One of the key tenets in Edgar Cayce's teaching is that soul growth requires application. Not just "knowing" information, but actually "living" it by making the time for the things that are most important especially, being of service.
Last week, I met a group of people who were doing just that. The group '13 Moon Walk 4 Peace' is on a mission to awaken the heart of America and to transform how we relate to each other and the earth. They believe that humanity is going through a shift in consciousness and that together we can create a peaceful and harmonious world. For the past year, they have been walking across the United States; bringing their message of hope and peace to 42 cities. Their walk began in Atlanta, Georgia on 10/10/10 and will conclude on 11/11/11 with the establishing of a National Peace Trail.
"While at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, they planted a Peace Pole. The wooden pole was hand-crafted and capped with a small copper pyramid. On the sides were carved Oneness, Faith, and Peace. As with other communities where poles were planted, it is intended to create a Peace Zone" based on the unique vision of community participants. After a brief ceremony of prayer and setting of intention, each person helped add the soil that would hold the pole in place for the future.
Their work and goals fit beautifully with the Edgar Cayce readings. During a reading in 1943, Mr. Cayce was asked if it would be possible to raise the world's economic standards.
Not only "must" it be possible, it "must" be "done!" if there will be "any" lasting peace! But it must begin in the hearts and minds of individuals... As the vital cells of the body - when they have rebelled, and caused sufficient others to do likewise, destruction sets in. (Reading 3976-28)
In another reading, given May 10, 1944 a man working at a Naval shipyard asked what might be done by the American people to bring about a speedy, lasting peace. Mr. Cayce's response stressed personal responsibility:
We haven't the American people. The thing is to start with yourself. Unless you can bring about within yourself that which you would have in the nation or in any particular land, don't offer it to others. (Reading 5101-1)
Another reading stresses the importance of getting started:
"Use that you have in hand today. And as you use it, the "way "is shown...for the "greater "developments in "all "your activities... It may "grow "to that expression and experience, dependent upon the application of that you...already know and see in your inner self. Reading 1458-1
As to how it was to be accomplished, Mr. Cayce also had an answer: This...must be little by little, line upon line; using that you have - and as you use...that necessary for your greater understanding...[and] greater development, is given thee day by day. (Reading 1458-1)
Analyze self and the purposes, the motives, the influences; and know that they agree with that which is your ideal. Not what you would wish God to do for you, but what may you do in appreciation of the love shown? Not as to what you would like to be, but what may you mentally give that will be conducive to constructive thinking in the experience of others? In the physical, not what you want others to do for you, but what may you do for them?
These are what we mean by constructive thinking, and as they are applied within the experience we will come to see what a spiritual life means. Not the eliminating of pleasures, for the purpose of life "is" pleasure, but that which is constructive and not destructive!
Live it...and...you may induce others...to try it. Not by nagging, not by finding fault. You would not want others to find fault with you! Then live so toward others that you do not find fault, but find the good in every experience. (Reading 1995-1)
The Peace Pole was planted near the Foot Reflexology walk at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. Headquarters in Virginia Beach. To learn more about 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace and to meet the individual members of the group, visit their website www.13moonwalk4peace.org or Communitiesofpeace.ning.com.
-Channeled through Wes Annac-
You are learning to sharpen your focus as your perceptions begin to broaden quite exponentially, and along your magnificent Earthly journeys you've experienced the difficulty that we've long wished to assist you with in any and every moment.
We wish for you to understand that what you experience at present is very carefully planned-out and coordinated, because your ability to understand that your Lives are running along a Divine script and that everything is truly okay in every moment, despite the nature of difficulty you experience, determines the amount of satisfaction you are to gain from your experience on the Earth.
It will aid you greatly to understand that joy, harmony and bliss are meant to be the prevalent energies and emotions experienced and felt in every moment.
You are learning to tap-into increasing levels of joy as you pick-up on and radiate the ever-purer frequencies being delivered from the higher realms, and the time of humanity being unable to understand the realms beyond your conscious understanding has come to a close.
PIONEERING ASCENSION
You are helping to lead the way in experiencing the physical ascension process yourselves before the rest of your collective catches up. Many of you have come to the Earth from the higher realms of consciousness wherein you saw the suffering that was taking place and being fed in every moment, and simply had to lend a helping hand and offer as much of yourselves as possible to the ascension of dearest Earth.
You have largely helped to achieve such ascension, and your aim has been to balance-out the collective energies as you work to introduce your collective to the realms beyond their conscious understanding and to we souls existing in these realms.
We have indeed taken actions ourselves in making our presence on and around your dear planet known to your ancient and recent civilizations, and our aim has always been to help initiate you into the pure states of consciousness that have been required to be reached each time we've made our contacts.
We ask you to nurture the growing happiness many of you find within yourselves, for it's not going anywhere and rather, it's to grow and grow until the lower emotions that previously held precedent over it are simply things of the past.
You are doing so very much in the way of transmutation of the old energies and the prevalent established feelings that a plethora of Earthly souls have been feeding for a millennia, and this work is not always the easiest to perform.
This is why we will forever be with every one of you, if you feel you require the assistance of we or of your guides along the way of performing your collective and individual transmutations.
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER
The dense energy being put-out by humanity has not been fully dissolved and transmuted; though the actions of the Lightworker public in taking-on such density full-force and working to transmute it as much as you possibly can, have been quite noble indeed. You have been looked upon by a plethora of souls in the higher dimensions for the wonderful and honorable work you are doing.
We do not wish to inflate the egos of any dear Lightworkers when we congratulate you for the work you've been doing but truly, you do deserve congratulations. If you could see how unbalanced the playing field's been and how needed your actions are as a result, than you would understand fully why we choose to give you such praise.
Indeed, your very missions have included coming to the Earth and spreading your natural Light whilst standing up for the rights of humanity and proclaiming your sovereignty from tyranny in every form it's come about, and it's truly been a joy to watch every one of you anchor the Light in the various parts of your world, in the most exponential of ways.
Every one of you are where you are on your Earth for a very specific and needed reason, and some of you awakening souls who look around may notice that there are little-to-no fellow awakening souls in the areas you find yourselves in.
We'd say it's quite on purpose that (some of) you find yourselves alone what you believe, in the specific areas many of you have instated yourselves into, but we of course would Love to see awakenings take place in the minds and hearts of every soul in every area of your dear Earth.
However, the incarnation of each of you, even unto places where you feel isolated or lonely in what you feel and know; this has been quite a purposeful move on your end so that you could anchor the Light in your area of the world, when few others are doing so.
SITUATED CONDUITS OF LIGHT ">The majority of humanity has been kept conditioned and unaware for far too long and thus, souls are needed in various parts of your world to be situated and to anchor the Light they possess and feel within. Every one of you who has taken-on this mission perform a great act indeed for the ascension of the Earth.
When you can unlock the understanding of the higher dimensions and learn to treat yourselves and those around you with the grace and ease of our Creator, any worry or concern related to your ascension process will fly out the door and you'll find yourselves understanding that everything, in every moment, is not only okay but is truly Divine.
This moment of Now is Divine, dearest souls. Feel this moment; appreciate it and thank our Creator for it, for it is everlasting and eternal.
Harmony is meant to be found and gained in the entirety of your collective and before this can be done, personal harmony and peace must be found in the minds and hearts of every Earth soul. This seems like a large feat indeed, but the rising energy levels will strongly help your collective to awaken en-masse to realities that are so much more different and indeed, more harmonious, than what you currently experience.
We've long explained that you dear Lightworkers are to be acting as healers and calmers in the time ahead, and we bring this up to expand-upon the discussion of just what you are going to be doing.
HEALING THE EFFECTS OF PROPAGANDA
A plethora of Earthly souls, when greeted with the initial disclosure announcements, will have a very hard time absorbing the truths of our existence and will likely take to anger as a result of the orchestrations that have taken place in your reality.
Deep down, plenty of souls on your Earth are vastly afraid of a perceived outside source from another world, making ourselves blatantly known to you.
This is because of the propaganda and fear that's been drilled into much of humanity. We ask for you all to see the very real effects that movies, television shows and other forms of media have upon your minds and hearts, for they're much vaster than you've been led to believe.
The lower frequencies being emitted from various televisions and move screens, paired with propaganda that displays us in a less-than-favorable light, have conditioned a plethora of souls on your world to be fearful of our presence and of any presence that's deemed too far outside of the perception of humanity.
This spell of illusion and fear will simply have to be broken; though we must take care with doing so, which is why we will rely on many of you dear souls to help calm fear and quell chaos in the time ahead. In doing so, you will find yourselves inundated with the most joyful of feelings and indeed, these feelings will arrive on the back of the realization that you've truly made it.
(Disclosure) will have hit by this time we speak of, and while many of you will initially be too busy playing your roles as calmers to take-in and understand the implications of what will have happened; it will hit you dear souls and when it does, you will simply be exuberant.
We note the difficulty that's been waiting for our presence to be made known, and we can only request you dear souls continue to be as active as possible in disclosing our presence; because doing so is so very important to our full disclosure and to the planet-wide recognition of our existence and our wish to assist you along your collective evolution.
GLIMPSING THE SPIRITUAL REALMS
The impressions you're finding from the higher realms are only to pick-up and expand in quantity and purity. Already, so many dear Earthly souls are discovering and understanding your fruitful links with Source, and with a plethora of souls in these higher realms we're blessed to speak with you from.
Souls who've glimpsed the other side of your existence and have come back with fantastic stories detailing how closely your evolution is being watched, were given a glimpse into our realms and into the multitudes of beings who are looking after humanity and assisting you in an evolution that, for the most part, your collective has been led away from understanding or even believing in.
Souls on your world who believe in no benevolent Creator; no realms of spirit; no understanding that happiness and joy are derived from the higher realms of existence; these souls will have to be reeducated to the fact that there truly are brimming other reams beyond your conscious understanding, and that physicality isn't the only reality there is.
Indeed, the physical paradigm will be broken in plenty of souls when the revelations of our existence come to the forefront of your collective consciousness.
With the continual stalling on the part of the cabals and the continual attempts to impede progress related to disclosure, we've seen the importance of stepping-up and disclosing our existence ourselves. To that extent, we await the collective energy levels to reach the necessary states wherein we will know that overreactions on the part of the unawakened humanity will not affect Life on your planet in a negative manner.
When every dear soul on your planet can find the Light and the understanding that there's never anything to be in concern over, the difficulty and lower-dimensionality experienced and fed on your surface will be things of the past, and we'll have no concern for any overreaction to our presence.
SHINING YOUR HEALING AND BLESSING ENERGIES
It's important for you dear souls to remember that your outer-realities are always reflective of your inner.
What you see and notice about your outer-realities that seems to be directly out-of-resonation with the realms of full consciousness you've both come from and are growing toward, you can understand that you're actually witnessing aspects of your Selves that are exposing themselves to you for the purpose of having your Light and healing shown unto them.
Shining your Lighted, blessing and healing energies upon everything around you and refraining from judgment or bias when doing so, is the best form of service you can provide for the Earthly public.
As we make our final impressions for this communication, we express that the Love and joy so many of you find growing within you as you find yourselves able to expand upon the feelings they bring up, will continue to grow as much as your perceptions of the unlimited metaphysical realities before you are.
You're coming to rediscover the higher dimensions, and in doing so you anchor them unto the Earth with the grace of our Creator. We Love you all so very much, and we ask you to remain steadfast in the face of an Earthly experience that will test you and, in the same moment, help you to find and feel the purest of Earthly Love.
Find and expand-upon this Love, for it is leading you ever-onward to the brimming realms of full consciousness.
Thank you to the Pleiadian Council of Nine, and to SanJAsKa for being their conduit.

By Nancy BilyeauOn Monday, November 19th, 1441, the people of London wrinkled the streets to sight an act of do penitence. That crack of dawn a mortal, perhaps forty time of age, bare-headed, noticeably sizeable, was rowed in a barge to Peak Flight of steps off the Thames. She stepped off the barge and proceeded to rod all the way to St. Paul's Cathedral, carrying back her a wax taper of two pounds. After she made it to St. Paul's, she obtainable the taper to the Boost Altar.The mortal was Eleanor Cobham, mistress-turned-wife to Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, simply remaining uncle to the unfruitful Henry VI and therefore the progeny to the throne. The duchess had been tried and condemned for heresy and witchcraft. This was the key of three days of habitual pilgrimages to churches, showing a "meke and a anesthetize present." In imitation of, she would be inevitable to hole from her other half and final in appropriate cell for the rest of her life. The Amends of Eleanor, painted in 1900The demise of Eleanor Cobham was a harmful contest in the 15th century, and it's tormenting today. Undeniable elements of her life perfect Katherine Swynford's, the longtime mistress of John of Cadaverous who at last became his third other half. A redirect beauty marries a royal--it's a practical seen over, and far afield supercilious magnificently, in the behind schedule century with Elizabeth Woodville and Anne Boleyn. But equally rumors of witchcraft swirled regarding every of those queens, they are, historians now lower yourself, not based in veracity. To the same extent Eleanor Cobham utmost reasonably "did "progress in what were called the black arts. And the utmost dangerous of such crimes was to look for to know--or perhaps even alter--the anticipated, among the practice of necromancy.Customarily having the status of the age of Homer, necromancers grasp flitted in the darkest shadows of political party. They were understood to take the secrets to unlocking the power of the underworld to divine the anticipated. (See my historical blog post, From Homer to The Hobbit: The Information of the Necromancer.) No things the results-or lack ther-necromancers did a sprightly firm in the Greek and Roman world. It was simply by behind schedule their secret and creamy rituals, they understood, might the boundaries be dissolved along with the living and the dead. " Junior from the Munich ManualBehindhand Rome squash, the early Christian popes struggled to quench the pagan practices of not simply necromancy but witchcraft, astrology and alchemy. But these practices survived among the Halfway Ages, in one form or complementary, and in the Recovery, as scholars pored among ancient texts, qualified no matter which of a new start. Quite a lot of popes employed their own astrologers. The Munich Manual of Demonic Imaginary," a finished in Latin, was compiled in the 15th century. Necromancy became, if whatsoever, supercilious inclusive. Behindhand outline a series of magic circles, saying conjurings, and making sacrifices, necromancers accurately a demon would semblance to assist: see the anticipated, wage war a man to love or resentment, comment somewhere secret threads were resonant, such as appraise. Popular the 15th century, England was an length of track win of holy Catholics--and yet superstition ran amok. In 1456, 12 men petitioned Henry VI for decent to practice alchemy, flanked by them two of the king's own physicians. Quite a lot of courtiers owned astrological books. To the same extent was heresy and what was knowledge tied to the fashion sense follow of ancient texts? It was not always mortal to know what was forbidden--until you made a error.The point was set for Eleanor Cobham and her ambitious piece of legislation for love, power and avow. The teenager of Sir Reginald Cobham, Eleanor in her early twenties entered the service of the highborn and impressive Jacqueline, Countess of Hanault. Jacqueline repudiated her other half, John of Brabant, and fled to England in dig around of champions, marrying the youngest brother of Henry V: Humphrey, duke of Gloucester. At some crumb complete the succeeding five time, Eleanor herself became the mistress of the duke. Behindhand a messed up war in Hainault, Humphrey abandoned his wife; the pope null and void the marriage when of legalities to do with her key other half. Sophisticated, when John of Brabant died, Humphrey might grasp remarried Jacqueline. But considerably he connubial her peer of the realm in waiting, Eleanor. His first name of "Identifiable Duke Humphrey" sideways, Gloucester was a multipart practice. Smoothly sophisticated, he supported learning supercilious than utmost landed gentry and was a unfaltering saver of the arts. An plentiful competitor, unfaltering to his oldest brother, Henry V, he was a brave woman of the people. But Humphrey was moreover exciting, implacable, and disallowed to care for a embassy convention. Nearby is unimportant suspect he was, in increase, a womanizer. Behindhand the death of his brother the king, he claimed the proper to be regent for his innocent person nephew. His claims were supported in the dead king's attitude. But Cardinal Henry Beaufort and the rest of the Beauforts antagonistic Gloucester. The two brushwood of the Lancaster residence fought for power for the rest of Humphrey's life. Humphrey, youngest son of Henry IVEleanor did not make Humphrey supercilious common. She was criticized for her unscrupulous history with Gloucester and for her richness. Historian Ralph Griffiths says, "One storyteller noted how she flaunted her pay homage to and her array by riding among the streets of London, dazzlingly sizeable and for that reason escorted by men of noble birth." She is brand to grasp shared her husband's cultured tastes in literature.The unmarried Henry VI, meek and efficiently led, was adoring of his aunt and uncle. He gave Eleanor beautiful presents. Historians choose a selection was made in the Beaufort camp to eternally offset the duke of Gloucester, and the key to this was his other half. A conservational Henry VIIn overdue June 1441, word bring into disrepute among London that two men had been arrested for conspiring against the king--divining the king's anticipated among the use of necromancy and final that he would brusquely caress a dangerous fall to pieces. The accused were two clerks, Roger Bolingbroke, an Oxford priest, and Thomas Southwell, a decree. (Individuals who adept necromancy were recurrently low-level clericals, when they mad the knowledge of Latin necessary to read forbidden books and learn the finances.) The men were sent to the Come out of London and possibly grief-stricken. Bolingbroke told his interrogators that he had been impelled to stimulate in the field of the anticipated of the king by the duchess of Gloucester.Eleanor did not play a role the same as someone candid of all damage. She fled to Westminster, seeking realm. Sophisticated, when she was set to semblance back an ecclesiastical court, she tried to escape onto the Thames flood, but was having difficulties. The consider went deeper. A witch was twisted, Marjorie Jourdemayne, who understood she procured love potions for the duchess to make Gloucester fix together her. In her trial, Eleanor denied seeking to know the anticipated of the king among necromancy, but she "did address recourse to the Black Art." It is understood she turned to the necromancers and witch to try to undertake a child. In due course, Eleanor abjured her heresies.Eleanor's co-conspirators were condemned and executed--Margaret Jourdemayne was burned at Smithfield. One of the clerks was hanged, waxen, and quartered. Eleanor down for the count the rest of her life limited in many castles: Kenilworth, the Isle of Man, and in 1449, Beaumaris Sanctuary, somewhere she died in 1452. Her other half Humphrey, who, to the incomprehension of countless, had done unimportant publicly to free her-he "understood unimportant"-died five time back Eleanor. His wife's ruination had lifeless him as an important man of the win.Did Eleanor turn to the dark arts to try to bring about the death of Henry VI so that her other half might become king and she become queen? Highest historians suspect she went that far; supercilious likely, she dabbled in the dreadfully forbidden practices that other court ladies did. But in the tense and dishonest embassy withstand of the Lancastrian court, somewhere rivalries were brusquely to move quickly in the field of the War of the Roses, a error in view might numeral one everything. As was knowledgeable by Eleanor Cobham.
