As you’re probably aware, Mercury is the planet of communication. And about 2 hours ago, Mercury turned retrogrades in Taurus!  

So are you prepared for a new Mercury retrograde period?

Mercury turns retrogrades three times every year for approximately 21 days each time. As usual, this is a period often marked by misunderstandings and delays.

And look at the delays that anyone who wants to fly is having because of the volcano. What an amazing "coincidence".

All the normal Mercury retrograde rules apply: don't sign contracts, and don't buy communication-related products such as phones and computers, or travel-related items such as cars and plane tickets.

That said, life doesn't always cooperate with Mercury retrograde periods!

So if you must sign a contract, build in escape clauses.

If you buy any of the above items, safeguard the receipts and double-check reservations. However, I hear that the insurance companies are saying that the volcano is an "Act of God" and so they won't honour any travel policies.

Most importantly, go back to conversations and ideas you did not fully explore previously. Keep in mind that this is a period when a thorough review will help you in the long run.

One thing is certain: When you know how to work with Mercury's retrograde, you automatically make your life easier! (Mercury ends its retrograde on May 11/12.)

 

  • Mercury turns Retrograde (Rx) at 12º Taurus 38’ on Sunday 18th April @ 2.07 pm (AEST) (Australian Eastern Standard Time), which is Saturday April 17th at 9.07pm Los Angeles time.

 

  • Mercury turns Direct at 2º Taurus 40’ on Wednesday 12th May @ 8.27 am (AEST), which May 11th at 3.30pm LA time.

There is research to suggest that the effect of Mercury Rx can be subtly felt several weeks BEFORE the actual station, this is when Mercury is still in direct motion and passes over the point of the zodiac to which it will later retrograde back to. It is often referred to the “shadow phase” of the retrograde loop. During the upcoming cycle this starts on Sunday 4th April, when Mercury is at 2º Taurus.

The little prefix of "re" applies to Mercury Retrograde. Thus, be mindful that whatever is initiated, purchased, or signed for under the Mercury Rx period will likely need to be:

REviewed, REvised, REdone, REeconditioned, REconsidered, or REpaired at a later point in time.

Thus, during the retrograde period of Mercury you are well advised to:

 

XXX NOT launch a new business venture

XXX NOT purchase a car (as Mercury rules transport)

XXX NOT make any major purchases (as Mercury also governs sales and merchants)

XXX NOT sign a contract for sale or purchase of land/property or anything else of high importance.

 

If it is unavoidable and you have to sign a contract during the Mercury Rx period - then apply due diligence to all the contractual arrangements - check the fine print - cross check; double check thoroughly.

Positive ways to utilize Mercury Retrograde periods:

 

+++ Think about creative ways to improve your business and/or personal affairs

+++ Clear out old files and paperwork that are no longer useful

+++ Make notes and lists and strategise about future projects - but do not take action until   the retrograde cycle is over

+++ Take time to review or edit written work

+++ Let your mind slow down, thus, allowing time and space for inspirational ideas to flow

+++ Talk less, ponder more and take time to mentally regroup

+++ Undertake research which can be utilized when Mercury goes direct.

 

Understandably, many grumble on entering the retrograde phase of miscommunications, where it is likely that mail is delayed, phone calls aren't returned, emails get lost and verbal communications are easily misinterpreted.

However, if we approach the retrograde period with patience and awareness, it is less bothersome. Remain adaptable in the wake of expected communication delays and/or scheduling mix-ups and let go of attachments to a structured outcome during this period.

About Kashonia

I'm a moral and environmental philosopher, and now work exclusively through the Internet from my home in the mountains in rural Far North Queensland in Australia.  That's up in the pointy end on the North Eastern side of Australia

At the age of 15, in 9th grade, I left school.  And in the years that followed, I caught wild donkeys in the outback; was Australia's 1st female oil company representative; set up and ran a couple of my own small businesses; and spent 14 years as a talk-back broadcaster on capital city, commercial radio stations around Australia.   

Throughout most of that time I was also a speaker and trainer. 

At the age of 40, I began my formal academic journey as a 1st year undergraduate student, ending up with 5 university degrees including a PhD.  Three of my post-graduate degrees were done concurrently so I could get on to my PhD - ASAP. 

My multi-disciplinary doctoral thesis is titled ". Heart-Centred Virtue Ethics: Raising Ecological Consciousness in Organisations.

I now realize that my life's-journey's twists and turns, over the past 30+ years, have been preparing me for this very special time on our planet.
This preparation has been in the form of miraculous and not so pleasant life experiences; a range of specialized work skills; and an incredibly extensive, and diverse, range of personal, professional, and academic training. 

Last year the Universe led me to a totally unexpected situation where I now find myself researching, in depth, all I can on the stories about 2012, and the beginning of our new world era. 

This research has rapidly moved me from an open-minded skeptic to a firm believer in a change greater than any of us can possibly imagine.
