ALICE HERZ-SOMMER, A SURVIVOR!

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend an article presently on the Internet about a woman named, ALICE HERZ-SOMMER.
Title of news article, FOR HOLOCUST SURVIVOR, LIFE IS STILL BEAUTIFUL.  She is a former concert pianist, who celebrates her 107th birthday today!
For most of my life, every time I came in contact with the word, HOLOCUST (The one involving the Jewish People in the world).  It seemed to always take me at least five minutes to pull myself together from having "very sad and dark feelings" in my heart.  I just really found it so difficult to imagine "one human being" creating this kind of pain to so many other living innocent souls on this planet??? (The name of the man who planned these painful and hateful acts was the first to come to mind, when I first discovered the term, ANTI-CHRIST). 
Here is a beautiful soul who will bring a "Light" to any of those who choose to read about her journey during this horrible time of our civilization.

Love and Light!

MARIPOSA THE PREMIER BUTTERFLY GALLERY

SINCE THE HOLIDAYS ARE ONCE AGAIN APPROACHING US ALL, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY'S ECONOMY DOES NOT APPEAR AS STRONG AS IN PAST TIMES, PURCHASING GIFTS MIGHT BE DONE VERY "CAREFULLY?"
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO VISIT MY SITE WHEN CONSIDERING GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS, SINCE THERE ARE FEATURED QUITE A LOT OF REASONABLE GIFT ITEMS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. (http://www.mariposagallery.net/)
THERE ARE MANY RELIGIONS WHICH CONSIDER THE "BUTTERFLY" A SYMBOL OF "A NEW BEGINNING".  I STILL REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHILE VISITING THE DESERT IN CALIFORNIA FOR EASTER AND ATTENDING CHURCH ON EASTER SUNDAY.  A LARGE BUTTERFLY WAS THE PICTURE ON THE PROGRAM FOR THE SERVICES THAT MORNING.  I FOUND THAT INTERESTING.  WHAT A SURPRISE WHEN I PRESENTED THE QUESTION TO SOMEONE IN THE CONGREGATION, "WHY WAS A BUTTERFLY CHOSEN FOR THE COVER OF THE PROGRAM?"  I WAS SURPRISED WHEN TOLD, "OH, YOU DID NOT KNOW? THE BUTTERFLY REPRESENTS THE RESURRECTION!"
WITH TIME I DISCOVERED THIS WAS COMMON IN MANY RELIGIONS.  BUT AFTER GIVING THE SUBJECT MUCH THOUGHT, I FOUND SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS CONCEPT.  THE TWO BUTTERFLIES THAT ARE DISPLAYED ABOVE DIED "MORE THAN 25 YEARS AGO!"  AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY REMAIN BEAUTIFUL AND INTACT.  THESE PARTICULAR BUTTERFLIES ARE CALLED, "MORPHO MENELAUS" AND THE LIFESPAN IS "24 HOURS".  IN AREAS OF BRASIL WHERE THEY ORIGINATE, WHEN WALKING IN VARIOUS COUNTRYSIDES, YOU WOULD VIEW HUNDREDS, EVEN THOUSANDS, WHICH HAVE EXPIRED AND FALLEN TO THE GROUND.  (AFTER MATING AND LAYING THEIR EGGS, THEY USUALLY DIE).  THEY DO NOT DISINTEGRATE IN ANY WAY.  THEY REMAIN AT YOU SEE THEM IN THE PICTURE ABOVE.....INTACT AND BEAUTIFUL......FOREVER!                                                               I  REMEMBER READING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STORY ONE DAY ABOUT TWO CATERPILLARS.  THEIR NAMES WERE, JOHN AND HENRY.  THEY WERE VERY, VERY CLOSE FRIENDS.  ONE DAY JOHN LOOKED FOR HIS FRIEND HENRY AND FOUND HIS EMPTY COCOON EMPTY AND CRUSHED.  HE WAS DEVASTATED.  HE BEGAN TO CRY UNCONTROLLABLY, " OOOOH, MY FRIEND IS DEAD!  I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED.... I FEEL SO SAD AND ALONE NOW".  SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE, THE MOST MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY FLEW OVER JOHN'S HEAD AND LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND CALLED TO JOHN, "JOHN! JOHN! WHY ARE YOU CRYING? WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?"  JOHN REPLIES WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN HIS FACE, "LEAVE ME ALONE.  MY FRIEND HAS DIED!"  HENRY YELLED BACK, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JOHN??? IT'S ME, HENRY!!!"  JOHN SAID, "GO AWAY YOU CRUEL THING, HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME? MY FRIEND JOHN IS DEAD AND GONE!"  HENRY CONTINUED TO LAUGH AND FLAP HIS MAGNIFICENT WINGS AND REPLIED, "OH JOHN, SOON YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.  I AM FINE!"

Love and Light!

RECENT BOOKS COMPLETED AND RECCOMENDED!

I have completed reading several books recently that I would like to suggest.
I would highly recommend RAYMOND MOODY, MD's latest release, GLIMPSES OF ETERNITY (SHARING A LOVED ONE'S PASSAGE FROM THIS LIFE TO THE NEXT) 
Also, EVIDENCE of the AFTERLIFE by JEFFREY LONG, MD with PAUL PERRY.  (THE LARGEST NDE STUDY EVER CONDUCTED REVEALS PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH)  The Science Of Near-Death Experiences.
I wish to also inform you of another book that is not exactly new, but new to me on EDGAR CAYCE.  MANY MANSIONS, THE EDGAR CAYCE STORY ON REINCARNATION.  Written by, GINA CERMINARA.  It contains an introduction by one of Edgar Cayce's sons, HUGH LYNN CAYCE .
EDGAR CAYCE, was considered one of the most remarkable Healers and Psychics who ever lived. 
He was so shocked by his first vision of a "previous" life that he rejected its significance.  But repeatedly, during his "readings" of subjects he uncovered many past lives.  These lives would explain the subjects' present dilemmas and conflicts.  The evidence in Cayce's files shows why he himself finally accepted the concept of reincarnation.
In closing for now, I would also like to suggest a recent CD by KELLY HOWELL that I am using religiously, and find it really rewarding in my development, PRAYER. 
More later,
Love and Light!

SUGGESTED RECENT TELEVISION SHOW ON "VICTIMS"

FYI I thought I would inform those that might be interested, the recent television show that will be in two parts, presented by OPRAH WINFREY in association with TYLER PERRY.
I caught it by some, "Divine intervention" since I am not really an regular television buff.  The shows are specials featuring a couple hundred adult men reminiscing about being molested during their childhood.  (There was also a featured a "non-stop smiling"  Psychiatrist who specialized in supposedly helping abused men deal with the sad feelings or carrying their memories of abuse in their present lives.)
You might wish to look this up on your local guides for show times. 
Unfortunately, I was unable to sit through most of the show since I found it difficult watching and listening to Oprah Winfrey repeatedly refer to those that had been the molesters as "less than human" and seemingly no one wished to even consider the possibilities of what the "true character, soul or spirit" of the misguided and dark entities, whom had performed these acts on young children in their families. 
Below is a photo of " ME", age 6.  Continuing on with my "unrealized" journey, in spite of the fact that I had been in turmoil of having been both sexually and emotionally abused.  Not being aware of the fact at the time, that I was continuing on my journey attempting to primarily, living in somewhat of a fantasy world created by in all probability, my own thoughts and not falling into that devastating trap of becoming a VISIBLY SAD AND MARKED SO CALLED, "VICTIM!"

Once again I say, due to my present and past thoughts about what this particular subject focused on, having been a molested child myself, I was tremendously frustrated by the "doom and gloom" of both Ms. Winfrey and Mr. Tyler which added to an atmosphere of great darkness upon the men in attendance.
I did not get the impression that this audience was being enlightened or being given a wrap around air of LIGHT!  Instead, I felt once again, celebrities, producers and the media, glow in the misfortunes and drama of their fellow Brothers and Sisters!  For those in the viewing audience who love lots of tears, and emotional drama, this is a "hit" presentation.   It presents itself with the usual desire for financial gain and popularity.
Love and Light!
