Beam Me Up, Steve Nobel

 by Dana Taylor

 

Last September I returned to Hawaii from a long stay on the mainland. I wasn’t in good shape. My energy was low and my immune system had been blown off kilter via a toxic tick bite. Though much of the initial rash had disappeared, the bite still sat like a blister on my abdomen. A week home, I had an allergic reaction to something and broke into hives–the mother of all hives. They rolled in and out in waves for days. I broke down and sought out drugs. They had limited effect.

In the midst of my misery, I lay in bed and sought some sort of mental distraction by exploring the metaphysical folks on YouTube. After a few false starts, I came upon the transmissions of Steve Nobel. I wasn’t sure what a “transmission” was and the titles were outside my familiar spiritual territory. For example, The Pallas Athena Transmission: Gifts of Light and Armour in Times of Great Need or The Aquarian Christ Transmission: Clear Piscean Programming and Receive a New Blessing of Light are just two of over 130 videos on his YouTube channel. But, what the heck, I was stuck in hive-hell. Maybe this would help. Steve’s calm English accent proved to be a balm for my fiery affliction. It turns out “transmissions” are meditations with a spiritual kick.

I knew I’d stumbled upon something more powerful than the usual chakra openings or grounding meditations. Steve generally begins the transmissions calling upon Archangels to create a north-south-east-west, above and below, energy field around the listener. He takes his time spinning images of energy fields, cleaning and clearing along the way. It wasn’t long before my body began experiencing the familiar sensations of spiritual connection–buzzing, jolting, and opening of the top chakra. He prepares the fields for the transmissions and then each one takes a unique journey. Many of the transmissions include bits of history while working at clearing old programming and raising frequency. I definitely felt better and more than a little intrigued.

Who is this guy? I visited his website, The Soul Matrix, for more information. Here is the blurb on the home page and info on Steve.


Information, news, ideas/tools, and free resources on: ascension, global awakening, consciousness, meditation, energy hygiene and healing, psychic protection, starseeds and much more…

Steve Ahnael Nobel is the author of 5 non-fiction books, the most recent is a free Ebook entitled ‘Starseeds’. Previous to working with The Soul Matrix he was a director of a not for profit spiritual organisation called Alternatives (based in St. James’s Church, Piccadilly, London W1) for 13 years, leaving on the Winter Solstice of 2012. Subsequently after leaving he began his own work. He created a healing system called Soul Matrix Healing. He also began creating free resources including meditations and transmission to help Starseeds which are freely available on his website and YouTube channel. These meditations and transmissions are played all over the world and so far, the platform has over 39K subscribers. He regularly runs events in London and retreats in the UK and Europe.

*********

There are several interviews available on YouTube with Steve and I’ve listened to a few. His life took a dramatic turn in 2012 when the foundations of both his job and personal relationships ended. In one interview he states he thinks he had a “walk-in” experience, where the old personality is replaced or, perhaps, superseded by a new one. It takes time to assimilate such an event. Steve doesn’t spend a great deal talking about himself. His ego appears to be held in check, which can be a challenge when you have a following of 40,000 and growing.

His current mission appears to be preparing “Starseeds” in what is recognized as the Ascension, this post-2012 period.  He doesn’t claim to be a trance channel. It’s unclear to me the source of his “transmissions.” Personally, I don’t care. I enjoy them on their own merit. I find them relaxing and rejuvenating.

Were they a cure for my hives? Uh, no. But they helped get me through a difficult period and I continue to incorporate them into my life. My relief from the hives and nasty tick bite came from a totally awesome local acupuncturist. But that’s another story…

Awaken Your Inner Dolphin

I’ve been hanging around the metaphysical section of book stores for decades. New Age, channeling, healing, past life therapy, pre-life planning, spirit guides–I’ve pretty much read it all. So, it’s rare when I pick up a book that has a new angle, a fresh story to tell. Inner Dolphin Awakening: Opening Time Capsules of Joy, Telepathy, and Multidimensionality by Jan Lemuri opens some interesting vistas, even for a jaded old New Ager, like myself.

Jan Lemuri

Jan and I became “Facebook friends” a while back through a Lee Carroll/Kryon connection. We are both well-versed in the Kryon world view of expanding consciousness that emerges after listening to dozens of messages given across the globe. Regarding dolphins and whales, Kryon states that cetaceans have a special relationship to the earth. They are the memory keepers of the planet. They may be far more evolved spiritually than human beings. Dolphins and whales are playing key roles in raising the consciousness of the planet.
Jan and I share a common multidimensional bond with dolphins. In my book, Supernal Adventures: Exploring the New Normal of Multidimensional Living, I recall a “dolphin attunement,” when I had a vision of becoming a dolphin and swimming with a pod. My affinity with dolphins has continued since that frequency bonded into my auric field.
Jan’s spiritual journey with dolphins has set the course of his life. He has traveled the globe to swim and commune with cetaceans in their natural habitats. The dolphins have become his spiritual teachers and family as he has grown into a multidimensional connection with them.
Inner Dolphin Awakening begins with Jan’s personal spiritual memoir. Born in the small central European country of Slovenia, Jan was raised in a non-spiritual home. His father was an avowed atheist and his mother a nurse who focused on the physical realities of life. A series of spiritually charged experiences as a teenager opened the mental door to esoteric exploration. Illness led to discovering Reiki and energy healing. Kryon channels caught his attention. After a few years, dolphins entered his consciousness through dreams.
Jan traveled the globe to meet and commune with dolphins. He studied dolphins and wrote a thesis on Assisted Dolphin Therapy, which is a growing field.  Ultimately, inter-species communication entered the picture.
The book moves beyond memoir to exploring the spiritual possibilities of communication with cetaceans. It’s possible they have been waiting for humans to reach a level of consciousness where we can receive the messages they have to share.
Dolphins seem to live in a state of joy. If they can inspire joyful living in humans, wouldn’t the world be a better place?
Inner Dolphin Awakening adds to the esoteric library a fascinating glimpse of evolving understanding of global consciousness, universal oneness, and inter-species communication.
Pick up or download a copy and you may discover an Inner Dolphin waiting to be awakened in you!

Available at Amazon: Inner Dolphin Awakening by Jan Lemuri

Following Christ Without the Old Time Religion

Danaheadshot  by Dana Taylor

Despite my New Age outward appearances, I am a follower of Christ. I hesitate to use the word, “Christian” as that often carries a variety of images and messages that I do not endorse. To name a few:
  • Eternal damnation
  • Patriarchy
  • Homophobia
  • Sanctified racism
  • War in the name of religion
I wasn’t raised in a tight Christian community. Southern California is a cultural crossroads. While the seeds of my faith were planted by my Christian mother, we stopped attending any church by the time I was ten years old. My high school and college years were times of growth and exploration. One of the greatest gifts of my culture was the freedom to think for myself. I didn’t have a pastor, rabbi, mullah, guru, father or mother imposing spiritual beliefs on me. People are born with a wide array of talents and tendencies. I was always intuitive and spiritually curious.
Like attracts like, so I made a best friend also fascinated by esoteric matters. There was many a rowdy teenage party that found us in a small room talking about Edgar Cayce and reincarnation while others were getting wasted.
My senior year in college took me to a four month internship in Oklahoma, where I met a young attorney and we enjoyed a whirlwind romance. He asked me to marry him three weeks into our dating life. My biggest hesitation was the fact he was a strong Christian and I was not. The afternoon of his proposal, we discussed our spiritual divide. But love and lust conquers all. We married. During our newlywed months, he generally attended church without me while I cleaned house on Sunday mornings. Eventually, I stepped into the Oklahoma culture where attending church is the foundation of community and making friendships. But, attending church does not a Christian make.
My faith began as curiosity, listening to an excellent, intellectual minister every week, and meeting people of strong beliefs. But becoming a follower of Christ requires meeting the Christ Spirit. There are life-changing moments — experiences so profound, they alter the course of one’s existence. They might be quite grand, with lots of drama, or they might be quiet and personal.

Prince of Peace by Akiane Kramarik

I met the Christ Spirit quietly in my bedroom one otherwise uneventful day. I’d been reading the Bible daily and considering all the angles. I’d even started sensing a Presence. At some point I said, “Okay, if you want me, I’d like to be on your team.” Or something like that. No great confessions. No howling to heaven. But it was enough. A power from beyond poured over me. Agape love. God’s love. Christ’s love.  L-O-V-E. Something so wonderful, the earthly love I’d felt before paled in comparison. I couldn’t see it with my regular eyes, but in my mind’s eye, the room glowed with rivers of sparkling light flowing over me. It was my personal mountain top experience. While I couldn’t live at the pinnacle of that mountain forever, I’ve settled in at a lower altitude.
However, finding faith, did not make me lose my intelligence or spiritual curiosity. It seems to me the message of Christ is simple and beautiful. Love one another. Forgive one another. Take care of one another. The message of the crucifixion was the power over death. Christ rose from the dead and His Spirit lives on, touching millions of lives every day, every hour.

A QUESTIONABLE CHURCH HISTORY

mariaAt this point I have mixed feelings about the historical teachings of the institutional church. From the time Emperor Constantine quit the persecution of Christians and embraced the new religion, men began manipulating the masses for control. The church has attracted true saints and also those wolves in sheeps’ clothing Jesus warned about. Killing in the name of Christ brought us the Crusades, the Inquisition, pogroms, and assorted religious wars. Men’s cultural power over women was reinforced by church doctrine. Many sermons make me grind my teeth when I hear a “woman’s place” given as God’s edict. (As an Oklahoma friend of mine put it, I am sick and tired of some middle aged white man telling me how I should live.) The faithful have suffered grievously from priestly sexual abuse finally exposed in recent years. It hasn’t all been pretty, pious, or peaceful.
Yet, Christ lives. He brought the message of Forgiveness, Love, and Everlasting Life. It was as revolutionary a concept 2,500 years ago as it remains today. He’s still communicating and teaching through those with the spiritual antennas to hear Him. In fact, he’s coming in more clearly than ever before. Study A Course in Miracles, begin your days with Jesus Calling. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
One of my personal missions is simply to encourage people to think for themselves. I hear from readers of Ever-Flowing Streams: Christ, Reiki, Reincarnation and Me, who have felt they are somehow betraying their Christian faith by exploring ideas outside their standard church doctrine. It’s scary to break the bonds of a fear-based theology. What if the Devil really is out there to grab you?
Followers of Christ enter a higher spiritual realm. We don’t need to live in fear of spiritual boogie men. We do need to exercise discernment. There are dark entities and dangerous paths. But weigh whether a warning is grounded in intuitive discernment or old thinking. Is your bias spiritual or cultural? 
My faith in an active, loving Christ spirit has expanded, even as I’ve embraced concepts of re-birth and quantum physics. Jesus himself was a master of quantum realities ~ he walked on water, controlled the weather, and energy healed. He shook up the status quo and challenged the old guard. I’m simply following his example.
At the end of the day, it comes back to Love and Forgiveness. Jesus represents a global shift from a revenged based culture (an eye for an eye) to a forgiveness culture (forgive seventy times seventy). It’s 2,500 years later and we’re still trying to make that shift. 
There’s a lot of talk today about Light Workers. Many people from across the globe, including myself, identify themselves as Light Workers, spreading love and higher energy frequency to raise the consciousness of modern humanity. That all sounds very New Age, very Eastern, but Jesus may have been the first Light Worker. That’s why I’m still on His team.

I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8: 12

The World According to Kryon

Lee Carroll

Lee Carroll

Danaheadshot book reviews by Dana Taylor

My Kryon education continues. Since I moved to Hawaii in February, I’ve had a lot of me time. As synchronicity would have it, I discovered the wealth of Kryon free audios at Kryon.com. Kryon is a nonphysical  angelic teacher who has been channeling through Lee Carroll for over twenty-five years. As I’ve walked the Manoa Valley streets or sat on my lanai gazing at the rainforest hills, Kryon has been my otherworldly companion, thanks to the magic of iPhones.

Grasping the messages of cosmic creation, physics, human development, spirituality and beyond is fascinating and challenging. Over the years, Carroll has written 13 books compiling the messages into cohesive order to help us mere humans make sense out of it all. Now, with Carroll’s blessing and Kryon’s collaboration, Australian author Monika Muranyi has researched the Kryon messages and woven two books together, The Gaia Effect and The Human Akash.

The Gaia Effect: The Remarkable System of Collaboration between Gaia and Humanity

619k+VSKhUL._SL1358_This book is making me look at earth and nature in a whole new light. Gaia is the term for a spiritual intelligence of the planet earth. Kryon paints a picture of the earth as part of the cosmos, connected by other galactic intelligence. Our sense of history is minuscule compared to the viewpoint of an ageless nonphysical being. He speaks of a sacred design of the earth and its human inhabitants, nurtured by spiritual forces. He invites us to rediscover the wisdom of indigenous people who sensed the intelligence embedded in the natural world.

Several civilizations have risen and fallen over the course of time beyond any modern comprehension. With the dawn of the nuclear age, humans came close to obliterating our current civilization. Kryon’s hopeful message is that we passed a major marker in 2012. We did not destroy ourselves. We are awakening into the New Age. Gaia is shifting and changing with us.

If you’re ready to have your paradigms shifted and everything you considered “truth” challenged, pick up a copy of The Gaia Effect and read about the world according to Kryon.

71eLySNp-XL._SL1494_-2The Human Akash: A Discovery of the Blue Print Within

The Akashic Records have gained attention in recent years. Coming from the Sanskrit, Akash or Akasha refers to space and the essence of all things in the material world. Edgar Cayce referred to the Akashic Records in his health readings in the first half of the 20th century, sparking interest in metaphysical thinkers. Akashic Records readers have sprung up, many trained on the teachings of Ernesto Ortiz, Linda Howe, and the leaders of the Akashic Records Consultants International (ARCI).

Everyone supposedly has an Akashic Record including every lifetime lived on the planet and perhaps  beyond. But where are these records? What exactly is the Akashic Field?

Monika Muryani combed through the voluminous collection of Kryon messages, ferreting out references to the Akash. What light can Kryon shed on the mysterious subject?

Indeed, Kryon provides detailed information defining the whole Akashic system that involves the earth and everyone who has ever dwelled here. In The Human Akash you’ll read about the Cave of Creation, the Crystalline Grid and many fantastical new concepts. The core idea is the notion that our DNA stores Akashic information, hence the subtitle referring to the “Blue Print Within.” Much of “junk” DNA is tied to our Akash, plus we each have energetic DNA entangled in our energy body that can’t be seen by the human eye under a microscope. The Akashic Field entangles individuals, the earth, and the cosmos together.

Much of what makes us unique is DNA Akashic information from countless lifetimes. Kryon talks a lot about “mining your Akash,” finding all the talents and strengths from previous incarnations to enhance the current one. That’s an intriguing idea.

The Akashic DNA also explains the extraordinary children being born on the planet. As we enter the new cosmos age, the DNA is changing. Children will “remember” more of their past lives and tap into talents. They will develop and learn faster partly because they will access their Akashic information in an unprecedented manner.

The Human Akash will challenge your understanding of how the world works.

Ultimately, Kryon is an encourager. He knows “old souls” have been through a lot of struggle. They have their doubts that humankind will ever quit repeating a pattern of war and global destruction. Kryon says we’re on a new path, creating a better world than we can even imagine.

I hope he is right. At any rate, the books and audio messages are food for thought..and hope for the future.

And so it is.

Book Review: New Age Classic “The Parables of Kryon”

 

“The Parables of Kryon” by Lee Carroll was first published in 1996. At that time I was living in Oklahoma, the buckle of the Bible Belt, basically a galaxy away from Del Mar, CA where Mr. Carroll was at the forefront of the New Age movement. The Kryon material is channeled information, which in many circles still has the connotation of being straight from the Devil’s Lair. I’ve found channeled material to run the gamut from the ridiculous (“greetings, Earthlings”) to life changing (“A Course in Miracles”).

Since acquiring a Kindle, I enjoy exploring all the spiritual book lists seeking the rare gem, the classic I missed along the way. I’d vaguely heard of Lee Carroll and Kryon, even in the insulated heartland, and decided to risk perdition by downloading “The Parables of Kryon.” What I discovered was a delightful collection of twenty deceptively “simple” stories rich with profound life lessons.  Just as Jesus taught the villagers of his day through tales like The Prodigal Son, The Sower of Seeds, and The Good Samaritan, Kryon shares his philosophy via the storytelling tool.

The book begins with the brief “Parable of the Tar Pit” where everyone thinks being covered in tar is normal until one person is suddenly washed clean. Carroll serves as interpreter of the Kryon tales he receives, spelling out the spiritual lesson in case you missed it. Disciples can be a little dense, as Jesus learned when he had to explain the Sower of the Seeds analogy to his followers. Likewise, Carroll makes clear the philosophical lessons behind “The Big, Fuzzy Caterpillar” (a wormy creature who misses the chance to become a butterfly), “The Two Groups of Warriors” (reminiscent of putting on the whole armor of God in Ephesians), “David the Indian” (who breaks through foggy boundaries) and the rest with summaries at the end of each story.

I found myself reading one parable a morning, like a daily devotional, ruminating on the spiritual lessons, sometimes agreeing, sometimes not, but each story was always food for thought. The piece stands as a sort of spiritual movement historical marker, using phrases like “New Age” and “life contract” that were once new and have now taken on a lot of baggage.  The order of the stories starts with universal life lessons that would not rock many boats to increasingly New Age concepts of reincarnation and karmic principles that would definitely send mainstream Christians back behind their fences.

Still, for those spiritual explorers who enjoyed hearing Bible stories in Sunday school, “The Parables of Kryon” delivers some interesting concepts in a variety of entertaining tales.
