Find the Answers You Seek

We live in an elaborate mental construct that is filled with energetic forces.  Learning how to tap into our planetary ancient reservoir of information can yield amazing results in your life.  Prior to modern day technology, divining was the way our ancestors accessed this information. If you are interested in learning more about this ancient technique, continue reading.
 
 
 
What is Dowsing?
 
If you have a question, and are unsure of the answer, dowsing can be used.  Prior to modern day technology, our ancestors would locate underground water reserves by dowsing.  Knowing exactly where to dig a well required more than just guessing or using the rational mind.  Instead they used dowsing, an intuitive method that gave them precise locations.  With over a 90% success rate our water dowsers had astounding accuracy.  
 
Besides just locating underground water and natural resources dowsing can also be used to obtain answers for literally ANY question you may have.  When you dowse, you tap into your subconscious mind and spirit forces who can assist you in obtaining the answers you seek.  
 
How Does Dowsing Work?
 
Dowsing employs the use of tools that act as indicators to your “yes” or “no” questions.  It is easy to do and can be performed by anyone who has an intent to learn.  You start by asking a question in your mind.  The tools will respond to show the answer. 
 
The most common dowsing tools are the pendulum and the L-shaped rod.   There is nothing magical about either tool.  They are simply indicators that interact with your subconscious mind.  
 
 
It Can’t Be That Easy?  Can it? 
 
There is a science to how and why dowsing works.  If you are interested in learning more, I highly recommend our short home study course entitled, “The Ancient Art of Divination: Dowsing for Beginners.”  In this course you will learn: 
 
What dowsing is and how to do it
More about dowsing tools 
How to use the tools correctly
Why and how dowsing works
How to work with earth’s energies
Ancient sites and their energies
and Much More…
 
There is NO enrollment fee and NO application to complete

 

 

 
Often, when you ask a really good question, and receive an answer, it stimulates more questions in your mind.  Every question has an answer and searching for them will begin a unique spiritual journey.  This is the nature of life and dowsing is truly a natural journey.  Those who embark on this journey will forever be changed. 

Divine Resurrection: Kundalini Rising

As a child raised in a Christian family, I have vivid memories of getting ready for one of the most important holidays of the year, Easter Sunday.  My mother would buy us beautiful dresses, new shoes, and a purse to wear.  I would stay up the weekend before having my hair pressed out and curled.  We dyed Easter eggs and had baskets stuffed with goodies, which I couldn’t wait to indulge in after church.  Everyone showed up in their Sunday’s best expecting our preacher’s well-prepared sermon for the big day.  We always arrived early to ensure we’d get a seat in the crowded building as members who hadn’t attended all year would show up on this day.  As lovely as the fellowship was, it is unfortunate the members were completely unaware of the spiritual resurrection that was supposed to occur within themselves.
 
 
What is a spiritual resurrection?
 
The spiritual resurrection is often referred to as a great realization; as it is a divine state of enlightenment. Few have fully experienced it, however those who were fortunate enough to have been changed forever!  The resurrected one becomes a new creature as their old habits and thoughts fade from their consciousness.  Some spiritual disciplines offer guidelines to assist you in reaching this divine state of full awareness and enlightenment.  However, some believe this awakening only happens as an unplanned and unexpected phenomenon as it is a deep and often philosophical experience where man realizes his own true nature and maintains a balanced life relative to his environment.
 
Our resurrection occurred when we desired a deeper walk with God.  We asked for a 100-fold walk and ended up unlocking a door to our subconscious minds that will never be closed again.  Your awakening may be initiated by other means.   Depending on your line of thought, the approach, and the book you’re reading or the teacher you’re following your spiritual awakening may vary. Some require complicated steps while others just require several kinds of meditations and the awakening they are seeking will eventually occur.  Most require guidance to trigger their resurrection.  May it be specific steps or generic principles, people with prior knowledge find it easier to reach a state of spiritual enlightenment.
 
How should you begin?
 
Start by preparing your mind by entertaining the possibility of your own divinity.  Whether you believe in a step-by-step process or you only accept the fact the spiritual awakening happens in a natural and more spontaneous way, preparing yourself brings you closer to your goal.  How? Believing truthfully that there is more to this reality than meets the eye is something you should begin to ponder. Analyze yourself and acknowledge your shortcomings, problems, and ability to change your life.  Next determine how your thoughts relate to your life situations and your environment.
 
As you discover more about yourself, take the time to understand our reality.  Place yourself in the world you live in and see how you relate to it given all the things you’ve learned about yourself. Attaining an awakened or enlightened spirit comes from understanding the world and how you react to it and how you can impact it.  Learn to think outside of the box and weigh all possibilities, not just the ideas the masses accept as true.
 
Then you should learn the process of healing.  Once issues and problems have been clearly identified, find the path of healing not only focusing on healing yourself but also promoting healing to others. This is an important aspect of reaching an awakened or enlightened state.  Finally, seek to achieve balance.  Balance in both the physical and spirit bodies are ideal.  You are more than just a physical body; you are a living soul.  Your soul is eternal; therefore, all your actions, thoughts, and ideas should be based on the infinite not the finite.  Finite thinking will keep you trapped in the illusion.   This is why Christians are taught that Christ rose from the dead and ascended into the heavens.   His consciousness rose from the root chakra to the crown and he experienced bliss.

The Lost Knowledge of Crystal Healing

“And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”  Luke 19:40 
 Stones “crying,” does that make any sense to you?  It would if you understood the science of crystals and their hidden properties.   If you are unfamiliar with these precious gems, we highly recommend you continue reading.
 
 
Everything on this realm has consciousness because we live in a mind-matrix reality.  Our ancestors referred to this form of energy as spirit forces.  So, even your rock formations such as crystals possess reserved radiated energy.  Worldwide, from Africa to the Americas, our ancestors intuitively identified the power of crystals. They incorporated these precious stones into their daily lives, using them in rituals, for medicine, and in divination.  
They used crystals to release physical, mental, and spiritual blockages.  When you place them on various parts of your body, they can reconnect you to the healing energies of the planet.  The scripture written above reflects this ancient knowledge that there is a connection between crystals and humans. Like humans, each crystal has different properties and energies.  Therefore, you can use crystal energies for healing as each one has a specific resonance that can heal and bring your body back into balance.
This ancient knowledge was lost during western colonization and has just recently been reintroduced into the western planetary consciousness with the “new age” movement.  The incredible healing properties of crystals and gemstones has led to a resurrection of ancient Crystal healing.
What is Crystal Healing?
 
Crystal healing is a form of natural healing that uses crystals or gemstones primarily by placing them on specific energetic centers of the body called “chakras.”  In Hindu, Chakra means spiritual energy.  According to this ancient teaching there are seven basic energy centers in the body.  Each center has a specific color associated with it.  By placing a crystal that has a corresponding color on the body’s energetic center, it enhances the person’s energy flow.  This occurs because crystals can direct the flow of energy in a person to a specific part of the body, thus bringing homeostasis.  
 
 Crystals can also be used to cleanse a person’s aura from bad or negative energy which is believed to cause an illness.  By removing the negative spiritual energy, it eases the ailment.  We can use crystals for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing.  In fact, many people visit “crystal healers.”  Professional nurses are being trained to use crystals to aid their patients.  Crystal healing is a modality we encourage every member of the Golden Race to incorporate into their normal health practices.   It is safer than prescription drugs and has no known side effects.

Your Ingrained Map to Life

The first cultural graffiti, your hand prints, are the original markings of individuation. These iconic markings symbolize your individual existence.  It makes the most rarefied statement, ‘I have been here!’ All those lines are part of a larger map that tells your unique story which is a wealth of valuable and useful information.
 
Hand impressions have been considered by many cultures as our personal identity, our unique mark, and the impression of who we are.  Even in our present-day reality, we are innately moved to leave our mark on reality.  These can be seen in clay trinkets from kindergarten, as graffiti on city walls, and in ancient caves around the world.
This ancient science was even recorded in your bible in the following scriptures:
Proverbs: 3; 16 ‘length of days is in her right hand; and in her left-hand riches and honor.’
 
Job: 37; 7 ‘He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.’
 
 
Each line is a defining aspect of your character, your basic instinctive nature, and how likely you are to respond to situations that arise in your life.  Your hand prints are unique, as they contain distinguishing markings!  Modern scientific methods of HAND ANALYSIS combined with ANCIENT WISDOM of PALM READING from around the world will assist you in validating your character traits as you gain insight into your life.

Protect Yourself While the Underworld is Dismantled

Strange events, senseless hate crimes, and disruptive upheavals are occurring daily as mankind’s mental stability is eroding.  This will only increase as the spiritual war that is occurring in the astral plane rages on.  For those of us who belong to the divine bloodlines, it is imperative you learn how to protect yourself and your family members.  Calling on the worldwide approved saviors won’t protect you from destruction.



Our ancestors had many powerful amulets and talisman they used to protect themselves from spiritual and physical attacks.  The eye of Horus also known as Wadjet is a powerful symbol we highly recommend to members of the Golden Race.  The power of this ancient amulet supersedes the borders of time space providing protection in our present-day reality.  The Hieroglyph which depicts the Eye of Horus translates into “He who feeds the Fire and the Human Spirit”.  This is the most powerful protective talisman you could ever learn to use!  

Most people use the Eye of Horus and the Wadjet interchangeably, however Wadjet is in fact another deity.  Both eyes are the personification of the wrath of these Gods.  In some ancient accounts the eye of Ra is the left one representing the Solar forces, and the eye of Horus is the right eye representing the Lunar forces. 


The Eye of Ra represents the magical protective force which defends Ra (and his children) against the disorderly who threaten his rule.  In the same way the Eye of Horus is the personification of Horus’ revenge against Set.  As we are in a spiritual war against Setian beings, we know this amulet will meet our needs in providing adequate protection during their demise.

This Amulet can be Used in:

§  Protection rituals
§  Banishing rituals
§  Exorcisms
§  Blessing Rituals
§  Power Awakening Spells 
§  Amplification of Magical Powers
§  Third Eye Awakening
§  Creating Holy Water
§  Healing Spells and Rituals
§  Removing Evil Eye Spells and Rituals

IDon’t have this Amulet?

If you do not have this powerful amulet, you can purchase one in our online store.  We sell pendants, necklaces, rings, and earrings to ensure you are covered as you navigate the underworld.  We highly recommend that you charge your amulet by using the following incantation from the “Book of the Dead” (Coming Forth by Day):

Let The Eye of Horus be my Protection,
O Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners,
let it spread its protection over me as it did with You,
may no harm come to me and no one can harm me!



Why not use Jesus and his Cross?
The cross is a symbol of death.  Using it opens the door to Setian beings. Our colonized ancestors in America tried invoking its energy during Jim Crow and the Civil rights era, and many of them lost their lives.  In fact, this dead, lifeless symbol invited more villains to burn crosses in their front yard, to burn down their churches and property, and to murder them.  This is why the invaders freely gave it to those they conquered.  It ensured they were left unprotected while they destroyed all who used it.     


As the beastly system is destroyed, returning to the ancient ways of our ancestors is the ONLY way to ensure your safety.

Returning to the Ancient Way

Reconnecting with your ancestral energies are of the utmost importance.  Regardless of what path your spirit guides lead you to, the goal is the same; your spiritual awakening.  Frowning on your ancestors’ spiritual beliefs based on the bias view of your oppressors, will soon prove to be a terrible mistake as the spirit and physical worlds collide. 
 
 
 
The few untouched indigenous cultures that still exist today, gives us a glimpse of our ancestral quest for a deeper understanding of the earth and the spirit world.  When most people think of rituals, they immediately associate them with pagan practices that are no longer accepted in our society.  They brush them off as irrational, superstitious, primitive acts.  Our government sanctioned churches have completely rejected our ancestral traditions, threatening anyone who dares to engage in these activities with eternal hellfire.  

The true purpose of understanding and journeying towards spiritual awakening have been forgotten by the progeny of the true indigenous planetary inhabitants.  This is unfortunate as our ancestors’ mastery of the spirit world was second to none!  Our ancient Mystery Schools, which flourished globally, were dedicated to discovering and exploring the mysteries of life thus touching all aspects of spirituality.
 
Our ancestors discovered universal tones and created special chants that were performed at midnight in different locations such as sacred lakes and in the secret chamber below the Great Sphinx.  This chanting stimulated a part of the brain that opened the mind to universal consciousness.  This direct link unleashed pent up psychic gifts and abilities.  Once reconnected, the initiate was given many gifts such as intuition, creativity, clairvoyant abilities, and emphatic abilities.
 
Our ancestors recognized the end of the year as the time of reckoning, reflection, and engendering towards spiritual enlightenment.  Mother Worship started with a meditation ritual which strengthened the understanding and devotion of the participants.  Meditation would also draw wisdom and health to those who took part in the ritual. 
 
Homa is an Indian ancient fire ritual which is performed with the purpose of helping with your personal relationships, finding a partner, conceiving children, and removing bad karma or negative aspects in your horoscope. 
 
In Buddhist and Hindu traditions, tantra is used to express and advance spirituality.  “Tantra” means web and enlightenment and are rituals that maintain your spiritual core.  These ancient rituals are used in India to attain spiritual enlightenment and advancement.  Today, Tantra has evolved into a sexual/spiritual phenomenon.  Due to mankind’s ignorance of the true purpose of Tantra, our ancient rituals are now used for sexual perversion and have been scattered among pornography and prostitution rings.  However, as ancient energy returns to our reality, this misuse will be corrected.  
 
In Tibet, the making of thangkas paintings leads to peacefulness, patience, perseverance, concentration, self-development and spiritual enlightenment. As early as the 1stcentury, thangkas paintings which are similar to the art of Pattachitra, has been used in India.  


To assist you in returning to the ancient way, we have created a Mystery School.  Its purpose is to align you with nature, activate your energy centers, and to reconnect you with your spirit guides so they can facilitate your cosmic activation.  We present ancient hidden knowledge that has been long forgotten by many colonized humans.  

Following a pre-designed religion will never allow you to fully attain your individual spiritual goals because everyone is on a different spiritual level and have unique gifts and abilities.  Your spiritual awakening is an individual journey.  Allow our school to assist you in realigning your consciousness with the spiritual aspect of our reality.    

Keto Kills!!

Every twenty years, a new fad diet hits the scene promising its participants rapid weight loss while they chow down on their favorite unhealthy foods.  When I was in college, I too fell victim to these yoyo diets thinking they would help me look and feel great. Today, the new fad is the Keto diet.  Although it promises rapid weight loss while you cram in thousands of calories all day long, it will prove detrimental to your health in the long run. 
 
 
 
 
There is NOTHING new under the sun.  If you look hard enough, you will discover that everything in our present reality today is a repeat of something that existed long ago.  This is true of the Keto diet fad.  Just like the Keto diet, the Atkins diet promised its participants rapid weight loss if they consumed high protein and low carbohydrates.   Yes, they dropped weight, but they also experienced organ failure as the heavy proteins flooded their system.  As with all things, there must be balance.  Overeating proteins while you skimp on carbs is not recommended for anyone who wants to maintain long-term health.
 
Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Keto Diet
 
Just because this diet is popping up on all the major networks, television shows, and in eBooks throughout the internet does not mean that it is the best way to lose and maintain a healthy weight.  As with all products sold by the Establishment, they are trying to utilize the “herd mindset” to sell you on the benefits of an obviously harmful diet plan.  These diets are targeting people who have little self-control by allowing them to eat all they want day and night.  Self-control is a spiritual attribute that all our ancient systems taught. 
 
It is obvious the meat industry is behind this diet.  As the planetary consciousness is rising, people are consuming less animal products.  Heavy meat consumption slows your vibratory rate to a crawl, thus grounding you in 3D. The Keto diet recommends heavy meat consumption.  Our seas are radiated which is causing harmful mutations to occur in the sea life.  Many of which are washing up dead on our beaches.  The red meat is also harmful to your digestive tract.  As chronic wasting disease and mad cow disease are running rampant, I personally would not recommend any diet high in meats.  Heavy meat consumption can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, heart disease, kidney failure, and liver failure.  
 
These yoyo diets, like Keto, never end well for those who do them long term.  Yes, you may drop a few pounds quickly, but your internal organs need real food to survive.  If you are chowing down on heavy meats and genetically modified foods, you are not giving your body the nutrients it requires to adequately produce healthy cells.  Approximately every 21 days every cell in your body is replaced.  For your body to do this, you must give it proper nutrition by eating a well-balanced organic diet. 
 
 
 
Natural Alternatives to the Keto Diet
 
One of the most critical decisions you will ever make is the decision to improve your health.  If you truly want to lose weight, there are natural things you can do that have no harmful side effects.  Simple things like replacing a meal with an organic smoothie, periodic juicing, taking super foods, or eating one healthy meal per day will naturally help you reduce your size while you flush out harmful toxins.  Get active by taking a brisk walk.  This activity is easy to do and doesn’t take a great amount of time to complete.  
 
As you focus on the health benefits of your new lifestyle, you will receive all the motivation you need to make your lifestyle change a permanent regimen.  Your dedication will be rewarded with a longer and happier life.  Your energy level will skyrocket as you do regular exercises and consume a well-balanced diet. 
 
Not only will you look and feel better, you will also improve your confidence.  High self-confidence will carry you through even the most difficult times of your life.  As you watch the numbers on the scale get lower and your clothes start to fit better and looser, you will enjoy your new lifestyle and love what you are doing for your health.  
 
 
Natural Healing is Available for You

Ancient Fragrance Healing Remedies

Have you ever smelled an aroma, and it immediately recalled a memory that was lodged deep in your subconscious mind?  Well, you are not alone, scents have a powerful effect on all our lives. Just a hint of an aroma can make you crave food even if you’ve just eaten.  But did you also know it can be the pathway to encourage health and healing?
 
 
Many cultures have used the sense of smell to heal for centuries. They understood the relationship between our olfactory glands, various scents, and how they could unify the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of ourselves.
Aromatherapy is an alternative medicine which uses naturally extracted aromatic oils from plants.  The mood-altering effects of aromatherapy has been experienced by many who have used this discipline.  Our olfactory systems primary pathway involves the amygdala part of the limbic system and is linked to our emotions and memories. This is why scent invokes powerful feelings.
Our ancestors knew that the mind and body are in constant concert with one another.  Therefore, if one’s state of mind is uplifted with the use of aromatherapy, our body would respond likewise by shifting its focus towards improved functioning, too.
 
 
It is way past time we go back to our roots and rediscover the effects of time-tested techniques such as the use of aroma as a complement for healthy living.  We have created an at-home short study course for those who are interested in learning aromatherapy.  
This course covers the follow topics:
The History of Aromatherapy
Why and How it works
Essential oils-dangerous and helpful ones
How to create your own oils
Medicinal uses of essential oils to heal
And MUCH MORE!!
There is NO enrollment fee, and NO application needed!  If you could use extra help to improve your overall well-being, the aromatic path is for you.

What is Yoga?

Yoga means different things to different people.  For some it is an exercise that stretches and strengthens the body through various poses.  For others, yoga is the realization of inner self satisfaction.  Yet to others, it is a religion you should believe in and follow. All these different ideas concerning Yoga leaves you with this simple question.  What is yoga?
 
 
 
 
Yoga goes far beyond just mere exercises full of difficult poses.  It is the union of mind, body, and spirit.  The goal of yoga is to be free from worldly suffering and the cycle of reincarnation. Yoga entails mastery over the body, mind, emotional self, and transcendence of desire. Thus, leading to a gradual knowledge of the true nature of reality.
 
This ancient science is presently found in the Hindu philosophy and is used to attain spiritual insight and harmony.  The word “yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit “yeung”, which means to join.   It closely relates a yoke as used on oxen, but also the same root gives us “join”, “junction”, “junta”, “adjust”, and “joust” to name a few.
 
Yoga is comprised of many different types and schools which all have their own unique beliefs and practices.  Keep in mind that many more paths have been established with different variations that aren’t mentioned in this article.
 
 
The Five Most Common Yoga Practices 
HATHA: This is the most popular variety of yoga that has been taught been taught for years.  This form deals with the perfection of the mind by first perfecting the body.  To achieve this result, many asanas (postures), breathing techniques, and meditations are used.
 
ASHTANGA: This yoga is much faster than the other schools.  In this form, it is considered as an aerobic yoga in which quick and smooth transitions between poses are used.
 
KUNDALINI:This type focuses on awakening and kundalini energy.  Kundalini energy is the life energy that lies dormant in our bodies.  Its imagery is commonly represented by a coiled snake.
 
MANTRA:This type of yoga is focused on calming the mind and body through the use of words and sounds like the well-known ‘om’ chant.
 
TANTRA:This type of yoga is well known for its focus on sexual spirituality.  It also incorporates the kundalini energy although the intent for awakening it differs from the Kundalini practice.
 
As you can see, yoga is a very diverse discipline.  Regardless of which type you choose, people of all ages can gain many benefits from regular practice. 
 
Traditionally, yoga consists of eight fundamental paths: Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Purna Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Maha Yoga and Ashtanga or Raja Yoga.  In the west, the term yoga often refers to Hatha yoga and its postures, movements, and breathing techniques. 
 
For those who are unfamiliar with this ancient discipline, we offer a Beginner’s Yoga home study course.  It is designed to familiarize you with yoga so you can enjoy the wonderful benefits it has to offer you.   There is NO application required and NO enrollment fee!  Just purchase your course and start learning yoga.
