husband has been already there waiting for me. In other words, I found out that he has been on the spiritual journey since the day he was born. After discovering all this, not only am I fascinated about this new world and how I see it in the spiritual way, and connected to my self my soul, my husband is telling me that I am crazy, and I must be the only one on this earth to experience this, because he sees and feels what I feel now. He has come to a time, now, of my discovery of how life is so beautiful and closer to God, and he has discovered that in all our years together, he never knew that I was not with him in his world.  He really believed that his spiritual life connected with his inner self, was exactly what the reality world is. He is shocked, but I know that he has been very supportive and understanding while I was in my learning. As if he is my master, here on earth. I say things now that I experience and he tells me exactly what they are suppose to be and understand them. Well this way I will learn much faster to go deeper and deeper to find God.

That said, I offer a caution: YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR REALITY. Said other ways, YOU are an equal co-creator of all that is... YOU are all powerful...

Juggling Life & the Unexpected 

by Aluna JoyYaxk’in 

I would like to tell you a funny and true story. A story that at the time I didn’t find so funny, nor did I see the significance in the turn of events that made this story so profound, & yet so ordinary. It is a story that reminds us to pay attention to the unexpected, and count on spirit to not only show up in unusual ways, but in seemingly ordinary ways too.

The story begins with my first journey to Machupicchu, Peru. Needless to say I was quite excited to be traveling to this amazing land. I had dreamed of going for sometime and now the time was upon me. I wanted to get the most out of my first trip as most spiritual pilgrims do. Over the years I have entered sacred sites at night to meditate and pray. A night on top of a pyramid has proven over and over, a profound way to tune in and receive sacred mystery school teachings. So of course I was going to repeat this process in Machupicchu.

On my last day in Machupicchu I was ready to enter the site at night. I waited until 1 AM to make sure the guards were asleep. I climbed over a cliff beside the ticket gate to enter the site. I ascended up part of the Inca trail to a special carved rock where I could see the entire site laid out before me. Machupicchu was exquisite, lit up by star light and the silence was profound.

I sat down with my back against the rock and began to meditate. The stone was getting colder and colder and it was getting harder every moment to concentrate. I had every piece of wool and alpaca clothing I owned on. I looked like a Alpaca mummy and could hardly move but the cold intruded into my meditation with a vengeance. I sat all night in the cold. By mornings first light I had not received a single vision, insight or teaching. I was not visited by the Lumerian Star Elders, nor did I see Andean Angels or space craft. I received absolutely NOTHING except knowing where the phrase "Stone Cold" came from. Believe me I understood  - Stone Cold - quite well.

As the sun rose over the top of the surrounding Andean mountains I greeted the warmth it brought. The vision of the sun light hitting the ruins below was an amazing view and a seeming consolation for my night suffering. I thought I would at least get some incredible photographs. I pulled my frozen hands out of my alpaca mittens and got out the camera I had kept inside my poncho to keep warm. I waited to the right moment to snap my first shot. But what happened next was… well let say the straw that broke the Lamas back.

Seeming to appear out of nowhere were what seamed to be a couple of tourists. The site of Machupicchu is huge yet these two, speaking some un-
