In time the harmony and peace we desire will no longer come and go in each passing moment. As we continue our efforts to attune and align ourselves with the God of our Heart, all that we need will be provided for us. What our lives hold is our truth. No longer will we feel the need to be beggars at the banquet of life. Our opportunity comes from holding in every thought moment a sense of the Divine presence that pervades our universe, and knowing we are not ever alone.

Jorge Luis Delgado has given us Andean Awakening: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru. From cover to cover, Andean Awakening is a walk with Delgado through “Mystical Peru” and his own spiritual evolution. We follow Jorge as he quite unintentionally becomes recognized in his community as a chacaruna or “bridge person who helps one cross from one state of consciousness to other states of consciousness or other realms.” The story continues up to and through the life of Jorge as “Peru’s premier spiritual tour guide.”

So what are the ancient “2012 prophecies?” Where do they come from and what do they say about our current times? What is the predicted “new age?” What is the ancient Mayan Calendar and why is it getting such attention now, in light of these predictions of a shift of the ages? Do women have a special role in all this? Why does Pittsburgh play such an important geographic role in these prophecies and evolutionary shifts? What do Pittsburghers need to understand, and what do we need to do, to be a vital part of this grand evolutionary process? These critical issues bear further exploration.

When you have money, see your money as a source of good; see it as potential to create higher purpose that has yet to be converted into substance and form. Keep picturing all your money in the bank or in your wallet as money that is awaiting your command to go out and create good for you and others. Appreciate your abundance, and realize that you have learned to tap in to the unlimited abundance of the universe. Your money is awaiting the opportunity to bring you good, and to improve your life and the lives of others.

The Grandmothers are women of prayer and action. They’ve come together from around the globe — the Arctic Circle, North, Central and South America, Asia and Africa — because they were told in prophecy that their ancestral ways of prayer, peace-making and healing are vitally needed in the world today. They speak in one united voice to awaken the people of the world to the catastrophic consequences we face if we don’t change the way we relate to each other and our Mother Earth. Accomplished indigenous healers/medicine women, the grandmothers inspire change through their living example.

This is a book for these times, casting a spotlight on ego, victimhood, and fear based thinking in all its manifestations. You will recognize yourself and others on an individual level and come to understand terrorism, corporate greed and government war-mongering on a collective or global level. We need The Leap to a higher functioning, now more than ever — but as the author says there is more hope now and more positive signs of a higher consciousness at work than ever before. With The Leap it may be easier now than ever before, too.

Darfur is an area about the size of Texas in western Sudan. The approximately 6 million inhabitants of Darfur are among the poorest in Africa with hardly any access to roads, ports, or even water sources. They exist largely on subsistence farming or nomadic herding. Even in good times, the Darfuri people live a difficult life; these are not good times in Darfur.The current crisis in Darfur began in 2003. After decades of neglect, drought and oppression, two rebel groups mounted an insurgency against Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir. President al-Bashir’s response was brutal. To defeat the rebel movements, he armed and supported several milititant groups, now collectively known as the Janjaweed. Here’s how everyone, especially school students, can HELP!!
