JOHN OF GOD’S LOVE

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Columbus Day! I hope you have a delicious fall weekend.

I have been in seclusion for 10 days which is why you have not received news from me sooner. Thank you to all who inquired about me, it is nice to be missed. I was planning on getting an early start on this newsletter this morning but my car needed immediate attention so I spent the morning in my car repair place. As I was driving, I kept noticing the volume of traffic that usually is not there when suddenly it dawned on me that this is a long weekend. Being in seclusion makes one out of touch with the world and the fact that my eye doctor is open for business on Columbus Day added to my confusion. I actually called him to verify my appointment since it is a holiday.

Since I am not up on the latest news as I have been without TV, computer, phone, reading and writing for all of this time, I thought I would share with you my experiences of being with a healer from Brazil. John of God claims no fame, he says only God heals so he does nothing. He prefers to be called by his given name but people who have experienced healing from him have attached God to his name. At the age of 8 in the poor country of Brazil, he left home to find a job. He was living under a bridge when some people saw him from a neighboring village and invited him to their church. John (Joao) suddenly passed out and woke up 4 hours later in total confusion. He was surrounded by many people and was told that he had been in actuality healing all of these people. Being so young when all of this occurred he never even graduated grade school and at 74 years of age, still cannot read or write, yet has wisdom beyond his years. He does not speak English but speaks two other languages so it is necessary to have people translate for him both here and for those who visit the Casa in Brazil.

The last 8 years he has been coming to America for three days of healing and this retreat is held at Omega in Rhinebeck, New York. You have to see and feel it to believe it. The peace and love just oozes out of that place once a year. Everyone wears white so imagine seeing 2,000 people all in white gathered about outside or meditating or sitting in the tents that have been set up as meditation rooms or current rooms where many people are meditating which increases the energy that the entities can use for everyone. Each of us contributes to the current. The current rooms are power-places for spiritual practice, raising vibrations and healing. I have no words for what I felt or experienced, you just can’t put those experiences into words. I hope someday you will be able to personally experience it.

John of God at Omega offers the choice of coming for all three days or just one day. The campus of Omega cannot give overnight accommodations to all because there are 2,000 people a day for the three days for a total of 6,000 bodies plus all the extra people necessary to pull off such a large event. There are many hotels and accommodations in the local towns but it is not the same as staying in that loving energy for the whole three days. If you are interested after reading this newsletter, I suggest you call Omega and make reservations sometime around Christmas even though the event is usually held the last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of September.

John of God is a medium of spiritual healing who incorporates with many different “entities” although only one at a time. I know there are several doctors that come through him. One is called Dr. Augusto De Almeida, an enlightened Spirit who is dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering. He once said, “My phalange is not composed of tens or hundreds, but of thousands. I will go to the abyss for one last soul.” It has been said Dr. Augusto is the one who comes in the most frequently.

**THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY EXISTING MEDICAL PROTOCOL** He is adamant about continuing with your doctor and doing what you are told to do and what is prescribed. In fact, a human body that holds that high of a frequency for that length of time usually suffers quite visible physical manifestations of ill. He has been doing this healing work for three days a week for 66 years. Boy, what dedication he has to God and to helping us. I don’t believe I could be that dedicated, could you?
Joao is quite different compared to most mediums of spiritual healing that allow that voltage of energy into their body because he is 74 and in good health. Last year, he had cancer and is now cured and chemotherapy was used to cure it. He also has a one and a half year old daughter.

Jesus, Mother Mary, St. Ignatius De Loyola, St. Francis, and others than I cannot remember also incorporate into Joao. Neither John of God nor any other living person is aware of which Enlightened Being will come through at any given time except the Beings themselves. Who best suits the situation of the person in front of him, is who comes through to help that person. The human person Joao is not in his body, the Beings are using his body to do invisible surgery and healings on the people who come to them. Joao is not aware of any happenings and cannot remember what has happened while he has been “absent”.

I first went to Brazil to see John of God in January of 2006; Josie RavenWing was my tour guide and treated all of us with such motherly love and concern through all the procedures. She is actually one of the leaders at Omega of the prayer energy we are experiencing as we are all meditating. In 2005,I was already scheduled for a knee replacement by a local surgeon but I decided to try one more thing. I was there at the Casa in Brazil with John of God for two weeks and I received an “intervention” surgery the day before I was scheduled to return home. I was told to treat it like a regular physical surgery, ie, use the wheel chairs at the airport and etc. I felt so much better even though I still had some knee pain, I cancelled my knee replacement surgery and prepared for retirement.

What I know now is that although I had received a healing, I was not ready for a “full” healing. God cannot give us what we are not ready to receive and although I wanted full recovery so badly, there had to be a part of me that was not ready. God gave us Free Will and he cannot go against the very gift he gave. We need to be able to surrender our will to His. Gradually over the years, the pain and loss of movement progressed but now I could not have the “physical” surgery because my body will not tolerate antibiotics or pain medication which is a necessity.

I try to go to Omega every year because to feel that kind of love energy is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. 2,000 + people a day meditating and holding it all at the same time intensify the effects. It is very difficult to come back to the “real” world afterwards; in fact, I have a hard time getting my car up to speed on the way home.

The entities view us as a hologram and know what we require for our highest healing. For those who would like to hand their requests to the entity, slips of paper are provided. I feel that by writing it down, it implants it more in my heart and mind and gives my permission for the healing. Also, everyone there has someone they wish healing for and they can also add those people’s names and conditions. We can also present photographs for healing which will be brought back to Brazil for healing and prayers throughout the next year.

When I had an intervention, I would go back to my room and stay mainly in bed for the whole day or 24 hours. It was easy, as I felt like I would if I had had actual physical surgery and was “out of it” most of the time. Your energy is very open at this time so it is important to not socialize or watch computer or TV or phone as you can be affected by all of these and it would interfere with the healing. For the next 8 days, absolutely no heavy lifting; no strenuous exercise, running, yoga, etc. You must have complete rest. IF you have had EYE intervention, you must refrain from reading, writing, watching television, phone, and computer use for 8 days. That is what I had and that is why I have been in seclusion and I had to add 3 more days because I had 3 surgeries and had no idea which one would be for the eyes.

The rest of the protocol is for 40 days which requires following a diet free from alcohol, fertilized eggs, arousal of sexual energy, spicy food, and all energy work, and drinking I tablespoon of water from the 3 large bottles of blessed water. Drinking it consciously, with love and appreciation for the healing you are receiving. John of God blesses this water for us to have as a tonic and an aid to our recovery. In Brazil, they have herbs but since they cannot bring that large amount of herbs into this country, the water is purchased here and he blesses it here. It is like the water of Lourdes or any other Blessed Water. Two years ago, he ordered 40,000 bottles, last year he ordered 50,000 bottles and this year 60,000 bottles and still they had more demand for what was there.

As I am rereading and checking for errors and clarity, I feel that I have not done this event justice. To have the ability to feel that intensity of love and never hear anything negative from anyone, is truly a gift. Everyone is shining and smiling at everyone else and right there to lend a hand if needed. The ages were from newborn (no kidding) to some in their 90’s. Some children were being carried and others were in wheelchairs, crutches, scooters (like me) and there was even a woman who had the kind of scooter that you kneel on with one knee while you pushed it. Yet most of the people there were mobile, they had illnesses of body, mind or spirit that just did not show on the outside. Yet they also were smiling and feeling the LOVE. IF, a big IF, you get the chance to go to Brazil or to Omega, jump at the chance, you won’t be sorry. You can also check on the computer for more info or let me know and I will send you some links.

Wayne Dyer also wrote about his experience, this is the short version. Email me if you want the whole story.
There is an extraordinary gentleman on the planet by the name of John of God. I recently had the most amazing experience with him. I sought his help for a second time for my excruciating neck pain that first arose just before the taping of my newest Public Television special, I Can See Clearly Now.

This healing took place remotely while John of God was at his home base in Brazil and I was in my hotel room in Carlsbad.

My friend Reid Tracy came to visit me just after my “spiritual surgery.” He was astonished to find a large scar on the back of my neck. Two weeks later, the scar was gone.

One of the things I admire about John of God is his simple message: “I do not cure anybody. God heals, and in His infinite goodness permits the entities to heal and console my brothers. I am merely an instrument in God’s Divine hands.”

I have come to a place in my life where I have a mind that is open to everything. I invite you to experience this man’s work through my own personal story below:

Namaste,

Wayne Dyer

PLEAIDIAN WORKSHOP & COLUMBUS DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Columbus Day! I wonder where we would be now if Columbus had
not discovered America? That leads me to be so grateful for all of
the pioneers who came and settled this country to make it safe for
all of us. Of course, I am aware of the upheaval that Congress is
causing by its childish insistence of my way or no way. Yet, that
scenario is playing out all over our country and the world. Lets
take just a minute to send Love and Compassion to our leaders and
the leaders all over the world. Ask for Wisdom from above to be
sent to all who are in charge of the decisions that will affect 7.5
billion humans who live on this precious planet. Let us not play the
blame game. WE are one species living on one planet, let us act with
love and understanding for our brothers and sisters, no matter what
role they are playing in this drama.

The beautiful foliage is here although there has been strong winds
and rain, I so enjoy the colors and when the sun shines, they
are magnificent in their splendor. Notice that it takes the sun
to bring out the colors just like it takes the Light of Spirit to
show us our true colors, which are primarily Love and forgiveness.

I missed sharing with you last week and I missed being here on the
lake at this particular time. So many of the boats have been pulled
out of the water and docks too. It kind of feels empty as I kayak
around the lake but, at the same time, it is quiet and I can enjoy
the serenity and peace of this beautiful piece of water. One of the
suggestions we received from the Pleaidians was to bring up the
picture of a placid and quiet lake before mentally attaching to
our spot on the Grid. A spot which you have too.

This workshop was the most experiential workshop I have ever done.
I believe it was either two or three rooms all opened for our use.
We were not allowed in the room or rooms until 15 minutes before it
was due to start as the energy was being set for us. The first thing
we saw were the chairs which had been placed in certain spots
designated by pieces of tape on the carpet. We were not to move the
chairs as that was the energetic grid set up for us. On the side of
the Grid were 12 circles made with chairs (again marked exactly with
tape) and a symbol on white paper right in the middle of the circle.
These circles represented our 12 strands of DNA. In the middle of
the circles was what was called the portal which was created (again
with tape) with crystals. Large ones were in the middle and others
were used to design Rays that were streaming out to us from the
huge crystals in the middle. A lot of thought, intention and guidance
was used to create this space for us. The workshop was given by
Christine Day www.christinedayonline.com who has direct contact with
the Pleaidians as well as Lemurians, Jeshua, Mother Mary and other
spiritual beings.

We were told to bring a clear quartz crystal no bigger than 4″. When
I was looking through my crystals, there were four. I placed them
in the sun to clear them and when I went to choose, they all wanted
to come so I brought them all. I was not the only one with more
than one. All of our crystals were placed on a special table for the
first two days and then we were asked to place our crystals at the
bottom of the crystal vortex rays which made the vortex complete.

We all went into all of the 12 circles but we were told to use our
guidance and intuition to pick just which one we would go in at that
particular time until we had completed all 12. It took all three days
to complete as once we felt complete in the circles, we went to sit
around the vortex, again on our own intuition of where to sit. The
chairs around the crystal vortex were placed either in threes or
sixes. There was no way we could each sit in each chair but we
were guided to sit in the ones that were meant for us. We then went
back to the grid each time we had an initiation in that particular
circle and when WE felt our DNA alignment was complete. No numb butts
from sitting all the time as we were up and down and moving except
when we were integrating the energies from where we had been. Very
powerful workshop and it was completed by each of us for ourselves
with some guidance from Christine. These initiations will continue
at our own pace and in our own Divine Timing.

Never did I expect all of this! I was called to go because my energy
was needed but I got more than I gave. When I first met Christine,
she welcomed me and said how happy she was that I had come. I know
we are sister souls after meeting her and also know that Jeshua and
Mother Mary (the energies of whom I carry) were called to be there
to assist the energies. What a weekend! What a prelude to celebrating
the Freedom that Columbus Day represents.

This saying from Abraham is so true.

There are as many different worlds as there are perceivers or Beings
or individuals. You are not here to create one world where everyone
is the same, wanting and getting the same. You are here to be that
which you want to be, while you allow all others to be that which
they want to be.

—Abraham

I am grateful for all of my experiences. Those that appear to be
challenging and those that appear to be loving. They allow me to
be ME.

WHO WAS OUR FIRST PRESIDENT & A SIMPLE CURE FOR BED BUG INFESTATION

Posted on by
It is a beautiful sunny day after many days of rain and
feeling the raw cold.  I had fully planned to start putting
away my chairs from my deck, the wooden sidewalk I
use so I can go barefoot, statues, and all the things I
bring out in the Spring to accentuate my yard.
I went to get the chairs to put them away and then
decided to sit in one in the sun for just a moment……it
turned into more than a moment.  I was in bliss, nice and warm
and feeling like it was Spring again.
Despite my plans, my mood was more nostalgic.  I was
a little sad to see the leaves fall and yet the beauty of the
wind tossing them around, uplifted me.  Since we had so
much rain, (and I was sitting outside in the chair) I could
hear the expensive system I had had installed this
spring to keep water out of my crawl space was working
good.  I had been wondering if it was working as our
summer had been so dry after it was installed.
My mind turned to Columbus Day and what a great nation
we have.  So many people have gone before us to prepare
the way so that we have our Independence.   Yet, all these
bashing political commercials have really been a downer.
My heart hurts when I hear humans degrading another human.
We are of the same species with the same needs and yet we
delight when another one of us “falls”.
This week, news broke that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
one of the biggest sources of corporate cash backing
Republicans this year–has been using money from foreign
corporations in India, Bahrain, and elsewhere to fund its attack
ads, in apparent violation of the law.
The Chamber claims that it has internal systems to keep the money
separate, but the new report shows that the foreign corporations
donate directly to the Chamber’s general fund, which is where the
funding for their political attacks comes from. This would represent
a shocking disregard for longstanding American campaign finance laws,
all to advance a corporate, right-wing agenda of outsourcing jobs
and giving huge tax breaks to multi-national corporations.
The Chamber is spending more than any other group to back                                                      right-wing Republicans  and attack progressives in the election.

This saddens me so.  Our country is supposed to be run for the people and by the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Where are we????  Why can’t the politicians just state what they intend to do for this country and let us, the people, decide what and                             who we want.  I, for one, do not intend to vote for ANYONE who                                             subscribes to bashing their opponent regardless of what office                                                     they are running for.
I think this article is such an eye opener that it will give us a                                                         reality check and also instill pride back into our citizenship of                                                       this great country.
Who was our first President?I’m sure that George Washington was your best guess.

After all, no one else comes to mind.But think back to your history books – The United States

Declared its independence in 1776, yet Washington did not
take Office until April 30, 1789. So who was running the
country during these initial years of this young country?
It was the first eight U. S.. Presidents.  In fact, the
first President of the United States was one John Hanson.
I can hear you now – John who? John Hanson, the first
President of the United States. Don’t go checking the
encyclopedia for this guy’s name – he is
one of those great men that are lost to history.
If you’re extremely lucky, you may actually find a
brief mention of his name.The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781

with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.
This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776,
but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777.Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia

and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland
was afraid that these states would gain too much
power in the new government from such large
amounts of land).Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was

needed to run the country.  John Hanson was chosen
unanimously by Congress (which included George
Washington).  In fact, all the other potential candidates
refused to run against him, as he was a major player
in the revolution and an extremely influential member
of Congress.As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes

to fill. No one had ever been President and the role
was poorly defined.  His actions in office would set
precedent for all future Presidents.  He took office
just as the Revolutionary War ended.  Almost
immediately, the troops demanded to be paid.
As would be expected after any long war, there
were no funds to meet the salaries.  As a result,
the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new
government and put Washington on the throne
as a monarch.All the members of Congress ran for their lives,

leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the
government.  He somehow managed to calm the
troops down and hold the country together.
If he had failed, the government would have
fallen almost immediately and everyone would have
been bowing to King Washington.Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops

off American soil, as well as the removal of all
foreign flags This was quite the feat, considering
the fact that so many European countries had a
stake in the United States since the days
following Columbus.Hanson established the Great Seal of the

United States, which all Presidents have since
been required to use on all official documents.President Hanson also established the first

Treasury Department, the first Secretary of
War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department.Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday

of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day,
which is still true today.The Articles of Confederation only allowed a

President to serve a one year term during any
three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished
quite a bit in such little time.Seven other presidents were elected after him:
1. Elias Boudinot (1782-83),

2. Thomas Mifflin (1783-84),

3. Richard Henry Lee (1784-85),

4. John Hancock (1785-86),

5. Nathan Gorman (1786-87),

6. Arthur St. Clair (1787-88), and

7. Cyrus Griffin (1788-89), ….all prior to

Washington taking office.So what happened?  Why don’t we hear about

the first eight presidents?It’s quite simple – The Articles of Confederation

didn’t work well.  The individual states had too much
power and nothing could be agreed upon.
A new doctrine needed to be written –
something we know as the Constitution.
And that leads us to the end of our story.George Washington was definitely not the

first President of the United States.  He was
the first President of the United States under the
Constitution we follow today.And the first eight Presidents are forgotten in history.

YOU HAVE TO BE A LOVER OF HISTORY TO

APPRECIATE THIS!!It took EIGHT years for us to establish a successful

government.  You might just remember this when you
hear that so little progress has been made establishing
a Government in Iraq.There you are – another lesson in U.S. History,

and you may have learned something new today.
On a lighter note, this is simple TO DO.

 

Subject:
Bed Bug Epidemic – trueHi All: A bit of information that you might like to know about.
We have friends here in our community and one of their sons is an
entomologist (insect expert), and has been telling them that there is
an epidemic of bed bugs now occurring in America. Recently I have
heard on the news that several stores in NYC have had to close due

to bed bug problems, as well as a complete mall in New Jersey.He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes
from companies outside of America, (sad but true), even the most
expensive stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc.
The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not
consider them a problem.

He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even underwear and
socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring  them into the house and put
them in your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes. The heat will kill
them and their eggs.
DO NOT PURCHASE CLOTHES AND HANG THEM IN THE CLOSET FIRST.
It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit
comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S. They still get
shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of
scarves or anything else for that matter. That is the reason why so
many stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut down
in NYC and other places.

All you need is to bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and
you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them. He travels
all over the country as an advisor to many of these stores, as prevention
and after they have the problem.Send this information on to those on your e-mail list so that this good
prevention information gets around quickly.

HAVE A HAPPY, FREE AND WONDERFUL COLUMBUS DAY!
Love and Light
